Student Housing, told THE MUSE "It's simply impossible to say for sure that things are going to get critical until Friday or Saturday."
This is because a lot of senior students who register late in the week have not yet (at press time) shown up looking for a place to live.
Over the summer, housing loomed ~ a major problem students would hav~ to deal with this fall, as it beca11e apparent that enrollment was going to reach near record levels. J'd'UN's enrollment defied all trends this .,war by increasing despite a
simultaneous increase in tuition and residence fees.
Tuition this year has gone up to $380 from $345 last year. A double room in residence with a full meal plan costs $848 this year over $758 last year.
The expected 10% population increase will push enrollment over 10,800, making 1981 the second biggest year for MUN. In 1972 enrollment BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND points to drastic measures university must totalled 10,980. take in order to accommodate large influx of students. Attacking the

Referenda plentlful In fall Going to the polls will probably
become a habit for MUN students this year, as the CSU has tentative plans for no less than four referenda to take place probably this fall.
Whether they will all be held at the same time or at intervals has not yet been discussed, but council is determined to bring questions on raising the Health Plan fee, raising the Student Union fee, joining a provincial student organization, and joining a national student organization.
The Health Plan is pretty definite. For this semester at least it is going to
·remain at $5.00 per student, but Council President Leo Power wants to hold a referendum to permit an increase in the winter of about two or three dollars.
"It has to go up", said Power at last Wednesday's Council meeting. Last year the company who has the Health Plan policy (Lacey, Stoyles, Inc.) lost "three or four thousand dollars", and the only way for the plan to keep operating is if the pot is sweetened.
Another referendum will involve the still-fledgeling Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Students. Vice-President External Sonya Ab- · .... ·bott, who has responsibility for the
MUN's involvement in organizations such as these, said that the N .L.F .S. ' question will probably remain in limbo until the student councils from the other post-secondary institutions ' in the province become organized . enough to examine the idea. The two other post-secondary institutions in town, the Trades College and the College of Fisheries, agreed earlier this year to hold referenda this fall on the new organization, but student representatives aren't elected until after classe~ start and may need time before tackling the NLFS.

· the question of raising Student Union fees. Although it hasn't yet been discussed thoroughly by council, Power made the case for higher fees at the council meeting.

Sometime during this year there will have to be a referendum on MUN's membership in a new national student organization, the Canadian Federation of Students. The CFS will be an amalgam of two present organizations, the National Union of Students and the Association of Student Councils.

Women's Centre finally started ~n campus
byMARTHAMUZYCHKA . After an unsuccessful attempt to
establish a Women's Centre on Campus last year, MUN's female students seem to be suffering an embarrassment of riches with no less than two women's groups in the process of being organized. A centre and a women's discussion group have been proposed to promote and encourage an interest in women's issues.
The CSU has tried once again to reestablish the women's centre, begun last year by then VP Internal Jeannie Johnston, and has ratified it as a campus organization. According to Donna Hardy, the present VP Internal, the Centre will get going sometimg in the very near future.
Hardy is working on getting a room for the centre but space is at a premium and rooms are hard to come by. However, Hardy has "a lead on one for October" so it is hoped that it will become a reality. One of the reasons for the failure of the Women's Centre last year was the lack of a regular meeting place.
The CSU sponsored Women's Centre is receiving a lot of support from the Advisory Council for the Status of Women as well as support from various students.
The other women's group on campus is a discussion group meeting tor weekly sessions. Dr. Elaine Davis of the Counselling Centre is the Coordinator for the group but not for long. "It should be a leaderless group as such and as it concerns the women it's up to them to decide its direction". Furthermore, Davis only plans to hold sessions for six weeks as she will be teaching a yoga course for the rest of the term. However if enough interest is generated perhaps the group will continue to meet on its own.
The discussion topics will vary and have not been decided upon yet. "The topics will depend upon the people in_
Air apparent in -tSc, Slealeway
Students will breathe easier at the news that they now have control of the Thomson Student Center ventilation system. Also, the Breezeway will be a better place to breathe as two new fans are being installed.
Previously, ventilation in the T .S.C .. was programmed to go on regularly for 20 minutes and off for 10, regardless of what was going on in the building. This meant so~e pretty stuffy times at bashes. The department of Physical Operations is going to install a control switch for the ventilation in a place where the CSU can have access to it, meaning tnat at concerts, exams and similarly crowded events, the ventilation will be on full tilt.
The Breezeway, which is presently serviced by two pathetic fans, is receiving $7,500 from · the Administration for more powerful and effective fans.
There is an air conditioning system installed in the Breezeway, but it was only used once for 20 minutes, turning out to be too expensive to keep in use.
the group" said Davis, but some of the topics will include: what it's like to be a woman in today's world, where we're going, our identity".
Like the CSU, this is not the first time for such a group to be set up. In her second semester · here at MUN, Davis tried to set up a similar group in the Spring Semester of 1980. However it was not successful.
The time and place have not been decided upon because Davis would like to hear from students and get their schedules in order to find the most convenient time for all. Davis was pleased to hear of the new attempts to establish a Women's Centre on campus and it is hoped that there will be interaction between the two groups. Anyone interested in joining or helping these two groups should contact either the Counselling Centre and/or Donna Hardy in the CSU.
In addition to the.se women's groups, the History Department is also offering in History 1000 two slots· on the History of the North American Women's Suffrage Movement. A seminar course is also scheduled for the Winter Semester dealing with some aspect of feminism. Interested . people should contact Dr. Kealey in the History Department.

