CUS de feated
The mathematician-returning officers added the totals five times and eventually needed an official recount to determine the results of the CUS referendumwithdrawal by 17 votes in a 2508 turnout. X Chief returning officer Graham Sutherland, math 3, announced the final count at noon Tuesday: 1156 to remain in the Canadian Union of Students, 1173 to withdraw and 179 spoiled. The large number spoiled was due to blanks on CUS where people only voted for federation president. The turnout represented 28.9 percent as one of CUSS strongest supporters and home campus of its president Peter Warrian left the union. The referendum, called by past federation president Brian Iler in October, is binding. Re-elected federation president John Bergsma, who did not take a stand on CUS membership before the referendum, said, “The results are inconclusive. It shows students feel there is a need for a national student union, but they feel there are organizational or other weaknesses in CUS.” Tom Patterson, former federation vicepresident, was disappoint‘ed because the. result’was based on ignorance of the real nature of CUS and a political reaction to some of the anti-capitalist, antiimperialist policies adopted by the delegates in Guelph in september. “However,” said Patterson,
“There is no real loss in the defeat of CUS on this campus. My concern is for the creation of a revolutionary movement-something a consensus organization like CUS cannot be.” The radical student movement had not participated in either the CUS referendum or the presidential election. Engineering students, both on campus and off, were the only group to vote decisively for withdrawal. Arts and math supported remaining in CUS, while other constituencies were reasonably close. While the referendum or the presidential election. l Engineering students, both on campus and off, were the only group to vote decisively for withdrawal. Arts and math supported remaining in CUS, while other constituencies were reasonably close. While the referendum is binding, Waterloo has paid its fees for the year and will remain eligible for CUS services until the next congress in September. Rejoining the union will require a referendum called by the president or the student council, unless the council agrees to accept the result of a student-generated referendum. For practical reasons, the referendum must come this term if Waterloo is to participate in the policy-making at the next congress.
TORONTO (staff )-Real live flesh and blood policemen complete with one riot helmet added a touch of realism Wednesday night to the Toronto Student Movement’s re-enactment of the 1964 Mario Savio free speech debacle.
John Bergsma has been reelected president of the Federation of Students. He took 60.7 percent of the vote. with Larry Burko a distant second at 23.2 percent and Ron Golemba third with 6.8 percent. Bergsma will begin his full-year term march 1. The turn-out of 28.9 percent was the lowest ever for a presidential election. Turn-out last election was almost exactly double at 57 percent. 236 ballots (9.3 percent) were spoiled ; more than ever before. 20 percent of the arts vote were spoiled ballots. The unusual number of spoiled ballots was due to numerous write-ins. Brian Iler received about a hundred of the
write-ins . Other write-ins ranged from Tiny Tim to Gerry Hagey. Bergsma took every constituency except math where Burko beat him by two votes. Engineering gave Bergsma his heaviest support with out-term students, mainly engineers, also solidly behind him. His poorest showing was in arts where his 40 percent was only double the percentage of spoiled ballots. Golemba did poorly in all constituencies except his former residence, St. Jerome’s, where he came second with 31 percent. Bergsma’s percentage was slightly higher than the november election, but his vote support decreased from 2741 to 1537.
Coincidentally, Kerr was also the speaker as well as University of California president during the original incident when Savio was arrested during the height of the free speech movement at Berkeley. Wednesday’s demonstration was to protest the presence of Kerr in Toronto. The TSM felt Kerr was present to “pass the strategy of cooption to U of T president Claude Bissell” or teach him how to buy off radical demands with liberal but minor concessions. At this time, a solemn procession of students moved to the stage, followed by a not-so-solemn of museum guards. procession Several of the students were

dressed as policemen, while Phil Resnick, a leading spokesman for the TSM, played the part of Savio in a cap and gown. Another student in the audience played a tape recording of the speech Kerr was giving in 1964, just prior to Savio’s arrest, on the values of free speech. By this time, many in the audience were on their feet rhythmically clapping. , A shouting match ‘ensued during which of students a group climbed to the stage. In the mist of this confusion, a dozen members of the Toronto police force, one wearing a riot helmet, slipped into the back of the hall, where they remained for the rest of the evening. Many of the students on their feet were asking to be allowed to speak and refute what Kerr had said, while the audience remained evenly divided as to who should have the floor. B&e11 pleaded for an end to the turmoil, suggesting Kerr be given 15 minutes to speak to be followed by Andy Wernick, a leader of the TSM. Order was finally restored. Kerr continued on much the same tack during his 15 minutes as he had before the interruption, concluding that the American university will eventually prevail (overcome its present difficulties). Bissell then introduced Wernick, who gave his analysis. He felt universities were merely machines into which human beings were fed and technologists, engineers and lawyers emerged. “I think Kerr has not, as he said, shown the truth in his book,” continued Wernick, (referring to

uses of the university, published by Kerr in 1963 1 “Basically Kerr is here as a president of a company, visiting the branch office to tell the manager how to put down the natives. That’s how the American and Canadian universities relate to big business.” j An early hint of what was to come occurred when two students *presented Kerr with a bouquet of red roses before Bissell’s introduction. However before the drama unfolded, Kerr managed to present part of his lecture on discontent in American higher education. He spoke briefly of the advantages Canadian education has compared to that of the U.S. His views of America’s universities held a touch of Charles Dickens as he described the present situation as “the best of times and the worst of times”. Under the best classif ication, he touched on increased federal aid without federal control, the doubling of student enrolment in the last 10 years, and the rise of American universities to a model position. His list of the worst was somewhat longer. Overcrowded and over-large campuses, said Kerr, turned the university into an environment instead of a community. He was also unhappy with the universities’ over-concern with science and the industrial-military complex. These. along with several other faults, such as congressional committee control, left a less-than-pleasant picture. the

Student council voted last week overwhelmingly to have students represented on the board of governors-senate committee that will work out the details of the singletier university government announced by the administration friday. . Council also stated the committee’s meetings should be open. Both these points were omitted from the administration’s press release. The motion arose. out of a gene-, ral discussion of the single-tier proposal. Council decided to wait until the next meeting to decide what their actual stand should be on the various details that remain to be worked out.

Interim administration president Howard Petch ‘attended the meeting to answer questions on the proposal. He was cornered on the issue that gave rise to the only motion. He admitted the original proposal had been basically rubberstamped by board and senate after the decision had been made in a committee. Petch conceded that the ad-. ministration’s press release did not say anything about student representation or openness on the committee that will work out the final details, However, he said nothing in the release precluded these things.

