EMPIDYIENI‘: REIPORII FINIB ENGLISH PHIB HAVING TMBLE FINDING JCBS

BURNABY (CUP) —- English PhD graduates are having seriots problems finding wofic in their field, according to a recent report prepared by the Association of Canadian University rReachers of English (ACUTE) .

The report found that while 90 per cent of the entrants to humanities doctoral programs seek teadling positions, in 1976 only 12 of 76 English PhD graduates fomd full-time teaching positions in Canada.

According to Alan Rudrum, chairperson of the committee Whid‘l prepared the report, the situation is a result of universities attempting to cut costs by hiring underqualified lecturers on short—term contracts rather than by hiring PhDs. Rudrum says the economic savings must be balanced against the lowering of academic standards .

ACU'IE makes a number of recmmendations in the report to remedy the situation. One of their major complaints is that

. Canadian universities

contime to hire foreign professors while Canadian PhDs cannot find work. ACUTE also wants universities to reduce the number of teaching assistants hired to free funds to hire fully qualified PhDs. ‘Ihe organ- ization also suggests job sharing as part of a solution to the problem, with faculty members having a lighter course load in order to free part: of their salaries for new appointments. * Rudrum says a large part of the problem has been that universities have not carefully examined the effects of their policies on hiring. "What may have been suitable in the 605 is not in the 705," he said.‘

SASKA'I‘OON -- Students at the UniVersity of Saskat- diewan at Saskatocn may have good reason to worry about a nuclear "China Syndrome‘" becoming popular on their campus soon.

'Jhe university will be

the site of a Slcnpdce—Z

nuclear reactor in 1980, according to the Saskat- chewan Research Council.

The $2.5 millim reactor will be used for camercial testing purposes. It will be used to reduce raw uranium ore into yellow cake uranium, Whid‘l is a concentrated, low-radiation emitting form of uranium.

'Ihe production of yellow cake will lead to production of radioactive waste materials, according to the Research Council, The waste material will be temporarily containedat the university before it is taken away for disposal by Amok Corporation, the first contractor signed up by the council. ”

'Ihe reactor project is not merely for scientific investigation but will serve as a service to industry, with the council expecting to receive 40 per cent of the province's ore analysis business, according to the Financial Post. Currently Saskatchewan has no major ore analysis industry.

While the main focus of the project is commercial, Research Council officials stated they hoped that _» university researchers \ would have access to the reactor.

Construction is to begin immediately, ‘with a completion target date set for July 1, 1980. HoweVer uranium mining in Saskat- diewan has become a con- troversial issue in the past two years and
