Partridge, Wilson - &

responsible

for misleading

Inaccuracies and other discrepancies with the truth in the university’s news release issued a t the time of Partridge’s ap- pointment can be traced back to Partridge, according to former information officer David Dunsmuir.

Questioned by the Martlet on apparent diversions from fact in the release, Dunsmuir said “the release was based entirely upon in- formation provided to me by Partridge during a visit to Victoria on the weekend before his appointment was announced”.

Dunsmuir added that he didn’t feel it necessary to check the statements out since they came from the presidentelect and were amended and approved by Partridge and former chancellor Wilson before release.

One of the statements in the release reads that Bruce Partridge “added the degrees of bachelor of laws and doctor of jurisprudence at Blackstone College, often commuting to Chicago while per- forming duties a t other universities”.

However, Blackstone vice-president Harms was reported by the Vancouver Sun as saying that he never saw Partridge a t any time, and that there is no reason for students to commute, since all work is done by mail. Harms sets the exams, and they too were mailed out, since Blackstone has no classroom facilities, but only a one room office in downtown Chicago.

The release was drafted on the basis of one conversation with Partridge, and amended and approved the next day by former chancellor Wilson and presidentelect Partridge. Several changes were made by the two men before release.

The lead sentence, which states “A leading academic ad- ministrator has been named president of the University of Vic- toria”, was among the changes, affirmed Dunsmuir. The changes occurred when Dunsmuir asked for clarification on “cloudy areas”. Partridge’s advice was incorporated into the final release, according to Dunsmuir.

The news release approved by Partridge also lists him as co- author of a publication entitled “College and University Business Administration” when in fact he was only one of many members of an editorial sub-committee revising the book, which had already been revised once before.

According to the news release, Partridge was appointed ad- ministratiye vice-president of John Hopkins University in 1964. Partridge however, was appointed Vice-President for Finance, according to the 1965 calendar he was first listed in.

“His (Partridge’s) qualifications are so oustanding that the final choice was relatively easy”, said Wilson who was Chancellor at that time. He also said the committee was pleased that so many distinguished academics let their names come forward for the presidency.

functions and salary of Walter Gage, president of’ UBC, and Partridge reveal that Gage

produces far more than he is paid, while Partridge, who earns a larger salary than Gage, does far less.

Gage earns approximately $37,000 for performing in three different job capacities a t UBC. He is Dean of Studknt Affairs.

All this saves UBC ap- proximately $50,000 per annum.

Partridge, on the other hand, earns approximately $40,000 a year, had a house built for him (as a matter of fact, an architect was sent from Victoria to Baltimore for the express pur- pose of measuring Partridge’s furniture so the house could be built to fit), pays no rent on it,

and in his short time here has managed to increase ad- ministration costs to the tune of over $100,000 a year through additions to his personal staff, and the staff of the Dean of Arts and Science.

Two years ago, before Par- tridge’s arrival, UVic had an acting president, Robert

Wallace, who also functioned as dean of administration.

Since Partridge’s arrival, he has added an administrative assistant, a secretary for the assistant, two vice-presidents with a third to come, an associate

dean of . Arts and Science, an assistant dean of Arts and Science, and has managed to eliminate only one position. That

was the office of dean of ad- ministration, which was eilminated by making it a vice- presidential position at a greater cost to the university.

During this time, the enrollment here has fallen and levelled off.

Meanwhile, at least one lec- turer, David McDougall of Hispanic and Italian Studies, has had his contract non-renewed because of financial restrictions. His salary was approximately $8,OOo and he is considered to be an outstanding lecturer.

A somewhat whimsical news release from the steering com- mittee reads as follows:

“In the face of the present inflationary pressure on the cash

position of the firm, (government grants) and with particular reference to the declining demand% for our product (degrees) coupled with an evident decrease in availability + +

of raw material (students), management has undertaken an extensive upgrading of the line staff and policy function per- sonnel.

“These measures will include an appropriate number of new senior administrative ap- pointments with a view to in- spiring greater confidence on the part of the community. It is expected that the community will, as usual, accept any firm action as evidence of substantial progress.”

Every year Frontier, a small Toronto-based organization, sends university students to remote areas of Canada where they work, and teach those of theeducationally underprivileged who want and need help. A spokesman from Frontier will be at UVic on Tuesday, March 2nd looking for volunteers. A meeting will be held at 12: 30 in fnrnnet 158 for anvone interested in helping.

Cop on Council A police officer, on call with the

Oak.Bay Police force, has been elected to a position on the Students Council.

The new Clubs Director, Dan McLeod. is an auxiliary police officer with the Oak Bay department.

McL,eod, elected by ac- clamation, said that he has “never made any secret” of the fact that he works for a local law enforcement agency.

There have been charges that McLeod’s occupation will create a “conflict of interest” with his position on Council.

He denied this, however, saying “When I’m off duty I don’t put myself in a position where a conflict of interest will arise.”

He said he felt that situations

which would force him toldecide whether to react as a policeman or as a student “can almost always be avoided.”

If he was “forced” into such a position, however, he said “there’s only one way I could react.”

McLeod said that he isn’t going to be looking “over people’s shoulders” a t council meetings and isn’t going to act “as an in- former”.

“Of course I can’t say how I’d react if I get pissed off at somebody.”

McLeod said he’s “in favour of legalized abortion .... and drug legalization”, but pointed out that “if you ask me as a policeman then I’m in favour of enforcing laws as they now are.”

Students won’t tolerate

a non-human approach “Students don’t want to be told

what to think, but how to think.” said Sidney Harris, a syndicated columnist from Chicago, to a capacity crowd in the SUB, Monday night.

Although they appear to be demanding freedoms which are being denied them, the exact opposite is true, he said. On the whole they are “bored. disgusted and disappointed with the false freedoms of most educational institutions.” Motivated by ‘Personalism’ (whi’ch is an at- titude of mind rather than a doctrine) they will “no longer tolerate a non-human approach to human problems” such. as the

present university system im- poses. Consequently the campus confrontations are real ly “existential revolts,” reflecting concern for the individual rather than for social and political forces.

This interpretation of current student unrest in Canada and the U S . was proposed by Harris in order to justify his conception of Lhe role of the university.

During his speech, Harris elaborated on what he meant by ‘Personalism’ and the false freedoms of the modern universities.

He categorically opposed what he called the “requirements and

Council furns down

defence motion by Dave Todd

A proposd by the AMS Steering Committee concerning the “UYic Twelve” was defeated at the Representative Assembly meeting, Sunday night, by an executive vote of three to two.

Norman Wright, representing the Steering Committee, asked the RA to adopt the position that one-year extensions be granted to all twelve faculty members whose status is in dispute.

Wright maintained that the Steering Committee’s proposal would give faculty, students, and administration a reprieve of one year in which the problems of tenure and promotioncould be re-examined. He also expressed the fear that the Administration would use its powers to delay procedures until students have gone for the summer.

“We want to make it clear to the student body that we are not dropping the issue,” he said.

Although CAUT has not made its investigative reports public, yet, it is widely assumed that those faculty members who asked for CAUT support will receive it. It is not expected that the Administration will commit itself to a written reply to CAUT until the end of February.

The Steering Committee was adamant that all twelve con- tracts be extended “without discrimination”.

Last Friday, Sheila Hogg, of the English Department, received a one-year extension of her contract, but this is itself a terminal extension, which merely postpones, but leaves un- changed, her status.

Critics of the motion to extend contracts maintained that the twelve faculty members should be considered individually, not as a group.

AMS President, Robert McDougall said he had argued against lumping the twelve together since the first Steering Committee meeting because all were “very different cases”, with reap- pointmenls being rejected at various administrative levels.

McDougall said that he had reservations about the “entire idea”. Concern, he said, rested mainly with what he considered to be a student-faculty alliance against the ,Administration.

‘.What right have the faculty to command our support over any other segment of the university?”, he asked. He went on to

formalities of attendance and attention”, saying that if a student’s temperament makes it easier for him to learn at home rather than at a lecture, his right not toattend classes should not be questioned. In the ideal university. proposed Harris. there would be a specific curriculum, but there would also be room for individual in - terpretation of it.

”Personal” and “individual”: these seem to be the key words of ideal education. contended Harris, and if students seek an “existential confrontation with the stuff and substance of their lives” the result would he an institution which would be ”;I

centre of independent thought, exhibiting its vitality by in- volving faculty and students in a continuing discussion of the most important subjects.”