REGINA (CUP)-Students here began consolidating tuesday in attempts to fight the University of Saskatchewan board of governors in the student union fees fight. A meeting of 1200 and 1500 students voted to organize leafleting and educational measures such as speaking to pubIic meetings, extending research for analyzing the role of the university in society and putting out a mimeographed daily paper. More militant motions to boycott the campus and to picket the .homes and businesses of members of the board of governors ‘were defeated. A motion of non-confidence in the student council, whose negotiations with the board in the. dispute broke down again the day before, was also defeated. The meeting followed overnight strategy talks on the campus as an extension of an all-day teach-in held monday while students boycotted classes.

Library facilities are supposed to be a warehouse of knowledge but books are still scarce.
Library budget debated
”
The joint arts-engineering-mathscience library committee met february 5 with the deans to discuss the need for an increase in library budget. Mrs. D. Lewis, head librarian, said the whole approach to estab-lishing a library budget is wrong. “Being a university-wide resource, the library’s budget shouldn’t be siphoned off from faculty allocations (which is the present system) but should have an equal chance to get a proportionate budget. ” The recommendation was made at a former meeting to take 10% off the top of the university operating budget and set it aside as a first priority for the support of the university library. “This lo%,” said Kish Hahn, engineering faculty, “would have to be taken from other areas where there are already great needs. ” Howard Petch, administration interim president, stated the 10 percent was not realistic, and that redistribution of a percentage of the budget would be a tremendous undertaking. Petch suggested that any extra funds be set up as a capital library fund without respect to the fiscal year rather than having to spend any surplus by the end of June. This would allow more efficient spending. The proposal under examination is that the library systems of all faculties be pooled into one ’ budget at the beginning of the year. This would create a strong,
Pub rules
effective pressure group for funds. “We must use whatever set-up will produce the most money,” said Petch. “The faculty reps must make their voices heard.” The arts library especially is in need. The Canada council gave the arts faculty $48,000 as a direct grant but the provisions are inadequate as $868,000 was the total controlled budget for ‘68 - ‘69, with an approximate 25 percent increase requested for ‘69- ‘70. Mrs. Lewis said, “There is not nearly enough strength in depth to support the studies and this problem is magnified in graduate works (this is where the pressures for deeper material come). There are few duplications-we usually choose a new title rather than duplicate. ” Arts dean Jay Minas said though the arts library collection is small, its acquisition policy is more discriminating than at other universities. The books are chosen for their value and effectiveness as resource books. “We all agree we must do better by the arts library,” said Petch. As for the other faculties, math dean Dave Sprott said that he hears “many complaints on the work of computers,” but no one complains to him about books. “The grads are pleased with EMS library books, though there is still book pressure in science. It is probably in the arts library where the problems lie,” -said Petch.

ID needed Those under-21 quaffers who frequent the campus center pub should consider themselves lucky. In order to enjoy the privileges of the University of British Columbia’s recently opened student-operated pub, the Pit, potential members must submit three pieces of identification proving they are 21 before being issued a membership card bear- ing their picture. A big but amiable bouncer is on duty to make sure the exclusive nature of the club is maintained. The club, operating thursday evenings from 4: 30 to 9 pm, is still on an experimental basis. Student president David Zirnhelt describes it as being a one-shot thing which if successful will lead more events of a similar nature. A coffee house during the day
at UK
and a Bavarian beer garden at night, has been suggested by Jerry GSchmidt, chairman of the Student Club which operates the Pit. The plan will go into effect if the pub is a success. More than 100 persons attended the pit the first evening it was open to drink beer-the only alcoholic beverage on sale. Students generally agree that a pub on campus was an improvement though some voiced complaints as to shortage of tables and chairs and a lack of atmosphere. UBC’s pub operates on a somewhat different basis than does the one on campus. For each event in the pub here a banquet license for special events is obtained. This requires less stringent control than the permanent license used by the UBC group.
“There is going to be a mass student-workers mobilization against the present system in West, Germany,” stated Karl Deitrich Wolff on tuesday. Wolff, co-chairman of the West German Students for a Democratic Society, was speaking in the campus center under the sponsorship of the federation external-relations board. Wolff stated the main reason for his speaking tour is to inform Canadian students of the motivations for the mobilizations at West German universities, and also give some idea of the repressions against German students during the last few years. “You may wonder why students had to stone the car of Kurt Keisinger, an ex-Nazi, now chancellor of West Germany, exactly 20 years after the liberation from fascism. It has largely been neglected by the rest of the world that West German society is moving to the right again. “Last year the West German parliament passed emergency legislation which allows it to illegalize strikes, use troops against demonstrations, and wiretap.” “There has even been a law proposed to allow the preventive arrest of demonstrators.” Wolff went on to describe the political situation at the university level. “For years students have been demanding reform and participation in the decision-making process of their universities. We had to learn the hard way the university could not be free in a society that was not free. The university officials responded only when students began to break set rules.. .only when students began to relate their fight for a democratic university with the fight for a democratic society.. . .only when students realized they were being hated as a minority group as much as German Jews were hated in 1933.” “Last year was the first time we have been able to bring masses out into the streets,” said Wolff. “More than 150,000 people, highschool students and young workers as well as university students, demonstrated against the shooting of Rudi Deutchtke and the hate being spread by the Springer Press. ” Wolff described a Berlin demonstration against the Vietnamese war in february 1968, which involved more than 20,000 people. * The city senate organized a counter-demonstration with the factories giving workers time off, in order to regain the favor of the Americans. Student bystanders were almost killed by the hate-filled crowds. “We are now organizing on a perspective of resistance at the level of the highschool, university, factory and the army. For the first time in 100 years students are turning to the left in a time of crisis.” To stop the popularity of the movement and to eventually destroy it, the political powers of West Germany began trials against organizers of the movement. “Two thousand trials are now pending and many
in revolt sentences’ have been passed, ” explained Wolff, “some of them for one or more years, just for having participated in a demonstration.” “The forces of repression are now mounting in western Europe and that kind of repression is not irrelevant to you either. “Contradictions in your society are not as obvious or as easily fought as they are in West Germany because of the more liberal understanding present here. We feel the understanding of our experiences in past years is worthy of your analysis too. ’ ’ When Wolff called for questions from the audience, a student accused him of telling only half-truths in his speech. The student stated the SDS is split, lacks significant support among young workers, talks down to workers because it does not know how to speak to them because of lack of experience as workers. Wolff countered these. statements with examples and explanation. “The German professional press can give no one the true picture of the movement,” explained Wolff. The incident which seemed to suggest a split in the SDS was caused by a small group of members who sympathized with the Bulgarian state police who were trying to break up an anti-American imperialism sit-in at the U.S. embassy. The majority in SDS didn’t want this small minority who did not want to fight. “One third of the active paricipants in -1967-68 were young workers. We have been able to stabilize and increasingly mobilize young workers during this past year. All the leftist movements in Europe have had a long history of education of labor within the programs of the labor unions.. . .A11 working class tradition was destroyed by German fascism. 80,000 organizers of the social democracy were killed-a whole generation. This has not created a situation very favorable to the reconstruction of the working class movement.” Much of the work of the West German SDS is not publicized in the national press. The reason is if any SDS-supported projects such as clandestine, factory newspapers were mentioned, the liberal press would have to reveal that workers are organizing politically at an acceleerated rate. In addition to young workers, the SDS has been able to organize law students who do not want to become “subject-matter idiots” and “helpers of the reactionary process”. A syndicate of leftist lawyers has been formed in Berlin and national organizations of leftist teachers and architects have been formed. The left has begun to use cultural aids such as books, movies and radios to sell itself. The SDS has avoided political involvement such as the running of candidates or the formation of a national party. Wolff explained they do not see any need to involve themselves in elections where no decisive questions are raised. Student government and workers’ councils are the only relevant areas of involvement at the present time.
%7humcmJcourses, topics of PsychSoc by Alex Smith Chevron staff
Training technicians for statistical roles is the purpose of a psychology course according to two Uniwat professors. Speaking at last monday’s meeting of the Psychology Society, assistant Professor R. D. Seim stated the value of new trends in “sensitivity” psychology training was essentially the opinion of “idealists”. Students, he said, had to get out into an individual helping situation before they could realize the background necessary to achieve results. Responding to student complaints that the course was drained of humanity and was concerned only with running rats, associate professor Pat Rowe echoed Seim’s opinion. Both Seim and Rowe were in clear conflict with the majority of students present as well as applied psychology professor G. BarrettLennard whose course deals with clinical rather than experimental practices. Discussion centered around the
evaluation debate
topic of what exactly could be done with a BA degree in psychol%Y* Panelist Seim and Rowe pointed out the only available jobs for BA graduates were those of testing, personnel work and functions. Students suggested that a course stressing new ideas in group dynamics-compressed encounter therapy, for example, in which participants break down artificial social barriers to reach each other on an intensely personal level-would make a BA graduate better able to assume a therapy role, and therefore a more meaningful working experience. Although no consensus was reached between students and professors, panel chairman D. Meichenbaum urged the question be reconsidered and developed more fully at further PsychSoc meetings. Earlier in the evening, the complaints committee set up earlier this year to explore means of presenting student criticisms to professors offerred a plan for student evaluation of each professor’s manner and course. friday,
Third-year committee spokesman Ross Taylor stressed the questionaire was to be handled by individual instructors and would not be either published or treated as an anti-calendar. Recommendations were accepted to complete negotiations with faculty for distribution and naming of Student assistants for assessment of results. Questions would include students opinion .of joint studentfaculty control of curriculum, evaluation of texts and lectures, comment on instructor mannerisms and usefulness of tutorial sessions as well as space for suggestions of course changes. This questionaire would be distributed once this term and would be followed by a study of ways and means of producing a comprehensive, widely distributed course by course, instructor by instructor evaluation. Other matters discussed at the meeting included publishing of a PsychSoc newspaper and naming of a social co-ordinator to plan activities in addition to the bi-monthly society meetings. february

