AMS considers sellingPit guest passes at door

By CHRIS GAINO R

The Alma Mater Society is no wconsidering making guest passe sfor the Pit available at the door .

Guest passes have beenavailable only at the AMS Co-opbookstore in the SUB basementbefore 4 p .m., since the new guestpolicy came into effect last week .Far fewer than the daily limit of 7 5

have agreed that disposables aremore economical than chinaware .

Ponderosa manager OlgaRumen said if food services allowsher to reorganize she will eliminat epaper and plastics completely infavor of china and metal items . Shesaid the recent "whooping jump"in disposables prices has madechina more economical .

"We should be able to use chinaand save money", she said .

SUB dietician Mary Stovel Isupports Bailey's claim thatdisposables save money .

Stovell said theft of about 100dozen china cups a term make theuse of styrafoam cups necessary tomake up the loss . She said paperplates and cups take up littlestorage space compared to chin aand this also saves money .

Food services only usedisposables that are "necessary "and have "consumer acceptance" ,she added.

Stovell said when SUB switchedcompletely to throw-away items i n1972 there was a rash of complaintsfrom students and food servicesresponded by changing back .partlyto china and metal .

To have people eating with allsynthetic products wa s"miserable", she said, but no wstudents accept the plastic andpaper used in SUB cafeteria andfood services will continue to us ethem .

passes were sold, and the new rule swere unpopular .

AMS co-ordinator Ron Dumontsaid Monday guest passes maysoon be available at the entrance tothe Pit . But he cautioned that th echange in policy must first beapproved by the provincial liquo rcontrol : board and the SUBmanagement committee .

Dumont said one week isn' tenough time to evaluate the ne w

Reg Rose, in charge of liaisonbetween the federal governmentand the organizers of Habitat '76 ,said Monday "there was never anyfirm commitment in respect oflocating the whole affair at UBC . "

He said, "the final decision t osplit the conference between UBCand downtown Vancouver was toutilize the facilities available to thebest possible advantage of all thos einvolved . "

William White, bursar, sai d"Habitat '76 is a very big un-dertaking . "

"There will be representativesfrom 140 countries and the decisionwas made that the downtown areawas better suited for that kind o fthing . "

White said the decision to spli tthe conference would not affectany of the projects such as the self -help housing proposed by the AlmaMater Society's spearhead com-mittee .

He said the projects are aseparate part of the conferenceand are not affected by themeetings .

policy, which was implemente dbecause students had to wait inlong line ups while non-studentguests downed beers .

"If it doesn't work, one ca nchange it," Dumont said . "Otherstudents should have preferenc eover students' guests . "

Although only a total of 55 passe swere sold last week and only eightpasses were sold on Monday, Pi tmanager Dave Foster said the ne wpolicy did not eliminate lineups atbusy periods .

Foster suggested that this wa sdue to more students using theplaces formerly used by guests, orthat most of the people who signedin as guests before the new polic ycame into effect were students whohad forgotten their AMS cards .

A Pit employee said Monday thatthe Pit staff have receive d"nothing but complaints" since thenew policy came into effect . Hecomplained that the Pit staff hadno role in formulating the ne wpolicy .

"It (the complaints) make sworking here quite unpleasant," h esaid . He also said the new gues tpolicy "won't solve problems a tpeak periods . "

Course unions :60s emotion lostin 70s beernigh t

By DENISE CHON GStudent unions and course association s

are supposed to be the '70s answer to the ad-hoc emotional '60s .

Unions are meant to be a collectiveresponse to departmental decisions an dassociations to be academic communitie s

• and clubs for social get-togethers .That was in the beginning .Now, the only student associations wit h

any political clout are the ones that grew ou tof the placard-waving '60s and managed tomaintain some continuity from year to year.

As for the rest? Some rally around bi-weekly beer nights, while others exist only

• because of a mailbox in the departmentaloffice .

