Excessive wage demands by greedy labor unions were the cause of the double-digit inflation Canada suffered in the early 1970s and, workers unless moderate their demands now that is the AIB program over, inflation will take off once again. That, ina netshell, has been the prevailing wisdom of the Liberal to ingovernments attitude flation. One of the more obvious problems with this argument is, of course, that the anti-inflation mroeram did nothing to curb
inflation, while doing a great deal to cut workers living standards. In June 1978, three years after the AIB came into existence, the cost of living was increasing at an annual rateof 9.2 per cent. Under the control wage program, workers could only expect to get increases in wages of 6 per cent. The Alberta Federation of Labor has recently released a report prepared by Winston Gereluk which examines the relationship between labor and inflation. Labor disputes are usually singled out as one of the main causes of inflation, but Gereluk
noints nut that in 1977 time lost
due to strikes and lockouts was down by 70 per cent. If strikes had had a major influence on inflation, one might have expected to see a drop in the inflation rate; in fact, it increased that year. Gereluk also points to the often-ignored fact that 11.5 times as many days were lost through industrial accidents in Alberta in that same period of time. Victor Rabinovitch, the former director of workplace safety and health in Manitoba, has estimated that $1.5 billion are lost annually through workplace injuries. Despite these facts. little is beinQ done across
the country to upgrade safety standards. Canadian workers are often accused of being overpaid and inefficient comparedto workers in othercountries. The price of imports produced by these cheaper, more efficient foreign workers, however, increased 153.7 per cent since 1972, two and a half times the rateof inflation in Canada. In Canada, inflationhas been greatest in those industries which are capital-intensive, not those using a great deal of labor.

The AMS programs committee has not for the past two years had enough personnel to handle concerts at the War Memorial gym, said Hedstrom.

caused by increases in wages in 1977. Gereluk also says the wages and salaries account for three per cent of the cost of beef in stores. In the field of automobile manufacturing, Gereluk states that Ford of Canadas profits, after taxes, increased 300 per cent while it cut the number of people it employed by 902. In the period from 1970 to 1976, auto workers wages increased by 69.8 per cent while the value of theproducts they produced increased by 138.9 per cent. When profit increases for major corporations are examined, Gereluks points become even clearer. Canada Safeway increased its profits 66.6 per cent last year, Labatts by 20.6 per cent and Brooke Bond Foods by 250 per cent. Wages for Canadians only increased by 6.5 per cent in the period. same Corporate profits as a whole increased by an average of 15.1 per cent last year. The summer past saw a proliferation of strikes across
Canada as workers tried to play catchup on three years of inflation. A part of theirbattle is through the media as they try to convince the public with reports such as Gereluks that they have been the victims and not the villains in the war against inflation.

