and the students’ society
doesn’t Know what to do
about them.

The Holy Spirit
Association for the Unifica-
tion of World Christianity
(HSA-UWC), one of the 120
names for the Unification
Church, commonly known
as the Moonies, has applied
to the McGill students’
society for recognition as a
student club.

According to Mike
Kropveld, rector of the Cult
Project at McGill Hillel, the
Unification Church ‘‘is a
cult. It uses mind control to
gain recruits, takes away
their free will and basic
freedoms, and works -
towards regression of the

On the evening of

accepting applications from
groups asking for club

believe the
HSA-UWC should be given
club status, but is unsure
on which grounds they can
be refused.

‘“‘We want a way to
refuse them without being

their membership is not
really open to all students,’’
said Hennessy.

The association’s
proposed constitution states
‘individuals attending club
meetings must display a
sincere desire to exchange
religious values. Failure to
display such desire, or
instigaion of disruptive
activities, will cause that
individual to be barred from

Council meeting last
Thursday, Hallgate said

that if there was disagree-
ment in the council on
whether the money should

woman, he would
reimburse the council the
full two hundred dollars.

There was no discussion
on the motion that the ‘gift’
to the student be approved.

Before the MCC meeting,
a number of reliable
sources within the council
expressed their disapproval
of the way that Hallgate
and Shein had handled the
matter and indicated that
they would ‘raise shit’ at
that meeting. However,
there was no mention of
their disagreement in
the meeting.

Also at that meeting, Hall-
gate outlined the new
College Governance system
to be implemented at
Douglas College, where
students would have a very
active role in the way the
college is run.

montreal (CUP) The federal
government has frozen the
amount of money allocated
co Summer job creation, but
officials say the shrunken
student employment
orogram is ‘‘better than
nothing.’’

This year’s grant to help
students find or create
summer jobs is the same as
iast year’s $100 million. But
inflation since last year will
2rode the program’s
ourchasing power.

The unemployment rate
ror students in Quebec in
che summer of 1981 was
about 20 percent, up from
about 17 percent in 1980.

Remi Bujold,
darliamentary secretary to
2mployment and
immagration minister Lloyd
Axworthy, insisted the
orogram was ‘‘better than
nothing.’’ He said present
2cconomic circumstances
nean some programs had
to be cut back.

Despite the decrease in
funds, Bujold predicts more

 

summer jobs by Canada
2mployment centres for
students. He calculates
dlacements will rise from
285,000 to 296,000, and
says this is because the
drivate sector will hire more
students and that students
will work for shorter
deriods, ‘‘say eight or nine
weeks instead of ten.’’
Most post-secondary
students have 16 to 20
weeks available for working
during the summer.

Last year, only 13’000
Montreal students found
jobs through the student
2mployment centres,
although 65,000 had applied
‘or work. About 125,000
dost-secondary
.evelstudents live in the
Montreal area.

The federal government
is also shifting its emphasis
:0 creating jobs with career
dotential.

We will help students
dbtain the experience they
1eed to ease their
integration into the work
‘orce,”’ said Bujold.