At UBC, only the philosophy students'organization refers to itself as a union withpolitical objectives . It had its origins in the'days of `student radical' Stan Persky, whe nstudents decided that without a union ofsome sort, ad-hoc disagreement to depart -mental decisions concerning students wa sparity policy, which had been a radica l

"We grew out of opposition to faculty, "said John Butterfield, grad studies 10 ,"although now it's not so much of a struggl eagainst the department. Things are runningpretty smoothly this year . The departmentwants students to sit on some of the com-mittees . "

The most successful of these committees 'is the curriculum committee where student sdo have some say in both new and curren tcourse content, Butterfield said .

But in general, securing studen trepresentation on departmental committee sis essentially an upward struggle . Facultymotives are sometimes obscure and thei rdecisions unpredictable . The best exampl eof this is the Simon Fraser Universitypolitical science, sociology, anthopologyunion .

The department, in 1968, described a s"progressive" by Norman Nawrocki, SFUarts 2, was at first receptive to studentdemands and established parity betwee nstudents and faculty on all departmenta lcommittees .

But as a consequence of the strike and th edepartmental purge of eight professors, theparity policy, wyich had been a radicaldeparture from other SFU departments ,was suddenly reversed . All parity com-mittees were dissolved .

"Now we're undergoing a very lon grebuilding process," Nawrocki said . Thedepartment is still saying it is `their 'department .

"Only one or two professors take the sid eof the students, the rest of the faculty

• maintain students are not only `incompetentbut incapable of handling so manypositions' . "

The faculty reply to committee parity hasbeen "absolutely not", Nawrocki said ,despite the fact that in 1968 students wereable to "co-operate with faculty andestablish workable committees" .

Although the union refuses to be satisfiedwith anything less than parity represen-tation, Nawrocki admitted the animositybetween faculty and students had created anobstacle, but that it had "inevitably com eabout" .

The UBC philosophy students' attempt a tparity was turned down a year ago, whe nthe union proposed students have one voteless than faculty at all departmenta lmeetings . Students were granted threevotes, as opposed to 18 faculty votes .

In contrast to the PSA union, politica lsquabbles are past history to the SF Ugeography students union . Students sit onvarious committees, including th ecurriculum, departmental policy an dsalaries committees .

The union has its own office, operates alibrary and has on file a collection of studen tessays and term papers dating back to th efall of 1971 .

One of the most useful functions is thegrievance committee, an intermediar ybetween faculty and staff, to which student scan bring their complaints about eithe rpaper grades or course marks .

"We take the item under criticism andwork with the student in trying to get som eother member of the faculty to mark it,"

said Kathy Maclntosh, SFU arts 4 . "If thatfails, we can take it to the departmenta lchairman and if necessary, to senate . "

The PSA and UBC philosophy unions areessentially political organs — academicactivities are more of an offshoot of studen tget-togethers . The PSA union is working o nan anti calendar and intends to eventuall ybring in guest speakers and present a fil mseries . Philosophy students have set up areading and discussion group distinct fro mthe union.

But all three of these unions, the two atSFU and the philosophy union at UBC, hadtheir roots in the '60s era of student in-novation, and despite what may have ap-peared to be departmental attempts to th-wart their activities, hung on tenaciously .

The SFU political science department, fo rexample, finally allowed one studen trepresentative to attend departmenta lmeetings . But that turned to be little mor ethan a token gesture, said Nawrocki, sinc ethe word was soon out that there would be nodepartmental meetings, "only the depart-mental chairman made decisions . "

Other student organizations at UBC callthemselves associations, rather tha nunions, and are headed by a four or fivemember steering committee . Although theprinciple "to see if professors are receptiveto change" is embodied in their con -

stitutions, many of these associations existin name only .

"There was talk of forming a politica lscience students' association one or tw oyears ago," said political science repMaureen Boyd, arts 4 . "But to myknowledge the idea just sort of fizzled outand died ."

