Bugs In Your Broccoli

ST.JOHN’S (CUP) - A.

student discovered grayish green fruit flies in a stem of broccoli she picked up from the salad bar at Memorial University’s cafeteria last week.

“After I had finished the flower part of the broccoli I noticed large bunches of in- sects around its stock. They were definitely alive,” said the student, who asked not to be identified.

Brian Johnson, the uni- versity’s Director of Student Housing and Food Services, said the vegetable was im- ported, and must not have been properly washed before being served.

MONTREAL (CUP) The discovery of a hidden mi- crophone in the offices of the student council has raised fears of illegal police surveil- lance at Concordia Univer- sity.

The microphone — a small metal receiver — had already been disconnected when it was found in the ceil- ing of a student executive of- fice. An electronics expert on the university faculty con- firmed that the object was an illegal listening device.

The discovery came less than six weeks after two Con- cordia students were ques- tioned by agents claiming they were from the RCMP. The students were about their political activ- ities with different campus groups.

One of the Statdents. said an aggressive man, claiming he worked for the RCMP,

after she attended a peace march.

“This fellow said ‘Hello, this is Corporal Duchesne from the RCMP. We’re do- ing an investigation and I'd like to meet you’,” she said.

She said he knew inter- nal details of a Concordia group she was working with and proceeded to mention facts that only had been ex- changed by word of mouth within the group.

In 1983, a Carleton Uni- versity student named Andy Moxley admitted he had been paid by the RCMP to spy on campus _ peace groups. Despite denials by the agency, Solicitor General Robert Kaplan, a week later, told the House of Commons that Moxley had been a paid informant.

Since the creation of the Canadian Security and In- telligence Service (CSIS) in 1984, domestic spying was taken out of the RCMP’s ju- risdiction and transferred to the new agency.

Gerry Cum- mings, a CSIS spokesperson, refused to comment on in- dividual surveillance opera- tions but said there is a pos- sibility some campus groups are being investigated.

“Nobody in this coun- try is exempt from investi- gation if they’re involved in certain acts, whether they be in labour, university, or whatever,” he said. “There

is an understanding however that the free flow of ideas on campus is not to be infringed upon.”

Earlier last week, the Concordia council began a search of its offices

to locate other listening de-

vices. So far, none have been found.

“It’s pretty scary to know that anything we say or do might end up in some file in Ottawa,” said coun- cil co-president Robert Dou- glas. “It shows that some- body thinks students are a threat.” 8
