Union charges unfair practices By KATHY CARNEY UBC personnel director Joh n McLean will meet Friday wit h 17-year employee Jeanne Paul t o discuss her job status at th e university. Paul was asked Sept. 30 for he r resignation from her job a s administrative assistant to th e dean of science faculty. The request was made afte r Paul attended a union organizing meeting Sept. 28 sponsored by local 15 of the Office 'an d Technical Employees Union. OTEU spokesman Bill Lowe charged Wednesday that Paul was asked for her resignation fo r union activities. Paul said she had been given n o reasons for the request. Sh e refused to speculate on them. The recommendation for he r dismissal was made by actin g science dean Robert Scagel. Reasons for the recommendatio n have been given to McLean in a written report but he is refusin g to release the contents. McLean denied that th e recommendation for the dismissal was made on grounds of unio n activity. "This had nothing to do wit h the union, " said McLean. "If a person wants to join the unio n that's okay but it takes a majorit y to get certification." He said Paul is still on the.n. university payroll. He added that if the recommendation for dismissal is Vol. LIII, No. 13 VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 197 1 approved, the personnel offic e will attempt to find her another position within the university. Lowe warned that the unio n will lay an unfair labor practice s charge against UBC before th e provincial Labor Relations Boar d if Paul is dismissed and requests - assistance. He said the union is willing t o MONTREAL (CUPI) Faculty members at th e University of Montreal have reaffirmed thei r support for the school's 1,000 non-academi c employees who walked off their jobs last week. The Association des Professeurs de 1'Universit e de Montreal agreed Tuesday to give $2,000 to th e strike fund and urged each of its members t o contribute a full day's pay. Faculty and students have been respecting picket lines around the campus. More than 25,000 students and teachers ar e now supporting the workers' strike, resulting in a total shutdown of the university, while unio n representatives affiliated with the Canadian Union employee who gets into the same situation. The dispute between the union and the UBC administratio n appears to stem from a majo r organizing drive on campus during the past two weeks. The administration i s attempting to stifle union organizing by refusing employee s do the same for any university the right to meet on campus to,neto 4 8 228-2301j discuss unionization. Lowe said there has been a favorable response to th e organizing attempts. When asked to give reason s why employees should join the union, he said: "Primarily because their salaries are lower than the y would be if they were members o f a union." McLean told The Ubyssey tha t Campus shutdown continues of Public Employees continue negotiations with the administration. The university administration claims it canno t meet the union's wage demands because of financia l restrictions imposed by the Quebec government. Union officials say the administration is obsucring the wage dispute by ignoring th e breakdown in job classification presented at th e bargaining table, making union demands see m outrageously high. If the deadlock continues past next week, th e professors agreed to meet again to reconsider thei r stand on the strike. Students have indicated they will respect th e picket lines indefinitely until a settlement i s reached. grievances are first handled by a n employee's immediate superior. If an agreement is not reache d at that stage, he said, the disput e goes up the universit y bureaucracy until it reaches th e department head and McLean for a final joint settlement. Lowe also said present benefits given to UBC employees would b e preserved in writing and that the workers would have "an increased voice in salary and promotions." A meeting of university employees interested i n unionization will be held at 5 :30 p.m. today at the Ironworker s Hall, 2415 Columbia. 60 clubs ou t for members The Alma Mater Society' s annual clubs day is being hel d today in SUB. Sixty of the 12 0 AMS-sponsored clubs will b e participating in this yearly effor t to recruit new members and show what they can do. Most of the familiar group s such as Filmsoc, Mussoc. and Radsoc will have displays, as will political and religious clubs, skydivers and sailors. Clayton Vogler of the club s committee said he expects club membership to increase by 50 0 people as a result of clubs day. Last year's membership was 5,500, Vogler said.
Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Thursday, October 14, 197 1 Alternate food servic e 'dead issue,' says Ruthi e The alternate food service has been doing a boomin g business on the main floor o f SUB despite administratio n threats to close it down. And it appears that th e administration-run foo d services is dropping it s campaign to wipe out th e alternate service. Food services director Ruth Blair said Wednesday she no longer has any complaints about the alternate service operation. "The alternate service is now a dead issue, as far as I' m concerned," she said. " The administratio n notified them that they had t o leave, and as far as I know the y have left." Blair has been engaged in a fear campaign designed to pi t food services workers agains t the alternate operation. She has claimed that the service will force layoffs in cafeterias. Lyle Osmundson, owner-operator of the alternat e service, said business is "bette r than ever," despite a lette r from depute president William White informing him that h e was expected to move out. "We've even opened anothe r table, and we've no intention s of leaving," Osmundson said. "All we're interested i n doing is providing good chea p food. So many people are complaining about foo d services that if we left I'm sure someone else would take u p the cause." Sue Kennedy, Alma Mate r Society co-ordinator, said afte r a meeting she had with Blair o n Tuesday, that she got the impression that Blair wa s dropping the issue. "However, if she decides to revive it and cut employees ' hours in the future, then th e AMS will want some figures on how much money food services People who ride bikes are very quiet, don't mess u p the air, and stay skinnie r and sexier.

