While the statement raised the possibility of a disagreement between himself and the ad- ministration, Rohringer declined to comment further.

Two students who have worked with Rohringer on the housing problems this summer, Dave Johnson and Lake Sagaris, praised the former director for his help.

“He was very helpful and ex- tremely co-operative,” said

Johnson, who is off-campus housing service manager.

she supported the motion. She added that the open house com- mittee “is a student committee, and is open to any student.”

Treasurer Theessen pointed out the reserve fund contains mostly administration money given to students for some of their con- tributions to the open house ac- tivities.

“If we were to allocate the money elsewhere we would be open to serious questioning by the ad- ministration,” he said. Theessen added that council’s obligation to spend the reserve fund money on open house is “moral, bordering on quasi-legal.’’

Councillor Johan de Rooy said the open house provides an op- portunity for all kinds of people in the community to look at the university and what it offers.

“If we are spending t h e money, we should try to show the university as we perceive it,” he added.

defence minister and army chief of staff, will visit UBC Oct. 6 as part of a tour of North American universities.

But the Alma Mater Society is having no part in paying the $6,000 necessary to bring him here, a large percentage of which will be used to pay for his entourage of bodyguards.

Hillel House, a Jewish club af-

filiated with the AMS, had hoped the AMS would pay part of Dayan’s f e e as part of its speakers’ program.

“Dayan is not that important a person . . . so we ‘canned’ it in council on my recommendation,” AMS treasurer Dave Theessen said Wednesday. “It was decided that Dayan’s visit would not generate enough interest to draw a crowd.”

He also said the credit union’s lowoverhead (it pays$510 a year to the university for office space) allows it to make loans more ac- cessible than at a bank.

Interest at UCCU is calculated on a declining balance basis, unlike banks, which calculate interest on the full amount of the loan, said Liu. ,

Senate votes for apple pie

Senate voted Wednesday for what one senator described as a set of “motherhood and apple pie” resolutions about women at UBC.

But senate rejected the idea of establishing a “corporate om- budsman” committee to see the resolutions are implemented.

In the end, senate accepted 13 resolutions proposed by the ad hoc committee on enrolment of women undergraduate and graduate students. (See story on committee report, page 5.)

One contentious resolution - “that faculties facilitate the for- mation of women student groups” - was amended on the recom- mendation of academic planner Robert Clark to remove the word “women.” It was defeated.

Among the resolutions ap- proved :

e the university continue to implement part-time courses of s t u d y ;

e the university continue to provide and expand support ser- vices to mature students; and

0 the university, through the board of governors and the Universities Council work toward a program of financial aid from all levels of government to single parent families.

Science rep Ron Walls, after the resolutions passed (several were amended to make their wording even less contentious than when first presented), said senate had “systematically gone through the women’s recommendations and taken all the teeth out.”

“I don’t understand why we’re going through this and taking all of the trouble out of the resolutions being made,” he said, referring to Clark’s move on women student groups.

Several other resolutions ap- proved were what some senators said are recommendations which have already been implemented.

Ad hoc committee chairperson Gene Errington said. the resolutions were written to avoid controversy so the university could “set guidelines.”

But senate rejected Errington’s request that a permanent “com- mittee on the status of women at UBC be established.”

Clark, in debate about his proposed amendment to delete “women” from the recom- mendation, denied the result of his amendment would be to dilute the resolution. He said women, as well as men, could be members of student groups facilitated by faculties. As debate continued, senators

began asking what business faculties have in establishing student groups for men or women.

Errington said several women students approached the com- mittee who said they feel it is important that faculties encourage formation of special women’s groups.

On another motion, applied science dean W. D. Finn and medicine dean David Bates op- posed Clark when he tried to similarly amend a resolution calling on faculties to make a special commitment to ensure that female graduates find em- ployment.

Bates and Finn, representing faculties that traditionally have had low women enrolment, also, defended the committee’s proposal that they “attempt to recruit more qualified women as faculty members, particularly in those areas where women are significantly underrepresented.”

Finn proposed the university assist the applied science faculty by letting it hire female engineering teachers, allow them tenure, and provide paid leaves of absence so the new instructors can attain assistant professor status.

Prices up, hours down in cafs By CHRIS GAINOR

Hungry students returning to UBC are paying more to eat on campus, and until a t least the end of the month; are finding less time to do it.