BOG McGeer's feudal fiefdorn
The Canadian 'establishment' rivals medieval European society with its complex network of interlocking directorships, private schools and clubs - though here the elite inner circle controls not some feudal fiefdom, but this public university. Peter Newman, in The Canadian Establishment, illustrated well the mechanismsof corporate control over Canadian and life, documented the network which wires together the Canadian elites and maintains their authority. UBC is firmly plugged.into this 'club' system. In a feature article Thursday, we traced the corporate connections of board members. The list of prestigious directorships held by board members must make UBC the envy of many of Canada's leading business firms. Indeed, it is becoming a misnomer to name UBC's highest decision-making body the 'board of governors.' It should be renamed the board of directors. Little criticism for this sorry state of affairs can be directed at the university. No doubt administration president Doug Kenny would welcome representation from a wider range of society, if only to counter the financial conservatism of the current board. Business leaders and wealthy lawyers, after all, represent only a thin slice of this province's social strata. A public institution as important as UBC should receive representationfrom awider range of society, if only to counter the financial conservatism of the current board. Business leaders and wealthy lawyers, after all, represent only a thin slice of this province's social strata. A public institution as important as UBC should receive representation from all walks of life in B.C. One omission which is glaringly obvious is the absence of a serious labor voice on the board. If the board is to include such heavy-weights as the former chairman of MacMillan-Bloedel, J. V. Clyne, then it should also have a labor representative of similar stature. There should alsobe far more representation for members of the education profession, both respected educators from UBC and representatives from other educational institutions. The presence Sadie of Boyles, a UBC professor emerita of education, is a step in the right direction but the board needs more people experienced in the education game. Rendina Hamilton, former president of the B.C. School Trustees Association in 1976, also has experience education, in but again is f r o m management's side of the equation. The government should also have appointed a representative of the B.C. Teachers' Federation to represent teachers, who are probably more in touch with the problems of education. In a letter to The Ubyssey two weeks ago, board secretary William White explained that board chairof B.C. manIanGreenwood,alsogeneralmanager Tree Fruits Ltd. and Sun-Rype Products Ltd., was a valued member of the board because he is from the province's interior. White claims Greenwood's presence on the board indicates the university's committment to that region. Fine and good but why must the regional representative always be from business? Because we have a Social Credit government and they appoint those they trust to the board. The situation would be different but not necessarily better if an NDP government was making the appointments. The board would no doubt be more liberal, but it would alsobe stocked withwornout party hacks receiving their reward for long party service. What is needed, perhaps, are elections for more of the board positions. UBC should operate on the democratic system used to elect the board of directors for public hospitals. Students, faculty, staff and people interested in the university could join a'university society' similar to the public hospital societies. An institution such as UBC which has a strong impact on the province be directed by abroader rangeof independent citizens who understand and care about the university.

The Ian !Smith regime made the most of the incident - flying foreign journalists to the scene, allowing them to photograph freely and to send back stories without censorship of the gory details.

New wave is more than music. Its an attitude. Its so. you dont become a victim of future shock, so t:hat youre alwaysriding the wave instead of being hit by it.

Animalisticfrat lampooned successfully onfilm
By DAVE DIXON Animal House is the funniest film t3 hit the screen in thepast year. National Lampoon has reached beyond mediocre the magazine to produce a fast paced, entertaining motion picture with plenty of talent. The movie is set at fictitious Faber College in the year 1962. It revolves around two characters referred to as the Wimp, Thomas Hulce and the Blimp, Stephen first who eventually join a fraternity known as Delta or Animal House. The Deltas are out for a good time. Whether it is in sports where they shoot golf balls at unsuspecting horses, or classes like Dope-smoking 101 taught by Professor Jennings, (Donald Sutherland) the Deltas finda way to make everything just a bit more interesting. Unfortunately villianous the Dean, John Vernon, has a flagrant
dislike of the worst frat oncampus. Their behavior the such as notorious toga party and their gradepoint average of 1.2 outrages the Dean, He tries to throw the Deltas off campus when the Mayors daughter is allegedly molested by a Delta. The ensuing student court succeeds in kicking the off frat campus but only officially. In the homecoming parade they still enter their float complete with the words Eat Me emblazoned in red on the side. The captions at the end of the movie telling the where are they now? story are hilarious and seem to fit the characters perfectly. The movie is filled with many original ancedotes,none of which are excessively revolting, and will amuse anyone with an open mind. Animal House is original, not so much in plotbut in theseparate scenes which have never been so
vividly presented in a college film before. Bluto, played by John Belushi, has the achieved comically disgusting status of an animal. Hes better thanhehas ever been in Saturday Night Live. He steals the show even though his dialogue consists mainly of grunts and ravings. The character of Bluto comes alive in the artistry of his intake of food and his subtle observation of the opposite sex. Even the way he walks leaves apain in ones side. Most importantly, he has spirit. Bluto is not too intelligent but

believes fiercely in his fraternity, even to the end. The partof Professor Jennings is one of the few weak points of the film. This is because the character belongs in the permissive seventies prohibitive not in the morally sixties. Some scenes with Sutherland are humorous but the character is neither well-developed nor suitable for the film. Thedirector,John Landis, has done a good job of blending the many talented although relatively new actors into a polished performing team
Landis previous work, Kentucky Fried Movie, is second rate compared to Animal House. The film runs smoothly even though some symbolism, especially between white black and relationships, seems to falter in its interpretation. Although not a completely accurate comment on fraternities Animal House is a very entertaining film. It is recommended to anyone who enjoys good entertainment. This is National Lampoonat its best - hopefully more films of the same calibre will follow.