Thursday, October 14, 1971 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 `Don't cut school budgets'-bctf The British Columbia Teachers Federation ha s initiated a campaign to prevent the provincial educatio n budget cut from becoming legislation. The budget announced Monday by provincial education minister Donald Brothers is slated to be cu t from 110 per cent of last year's budget to 108 per cent. Under the new plan, B.C.. school districts will be allowed an eight per cent increase in their budgets fro m last year, instead of the traditional 10 per cent yearl y increase. As part of the provincial education act, the budge t can only be altered by an amendment to the act in the provincial legislature. Brothers said Monday he will bring the amendment up in the legislature next January. BCTF president Jim MacFarlane said Wednesday his federation will make every possible effort to arouse public concern over the issue before the January legislature session, to discourage MLAs from supportin g the amendment. "We have contacted many B.C. school boards an d the B.C. School Trustees Association, and all hav e agreeed to support our actions," MacFarlane said. He said the BCTF would stage an "all-out publicit y campaign against the budget cut" in the upcoming months. "We must convince the public how destructive this cut is to the needs of our children," he said. He said the budget cut would result in cutbacks i n the special education program for mentally an d physically retarded children, supplies and materials to school boards and ancillary services such as schoo l janitorial maintenance and buses for field trips. He estimated the cut as a loss of $5 million to the. Quebec liberation support march set A demonstration of support for the nationa l liberation movement in Quebec will be hel d Saturday the anniversary of the declaration of the War Measures Act. A spokesman for the October 16 Committe e which is organizing the demonstration, sai d Wednesday demonstrators are to assemble Saturda y at 7 p.m. in Thorton Park, in front of the Canadia n National Railway station on Main St. From there they will march to the federal building at Granville and Hastings, where there will be short speeches in support of the Quebe c movement. Lower Mainland school boards and over $1 million for the Vancouver district alone. "But most importantly, the budget cut will.result i n the further overcrowding of classes which are already overcrowded," he said. Teachers' salaries constitute two-thirds of the education budget. "This is'the worst educational deterrent I can think of because the children are just not going to get th e individual help they need, if teachers will have time t o give them extra help at all," MacFarlane said. MacFarlane said he personally does not feel th e budget will be cut. "(Premier W. A. C.) Bennett is full of these straw-in-the-wind ideas which never come to pass," h e said. "We just want to make sure that this one will mee t the same result." BLUES SINGERS, Sonny Terry (right) and Brownie McGhee wowed a standing room onl y audience in the SUB ballroom Tuesday night.

NFTU tired of talk, wants binding negotiations The non-faculty teachers union will present a list of demands Friday to graduate studies dean Ian Cowan. NFTU spokesman Mark Madoff said Wednesday th e union hopes to establish more concrete grounds fo r improvement of the situation of teaching assistants on campus. "We don't see any point in engaging in more talk about what we want. We want to enter into negotiation s of a more binding sort," said Madoff. The now-defunct committee for the review of th e TA 's situation was set up last summer under the leadership of Cowan. According the the NFTU the committee held only one meeting. "If the university really means to do anything abou t the situation, they have to set up a committee in which we all participate with real decision-making authority." The brief prepared by the NFTU states fou r demands for determining the composition of a committee on TAs : That it have a membership consisting of equa l numbers of representatives from the administration, th e Graduate Students Association and the NFTU. That the committee be a binding recommending power, and that it cease being referred to as a workshop. That there be vote parity on all issues, one vote per member. That there be a deadline date for the first meeting called Oct. 30. In the past the NFTU has received unsatisfactory reaction from Cowan's committee. " We've shown real interest in getting out and helping them work, but they've just changed th e committee format around and so on," Madoff said. The union hopes that the new committee they are proposing would solve these difficulties, although. Madoff said there is no assurance that the committee will be setup. The brief presented to Cowan will accentuate the most pressing needs of the NFTU that should be deal t with by such a committee. The first of these demands is for a minimum wage of $3,200 per year for non-faculty teachers. "This still allows for higher rates to be paid," Madoff said. "But it assures at least this payment for al l non-faculty teachers at UBC." The second demand is that the committee be a continuing consultation and decision-making body for non-faculty members. "This way we would be able to communicate with the university in a way never done before," Madoff said. The union also recommends that one faculty member be responsible for TA grievances. Finally, they want the university to make clear the administration policies on the hiring of non-faculty teachers and the university 's responsibility to graduate students. "Right now the university is saying that you have t o have a lot of money to be a graduate student here," Madoff said. He said that past dealings with the administration about TA grievances have only led to "delaying tactics " by the university. However, the NFTU has now organized a new caucus which is hoping, through the new brief, to ge t more concrete action from the university in dealing with their situation. Anyone interested in helping out or looking into the NFTU can contact them in SUB 262 or at 228-3975.
Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Thursday, October 14, 197 1 Uniondom It appears that UBC and other Canadia n universities are suddenly being confronted by one o f those nasty manifestations of the real world whic h sometimes succeed in forcing themselves upon th e corporate realm of academe. Within recent weeks, unions composed of varyin g classifications of university workers have been making their presence felt. In an area of society geared almost completely t o producing the data and the managers for th e profit-making classes, such a presence is a rude and unwelcome nuisance. But it's long overdue. We know what UBC thinks of unions and b y extension university workers. UBC is quietly (this is a polite, scholarly place, afte r all) doing what it can to smash attempts at unio n organization and to keep a foot firmly on the mai n existing union the Canadian Union of Publi c Employees. Housing administration has already tried to cut th e wages of its unionized residence maids and food services is trying to do the same. Funny how labor is always th e first area hit when a budget cut is contemplated. And more recently, a union was refused a place to meet on campus for organizational purposes and a woman apparently dismissed from her job for getting a little too close to union organizing.. It's no coincidence that these events have occurre d at a time when there seems to be a major push across Canada to unionize university workers or use existin g campus union locals to better the wages and working conditions of memberships. We have already seen union actions at th e University of Alberta in Edmonton and are now witnessing a strong union, move at the Universite d e Montreal. No wonder UBC administrators and the board o f governors (read : directors) are trying to asser t themselves over workers here. (Having the anti-labor, tight-fisted Socreds breathing down their necks doesn' t make things any easier either. ) But a strong union movement is a necessity on a university campus because, along with the reality o f lousy wages, it has become evident that workers at UB C have about as much control over their working lives a s students. That is to say, almost none. In fact, the stall tactics used by the UBC senate t o keep CUPE representatives off that august body suggest s that workers' claims have even less weight than thos e made by students. I n one area at least the student conscience is clear : The AMS has encouraged its workers to unionize an d they have done so. However, until administration harassment of union s ceases'at UBC and until the workers here have stron g representation on all governing bodies and until the y have some measure of control over their working lives, the problem will remain unsolved. In the meantime, we'd better realize where ou r allegiance should lie. And it ain't with the administrators, the pollutin g pulp millers, the forest barons and the Socreds.

Walt I only just recovered from th e permanently crippling shock o f learning that Santa Claus is reall y only a front for the Downtow n Merchants' Association. But any naive illusions I may have had on righteousness or decency in the world were foreve r expelled from my head when I discovered last night that the her o of every child and creature is i n truth a homicidal rapist. It was with deepest regret tha t I read an article describing th e Disney Productions (of Micke y Mouse and - apple pie fame) proposal to erect a massive recreational spectacle in the middle of the one of the few truly beautiful wilderness areas left in the U.S. Mineral Kings. Mineral Kings is situated on th e western slopes of the High Sierra s in California. I have had a personal relationship with thi s area, as I spent a good part of a month a few summers back hikin g and camping through its heart and mine. "Excuse me, but where do I find the Reality Club? " Letters Now good of Walt and Co. have submitted plans for a projec t "including swimming pools, specialty shops, ice rinks, tennis courts, a golf course, a five-story hotel complex of 1,030 rooms, 2 2 ski lifts, and an eight-to-l0-leve l parking structure located at th e base of the valley. The whole facility is geared to handle up t o 8,500 visitors per day." Just what is going on here?!! How can such a delicate an d beautiful piece of wilderness hope to withstand the trampling onslaught of 8,500 visitors pe r day? Disney Productions has rationalized the whole proposa l by stating it will make Minera l Kings "more available" to th e general public. Just who do they consider th e "general public"? Th e above-average-income day skie r who has to pay through the nos e to stay in the expensive hotel, that's who. It is up to us to becom e increasingly concerned in th e battle to see no irreversibl e damage is done to our non-renewable environment by phonies such as Disney Productions, whose only motive is for its own pockets and who shows little regard for that which should be free and unaltered for all time. It wasn't my intention to preach or anything, because I am probably as ill-informed on what is going on as most of you. But a s a person who has spent the majority of his tender young life in love with the outdoors (and it s preservation) I just want to bring this criminal injustice to your attention. I appeal to you to think twic e about taking your kid brother or sister to see a "nice, wholesome " Disney movie because the buck s you pay are helping to destro y Bambi. Arnie McRader Forestry 1