Prices of several items in UBC food services cafeterias rose June 9, while most students were away for the summer. Food services director Robert Bailey blamed rising labor and food costs for the increase.

Bailey said Wednesday that prices were increased on the basis of recommendations by the university’s presidential com- mittee on food services.

The committee, which includes one student, recommended the price increases in May. “Sur- prisingly, thecommittee suggested higher prices than (food services) did,” Bailey said.

Labor costs have risen 31 per cent since 1974 and food and supply costs have gone up 20 per cent, he said.

Budget burgers have risen to 35 cents from 30 cents and cheeseburgers have risen 15 cents to 45 cepts. Quarter pounders have jumped to 85 cents from 70 cents and with cheese to 95 cents from 80 cents.

The budget burgers and quarter pounders, which are the same size as McDonald’s hamburgers, were introduced in November after a Ubyssey food price survey revealed food services prices had increased more rapidly than at food outlets off campus.

At the time they were in- remain closed weekends. troduced, the food services burgers He said food service hours for the were priced the same as Mc- remainder of the year will be Donald’s burgers.

services shakes have jumped to 50 cents. ,

The SUB snack bar is currently operating within reduced hours but Bailey claimed they are the same hours as last September. The snack bar closes a t 4:30 p.m. in- stead of 9 p.m. as it did throughout most of the last academic year.

Hours will be extended to 7 p.m. next week, but the snack bar will ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ , ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ : ~ ~ : : : ~ ~ : : ~ : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ~ ~ ~ . ._._...... :.:.x.:.!.>’*..

The Ponderosa is serving beer, priced at 60 cents a bottle, from noon to 2 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Bailey said the university ad- ministration has developed a “liberal attitude” towards alcohol, and is “experimenting” with beer service. The service may be ex- tended to other food services outlets, depending on demand, he added. a

Scandalo.us silence

Why did Les Rohringer really resign as residence director?

The polite answer both from the man himself and from the administration is "personal reasons."

But why does a guy who has worked a t UBC for 14 years, who is apparently respected by the students he deals with and who cares about the university suddenly decide

. From what The Ubyssey has learned the decision was made in a hell of a hurry.

Old Les hasn't always been res students most favorite administration character. Just remember the turfing out of a few tenants each year for the sake of setting examples.

Still, there is more to this issue than can or should be tucked away behind a nebulous label.

The university community is entitled to some answers on this one.

UBC has a number of people who might be considered political watchdogs. They mouth off for causes of al l sorts, some of which don't really exist.

.They aren't quiet. They don't cover up. You usually don't get "polite" answers to questions.

Usually, that is. In the case of Rohringer, everybody is shutting up.

Why? I f Rohringer was forced to resign, the university community is entitled to hear why. Pressures coming from the change in administration, alleged wrongdoing, different philosophies - whatever it is, let's hear it.

This kind of chicken-shit silence from the supposedly active people a t UBC is dangerous. I f Rohringer has a legitimate case then fight it in the open, not privately.

It might reveal some interesting things about our new administration.

to quit?

Good riddance Rec UBC has finally been wrecked. And it's about time too. Ever since the silly program was put into effect in 1972

it has been unpopular. For years students got the same thing for free. It took three years for the administration to come to their senses.

Happy, yes. Ecstatic, no. While the program's free next year we still have to pay

this year. That's $5 per student too much. Besides, some of us won't be around next year to enjoy

the freebee. The board should have picked up the tab for this year's

program as well if it thinks it should be paying a t all. Now the next thing the board should do is eliminate the

compulsory $5 athletic fee which sends extramural sports all over the place. If they.put that fin into intramurals which all students can participate in then we'd all be on the right track.

History speaks

Mike Sasges' piece in your issue of Sept. 9 encapulating the history of your illustrious newspaper makes mention of the fact that in 1950 I had the dubious distinction of having my fair body kidnapped by the revolting engineers "for refusing to run the engineers' annual faculty newspaper."

Not so. The engineers had been running

their "Red Rag" as an insert in the paper for years and far be it from me to tamper with tradition. It was one issue that was sure to be read by the entire campus community.

The betting in The Ubyssey of- fice - in those days located in the darkest reaches of Brock Hall - always revolved around what steps a malevolent administration would take in response to .the Redshirts' latest outrage.