A group of economics students is drawingup a constitution and planning to take i tbefore the Alma Mater Society later thi sweek, but according to Andy Terrett, arts 3 ,the economics students association is stil ljust an idea, "not quite off the ground . "

"Faculty is actually anxious to have theassociation formed," Terrett said . "In fact ,at first there was some discussion thatmaybe there should be a faculty adviser onit. "

These attempts at forming studen tassociations are more geared toestablishing a social and academic com-munity, a much easier task than main-taining political continuity from year toyear .

"If there are any serious problems we dolook into them, but we're not in it toradicalize anything," said geograph yassociation spokesman Mike Thorne, arts 4 .

"We're basically a social organization .Meetings are called when and if necessary ,but everybody knows nobody comes out tomeetings . "

That in essence is the basic problem ofkeeping the associations an on-goingoperation . The history students association ,according to one source, is left picking upthe pieces this year after the departure of

last year's association'head' .This problem is also typical of the

geography students' association, but to alesser extent . The two students who were the

driving force behind the association las tyear are enrolled in grad school this yea rand can be contacted if necessary .

"But what we're doing is fairly simpl eanyway," Thorne said . "We may have aproblem next year but we do have now atleast three or four third-year students thatare very much involved, although any effortto get first-year students involved is to n oavail . "

It's difficult to get any sort of politica lleverage because students don't have apermanent stake in anything, said But-terfield .

"You can try drafting younger student sbut some people are just too busy to clutte rup their lives with politics . "

Although operating costs are minima lbeyond mimeographing, pen and poste rcosts, the financial situation of theassociations hangs in limbo .

The history association, presently tryingto set up regular course evaluations twice ayear, is supposed to receive a grant from thearts undergraduate society, but there is stillno sign of any money . According to Thorne ,the geography students' association doe shave an account with the AMS, but the yhave never received anything "but verba lsuggestion that there might be moneyavailable . "

So we just work hand to mouth," sai dThorne . "We just keep things going as muc has possible."

Student fervor of '60s lost in '70s organization .

Student salaries

on Poverty Linetsua 4uolTORIUH/

"Damn good movie, huh?"

Students have always lived o nsomething popularly known as thePoverty Line — a governmen tinvention akin to concentratio ncamps, only more subtle .

Now accomodation on thisPoverty Line is predicated, quit elogically, . on having no money —something students have always bee ngood at .

And the reason students hav ealways been good at this is becauseof another government inventionknown as the Minimum Wage .

The Minimum Wage is somethin gemployers are allowed to paystudents and other unskilled worker swhen they work for them part time .

The university employs studentsin many capacities part time an dbecause of this, is a note dafficionado of the minimum wage .

It pays most student clerical andlibrary workers minimum wages,according to figures compiled by th eAssociation of University an dCollege Employees and published i nThursday's Ubyssey .

Now, as AUCE so aptly pointsout, this isn't fair .

Students working part time ,whether in the library, in clerica lcapacities or as professors' assistants,are doing the same work done b yunion or faculty members.

Therefore, they should be paidthe same rates .

Enough of this business of usin gstudents as a pool of underpai dlabor . Or unpaid labor. Or labor thathas to pay through that neat littl econtraption called tuition .

We should instead be paid thesame rates as the people doing

Last chance !O .K. O.K. We'll give you a secon d

chance .Last week we invited all an d

sundry would-be opinion-mouldersup to our cozy little orifice in SUB241-K to feel the heady winds hereon the Mount of campus journalism .

We even asked nicely for once.And we weren't fussy. All we sai dwas no hippies need apply .

And no hippies did . Trouble was,neither did anyone else .

So we're throwing it open. Thenice thing you'll find about workingon a college paper is you can writeabout anything .

So we're giving you this lastchance. Definitely the last chance .

Even hippies are welcome thistime. But bring dope.

similar jobs full time . And thosepeople doing the full time workshould support students in seekin ghigher wages, as AUCE also point sout, or one day the administration i sgoing to start hiring cheap studentworkers to fill jobs full-time worker swould otherwise take .