Powder Blues, Teenage head . . .
highlight. entertainment for fall BY KARL MOORES
The new student council has placed entertainment at a high priority this semester, and according to Executive Vice President Charlie Hutton, there should be something for everyone to get involved in. The CSU are promising quite a variety of events, beginning with Orientation Week which will consist of tours of St. John's, lunch hour concerts, movies, wet and dry dining hall dances, wet and dry Wonderful Grand Band concerts and a lot of other really neat things (see the schedule).
But the party doesn't end with Orientation Week - the CSU is planning to spend about $100,000 on entertainment this semester. The majority of this figure (about $80,000) will go towards bringing in some big bands. The Powder Blues Band will be appearing this semester, as will Teenage Head on October 15th and 16th., also two English bands known as the Villains and the Equators, and last but not least, Doug and the Slugs. According to Hutton there is also a po~sibility that the Monks will come, but that hasn't been finalized yet. Apparently the CSU was very close to booking Cheap Trick for September 10 - 12 in the Stadium, but due to the American air traffic controllers strike transportation costs proved to
. be too high and the band cancelled at the last moment.
Although these bands will cost a lot of money to bring in, ticket sales and bar profits should enable the CSU to break even. Hutton did express concern that bar profits will be down this semester because of recent price hikes in beer and the recent decision by local breweries not to supply free beer to their customers. Since liquor prices at CSU sponsored ·events stand
at $1.00 for beer and $1.35 for drinks, a price increase is 'ossible. Also if the dry events prove to be money losers, as they have in the past, they will probably be phased out.
The up-coming Winter semester's· entertainment depends on how successful the CSU is this semester. If the · events are popular, next semester could see even bigger names like
Cheap Trick, Rickie Lee Jones. Bruce Springstein and Martha and the Muffins. . Booking these bands depends upon other universities in Atlantic Canada however as block bookings can then take place. If this semester's entertainment isn't successful, next semester will see a large decline in entertainment expenditure.
Class boycott planned September 30th is the tentative date tStudents attending a conference in
for a mass boycott of classes and a Ottawa will approach their respective march on Confederation Building to Members of Parliament about federal protest Federal Government cut- cutbacks and what they can do to backs in post-secondary education, help.
... V.P. External Sonya Abbott said at Wednesday's Council meeting that at L 1 f an anti-cutbacks conference in .. a • • ••. Halifax last August, several Atlantic universities agreed to simultaneously I cl protest the cutbacks by boycotting . 1"'G Y8 classes on Wednesday the 30th for half a day, (Probably from 12:00 to 3:00).
The federal government, which funds post secondary institutions
through the Established Programs Financing Act, wants to cut $1.5 million from the post secondary education section of the program . . Also funded Hy EPF are the social and
medical services of a province. But since the province is not specificallr told how to use the money it receives for the three areas, often money is diverted from education. This is what . happened in Newfoundland.
These walkouts will be supplemented by a mass demonstration sometime during October 15-19. Delegates to the National Union of

People who registered late for Spring Semester won't have to pay the customary $25.00 late penalty.
This announcement, which came from CSU president. Leo Power at last Wednesd.ay's council meeting, is of particular interest to work term students who feel burned for having to pay the fee.
In the past this particular .regulation has not been strictly .en-.._ forced, but this year the ad-ministration decided to crack down on stragglers. Since virtually no notice was given of the move, council felt it a bit unfair and made representations to the admhµstration to waive it this time around.