Harris tossed around such themes as; therc is a ”shocking neglect of the educational process on American campuses”, “students want more individual attention“. “education is im- provement in the judgement of values”, “the end of education is free inquiry“ and “students do not want to be like their parents, smug, hypocritical and self- contradictory.”

He said it is crucial that universities do away with short- sighted administrators, un- pregressive professors and their outdated courses, and students who are just “along for the ride”

HALIFAX (CUP) - Following repeated demands from the faculty and students a t Nova Scotia Institute of Technology, administration president G. W. Holbrook handed in his resignation this week.

Heavy opposition to Holbrook developed after the dismissal of seven faculty members. The administration maintained they could not obtain enough funds from the provincial government to cover the salaries of the men and to grant pay increases to other faculty.

Holbrook was accused at a mass rally Feb. 2 of using the seven as a political ploy to obtain additional government grants.

Holbrook tendered his resignation to the Board of hvernors on both Feb. 1 and

Feb. 2, both times it was rejected. At a board meeting on Feb. 8, the resignation was accepted at Holbrook’s insistance.

The president’s resignation was followed the next day by that cf the Dean of Engineering, E.L. Holmes. Although he made no public explanation, he had an- nounced at a student rally that he would accept blame for the decision not to re-appoint the seven faculty members.

On Feb. 3, students staged a protest march to Province House to deliver a three-point brief to Premier Gerald Regan. The brief contained demands tor a change in the pre-engineering programs and the initiation of a four-year degree program in engineering. There has been no response as yet.

belief that if the Steering Committee recommendation was adopted by the RA and sent to the Board of Governors, the RA would identify itself as a “group of people”, not as an “in- dependent force”. He said that if a different proposal were presented, “they (the Administration) will respect us more for that.”

Wright was concerned that a plan such as hcDougall’s would fragment the cases of the twelve faculty into twelve separate issues, thus obscuring the principle involved, namely that of the Administration’s management policies.

Wright maintained that the Steering Committee proposal had to be adopted because “any kind of a solution is going to produce a confrontation on one or more cases.”

Academic Affairs Chairman Brian Greene called Mc- Dougalls’ plan a “scheme of great idealism.”

One member said, “We lost our chance to do anything after that mass meeting.”

A motion to allocate $350 to the Steering Committee for pur- poses of publishing information about the Tenure Document and related subjects was passed by a vote of four to one, pending Treasury approval.

In ‘other business, it was announced that the Senate had decided to cancel reading week next year. Instead, two reading days will be tacked on to a weekend in February.

The theme of the conference is “Drama Curriculum in the - m ~ Schools”, and the participants will be looking for new ways to develop continuity in drama education from one level to the next, said Miss Titerle.

Some of the featured guests are Dr. John Ripley from McGill University, Agnes Haaga from the University of Washington, and Victor . Mitchell from the University of Calgary, as well as UVic ’s Courtney.

The conference will run until noon Sunday. Registration is a t the Empress Hotel, as are most of the activities.

Enough is Enough It is becoming increasingly evident that Partridge is a

sick man. The illness could be diagnosed as pedaldon- terolisis (chronic putting of one’s foot in one’s mouth).

referred this week to the Faculty Association motion concerning senior lecturers a s “this silly Faculty Association resolution”. Faculty members will be pleased to learn that their recommendations a re viewed with such a sense of proportion.

Compare this comment of Partridge’s with his statements to the Rotary Club last June to the effect that “The role of a university administrator is not to force his will on others, but to press them to reach responsible conclusions themselves”. It seems incredible that Partridge would be so unconcerned over a serious motion by a responsible and duly constituted body. Perhaps what he meant to say to the Rotary Club would be along these lines of his facetious statement made to the Victoria Chamber of Commerce a year ago, when referring to people who disagree with him, he said, “I hold strong opinions personally on many subjects, so my first reaction is usually to wish the aculty member of student could be gagged. Then I ca f m down a bit and wish there were some way I could educate him so that he would have such sterling judgement as to agree com- pletely with me on the subject.”

Funnily enough, the Faculty Association resolution wa considered to be serious enough for the Board of G 2 ernors, to consider it at their last meeting and pass it on to Partridge (who passed it on to his Deans, who passed it on to department heads for advice) for action, at the same time failing for the second time to consider the student motions passed by 750 a t the first mass meeting. Since we gave the Board a 12 hour deadline, and its been about a month. I wonder what Partridge would have to say about those motions. Ridiculous maybe? Absurd?

Partridge should resign as president of this in- stitution. Better still, he should be fired un- ceremoniously. It’s simply not possible to have any kind of a university community when the leader of the institution does not act in’ good faith. Countless exam- ples have k n given of this lack of good faith over the last few months, and many more are yet to come. It’s about the time the students and faculty pulled together and voiced a strong condemnation of this man. We’ve already lost two years in our development.

Old Evasion

Trip Dear Sir:

Today we discovered politics as well as beauty is only skin deep.

At a Victoria Women’s Caucus pro abortion rally Provincial Liberal Leader Dr. Pat McGeer condescended to speak (seemingly for the opportunity to get his name and picture in the local media) with the group on the Legislature lawn.

His stand was not surprising - the old evasion trick of political ring around the rosey. Apologizing for supporting a cabinet minister, (the first oc- casion in his career) he wholeheartedly backed Health minister Loffmark’s recent stand on abortion. S-mingly therapeutic abortions ,are now available to all those who require them. While refusing to commit either himself or his party, he hoisted the entire issue over to the federal government (is this not his party? ). He declared his primary purpose as provincial leader was to replace the provincial government, not to promote social reform requested by “pressure groups”.

Today’s turnout was really as bad as the weather, (too many raindrops for too few people) but most of those attending seemed concerned with not only abortion reform, but also women’s liberation (that includes the eight men present). Try as they could there was no possibility of any definate comment, one way or the other, from McGeer. It is hoped; however, appointments can be made to discuss this and other issues with other MLA’s in their offices a t future dates.

We hope to see more and more enthusiastic support from con- cerned parties (that includes

women and men) at the next meeting of the Victoria Caucus on Friday, the 19th of February. It takes place in the SUB so one can even have a beer afterwards. Thanks.

One For Us

Dear Sir: I think you have done a fan-

tastic job with the Martlet - from first issue to last. It has become a first rate paper. This little university and this “wretched little town” ( J . Boulthee) needs to be brought from the 18th century into the twentieth century.

Your incisive analysis of Bruce Partridge’s actions is just what is needed by this student body. The student body is largely composed of overprotected students still firmly attached to their mum- my’s, apron strings - and the faculty encourages this. It makes for nice obedient kids.

Don’t let up. Keep opening their eyes.

Chauvinism

Dear Sir: If David Palmer A M 4, (your

issue of Feb. 11) is really con- cerned about President Par- tridge’s nationality and the need for having Canadian staff, then I would suggest he check the background of the Faculty members in the centre of the current controversy. And while he is at it, he might include the qualifications and nationalities of those with tenure who surface from t i e tu time to give comfort to the Martlet.

Daddy’s Boys

Dear Sir: Mr. Skillings, our honorable

MLA from Victoria happens to have too pretty little boys at- tending U Vic. About two weeks ago the Young New Democrats arranged for Mr. Dave Earrett to speak at UVic, and part of the advertising around campus to draw attention to Mr. Barrett’s visit was a poster made by the Young New Democrats with the words MARXIST AT LARGE at the top. Now, Mr. Skillings’ two little pretty darlings took a copy of this poster to daddy and daddy in turn turned up in parliament to use this poster against Mr. Barrett. He was going to “prove” that Mr. Barrett in fact was a marxist just like big boss WAC Bennett accused all the New Democrats of being in the last provincial election. Of course no one paid attention. Any in- -telligent person (although this may be a scarcity in some places) would naturally laugh a t this incompetent MLA with nothing better to do than accuse the leader of the opposition of bei ig a marxist merely because the members of the university NDP club tried hard to get the students of this bloody dead and apathetic university to come and listen to one of the most frank and reasonable politicians in this province. Bravo, M r . Skillings and bravo Skilling’s boysies. You really made fools out of yourselves again without even trying very hard.

The three million dollar farce A look at the Royal Commission on-the status of women

by Helen Melnyk

The report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women, costing 3 million dollars and 3 years of work, is being determinedly ignored and forgotten by the Canadian government.

A flurry of rave press reviews followed the in- troduction of the report of the Royal Commission into the House of Commons in November. As yet the government has shown no indication that it will act upon the recommendations of what has been called a potentially revolutionary document.