Suddenly he’s taking over as interim president of Uniwat (ugh! -to the name. not Howiej-or president pro-tern as th’e administration bureaucrats and John Bergsma will refer to it. And then Doug Wright, former engineering dean and now university-affairs committee chairman in the Robarts ruling junta, was dismissed as a front-running candidate after a strong rumor came out of Ottawa that he was planning to take a position with external-affairs in the external aid section. Shortly thereafter the local media (god bless them) realized he existed and talked of him as a possible candidate after he made some liberal address on the state of university education. Then came Wright’s appearance at engineering night about two weeks ago. This was certainly unusual for him, even though Uncle Gerry ,was giving a swansong appearance. My contacts in engineering tell me the only other time they can remember Doug attending an engineering night since he quit being dean was a night in October 1967 when he brought his limericks book and played guest speaker. ,4nyway at Hagev’s farewell-and-plaque-presentation appearance two weeks ago, Hagey bought the boys a round of refreshments as he always has done at his fairly regular engineering-night appearances. Then he rhetorically asked the assembled body if his successbr would continue the same practice. Uncle Gerry’s glance immediately fell to his right-a direction which happened to coincide with the seating of Doug Wright. ’ Hagey’s glance became more of a stare and Wright kept gazing around the room, apparently aware that almost everyone was looking at him. Incidentally. Howie Petch was also present and on Hagey‘s right, but spokesmen felt he was sitting too far from Uncle Gerry to be the object of the attention. At the same time as Doug’s stock went up at engineering night, another rumor reached this writer. Wright’s superliberal technocratic genius has been appreciated by the Robarts ruling provincial junta. John Parmenter Robarts may be stepping down soon to be replaced by Wright’s immediate boss-education and university affairs minister Bill Davis. That would leave a big gap in the cabinet, and people in the know wouldn’t be surprised to see Wright chauffered into the legislature to become education and university affairs czar. Meanwhile. back to Howie Petch. In the summer of 1967 when Gerry Hagey personally, brought Petch here from McMaster to be academic vicepresident. it was expected Howie would be Uncle Gerry’s pick as successor. because high-placed persons of that day readily admitted there was nobody in the university at the time who could take’ the administration presidency. Except for missing the glance at engineering night and perhaps a few personal reservations. signs are again pointing to Howie Petch taking the job full-time eighteen months from now. When Petch first came to the university he was known to believe that he might take on the job in three to five years. That was a yearand-a-half ago. Now Petch says he’ll be interim president for-a maximum of a year-and-a-half. Very interesting. As for Petch’s personal reservations, dealings external to the university and public-speaking rank high. This leaves open the possid or division of d

FASS wouldn’t be FASS without Ken Fryer. However it might be good. Ross McKenzie ran the last decent FASS night two years ago and he left saying that Fryer had to go. The show was, to say the most, drivel. The first act, although overlong, began well with the Don Frise orchestra; however it degenerated into unnecessary schmaltz over the leaving of GerFy Hagey.

The skits were in general rambling. They seemed overlong and never made it to a climax. The dancing numbers were almost fair but highly lacking. The overall lack of humor in the first act was only too noticeable. The frosh medley was the highlight of an otherwise sad act. The second act stole your stomach and then turned it inside out. The number labelled the Jolly Reesor was undoubtedly the ultimate low of the show. It made no sense and had no real beginning or end. The Frank Diary, though well acted and thought out, had no place in a satirical review. The number concerning the crumbling wall took the rest of the show down with it. This section was the lead-up to the finale and somehow failed.

