Prices grow, head picked in food area Food prices are up again this year, although not as much as predicted earlier. SUB dietician Gwen Nelles blamed increases labor and food costs for the 8.8 per cent average increase. In January, then food services head Robert Bailey said prices would increase by about 10 per cent. In a random sample Thursday, The Ubyssey discovered the following increases. Figures for September, 1976 are given in brackets. Coffee: 25 cents (20 cents), french fries 50 cents (40 cents), beef dip: $1 (75 cents), submarine sandwich: $1.10 ($1), ice cream cone: 35 cents (30 cents) and a milkshake: 65 cents (60 cents.) In addition to increasing food prices during the summer, food services acquired a new head ! replacing Bailey who resigned i-n March.

Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Friday, September 16, 1977 Bill 91 Km** »Ttf\: fctLt*^ fcOQZfc STft\*6 IfMtWHCNT Cleaning up Bill 91—a "cleaning up" bill. instead of cleaning up legislation, this bill appears to be cleaning up some Social Credit campaign promises and education minister Pat McGeer's fondest wishes. One section of this bill, union-busting amendments to B.C.'s progressive Labor Code, were lamely withdrawn in the face of anger from organized labor and other groups. The move follows the government's strategic withdrawal on plans to disolve unions representing faculty at Notre Dame University in Nelson and em­ ployees of the Vancouver Resources Boards. But two amendments to the Universities Act removing faculty associations from the Labor Code and limiting student representation on university governing bodies to full-time students, are still part of Bill 91 and still on the order paper. Both amendments are under attack from the groups concerned, and with good reason. Banning faculty associations from forming unions is clearly part of the Socreds' strategy of eating away slowly at the right to organize, a strategy disigned to appease the fanatical anti-union wing of the Social Credit party. As mentioned above, previous moves in this direction have met strong counterattacks from a wary labor movement. McGeer, a member on leave of the UBC faculty, perhaps believed that his fellow profs wouldn't stoop to forming a union. But the UBC faculty association, despite resisting a move two years ago to form a union, is so angry with the amendment they are asking McGeer, in effect, to shape up or ship out. - Faculty members at B.C.'s three public universities *»/n are moving toward unions, mainly out of a concern that cutbacks and declining enrolments threaten their high salaries and job security. The Socreds, by moving now, are trying to grease the wheels for further cutbacks by Letters, crippling faculty associations' bargaining power. But whether or not they are making too much money as THE UBYSSEY some people believe, they are entitled to organize. please SEPTEMBER 16, 1977 And then there's the amendment which would allow Want to get something off Published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays throughout the only full-time students onto university senates and your chest and onto this university year by the Alma Mater Society of the University of page?

Happenings 10 years' time ago: Joe Mock, a folk musician on the Van­ couver coffee house circuit, traded in his acoustic guitar for an electric one and forms a rock group called No Commercial Potential. Other folk musicians, inspired by Dylan and the Byrds, did the same. Around the same time, the Embassy Ballroom on Davie Street cleared out many of its tables and chairs, changed its name to the Retinal Circus and started bringing in blues acts and underground rock groups from New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Retinal offered music that was new and seldom heard outside of the major American cities, in an atmosphere that placed the emphasis on experiencing the music rather than on drinking and dancing. At clubs such as the Retinal, there were light shows, which used slides, glass dishes filled with a mixture of oils and food coloring, films and overhead projectors. These were projected onto screens behind the performers. There were the so-called hippies who frequented the Retinal, who had rejected what they considered the phony culture of ordinary North American society in the late 1960s. As part of the search for a new integrity, PSYCHEDELIC BAND . play music of SUBculture they sought forms of music where the focus The Retinal and clubs like it met the needs of "mind-expanding" drugs: LSD, that they could dance to.
