5 b PAGE: 4 September :26;:1985 The = 7 = Other » Douglas College’s Autonom Ad Lib Apartheid You don’t need another editorial condemning the smug evil of that crumbling system. The true ‘‘Moral Majority’, the vast majority of the citizens of the western world, can no longer support a concept which makes the Gulags and repression of the USSR look like a summer camp. But you know this. Why, then, are we telling you this again? Because we here at the Other Press have found ourselves ina moral dilemma. We are under contract, until October 21st, to print adds for Miller Beer. Miller is brewed in Canada by Carling O’ Keefe Breweries, which is ultimately owned by the Rembrandt Tobacco Corp. This South African giant is notorious for its gross exploitation of black workers, and its owners are prominent supporters of the Botha government. We do not want to print these ads. But we are under legal obligation. Therfore, we have taken a staff decision - to print the ads, until Oct. 21st, but to donate all proceeds to the Student Senate’s Famine Relief Week. It is only fitting that these funds, which can be traced back to the exploitation of South African blacks, should be returned to aid their suffering brothers. We also urge you to think seriously the next time you buy a beer or a pack of smokes. The following brands supply profits the their South African owners, and thereby support apartheid: Black Label, O’Keefe Ale, Old Vienna, Heidelberg, Carlsberg, Extra Old Stock, Jordon Wines, St. Michelle Wines, BEausejour wines; and Craven A, Sportsman, Dunhill, Number ie Rothmans, and Peter Stuyvestant cigarettes. There are many fine Canadian Owned brands. We urge you to buy them, instead. )SB This page of The Other ‘Press is reserved solely for the purpose of correspondence and opinion.

Box 2503, New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada, V3L 5B2 Business Telephone: 522-6038 [604] Wednesday, September 25, 1985 This morning a ‘‘Special Edition’’ of the Other Press has been circulated to the students, in which the conduct of the Student Society Executive has been questioned. It was alleged that your Executive was keeping secrets from the Senate and the Student body. What you weren’t told is that your President walked into the Other Press offices and gave them the entire story, as he felt it was appropriate that the students be informed. At issue is a total of $76,000.00 which was invested with the North- land Bank for consecutive thirty day terms at the most favorable rate of interest, which |, as Acting Treasur- er, could secure at the time. Recently, the Northland Bank has been under- going financial difficulties, and the status of our $76.000.00 investment was in some question. Since that time, we have received $60,000.00 of our original investment, leaving a balance owing to us of $16,000.00. The Executive immediately took the necessary steps to determine the fate of the outstanding $16,000.00. We contacted the Northland Bank, who informed us that they were indeed still in.operation, and that a Curator (Touche Ross & Co.) had been assigned by the Government. of Canada to supervise the operations of Northland until such time as the bank is either restructured or a merge takes place with another bank. We were also informed that a committee of the Canadian Depositor’s Insurance Cor- poration had been convened to exam- ine cases such as ours, in which an outstanding amount was still owed by Northland to a depositor. We have also been in contact with Scott Palmer, of Yada, Thompkins & Co., accountants for the Student Society, and we were further encour- aged by Mr. Palmer’s extremely optimistic prediction as to the fate of the $16,000.00. According to Mr. Palmer, there is no indication that we will not receive the balance of our investment. In fact, all communication between the Executive and those companies and agencies involved in the restor- ation or possible dissolution of North- land has been extremely encouraging. (cont. page 5)
