CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On March 7 Dr. Roman Szporluk, professor of history at the University of Michigan, spoke on "The Ukrainian Press in the Shelest Era." The history of the Ukrainian press since 1945 can be divided into four periods: Stalinism (until 1953-54), de-Stalinization (mid-1950s-early 1960s), the Shelest era (1963-72), and the contemporary period (since 1972). Under Stalinism, the circulation of the Ukrainian press was rigidly limited and restricted to periodicals serving the state apparatus, the agricultural sector, and—to a small extent—the intelligentsia. With de-Stalinization came an extraordinary expansion of the Ukrainian press: circulations became unfrozen and sky-rocketed, and periodicals were founded for urban readers, i.e., for workers (Robitnycha hazeta) and the intelligentsia (Vsesvit, Ukvainskyi istovychnyi zhuvnal) . After some setbacks in the early 1960s (during Khrushchev's last years in power), the Ukrainian press again expanded during the Shelest era. More specialized journals and yearbooks in the humanities and social sciences appeared; there was also a corresponding expansion of periodicals in the exact sciences. Kyiv became the second largest center of press and publishing in the USSR, outpacing Leningrad. Circulations rose; Radianska zhinka and Revets achieved readerships of one million. The popular weekly Ukvaina actively fostered a Ukrainian historical, linguistic consciousness. The press in the Shelest era became the material link in a new partnership between the state apparatus and the Ukrainian intelligentsia; it functioned as a vehicle of vappvochement , at once "sovietizing" the Ukrainians and Ukrainianizing the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. After 1972 the regime abandoned this experiment and returned to a "neo-Stalinist" assimilationist policy, which manifests itself by stifling the Ukrainian press.

At the third Institute seminar of the 1977-78 academic year, held on November 3, Andrij Makuch, fourth-year honors student in history, spoke on "The Ukrainians and the Manitoba School Question: 1916." / In an attempt to mollify the French, the Laurier-Greenway Compromise of 1897 amended the Manitoba School Act to allow for bilingual education where "ten or more pupils" spoke a non-English tongue. It was not foreseen that combinations of English with Polish, German, or Ukrainian would become common. As many of the non-English, non-French immigrants were of the Catholic faith, the French Archbishop of St. Boniface, Abelard Langevin, came to their defence, seeing their native tongue as the "rampart" of their faith, as in the case of the French. His greatest ally in assuring bilingual and predominantly Catholic school districts was the Conservative premier, Sir Rodmond Roblin, who subscribed to a liberal theory of education. However, his powerful but corrupt political machine had neglected to institute much-needed educational reforms. The reform-minded Liberals who succeeded him abolished bilingual education as much to assimilate the children of the foreign-born as to institute certain educational reforms; it was a decision made well in advance of the official study of the bilingual schools' effectiveness in teaching English -- on the basis of which the Liberals claimed it was necessary to abolish the bilingual classes.

XX c.
The Word and Wax explores the fascinating medical folk ritual of wax pouring used by some members of the Alberta Ukrainian community as a means of driving away fear and curing minor ailments. The ceremony is of the magico-religious and oral-incantational genre of folk medicine, incorporating Christian as well as non-Christian imagery. The Word and Wax is essential reading to anyone interested in the rich folkloric tradition brought to Alberta by early Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. The volume includes transliterations of the incantations of nine wax healers who practice or have practiced in Alberta. Among Ukrainians in Alberta, ethnography is the study of everyday people in cultural context. It involves the study of songs and stories, material culture, customs, art, and all types of traditional elements in life. Customs at Christmas, at weddings and other special times reveal the soul of a community. Ukrainian folklore has been associated with the study of village traditions in previous centuries; now it also includes twentieth-century culture, both in Ukraine and in Canada. The Canadian Series in Ukrainian Ethnology publishes scholarship dealing with the culture and folklore of Ukrainians and Ukrainians in Canada. It is published jointly by the Huculak Chair of Ukrainian Culture and Ethnography and the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies. See Ukrainians and Alberta in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine.