Unless some very vigorous action is taken soon, the report of the Royal Commission will quickly be pigeon- holed in a filing cabinet, said MP Grace McInnis.

The laxity of legislators to get a t the report is partly due to the fact that the minister in charge of it is Prime Minister Trudeau.

“Trudeau is of the opinion that if the report is ignored the agitation will quiet down - and if you give women an inch, they will take a mile”, said Mrs. McInnis.

A proposal by the Victoria Women’s Caucus to meet with MLAs to discuss the Royal Commission on the Status of Women was unfavourably received by Hunter Vogel. Whip of the Social Credit party. “The com- mission report is a concern of the federal government, not of the provincial one”, he claimed.

The principle of a common status for women and men as human beings, rather than a separate status for each sex, is the basic premise of the Report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women.

This has been interpreted by the commissioners to mean that the goal of Canadian society should be equality of opportunity for everyone. Men and women should have the same rights, the same freedoms,and share in the same responsibilties.

The report, containing 167 recommendations, examines women’s role in history and tradition, women’s place in the economy, the education they receive, their place in the family, aspects of taxation and implications of poverty for wcmen, their par- ticipation in political life, and the Criminal Code as it affects female offenders.

The Commission has adopted four underlying principles in formulating its recommendations:

women should be free to choose whether or not to . take employment outside their homes. the care of children is a responsibility to be shared by the mother, the father and by society society has a responsibility for women because of pregnancy and child-birth, and special treatment related to maternity will always be necessary in certain areas, women will, for an interim period, require special treatment to overcome the adverse effects of discriminatory practices.

The Commission emphasizes that it seeks no special status for women, but rather equal status with men.

“Despite rapidly changing circumstan6es, a rigid definition of woman lives on today,” states tne report.“Woman is identified, more or less exclusively, in terms of her relationships and functions as a wife and mother. Deprived of her individual identity, she is treated as a member of a standaridzed group.”

The concept of woman in Western society was shaped by three principal influences - Greek philosophy, Roman law. and Judeo-Christian theology - all of which relegate women to an inferior position to man, the lord and master.

In our culture women are expected to be emotional, dependent and gentle, and men, rational, independent and aggressive. These roles are regarded as part of the natural order of things. Yet these stereotypes are not supported by any scientific evidence, and are in fact contradicted by the real personalities of many men and women.

Three and a half million women are employed full- time in the care of their families and homes. Housewives frequently complain about their low status, lack of pay, lack of outside stimulation and long hours or work. The Commission believes that the financial dependency of housewives which results from ’ their production of goods and services without pay is largely responsible for the present status of women.

So vote for number 1 (or 2 or 31, and please be broad-minded.

Male and female stereotypes are taught to children explicitly and by example from the earliest childhood. The Standardized image of woman is perpetuated and exploited by the advertising of the mass media.

“Woman is presented as an object, defined as a superficial creature who thinks excessively of her appearance and can see herself mainly in terms of her attractiveness to men. Women are rarely associated with intelligence, sincerity, culture, originality or talent. They are depicted as elegant, beautiful, and young.”

By accepting society’s concepts, women belittle themselves, and have low expectations for their achievements, job opportunities and salaries. ,

The Commission has recommended major changes in the Canadian economy such as the initiation of a pension plan for housewives, maternity leave with pay for working women, revised methods of pay-setting in professions primarily known as “women’s jobs”, elimination of occupational sex-typing, removal of discriminations on sex and marital grounds, and special measures to advance women’s employment interests.

Two and a half million women are working for pay in Canada, comprising a.pproximately one-third pf the total labour force. They are generally employed in occupations labelled as female, earn less money than men and rarely reach the top. Women usually work in service and clerical occupations. In 1969, only 2.3. percent of all women workers were in managerial positions.

Women in the labor force are generally better educated than men, but their higher level of education is not reflected in their wages. In every occupational group, average earnings for men are considerably higher than for women. Wages are much higher in traditionally ‘male’ occupations, than in female ones.

Current legislature on equal pay is ineffective ac- cording to the Commission. A Dominion Bureau of Statistics study of 1961 indicates that women earn an average of 15 to 22 percent less per year than a man working under similar circumstances. At universities women professors earn an average of $2,000 a year less than men.

Women are restricted in their occupational choices by traditional beliefs of what jobs a woman is able or ought to do. Wages are lower for females than for males, because men are regarded as the bread- winners in our society.

To remedy this it is recommended that housewives be regarded as either self-employed workers or be credited a portion of the contributions now credited to the husband.

Major re-adjustments in society’s attitudes towards women in the family and marriage are essential, it is a woman’s natural aspirations for individual fulfillment and equality are to be realized states the commission report.

Full-time acceptance of the role of wife and mother relegates women to a life-time of almost total dependency. A wife is expected by society to adapt

much more to the married state than the husband. The status of a married woman is almost entirely deter- mined by the position of her husband, rather than the position she has made for herself. Her satisfactions are largely vicarious, dependent on her husband’s and children’s achievements.

The Commission recommends that the minimum age for marriage be raised to 18 years. Property and assets accumulated during marriage should be held in common by both husband and wife, even though only one spouse be employed outside the home. A wife who is financially able to do so should be legally held to support her husband and children, in the same way that the husband may now be held to support his wife and children.

At present, a wife is legally required to reside where her husband chooses. The Commission con- siders this an infringement on the rights and equality of a married woman, and recommends that a woman on marriage should be allowed to retain her domicile or acquire a new domicile independent of that of her husband.

Society has placed primary responsibility for the care of a child to the mother. If women is to have equal opportunities, fathers must share in the care of children and the community must supply aid also.

The Commission recommends the establishment of a network of day-care centres. These will benefit both parents and children. Research has indicated that sympathetic care of several adults may He more beneficial to a child than exclusive attachment to one. The undivided attention of a mother often results in over-protection and possessiveness.

Planned parenthood is strongly supported by the Commission. It is recommended that birth control information be available to everyone, non-therapeutic sterilization be performed a t the sole request of the patient and abortion be permitted on demand of any woman pregnant for 12 weeks or less. The Commission is convinced that Canada cannot

claim to be a true democracy with equal status for all, as long as government lies almost entirely in the hands of men.

Since the introduction of woman suffrage 50 years ago, the political activities of women has altered little beyond the exercise of the right to vote. Out of the 6,845 people elected to public office between 1917 and June 1970, only 67 of these have been women. There is only one woman today, out of the 264 members of the House of Commons.

Women are hindered from direct participation in politics bjr two obstacies: a reluctance on the part of male party officials to take a chance on admitting women when they are not convinced that women can do the job as well as a man, and a certain reluctance on the part of most established women’s organizations to abandon their position of non-partisanship in political affairs and to support qualified women for public of- fice.

I am critical of the A.M.S. film society. Their posters read. that ‘What Do You Say To A Naked Lady’ was scheduled to show at Elliot 167 at 2:00, the price being SOc for students.

This particular film was in- stead shown at MacLaurin 144. It started at 2:30, half an hour late. To see the film cost 75c instead of the 5Oc advertised.

Another film ‘Rashomon’, was advertised to run at 4:OO. The A.M.S. film society did not show it. Many people were disap- pointed.

The facts speak for themselves. The A.M.S. film society needs

Report on Women continued from page 5

School text books reinforce stereotypes of male and female according to the Commission. Elementary school readers present woman solely in the roles of wife and mother, thus ignoring her creative and in- tellectual potential. Males, on the other hand, are portrayed in a variety of activities and as adventurous and aggressive.

Even while still in school girls tend to have lower occupational expectations than boys. In the past many girls have been counselled in guidance programs to consider either marriage or a career, but not both. Thus it is essential that a girl receive an education and vocational counselling which will open a wide range or options to her.

The Commission urges that its recommendations be implemented immediately and that a commission be set up at federal and provincial levels to specifically deal with the protection of women’s rights.

In its summary the Commission admits the weaknesses of its recommendations to.bring about an equal status for women. At best it offers a legal patch- work solution to present injustices suffered by women. Publication of a report will not greatly alter deeply and stubbornly rooted prejudices.

True equal opportunity for both and women can only result from radical changes in the structure of Canada society. Discrimination of women is inherent in our society, based on a economy of profit and efficiency.

Since materialistic rather than humane interests prevale, it is in the interest of employers, manufac- turers and advertisers to retain the status quo of women. The establishment of day-care centres, paid maternity leave, equalizing women’s wages, etc. would cause them to lose time and money.