At a Kitchener council committee meeting monday, mayor Sid McLennan, chairman of the pom lice commission, stated he would order an investigation into the * city’s contract with Curly’s TOWing Service. “There is a strong possibility in reopening the case with the commission that there police will be changes forthcoming,” he said. The complaint was raised first by aldermen Robert Wagner and, Joseph Mattson who questioned both the good name of the firm and the method of awarding the towing contract by the Kitchener police commission.

in city
Originally Kitchener city towing ran on the basis that all companies providing the service in the vicinity took their turn at various intervals. When this didn’t prove satisfactory, the contract was put up for tender and it was awarded to Curly’s in 1959. The contract is on a month to month basis, with either party able to cancel provided they give 30 days notice. The charges for towing at Curly’s are $10 an hour between 7 am and 7 pm and $12 an hour between 7 pm and 7am, as well as $1.50 a day for storage. Also Walter Pieper, manager of Curly’s said there was a $6 charge for
any Kitchener-Waterloo resident claiming his car between 8 pm and 7 am. Mayor McLennan stated in council that this was one of the major complaints against Curly’s. Inspector John Ulmer, head of the Kitchener police traffic division, said his department had had no recent complaints about Curly’s service. Funny then that the University of Waterloo recently rejected Curly’s in favor of Active Towing. Funny too that after H.D. Wilson made a few editorial remarks about the company, almost all three hours of CHYM’s Talkback monday morning consisted of people wifh Curly complaints.

San
State strike
Francisco
.Police start SAN FRANCISCO (LNS)-The strike at San Francisco State has dragged on for two long months, with- virtually every aspect of confrontation sooner or later included. Mass arrest, the one previously missing ingredient, was finally added on thursday, january 23, as over 400 people were busted while trying to hold an “illegal” on-campus rally. The scenario at State has included almost everything else : students, teachers and employees on the picket lines; many bandaged heads, patched eyes, .and boarded windows; marching squads of tactical police appearing unexpectedly around the corner. Every day rows of cops and circling picketers form a tensionforbe field, through which pass the oblivious, impassive, or occasionally antagonistic scabs. Intermittent scuffles only intensified the continuous battlefield atmosphere. Thursday, however, the crowds were swollen and unusually anxious : at noon, the first attempt in weeks to defy the ban on-campus demonstrations would happen. With the inevitable National Guard helicopter hovering overhead, and groups of policemen appearing on roofs, demonstrators began leaving the picket lines to mass on campus as the hour approached. The rally started promptly at noon. Roger Alvarado, a leader of the Third World Liberation Front, opened the meeting: “We’re here to teach them what the power of the people means.” Response from the thousand pressed m - mm m _-___---____-___-----History analysis and more of the strike can be found centre spread. ’ ----__--_-_-_-_____________

Police confront San Francisco students with billy clubs while making mass arrests durina ‘I a rally. GINS photo u march from several directions on the defiant crowd. Suddenly, the cops burst from their tight formations and charged, breaking the demonstration into big clusters of hurriedly shifting people. When the brief surge settled, everyone realized at one that police had surrounded the central core of the demonstration at the speakers platform. Tension built while waving clubs held back the entrapped people and deterred those who would join-or freethem. Goaded by the sight of the helpless group snared at the platform, several hundred demonstrators broke for the library, sending the thin band of police guarding the entrance fleeing before them into the building. Billiard balls and other missiles shattered the glass doors before reinforcements cleared the area. Now police vans began driving across the walkways to pick up the captured vanguard. It became obvious that the authorities had already decided upon mass arrests. Slowly, one by one, people were plucked from the group, frisked, photographed, and shoved into wagons. So many captives were taken that a bus had to be pressed into service. Long skid marks were streaked along the walkway by van drivers, who would accelerate madly, swerve wildly, and then slam on the brakes, tumbling their passengers inside the wagon. The final arrest totals were somewhat sobering. Some 480 people were taken into custody, including most of the student leaders and various ‘members of
the American Federation of Teachers, among them Dr. Nathan Hare, acting chairman of State’s black studies department. Most were charged with misdemeanors, such as unlawful assembly or failure to disperse ; several charges of felonious assault on a policeman were also levelled. The big bust will probably initiate a new and more militant phase to the strike. Previously, a total of 189 persons had been arrested, never more than 10 or 20 in any single action. Since classes resumed following the prolonged Christmas vacation, massive campus demonstrations had been avoided while increased community support was being mobilized. The AFT local at SF State gave a New Year boost to the strike by staging its own walkout. While ostensible labor grievances were cited, it was generally understood that the teachers struck to support the students Already, the benefits of wider support are becoming apparent. Union members have refused to cross AFT picket lines to service the state campus. Some of the schools’ workers have come together in their own organizing committee and have proclaimed their own strike. The results are visible. Classroom attendance has consistently been below the 20 percent mark. The cafeteria has been closed for over two weeks, and dormitory food service has been discontinued. The library, hampered by striking staffers and a determined effort to scramble the shelving process, is increasingly useless.