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The second Institute seminar took place on October 31 when Frances Swyripa, research associate in the Institute, spoke on "Ukrainian- Canadian Newspaper Holdings in Canada." The speaker indicated where Ukrainian-Canadian newspapers can be found in Canada, i.e., provincial archives and libraries, the Public Archives of Canada and National Library, university libraries, public libraries, and, most importantly, private institutions, and private collections in the Ukrainian community. The extent, condition, and organization of individual holdings is important, especially for the preservation of a record of the Ukrainian press in Canada and easy access for researchers to defunct publications or early issues of today's press. F. Swyripa outlined the microfilming process, including provincial and national microfilming programs, and policies regarding the permanent preservation of the ethnic press.

Ukrainian Canadians and Regional Federalism
Quebec
Bilingualism
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The fifth Institute seminar of the 1977-78 academic year was held on December 1. Dr. Manoly Lupul spoke on " Ukrainian Canadians and Regional Federalism." In his presentation the speaker analyzed the linguistic-cultural situation in Canada, with emphasis on Quebec, and rejected both separation and the present federal arrangement as viable options for that province. Dr. Lupul put forward a new concept, regional federalism, whereby the regions of Canada would institute language policies in accordance with the ethnocultural character of their population. In Quebec French must become the sole language of communication and Dr. Lupul criticized the powerful Anglophone minority in Quebec for its reluctance to learn French. The resulting "one-way' bilingualism, forced the Francophone majority to learn the language of the minority —English— in order to survive in a predominantly Anglophone economic community. Tensions would ease considerably if Anglophones were to use the language of the Francophone majority. Most Quebecers would still require a knowledge of English to survive on the North American continent, while the non-Anglo-Celtic and non-French ethnic groups would have to become trilingual in order to preserve their identity. Ethnic groups in other provinces, however, should be better accommodated within the policy of official bilingualism, and should be allowed to further their cultural and linguistic aspirations. In the Prairie provinces, for example, the larger groups, such as the Ukrainians or Germans, should have access to their native language in education as exemplified by the Ukrainian-English bilingual program in Edmonton, a permanent feature of Alberta's school system.

Topics examined were "Ukrainian power" in the new Conservative government and in the multicultural area itself. The Ukrainian-Canadian community’s power to influence the new government's multicultural policies and programmes was discussed in the context of possible federal assistance to cultural and organizational activities, similar to that given francophone organizations outside the Province of Quebec. Finally, the new government’s possible orientation toward multiculturalism was presented against the background of the "Progressive Conservative Statement on Multiculturalism," issued by the Progressive Conservative national headquarters on 3 May 1979.

Interwar Years

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The seventh Institute seminar at the University of Alberta was presented on 15 January 1980 by Karol Adamowicz, a graduate student in the Department of Educational Foundations. He spoke on "Ukrainian Education in Interwar Poland," focusing on the elementary level. The so-called utraquization of Ukrainian schools, their conversion from a single language of instruction (Ukrainian) to two (Ukrainian and Polish) , tended to poison Polish-Ukrainian relations in the interwar era. The originator of the programme, the National Democrat Stanislaw Grabski, claimed that utraquization would improve these relations. In reality utraquist schools were instruments of Polonization. Ukrainian-language schools were systematically phased out at a rate very nearly proportional to the rate of increase in utraquist schools. As a result, by 1939 very little remained of the Ukrainian educational system that had been established in Galicia under Austrian rule. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 4 Issue 2 (Winter 1980)