“Women, as they seek equality, must content with a society conceived and controlled by men. They will require a high degree of resolution to disregard present barriers and to attain the positions which best reflect their abilities.”

The concludingstatementof the report of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women is ironic, in view of the indifferent reaction of the Canadian government to its recommendations.

As Grace MacInnis has said it is now up to the women of Canada to put pressure on the government to insure that these recommendations are put into effect.

McGeer tai ks to pro-abortionists

Unobtrusive abortion rally disturbs nobody

Although many students feel that legalized abortions should be every woman’s right, general apathy and the rain kept the majority away from the Victoria Women’s Caucus demonstration held last Friday outside the Parliament buildings.

Only about 20 to 25 demon- strators of both sexes, made it to the soggy lawns to back their demands for the “removal of abortion from the criminal <ode”, and an easing of the financial burdens and red tape hassle of the current system. They also called for reserach into safe methods of birth control and demanded easy availability of birth control information and contraceptives to all women,

including High School students. The demonstrators honoured,

however, when Liberal leader Pat McGeer condescended to venture forth into the rain - protected only by his cashmere coat - and proceeded to talk his way into a picture for the next morning’s downtown paper.

McGeer conceded that although it was not his habit to side with. cabinet ministers, he felt compelled to agree with Health Minister Loffmark’s stand on the abortion-issue. After a short chat and several pictures, McGeer breezed away.

The rally ended as it had begun, unobtrusively; an4 most of the city was unaware that it had ever taken place.

Symposium on

nationalism planned The Academic Affairs Com- The projected date for the

mittee met last Thursday to plan symposium is for the week for an upcoming symposium. following Reading Week.

At first the topic of “Counter Culture” was planned upon but after some strong lobbying by the Creative Leisure Societv it was Sierra dropped. Next came thehuestion of what to replace it with.

Three topics were considered: Club fo Canadian Nationalism, Man and his Myth (Mysticism in Culture) and the Leisure Society. When 0 rg an ize the dust cleared from the fray two hours later, the topic of Canadian Nationalism had been decided upon.

Immediately the committee set to work on this train of thought. Many ideas cropped up and it was decided that the Symposium should centre around the following subtopics : Historical, ‘Cultural, Political, Economical, and lastly the question of whether or not the whole situation was Anti-Americanism or really Canadian Nafionalism.

Next on the agenda was the place at which the Symposium should be held. No decision was reached but it was the general consensus at the meeting that it should be held in Victoria so there wouldn’t be any transportation problems. Another important reason for this decision was the fact that the Academic Affairs Committee has only $1500 to spend on the Symposium.

Six members of the B. C.Sierra Club will be on campus Friday, February 19th to organize a Vancouver Island Chapter.

The Sierra Club was originally an American conservation club which now is active throughout North America. The parent organization publishes books, finances educational films, and works for environmental protection.

Establishment of an island group would bring the Canadian Organization closer to such areas of contention as Long Beach Park, Nitinat Triangle and Mt. Arrowsmith. Hopes are that a campus oriented club could work closely on these and other problems with Environment 100 and the UVic Biology Club.

Any interested persons should attend the ineeeting to be held in room 117 Lansdowne on Feb. 19, at 12:30.

Jampot to be institutionalized by A.M.S.

A request by the UVic Folk Music Club that the Alma Mater Society institutionalize the Jampot Coffee-House was referred to committee, Feb. loth, by the Students Council.

FMC President Tom Cuff, in a letter to council, recommended that the Jampot; currently being operated by his Club, be placed under the jurisdiction of the AMs Activities Council the next academic year.

“We feel the Jampot has grown to proportions which demand a more co-ordinated bperation, in terms of a larger staff, and greater access to capital; both of which, judging from the Jam- pot’s’ present growth rate, the FMC will not be able to handle properly in the future,” Cuff said in the letter.

Cuff pointed out the Jampot is an “excellent sounding board for local talent” and is a “gathering place for professional musicians from Vancouver, Victoria, and other parts of Vancouver Island.”

The Jampot, Cuff said, is “an obvious contribution to the university’s involvement with the community” -and , is the only coffee-house currently operating on a weekly basis on Vancouver Island. He also pointed out the Jampot’s potential for campus entertainment.

Eight recommendations were set‘ before the council in the letter.

The two major points were: -That the Executive Council of

the AMS take appropriate steps to have the Jampot Coffee-House

adopted as an institutionalized operation under the jurisdiction sf the Activities Council.

-That a special committee be formed within the Activities Council solely to operate the Jampot.

The other six recom- mendations outlined by Cuff were basically guidelines for operation of the Jampot.

Student Council President Robert McDougall suggested that the proposal in question, “being a complicated matter, shouldn’t be decided tonight.”

Publications Director Deryk Thompson was duly elected chairman of a committee to be organized to deal with the matter.

Students demand Little late Canadian influence Brother

HAMILTON (CUP) - Political science students at McMaster University are demanding that more emphasis be placed on Canadian studies and that Canadians. be hired to. teach Canadian content courses.

An impromptu meeting Friday (Feb. 5) followed a faculty decision to change a proposed Canadian foreign policy course to one in international politics.

A Monday meeting of more than 400 graduate and un- dergraduate students decided to postpone any action decision on the issue until Thursday when the department has agreed to hold a meeting to reconsider the course change motion.

Students feel that the course change from Canadian to in- ternational emphasis would only make it easier for the department to hire another non-Canadian faculty member.

Department chairman, Dr. Howard ‘Lentner, an American, refused to budge from his position of opposition to student plans for a reconsideration of the motion.

The self-admitted American nationalist said the change was made because the Canadian foreign policy course was “too restrictive for hiring purposes”. Of the 18 teaching faculty members, 13 are Americans. 11 of the PhD’s of the department are non-Canadian.

Lentner did however agree to entertain a motion -to give students a vote on the depart- mental committee responsible for hiring.

American professor Dr. K. H. Pringsheim, at McMaster since 1966 charged that the “depart- mental mafia” is ignoring the Canadian academic scene and opting in favor of Americans.

“The Canadian is nigger in his own country”, he said, “Even before a recommendation about hiring was made, the department decided against three Canadian candidates for the original

foreign policy course. To abolish the course before even con sidering the applicants, sounds like corruption to me.”

As an attempt at amelioration without losing face, Dr. Lentner announced that a fourth can- didate, also Canadian would be interviewed and asserted that the three original Canadian can- didates were still being con- sidered to teach the international politics course with Canadian emphasis.

Cabinet Ministers in British Columbia’s Socred government are evidently trying to prove they are aware of current affairs in campus student government.

In a letter to Student Council President Robert McDougall written early this February, Minister of Education Donald Brothers congratulated him on his “recent election as President of the Alma Mater Society.”

McDougall, the outgoing president, was elected last year.

Help yourself:

-help suve the environment

Transformation: from this ...

from some of the people at Environment 100

As a result of the transportation survey carried out by the Environmental Action Group last term, it was learned that 69.7 persent of the hitchhikers at UVic found if easy to get rides, 20.4 percent said it was not easy to get rides and 9.9 percent had mixed reactions to the question.

Approximately 70 percent of the students tested bring cars on campus,While the other 30 percent arrive either by bus, cycling, hitchhiking, or walking. 47 percent always drive - 23 percent sometimes do.

If the students who drive could re-evaluate their attitudes towards driving, in light of the demand for more land and the problems that could result from the pollution of the atmosphere, a more favourable ratio of vehicles to students could be reached at UVic.

At the present time, destination signs and stopping zones are to be erected on Ring Road. Hitch-hikers could gather at these points according to their destinations.

The number of cars leaving the campus are more than suf- ficient to accommodate these hitch-hikers, if the drivers are willing to cooperate. At present, 77.5 percent of drivers pick up hitch-hikers all the time, 5 percent some of the time, and 17.5 percent not at all. We can only suggest that if more of the 17.5 percent were willing to pick these hitch-hikers up, and possibly a number of the drivers who presently bring vehicles on campus were to hitch themselves, the need for expanding the present parking facilities would be eliminated.

Land use on campus could then be used to much more aesthetic construction.

You might even get to meet some interesting people by picking up hitchers, and use those cars to better advantage for the cost involved of operating them and parking them.

As Eldridge Clever said “if you are not a part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem”

We feel the problem has become one which all of us share. Will you help in its solution? We do not need more parking

What we will get will be what we deserve. space; we need a park.