So students, faculty and unio nmembers should support AUCE in it sapplication to the Labor Relation sBoard through letters of support .

Allow me to recount an experience thatoccurred the other day at a meeting of theFaculty Association, that closed shop ofdisinterested academics .

The subject on the agenda was salarynegotiations . As readers may recall fromyour Thursday story, the negotiating briefcalled for a 13-per-cent increase across theboards and $3,000 more per faculty member .No small sum, coming hard after a rathe rgeneral salary increase last year an dseveral short weeks after the public outcr yagainst the proposed 50-per-cent increase i nsalaries for MPs and their overworke dcolleagues, the senators .

At junior levels 13 per cent and $3,00 0translates into more than 30 per cent pe ryear and at senior levels about 25 per cent .And this is without mentioning thenumerous fringe benefits — 2 .5 per cent fo rmerit pay, dental plans and housing loan swhich the association also wants .

Whatever case can be made for moreproletarian strata in society, facult ymembers will have a hard time convincin gthe public of their plight . No governmentwith the slightest bit of sense, facing theeconomic difficulties that lie ahead, woul dbe prepared to offer the more than 30 pe rcent in increases and benefits this group ofprivileged professionals is demanding .

I was surprised, therefore, to find myselfa minority of one when I proposed lowerin gthe salary demands to a more realistic level .An average of 20 .5 per cent is more closel yattuned to wage settlements in B.C. inrecent months and still significantly morethan the 13 to 14 per cent that would cove rinflation and any increase in productivity .

The silence in the auditorium wa sdeafening . Not-a hand to the right or the leftpopped up to second my motion . The Tories ,always so hasty to denounce the heresy o fmaterialism, clung to their pocketbooks likerentiers out of Balzac . The centre, tha tvaliant opponent of student power at every

level of the university, homed in for thebutter on its bread like rats in a pack. Andwhat of the left, so free with its slogans i nsupport of this cause and that, - socialdemocracy, Chinese self-sufficiency o rabortion on demand? Like the old radica lparty, they had been caught in the act — redon the outside and white where their owninterests were concerned.

It was enough to make one savour theSurrealists . "A nation of pigs and dogs . . ."usurpers of the human spirit" . ."masters of human servility" . But insultsserve no purpose among gentlemen an dliberated ladies . Far better to perish anenemy of the people than risk further of -fending one's over-educated peers . Howcomfortably_ surplus value becomesacademic robes.

Thrown outThursday morning I was thrown out of th e

weekly psychiatry department seminar .After hearing Dr. Ian Hector, examiner i npsychiatry for the Royal College ofPhysicians and Surgeons, summarize thedire situation in that field with comments a s"perhaps psychiatry has no future as amedical speciality", the audience was in-vited to continue the discussion over coffee .

I am a staff member of Family Services ,which receives a weekly invitation to thepsychiatry department lectures . I work witha group of Vancouver parents, have been alecturer in personality development and thefamily in the psychiatry department at theUniversity of Otago in New Zealand and a man occasional lecturer on women and familyhistory for UBC's continuing educationdepartment . As such, Hector's statementthat recent classes of psychiatric residentsneeded more training in personalitydevelopment and family therapy struck aresponsive chord in me and I asked ifpsychiatrists should deal with the familiesof the mentally ill in the same supportiveand sympathetic way in which otherphysicians deal with chronically ill patients .

I had in mind the contrast between thi stype of supportive family therapy and thefrequently destructive and painfulgeneration of family conflict frequentlyevoked by psychiatrist who may believe thatthe patient's illness is caused by the familyand that stirring up hostility will somehowcure the disease .

After Hector had dealt with my questionsBetty Trainor, a Registered Nurse anddirector of the Vancouver chapter of theTweedsmuir Centre which providesvolunteer counselling for mental patients ,asked if such therapies as psychoanalysisand psycho-therapy were required to bevalidated by the same stringent criteriaapplied, for example, to chemical therapies .