Sociology has risen to ‘prosperity on the blood and bones of the oppressed It owes its prestige to. its ability to
give advice to the ruling class about ways and meansof keeping the people down by Martin
Nicolaus
mperial wars such as the one against Vietnam are usually two-front wars, one against the foreign subject population, one against the domestic subject population. The Secretary of Health, Educaton and Welfare is a military officer in the domestic front of the war against people. Experience in the Vietnam teach-ins has shown that dialogue between the subject population and its rulers is an exercise in repressive tolerance. It is, in Robert S. Lynd’s words, dialogue between chickens and elephants. He holds some power over me; therefore, even if he is wrong in his arguments he is right, even if I’m right, I’m wrong. There is some hope-even though the hour is very late-that among the members and sympathizers of the sociological profession gathered here there will be some whose life is not so sold and compromised as to be out of their own control to change or amend it. While the officers of this convention and the previous speaker were having a big meal in the hotel, 1 was across the street in a cafeteria having a hot dog and two cups of coffee. This may be why my perspective is different.
I
Secretary
of
disease
The ruling elite within the socio/ogy profession is in charge of what is called Health, Education and Welfare. Those of you who listened passively to what he had to say presumably agreed that this definition, this description of what the man did, carried an accurate message. Yet among you are many, including the hard researchers, who do know better or should know better. The department of which the man is head is more accurately described as the agency which watches over the inequitable distribution of preventable disease, over the funding of domestic propaganda and indoctrination and over the preservation of a cheap and docile reserve labor force to keep everybody else’s wages down. He is, therefore, Secretary of disease, propaganda and scabbing.
Essayist Norm Chomsky, writing in the New York Review of Books suggests too many social scientists search for problems which reinforce the definitions of the technique they have mastered. They often express their contempt, says Chomsky, for “flimsy premises involving public world opinion” that restrict application of their “skills”. Found among behavioral scientists, therefore, are technicians who design and carry out “experiments with population and resource control methods”. Chomsky continues, “these factorsaccess to power, shared ideology and professionalization interact in such a way as to pose a serious threat to the integrity of scholarship in fields that are struggling For intellectual content. “What is more, the subversion of scholarship poses a threat to society at large. The danger is particularly great in a society that encourages specialization and stands in awe of technical expertise.
This may be put too strongly for you, for you, but it all depends on where you look from, where you stand. If you stand inside the Sheraton Hotel these terms are offensive, but if you gentlemen and ladies would care to step agross the street into Roxbury you might get a different perspective and a different vocabulary. If you will look at the social world through the eyes of those who are at the bottom of it, through the eyes of your subject you will endow population, -if those eyes with the same degree of clearsightedness you profess to encourage among yourselvesthen you will get a different conception of the social science to which you are devoted. What I am saying is that this assembly here tonight is a kind of lie. It is not a coming-together of those who study and know, or promote study and knowledge of, social reality. It is a conclave of high and low priests, scribes, intellectual valets, and their innocent victims, engaged in the mutual affirmation of a falsehood, in common consecration of a myth.
Blindness
to
reality
Sociology is not now and never has been any kind of objective seeking out of&social truth or reality. Historically, the profession is an outgrowth of 19th century European traditionalism and convervatism, wedded to 20th century American corporation liberalism. The eyes of sociologists, with
few but honorable (or: honorable but few) exceptions, have been turned downwards; their palms upwards. Eyes down, to study the activities of the lower classes, of the subject fiopulation-the activities which created problems for the smooth exercise of governmental hegemony. Since the class of rulers in this society identifies itself as the society itself the problems of the ruling class are defined as social problems. The profession has moved beyond the tearjerking stage today. ‘Social problems’ is no longer the preferred term, but the underlying perspective is the same. The things that are sociologically “interesting” are the things that are interesting to those who stand at the top of the mountain and feel the tremors of an earthquake. Sociologists stand guard in the garrison and report to its masters on the movements of the occupied populace. The more adventurous sociologists don the disguise of the people and go out to mix with the peasants in the “field,” returning with books and articles that break the protective secrecy in which a subjugated population wraps itself, and make it more accessible to man-, ipulation and control.
Sckiologist The sociologist the employ of his cisely a kind of exercise of the
individual researcher sells his brain for a bribe-although many of us know of research projects where that has happened, literally-but ‘merely that the dominant structure of the profession, in which all of its members are to some extent socialized, is a structure in which service to the ruling class of this society is the highest form of honor and achievement (the speaker’s table today is an illustration).
“In such circumstances, the opportunities are great for the abuse of knowledge and technique. “Taking note of these dangers, one reads with concern the claims of some social scientists that their discipline is essential for the training of those to whom they refer as “the mandarins of the future.” The article presented here, by American sociologist Martin Nicolaus, was delivered to the last convention of the American Sociological Association and makes a challenge similar to that of Chomskymainly that social scientists are corrupting their profession by statistically manipulating masses to assist upper classesby whom they are paid-in their pursuit of power. These remarks are especially significant in light of the up-coming “Critique of Social Science” to be presented by the Radical Student Movement later this month.

too often different from the proper exercise of espionage only in the greater electronic relatively sophistication of the latter’s techniques. Is it an accident that industrial sociology-to name only a few examples here-arose in a context of rising ‘labor troubles,’ that political sociology grew when. elections became less predictable, or that the sociology of race relations is now flourishing? As sociologists you owe your jobs to the union organizers who got beat up, to the voters who got <fed up, to the black people who got shot up. Sociology has risen to its present prosperity and eminence on the blood and bones of the poor and oppressed ; it owes its prestige in this society to its putative ability to give information and advice to the ruling class of this society about ways and means of keeping the people down. The professional eyes of the sociologist are on the down people, and the professional palm of the sociologist is stretched toward the up people. It is no secret and no original discovery to take public note of the fact that the major and dominant sectors of sociology today are sold, computer, codes and questionaires, to the people who have enough money to afford this ornament, and who see a useful purpose being served by keeping hundreds of intelligent men and women off the streets, occupied in the pursuit of harmless trivia. I am not asserting that every friday,
contented
The honored sociologist, the big-status sociologist, the fatcontract sociologist, the jet-set sociologist, the book-a-year sociologist, the sociologist who always wears the livery, the suit and tie, of his masters-this is the type of sociologist who sets the tone and the ethic of the profession, and it is this type of sociologist who is nothing more nor less than a house-servant in the corporate establishment, a white intellectual Uncle Tom not only for this government and ruling class but for any government and ruling class, which explains to my mind why Soviet sociologists and American sociologists are finding after so many years of isolation that, after all, they have something in common.
Felonies youth
against
To raise, educate and train generation after generation of this country’s brightest minds in a socalled educational system; to let them survive in a sociological ethic of servility; to socialize them into this sociocracy, is a criminal undertaking-one of the many felonies against youth cornmitted by those who set themselves up in a ‘loco parentis situation that is usually far more oppressive. than any real parental relation. The crime which graduate schools perpetrate against the minds and morals of young people is all the more inexcusable because of the enormous liberating potential of knowledge about social life.

worked to make the power structure relatively more powerful and knowledgeable, and thereby to make the subject population relatively more impotent and ignorant. In the late summer of 1968, while the Democratic party was convening amidst barbed wire and armored cars, the sociological profession ought to have been considering itself especially graced and blessed that its own deliberations could still be carried on with a police-to-participant ratio smaller than one-to-one. This may be because the people of the USA do not know how much their current troubles stem-to borrow Lord Keynes’ phrasefrom the almost forgotten scribblings of an obscure professor, of sociology. Or it may be that sociology is still so crude that it rep-4 resents no clear and present danger. In 1969 it is late, very late-too late-to say once again what Robert S. Lynd and C. Wright Mills and hundreds of others have long said; that the profession must reform itself . In view of the forces and the money that stand behind sociology intellectual as an exercise in servility, it is unrealistic to expect the body of the profession to make an about-face. If and when the barbed wire goes up around the ASA convention in a future year, most of its members will still not know why.
*from previous page and stones, knowledge about people directly affects what we are, what we do, what we may hope for. The corporate rulers of this society would not be spending as much money as they do for knowledge, if knowledge did not confer power. So f.ar, sociologists have been schlepping this knowledge that confers power along a one-way chain, taking knowledge from the people, giving knowledge to the rulers. What if that machinery were reversed? What if the habits, problems, secrets and unconscious motivations of the wealthy and powerful were daily scrutinized by a thousand systematic researchers, were hourly pried-into, analysed and crossreferenced, tabulated and published in a hundred inexpensive masscirculation journals and written so that even the fifteen-year old high school drop out could understand it and predict the actions of his landlord, manipulate and control him? Would the war in Vietnam have been possible if the structure, function and motion of the U.S. imperial establishment had been a matter of detailed public knowledge ten years ago? Sociology has worked to create and increase the inequitous distribution of knowledge; it has

Whether you’re weak or strong, straight or crooked, satisfied with life or looking for something different, there always comesthat moment of challenge when you realize that you must decide the direction of your life. Jesus claimed to be the way, the truth, the life. Most students, however, are about fed up with ‘gentle Jesus, meek and mild”, and consequently disregard his life as their challenge. But what was he really like? He was fit. Fitter than you or me. He was neither a hermit nor a food faddist, but he lived a life of hard discipline and toughness which gave him a healthy mind and body. He needed no Vic Tanny’s to develop the best in him. Have you ever thought how many miles he walked in his journeys up and down the country, in heat and dust, on rough, unmade roads? Or how many hours of patient standing he spent in talk, argument and healing? It. wasn’t just a matter of straight-forward physical effort either, because, hated as he was by the national leaders and the key men of his religion, he was hunted from pillar to post, in constant danger of his life. And all the time he was wearing himself out with caring for the helpless, the hopeless, and the down-and-outs. So much so that at times he and his friends had no time to snatch even a hasty meal.