Thursday, October 14, 1971 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 Disgusted Having read your report abou t the AMS rejecting a proposal t o demonstrate against the Sovie t Union's policies on the ground s that a demonstration does not reflect an AMS "priority", we are absolutely disgusted. Either those who rejected such a proposal are ignorant of the history of internal oppression an d military aggression of the U.S.S.R., or they are simpl y indifferent to a history of injustice and persecution. How can they have the nerve to justify their rejection on th e basis of their narrow "priority"? Premier Alexei Kosygin will b e the first high official of the U.S.S.R. to visit Vancouver ; thus, as never before, concerned peopl e have an opportunity to expres s their disgust with the policies o f that country. There is no embassy, consulate, trade commission or othe r permanent Soviet governmen t agancy in Vancouver ; thus a genuine opportunity is to be disregarded because of a question of AMS "priority". Perhaps we should forget abou t the millions (yes, millions) of persons who have perished in Siberian labor camps after all, they are no longer a matter o f priority. Forget about th e Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanian s and Ukrainians who wer e uprooted from their homes an d settled throughout the U.S.S.R. s o as to destroy their cultures thi s doesn't concern us, it's n o priority. Forget about the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 ol d news is no longer a matter o f priority. Don't bother recallin g the ruthless invasion of Hungar y in 1956 older news is no longe r a matter of priority. Don' t concern yourself with the pligh t of three million Jews in the Sovie t Union they were never a matter of priority. Are there no priorities relatin g to the Soviet Union to concer n ourselves with today? Why doe s our AMS council refuse t o concern itself with the following policies of the Soviet Union? 1.There is no freedom of expression and speech for writers, scientists and people in the arts. Any political dissent is swiftl y dealt the lethal blow of Sovie t justice. 2. Minority groups, i n particular the Jews, face a n official government policy of cultural and religious genocide. 3. The U.S.S.R. has disregarde d the "international declaration of human rights " to which it was a signatory. It has callously disregarded the rights guarantee d Soviet citizens under the constitution. 4. In the past month the Sovie t government has discharged three nuclear bombs underground, the last being the largest one so far detonated by any country. The Soviet Union has shown n o indication that such nuclear test s will cease. 5. The U.S.S.R. is presently the second largest manufacturer and dealer in conventional weapons. 6. The "Brezhnev doctrine" i s an open statement to the worl d community of that country ' s intention to carry out imperialistic manoeuvres when i t so desires. 7. The U.S.S.R. has an d continues to openly intimidate and threaten the sovereignty of Rumania, Albania and Yugoslavia. 8. The U.S.S.R. is another of the super powers failing t o comply with a mora l responsibility to the huma n community. 9. The legal system of the U.S.S.R. is no more than a n administrative arm of the KGB, and the Kremlin policy-makers. A system in which - such terms as justice and fair trial are reduced t o verbal exercises. A system with such open and nebulous crimes as "slandering. the state" an d "anti-soviet propaganda" for which the mildest punishmen t upon conviction makes our penal system seem utopian. We as human beings must b e concerned with such policies. Indifference makes u s accomplices. Our silence is the perpetrators' glory. As a matter of "priority" we must condemn those who rejected the proposal put to the AMS and urge them to reconsider thei r priorities. This is a question of issues not politics. We urge all those who ' disagree with the "AMS priority" or more aptly, policy to turn out and join those who will be protesting the policies of the Soviet government. After the AMS has expresse d itself in such a narrow manner, perhaps students will b e influenced to vote on the Oct. 2 7 referendum and suggest to th e human government just what the y think of its "priorities". Jerry Adler, Larry Flader, Harry Lipetz, Law 3 If you had attended the AM S council meeting you refer to, yo u would know that council members agree with many of the points you have made abou t oppression within the Sovie t Union. However, some council members pointed out that there are literally hundreds of similar cases of oppression which UBC students might legitimatel y protest. (We note, for example, that you are not enraged enoug h to write about oppression i n Quebec or genocide in Bangla Desh.) This being the case, it was argued in student council that the constraints of AMS time and money dictate that decisions must be made on the basis of priorities, especially considering the fact that any number of groups have already stated they plan to hold demonstrations during the Kosygin visit. And if any UBC group plans such a demonstration, The Ubyssey will be glad to convey the information to the campus. Blood To the human government : You've really done it now, yo u bastards. What earthly reason do you have for kicking the Red Cros s blood donor clinic out of SUB? When considering the good tha t these people were doing, it seems asinine that you intend to increase the difficulties they already encounter by moving their Letters headquarters to an even les s accessible area than the secon d floor of SUB. Perhaps you intend to use the space they occupied for the installation of your FM radio station? This tricky little move really caps off some of your others. For instance, your intention to cut off all funds to intramural sports. You are playing on the apathy of the student body and know bloody well you can get away with practically anything you want. How can you sleep at night? Five signature s We don't know where you r information comes from, but it's all false. 1. Florence Edwards, the Red Cross employee who booked rooms for the blood donor clinic in SUB, informs us that the clinic operated as planned from Sept. 27 to Oct. I. She says there is no truth to your statement that the clinic was kicked out of SUB. 2. If you check with the Radi o Society people you will find tha t neither they nor the AMS has current plans for installing an F M radio station. 3. The AMS is not "cutting off all funds to intramurals." A loo k at the proposed budget publishe d in The Ubyssey (Friday, Oct. 8) shows that $3,500 is earmarked for intramurals, and the hope of the AMS council, as we understand it, is that the university will contribute additional funds out of the $ 5 compulsory athletic fee which now pays for extramural sports. In future, you would be wel l advised to check your informatio n before getting hysterical abou t imagined evils. Bikes Some years ago a studen t cyclist was killed in an acciden t on Chancellor Boulevard, whic h prompted the construction of a rudimentary cycle path along a section of this road.

Broadway 738-2010 OTTAWA Canadians have long suspected that power i n official Ottawa was not exercised quite the way the textbook s imagined it, that the neat little divisions among parliament, cabinet, civil service and so forth were not really how the whol e thing worked. Speculation has always focussed particularly on the prim e minister's office (PMO), where clever, scheming individuals ar e thought to run the man who runs the country. These suspicions, of course, are firmly grounded in fact. In the 1940s, for instance, Jack Pickersgill had no small influence on his aging boss, prim e minister Mackenzie King, and in the first days of the regime o f Louis St.-Laurent, according to Peter Newman (who admittedl y has a tendency to hyperbole), "the country was to an astonishing degree run by Jack Pickersgill." In the Lester Pearson era, Tom Kent (who has since gone on to preside over the dying collierie s of Cape Breton) was singled out for the game role. With Pierre Trudeau as prime minister, curiosity about wha t goes on in the East Block has, if anything, intensified. It has als o changed its focus in that it is no longer a single man is suppose d to run the show from behind the scenes (although individual s such as Marc Lalonde and Michael Pitfield do get special attention) but an entire group. This genre of political analysis is best represented by Walte r Stewart's new book on the prime minister, Shrug, published this week by New Press and previously serialized in The Glob e Magazine. "To all intents and purposes," says Stewart, "Canada is no longer run by parliament, or the cabinet, or even the party in power; it is run by the prime minister and his own personal power bloc," which Stewart calls the Supergroup. Understandably, Stewart is now out of favor in the prim e minister's office. Equally understandably, the PMO has become increasingly sensitive about this type of criticism. It has even taken th e extraordinary step of responding to it in a paper presented by the prime minister 's principal secretary, Marc Lalonde, to th e Institute of Public Administration in Regina in early September. This document, along with a companion paper on the priv y council office (PCO) an equally inscrutable advisory organization also operating out of the East Block by its boss, Gordon Robertson, provides the clearest picture to date of ho w the prime minister's advisers view their own function, and ha s received wide attention among columnists and writers for op-e d pages. PM's power increases Lalonde agrees that the power of the prime minister ha s been increasing (he refers to the multi-dimensional growth of the demands made on the prime minister in all the roles that he is called upon to fulfill) and that the function of his staff ha s widened correspondingly ("an unavoidable increase in servic e support functions" and "a deliberate increase in political advisor y support functions"). He is, however, hesitant about discussing at whose expens e the accretion of power to the prime minister's office has been. He vigorously denies that it has been at the expense of parliamen t and the cabinet, and attributes it rather to the increasing role o f government (no discussion of public administration is complet e without mention of the increasing role of government). However, both he and Robertson provide hints that they believe there is more involved in the changes Trudeau has made. Here is Robertson explaining why Trudeau