THE NECESSITY O F CAR POOLS Of the six air pollutants classified by the World Health

Organization as the most dangerous to human health, five, namely particulate matter, carbon monoxide, oxidants, nitrogen oxides and lead are emitted into the air by automobiles. In fact, automobiles contribute up to 60 percent of North America’s air pollution. Thus far, it has generally been assumed that it is within the

rights of the individual to drive a machine that harms o t h p by polluting the air they breathe. However attractive it is in its convenience, it is an assumption that deserves to go out along

with the assumption that the automobile needs the combustion engine. The justification for the first assumption rests on yet another assumption, namely that cars are a necessity. If the automobile is a necessity, it is a classic example of willing wants into needs.

The pernicious manifestations of the automobile can be mitigated somewhat by a more efficient use.of the automobile, as through car pols.

Car pools can be - and often are -. inconvenient, but en- vironmental degradation can bring about fatality, the ultimate inconvenience to those who wish to remain alive. The uprooting of trees to make room for asphalt and concrete is a convenient form of environmental degradation that is all too indicative of modern man’s placement of values.

Of those who completed the Transportation Survey, 29 percent indicated that if a car pool were available they would join one.

The Environmental Action Group proposes the following courseof action for the fall semester. At registration a booth will be set up for all those who would like to form or join a car pool. Their .addresses will be plotted on a map. Other information, such as whether they are potential drivers or riders will be listed along with their names, addresses, and phone numbers. Hopefully, by the first week of classes this list, along with the map, will be available in the SUB.

The objective is a comprehensive car pool system that can help check the encroachment of parking lots onto the remaining green areas on campus by limiting the number of vehicles coming on campus.

According to the results of the recent survey conducted by the Environmental Action Group, slightly over half (53 percent) of the students at UVic live near a convenient bus route. Those who are presently using the bus are about evenly divided as to whether the present bus schedule is suitable. Only 23 percent of the students for whom the bus is convenient actually use the bus.

The other 77 percent of the students, who theoretically could use the bus, cited several reasons for not using it: the fares are too high, the bus ride consumes too much time, and a car is

until finally ... this

more convenient. Asked if they would, take the bus if the fares were reduced, about 70 percent of those near a bus route, but not already using it, replied that they would take the bus. A reduction in fares now seems totally unlikely, as the B. C. Hydro board of directors is meeting on February 22 to consider an increase in fares as a result of the recent wage settlement. . Perhaps a bus system for students financed by student fares and the AMS would be a solution to current bus transportation problems. Conceivably two or three buses could be operative during peak rush hours in the morning and late afternoon.

In our affluent society today most people have access to or have their own car. Sure, it is the fastest means of tran- sportation available to the average person, but it is also one of the fastest ways of destroying the environment - either by the soads required, parking lots required or air pollution caused.

Each of us should stop and think - “Do I really need to take the car?” “Is the time saved worth the loss created in the en- vironment?”

When you drive a car you affect everybody else’s world - you are not alone.

Think of others, sometimes. If driving, pick-up hitch-hikers --) you are polluting their -vorld too.

If people cannot adapt to the attitude of consideration of other life, then rules have to be imposed. Ugh! For exampie - an increased parking fee in cities or on campus might stimulate people enough to group together into car pools or walk or bike etc. People comprehend money the easiest!

Those who travel a distance to city or campus need tran- sportation one canjustify theiruse of cars, however, they should attempt to fill those cars with passengers. Here, incorporation ef a rapid transit system would be more beneficial to the en- vironment than expansion of 4-lane highways. Money spent on

I highway construction and maintenance should be used to subsudize the fares. The, travellers would have to realize their contributions are worth the environmental desecration prevented by use of such a system.

People must begin to realize thata “nice” environment with trees, birds, wild grass, and Space will cost.- it may cost in dollars or it may cost in freedom.

Do you want Vancouver Island to become like L.A. county? To drive a car is a privilege - do not abuse it !

develapments? In recent months, we have witnessed the initiation of yet more

“progressive developments’’ on campus. . Reference is made not to the Clearihue extension, but to the

unnecessary cutting and removal of mature Douglas fir, behind the new Biology Building, as well as the gravelling of the resultant cleared space, preceeding the asphalting of this area for parking lot development.

Do we need new parking lots~on campus while the MacLaurin, Elliott, and lower college lots remain unused?

Survey results indicate that 82.25 ‘percent of car drivers questioned felt that we had nu, need for new lots, while 17.75 percent were in opposition to’this opinion.

It was found that of those who drove vehicles to UVic, 15.32 percent drove on campus with full vehicles, while b4.68 percent drove vehicles which were le$s than full.

In regards to regular passengers, 35.28 percent carried regular commuters, while 64.72 percent did not.

This gives a clear indication that the parking spaces, presently being used, support only, one or two students per lot father than a larger number. ,At the present rate of university population growth, larger and larger tracts of land presently supporting forests and fields, Will have to be cleared for future

’ parking lot development, if the present usage rate of one or two students per vehicle is to be maintained.

The feasability of multi-levelled parking complexes has been ruled “uneconomical” by campus buildings and grounds superintendant, George Apps,

It has been suggested that *e are of land between Gordon Head Rd. and the Ring Road b& turned into a people’s park. This

prospect however, seems unlikely if the administration, facults and students at UVic are not willing to compromise their rigid . set of “personal rights” (such as the “right”, rather than privilege of driving vehicles on campus), for the benefit of others as well as themselves’. When asked if they were willing to cooperate in preventing the. establishment ofemore parking lots on campus, of all those questioned, 57 percent said yes, 29 Percent said no and 19 percent showed no interest either way.

bikers on campus The survey “discovered” that there are 316 bikers on campus

(it polled ‘/4 of the student body). For 30 percent of them their bike was their only method of transportation and on the average

. they cover 3 miles getting to UVic. Most cyclists had beefs about the facilities on campus and the. recent boom in cycling has definitely caught campus planners unprepared. They seem to be waiting for the trend to reverse. Well it hasn’t reversed and shows every sign of increasing next year.

The Action Group has taken the’ three most common com- plaints to the Campus Planning Committee. These are: 1( that mgre bike-racks be made and placed around the MacLaurin ’and Elliot buildings. .2( that these new racks ‘have shelters and eye- bolts for locking bikes, to and thatsthe distance between slots be increased by several inches. 3( that curbs on-paths of heavy cycle traffic be cut down e.g. around the SUB, all paths crossing ring road.

get a bike At this time more bike racks are on order according to

Building and Grounds officials but they haven’t said how many and the design for them has not been settled. The other com- plaints will be discussed a t the next Campus Planning meeting.

O.K., solet’s talk about the car driver who lives within 3 miles of UVic. Is that you? Have you ever thought+seriously of cycling to UVic. It makes sense money-wise. The average driver spends $2.50 a week on gas, then of course there’s insurance, repairs, maintainance, etc. whereaas your only expense in cycling in the initial purchase cost from $10 for a second-hand basic to $220 for a lo-speed European racer. On campus your bike is more handy than a car because it goes anywhere and can park anywhere. You benefit physically from cycling and those that already do it say it puts their, heads in a good space too. But of course the biggest .reason for your switching to cycling is that it is a noiseless, absolutely pollutionrfree transportation that would help prevent the further paving of UVic’s wilds. Think about it ..... and start cycling!

Skelton’s poe’try - “more or l e s s amiable”

Guiness as though it- were rationed in Canada-he is Professor of English a t the University of Victoria B.C. Skelton went there to teach summer school in 1962 and emigrated permanently from Manchester a year later. At Manchester Mr. Skelton’s poetry was viewed as a more or less amiable, if slightly disreputable, weakness; in Canada, confides Skelton, the natives buy, read and listen to a lot of poetry, they give you the job of being a poet. It was too an amalgam of poverty, bronchitis and a spirtual im- petuousness unsuited to the delicacy of English academic life which took him across the Atlantic.

“In any case,” he said, “I like to be in at the beginning of things and find it much easier to work in a new place than in one filled with traditions. If you ask me the difference between CaRada and England it is that in England, if you want to do something new, people say that it hasn’t been done before, so better not risk it, while in Canada they have never done anything before and are

-

’ willing to try.”

Skelton is 45 and wrote his first poem when he was eight. He still has the manuscript. There is a

born in Easington, Yorkshire, and went to Lees University where he edited the first an- thology of student writing to appear outside Oxbridge. In Manchester he founded, with Tony Connor and Michael Snow, the Peterloo Group, and then the Manchester ICA for which he wrote a constitution.