The crowds milling round him in the hot eastern sun, the constant pouring out of power and strength into the sick, the dying and the dead, was an exhausting business. If he went indoors they packed the rooms to suffocation and filled the doors and windows. Some listened with excitement, some with rage, feeling ran high and the stale air became thick with heat and emotion. Yet he never gave in. Dog-weary he might be, but he was never too tired to talk to them, he never refusedlto help. He never said, “Come and see me on Thursday, I’m full up to then.” He went steadily on, meeting their needs and answering their calls, and snatching every opportunity to preach the Good News. At night, when the crowds went home to sleep the sleep of exhaustion, he often climbed the nearest hill and spent the night in prayer. \

This is no ordinary review. This not a put-down on Candy. Candy is a put-down on this review. In fact Candy satirizes everything vulnerable, and that doesn’t leave much. Contemporary satire normally attacks traditional faiths, like religion, politics, the economic systern, or romantic love. Candy is contemporary satire. Occasionally, some adventurous artist dares, to poke holes in all the cool, beautiful alternatives, like poetry, psychology, and mysticism. With the shedding of both tradition and coolness, Candy would be left with her naked sex and perhaps a little human compassion. But Candy’s producer was bold; he dared to strip away her sex! He dared to strip away her compassion! Alas, all the poor world has left is a little bit of ceremony. The movie begins, as it ends, with a celebration of nothing in is

particular. In the first scene, it’s on a cosmological scale, with a whirling galaxy celebrating its own beauty or being or whatever, simply by being beautiful. In the final scene. the scale is sociological. All the characters of the film are gathered together in little groups in a green field. The sun is shining; the wind is blowing; the clothes are bright, and the whole scene exudes happiness benea th blazing banners. Candy, our guide for the celebration, sublimates herself in it, and provides the brightest beauty of all. Between the celebrations, Candy conducts her voyage of discovery. She starts out wide-eyed innocent with a lot of beauty and compassion, and along the way falls victim to all sorts who tell her there’s something more. For those who aren’t very perceptive, the popular satire is somewhat overplayed. A fanatic Brigadier-General flies about over the States run-
ning -his platoon of paratroopers, like any good machine operator. A pair of cops enter battle with the cry, “Get ready to break some heads! ” A stock professor, father, and cocktail party are included for depth. A rarely approached theme is the satire on the compassionless repair shops we substitute for hospitals. ,4 few remarks about the inferiority of Mexicans complete the rounds of the more- usual sore spots of society. Candy eliminates alternative delusions when it satirizes campus poets, a ,filmmaker obsessed with triteness, and Indian holy men. They’re all reduced to embodiments of male sex drive, and then sex becomes a farce. Contrary to popular beliefs, Candy is not. a movie designed primarily for sex kicks. Candy is a beautiful movie. It reveals imaginative production. skilful direction, and adequate acting.

Che Guevara, international revolutionary hero, is portrayed in the play by Mario Fratti of New York. Che’s last four months are depicted in the Bolivian jungle. The conflict between Bolivian communist officials the conflict between the Bolivian government and the conflict within Che himself make this an excellent play. A man with ideals fighting against the world. Fratti doesn’t idolize Che. He portrays a true picture of Che with his faults presented in the same light as his good points. This play is done by the Toronto Workshop Productions. This fully professional group has had gigs at Expo, Stratford, and various theatres in Toronto. They have been on a month and a half stint with this particular play. This group of experienced actors are probably the best to play the arts theater in sometime, Cedric Smith, from Waterloo, is in the title role. He has been around the scene; folk singer in Vietnam, poet and actor. His portrayal,of Che was given rave reviews. Yes comrades! imagine a rave review for this play from old stone face Wathan in that radical rag the star of Toronto. George Lescombe, an experienced director puts it out on stage with experimental stage settings, rock & roll backing and excellent movements by actors. This play should turn out to be an entertaining evening for radicals and theater lovers alike. Come and see what Che is really like. No, he is not dead he will be hiding in the arts theater February 16.

Well, friends and neighbors, its that time of year again, when there ain’t much to do on the farm, and you can sleep in till nigh on six o’clock, when you just want to have some fun before the long summer comes, then mosey on over to Marlene’s and Paul’s cause something big’s brewing up there. If you think you’re plum tuckered out from Groundhog week just wait till you see the doo over there. Way last march sometime, Jackie Ricketts and that Strothard boy picked up one of the campo (lat.) most fatal tasks. FASS. Well don’t fret now, gracious, they got a few hundred people helping them, but I’ll bet a jug they don’t seem to be helping at all. Think of all those oodles of flesh pouring over Earl’s stage. Mrs. Mabley was saying the other day that they got singing and story telling and laughing and joking and piano playing and
music and fooling around. Oh I get so tired and my roomatizz starts to itch when I think about it. I think the 1512 people who’ve seen the show so far should just hush up about it sowz we can all see for ourselves. FASS telling is like tatteltaleing before your little brother’s birthday. Its a sin worse than death. Rev. Brown won’t even tell and he’s got the inside on FASS telling. Next week I’ll tell it all. Wait! I heard the other day that Heth Kelly found a new corn relish. recipe, but she says she isn’t gonna tell anyone why it tastes so good till someone else gives her a cure for her dandruff. Her herb remedies never were no good at healin what ails a body. And little missy Morris over the other side of the crick got all high felutin’ and real finnicky on the telephone the other night. She said it was too late and all good people should be in bed and hung up real quick. That girl needs a friday,
.
good whippin’ till she learn some decent manners. Or maybe if one of her sisters could talk some sense into her. “Doctor, doctor I still can’t see.” “April fool”. Mrs. D. just called me up and said that when I go to FASS to watch that you-know-who, cause she’s after a husband again. This time she’s out to wreck a marriage. Boy I’d like to be there when she sinks her hooks into Ken. I guess ever since Joanz beat her out, she’s been driftin’ about looking for a man. Its really a shame, she’s such a cheerful girl too, always smiling, always happy, always wearing some stupid stunned look on her face. Poor Bubs. Maybe Tommy can save her from that mathive hunk of a star. Well dear readers, thats all for this week.

