friday, Nov. 7, 1980. 4 | SASKATOON [CUP]--Over [50 faculty members at the University of Saskatchewan ire petitioning for the re- noval of a colleague as tead of his department and is a member of several jommittees because of his iriticism of foreign students ind instructors. ' However, the board of fovernors chairperson says dr. T.B. MacLachlan will fot be penalized for. state- Rents he made in the April Ssue of university affairs, e publication of the As- ociation of Universities and olleges Canada. ' MacLachlan said the pre- nce of foreign students ind landed immigrants in asses causes difficulties or Canadian students and at the language problem some foreign instructors totally destroys (their) eaching effectiveness.”’ - MacLachlan also said visa udents and landed immi- ants ‘‘all drive new cars and) have no need to work the summertime in order earn funds.”’ _ More often than not, said MacLachlan, the teaching responsibilities of profes- sors from foreign countries “are secondary to other terests that they have in articular faculties.’’ MacLachlan, department ead of obstetrics and gyne- cology, also supported the WINNIPEG [CUP]--Wester- ers are reacting violently to the Liberal’s constitution lans. When employment and migration minister Lloyd xworthy spoke on the sub- ect at the University of anitoba, bomb _ threats ame pouring in. — Although Axworthy was ustled off the stage when campus police began receiv- ing the threats, the large audience of students were allowed to remain where he bomb was supposed to xplode. Those in atten- dance were not even told of the possible threat. Two calls were made to campus police warning of the imminent explosion. Both calls were made by the same person. The caller claimed he was from an organization called theWestern Alliance Group Against Pierre Trudeau. Axworthy, in mid-speech, was notified by student council president Jim Egan ' Removal petition controversial TV presenta- tion the campus giveaway, a segment of CTV’s public affairs program W5. The show alleged that visa stu- dents were crowding out Canadian students in some universities. He had not seen the program. Christine Pastershank, chairperson of the board of governors, said no action will be taken against Mac- Lachlan because he expres- sed a personal viewpoint in the letter and did not write as a representative of the university. “There is no evidence that MacLachlan’s attitude denied anyone promotion or tenure’’, she said, in re- sponse to the suggestion that he be removed from those committees. Dr. B.S. Ranshawa, the professor who organized the petition against MacLachlan believes an attack was dir- ected at people of Oriental and Asian origin. “It’s a mistake on his part to call people who have emmigrated from _ their motherlands and taken up Canadian citizenship ‘‘for- eigners’’, he said. ‘‘This is putting them in the place of second class citizens.”’ ‘‘I agree you have to have a certain level of compe- tence in the language but we can set up mechanics for this without making gene- ralizations.’’ ONSTITUTIONAL PLANS Axworthy threatened of the bomb threat. Egan told the audience Axworthy had received ‘‘an important phone call’. Axworthy and company then left the stage. An officer of the Winni- peg police department said he had never heard of the group. He added, however, that if the group was of any consequence all information on them would be contained in a file with the RCMP subversives unit, and as such would have to remain completely confidential. University officials de- clined comment on why the area was not evacuated after the bomb threat. Campus police officer Charles Wall, however, said it would have been safer to clear the area. In the end, no bomb was found. In an unrelated incident, a molotov cocktail was toss- ed through the window of Axworthy’s Winnipeg con- stituency office October 25.

Lesinsnsitintiatesiai Not all pub nights at Douglas College have made money. A financial report on Sur- — rey’s pub on Oct. 17 has not been drawn up, but student society predicts a loss. This is as a result of damage caused at that pub for which student society will be billed for. The pub night at New West on Oct.10 lost approx. $100. This.was due to the additional cost of live band ‘The Bashers.”’ Burnstad predicts the New West and Richmond pubs on Friday to break even. page three S budget report The Canada Games pool night on Oct. 11 suffered a deficit of $266. This was due, according to Burnstad, because of poor publicity which led to a turn-out of only 15 people. Despite these revenue losses, Kevin Hallgate, stu- dent society president, is optimistic about this semes- ter’s budget. ‘‘This is the first time in three years that the student society has the potential for a budget surplus. If this is the case, then any surplus will be put into the activi- ties fund for next semes- ter,’’ he said. \ Oar invitation list is long, the wine list can be short. Ua Ge as FOR SHARING.