So, far from retaliating against

BANHAM. . . contented. me for refusing to include the Rag in The Ubyssey, the engineers simply decided to kidnap myself and another staffer, Hugh Cameron, and spirit us off to a grotty motel out on Kingsway, wherewe spent the day lounging on a bed reading naughty magazines and eating fish and chips out of newspaper. About midnight a task force of law students ransomed us for two bottles of beer.

All during the day my companion

Cameron stomped around the bedroom of the motel thinking up the most incredible reprisals against the Redshirts. When we arrived back on the campus the next day I called the editorial board together and pulled rank. I threatened to cut off their beer if a single line about the kidnapping appeared in the next edition of the paper.

I made sure I was in The Ubyssey's offices shortly after the next issue of the paper appeared. It

wasn't long before my kidnappers appeared, totally crestfallen, to protest the fact that I had refused to print a line about their escapade.

That act hurt them more than any editorial comment we could have printed. There is a lesson in that for the current staff ,of The Ubyssey.

There is a sequel to the story. The Red Rag was used to publicize the annual Engineer's Ball, which took place shortly after the insert appeared.

Naturally, the Redshirts provided us with free tickets for the two-night affair and we dutifully showed up in the Com- modore downtown on the first night for a bit of gladhanding and back- slapping with our former captors.

On the second night of the ball a group of Ubyssey staffers showed up a t the home of the then president of the EUS as he was dressing for the second night of the ball, kidnapped him, and held him incommunicado somewhere out in New Westminster until about midnight.

Then we all drove to the Com- modore and I made a touching speech from the bandstand about how we had learned that poor old Cy White - the EUS president - had deserted his family and The Ubyssey had winkled him out of a skid road pub and returned him to the bosom of his family.

Then we all had another drink and called it square.

I couldn't seem to get through any story without stumbling across an irrelevant quote from this failed antidote to Dutch Elm disease.

All I want is the facts, ma'am, not the rantings of a raving luny from Cluny.

I appreciate that this Rottendam worthy was elected student president on a campaign of dental '

reform but reading what he has to say about every little campus item windmills to tulips is like pulling teeth in an idiot's wind.

I really feel down in the mouth about the hole thing. The Yanks are coming, etc.

Seriously, I'm very proud of all you youngsters for putting out such a lively little journal and even managing to get that nasty four- letter word "snap" in a headline, but come now, you can surely do without that man van der Zalm in every single story.

It gets a bit tedious seeing his name every time I turn the page. Remember, the pallindrome of der is red.

One thing I did like about the paper, though, was the new look you gave vice-president Chuck Connaghan. It's amazing what getting away from unions has done for his appearance.

Careers 75 hires 25 Twenty-five UBC students found

some relief from summer job worries through the Careers '75 program.

The provincially funded program spqnsored 11 three-week projects on campus in August.

Total money granted was $13,116, which paid administrative costs and provided salaries ranging from $416 to $520 for three weeks of work.

The Alma Mater Society con-. tracted seven of the 11 projects. Three people were hired to clean up and organize the AMS's central filing system and another was hired to conduct a feasibility study of the student dental plan proposed by the Student Unity slate as part of its election platform (it would cost $424,000 to operate in its first year, the study found).

Two women were hired to studv

rape crisis centre for the univer- sity community and two men had the job of compiling a program for the AMs speakers committee.

The AMS hired two students to write a student handbook section for this year's edition of Bird Calls, the campus telephone directory, and two others examined the question of garbage recycling in the lower mainland.

And AMs secretary Ellen Paul was hired to do preliminary research for this year's open house.

Other recipients of grants were the B.C. Students' Federation and the engineers' electric car project.

It also suggested counsellors and teachers be made aware of this situation through continuing education courses and education workshops.

The committee also blamed the difficulty many women have in financing their education on their sex, and blamed university literature for "reflecting the assumption that certain fields will not be of interest to women, or that others will be of particular interest to women."

Other recommendations in- clude :

0 Hiring more qualified women ' as faculty members, especially in those faculties where women are significantly under-represented.

o The university should "facilitate $e implementation of child care services."

o The university, through the Universites Council, should establish a program of financial aid to single parent families.

In the 1974-75 winter session, 12,664 men and 8,736 women were enrolled in graduate and under- graduate programs. In the science faculty, men outnumbered women 2,846 to 979.
