Faculty ImproVed Yet.

The actions of the fac- ulty around here during the past week have indicated both great promise and great hypocracy.If you compare the meetings held now with those held even as long ago as last spring,there is no doubt that only one con— clusion can be arrived at- the faculty have been amaz— ing in the way they have

opened their eyes to the inequities and injustices in the world around them and yet they have been unable to leave smug little cocoons to speak out or

act about these elements

of existence.

Hence,the faculty vot— ed virtually and unanim- ously to give $1,000.00 to the strike fund,for the workers and yet strike the words "in good faithufrom the following motionzthat the university administrae tion returned to the bar— gaining table and negot- iate'in good faith with the workers".

It may be noted that with— out good faith,collective bargaining is a meaning- less process.At any rate, by the time they had vot— ed this motion,university had already returned to the table,so it was not- hing but a wordy piece

of pious crap.

If the wordsnin good faith"are struck from that motion,what does it mean? That profs.,threatened by the student actions, desire to get it over with as soon as possible. Irrelevant is the question of whether or not the strike has accomplished anything. The only consideration is to return to the cocoon as soon as possible.It's time profs.1 around here broke the bond and came out as butterflies.

The position our mentors

have taken is perhaps under— standable. Their single reason for the job they preSently hold is to teach classes. Aside from the question of the fat salary they would be losing if they joined the lines, many feel they have a moral requirement to hold class— es— an obligation to the students who do wish to continue to take the course. This obligation truely contradicts the other one which they have to the world out there and they know it,although they'll w never admit it,not even to themselves. Hence,the only possible-reaction is to shrink further into the cccoon. I Thus,0wen Sharkey ,charges the lines; a danger to life and limb, Mujib Rahman lies his way throughgciting a quick trip into campus (of five hours)and a bad ankle and Bob O'Rourke parks-' in the K—Mart parking lot and sneaks past Blan— chard. These reactions all come from fear. Would any— one do anything that \ humiliating and degrading— if there was\not a great-

UPEI Is People

Unusual events often can serve to clarify social reality; Our strike in support of the Maintenance workers certainly does this.

First,it seems obvious that,as students,we are customers and pay for our credits and degree.As a side benefit we can take courses which sometimes are inter- esting and worthwhile;this, however,is not our prime objective since we could- easily develop methods of learning and skill which are a great deal.léss expensive and less boring/ Oppressive/ stultifying(take your pick.) As education consumers we accumulate potential economic and social power in an unjust and unequal stratifying society. This is consumer education and jOb training in the worst possible sense. Whether we can break this

er motivation? Would in any othér case: Glen Palmer hold a class or Frank Bolger scream at his fellow human being with his finger pressed against his nose?

Of course not yet fear does strange things to people. They attempt to hide from the facts‘and ignore the reality which exists all around them.It makes them uncomfortable.

To relieve that dis—, comfort they vote $1,0il3 for a strike fund — $10.00 apiece from a group of people whose average sal- ary is about $17,000.00. There, now they can go home satisfied that they have done something sufficiently concrete to ease their con— science. Meanwhile,they refuse to censor the ad— ministration for giving subsistence wage over the years and allowing the situation to come to such a head,nor do they walk the lines, even in their Spare time.

It is absolutely neces-

sary in their world to keep

reality out;otherwise it impinges too heavily upon their conscience'and forces them to act. /

consumerism ethos and sys— tematic inequality is a fun- damental question of our society.

' Secondly,it is clear that W§_aréwthenaniversity.With— out us,it just don't go!

We may,infact, need people to take care of administ— rative details but they should be\accountable to us, i.e. both elected and re— callable.Steps to make all administrators responsible should be taken further . Finally,the strike points out hhw we are dependent on others for our education and for making decisions on . the social well — being of our fellow men(Maintenance ‘workers).We should be men and women not dependents.

Well, what can we do? As responsible and free people- anything we want.