Parking Unfair QY Martha Muzychka
Parking for ·students on campus appears to be a perennial problem. There isn't much available close to the heart of campus (most students can't afford the $70 + fee) and what is available like the engineering lot is gone in a matter of days.
However there is one option for students and that is using the parking meters. They're perfect for the student who only occasionally has a car or who has a couple of , classes and really doesn't need a permit.
But how perfect is it? MUN parking meters accept only quarters with one per 45 minutes, (classes are 50; another drawback) three for three hours, and if it expires you could end up with a $5 fine. Compare this with the ones downtown: they accept nickels, dimes and quarters; 5 cents will get you either 12 minutes or a half hour and a quarter will get you two hours. And if your meter expires. you pay only $2.50. Or even the airport: prices per hour were unavailable but the fines are only $2.
It seems than that somewhere, somehow, someone or something is getting a lot of money from MUN, especially with the meters. Personally I think if you are guilty of a traffic violation you should pay it but only if it is fair. After hearing for years how MUN is part of the St. John's
·community, it is astonishing to see that MUN is a separate jurisdiction, able to dictate the cost of the fines, regardless of other costs elsewhere. The idea of "separate but equal" obvio~~ly does not apply here.
I don't think that it is right that there are such differences throughout the city, nor do I think it right that it is the MUN student (and anyone else who comes here and uses the meters) who ends up paying the most expensive fine.
However this will all change soon. City Hall is trying to get legislation that will permit them to charge a higher fine for meter ·violations (around $10) so perhaps we are lucky. Apparently while the average meter person may give out 15,000 tickets per year (a very ro~gh _estimate) for the PMV's, not everyone is paying them.
Nevertheless, whether or not it is changed doesn't matter. The question now is why was such a disparity permitted at MUN and will they ever try to get the city united under at least one law so there is some equality among the fines?
Running the risk of a $5 fine is too much to accept, especially under the conditions at MUN. And as students are notoriously poor, it would have been at least a kind gesture to have made the parking meter fine the _same as downtown, even if it meant leaving the other high fines as they were.

I would like to congratulate the members of Memorial University's staff who are responsible for the additions to Burton's Pond. Having a population of water fowl inhabit the island and surrounding waters is an idea that was long overdue. I expect the birds will be put away over the winter. I hope that next summer will once again see the wilds of Burton's Pond full of such graceful wildlife.

Dear Editors: Lautrec and'Gershwin were
having a great time. Lautrec was chainsmoking filtered cigarettes and had started on his second bottle of Pernod.
George thought television was a fantastic creation and persisted on having it at top volume while both of them were eating me out of house and home. Lautrec thought everything was hilariously funny. He almost choked on his Pernod (with laughter) when I told him I knew a few artists. He said he had never wanted to be a painter, but a fencer; instead it hadn't worked out. Gershwin was always sticking his head out the window and shouting obscenities at the neigh-
bourhood children, scaring the shit out of them. I was pissed off with the two of them so I took a dozen beer and six joints up on the roof where I eventually fell into my recurring Zeppelin dream. The explosion whoke (sic) me up pretty fast. I was hopeing (sic) that Lautrec and Gershwin had been consumed by the flames but I soon saw them on the neigh bour's lawn fighting about who could use the Polaroid (the only thing they rescued from the house).

The new ~library-- a MUSE preview by Peter Jackson and Gerry Porter
= For about the past three
years, students at Memorial have been w a tch~ng the gradual erection of the new Queen Elizabeth II library on campus. Finally, over this fall semester of '81, the finishing touches in interior decorating will be completed and the doors should be open before Christmas. Before the end of the winter semester in '82 the library will be completely stacked up and in full operation.
The library was originally intended to cost $7 million and so far it has not gone over budget. The financing for its
. construction was provided by the Anniversary Fund supplemented by the provincial government, and by $800,000 of ~tudent money originally designated to a student union building.
The Queen Elizabeth II Library is five stories high and contains 200,000 sq. feet of space. Its capacity is approximately four times that of the old library with well over twice the reading area accommodation of the old main and Education libraries combined. This includes over twenty "Research Typing . .. Rooms" on each floor and a multi-leveled reading area along the entire north face of the building. There are also various conference rooms on each floor. The new MUN bookstore (with the same old prices) will be located on the ·
first level. Up-to-date computer and audio-visual ser-.' vices will also be available.
The Queen Elizabeth II Library will be one of the bigger and certainly the most modern libraries across Canada. Featured here is a MUSE photo preview of what's to come.