Without giving Hector a chance to reply ,assistant phychiatry professor James Mile sasked Trainor and me if we were member sof the psychiatry department or of facult yand then peremptorily asked us to leave .

It is interesting to speculate on Miles' smotivation . We were the only wome npresent . Was male supremacy the unwittin gresponse to two articulate women? Was hemore comfortable in an all-male kaffee

klatsch? Was he trying to protect the publi cfrom the knowledge that a psychiatrist aseminent as Hector questions whether"psychiatry will continue to be recognizedas a speciality" because it is turning outresidents with such a "vague, woolly, mish -mash of ideas" .

Miles could have saved himself th etrouble, if indeed he was trying to keep th ecrisis in psychiatry within the family . Thereis a thriving book publishing trade by othereminent psychiatrists featuring such sexytitles as The Death of Psychiatry, TheManufacture of Madness and The MindGame — Witch Doctors or Psychiatrists i nwhich more extreme positions are taken .

Hector's last comment on the educationprocess for budding psychiatrists wa s"never have so many spent so much and s olong learning so little . "

Perhaps" if Miles, succeeds in closingdepartmental seminars to questioningoutsiders, he will be able to maintain thehappy state of affairs a little longer. As aninvited guest, I believe Miles owes me anapology .

Grow upRe: university committee on a women' s

pavilion to celebrate international women' syear being criticized by some committeemembers in Thursday's Ubyssey .

Any positive action by its nature induces anegative reaction . A classic example is theinternational women's year pavilionproject. A coincidence of events created a nopportunity. International women's yearand the human settlements conference:Habitat provided a time continuity, the onefollowing on the other . Habitat had fundingand international women's year ha dprograms. Put the two together and youhave an opportunity — an opportunity toprovide Vancouver women with a "room fo ragreement" .

The opportunity presented itself b ychance, not by design . Question : Are wome nable to seize an opportunity and actdecisively and positively toward som ecommon goal?

Emphasize question .Some said yes . Result : A group of workin g

women devoting evenings and weekends t odoing something, not to polemics . Rewards :A great deal of work and no pay . What for ?A positive, tangible result, a somewhatminiature building that Vancouver womencan call their own .

Reaction : This is an inconsequential ef-fort being given priority over more sub-stantial needs. Let us be clear and exact ,Marion Barling. The women's pavilion isbeing given no priorities . It is not taking onered cent from funding for other women' sprograms, either active or contemplated. Itis an act of giving, not of taking (exceptfrom Habitat) . It should encourage theaction of people who have priorities to seekopportunity rather than indulge in the easyretreat into the negative role . Hit thewomen's pavilion and the money will simplygo for something else . Goodbye . See yousome years hence when we all grow up .

NUS campaigns for better loan sAlso the federal government willbe reviewing its entire relationshi pwith CSLP next year .

Another main aim of the NUScampaign will be to push forstandardized financial aidprograms across the country .Since education is a provincialresponsibility, each province setsits own criteria for loans and theamounts of the loans paid out .

The federal government give sout money for the loan portion of astudent aid .grant while theprovinces look after the bursaryportion . .

The NUS campaign is being runat the campus level . The mainpolicies of the campaign, finan-cing, and timetabling were decidedat a NUS general meeting in Oc-tober. The individual campuscampaigns will be co-ordinatedwith the NUS national office inOttawa.

"The individual campus com-mittees will run the student ai dcampaign on their campuses . Wehave to pressure both the federa land provincial governments overthe 'student aid issue, and thesecommittees will be promoting th ecampaign and at the same time theNational Union of Students, "Creswick said .

The campus campaign com-mittees will be promoting thecampaign through leaflets ,posters, pamphlets and sym-posiums . The NUS national offic ehas distributed posters and variousslogans which can be inserted onthe posters . The individual campuscommittees choose the slogan andprint the posters .