The information is supplied with a jocular verbosity in- terrupted only for trips to the bar, the “gents,” and the telephone - Mr. Skelton is awaiting the arrival of friends from Paris France. Between times there are a few assertions to be made about the state of English literature and the state of Robin Skelton who is, as he says, “a great believer in. not waiting for the spark from heaven to fall.”

Indeed our poet enjoys a rumbustious progress with his muse, immortalised in a fashion quite unbecoming a man of let- ters as:

“Expensive and expendable as any appetite, the bell push nipples jut out

the naked arms hold tight; the syllabling of thighs cries

till the great verb appald.

Full nafive Indian

course not allowed TORONTO (CIJP) - The an-

thropology section of the sociology department at York University has rejected a request by a professor to teach a full-year course next year on con- temporary Canadian Indians.

Roma Standefer says she is only being allowed to teach a half-year course which in her opinion places the study of Canadian Indians on the same level as studies of Asian and African cultures. (There are half- year courses on these topics.)

Standefer feels there is a need for more Canadian content in the sociology department .and is upset that she is not being atlowed to teach a full course.

‘‘I am willing to teach this course. and I am not being allowed to,” she said.

“I offered to teach it as an extra load. I thought it was 50 important that I was willing to teach three full courses.” (She is required by the department to teach two ana a half.)

“There is so much material you cquld sit and read two years and not read everything. Lack of material is not a problem.”

Gustav Thaiss, who CO- ordinates the seven-person an- thropology section in the department, said the section was not yet sure it wanted to major in Canadian studies and was

presently developing a “basic program” before specializing.

He said the section wanted to be careful “not to go overboard to become completely Canadian studies program.”

Standefer, he said, was reacting to “the emotionalism of Canadian content.”

A half-year course is being offered next year on “North American Indians,” he said, which would include some material on Canadian Indians.

Other universities in Ontario ‘have Canadian studies programs so there is no real need to develop one at York, he added.

“We felt there is already enough being done on the Canadian Indian. Other universities are doing a good job.”

Thaiss also argued that Standefer is now teaching a course on anthropology and development that deals with Indians and claims two courses would be “essentially the same.”

Standefer claims this is untrue and she is spending only three weeks on Canadian Indians in her present course.

“I feel that students at York who are interested in Canadian Indian people should have an opportunity to take a course that specifically focuses on Canadian Indians.” she said.

Erato is enrolled as the prostitute in Sk’elton’s “Second Ballad of the Muse.” It is a fitful joke at the poet’s expense but one which he can afford since she was not been tight with her favours during the past 20 years. As he says: “There is hardly a day in my life when I am not working at poetry.” Thereare 17 books of the stuff to prove his point. Then there are the five books written this year and two biographies, five critical works, seven an- thologies, three books for children, six editions and three symposia already published. He is also general editor of the Oxford “Works of J . M. Synge,” co-editor of Canada’s in- ternational “Malahat Review”, director of a Canadian art gallery and a father. Theodore Roethke simply observed the man’s “enormous psychic energy.”

Skelton thinks of himself as a poet and a teacher. His “Selected Poems” was published in Canada in 1968 and arrived here a year later. Literary editors don’t like to appear 12 months behind the times and the reviews were sparse. There is a new book from Deutsch ready for January, In spite of his desire to break new ground Skelton remains a fairly conventional poet, consolatory in tone. His subject is twentieth-- century man and his problems - the bomb, children, a sense of identity, old age. From “Poem for His Thirty-fifth Birthday” :

“Not much to record. And what’s ahead?

Poems till I drop, and words, words,

words. It’s my trade. The black keys clicking the tragic and the absurd.”

But it is true that Skelton avoids falling for the easy so1ecism;he skirts the mundanity of modern living in search of reasons and causes. It is a balanced clarity, a lack of pretension, which brings him success. It is one thing writing 17 volumes of poetry, another having them published.

He says: “I think it very necessary for every man to find a value system and I don’t think it is now simply a matter of adopting one which already exists. The simple recording of life, while it may have some therapeutic value, doesn’t strpke- me as being the higheSt kind of poetry, and I suppose that I’ve had the nerve, or simply the compulsion, to aim a t major poetry - every now and then anyway. ”

His major poems? “Well, that’s a sticky one. I suppose that ‘The Dark Window’ would have to be a candidate and I’ve just com- pleted a sequence on my travels round Europe. But a major poem is really that which works for a lot of people and which has a certain’scale. .Now I know about the scale, but I don’t know about the other people.’’

Movie a review

Brewster McCloud ’black humour’ Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer (with the inevitable lion) a most

amazing mixed up - marvelous - movie - collage - experience, called ‘Brewster.McCloud’ now showing a t the Capital Theater. First of all the Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer lion forgets his line. This starts the film off to a running -racing -flying -far out start. It is a parable of put ons and parodies.

A bizare professor of ornithology gives a lecture on birds and a lesson to man as the . movie moves through a series of satiric colage sequences and take offs. As well as a modern slow motion version of a Keystone Kops car chase there is some fast flying scatalogical humour (birdshit? - Bullshit! )

Meanwhile a young boy, Brewster McCloud, is trying to build a pair of wings in the fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome so that he can fly. Brewster’s muse is an angelic blonde (with the wings removed) who tells him that although mankind has always aspired to the freedom of the sky, love and sexual pleasure has always kept, him earthbound.

The professor gives a description of the courting habits of a certain species of bird while we see a couple making out in the back seat of a limosine; (the negro chauffer has gotten out of the car slammed the door and muttered a few nonpleasantires) all of which combines to make a Desmond Morris (Naked Ape)

A police lieutenant, who is a fairly good take off on Steve McQueen in ‘Bullet’, battles the local politicians in search of a strangler with even a superb slow motion police pursuit (catch the Gremlin’s licence number).

Brewster’s wings are, I suppose, a metaphore for the eternal and universal aesthetic aspirations of all men but the rest of the movie is a statement as to where mankind is heading at supersonic speed and it is not delicately put. It craps in your eye and then rises above it’s own banal humour to allow you to see a little clearer. Robert Altman of ‘M.A.S.H.’ directed this film and his sinister sense of humour is very evident. It is a kind of black humour treatment of a Walt Disney theme. It is one of the most underadvertised movies in town but not one to be under estimated. Although the pace drags a bit (see the movie to see the pun) and at times it does not quite skirt being crude and ridiculous I am sure you’ll ‘get off’ on it but like Brewster, where will you go. If your girl friend has very delicate sensibilities drop her off a t ‘Love Story’ and let her weep through it for a third time then pick her up afterwards.

There is a surfing short with ‘Brewster’ for all you old ‘ho daddies’ who still hang ten and it is unusual in that it has no smarmy narrative. It does, however, tend to over do pretty but passe camera tricks. There is also a ‘Pink Panther’ cartoon that would horrify the conservationists -he is a lumber-jack.

history

of rugby Everyone knows that

rugby is an ancient and tradition laden sport, but what many ‘people fail to realize is that the famous post-game tea parties are just as time honoured.

And often, today, the party is engaged in with more enthusiasm than finesse; witness the rugby fiasco in the SUB a week ago Saturday.

Howard Gerwing, president of the UVic Rugby Club, says the tea party, or “third half” had its origins in rugby’s upper middle class beginnings.

The purpose was to have a post-game drink with a player’s opposite number, in order to “find out about him as a man, not just a com- petitor.”

The tradition was a difficult one to keep going at first, and of- ficials usually insisted that all players attend.

Tea has mostly been replaced by beer now, he said, and players don’t need any coaxing to get them to attend the bashes.

R u g b y i t s e l f developed long before tea had been ever heard of in England.

A form of the sport was once played by Egyptian soldiers. The object of the.game was simply for one team to gain possession of a trophy and then attempt to keep it.

The Greek and the Roman troops played similar, blood-thirsty, versions of the game.

The officers liked the sport mostly because it kept the men busy and fit.

Rugger buggers: act two by Brock Ketcham

The UVic Rugby Club has been barred from having any functions in the SUB on nights when other functions have been booked.

This action was taken almost unanimously by Executive Council members, at a Student Council meeting Feb. 10, as a result of disturbances occurring at the Rugby Club’s “Tea Party” the previous Saturday night.

The “tea party” was thrown in the SUB to entertain two rugby teams from Oregon State University who had lost both games against UVic earlier in the day.

While the rugby party was going on in the upper lounge, the Jampot coffee-house was in operation downstairs. Vice- President of the Uvic Folk Music Club, Shirley Thompson, sent a letter to council complaining of interruptions caused by rugby players during coffee-house performances.