The same owl like motion as the head. It was then that Murray realized that wrong. He there was something horribly took a step backward.

Maybe he should go straight to the police. No,there wasnt time. Then there was a sound, somewhere stopping when he felt he was well lost within the maze of counters and shelves where he was just another shopper. But there were no other shoppers. Doesnt anybody shop in the morning in this damned town? He picked up a can opener and pretended to examine it, keeping his head tilted low and away. It was not long before he caught it, at the edge of his field of vision. It was browsing its way towardhim, picking up merchandise, advancing a few steps along the path Murray had taken, setting and the objects down again. It made no difference thatthe electric percolator box that it so carefully read was held upside down, or that it had no idea what a portable mixer was. It was doing what it had seen people doing every day. It was shopping. And getting closer every second. It mimicked the casual distracted look of the browser so well that Murray thought he had succeeded. It was going to walk right by him! Seven feet away. He had just made up his mind to stay put when it began sniffing some of the products it picked up.It was almost as if it were following him by. It stood right next to him, now, and began gnawing one of the cartons,tearing away the corrugated cardboard in long, curling $rips with its shining teeth.

The projectile caught it in the face, just under the right eye. For a moment it seemed imbedded in the glossy pink covering it wore as skin, then popped loose, shattering on the floor. It simply ignored the attack. Murray had never thought that it would really be that simple. He started down the escalator, taking the steps two at a time. People! There were people here on the main floor. But so what? Would it matter to athing like this whether it killed him in public or in private? Would anyone be able to help him if he tried?

It seemed to be pacing him, as if seeking to run him into the ground, to exhaust him before the kill. He could run further. no Something was going to die right here. He turned and crouched between two of the more closely-set planter boxes, waiting,trying to hold his breath enough long to hear something. They came. Thesound of odd, light footsteps.They grew louder, but came further apart, oddly irregular. It was searching. Searching for him. He saw it come,into view and pause just outside the space where Murray crouched, its back to Murray.

When Morin students, told through his press attache,that he would not meet with them, but would speak to a delegate from each region of the province, the students left en masse to attend a meeting to appoint a regional delegate. The occupation was peaceful was part of a throughout and province-wide protest action that has included class boycotts atas many as CEGEPsduringthe past two weeks.

By DOUG TODD There will be as many computers as there are people in the 21st century,a University of California at Berkeley professor said Thursday. There is a population explosion in decision-making machines and nobodys worrying about it, Richard Meier told 140 people in Buch. 106. The number of automata (computers) are increasing at a rate of 40 per cent, while the number of vehicles are only increasing at a rate of two per cent, and machines at a rate of four per cent. This will be a major concern of the 1980s and OS," Meier said. Meier is an expert on community ecology
Automafa boom does not compute and urbanization. Meier said that in the 21st century California will be an outpost of the third world and that B.C. may also be one. In the21st century Californiawill be a prosperousoutgrowth of the ThirdWorld. The majority of students in California are now from theThird World and legal and illegal immigration is predominantly from theThird World, he said. I suspect that B.C. is like California. With your growing oriental population, B.C.may become genetically representative of the other side of the Pacific. Meier also said the worlds carbon dioxide is collecting in central Canada.
The whole worlds carbon dioxide is doing you in, he said. The rest of the world is becoming more importantas it infringes on our environment, Meier said. We need another paradigm so that we can use our intelligence constructively, added. he We dont trust economists, lawyers, social worker types, and systems people. There is no adequate body of theory to tell us what to do. Meier said he believes community ecology has an important role to play in helping us deal creatively with urban life. At community present ecology is underdeveloped, but because it is new and incomplete it will be attractive to the best minds.
A second demonstration occurred simultaneously at Lava1 University in Quebec City. Six hundredstudentsdemonstrated at the campus during a speech by premier Kene Levesque. The aim of the demonstration was to gain recognition for the student aid struggle, an ANEQ spokesman said. ANEQ hold will a special and to congress today Saturday discuss its demands, what form a d it should n o w take, n strategies to be used in negotiating with Morin.