The committees are also holdingbenefits to publicize the campaignand to defray the expenses in-volved. So far NUS has raisedabout $4,000 from benefits and

pledges from individual campuses .NUS committees have been

formed at Simon Fraser Univer-sity and Capilano College in B .C . InAlberta the University of Calgary ,University of Alberta and theUniversity of Lethbridge haveagreed to push the campaign .

In Manitoba all three univer-sities of Brandon, Winnipeg an dManitoba have undertake ncampaigns to push for changes i nthe provincial aid program .

In Saskatchewan both th eUniversity of Saskatchewan an dSt . Thomas More have agreed towork on organizing NUS campaig ncommittees .

In Ontario, the OntarioFederation of Students is runningan extensive campaign on studentaid programs . NUS campaigncommittees have also been formedat -Lakehead, Carleton and theUniversity of Toronto .

Former Ubyssey co-editor Mik eSasges and current Ubysse yphotographer Marise Savariastunned friends and relativesSaturday with the announcementthat wedding bells will ring for thepair in the fall .

Savaria, whose left hand wa snoticeably heavier from the weigh tof a "rock," confessed that it was along and trying courtship .

The two almost became hig hschool sweethearts at good ole Kit sbut instead settled for swappin gjokes. It was not until a bottle ofaquavite brought them togetherduring the summer of 1972 that aromance blossomed.

Sasges admitted that therelationship developed throug hworking together on the bes tstudent newspaper west of Blanca .He cited late nights at the printersand an accessible darkroom as thekey factors in the liaison .

"All we want is a double bed, acolor television set and a tabl ehockey set," declared the happycouple, who are looking forward tothe convenience of cohabitation .

While over 100,000 CEGE Pstudents went on strike in Quebecover the student aid program, NUShas not yet formally approachedthem in regard to the student aidcampaign several of the in-stitutions have been sent in -formation . Quebec does not par-ticipate in the CSLP but doesreceive federal money for studentaid . Representatives from Quebecwill be invited to the NUS Mayconference to discuss futur ecooperation .

Although the student aid cam-paign hasn't been officially en-dorsed by New Brunswick in-stitutions, the issue has beenreceiving support . Representa-tives from five institutions metwith provincial political partyleaders before the recen tprovincial election to discus sstudent aid. NUS representative swill be meeting with studen tcouncil leaders there to discus ssupport for the NUS program .

A NUS representative fro mKing's College has expressed a ninterest in visiting Nova Scoti ainstitutions to discuss the NU Sproposal . Both Dalhousie and St .Mary's universities have ex -pressed an interest

In Newfoundland the Memoria lUnion of Students (MUN) ha sexpressed their total support fo rthe campaign and will be coor-dinating their provincial cam-paign . MUN has been fighting thegovernment for several month sover student aid programs and ha sgot some concessions .

NUS plans to continue campu scoordinating committees and wil ldecide on further steps at theconference in May .

PANGO-PANGO (UNS) —Citizens of the tiny island kingdo mrejoiced Monday at the arrival ofcrown prince Michael Badges an dhis bride-to-be Marise Bavaria .

They will be married in the 167 -seat national coliseum by ar-chbishop-disc jockey Wolfma nCool in a gala affair hosted by alocal washroom accessories outlet .

Badges will wear a diamond -studded leather ensemble and hisfiancee will appear in a longflowing pink ostrich feather gownsupported by 20 uniformed pigmiesshipped in from the Vatican for theoccasion .

OTTAWA (CUP) — The NationalUnion of Students (NUS) campaig nfor a better Canada Student Loa nPlan (CSLP) is in full swing in allparts of the country .

The campaign is working on twolevels . Nationally it will try toimplement changes in the CSL Pand provincially it will push fo rmodifications in student fundingplans .

"While NUS is striving forseveral main policies, the mainpurpose of the campaign will be todecrease students' financia lliabilities by reducing the loanportion and not the grant portion ofstudent assistance programs, "said NUS national office staffmember Hilda Creswick .

The NUS campaign comes at acrucial time as many provincia leducation ministers have bee ndiscussing increasing the loanceilings for student aid programs .