The CSU, through Donna Hardy, the VP Internal, has applied for a special grant set up by the government for the International Year of Disabled Persons. The grant, which is worth up to $2500, if received, would be used to fund the installation of a ramp in the Chemistry Caf so disabled students

"H we get it, the CSU will raise the . rest of the money through a benefit dance," said Hardy. She added that it would be at least two weeks before they know if they have received one.
In other related news, it was learned that the special bus service for disabled MUN students would be started as soon as classes begin Tuesday, Sept. 8. The service was oppesed by the Consumer

"Find us a note and it's done.?' "Ya sure," replied the co-editor. "I'll
try." Try is all he could do for the office was a complete mess. Things tend toget that way when three reporters share a desk.
"We don't need a notepad Byrne, we can write our notes on each others faces," said Red, with a voice like a rusty chainsaw.
"But one of us may not come out alive from this assignment, Red. And I don't want to have to transcribe notes from your corpse."
"Here you go," said the Co-editor, handing Byrne a notebook.
"And a pen. We need a pen," demanded Red. "How do you expect us to write a (expletive deleted) pub crawl without a pen."
The two senior reporters, Byrne Doubt and Red Sativa, left the office to begin 'research' on a pub crawl for ·people who like to drink serious. The intent of the assignment being what it was, plus the fact that it was 1:00 p.m., gave them ample reason to skip the Breezeway~
"Anyone who has to do their drinking in the Sleazeway must have a limited concept of a proper personal. social drinking image," said Byrne.
"Yuuuuumph," belched Red. He was wearing a plaid tie around his face. It concealed a tube going from a bottle of Jack Daniel's in his jacket to his mouth.
''Where should we start the Hand and Knee Dance with Occasional Facial Contact on Cement, Red? ''At the Playhouse, or at Sherlock's?"
"Eee hood caert hat de flayhose." "What?" "Eee sould ... " "Take off that ridiculous tie." ''Hoo.'' Red took off the tie and
spilled a small drop of Jay Dee's over it before he lit a match to it and threw the tie in a counciHor's office.
"We should ,start at the Playhouse," said Red as he nodded his head eastward.If we go to Sherlock 's the only places we have to go from there is the Traveller's , then , he old Fort Lounge, in Bonavista.'' .
" OK. The Playhouse it is . We can rip a few paintinga from the gallery .'~
The two walked over to the Arts and Culture Centre chugging down the bottle of Jack Daniel's. When they
· finished, Byrne laid the bottle in the front fender of John Perlin's car. When the car was started and moved ahead, the bottle would fall, break, and give a nice cultural flat.
When they sat down in the bar, they each ordered nine quadruple zombies.
"Need some food," said Byrne. "Better order some Labatt Specials. We can throw away the beer and eat the sandwiches."
Red had eaten a sandwich and had two Zombies before he snarled, "Let's leave this place, it gives me tunnetpsychosis. '' It looked as lf someone was squeezing a pair of tongs against his temples. ·
Forgetting abou~ the pain-tings in the gallery, they carried the remaining six
zombies down to the Act Ill restaurant. Red laid them on a table where three, members of the 1.0.D.E. were sitting,smelling, and talking about their inherent wealth.
"Here Ladies. Get Pissed! It'll do your monarchial asses some good," said Byrne.
They got chased out of the centre by a security guard who was yelling, cursing, laughing and crying at the same time.
"Where do we go from here?" ''Well the logical thing to do is to go
east, right?'' Let's go to Ben's and drink about it." They entered Big Ben's and were
immediately overcome with an over. powering urge to consume alcohol. "150 proof rum, NOW!" said Red as he lay on the bar.
"Give us alcohol, or give us death! Well, maybe some hallucinogens would suffice," said Byrne. They grabbed their drinks and crawled under a bourbon--coloured light bulb to discuss their pians.
"We'll soon be in the heart of liquorcity," said Byrne thinking about the multitude of bars that exists between Quidi Vidi village and the West End Club. "But let's not go out to Quidi Vidi, I .hate having to go to the outhouse to smoke a joint.''
''We -could go to the Village Lounge or the Four Aces but Nilways feel out of place there. Domini and Old Sam make me sick. Besides, we're too young to go drinking in the gutter."
