WASHINGTON —_ Profes-J

sor Harvey Yoicks, Wimble- don professor of English studies at Bitter U., said he could only talk to me for a few moments about the new biography of Ernest Heming- way. When I came into his office he apologized.

“I’d love to talke to you about the Hemingway book, but unfortunately I have a confrontation with the Stud- ents for an Uptight Univer- sity at 3 o’clock and then another confrontation with the Afro-Polish Society at 4. Then there is a faculty meet- ing at 6 for for the Ad Hoc Committee to Liberate the Dean, which is followed by an antiwar rally I have to at— tend at 9 to defend the Eng- lish department’s use of To]- stoy’s “War and Peace” as a

textbook”.

“If you’re too busy today,” I said, “I’ll see you tomor- row.”

Prof. Yoicksllooked at his calendar. “I’m afraid tomor- row doesn’t look any better. I have a confrontation at 8 o’clock in the Student Union with the Students Against Tomorrow. And there is a possibility that I will be call- ed upon at noon as a media- tor in a dispute over the fac- ulty parking lot which the Radicals for Smaller Cars want abolished. Now, what did you want to ask me about Hemingway?”

“Well, professor, as one of the outstanding experts on..” The phone rang, and Yoicks picked it up. I tried not to overhear, but it was impos- sible not to listen. “YesI sir. You want me to attend the

ENGLISH STUDENTS. EXOIRCISE AT SFU

BURNABY (CUP) — A group of 50 chanting, incense burning students from the English department at Sim- on Fraser University Monday (Oct. 6) marched into, the administration building to “exercise the devil” out of it.

In this case, the devil was administration president Ken neth Strand who, by refus~ ing to negotiate with the uni— versity’s striking department of political science, sociology and anthropology by 12:30 p.m. M o n d a y, guaranteed that at least some of the Eng- lish department’s students would join the PSA depart- ment and students from the history department on strike.

Meanwhile, f o] l 0 win g Strand’s suspension on. Fri- day (Oct. 3) of nine PSA professors for failing to teach

regular classes in the approv- ed manner, SFU student soc— iety president Norm Wick- srtrom has called for a meet- ing of the joint faculty coun- cil for Wednesday (Oct. 8).

The council is the second most powerful body on the cam-pus, after the board of governors. Wickstrom was forced to collect the signa- ture-s of one-eighth of the members of the council to hole the meeting, because Strand refused to call one.

The meeting will discuss the crisis within the univer- sity, and attempt to decide a p o l i c y on the continuing refusal of the SFU adminis— tration to discuss the crisis.

The nine faculty members will not be allowed! to vote at the meeting.

I thought I might turn up Thursday and lecture, just to keep my hand in. You consider this move important? All right, I’ll can- cel the class. Yes sir.”

He hung up, and then push- ed the buzzer. “Miss Sam- uel's, would you make a note that I have a confrontation on Thursday at 3 o’clock with the Students for Lower Grades.”

Miss Samuels’ voice came ve rthe speaker. “But, pro- fessor, you have a previous confrontation with the Mod- erate Radicals for a‘Restruc- tured Renaissance St u d i e 8 Program.”

“We’ll have to postpone that confrontation. The pre- sident wants me at the SLG confrontation instead.”

Miss Samuels said, “Prof. Barley of the International

School wants to know if you’re keeping Friday open for the confrontation with t he Graduate Instructors Grievance Committee. .”

“Damn, I forgot about that. What have I got' on Friday?”

“You have a confrontation w i t h the Inter-Fraternity Headbust-ers Organizat i o n, the Che Guevara Amnesty Committee and the Ho Chi Minh Revolutionary Move ment.”

“Tell Barley I’ll make part of his confrontation, but I won’t be able to stay if there is a slit-in.”

Yoicks turned to me. “Sorry about the interrup- tion. Let me see. You want- ed to know about Heming- way. I‘ found Hemingway a very interesting character. He probably left more of a mark. . .”

