Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 7, 1972 Negotiations

When it comes to the AMS finding new ways to waste our money, we thought we had seen just about everything. However, the new Students' Coalition executive has demonstrated an inventiveness in this area that appears to know no bounds. As we reported Thursday, AMS treasurer Dave Dick hired a professional negotiator, at $200 a day, to represent the AMS in contract negotiations with the Office and Technical Employees Union. The negotiator worked for two and a half days and collected a $550 pay cheque (How would you like to own a piece of that racket?)

In hiring the negotiator, Dick demonstrated an arrogance that will undoubtedly earn him a place of honor in the ranks of past AMS treasurers. The negotiator was hired and the cheque signed before Dick had even approached his own finance committee — much less the AMS council — for approval of such insanity. Remember the Students' Coalition's righteous indignation when they charged the Human Government with ignoring council and circumventing proper constitutional procedures? Of course, decisions were then being made by the Human Government caucus, which did not have the benefit of the eternal wisdom possessed by such Student Coalition notables as Dick, "cOrtfMTulATi0N$-Y0U JUST ItfNtD VfrUR Vtmt IH WOtM EMOMCSt'* internal affairs officer Micheal Whatsisname and external affairs officer Adrien Asshole. The reason given for spending such an absurd sum Letters of money (we have several unemployed friends who would have worked for half the price) is essentially that no one on the Students' Coalition executive knew and aethestic environment with buildings were constructed on the Daycare trees, open spaces, places to walk West Mall side, which extended fuck-all about labor negotiations.

This week PF presents the first part of the f introduction to Leon Trotsky's On Literature and Art. The introduction was written by Dr. Paul N. Siegel, chairman of the English Literature Department of Long Island University and author of Shakespearean Tragedy" and the Elizabethan Compromise and editor of His Infinite Variety: Major Shakespearean Criticism since Johnson.

A. V. Lunacharsky, the Soviet Commissar of Education under Lenin, writing in his Revolutionary Silhouettes of Leon Trotsky as the leader of the Red Army, spoke of "the titanic task which Trotsky took upon his shoulders, those lightning trips from place to place, those magnificent speeches, fanfares of instantaneous commands, that role of continual electrifier now at one point and now another of the weakening army. There is no a man on earth who could replace Trotsky there." The whole world had indeed been amazed by the feats of Trotsky, acting as an expression of the revolution which had roused the Russian people. Yet almost as remarkable in its way as Trotsky's military accomplishments is the fact that, as he was speeding from one front to another in his famous armored train, he was reading recently published French novels. Literature was always an absorbing interest of his. As he phrased it in the diary which he kept in 1935: "Politics and literature constitute in essence the content of my personal life." And just as his military feats won, as Lenin noted, the respect of experts in that field, so did the literary criticism of this professional revolutionist win the respect of professional men of letters. T. S. Eliot and F. B. Leavis paid tribute to his cultivation and insight while they were taking issue with his Marxism, and Edmund Wilson spoke of his Literature and Revolution as "a brilliant and valuable book" and as a "remarkable little study". Trotsky's ability as a literary critic may be gauged by his having hailed before they received general acclaim Malraux, Silone and Celine, the first two of whom wrote novels that affected so on the whole, endorsed claims for strongly the decade of the thirties and complete scientific explanation." that are among the very few works which Trotsky, however, quoted the Italian have survived it, and the last who wrote Marxist philosopher Antonio Labriola novels that have so strongly influenced against those who would simplify Marxist Art and I subsequent European and American theory into crude economic determinism: religious, aesthetic and philosophical minimizing the role of tradition novelists. But a volume of Trotsky's "By this method fools could reduce the systems of ideas and institutions) which literature, insists upon it as much as dc literary criticism is justified not only by whole of history to the level of may develop on the basis of that T.

For the last five months of 1971, the education students' association tried unsuccessfuUy to get B.C. education minister Donald Brothers to come to UBC and explain his department's policies. On Dec. 13, the EdSA received a telephone call from Brothers, asking representatives to meet with him in his Victoria office later that week. On Dec. 17, five reps from the UBC EdSA, two from the University of Victoria and one from the industrial education faculty at the B.C. Institute of Technology met with Brothers in Victoria.