Political Strategies.

The population will suffer in the short run. But even those that formerly supported the government will become so disaffected that conditions will be ripe for a coup. Anew, more popular,government will be installed to save the economy and to restore freedom. In some cases, the army is used as the instrument of oppression. It may be then, that as economic conditions deteriorate, the army will become a more privileged class as in Uganda, with a greater interest in preserving the regime. In that case, any oppression will deepen. Economicchaos has not generally been a fertile ground for democracy. It has often led to the suppression of liberty. In spiteofthisdanger, it is clear that economic stability gives a government an air of success. We feel it can affect the policies Friday, November 24, 1978

Tanzanians are fantastic people. Hodge speaksofthem with the warmth and great respect born 1976, of association. In July of Hodge, who was council president for the 7071 term, found himself on a plane bound for Tanzania. He left three daysafter he handedin his masters thesis to UBCs engineering department. He worked in Africa in a team of ten Canadians for two years on a ground water study by CIDA, the Canadian International Development Agency, an arm of the federal government. Canada has an excellent name (in Tanzania) and its not all deserved, Hodge says. The study Hodge was involved in is a small part of Tanzaniasnational self-help program,Ujamaa, the brain-child of Julius Nyerere. Nyerere has been president of Tanzania since its creation in 1964 when Zanzibar and Tanganyika united and is trying to lead his country to self-sufficency. Its walking a line between the great powers,: says Hodge and picking the best from all of them. Obtaining foreign aid is part of this tightrope act. Nyerere planned to bring in experts in soil, transportation, water andother facets of so that the community planning scattered tribes could be gathered together in the most favorable village locations. Unfortunately the political process got ahead of the practical process says Hodge. Villages had

Hodge was in charge of two drill rigs and travelled around the country drilling for water. Besides a regular crew of two helpers, Hodge was accompanied by several Tanzanian workers who were being trained on job. the Hodge acted as engineer and resource person. The Tanzanians gained practical experience while learning from a professional. The family unit is strong in Tanzaniaall and Tanzanian the workers families travelled with them in the bush. tent A camp could consist of twenty to thirty people carrying all theirpersonal belongings. Hodge admits that this large entourage is not efficient to the western mind. It slows things down, especially when moving from place to place, but it can be more fun. At work the Tanzanians would wear jeans, boots and a shirt, yet lounging at home they would still wear traditional wraparound skirt. With the birth of a new nation and the death of tribal warfarethe traditional role of men has changed quickly and dramatically. N o l o n gwra r r i oa n d e rs defenders, Tanzanian men must find places as workers in the new society. Women are still primarily keepers of home and hearth but change is intruding into their lives as well. Hodge was welcomed by the Tanzanians and accepted even though he was not the same.

But Hodge says, Once people discover it (Tanzania), you wont be able to keep them away. Its so spectacular. In Tanzania Hodge was immersed in an alien culture, so different in fact that the people even think differently. But it is an experience which Hodge appreciates.

