'Board easy on moonlighting profs'

By PETER FERGUSON The board of governors' new policy on outside jobs for professors is meaningless in its present form, student board member Glenn Wong said Thursday. The new board policy requires university approval when outside pro­ THE UBYSSEY fessional activity becomes "substantial."

Friday, January 11,1980 want to tighten up it depends on the definition of substantial." The board has left it to individual faculties and professional schools to regulate themselves. In the ab­ sence of such regulation a limit of one-half day per seven-day period will be considered substantial, the board report states. The board report also states ap­ proval will be required for the use of universities and facilities for out­ side professional activities, but Wong said this should be obvious. "If it's not like that (now), why the hell isn't it?" Former faculty association head Richard Roydhouse said the faculties and schools should reg­ ulate themselves and should not be subject to regulation from other bodies. "The units within the university are capable of governing them­ selves," he said. Roydhouse said outside jobs for professors were of benefit to i UBC. "The quality of teaching in the professional schools and in general does depend on people, having con­ tact with the real world." The issue of moonlighting arose three years ago when the outside jobs of former applied science dean Liam Finn came to light. "The university felt collectively that it was under attack at the time," Roydhouse said. "I think we overreacted."

That's because now every year is Open House year at UBC. Instead of holding the public relations event every three years, as in the past, there will be an Open House every March for specific faculties. Not enough people are aware of UBC's Open Houses because they are held so infrequently, according to Erich Vogt, vice-president of fac­ ulty and student affairs. Vogt said UBC faculties have been divided into three groups and each will hold an Open House every three years. The first year for Open Houses for the faculties of the health sciences, applied sciences, and the humanities and natural sci­ ences will be 1980, 1981 and 1982, respectively. Under this new format, the Alma Mater Society and students of the faculties will have the same respons­ ibilities as in previous Open Houses, said Vogt. In previous campus-wide Open Houses the Alma Mater Society formed a central organizing com­ mittee and students initiated ideas and organized plans for their fac­ ulty's Open House, said Vogt. Marie MacLachlan, secretary of last year's Open House organizing committee, said Wednesday she thinks the new format is good. Last year's campus-wide Open House was difficult to coordinate and or­ ganize because of its large scale, she — ron burnett, geof wheelwright photos said.

Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Friday, January 11, 1980 Profs profit UBC's board of governors has no intention of keeping this uni­ versity's professors as bit players in the "real world." They want their proteges (er, professors) to be playing an active role out in civilized society, supposedly to improve the quality of their performance within a classroom. But unfortunately for us, the board's newest policy on outside jobs, commonly called "moon­ lighting" leaves lots of room for interpretation. It's a shitty script. With unspecific, lots-of-room-for-leeway guidelines, UBC pro­ fessors' outside activities won't be tightened in the slightest. In fact, nothing will change a bit because action will be taken only when a professor's extra work interests become "substantial." And the definition of substantial lies with each faculty's discretion. And we all know what that means. Bend the rules to fit the part. Interpret loosely for maximum gain. To put loosely-applied words down in black and white is a great masquerade for board members to pretend they've taken decisive action. But we all know that status quo is their real motto and that's the word that will stick. So with all the aplomb of a leading player blessed with a doting director, each UBC department head/director/dean/vice-president will get token written approval and then sprint off to fill "certain kinds of paid and unpaid" positions. Professors will dutifully report to their faculties. Heads and direc­ tors will go honorably to their deans. Deans and vice-presidents will THE UBYSSEY smile at the president. It's a simple scenario.

The best motion pictures By SHAFFIN SHARIFF In 1977, women's pictures, films which featured some of the most outstanding female performances in a long time, were highlighted. Films in 1978 attempted to focus on the tragedies of the Vietnam war. 1979 was, probably, the year of the directors: some innovative film­ makers took daring chances and a few came up with masterpieces. On top of the list was Francis Ford Coppola and his monumental journey into the heart of darkness, Apocalypse Now. Two other respected directors gave us two very personal films. New Yorker Woody Allen received bravos for Manhattan. But Ber­ nardo Bertolluci suffered consider­ ably with Luna, a worthwhile but overly ambitious film.

The Ultravox is truly a band for the set with the pulsating synthesizer chords of the unrecorded Ad Astra. The band quickly picked up the pace and this instrumental soared, peaking with an electric violin solo by Bill Curie. The packed Com­ modore crowd, which lead singer Midge Ure later called the best on the tour, were caught unawares but quickly reacted to the vitality of the performance that Ultravox displayed! The majority of the material was from their new and unrecorded material.
