NOT BAD, BUT... In one respect the AMS budget does a serious disservice to students atUVic. A motion before Council to allocate$2000 for production of an academic guidebook was defeated. Instead, a sum of $483 was passed. It has been disturbing overthe past few years to see the causeof student power and students rightsdropped by successive councils in favour of the purelymanagerial and cost-effective approach to spending money. We’re a long way from the activism of the ’sixties, irs true (how quickly thatstatement is becoming Provincial Union was operating The Executive Council hackneyed )but the need for students to have a say in the running ripoff successfully.

Cuqrently involved in community television and an experimental environmentalscheme in Vancouver, there is no disguising his bitternessover the problems he was up against as a national newscaster from 1967 to 1969, when he left Canada lor BiafraBurke, who had worked for the CBC in Nigeria before the war andwho had begun his job at CBC headquarters at about the time the warbegan, spent several months in the war-torn country attempting to help hasten the end of the fighting. Returning to Canada hespent a periodof time teaching at York University and is nowon the faculty at Simon Fraser University, in the Communications Department. Burke was bornin Vancouver fifty years ago. After obtaining adegree in agriculture from UBC and serving in theNavy during World WarI1 he became a newspaperman. He spent five opposite years as parliamentary a reporter in Ottawaand joined the CBC as a UN correspondent II in1958. He was in Berlin at the forces time of the 1961 crisis and from 1962 to 1967 was based in Paris.

The recent Brazilian boom Is founded on the government’sbasic policy of creating an in- vestor’s utopia whatever thecost. The government‘s program, therefore, has included a tremendous amount of state participation in the economy, forthe purposs ofbuilding an infrastructure (highway development, hydroelec- tricprojects, steel works, et cetera) which is considered asa minimum dowry for any economicminister requesting the hand and favour of the international financial and business community.

groups from a reformist movement intent on their destruction and offered them a path of forceful adaptation)viewed its missionasthat of modernizing the economic, social, and political structures so.as to clear theway for international andnational monopoly capital. The regime’s violence and politics of force were not based on its daudi//os (military bosses). andon the demoralized strength “of the old letifundios, (estates) although they did not refrain from using them, but on the modern and efficient police and armedforces of thecontemporary monopoly state. The essence of the Brazilian model, then, is themaintenance of an extremely high con- centration of income in the upper 20 per cent of thepopulation, providing anexcellent middle class value-oriented market for the dynamicsec- tors ofthe economy which, in turn,churn Out incredible numbers of automobiles, stereo sets, televisions,and the like. The middleclass is invitedto “step into the ruling class”,as an advertisement for the Brazilian-made Dodge Dart puts it. Although this market represents approximately 20 millionpeople (Brazil’s totai population is about 100 million) and is likely to provide the necessary stimulusfor some yearsto come, ths government has done itall can to foster exportation ofthese goods toreach the other ‘upper 20 per cents’ throughout Latin America, the Carribean, and Southern Africa. Foreignexchange has also been sought throughfostering the exportation ofgoods produced by the “traditionalsectors”. Aswas noted the growth rate of these portions of the economy are negligible compared to the dynamic sectorsunder foreign ownersnip. Therefore, increases in the exportsof these goods are bound tohave repercussions on theinternal con- sumption patterns. The most revealing example is that of beef, 18,500 tons of which wasexported in 1964 and 79,000 in 1970.

They are Moslems they are obsolete, they live in the Middle Ages and they’re veryproud. They’re determined that someday they’ll come back and they are very humiliated and angry atthe presence in the north of these men from the southwho are bettereducated, cocky and have the best jobs. When they had the first coup, this was an army coup, it was led by an Ibo officer, because they were in the dominant positionin the officer corps. Now as faras the north is concerned the chief of staff, who happened to be an Ibo, (Johnson Ironsi) was thrust intopower by the politicians with unseemly haste, who got out and left himwith it. I was at his first press conference and I can assure you he wasa very frightened man. We wondered why at the time, because he was a big self- assured man and with the army behind him what was he frightened about? And we wondered at the timeand paid little attention. He rightly feared for hislife. The Northernersregarded it as a further consolidation of southern power. So.they mounted a counter-coup led by Gowon, who is now the dictator there,the military leader and a northerner. So they struck, assasinated Ironsi the Ibo chief and took over. In order to take North the out. And this was the strange ironyof the story. Theman who fought the war to keep Nigeriaone, who perhaps sacrificed a million lives in so doing and in my opinion solved no oroblems, started out taking the North out. He flew-the northernflag at his he2dquartersand he made a radio arewell speech to thenation, saying we must recognize thatout unitary system ofgovernment has not stood the test of time. At that stage, left to their own devices, the Africanswould have solved it. They didsolveit.