The 'Birds rugby team plays a nexhibition game this Saturda yagainst Capilanos . Kickoff is a t2 :30 p .m . at UBC .

By STU LYSTE RUBC goalie Vic Lemire has all

the credentials for a successfulpick-pocket when he decides tohang up his skates .

Lemire left more than oneUniversity of Calgary playe rskating with their jock aroundtheir ankles as he ]lead the Thun-derbirds to 5-2 and 5-4 victorie sover the Dinosaurs and into secon dplace in the CW'UAA HockeyLeague on the weekend .

Lemire was more of a factorFriday night as he shut out theDinos until 11 :34 of the thirdperiod . By that time UBC had buil tup a 5-0 lead with single goals bySteve Davis, Brian DeBiasio, Bil lEnnos, Gerry Bond and KeithTindle .

He was particularly impressiv elate in the game as the UBCdefense crumbled under thepressure at Calgary's buildin gmomentum .

At 18 :03 of the third period herobbed two Calgary players in arow as they were parked right i nhis crease. Showing their team' sfrustration with Lernire, one Dinosmashed his stick against the iceand both went to the bench shakin gtheir heads .

Despite periodic letdowns ,UBC's defence played a solid gamelead by hard-rocks Wayne Hendr yand Rod Hare. Hare treated aCalgary forward to a lesson onskating with his helmet when awell placed hip sent him flippe dinto the, boards in the secon dperiod .

Saturday's action switched fro mLemire to UBC's forward lines a sthe 'Birds overcame a 3-1 deficitgoing into the third period to pul lout a 5-4 overtime thriller .

As CITR Radio announcer ThomHardern said, "Both teams ha deach other's number during th efirst period of play ."" They playedeven, scoreless hockey until 19 :3 1when David Bruce intercepted aclearing pass in the UBC end an dbounced a shot off teammate RonLogan past an unsuspectin gLemire .

UBC got back on track early i nthe second period with Bo bSperling's power-play tip in of aBrian DeBiasio shot from thepoint .

Then a fight between an other-wise docile 'Bird, John Jordan, an dCalgary's Ron Gerlitz resulted in amass brawl giving UBC the ma nadvantage .

But even with the extra man ,UBC was starting to crumbl eunder the weight of the Dinosaur

revenge from the humiliation theytook the night before .

Calgary's John MacPhee gavethem the go ahead goal only 4 3seconds after the fight and itlooked like a fast trip down hill al lthe way for the 'Birds .

The rattled 'Birds spent the rest 'of the period making bad passesand missing checks, mostly in thei rown end. Lemire continued hi smagic act, only allowing one moregoal that period giving the Dinos a3-1 lead .

At the start at third it looked as ifthe 'Birds had laid down and diedin the dressing room as theycontinued their sloppy play .

But Bob Sperling turned thing s. around .

Following a break he took tw ostiff checks in the corner the n'passed to line mate Bill Ennos inthe slot while lying flat on his back .

By CARL VESTERBAC KCarol Turney shambled out on to

the floor in Calgary on theweekend, and shambled off withthe Canada West scoring lead an dher team in first place .

The Thunderettes won bothgames against the University . ofCalgary Dinettes, taking the first83-47, and sailing even further outof sight in the second to the tune of96-28 .

For Turney, it was an especiallysuccessful weekend. The Nationa lTeam ace collected 33 points in thefirst game, and 37 in the second toestablish herself in first place i nthe Canada West scoring race .

"Carol played a super series fo rus," said coach Susan Evans i ncareful understatement . "She waswith the National Team in Mexic oduring the holidays, and the ex-perience has really improved he rgame . "

Another Thunderette earnin gpraise from Evans was KathyBurdett . "Kathy is always the onewho directs our offense," saidEvans . She also scored 20 points inthe Friday game, hitting over 60per cent to maintain her leaguelead in field goal averages .

Saturday's game was the firs ttime the Thunderettes have reall yplayed as a team, Evans said .

