CORD A THEWILFRID LAURIER UNIVERSITY STUDENT PUBLICATION VOLUME ISSUE 15 NOVEMBER XXXIII 26 1992 Laurier Hawks rock joins O.U.S.A. STEVE DOAK The Cord Laurier's Students' Union has joined a new association that will give the students a more prominent voice in the government. The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA) was launched officially on Tuesday, November 17 at a press conference at Queen's Park. A general proposal titled "Students for Change: Access, Student Aid, and Financial Recovery in Post-Secondary Education in Ontario" was released at that time. It is based on the belief that uni- versities in this province are under-funded and that "the benefits of a university education flow from the individual to the rest of society." The suggestions made in the proposal would "pump $360 million into the university sector over three years, while improving student aid programs." These funds would come from increases in tuition of ten percent per year over the next three years with a matching, dollar- for-dollar increase in money from the government. Contributions from the private sector are expected to increase five percent as well. The provincial government recently announced that it may not make any increase in university funding for the next two years. A new student aid program has been outlined to compensate for these increases. The income contingent loan repayment plan (ICLRP) will be available to all university students as a supplement to OSAP. It will loan students money to cover tuition and books and will be repaid through additions to income tax after the student has attained an annual income higher than the provincial average. The funding proposal acknowledges that tuition fees will be in- creasing in the future, and demands that the increases do not occur in | Stoning in Waterloo - see story page 12 photo Chris Skalkos a vacuum. It says that students will accept changes in fees if, and only if, there is an equivalent change in government support and reform of the student aid program. Through the proposed changes, universities will be more accoun- table to the students and to the private sector. Perpetual monitoring of all areas of universities will assure this. OUSA includes the students of Laurier, the University of Water- Ticketforbike loo, Queen's University, the University of Toronto, and Brock Uni- versity.

Community groups, the University of Waterloo, WLU, and local high schools used the facilities. For example, the Waterloo County Board of Education had an agreement with the City to use the facilities for free. The elementary and secondary schools held aoout 25 events annually on the premises for track, soccer and football contests. The sale agreement stipulates that past user groups continue to have access. Commissioner Kathy Durst of ihe City stated the university "has Don SmitJ been more than generous in providing access in the studen~ future." WLU embarked on the project "to provide immediate advantages for our varsity and in­ lose mon tramural teams." The Department of Physical Education will have use of the facilities, in addition to the general student body, community groups, local high schools, amateur and occasionally professional athletes, cultural groups, and sports associations. The Seagram Committee has made the project an "ancillary unit." This means that it operates otltside the operational budget to which the students and the government contributes. Food Services and Housing are ancillary services as well. They function on their own and must make ends meet. Don Smith said that students will not lose money on this. The University has rental procedures in place. The School Board used the facilities for football games in the autumn. Don Lidstone, Coordinator of Physical Education with the Board, said that the rent rates "have incurred costs that we never had before." The Board is currently negotiating with the University. The facilities are also open to other users. The gymnasium is available for $28 to $30 per hour. It is open for seven days a week.

Dr. Lorna Marsden, President of WLU, stated that "everyone on the Committee is very disappointed. We looked at the inconveniences to the people in athletics, yet the fundraising was not as successful as hoped. I would liked to have had no recession." Rich Newbrough, Director of Athletics, shared the disappointment "We were like a bunch of kids hoping to open a big Christmas present. Now they took it away until1994." He said that the decision "will have severe implications for our football team." The construction of the new Science Building, located in the Bricker St./King St. comer will begin in the spring of 1993. Newbrough said that the construction "eliminates 30 to 40 per cent of the practice area. We used the back areas of the buildings and there are currently four pieces of machinery there. It is impossible to move them down (to the main field) and accommodate 80 players. We don't have a solution right now." Newbroug~ acknowledged the financial reasoning behind the Committee's decision.

With the more immediate minor - renovations and the more distant major renovations "new rules have to be set" In Thompson's opinion "the current rental rates will be reviewed."

For the record, I know almost nothing about Malcolm X. But, hopefully, that will change after seeing Spike Lee's newest opus about the man. What I wanted to take this space for, however, was to offer up my thoughts about some comments that Spike Lee made a few weeks ago on the film. Specif- ically, he wanted parents to pull their kids out of school or for them to just plain skip school on the film's opening day to go see it. As expected, school boards around the country resounded with indignation. "How dare this man ad- vocate that kids go to a silly movie instead of going to school and getting an education" they must have cried. I suppose that argument really does hold water until you think about this: what's really the silly part and what's really the education? Trite and empty-headed movies are the norm for Hollywood, but when filmmakers like Spike Lee and Oliver Stone put fact to film what results transcends mere entertainment to become education; for these directors the theatre is the classroom. Classes have been missed for far less. In a society where kids are whipped up into a fever over the release of movies like Batman and Dracula, it's a welcome voice I hear that bids them to do the same about a movie that has substance; one that will truly educate them and provok# thought from their minds and action from their hands. • I have to wonder what the people in power are thinking when they aciponish Spike Lee for 'undermining' the educational system when attendance in the public school system (among other MjL; J Zaeehini 2.49 things) is abysmal to begin with. They're in the arcades, they're dealing, stoned, they're preg- nant and some are probably at home fucking as the national anthem drones (Slit of the p.a. At this moment I have one friend writing an essay on "The Architecture and Art of Ancient Chios" and another writing a paper on "A Comparison of Imagery in Kubrick's Clockwork Orange and ®"^4 ' # 1.99 Penn's Bonnie and Clyde". In short, what they are doing is, in the name of "education", learning about r Coconut Skrimf 2.99 things that don't mean fuck all. I know very well that I am being taught nothing that will be of practi- cal use in the real world in my classrooms. I think you know it. I know Spike Lee knows it. And this, I think, is what is behind his thinking when he says that you must leave your classrooms to get edu- cated. His detractors have said that his sole incentive in getting kids to the box office is to make money. I'll say this; teachers get paid to teach and when they demand that you attend their classes it's because Mushroom M«4e»pi.....2.49 they want you to learn, not because they want you to line their pockets. For the record, class is in session down the street at your local movie theatre. The lesson is Reality and the professor will be Spike Lee. mm IYSTIM |J HUndtyt: HFt Football 091 Lee prevails ra*ti*yi: TftoU

•THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2S, 1992 VOLUME XXXIII, ISSUE IS punishment COVER PHOTOGRAPHY: and CHRIS SKALKOS some places in the world, it's a crime to have an opinion. Speak against Allah in Iran, and you'll find yourself imprisoned. Criticize Mao Tse-Tung in Beijing, and you'll soon be in a re-education THE CORD Incamp. Speak out against Peru's military dictatorship, and you'll find yourself staring at a prison wall. There's a name for this kind of 'crime': thoughtcrime. Thoughtcrime is the sin of speaking your mind, when those in power forbid it. And the thought police are those that punish such sins. The thought police have just set up a brigade in the Students' Union. The Students' Union is revamping its election policies. That makes sense, considering that elections at Laurier have become equated with the words "scandal" and "fuckup". So, some changes would be sensible. But not changes that involve slapping a gag on the campus newspa- per. That's right — the Students' Union Board of Directors is attempting to pass a censorship law, a

For the Students' Union to try and control the editorial content of The Cord, then, is not only immoral - it's illegal, too. And then there is the small matter of precedent. !