has allowed deputy ministers and other senior civil servants to sit in on meetings o f cabinet committees : "The seasoned public servant will recognize that what are a t issue are the policies of the government, to be decided by th e judgment of the ministers, even though this means acceptin g gracefully decisions that may be personally distasteful. The Robert Chodos of the L analyzes some rising sty prime minister 's office. advantages in decision-making are clear. There are equal advantages in administration. The exposure of senior officials t o the thinking and policy concerns of ministers helps them t o explain to their departments the logic decisions that migh t otherwise seem wrong, incomprehensible or `petty politics'." It sounds almost like the arguments of an enlightene d university administrator for allowing students to sit on the- - faculty council. Robertson is a model civil servant, and accustomed to being discreet. Lalonde is more direct. Here he describes what he believes the purpose of the growth of the advisory staff in the PMO and PCO to be : "Sensitive and responsive government requires firm politica l control. It requires that parliament, the cabinet and the prime minister possess more than mere nominal power to originate an d assess policy and to decide on its final disposition. In the exercis e of political control, the prime minister must wear many hats a s a public figure, statesman, co-ordinator, planner, thinker, legislator and representative. In trying to achieve this importan t objective, the prime minister must have help. Herein lies anothe r principal rationale of the prime minister's decision to increase th e size of his office. The prime minister 's office is seen as an instrument o f establishing political control over the civil service, so that "real and effective decision-making remains the prerogative o f politicians and not bureaucrats. " Stewart, in his own way, shares this view : "The prime minister's counter-bureaucracy is playing hell with the real bureaucracy. Canada's civil service has been, by and large, a good one, firmly rooted in the notion of responsi 'overnment. But,
Thursday, October 14, 1971 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 men behind )t surprisingly, the bureaucrats have begun to withdraw..." So both Trudeau 's friends and his enemies agree that th e :pansion of the prime ministerial staff is directed, at least i n art, at the civil service. The ultimate political responsibility of e civil service is, of course,,a concept to which lip service has ways been paid (although it has not always worked out so wel l practice). But Trudeau's supposed moves in that direction rais e many questions as they answer. In theory, the civil service is impartial and non-political, ithful to its mission of carrying out the policies of whicheve r irty has been entrusted with power by the sovereign will of th e!ople. In practice, implementation of that theory has bee n cilitated by the fact that one specific party has been in powe r r thirty of the last thirty-six years ( the remaining six years, the Tiod of John Diefenbaker's prime ministership, were a time of most open warfare between the civil service and th e.vernment). The durability of Liberal stewardship has encouraged a rtain easy identification between the civil servants and thei r ~litical masters. When the Liberals came back into power unde r 'arson in 1963, no fewer than ten of the new ministers sworn i n icluding the PM) were former civil servants (as compared t o ily two of the old Diefenbaker ministers). This blurring of roles is epitomized in the career o f ckersgill, who came to Ottawa as a junior civil servant, then wa s conded by Mackenzie King into a semi-political job in the PMO, en occupied the senior civil service post of clerk of the priv y,until and secretary to the cabinet (the position now held b y )rdon Robertson), then became the most partisan of Libera l Ps, and finally disappeared back into the civil service. We do not have a non-political civil service, we have a Liberal one. And one of the chief sources of the Liberals' ability to stay on top has been, along with its corporate financial base, its base in the civil service. The politics of the mandarins, their cautious, continentalist, Merchant-Heeney, don't-rock-the-boat liberalism, have been one with the politics of the regime. If Pierre Trudeau is trying to impose political control on this body, what kind of politics is he trying to impose? Back in 1964, a manifesto appeared in the Montreal intellectual magazine Cite Libre (which Trudeau has just wreste d back from the untrustworthy hands of Pierre Vallieres) an d simultaneously in the Toronto intellectual magazine Canadia n Forum. Entitled "An Appeal for Realism in Politics" and signe d by seven university-based French Canadians, all but one unde r thirty-five (the exception was Pierre Trudeau), the document i s liberal, optimistic about the possibilities of the technologica l society, profoundly rationalist in its view of human nature, and what is remarkable for manifesto coming out of Quebec in th e sixties anti-nationalist. Some of the demands of the manifesto have bee n implemented, others (such as full employment) have not, stil l others have become irrelevant with the passage of time. But it remains valuable as a handy guide to the political