Bathroom artists chalk Up graffiti

HALIFAX (CUP) —- The time has come for disposable graffiti.

Artists at Dalhousie Uni- versity and the University of Alberta can now sit in wash- room stalls and scrawl cryptic messages for hours. It’s the

new age of wash and wipe. Student councils at the two universities installed chalk— boards in student union building washrooms to elimi- nate the kind of graffiti that doesn’t go away. And graffiti artists have never been

Alberta’s student council came up with the idea first in 19.76, and while attending a recent Canadian Federation of Students general meeting there, Alex Gigeroff, Dal- housie’s student council pre- sident, though he should try the chalkboards out.

Gigeroff now calls the functional boards one of his “major discoveries”,

investigate no matter what their field, so as to be better prepared for an uncertain future.”

Crook then went on to an exploration of the potential conflict between account- ability and autonomy. Though universities value their autonomy and, want responsibility for their own actions, he said that due to lack of funds, they cannot be totally autonomous and do whatever they want, regard-

less of public opinion. Dr. Crook said that academics must evaluate

themselves and the university carefully judging input and output, so as to “generate support in the community.”

Though universities cannot be completely independent, they can be more indepen- dent on some issues than they can on others.

Moving on to a fourth problem area, Crook says, “The university is an aca- demic community,” a state which requires equality of the people in that community regardless of rank or position.

hopes they will raise the quality of graffiti at Dal- housie.

“There was no vandalism and people were indefinitely more witty, creative and less offensive at the U of A,” he says.

“Most graffiti is of the ha-ha, boo-boo kind but the walls still have to be scraped down and repainted each yea.r With chalkboards the

graffiti can be erased.”

Both schools have already noted a marked improvemen in the quality of the graffiti “Dick loves Jane” has beer. replaced by “End hetero- sexual hegemony now.” '

Such equality has its basis in the similar pursuit of excellence in all the com-

‘ munity members.

“Unfortunately, the uni- versity is also a large organ- ization and difficult to organize bureaucratically.

“As accountability in- creases, the administrative system becomes more elabo- rate,” said Crook, meaning a situation resulting in a separation of presidents and deans from the academic community.

It also may lead to union- ization of the other com- munity members.

Though Crook did think it right to remove the admini- stration from the academics, he protested that he was not against unions.

“Academics seldom agree,” he said, but added that in a small institution such as UPEI, consultation and co- operation are more possible.

Tenure. was the topic about which Dr. Crook was most hesitant. He defined tenure as the protection of all aca- demics to study their fields

“Tenure should not dispensed with easily,” Crook.

Still, he believed it unfair to sacrifice the talents of a whole generation of gra— duates who" would have had many job opportunities ten years ago.

“Tenure should not be confused with too much independence,” he continued, saying there must be a way to guarantee its recipients’ showing output as well.

The entire lecture can be summarized in one sentence of Crook’s: Balance i" needed.”

Warning of the danger of overreacting, he acknow— ledged it was difficult tr‘ speak of an academic com»- munity when “one depart» ment’s loss is another de partment’s gain.”

Crook repeated that university must respond to the needs of the community.

Due to budgetary con- straints, he said, “universities will have to have some fat trimmed off in order to main - tain both their traditions am! remain productive.
