SFU faculty take pay cut BURNABY (CP) — Facul ty at Simon Fraser Univer sity have accepted a 2.7-per cent salary cut — believed to be the first pay reduction at a major Canadian universit; since the 1990s depression. Neither university presi- dent William Saywell nor Faculty Association presi- dent Ehor Boyanowsky were happy about the cut, but both said it was necessary because of the university's difficult financial si i enues of $3.3 million from July 1, 1984, to June 30, 1965. The increase has been ap- proved on an interim base OFFICE 365-5210 and is subject to refund with interest if not approved at a public hearing. . Inland also said that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Columbia Natural Gas Ltd., has received an interim rate increase of 2.19 per cent.

He gave no indication what was about to happen.” Argatoff said prisoners are not told their appointment times until shortly before they're brought to the office. He said Dunn's accomplices must have had the jail under surveillance prior to the es- cape. Saanich Const. Robert Ross said the escape was well-planned and carried out with precision.

We have to make sure our salaries are brought back to competitive levels as soon as possible.” He said the faculty's de- cision “shows an unparalleled sensitivity to the economic plight of people around them and an unprecedented level of citizenship” within the university.

Mechanical failure ruled out in crash VANCOUVER (CP) — Air accident inspectors ruled out mechanical malfunction as the reason for Monday's plane crash at the airport at Port Hardy. Transport Canada spokes- man Claire Stewart also said both the plane and the pilot had been checked out and “met all specifications” June 2. The Beechcraft 18 crashed on takeoff from Port Hardy airport, killing Comox pilot Wayne Denny, 42, and eight Washington state fishermen. The eight had been at Rivers Inlet and were on their way home. Witnesses said the twin engine plane may have lost power in one engine. Others said it appeared to be heavily loaded. But Donna Denny, the wife of the dead pilot, said the plane could not have been overloaded because the fish ing party didn't have that much equipment. The plane “reached about 75 feet in altitude, then rolled to the left,” investigators said. “Then the plane's left wing struck the ground. The aircraft landed inverted on the runway and burst into flames.” The team of four inves tigators removed the wreck age today.

U.S. officials said it may be weeks before it is clear whether the Soviets intend to hold the talks in Vienna in September. “We're waiting, but not impatiently,” said one official. Contents of the presidential message were not divulged. But there is no mystery about the U.S. approach: It is to discuss both nuclear and space weapons. The Soviets prefer to talk only about space weapons. Seeking to avoid an impasse, the administration is advising the Soviets that differences over the agenda should be put off until the two sides meet. Dobrynin was given the latest American position Tuesday at a breakfast meeting with State Secretary George Shultz. Dobrynin said afterward they had an “jtem-by-item” sion of U.S.-Soviet i includii the Soviet proposal for talks on banning space-based nuclear weapons. TALKS ‘USEFUL’ Although Dobrynin said the talks were “useful,” State Department spokesman John Hughes declined to provide a similar characterization from the U.S. side. Hughes said Shultz doesn’t want to engage in “back-and-forth rhetoric” on the substance of the meetings with the Soviets; favoring “quiet diplomacy” instead. The Soviets proposed the September talks, and Hughes said that “preparations for b track.” “The United States has accepted the Soviet proposal to meet on this subject (space-based weapons),” Hughes alided. But stressing a U.S. insistence on wider talks, he said: “We have also expressed our intention to put subjects forward of our own that we want to raise, including offensive weapons that go through space.” EYES BROADER TALKS By emphasizing the similarity between some space and other nuclear weapons, the administration hopes to steer the Soviets into broader negotiations. Talks on U.S. and Soviet intermediate-range and strategic arms broke down in Geneva late last year. The Soviets want to keep the issues separate, and have demanded a reversal of U.S. missile deployments in western Europe as a precondition for resuming negotiations. Relations between the two countries have not warmed up, despite the first live exchange on holding nuclear arms talks in, six months. Arthur Hartman, the ambassador to Moscow, was planning to express U.S. readiness to reach an agreement in a televised July 4 U.S. Independence Day speech to the Soviet people. He also was going to say Reagan was prepared to meet Soviet President Konstantin Chernenko. But Soviet authorities barred the speech. The reasons were not disclosed. Hartman also intended to praise the U.S. electoral system and observance of civil liberties in the United States. are on Prices drop to ‘82 levels VANCOUVER (CP) — Lumber prices have slumped to the low levels of the summer of 1962 and there are few signs of an improvement in the next several months. Some British Columbia lumber pro- ducers are already taking down time in their mills and others are contemplat ing shutdowns. A few, however, said they have no plans to suspend pro- duction. The situation is similar in Wash ington and Oregon. Dave Evans, editor of Random Lengths, a lumber and ply wood market reporting service in Portland, Ore., said that other than the usual maintenance and vacation shut- downs, there have been no significant production disruptions on the U.S West Coast. “But,” he added, “people could all good. change their minds quickly if the mar. ket continues to deteriorate.” Western spruce-pine-fir 2x4s were quoted Tuesday at $133 per thousand board feet, down more than $10 in the past month, and down $110 per thou sand board feet from prices reached early in June, 1983. Tom Buell, president of Weldwood of Canada Ltd., said the market is not at “We are back to the 1982 trough, but at that time we could look forward to a recovery in the U.S. economy and an increase in housing starts. Now we face the prospect of a decline in building due to rising interest rates.” The industry learned a hard lesson in 1982 and since then mills have been made more cost-efficient. A: theg have been able to in oper. ations with lumber prices at levels much lower than in the past. The consequence is that lumber has been flooding a market where whole- salers and retailers, who were stuck with large inventories two and three years ago when interest rates started rising, are determined not to be caught in thst position again. Instead, saw- mills are foreed to carry the inventory. Another market indicator was al- most 100 applications advertised in the newspaper this week tc sell logs in the export ‘market.

The Canadian dollar con- tinued its slide Tuesday, closing at 75.71 against the U.S. dollar, Five months ago, Canadian coins all but disappeared from the Puget Sound area when local merchants an- nounced they weren't going to accept them any longer. Now, Canadian shoppers, who once streamed south of the border in search of less expensive goods, are disap. pearing as well. “This year is worse than last,” said Bruce Barlow, manager of the K Mart store in Bellingham, one of the first shopping areas south of Brit. ish Columbia. Jerry Burns, a spokesman for the Whatcom County Chamber of Commerce, put it more bluntly: “The Canadian shopper is not coming down here.” He warned that the trend is just beginning, and said major discount stores re ported revenue down any where from 80 to 50 per cent from a year ago.