SUB Manager Bryan Clark, also present at the council meeting, sent a letter to council which outlined damages and disturbances which occurred a t the “tea party”.

In his letter, Clark noted most of the disturbance appeared to be caused by members of the visiting rugby teams and that members of the Uvic club attempted to maintain some’sem- blance of order. He added that these efforts by the Uvic club were not entirely successful.

Among other incidents, a car was driven into the SUB upper lounge and a t least two male strip-tease acts were performed for the rugby boys.

“In light of the foregoing,” Clark’s letter concluded, “It seems clear that the spirit to the conditions set out by the Executive Council for these bookings has been breached.”

The letter from Shirley Thompson informed council that “ ... many people didn’t come (to the Jampot) Saturday night, having been discouraged by the sight of people being sick on the SUB lawn.” “As we have no bouncers as such, I personally take care of the

matter of turning undesirable people away a t the door ...” Miss Thompson said in her letter. “On Saturday night, I had to ask no less than 14 people, all

male, who were carrying bottles of beer, to leave. “At various points throughout the evening, there was an

undue amount of foot-stomping from upstairs which at times became so loud that in spite of our P.A. system, we couldn’t hear our performer.

“This was extremely annoying for audience and performer. “After the P.A. sys em had been broken upstairs, the Rugby

Club decided to com J down and take ours. Luckily, they were dissuaded from this course of action.

“Two members of Uvic’s club came into the SUB cafeteria and started to take the juke box out.

“This occurred in the middle of a performer’s set and when I asked them to wait for ten minutes until the break, they simply pushed past me.

“Once they got out into the hallway, they shouted derogatory

comments at me and when they later discovered they couldn’t take the juke box upstairs, they brought it back into the cafeteria, again in the middle of a set ...

“Personally it upsets me to think that such a fiasco could take place ir, the SUB with events that got more and more bizarre a s the evening wore on. No one seemed to be able to stop or even control it.

“It cannot be estimated how much irreparable damage to the Jampot has been caused by the Rugby Club,” she wrote in the letter.

President of the Uvic Rugby Club Howard Gerwing was present at the council meeting to say a few words in defence of the Uvic rugger players.

Gerwing prefaced his remarks by stating the Uvic Rugby Club has had trouble in the past when entertaining outside clubs.

“One of the Oregon players threw a beer bottle at the SUB,” Gerwing said.

*‘I ran after him and asked him why he did it. He didn’t seem to have an answer. “However, he’d just lost a rugby game and . . . He hadn’t had any luck picking up a girl so was upset. He was quite a bruiser,” he said..

Gerwing explained to council why certain rugby players found it necessary to drive a car into the S.U.B.

“They drove the sports car in to turn the car radio on. “The ‘driver said he was just trying to provide music for the

occasion. The record players and amplifier were not working properly,” Gerwing said.

“The Oregon boys are by nature a robust bunch. There were probably a few who felt they were going to tear the place apart.

“The whole thing ended fairly quietly. Five or six guys in the Uvic Rugby Club stayed behind to clean up.

“At least we managed to entertain our visitors,” he said. “You’ve missed the whole essence of this discussion. What‘s

important is that the Jampot was disturbed,” Clubs Council Director Tom Newell told Gerwing.

“I think we really tried not to disturb the Jampot,” Gerwing replied.

“The truth is, you felt the Rugby party wasn’t going too well and so you went and spoiled the Jampot session,” Newell retorted.

Clark informed council that the Rugby Club has “certain traditions”.

“And one is this so-called “tea-party”, Clark said. “It’s not one of the season’s most genteel gracious kinds of

“Because of the nature that they are, it’s very difficult for events.

them to coexist with anything else,” Clark said.

Newell reminded council that he had argued to allow the Rugby Club to have a booking in the SUB along with the Jampot provided there was no disturbance.

“.They were given the chance to prove themselves and they didn’t.’’ he said.

over medieval Europe. It was often played

between the male populations of entire vil lages; including horse men, as well as players on foot.

The object of this form of rugby was to get the trophy back to the village, where it would be kept for the year.

As the years proceeded the playing area was gradually lessened, until the game was restricted to one field.

By the mid nineteenth

century the British, p a r l i a m e n t w a s threatening to ban “football”, unless the game was standardized, because of the high number of deaths and injuries occuring.

In 1860 soccer was organized, and the use of fists was banned in that game.

Rugby players were cynical about soccer.

Because of the threatened government ban rugby finally organized the “Rugby Union”, in 1870. The rules were standardized and devpped by Rugby School’.

-The founding mem- bers of the Rugby Union w e r e E n g l a n d , Scotland, Wales, and France.

The sport was brought to Canada by im- m i g r a n t s , a n d prospered until 1914 - a black year for Canadian

rugby - when the Canadian Rugby Union was disbanded, and all the teams turned to playing “Canadian football”

McGill, Toronto and UBC, were the only Universities keeping the sport alive. Rugby in Canada remained on it’s knees for a long time, but finally, in 1968, it struggled back to its feet.

Just four years ago

game is used mainly a s a training device for other sports.

Some of the best teams in the world are South African blacks whose government won’t allow them to play in international com- petition.

UVic has always had good teams and has performed at a senior level in the last four years.

In 1969 the UVic team the Canadian Rugby went on a tour of Union was reformed. E n g l a n d p l a y i n g

Today there are more against six top British clubs, both school and teams. university, than ever Although UVic won before in this country’s only two of the six history, and every year new clubs are being formed and are joining the Union.

Although it was kicked out of the Olympics in 1924 rugby has become in- creasingly popular throughout the world. Rugby Union football is now played in 60 countries, the most powerful being New Zealand, South Africa, France , England , Scotland, Wales, Fiji, Japan, and the United States.

Soviet Union have rugby teams although the

Rumania and the’

games, they put up a good show and were highly praised by British fans and of- ficials for their a g g r e s s i v e a n d determined style of play.

A combined$ UVic and UBC team has been considered for a future world tour, possibly beginning in May of 1972.

In any case, this game described by Howard Gerwing as an “ancient and honourable sport’’ has a .long way to go, before holding tea parties in the S.U.B., in the future. ,

Executive Council and R.A., plus a couple of spirited Martlet staffers, were soundly beaten a t Volleyball, (9-15, 6-15, 11-15), by a very tough Administration team Tuesday, February 6th.

The Exec. Council kiddies began to click during the fourth game which they won 15-11.

The Admins. were definitely being worn down by this time but it is evident that next years Council will have to go some to beat them when next year’s match rolls around.

The Men’s Volleyball League ended with the championship going to favored Faculty Flip- Outs over the Crushers from Lansdowne College.

The winners - Dr. Don Knowles, Dr. Bob Bell, Mr. Bruce Howe, Mr. Kent Andrews, Dr. Martin Collis, Mr. Don Smythe, Mr. Gerry Carr, and Mr. David Docherty - overcame what was definitely a great handicap - namely the unbelievable inac- curacy of Bob Bell’s hitting.

That weak spot was well covered with some brilliant

manouvering by the other team members, noteably Dr. Collis who seemed to have some dif- ficulty staying on his feet as a result.

However, beside Coach Bobby, he looked like an Olympic champ.

The Flip-Outs finished the league undefeated.

It was a good effort by some of the oldies, (but goldies), of our faculty. The order of finish for the league was as follows: 1. Faculty Flip-Outs. 2. Crushers. 3. Wilks Lamda Society. 4. Pits. 5. Gonads and 149ers - tie. 7. Sake and Economics - tie. 9. Hot Shots.

It is noteworthy, that certain groups on campus have been active participants in several of the Intramural Leagues, and have contributed greatly to the spirit which is part of In- tramurals.

Units from Economics, 2nd year P.E., Craigdarroch, and Lansdowne Colleges, Psych Dept., and P.E. Faculty, to name a few, have all k e n enthusiastic competitors in the past.

Rugger fearns win fwo south of the border

Uvic Vikings claimed another shut-out Saturday, slipping by Western Washington State Vikings 3-0. This was Vikings fourth straight win in as many starts.

Muddy field conditions were the controlling factor in the match.

Running was impossible for both teams, as there was no footing in the five inches of mud covering most of the field.

Ken Wilke scored the only points in the game near the end of the first half.

On an eighm man pickup Wilke broke down the side for a hard earned try.

Keeping in the Vikings footsteps, the.Norsemen, also un- defeated in intercollegiate league play, ‘rumbled over Washington’s second’team 14-0.