"Let's go to 1he Holiday Inn bar, or the Killick and the Admiral's Keg," said Byrne, "and beat up all the capitalist pig elitists and salesmen."
"Let's just walk in the general direction of more alcohol," said Red, tucking a chair inside his coat. "We'll need this when we get inside the Corner Tavern, we can use it for barter."
They left the bar and trudged forlornly up the hill towards the Corner Tavern. All that drove them on· was driving courage and an everconsuming desire to drink more, and more, and more. Don't forget these guys aren't just men of steel - they ' re 'students.
Soon they approached the seedy looking building. " Wow!" exclaimed Red, "that's the first time I've ever seen a bar constructed totally of seeds. We'd better go in there."
The building turned out to be a home for Unwed Fathers Who Have To Drink
To Forget Their Past. Red gave them the chair to be amiable while Byrne exchanged limericks with a 16 year old. After being hit up six times for a quarter, they left.
"Where do we go now, down to the Grad House, or over towards Finnegan's ·and Bridget's?" murmured , Byrne.
"Let's skip Finnegan's and Bridgett's, the crowd from the Fisheries College hang out there during the day while they skip classes. And the Grad House is simply too mellow. They aren't even open Saturday nights," Red retorted.
"Well, let's go to Maxwell's," suggested Byrne.
Maxwell's wasn't so bad. The prices . , . were cheap, only $3.10 for Byrne's Tuborg and Red's Old Stock. The ceiling reminded them of their dirty newspaper office, but the floor was 'carpeted. The entertainment consisted
• of the people who played the music on the jukebox which had only two year old commercial hit songs.
They left the old ·Royalton and headed towards the place of troughs and Trotsky, the Cochrane Lounge. They sat in every chair to make sure they sat in the place where Trotsky had. Red was talkjng to a dissident when Byrne gave him a tug of the arm.
r
"Come on. The ~abaret!" "OK, salut!" To get to the Cabaret they just had to
step over the regulars at the Harbour Inn~ They ordered a few vodkas and went out on the balcony. There they met some locals who were V{illing to share their smokeabtes.
"I wouldn't want to stay here for inore than one;'' said Byrne draining his drink.
Walking down Duckworth, they
passed a gas thief and his apprentices. "Want to try the Hillview?" "No .. They have Sunday School
chairs," said Red. '"Cheap but no class." from there they continued west on Duckworth. They walked into Sir
I J:lumphrey's.
''This place looks like a dehydrated Strand," said Red.
"Ya. it looks like a dead Rumrunner," relied Byrne as they walked out through the port-holed door.
Exhausted by their search for a decent club to get properly pissed, the two reporter-researchers went down to the East End Club to revive their blood alcohol levels. Vety ·cheap. Very sleazy.
From there they walked up St . John's Lane. Byrne had his first fall. Red helped him up. They went into Brandy's. Byrne to the bathroom, Red to the bar.
When Byrne finally came out of .the
.. can he was suddenly attacked by three old ladies. Red dropped his scotch and ran over to help. He ripped off one of the old ladies dresses and pushed Byrne out the door.
''All I can remember is the smell of baby powder and white gloves," said Byrne nursing a cut on his elbow.
"Shit man, they were the same three old ladies we saw at the Act Ill," said Red. Let's go to the Ship and have a drink so your cut will heal."
The $hip Inn was obviously a cliche media bar. The owner was at the bar wearing dark glasses. Fortune magazine was next to Decks Awash and the CBC mug was given a better position on the rack than the Canada AM mug. Byrne and Red had a drink out of every third bottle at the bar. "there were 46 different kinds of booze.
" Man let's leave," said Red finishing off his Bacardi and coke. " I can' t handle the lrerish elevator musak they play here. "
Outside they came to the Sidetracked. There were footsteps painted on the ground going in the front door. ·
"I heard it is a nice place, but I'm not going into a bar where the footsteps don't come out," said Byrne. "Let's go to Martha's.
On the way to Martha's the two pas~ed . ·by the Alley, a Friend's satellite, and the King's Head, a hangout for foreign sailors.
Byrne ordered a triple rye and coke aod Red ordered a triple Morgan on ice. They went up to the games room and looked at the Space Invaders game until they passed out.
Next week: Red and Byrne head for the George St. Strip.

