After a five-month drought, the · Atlantic region of the Canadian Federation of Students finally has a . fieldworker. Judy Guthrie, a native of Saskat­ , chewan, was appointed Atlantic Fieldworker for CFS on November 6th. · Former fieldworker Mark Linehan resigned in June, but sat on the re­ hiring committee. Interviews for the position were held in August and September, but selection was delayed when interview tapes were held up at Mount Allison tJniversity in New Brunswick. A fieldworker was chosen on November 1st, but she had another job by then. The committee's second choice was also employed . .Guthrie was the third choice. There was some controversy on the choice of Guthrie, .who is monol­ ingual in English.

Along with Richard Cashin resident of the Newfoundland Fisherman's Union, two other panelists spoke on behalf of the Coalition. Ray Goulding, president of the Newfoundland Teacher's Association, talked about -PS~T\ the reasons for the NTA's decision to join the Coalition. Denise Maikowski PSST~ of the Communications Workers of Canada spoke on the Newfoundland pssr~ Telephone workers strike. Goulding said among the reasons for the NTA joining the Coalition for Equality were the numerous wage freezes and cutbacks made by the Peckford government over the past four years. He mentioned in particular Bill 37, a move by the provincial government to eliminate a period of notice required before industry layoffs. The legislation is retroactive to 1978, meaning workers laid off without notice as far bake as 1978 have no right to demand compen­ sation. He call~d the bill "a piece of legislation no less despicable than the legislation brought in by the Samllwood government in 1957 which banned the International Wood­ workers Association [during a logger's strike that year]." Goulding said the NTA feels thay must stand up in protest against legisla­ tion that denies basic freedoms. "If there are concerns about what's hap­ pening in this country, if we believe Health plan referendum set for December democratic freedoms must be pro­ tected, we must speak out loud and by Jean Greig on presentation of a MUN student said. clear for what we believe in," he said.

Equality: a staitd

' Well, at least it was something different. Politics on campus. If nothing else perhaps the open meeting for the Coalition for Equality held on • .... Wednesday may have pulled a few heads out of the • • sand. L The Coalition for Equality has been negotiating with 'the Council of the Students' Union for the past few weeks, trying to get an official endorse­ ment, or at least to try and stir up some interest. To the CSU's credit, Wednesday's meeting was well­ organized, well-publicized, and surprisingly well­ attended. But the council has certainly not been prepared to take a stand. Mind you, this year's council has hardly been known for its daring stands on politic issues. If any stands at all. Perhaps the CSU is wise in hesitating to join the Coalition. It does seem to be primarily concerned with labour union issues, at least at this point. There is some question as to whether student issues would get equal time if the CSU were to join the CSU were to join. After all, who's going to get all · fired up about a $50 tuition hike for students when Newfoundland Telephone workers have been on strike for almost six months?

While McAllister enjoys her work, she feels tremendous pressure in working in an isolated area and in always wanting perfection. "You're open constantly and always to criticism; there is no room for error. You must not only strive for ex­ cellence, you must always reach that I point. The moment you make an error, you have both consumers unhappy and the medical profession unhappy. It reflects upon your community of mid­

wives as a whole, it reflects provincial­ / ly. The stress level of this job is just in­ credible,'' she says. When something goes wrong, there is even more pressure placed on the midwife. Donna Marie Carpenter was one of three midwives charged with criminal negligence fallowing the death at six months of a baby they had TSN and MUCH MUSIC on o.ur. ~lg Screen delivered. The past year has been a stressful one for her, she says, because it was difficult to get back into things and carry on a normal life. "I certainly wondered, 'What am I going to do? Am I going to make it.as a midwife, or am I going to drop out?' It only took me a minute to say I'm going ahead." Carpenter pauses reflectively, and says with convention, "I'm a mid­ wife, you know.'' Carpenter says the support she received from midwives' support groups was invaluable. As an underground profession, midwifery is still setting up the professional and educational institutions other profes­ sions have had for years. A national group, the Midwives Association of Canada, was established during the MANA conference in early November. Why hang over a hot stove? Lee Saxell, a British Columbia mid­ wife, says the group will act as a liaison We rustle up a mean meal with other midwifery groups across the country.