thought of the prime minister and his circle. It is civil-service liberalism brought up to date, or at least up to the early 1960s. Come to power,.it is the programming, planning, budgeting system, cost-benefit analysis, and othe r genuflections to the bitch-goddess, efficiency, as interpreted o n earth by the word-made-flesh, Robert McNamara. The prim e minister and his advisers are the kind of people who could easil y go for Herman Kahnian futurological think tanks, which they did, to the tune of $10 million. A shift in influence Which brings us to the second question : as an attempt to impose political control on the civil service, what does thi s amount to? Lalonde had been generally accepted as the eminence grise of the Trudeau administration, until columnist Douglas Fisher (who keeps the closest watch on the civil service of all Ottaw a reporters) tabbed Michael Pitfield for that position. Lalonde is in the PMO, Pitfield is Robertson's deputy in the PCO and, eminences grises or not, there is a close parallel between their careers. Both were members of the coterie of bright young me n who surrounded Davie Fulton when he was Diefenbaker's justic e minister. Lalonde was one of the seven signers of the 196 4 manifesto ; it was Pitfield who translated it for English Canadia n consumption. Both returned to Ottawa in the later Pearson year s (along with their fellow Quebecers Marchand, Trudeau, an d Pelletier), Lalonde as Pearson's chief policy adviser, Pitfield in th e privy council office. And both saw their influence increase substantially in the regime of their common friend, Pierre Trudeau. Their primary identification is with the prime minister, not with the civil service or even the Liberal party but the n Trudeau, who flirted with the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in the 1950s and bitterly denounced the Liberals a s late as 1963, is rather a late-blooming party man himself. Wha t the change amounts to is a shift in influence from peopl e identified with the old-style don't-speak-above-a-hush politics o f the mandarins to the new-style souped up politics of the prime minister. One wonders whether this was what political control of th e civil service was supposed to be all about. And that brings us to the third question about the Trudea u initiative : will it succeed? Stewart thinks that "the power so assiduously won awa y from cabinet, parliament, the party and the bureaucracy will not be readily returned ; the trend toward centralizing power in th e PMO will not be easily reversed." And Lalonde suggests the sam e thing: "I am convinced that any future prime minister, upo n assuming office, would want to maintain at least the same basi c organization." Lalonde is no doubt right in the narrow sense that the day s when a prime minister could get by with a staff of two or thre e secretaries are over. But in the wider sense of whether the trend s Trudeau has set in motion are irreversible, the answers are not s o clear. After all, the John Diefenbakers come and go, and so do the Pierre Trudeaus, so even do the Lalondes and Pitfields, but the bureaucracy, massive, irresponsible, and self-contained, jus ' keeps rollin' along.

Thursday, October 14, 1971 THE UBYSSEY Page 9 By PATRICK MacFADDE N Last Post News Service A spectre is haunting th e campuses of English Canada. It i s called futurology. Closely allied to both star- an d navel-gazing, futurology is th e latest U.S. import. It marks a further step in sociology' s manic-depressive sweep toward s ultimate meaninglessness. Trooping back to campuse s after a summer spent in make-work projects, students have been presented with lengthy bibliographies featuring such seminal works as Charles Reich' s The Greening of America an d Alvin Toffler's Future Shock. Neither book addresses itself t o concerns that are in any wa y Canadian. Both are products o f the stunned consciousness tha t has emerged in post-my La i America. Both books ar e concerned with the future, which is considered problematic. Neithe r has anything to say about th e present, which is considere d unspeakable. Yet the popularity of such books does bring a sigh of relief t o hard pressed colleg e administrations. From 1967 on, favorite reading among the cor d bell set has included Fanon, Cleaver and Malcol m disquieting authors whos e formulations were clearly designed to wreak havoc in th e free marketplace of ideas. In 1971, all has changed. Work boots and lumberjack shirts may still prevail, but all in all the new fall semester marks a retreat from UBC chases big money UBC plans to ask industry t o help hind a three-year building program in the agricultural science faculty. UBC has already allocated $500,000 to the faculty, which is the only agricultural school in the province. The university is asking for an additional $512,000 to build dairy barns, field buildings, experimental plots and units fo r mink, poultry, sheep and large r animals in the south area o f campus. The faculty's enrolment is 22 3 this year. a SUB FILM SOC presentation : College, the '70s and the future s a spectre haunts the air the confrontation politics of the late sixties. The failure of both Yippie and SDS brands of social activism to make an appreciable dent in the horny hide of Leviathan liberalism has taken it s mournful toll. The new quietism include s music.