If one were to generalize about the complex network of power and prestige that runs this_university, it could best be put by saying that the more C?Stensibly powerful and prestigious the position on the ladder, the less real work is required. Moreover, the higher echelons of university government have very little to do with the very purpose of the university - that is the pursuit of knowledge.
This apparent contradiction stems from the fact that the actual structure of university government has not changed appreciably since medieval times, and the feudal concepts of hierarchy still cling tenaciously to the system. While
'. the gowns and solemn ceremonies are supposedly paying homage to respected ancient traditions, the theoretical ladder of power is qui.te outdated:
It would be_ impossible for us in the space we have to do an exhaustive study of the actual process of decision making in the administration, so we will just try to outline the theoretical powers of the various bodies and individuals, and how they are u~ed in reality.
THE BOARD OF REGENTS Theoretically the single most
powerful decision making body ·of the university, the Board of Regents (at some institutions the Board of Governors) is, according to the Memorial University Act, charged with "the manageme~t, administration and control of property, revenue, business and affairs of the University."
Specifically, the Board has the power to appoint the President, deans, Hbrarian, registrar and all manners of professors, as well as set salaries and durations for these positions. It has the power to ~ establish the Faculty Councils and other bodies within the University and give them form, power and duties in discipline and other matters. The Board is further in-.. structed to "fix and determine and collect all fees and char9es to be paid to the University:
The Board of Regents also has the dubious responsibiJity to "exercise disciplinary jurisdiction over students of the, University with power to fine, suspend or expel," and also acts as a board of appeal for disciplinary action taken by other bodies of the University.
What makes these sweeping powers so incongruous with the nature of the Board of Regents is the fact that membership on the Board is made up (for the most .part) of non-academics. In fact the lions share of seats (the 17 appointed by the Lieutenant Gvernor

friends with people in very high places, and his presence can turn the gazes of thse people to our humble institution. For example, last year a half-million dollar donation to the Anniversary Fund by the Iron Ore Company of Canada was thought to have been facilitated by the close
-personal friendship between ' Desmarais and 1.0.C. President .Brian Mulrooney.