Ukrainian Language Instruction in Great Britain and Alberta: Similarities and Contrasts
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The seminar, "Ukrainian Language Instruction in Great Britain and Alberta: Similarities and Contrasts," was presented on November 28 by Ihor Kruk, M.A. candidate in Slavic literature at the University of Alberta. The speaker drew a parallel between the Ukrainian educational systems developed by the Ukrainian-speaking communities of Edmonton and Britain, 60,000 and 20,000 respectively. Whereas the British Ukrainian community has a "ridna shkola" system of 810 pupils in 30 schools with 116 teachers (1977-78), there were 528 pupils in 11 schools with 43 teachers in Edmonton (1978-79). A comparison of the two systems indicates that the British Ukrainians have a more coordinated system of "ridni shkoly" which includes a centralized educational program, visits by inspectors and standardized final examinations. Britain has only one professor at a public university who can teach Ukrainian; Edmonton has five professors of Ukrainian at the University of Alberta. Edmonton also has a bilingual programme in eight schools, with over 700 students in public and separate schools combined, a programme which does not exist in Britain. Alberta also has 34 junior high schools and 18 senior high schools which offer public instruction in Ukrainian. Nothing comparable exists in Britain's state educational systems, though "0" level examinations are available to those who study Ukrainian privately. The speaker also discussed the historical development of Ukrainian language instruction both in state and private "Saturday" schools, programs of teaching and teaching methods, the falling language fluency of younger generations, and teaching requirements for the future.

CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. The final Institute seminar of the current academic year at the University of Alberta took place on March 30, 1978. Dr. J.-P. Himka spoke on "Ukrainian Politics in Galicia, 1860-78." Ukrainians in the crownland of Galicia underwent internal political differentiation in the early years of Austria's constitutional era, a differentiation that dominated western Ukrainian politics into the twentieth century. In the years 1860-78 three political groupings crystallized: Russophiles, Ukrainophiles, and Radicals. Russophiles, in reaction to Polish domination in Galicia, developed an orientation toward tsarist Russia, considering themselves Russians, and rejecting a separate Ukrainian identity. Ukrainophiles and Radicals, however, identified themselves with the Ukrainian nation and employed the Ukrainian vernacular of Galicia in their publications. Although Ukrainophiles and Radicals adopted a similar position on the national question, they differed on social issues. / The speaker outlined the development of the differentiation, emphasizing social and cultural motivating factors.

Ukrainian-Canadian Art: Problems of Definition and Prospects for the Future
Canadian Literature
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. On February 2, Mr. Jaroslaw Balan, a Masters' student in English at the University of Alberta, presented the seventh Institute seminar of the 1977-78 academic year at the University of Alberta entitled "Ukrainian-Canadian Art: Problems of Definition and Prospects for the Future." The speaker addressed himself to the following questions: Is there such a thing as Ukrainian- Canadian art? If so, how does one identify it? Is it useful to classify art in terms of ethnicity in form or content? How does one make distinctions between the definitions: Ukrainian art, Canadian art, Ukrainian-Canadian and Canadian-Ukrainian art? Some observations were made about the emergence of Ukrainian-Canadian art and the possible future of such art. Mr. Balan attempted to develop a set of guidelines— a framework—within which Ukrainian- Canadian art could be discussed coherently and consistently. Most practical examples were drawn from literature and painting. Found in CIUS Newsletter Vol 2 Issue 3 (Winter 1978)

Communism
Ukrainian Communism in Canada
CIUS Seminar Audio Part 1 and 2. "Ukrainian-Canadian Communists and the Kryza in Alberta" was the topic of the seventh Institute seminar of the current academic year at the University of Alberta. Mr. Andrij Makuch, a recent B.A. (honours) graduate in history, and now a research assistant, gave the seminar on January 30, 1979. Ukrainian members of the Communist Party of Canada formed the backbone of the party since its inception in 1921, but played a minimal role in its key functions. They were restricted largely to activity within their foreign-language unit. When the Communist Party undertook a campaign to radicalize all Prairie farmers after the onset of the Great Depression, it sent the Ukrainian farmers into areas where they already had a degree of support, rather than into other fields. Their organizational efforts invoked manifestations of loyalty to their adopted country by Ukrainian patriots and an attempted disassociation of communism from Ukrainians. This was both a recognition of the tenuous acceptance Ukrainians had in Canadian society and a reflection of their genuine belief that the communists were undermining the British ideals which they had adopted as their own. The manner in which these forces played themselves out is best illustrated by events in Alberta, which had the largest Ukrainian block settlement in Canada and was an area of strong communist support.
