1 I L VOl. 8 UNIVERSITY OF VIC1!ORIA, VICTORIA, B.C., FRIDAY,NOVEMBER 19688, No. 15 stays in CUS (CUP)-The Canadian Union of Students won animportant victory Tuesday when the students of Simon Fraser University voted 1123-685 to stay in the Union. The policies of Martin Loney, CUS president-elect and past president of Simon Fraserstudent council, andhis activist executive of this summer seemed doomed to failure following the SFU fall election of a moderate slate to council. Loney was elated by the results and said : “This should turn the tide for CUS.” He also claimed, as a result of his recent tour of the west, “It‘s very likely the University of Alberta will vote to join CUS by the end of the pear.” Because of Loney’sposition with CUS all eyes turned to SFU to see if students there had placed the moderates in office as a reaction to student power at that campus or as theprelude to rejecting CUS policy and membership. Rob Walsh, council president, also was “disappointed” with the results of the vote. He and his moderate council voted 7-3 three weeks ago to pull out of CUS because it was a waste of money and didn’t regresent the majority of students in . But their constituents didn’t agree. Jim Harding, former activist vice-president, said : “Moder- ates need the mass media to scare new students. When they haven’t got it, students can translate their self-interests into votes.” Percy Smith, executive secretary of the Canadian Associa- tion of University Teachers, gave strong support to the Union in his address to the SFU students’council last week. lie said: “I view the partial disintegration of CUS as nothing short of disaster.” Dr. Smith revealed that for the first time the CUS organ- ization has taken the initiative to work at a national level with CAUT on the problems of university government and structure and the problems of relations between provincial governments and the university. - The union appears to be moving toward an effective com- mon front with CAUT at a national level, he said. Meanwhile in Toronto last week, the CUS national council passed a resolution stating “firm action” would be taken against student councils that attempt to back down from a previous commitment to pay CUS fees. CUS vice-president Wynton Semple said if necessary court action would be taken again universities like Uvic that refused to pay their fees.

Asfar-fetched as it may seem right now, anyserious attempt to close this university by students could very well havedevastating, far-reaching effects on the future of higher education in B.C. And these will not be the sort of effects student leaders would find satisfactory. Both Simon Fraser and U.B.C. would suffer as well. It is a well-known secretthat the Premier is itching for an opportunity to step in and “straighten things out over there.” Any unruly studentoutburst at theUniversity of Victoriamight just give him the final push he needs. The Premier controls the money thatruns the universities, and should he chooseto use it, this control is his most effective weapon. The protests of students would be lost inthe spasms of starvationfor fundsthat the Premier can induce whenever he pleases. Accompanyinga new Universities Act will certainly come a major slash in the universities’ budget. Entrance standards will soar to cut down on a student population that cannot be provided for: fees will double or perhaps triple : a large number of juniorfaculty will bereleased. The whole com- munity - indeed the whole province - will suffer. Those student leaders (one hesitates to call such short- sighted people leaders) who insist upon change must utilize the present existing machinery, which was set up at their insistence,to make their views heard and to influence the course of events at this university. As appealing as the idea of striking may be, as exciting as it may be to clamber on the band-wagon of student revolt, the consequences will be horrendous. The harsh reality of the matter is that the vast majority of thestudents at university in B.C. willgain nothing and lose a great deal - to whit, the limited amount of freedom that they now possess.