.. elite. More millionaires have served on the Board than on any other body in the province.
There are also six members elected by the MUN Alumni Association and a grand total ·of two token students.
Automatically members of the Board are the Vice-President and President of the University, and the ·Chancellor. The Chancellorship is an interesting position to look at because it is a completely powerless figurehead position. Yet the Chancellor is the person one must kneel in front of before one receives that hard-won
Friday, September 4, 1981
somewhat like the Canadian Senate or the British House of Lords: .it. merely rubber stamps decisions made earlier by more competent (hmmm) bodies. The only tangible duty the Board seems to be good at is acting as a cushion between the University and the Government, however it is hard to determine whether any cushion can prevent the mindnumbing cutbacks in store for the University.
THE SENATE The highest academic body at
MUN is the Senate. It is made up of the deans of faculties, members of departmen~s, the President (who acts as chairman), the VicePresidents, the Chancellor (popular fellow), trye Deputy Minister of Education and Youth, one member from each institution associated with Memorial, the Registrar, the Librarian, and a gaggle of others selected by the Senate. Students fare better on the Senate then on the Board of Regents - six undergraduate and two graduate representatives -but are ~till in hopeless minority.
The Senate must vote on au changes in the University regulations. These · changes may be moved by a senator, but more often they are instigated by a senate subcommittee, generally the Senate Committee on Undergraquate Studies (CUGS) or the Committee on Graduate Studies (CGS). A certain amount of power is delegated to these Studies Committees by the Senate, which is simply notified of their decisions. The committees deal with such matters as course changes and course offerings.
Changes in the University regulations, however, must still be made by the Senate as a whole. The Committees are likely to do much of the debate and paperwork on the changes, ·but the senators must vote on them, either approving them, moving amendments, or sending them back to the committee responsible.
Proposals can also come to the attention of the Senate by way of the Faculty Councils or their Academic Committees. Recommendations are sent to the secretary of the Senate, who may inform the Senate, or more often pass them on to the more appropriate studies committee, who will work on them and send them back to the Senate for approval. It is a complex process, but it does provide for some creativity in the decision making process, and the student representation is welcome.
Friday, September 4, 1981
FACULTY COUNCILS Most of the actual work on
academic regulations is done by the Faculty Councils, whose job is to "approve for recommendation to the senate, all regulations, courses and programs of study, and to discuss and make recommendations upon any other academic matters affecting the faculty.''
There are six of these councils - one each in Arts, Science, Education, Junior Division, Engineering and Medicine. Members in each faculty include all professors and lecturers in that faculty, as well as the President,
the Vice-President Academic, the Registrar and •a handful of students.
As we have noted about the university power structure, the less power vested In a position, the more work is done. While the Faculty Councils do most of the background work on acade~ic · regulations, they are still subject to the final authority of the -Senate. But while the provision for a Senate veto is there it is not often
. employed, and the Senate usually rubber stamps Faculty Council recommendations. The relationship here is much the same as between the Board of Regents and the whole university - very few recommenations are overturned. (This tendency backfired once for the Board when in 1972 they sheepsihly accepted thenpresident Taylor's directive that the collection of student union
fees be halted. This resulted in the student occupation of the Arts Building and the subsequent embarrassment of having to rescind a decision.)
A Faculty Council is the one only University body where students can seriously have a say in the direction of the University, and not surprisingly it is a body quite powerless to make final decisions. However it can be a medium of student influence well worth the sacrifice of a few hours a week.
STUDENT GOVERNMENT The feudal fantasy that university
government represents is no better exemplified than in the role students (the majority) )>~Y: very
I
-_./ /'
.close to zero. There is a Student's Union represented by an elected council (the CSU) t)ut its actual power is virtually insignificant. The most the council can do on any academic matter is present briefs, make presentations and mumble indignantly when they are ignored. The Council has rarely had any real say in policy· making, and unfortunately insufficient student input prevents that situation from changing. The Student's Council is made up of a President, four VicePresidents, (Executive, Academic, Internal and External), and a host of councillors from various wards, all totalling 23 people·. The closest the Student's Union gets to power is its representation · on the University governing bodies, which except perhaps for the
Faculty Councils, amounts to litHe more than token representation.
In fact the only recent expression of student power, lastwinter' s occupation of the Parkway, was instigated by a few independent students, and had nothing to do whatsoever with the CSU, the student's representatives. Even after council assumed the exhausting task of negotiations and trying to maintain the occupation, there was still. needless divisions and petty politicking by some factions.
What the CSU can do, and does . do quite well, is provide students
with various services and entertainment. With your $17 union fee you get to pick up a copy of the Muse every week, hear MUN Radio, get_ involved in intramural
·.
-sports, join a club, be part of a health plan, receive legal aid, hear speakers and have entertainment arranged lor you. The CSU is quite welt equipped to handle basically, the extra-curricu1ar activities and many of the problems of students, but it is dismally weak when it comes to tangible influence with the administration, and as seen last October, not quite conscious enough to mobilize students against injustice.
ADMIN. HACKS There is no cut and dried line of
command or power in the governing system, ang it is sometimes easy to forget that it is not "bodies'·' that make decisions but people. Probably the single most powerful person is the President, who up until this year was Mose
.Page 13
•
Morgan.. Since his successor, former Academic Vice-President Les Harris has been around for so long and is regarded as a protege of Morgan, we can expect somewhat the same style of governing, which is quiet, unassuming and non-confrontational, but nevertheless highly influential. The President sits on practically every committee, and it is these lower level committees which, as we have said, do most of the work ·which is eventually ratified by Senate and
. the Board of Regents. Thus the President is there when most of the decisions are made ..
Another· one-man-institu.tion · of. ~ - '
<;~mpu.s Ls_ Doug_ EatQn, the Dean of Student Affairs. He is listened to because of his many years ex-
-perience with, and his uncanny knowledge of students. He has been accused of using this
· knowledge to keep the students in line more than help them, but it is more plausible to assume that his -knowledge is valuable in helping students cope with the system.
So, except as representatives on certain committees,· students have very little say in what happens to them at MUN, and indeed most students would be content to pass through university without making so much as a ripple. Last year it required an event of tragic horror to shake students out of their apathy, but it did prove that students can act collectively- and responsibly for change, and can take charge in matters affecting them.