CRUTCHFIELD, sttrcient

Snn
TWENTY-NINE! Francisco
State
Cilllge and a member of the Black Students Union. On November 13. in the second week of a black-led student strike. Crutchfield and other BSU members emerged from the hutoffice in which they had just held a press confer: ence; they were surprised by the sight of a dozen policemen, members of .<an Francisco’s muchcriticized Tactical Squad. moving in formation along the narrow walkway between the BSU hut and the student commons. .+I few of the several hundred white students gathered nearby for lunch shouted taunts at the cops. but most were more puzzled than anything else. since nothing had happened in that part of campus to warrant police pres’ence. Suddenly. for no apparent reason.’ the cops broke formation, raised their clubs and started after the 500 black students. Two of them jammed Crutchfield against the wall of the hut. One hit him in the midsection: then. when he doubled over, he was clubbed to the ground with repeated blows. One of the cops jammed his knee into Crutchfield’s back while the other continued to club him. When they got up. he couldn’t. and so was dragged off. to be charged with assaulting a police officer. San Francisco State College was embroiled in what was already the longest and one of the most successful student strikes since the 1930’s-and blacks led it. Supported by whites and other minority students. the blacks are determined to define for themselves the nature of their college education. They want to learn skills which they can bring back to the ghettos of the Fillmore and Hunter’s Point. Put simply, the blacks want State to serve the people of their neighborhoods-not the corporations that con troJ those communities. * * * THERE
ARE
EIGHTEEN
STATE
COLLEGES
in California. serving a total of 215,000 students. They have no connection with the University of California and have their own governing body. a politically appointed Board of Trustees. The important difference between the state colleges and the university. however. has nothing to do with administration. The important difference is that if your family makes $10.000 a year or more. you’re much more likely to go to the nearest State.” if you go anywhere at all. The state colleges used to be “normal schools” -teacher training- irrstitutions. When a liberal legislature decided to try to make a four-year education available to those who didn’t have the money to travel to and attend the university. the system was expanded. and the colleges undertook to train middle-level professionals and businessmen as well as teachers. The majority of the faculty at State is still young by academic standards-in their forties-educated for the most part at good schools under the G.I. Bill. Many have turned down more lucrative and prestigious posts at larger schools: most of them are interested in teaching. A younger group is. made up of recent graduates. some still polishing Photos above left and right: Students rally on campus just after police had used mace.

off their doctorates, who are themselves. in many cases. veterans of one or another campus struggle. - The younger group is particularly close to the students. because twenty-five years is the median age of the student body. Manv of the undergraduates have tried college once. dropped out and returned. Of the seven students arrested on November 13. four are twenty-five or older: the arrested faculty member is twenty-eight. Finally, State has always had a student body that does not at all resemble that of a major university. State’s students show up with a lot of savvy. although their intelligence is not ref!ected either in high school grades or college entrance tests. They are a more heterogenous lot than the kids who kept their noses to the grindstone and got into the university -more ’ acquainted with urban poverty, less indoctrinated by midd#e- class ethics.
This means. for one thing, that the university gets the sons and daughters of the black bourgeoisie. acclimatized to white education and rhetoric: State gets the brothers off the block-and they are a little tougher for academic liberals to deal with. For a long time. though. it seemed that former State President John Summerskill might be able to pull it off. ’ * * * At the same time that State’s black enrollment was shrinking from 10 to 4 percent. the nation’s black ghettos were exploding. Harlem. Watts and’ even San Francisco’s own Hunter’s Point produced ample evidence to belie the liberal myth of slow but steady Negro progress.” While conservatives called for more riot training for National Guardsmen. liberals turned to a time-tested panacea: education. To help with this attempted pacification of the restless natives. Chancellor Glenn Dumke reached ail the way back to Cornell and tapped John Summerskill for the presidency of San Francisco State. ..I sort of academic Pierre Trudeau. he was the answer to every prayer of the concerned liberal faculty. and some of them came close to dancing on the commons lawn. Summerskill had studied the Free Speech Move‘merit at Berkeley, and he knew that one of the more exciting ideas that had> come out of it was. the Free University: unstructured, student-run, dealing with what students wanted to know and unconcerned with what the society wanted them to learn.
When a group of San Francisco State students read Paul Goodman’s Communitas (which describes a potential “free university” in which students simply come up with some space. hire a professor and hold a class) and then invited Goodman to put his words into action, San Francisco State’s Experimental College was born. Summerskill backed the Experimental College enthusiastically. and helped it to grow while he sponsored other programs, putting the college ‘administration behind community tutorial programs and other advanced innovations-including a campus underground newspaper to go along with the “official” Daily Gater. The natty president also fought for “special admissions”-the waiving of normal academic requirements for at least a selected number of black and other minority students. _-_ The partly accredited Experimental College, whose courses range from radical: critiques Of American sociology and a history of the labor
movement to psychedelic art and “encounter groups,” has since come under radical criticism. The college, some students argue, isolates potential radicals from the rest of the campus while they spend their time in “touchie-feelie” courses like Increased Personal-Sensitivity. But if the Experimental College and some of the other innovative features of State sometimes disturb radicals, they drive trustees up the walls. Max Rafferty (an ex-officio trustee) describes State as “an aviary for odd birds,” and most of the wealthy and conservative businessmen on the Board of Trustees quite agree. Basically. they conceive of a state college education as four more years of -high school. You keep going in order to learn a profession or, perhaps, to get a liberal arts education so you * can be some professional’s wife. They really don’t understand, of course, that a student might want to. jump off the corporate conveyor belt instead of being trained to repair it when it breaks down. If the trustees aren’t s ympathetic to fhe white students it is not surprising that they are totally isolated, by politics and temperamen t, from the problems of’ minority students. *** SUPER-LIBERAL SUMMERSKfLL, not quite realizing the contradictions he was creating, spoke for recruiting young. black and brown students, regardless of admission standards. He never succeeded in reversing the downward trend in the percentage of blacks on campus, but he did succeed in finding at least some blacks who might not have gotten to college otherwise. Among them was a serious, slightly square, straight-A student named George Murray. There had been, before Summerskill. a campus organization called the Negro Students Association. In the same year that Summerskill came to State. the NSA became the Black Students Union, dedicated to uniting black students around political questions. The BSU quickly became a model for other black college groups around the country. organizing a tutorial system for ghetto high schools and grade schools and initiating a course in black nationalism in the Experimental College. Gradually, courses in “black studies” grew in

