Week awareness of arts

Centre For The Arts Awareness
Week at Simon Fraser University
began Monday November 5 and will
end with a student rally on Friday

 

by RHONDA JESCHKE

 

November 9 from 12-4 p.m. Some of
the activities planned to demonstrate
the opposition to the cutbacks are:
panel discussions, street theatre,
films, performances, open classes and
on Friday, off-campus speakers.

Students and faculty are concerned
about the implications of the cutbacks
SFU’s President Saywell has imposed.
Many of the unique and innovative
programs will be cut, these include:
German, Russian and Graduate Span-
ish language programs and _ Latin
American, African and Middle East
studies. Cutbacks also mean a reduc-
tion in staffing for humanities and the
elimination of the swim team and other
athletics and recreation programs.
Paradoxically, the creation of a new
vice-president of Research and Infor-
mation will cost $100,000 annually.

The Fine and Performing Arts
budget will be cut by one-third.
Saywell says that the theatre and art
gallery must be retained. Sheila
Munroe believes he wants to keep up a
‘public facade’’ .

Officer at SFU thinks that the choices
Saywell made have obvious political
implications. He advises concerned
individuals to look to private funding.
Sheila believes that that action would
compromise research independence
and integrity.

Maggi Guzzi, a representative for
the Media Committee at SFU thinks
the basic question to be asked is, ‘’Are
the Arts a viable academic pursuit.’’

Guzzi believes that the Arts are a
science in their own right and for the :
culture of Canada to progress, fine arts
must continue to be important and

continue to work hand in hand with
technology.

She adds that if our children don’t
have the opportunity to study fine arts,
we will have to import others to teach
the arts.

She hopes the Awareness Week will
enlighten people but thinks that the
areas cut now will take double the time
to re-grow to the stage they have
reached now.

Another solution to the problem, she
says, might be to form a separate
school.

A survey is being distributed around

the SFU campus to raise questions in
people’s minds and to obtain general
information regarding — student’s
thoughts on academic quality at SFU.
There is an ad drawn up to get
endorsements from individuals and
groups for placement in the Vancouver
Sun at the end of November. Those
wishing to contribute may contact
Sheila Munroe of the SF Student
Society at 291-4126.
Ways to protest are: sign the petition
you see on the bulletin boards, form
committees, write to your MLA or
even to Bill Bennett.