Prof's novel doing -well It is difficult enough to get a
novel published, much less get it read, but a MUN prof seems to have accomplished both.
Dr. Odysseus Tsagarakis of the Classics department has had his first novel, titled Open Roads, published in the United States, and it is being greeted with a respectable measure of praise. The novel, which is set in Tsagarakis' birthplace of Crete, is centered around Christiana, a young woman whose life in a small village is thrown into disarray because of the discovery · that she has breast cancer, and the stigma she must cope with after she has a mastectomy. The story traces her
. painful . crawl towards the realization of her self-worth and ·the reawakening of hope.
)
"This book should do a lot of good," Tsagarakis told The Muse. "It deals with human problems pertinent to our o~n lives." He is particularly concerned with the emotional aspects of dealing with cancer, and the general comment on the human spirit which can be drawn from this. ·
Tsagarakis does not claim to have any particular literary influence, but says he is fond of the work of Erich Segal, who wrote Love . Story (and is also a classicist), and of course the ancients, who addressed "universal problems which we can. still relate to today". "Most writers today deal with isoiated•experiences and topics,,, he says. "This book presents a simple human experience wh~ch _can be applicable .
to all of us." Tsagarakis says he would prefer
critical praise to widespread popularity for his novel, as it is a distinctly literary venture, but he is receiving acclaim from quite diverse directions: the Canadian Cancer Society loved it, as well as the Greek community in New York (he wrote the book in Greek and had it translated). A local reviewer has compared the work to that of· the most famous m.odern Greek writer, Nikos Kazansakis (who wrote Zorba the Greek).
Tsagarakis has · almost completed a sequel to Open Roads and plans to finish the story as ,, a trflogy. ,
Open Roads is available from the MUN Booksto're in hard cover.

the movie, actually I found the movie quite funny and some part~ made me laugh to te,ars but personally I thought the movie was going to be an antiwar, anti-military movie like the incredibly funny M* A *S*H.. instead the movie featured the stereotype man-ea.ting sergeant and the usual hoary recruits. Some scenes in the
· movie were so pro-military that they were sickening for a pacifist like me.
Bill Murray is a down-on-his-luck bum who just lost his live-in girlfriend and so influenced by the glamour life army commercials on television he and his closest buddy decide to join the army~ The movie deals with his unit's basic training and their assignment in Italy. Luckily, for most of the movie, Bill Murray remains his unconventional self, although towards the end he becomes part of the army's machine.
. The movie is funny but don't go expecting an anti-military film; even the American filmmakers are becoming conservative - too bad.

Outside a small sparrow flew quickly alongside the bus. Its wings beat vigorously up and down to keep pace. But finally its energy was drained and it fell back out of the sight of the sad man.
Today there was a strange look in his eyes, a crazy, lost twist that seemed to place his thoughts on a level somewhere below reality.

Although Long Distance Voyager has its faults, . it also has its good points. Several songs are competently written with both good lyrics and music (a rarity these days) and only suffer from having a bit too much production mixing. The Voice, 22,000 Days, Veteran Cosmic Rocker and In My World are typical Moody Blues. The rest are not bad but they could have been better.
This isn't a bad album (considering what's on the market) but it isn't great either. However, a definite must for Moody Blues fans and for anyone who enjoys good listenable music for a _change.

Several songs are swamped with back-up vocals dubbed and over-dubbed which cloud the lead vocals, thus losing much of what is really quite lovely music. This LP is like having too much sugar in your coffee; it's sweet but after a while you get sick of it. PROFESSIONAL HAIR CME FOR MEN & WOMEN

Farley Mowat will oe there as well as the director of the film, Andy Thomson.
The film, which was finished last year, promises to be controversial as it will look at the effect of Mowat's book People of the Deer had upon the Eskimo in the North. Another of Mowat's books A Whale for the Killing (a bit closer to home) will also be explored.
Statistics show that Mowat has sold more books than any other Canadian writer and as one of the country's most widely read authors, he claims to "never let the facts interfere with the truth". The documentary!s researc-hers conducted interviews · with Mowat and those close to him, as' well as researching through his books. In Search Of Farley Mowat combines still photos and live action along with readings from his books to reveal the many facets of Mowat's; character.
In the film, Mowat talks about various times in his life: his relationship with his father, his experiences during World War II, his illstarred romance with Newfoundland, and his involvement with the native people of the Far North.