"Friday's game was the first

Ennos scored putting the 'Birdsright back into the game .

Then Danny Peck and Ji mLawrence made their first ap-pearances of the evening an dsparked the attack with thei rfreshness and speed .

Against Central Washington it was Crai gDelahunt's last minute takedown that gave him a 5- 3decision in the 167-pound class and broke a 15-15 tie .

Moments before it had been a decision by MikeRichey that lifted the 'Birds into the tie . He hadcompletely outclassed his slower opponent but coul dnot find the handle to pin him with .

Two matches after Delahunt's George Richey los tno time in pinning Central's Stew Hayes at 190 lbs . toice the match for UBC .

UBC's Kyle Raymond then finished the meet off b yfighting to a draw with the American's Rocky Isley .That made the final score 26-20 for the 'Birds, much tothe delight of the crowd of almost 200 who took in thematch .

Saturday the 'Birds dispatched the SFU Clansmen27-18 but were narrowly edged by EasternWashington 25-23 .

Their dual meet record now stands at 3-2-0 . Theirother loss coming at the hands of WesternWashington State, over the holidays, by a score of 2-18 .

Thunderbird coach Bob Laycoe was juggling hi slineup in an effort to spread the experience around ."We put some second-string people in on Saturday . Itmay have weakened our over-all strength just a bi tbut we are aiming at the Canada West title and the yhave a couple of weight classes we don't get to use indual meets . They have a 109-14 class and another a t220 . We got those guys some matches too," Layco esaid .

Canadian University PressThe presidents of two major

Ontario universities have warnedtheir provincial government tha tunless more money is granted ,enrollment and services will b ecurtailed in the near future .

University of Waterloo presidentBurt Matthews said recently thatcontinuing money shortages wil lforce his university to trim its staffand "cut all the corners we can" i nthe next few years .

Matthews said that in addition tospending curbs already included i nnext year's budget, the universitywould have to reduce salary ex-penses by about five per cent toavoid deficits in future years .

The 1975-76 budget, nearl ycompleted, projects a $1 .2 milliondeficit on total expenditure o fabout $49 .5 million . The deficit wil lbe paid from $3 million in reserv efunds .

Matthews said most cuts to avoidcontinuing deficits must be madeon salaries because they accountfor about 80 per cent of theuniversity ' s annual money outlay .

The university already has made• plans to make cuts in other area ssuch as reducing the library' soperating hours and closing thecampus hospital .

Matthews said the cutbacks i nstaff and faculty members wouldbe made through normal turnoverand resignations, and would notresult in any firings .

"It's not a crisis or anythingwhere you're running aroun dtapping people on the shoulder andsaying `you're it" he said . Mat -thews also said he is "becomingmore and more pessimistic" aboutthe chances of universities gettingbigger grants in future years.

Canadian University Pres s

A week-long strike by serviceemployees at the University ofCalgary ended Monday, bu tanother strike at LakeheadUniversity in Thunder Bay, Ont ., i scontinuing with no hope of earl ysettlement.

Neither strike forced can-cellation of classes or most otheruniversity services .

The Calgary strike ended afte rthe university administratio nobtained an injunction effectivenoon Monday against the 11,100-member local of the Civil ServiceAssociation of Alberta . Workers 'met through the afternoon befor egetting a promise from the ad -ministration to request funds for aretroactive pay raise in the nex tacademic year .

The support staff, which includes

workers from secretarial areas ,food services, the library an dgames area as well as technicians ,janitors and researchers, wereasking for a seven per cent or $7 5per month increase retroactive toSept . 1, 1974 .

The strike's effectiveness wa slimited because some union an dseveral non-union library workersstayed on the job and kept thelibrary open throughout the strike .

Local chairman Pat Walsh saidlast week his union has become"militant of necessity . "Negotiations between the CSA anduniversity came to an impasse lastApril and the union has beenadhering to an arbitration boarddecision which grants _a semi -annual cost of living adjustment .

Walsh said the support staff i salways at the end of the breadline