The music itself propagates a message of helplessness : "And Jesus, you gotta help me thi s time," runs a line from a Tom Rush album. James Taylor ha s issued similar calls for help to a deity who sounds more and mor e like the director of a mental health clinic. Individual solutions for essentially social problems wer e considered passe in the activis t sixties. Not so in 1971. Another new campus classic, The Primal Scream, is essentially a replay of the therapeutic techniques popular in kindergarten circles 20 years ago. It is required reading as we enter the seventies. On the women's liberatio n front, Germaine Greer remain s germane. The Female Eunuch, however, far from heralding a ne w brand of activism, may represent a holding action. Out of the welte r of trendy non-books devoted t o all that is irrational in the human spirit, from astrology manuals t o the agressive tootlings of,a Toffler, Greer's dedication to a rational critique of social and sexual institutions stands out as an almost old-fashioned affirmation of the power of the human mind to come to grip s with man-made problems.

UBC bookstore $212,492 in red last yea r By SANDI SHREVE A $212,492 deficit for the university bookstore i n 1970-71 was the result of a large five-year inventor y buildup, says assistant manager Bob Smith. Smith said leftover books had to be sold at a los s because they were no longer used for courses and were out of print, so could not be returned to the publishers. Part of the deficit was offset by a $127,972 reserv e from the previous year, said Smith. The remaining $84,700 of the deficit was paid with a loan from UBC's consolidated revenue. Smith told The Ubyssey that most professors ar e now using several paperbacks rather than one major text which means more processing costs while profits remain static. "By the time we get the paperbacks on the shelf w e have lost six cents on each," he said. Smith said the bookstore buys most books fro m publishers at a 20 per cent discount of the retail price. Labor cost is 14 per cent leaving six per cent fo r operating costs. However a random survey made by The Ubyssey showed that four of 13 books examined were bought b y the bookstore at a 40 per cent discount, one at 33 pe r cent and eight at 20 per cent. Four of the five higher discount books wer e paperbacks. Of the 13 books, 12 were foreign texts, some o f which must be bought through Canadian vendors. `Some American publishing firms have agreement s with these vendors not to deal directly with Canadian buyers. "If a book passes through a vendor it gets mor e expensive," said Smith. An American book would sell in the U.S. for $3.2 5 while in Canada the price would be $3.75 a difference of 14 per cent. The difference shown in The Ubysse y survey ranged as high as 30 per cent. "We don't set retail prices on books they are al l manufacuturer's list prices," said Smith. "Freight cost is not passed on to the student. Normally it would be. The cost of purchase is usuall y the cost of merchandise plus freight. " The buyer ordinarily deals with freight charges afte r the order leaves the publisher, said Smith. Some money is saved by consigning orders to a trucking company rather than having the publisher shi p them. The bookstore does not pay freight on sundr y items. Smith said a student-faculty committee is collecting information on bookstore prices for a brief containing criticisms and complaints. It will be presented t o consumer affairs minister Ron Basford. "This brief would get his group to do a more thorough study and legislate on the part of textbook buyers to improve the publishing industry," he said. "Not many college bookstores are making big profits these days because all are under pressure fro m publishing firms." Smith said the bookstore broke even for five years and the loss last year was because of accumulate d inventory. Commerce professor Jim Forbes said the accounting system, is not giving enough information to make i t work. "They still can't control things until they get a decent system," Forbes said Wednesday. The bookstore uses a monthly inventory syste m which states the total sales minus the cost of the goods sold and operating costs, yielding a net profit, said the bookstore committee member. However new stock is continually being purchased. Those purchases cannot be carried over except on a yearly basis, he said. He said one result of this is a large inventor y buildup which accounts for most of last year's deficit. Forbes said an accrual system would be mor e efficient as it provides the necessary monthly purchase, profit and inventory information. The present yearly budget system is going to be pu t on a monthly basis. This will be of little assistanc e without an accrual system, said Forbes. However the immediate problem is clearing up th e present inventory buildup, he said. "Thin will take a while but I am satisfied with th e progress o er the last seven or eight months." Smith vsaid shoplifting losses amounted to more tha n eight per cent last year. Smith said it is impossible to say how effectiv e bookstore detectives are but "we think the advers e publicity we've been getting from The Ubyssey i s stopping the shoplifting more." There is no deadline on paying back the $84,000 loan from UBC. "We are doing everything in our power to clear it up but it won't be this year," said Smith. He said attempts to clear the loan involve increasing the efficiency in the ordering system and speeding th e process of supplying departments and students so sales will increase. The front section of the store, previously used fo r offices, now is a shop selling miscellaneous goods. The 10 per cent faculty discount on boo k purchases and the five per cent student rebates on bookstore purchases will end Dec. 31 this year, said bookstore business consultant Byron Hender. "Last year the bookstore committee saw this as a way of reducing costs without raising book prices. The rebates and discounts equalled $55,000 last year," h e said Wednesday. r
