(Sept. 22 - Dec. 17 )

target: 1,000 subs

200 new readers

As you can see from our scoreboard, another 20 new
readers were added to the Tribune sub rolls in the last week.
And that doesn’t include the tally from the various trade
union conventions presently in session.

This week we are highlighting the Vancouver clubs, and
they have something to show. Almost every club in the city
has a chance to reach their target and go over.

Broadway club is leading over-all, but it’s Vancouver
’ East that has the most new subs with 13 turned in.
With about six weeks left in our drive, we still need to pick
up about 600 subs. That turns out to be about 100 per week,
,| 20 of which should be new subs.
5 pee with us and see how we do. Next week: Vancouver
Sland.

The Tribune’s questionnaire,
published some weeks ago,
generated a response beyond
expectations. About 100 question-
naires and letters were returned to
the Tribune office, with opinions as
diverse as the respondents.

As expected, there was praise
from some, condemnation from
others, and positive suggestions
from most. A full evaluation of the
results will be given in a sub-
sequent issue, but! we'll let you
make your own evaluation of these
comments, taken from the
questionnaires, that are repre-
sentative of the range of views
expressed:

“T find the Tribune a breath of
fresh air to my mind. I look for-
ward to its arrival each week as I
would to the visit of a good friend.
Keep up the good work.”’

“Your problem? Wordiness. You

‘need more strong, short jabs from

Phillips, Magnusson and Dewhurst
and less wordy editorializing.
Rankin says a lot in a few words.
Suggest some classes for staff and
columnists.”’

“The ‘World News’ column is
very good. It gives a brief, but
excellent outlook on significant
world affairs.”’

“The cultural reviews which you

carry (book reviews, movie
reviews) are excellent. I would like
to see more of them.”

“There should be more articles
on Marxism. And if possible
columns on the local music scene
and sport in the socialist world.”

“Less puffy news on the Soviet
Union, more news on Cuba, and
French, Italian and Spanish
Communist. Parties. More
detailed,
articles. Review books on and from
the Canadian left. No “light” ar-
ticles, we’ve got Doug Collins for
that!”’

“Allin all, a very good paper, but
a bit more humor is needed.”

“Please, let’s have more
uplifting articles on the ac-
complishments of socialism. More
exposes on the Maoists’ activities.
The harmful effects of China’s
foreign policy should be brought to
the attention of readers
regularly.”

“I would like to see a page for

in-depth theoretical -

youth that would include such

‘things as a children’s corner,

problems and news of students and
unemployed: youth, and _ sports.
‘Left Wing’ was a good start.”

“Your layout is good. Articles
are easy to digest and a good
source of information for letters to
editor in local papers. A nice sized
paper.”’

“Far too often once a person gets
by the front and back pages, the
Tribune becomes a magazine of
well composed but boring lectures,
rather than a newspaper. In this
way I feel it loses its appeal as a
broad-based organ of people’s
movements and struggles.”

“Live in-depth coverage of
national politics woefully lacking.
International reportage too little,
too late. Tendency to substitute
direct propaganda for well
researched pieces which convince
ee by political presentation of
acts.”’

“TI am very much satisfied with
Tribune as is.”

McGeer at odds with labor code

In his haste to smash faculty
unions at B.C.’s community
colleges, education minister Pat
McGeer is violating the Labor
Code with direct interference in the
affairs of the College Faculty
Federation of B.C.

Under the terms of Bill 82,
McGeer has ordered re-certifica-
tion votes at the six community
colleges in B.C. where faculty have
organized into a trade union.
Faculty must vote on whether they
wish to continue trade union
organization or find ‘“‘alternate
forms of bargaining.”

Not content with merely or-
dering the vote, McGeer also wants
to dictate who will be allowed to

vote, disallowing some union
members the right to vote, and
allowing some non-union em-
ployees the right to vote.

Such interference not only is in
violation of the labor code, and is
an unfair labor practice, but it also
usurps the authority of the Labor
Relations Board which under the
terms of the Code is given the sole
authority to determine the limits of
a bargaining unit.

_ “Tt is our view that a general
process of intimidation and
coercionis inherent in forcing a re-
certification vote by legislation,”
the College Faculties Federation
maintained in a brief to the
government obtained this week by

the Tribune. “Public statements
by the minister and officials of the
ministry constitute intimidation as
defined by the labor code.”

The CFFBC demanded that the
vote be taken according to stan-
dard labor practices and that only
those who are currently members
of the bargaining unit be allowed to
vote.

Other sections of Bill 82 would
bar faculty or students from sitting

on administrative boards of |

colleges, and would bar faculty
from serving on boards even where
they are not employed. That
provision violates basic
democratic rights, the CFFBC
contends.