A brick crashed through the window with a note on it. Yoicks went over to pick it up. He read the note and said “The New Left Antide-

Miss Samuels came in ex- citedly. “Professor, there a group of students outside who want an immediate cons I frontation with you.” ‘

“You know I’m all booked up for confrontations. Who are they?” ,

They’re your students from your English literature course and they demand- to know when you’re coming back to class.”

Prof. Yoicks said, “Inform that I’ll try to be class a week from Wednesday. In the meantime, tell them to reread $0,000 leagues Under the

The Concept of Holland College

By Lynn. Savage

Although Holland College is temporarily located on UPEI’s' downtown campus, very few of us seem to know exactly what sort of institu- tion. it is, or what its purpose is. With this in mind, The Cadre spoke: to‘Vimy Gre gory, Research Assistant to the Program Planning Co ordinator of Holland College.

According to G r e g o r y, there is a general lack of fur- ther education in occupation- al fields for support staff for the professional or pre-pro fessional. Holland College, which is a college of fine arts and technology, or a com— munity college, will hopefully provide this support staff. For example, a graduate in technical electronics would work between an electronics engineer, and an electronics craftsman from a vocational school such as PVI.

A student is accepted into Holland College with a Grade 12 diploma, and may follow a two or three course in Sec- retarial arts, Basic or Ad- vanced Electronics, Resour- ces Planning, or Commercial Art, all of which are offered this year. Later the college hopes to offer courses in Bus- iness Management, Account- ing, Applied Arts, Land Use Use Planning, Laboratory Technology, X-Ray Techno— logy; Audio—Visual Arts, and possibly an RN omirse.

Besides this, tehy foresee the establishment of a pro vincial technical information centre 0n the site.

A pre-technical program is

planned for high school stud» ‘

ents- and workers who cannot meet the requirements for the regular courses. These five to ten month programs will provide the level needed

to enter the day courses.

About one hundred stud- ents are enrolled this year, but much greater numbers are expected in the future.

The permanent site of H01- land College is not definite as. yet, but the planning com- mittee and Board of Govern- ors have recommended that that it be situated! in Char- lottetown. Wherever its loca- tion, Holland College will be a necessary complement to our higher educational sys—

tem, and provide an oppor- tunity for high school grad- uates who do not go on to university but desire further study.

According to Gregory: “There is a lack of good peo- ple in occupational fields that require post-secondary education.”

Students Elected

Four student senators will shortly take their V seats as members of the University of Prince Edward academic senate. The new senators were chosen from: a list of seven candidates who ran for election last weekend.

The successful candidates, Connie Cullen, Jim Ross, Den- nis MacKay and Richard Montigny, are all experienced in student affairs, and have all held responsible positions either at Saint Dvunstan’s University, Prince of Wales,- or the interim student gov- ernment of the new Univer-

sity of Prince Edward Island. v

The turnout for the voting

to UPEI Senate

was described as being “ex- tremely light,” only 618 stu- dents voting out of a possible 1400. 443 of these voters al- so approved the new student union constitution which was recently completed by the Constitution Committee.

Chief Electoral Officer and Student Union Ombudsman Paul Poiri-er listed the ofin ial election results as follows:

Connie Cullen 516 (elected), Jim Ross» 385 elected, Dennis MacKay 333 (elected), Rich- ard Montigny 313 (elected), Allen Doucette 257, Stephen Foster 226, Peter Sprague 217 ; Constitution approved 443, Total voters 618.

Plioney Football Tickets May [Cost lleO' Council $900

LONDON (CUP) — The student council at the Uni- versity of Western Ontario stands to lose as much as $900 on a. council-sponsored football extravaganza h e 1d the week-end of September 11; the result of counterfeit- ing and some superior mar- keting Iny a student who printed up his own tickets to the affair.

The student undercut the council’s prices by $7 for the university’s annual McGill football weekend, s elling near—perfect imitation tickets at $30 apiece. The counter- feiting was so good it was

only discovered when officials took a head count on the train travelling to Mont- real.

A description of the sales- man has been circulated on the UWO campus.

The incident is the second time in less than a month that this particular form of free enterprise has reared its head at UWO.

In late September, stud)- ents took advantage of a re- gistration bumble and over- crowded classrooms to set up a black market in course re- gistration cards. ,