Scoring for the Norsemen were Doug Pettman, who kicked three penalty goals and a convert.

Paul Carnes scqred the only try of the game for Uvic, in the last half.

Norsemen have a faultless record of three wins, two by shut- outs.

Back on home fields, Uvic Saxons were tripped up in their, drive for a playoff spot by Castaways, who took the match 6-3.

Saxons took an early 3-0 lead, with a try from Doug Manning. Castaways were held for only a short time, before Victor Horton made a fine play to tie the game at 3-3.

The second half developed into a tough defensive game, with Saxons faulting once to allow Castaways to take the lead 6-3 with a try by Pavi Kristjan.

The Saxons remained persistant until the final whistle keeping the ball in Castaways end for most of the second half.

Doug Manning, Mark Fellman and Tony MacDonald put forth strong performances for the Saxons.

Puck Viks Impressive

Last Friday night the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds overpowered the last place University of ‘Victoria Vikings.

The ‘Birds’, currently in a tight battle with the University of Manitoba Bisons, showed why they are in contention for the league title and the Vikings are not.

The more experienced UBC hockey team started playing hockey from the opening face-off and ended up with a 9-0 victory.

Tom Williamson scored three goals for the Thunderbirds and added to his point total in the scoring race.

Saturday was certainly a different story for the Vikings as they came close to upsetting the league leading UBC Thun- derbirds.

The Vikings lost 3-2 but with this performance a lot of people have gained confidence in the Vikings.

Not necessarily at Uvic , but the rest of the league players and coaches realize that on any given day the University of Victoria team are most certainly not pushovers.

Norm Park, Doug Buchan and Bob MacAneeley, the league’s leading scorer, were UBC’s scorers.

George Walton and Bill Gidden replied for the Vikings.

All the team played very well and provided a warning to the rest of the league that Victoria is improving with every minute on the ice and next year will be a very good year indeed!

Creation II a review

by Anni Louie Creation 11, directed by Lqwis

Capson, is a Christian Company fram Toronto that performed a t UVic last week.

Anyone who did not attend one of their variety of performances missed a jolt into his smug reality.

The Christian (not religious) plays were written mainly by Lewis Capson, of UVic Through twenty months of rehearsals and improvs, the five different plays succeeded in attaining the desired effect.

That effect can be described only as an inexplicable dangling emotion. Virtually everyone in the audiences leaves in a state of not knowing where he’s a t any more.

The acting could be improved; some lines could be polished. As advertised, the plays were “sexy, pervertecfand violent.” Combine them and the result is “gutsy”.

There is no stage. There is an economy of props. The play extends to the walls of the room with the cast and audience gradually merging to become one.

The constant mobility and heavy innuendoes, with the OC- casional chuckle are dramatic events. Truth is thrust into your guts and yoli carry this outside the confines of the performance.

Is Lewis the creator? Are we, the audience, meant to be his disciples? Ask Louis. YOU just might get a parable.

OUR APOLOG.IES AM.S. FILMS WISHES TO APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED BY THE

RECENT CONFLICT IN ADVERTISING FOR PUTNEY SWOPE AND NAKED LADY THE 'REASONS WERE AS FOLLOWS

The Registrar's office informed us that we would be unable to use MacLaurin 144 for these films and thus it was thought best to run two single features, one each .day, in the Elliot Theatres as it would be unfair to our customers to screen a double feature in these theatres as there was not sufficient capacity for the anticipated attendance and many would be disappointed, also, since the viewing conditions in these theatres are inferior to those in MacLaurin this would not warrant the admission charges necessary to break even on the f i lm rental charges.

However, early Saturday morning we discovered that the MacLaurin Theatre was not in use and we decided to return to this theatre so as to offer the best facilities possible. At this t ime we also reinstated the previously advertised double feature as most of our customers were expecting this. Thus, it was only those who had anticipated a 7:OO p.m..showing of each f i lm that should have been disappointed. All other showings were delivered as advertised.

In future please consult our ad in the Martlet for the correct showtimes and theatres for each occasion. Other sources are not necessarily correct for they cannot include last minute changes such as the one described above. For any future questions concerning the films please contact Doug Sprenger at the S.U. B.

Little did we b o w dept. Vic- 1 toria Times editorial, Nov. 20, I 1968. I “The. professional occupations, 1 academic- honors and personal ~ interests which mark the career ’ of Dr. Bruce Partridge promise a j great deal for his incumbency of

Partridge on Law Schools. Victoria Times, March 8, 1969

“ A couple of visits before I was offered, and accepted, the position, I was asked, “What do you think about a law school for the University of Victoria?” My f i rs t response was a question. Does British Columbia need another law school?

I think that’s the kind of question we have to ask, and have to ask in a rather hard-nosed fashion. We can’t be all things to all men, we have to select from amongst priorities. That’s what’s fun about it.”

Po.....”‘

Partridge on his plans for changing the university. Victoria

“ I would say this: any university, particularly one that’s growing, must really be a dynamic in- stitution. It can’t be static. So changes will occur, I have no doubt of that. However, they will be deliberate, they will take place not in one year, not in two years, not in five years but continually. I think too many changes at once are dangerous, but if the university manages itself properly there won’t be too many a t once. ”

Partridge on gambling and taking out Canadian citizenship.

Victoria Times, March 8. i!W.

“I would guess I may, but I can’t for five years.

“If I had to put a bet on it, I would say yes - on the other hand, they may not want me after three years as president.”

Partridge on the role of a president. Victoria Times March

8, 1969. “I think a president

must be a leader, someone who helps to synthesize direction and purpose. He doesn’ t unilaterally decide it - he certainly can’t function as a dic- @tor: the system just doesn’t permit it.”

Partridge on having f u n by reflecting people’s interests.

Victoria Times, March 8. 1969 “ I feel this about ad- ministration: We shouldn’t be slaves to an organization chart. We should reflect people and people’s interests. When we do that, we’ll have the best university that. can be. It also makes life a lot more fun. And after all, it if isn’t fun it’s hardly worth it.”

Partridge oil (heh. heh.) coping with formal education. Victoria

Times, March 8. 1969. “I think there is almost a

cult of degrees and this is u n f o r t u n a t e . T h e universities reflect society in this as they .do in many things. But the world is becoming so much .more complex that it takes more formal education to cope.”

Partridge on the need for ad- ministrative specialists. Victoria

Times. March X. 1969.

“This has its dangers, of course. It could lead in the long run - and I think here of society as a whole - to kind of a guild of e d u c a t i o n a l a d - ministrators. I don’t think it’s likely ’ to happen because of the g rea t weight of public interest and of faculty strength. So I think there’s a pretty good counterbalance.”

o . ~ . ~ o o . ~ m

Partridge on Mathews and Steele, the two nationalist academics from the east. Vic- toria Times, March, 1970.

“Partridge said Mathews and Steele had argued that each university “should be forced by law to hire and promote to senior positions , a s s i s t a n t professors such as themselves, who have not completed their training and who apparently cannot or will not complete work for their Ph.D degrees.

That would be nice for them, since they could avoid the cost and effort of further study. I doubt if it would bring great distinction to the universities of Canada. ”

Partridge the academic. Victoria Times, March 8, 1969

‘‘I like to teach, very much. I enjoy it, and find it xery stimulating. I’ve taught law and management - some specialized areas of management - a little bit of physics a long time back. But I think it’s very difficult for a university president to carry on regular teaching. I find it very difficult as a vice- president now.”

“I don’t think that I should teach on a regular basis because I wouldn’t do the proper job.” editor’s note: UBC president Walter Gage makes less money than Partridge, teaches a 10% unit load and is considered to be an excellent teacher, functions as Dean of Student Affairs, has nowhere near the personal staff that Partridge has, refused the presidential mansion, and manages to run a university of 22,000 students very well.

Partridge on academics becoming administrators. Vic-

toria Times, March,1969. “It becomes a terrible

burden, because they’re torn in two different directions. It really is tough on the man.”

Partridge on administration of universities. Victoria Times,

March 8, 1969. “Anybody with a bit of

imagination could design a university that costs twice what this one does and do

- many more things than we can do. But the real trick is to take the resources that are available and to do the very best possible with them, whether it’s in cost of maintenance, con- struction or in, resources, faculty and subject matter. That’s really the excitement that comes from administration.”

Partridge on forgetfulness. Victoria Times, March 8, 1969 “This is one of the

reasons I like to teach, from the philosophical standpoint - it reminds me what a university exists for. And that’s a good reminder.”
