nizdiationsmaw If you had any intentions/to major in human relations and counelling studies-forget it. The UW department could be losed down next ‘year if the reommendation of a task force is acepted by the university senate at ts Jan. 19 meeting. However, students who are preendy enrolled in undergraduate, raduate or PhD programs will be llowed to complete their degrees. The task force, chaired by raduate studies dean Lynn Watt, lrafted a 21-page report which exmines in detail the three programs lffered by the department and
proposes that they be discontinued. The human relations and counselling studies department was established in 1972 “with the goal of developing broad interdisciplinary programs in human relations at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, ” the task force report says. “This goal was a laudable one and had the department achieved it, its programs would almost certainly have provided worthwhile academic opportunities for both graduate and undergraduate students. ’ ’
However, the report says this goal has not been achieved and the department “ . . .is probably incapable of doing so. ’ ’ ‘In addition, the programs “as they- presently stand are not academically viable,” and “any further investment of resources to strengthen the department in the hope that it could recover, would be a high risk gamble.” The report added that: “The resources required would be substantial, and it is by no means certain that such measures would succeed. The only appropriate course of action for the university to take is to

Despite Queen’s Park’s :anrouncement of a 14.4 per cent inrease in college and university operating grants, it may be nother month before UW reeives information necessary to inalizing its budget. The announced university fundng of $651 million, up from $568 nillion, represents a global figure nd “w-e don’t know yet how it vi11 be distributed,” said UW firancial chief Bruce Gellatly. “That decision will only come lfter the Ontario Council on Unirersity Affairs (OCUA) makes its necommendations to the ministry it the end of January.” Gellatly noted that last year the Jrovince announced a global in:rease of 16.9 per cent but UW seceived a rise of only about 8.5 )er cent. University president Burt tiatthews pointed out that sev:ral questions remain unanswered n the government’s news release. It indicates that minister of coleges and universities Harry Par-
rott “has accepted the OCUA’s recommendation that formula funding of graduate work be suspended for the next two years in favour of a system of grants that reflects increases in costs, but not in numbers,” but does not say whether the base to be used will be current graduate enrolment or last year’s enrolment. What is left after graduate and supplementary grants are deducted is then allocated to undergraduate programs. However universities are not yet certain what the formula of’ distribution to these prqgrams will be. ’ (Supplementary grants cover such areas as bilingual grants, special grants to northern universities and grants for small size or “unfavourable BIU ratings”. UW has never received a supplementary grant :) “We should not expect hard information on these points before the end of January,” Matthews said.
Even in the unlikely event that the grants to UW should increase by the announced 14.4 per cent, “if you take away growth, this yields a real increase per student of only about seven per cent,” Matthews pointed out. In light of an inflation rate of 11.5-12 per cent during the past year this “puts us in a negative position in regard to real dollars,” he said. Asked about the $1.2 million deficit on this year’s budget, Matthews responded that “we can cut that (from next year’s budget) without terminating, anyone for that reason. If we cut that much, I think we have a real chance of achieving a balanced budget.” Gellatly was less optimistic, saying that he does expect a deficit, but of less than $1.2 million‘ The budget should be ready for the March meeting of senate and would then go before the board of governors in April. -henry

which counters the Western prejudice that Chinese papers carry only a limited number of international newstories, Griffiths added. He said all Chinese papers display the same interest in events of national and international importance as opposed to more sensational news such as fires, rapes and, murders. “I’m not saying things like rapes and murders don’t happen in China, but newspapers don’t consider them newsworthy.” The “morbid satisfaction” of what goes wrong in other people’s lives doesn’t interest Chinese journabs ts , Griffiths said. Chinese papers also cover political, cultural, educational and sports events in a different manner than in the West-they tend to be more political and analytical in their articles, he said: Griffiths said all papers in China are under the control of the Communist Party. The Peoples Daily, which has the second largest circulation in China, is controlled by the Central Committee of the Chinese Comm_unist Party. Asked about possible censorship by the Party, ‘ ‘the Chinese people would agree this could lead to press dictatorship and use of the paper for propaganda purposes, but they would qualify this by saying there are two kinds of dictatorship in the world,” Griffiths said. _

The other is the “proletarian dictatorship which is biased in favor of the working class.” Griffiths said the papers are censored so that they don’t allow “‘purposeful expression of capitalist ideas” and instead serve the interest of the working class. “There is a dictatorship over the bourgeois class in China to prevent it from regaining power, but there is also as democracy for the people.

This realization led to the setting up of a five-member steering committee to investigate the feasibility of starting a new national student union at a University of Windsor conference in May, 1972. Most of the provinces were represented at this meeting which only goes to show that student leaders across the country had similar feelings about the- need for national cooperation. However, the conference proved to be only a partial success. For though it defined the ne_ed for a national organization, analysed the errors of CUS, established a set of procedures that would bring a national association into reality and brought together student officials from more than 40 institutions, it failed to include students from Quebec French-speaking institutions or fro-m the non-university post-secondary institutions. Nevertheless: the steering committee began to coordinate a conference to establish a new national student union; at the same time it drafted an initial constitution and encouraged campus-wide debate on the direction of the new union. 1972, the National Early November, secondary education is established in the Union of Students (NUS) founding confer1966 Fiscal Arrangements Act.

CUS and UGEQ examined questions affecting the day-to-day life of students, such as housing, unemployment, financial assistance and visas. The organizations also took a more radical political tone than that of their predecessors, examining accessibility to the university, university power structures and the role the university plays in the world of government. The question of universahaccessibility led the member organizations to see the problem as “the abolition of all social and financial barriers to post-secondary education.” But the organizations (and their student leaders) became increasingly politicized when, examining the question of universal accessibility, they began to realize that they had to consider all aspects of education and society, “for it is impossible to change the university substantially without changing society.” At the same time that CUS was becoming more political, it continued to provide essential services, distributingpublications on topics such as co-ops, education, housing and the incorporation of student associations.