South Africa

African South ambassadordrawsfire
By JEFF RANKIN UBC economists and theologians haveviolently criticized a speech given by South African ambassador John Becker Tuesday. The speech, givento aneconomic convention at the Bayshore Inn, centred around the western worlds dependency on South African mineral resources, and thebenefits that the African continent derives from South Africas presence. South Africa is one of the top five mineral-producing countries in the world, said Becker. What distinguishes SouthAfrica in this select group is herextraordinarily large share of world, in particular Free mineral World, resource reserves. Ofevengreatersignificance, he said, we have mobilized these resources to supply. the industrialized mineral-consuming and largely resource-deficient countries of the west. Becker went on to list numerous minerals and raw materials for countries virtually capital requirements internally, are import which the U.S.A. and the CECD said Becker,and can, if necessary, dependent,suchasplatinumand maintain reasonable a economic palladium. of It should be clear to all, said growth without any net inflow Becker, that the concentration of foreign capital.

Johnson also said that he was doubtful that South Africa would be able to keep on developing without future western investment, as Becker had claimed. To me it is very questionabk whether wouldable they be to maintain their police state and military without the prop of continued investment, western said Johnson. Economics professor Stuart Jamieson also had some comments on the speech. Interestinglyenough,said
Jamieson Thursday, Becker identifies South Africa as a part of thefreeworldwhich is a strange term to use for a country that keeps four-fifths of its population in subjugation. Jamiesonsummedupthemain body of the speech as saying you need us, so you bloody well better matter what you support us, no said think of apartheid.Buthe that argument the that we must support the present government to of maintain a stable supply resources does not hold water. This stability argument can be turned around, he said, in that maintaining the existing system of apartheid is maintaining an explosive situation. Concerning the ambassadors constant reference to economic reality, Jamiesonsaid thatwhat he (Becker) refers to as economic realities are strictly facts andfigures concerning the output of South African industry. Nothing on division of labor and income, nothing Ion the fact that per capita income of whites is something like 20 times that of blacks. Or that the vast majcority of blacks are kept in conditions of poverty. economic In view of those realities theambassador neglected to mention, said Jamieson, it is amazing to read the final paragraph of his speech transcript. The paragraph Jamieson referred to reads thus: May I conclude by saying that as far as our beliefs and values are concerned, we in South Africa have a high regard for such matters as the maintenance and advancement of national identities, freedom of religion and opportunity the for own individuals to pursue their Turn to PF 16

I believe the vast fact, In majority of Blacks and a very significant proportion of Whites are for neither of theseextremes. These are all factors on which a solution can be built. No good can come of making the Whites of SouthAfrica feel that world opinionis so consistently and so blindlyhostile that theyhave nothing more to lose, and might as well ignore it. And it must be of recognized thatmixture the cultures and living standards in that complex constitute land real problems which no one else has Not even been able to solve.

Since independence primary school enrolment has doubled to 1.3 million, secondary enrolment has tripled to 10,000 andmorethan 400,000 adults are involved in literacy classes. Due to the massive problems facing Machel at home he has not yet exerted the sameinfluence upon Africa as a whole as have his colleagues such as Nyerere, Kaunda or Leopold Senghor of Senegal. But many expect him to be one of the great African leaders of the future. of Africa's Although many leaders of the past and present have been weak and ineffectyal or dictatorial, others made have lasting contributions to their countries and the world. Most African heads of state are leaders of single party systems or military governments. But this does not mean that they are all dictators. Nyerere, Kaunda and Machel are among those who head single party democracies. This means that they have chosen to accept a certain political viewpoint, in most cases socialism, and have disallowed parties opposed to other forms of political theories. Although may fit this not the western concept of democracy it appears to have been quite effective in many Africannnations.In developing countries there is little or no time for the often frivolous debate which comes from a multiparty system.

Beyond the strict government race regulations on marriage, work, education, travel, sexuality and the electorate, there are the hidden persuaders of the humanmind like the state controlled media. The national television service, SABC, has been in operation since 1976 when the government lifted its 30-year ban on TV. SABC is hardly an objective news service and during any race riots or disturbances that it covers, there is no attempt to quote or interview the demonstrators.Thusimportant issues are never discussed or even presented to SABC viewers.