he’s playing the title role in “Rhinoceros,” yielded to the idea of creating a Black Studies Department and to the appointment of black sociologist, Nathan Hare, as its head. He supplied, however, neither funds nor faculty, on the ground that the current budget didn’t provide for them. He claims he went to the Board of Trustees to seek their approval for the creation of the department and for a BA in Black Studies, to become effective when the depart.ment could start operating in the fall of 1969. But Smith’s liberal concessions and promises were not enough. The BSU not only wanted the right to hire and fire its own staff and set up its own courses, but a guarantee that the trustees wouldn’t have anything to say about either prerogative. They also demanded, in conjunction with the TWLF, the admission of any black or Third World student who wanted to come, regardless of qualifications. (California’s junior colleges admit all comers, so the demand isn’t as impossible to meet as one might suspect. ) In the meantime, George Murray had been going through some changes. Now an English instructor as well as a student, Murray held a third position: Mirrkter Of Education of the Bfack Panthers Party. Gradually convinced of the inherent racism of the college adminis’trative structure, Murray had joined- the Pabbers and in the summer of 1968 had gone $0 Cuba. Even if he had never opened his mouth, he would sooner or later have been a target for the administiation and the trustees. But open his mouth he did. *** BSU HELD A ‘RALLY at which Murray announced a strike, scheduled for November 6. Having read the newspapers, watched television, and listened to San Francisco’s shmtfrom-the-lip mayor, everyone .in the city is convinced that Murray urged black and,brown students to bring guns to canipus on November 6th for the strike. ~ Actually, he said no such thing. What he did say was that it would be a good idea for black and brown students generally to carry guns for selfdefense against racist administrators. At any rate, on the afternoon of October 31, Dunke issued a direct order to Smith to suspend Murray. And though h\e stalled for a day, the president objeyed. Smith and the liberal faculty were quickly united on one issue: firing a member of the faculty is a clear violation of due process. Qn the first day of the Strike-Wednesday, November 6-the black administrators walked out. The BSU and the TWLF had passed the word to white radicals: don’t stage a mass confrontation with the police. The black and Third World students had decided that mass confrontation was the wrong game; coming from a world where the hostile cop is a fact of life and confrontation a good way to get killed, they see nothing romantic about throwing a rock from the back of a crowd and yelling “oink.” There are other ways. While white students were holding a rally and marching to the Administration Building, the BSU and TWLF divided into groups of ten or fewer and went from classroom to classroom, stopping ON OCTOBER
28, THE
wherever a class was in session to interrupt proceedings and explain the strike and the reasons for it. On the whole, the tone was reasonable. Reporters, of course, stressed the disruptive effect, and for the first time the word “violence” came heavily into play. The total extent of the violence involved the tossing of a typewriter through a window and the setting of two small fires, but television watchers and newspaper readers must have been convinced that the roving “educational teams” were all carrying axes, submachine guns and flame throwers. “Roving bands of militants” were too Fuch for the administration. At 1:30 p.m., Smith called in the cops. The Tat Squad assembled and moved ground the campus, clearing buildings and teilillg everybody to go home. A crowd of whites followed them around for a while (singing “Old MacDonald” and stressing the oinks), but the blacks and browns were long gone. “It was a sickening sight ** a journalism heather said. “V’ve covered aN kinds of police actions, but .when you see the cops on your own campus, where you love to work and where you think you might spend the rest of your life, it just turns your stomach. ”
By Tuesday the 12th, the faculty was angry enough to approve a resolution calling for Dumke’s resignation. The Tat Squad was back on campus and getting rougher. A group of blacti students, walking through the psychology building and checking to see how many students were in class, was rushed by 35 Tat Squadders, hustled into AFROTC headquarters, photographed and released-except for two who were arrested. One Tat Squad member twisted the arm of a black woman and threatened to break it. . At 12:30 Wednesday the cops began to mass outside the psychology building. Despite newspaper reports of a “barrage” of missiles, there was actually nothing thrown at them but a few dirt clods; the reaction of the lunching students was at first not so much anger as shock when the police Tactical Squad attacked Nesbitt Crutchfield and then began to roam around campus threatening and frequently beating students who were slow at ‘ ‘moving on. ” At one point a cop drew hi8 gun. With his hand visibly shaking, he dared students to come closer. Fortunately, nothing startled him. After being effectively out-faced by the joint student-faculty maneuver described earlier, the cops left. When they were gone 600 faculty members met
in the main auditorium, and Smith went into conference with his deans and vice presidents. The faculty adopted a resolution calling for the suspension of classes “while thb faculty remains in continuous session.” Smith, late in the afternoon, announced that “we don’t believe we can get at the basic issues in ‘this ,context,” and that “we’ll keep classes closed until such time as we can reopen them on a more rational basis.” Then Ronald Reagan, Max Rafferty ahd the trustees flipped out. * * * THE
OUTRAGED
GOVERNOR
SAID
THAT
Smith’s closing of State was “an unpr’ecedented act of irresponsibility” and demanded that “the campus be reopened- to classes with dispatch.” Democrat Jesse Unruh, about to be ousted as assemb1.b speaker after a Republican legislative victory, got into the act by calling i’t “a triumph for anarchy.” Mayor Alioto, ready as usual with a statement, said he’d send in a key troubleshooter if somebody wanted one. Subjected to pressures from all sides, President Smith quickly cam& up with a ploy for easing school back into session. Students were asked to come td school on Monday, to go to their departments and meet with their professors, not for classes but for discussion of the problems facing the school. Obviously Smith hoped that the faculty could convince students to break the strike. His plan, however, backfired. ’ Campus radicals distributed themselves carefully throughout the departmenta/ meetings. They argued that the issues w;?nt deeper than due process and faculty autonomy and that the key questions of the strike were those of self-determination and racism. For that one day, the classes were fiberated-’ and the day ended with much wider support for the strike than had existed over the weekend.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, 43 membirs of the S.F. State faculty were getting something of an education on their own. The faculty had decided to send the entire Academic Senate to the trustees’ meeting (the Academic Senate is simply an elected “executive committee” of the faculty ). Smith told the tru’stees that the issues at San Francisco State weren’t simple. and Governor Reagan broke in to say that as far as he was concerned, the only issue was to get the campus opt‘n *continued frida y, february

“‘It was quite evident,” said one faculty member in what was almost a state of shock, “that they don’t give a damn about education. They could be running a factory. And they obviously hold all of us-the faculty, Dr. Smith, everybody-in complete con temp t. ”
The final shock, for at least some of the faculty, came when one trustee began to argue that maybe they should discuss the issues. The dissenter was Edward 0. Lee of Oakland, who is black and a Reagan appointee to the board. When Lee insisted that the trustees ought not to act until they had had a chance to hear more about the campus’ problems, Trustee Chairman Theodore Meriam leaned forward and looked over at him for a long moment, then grinned. “Down, Rover,” Meriam said. Predictably, the trustees voted to reopen the campus immediately. But it was easier said than done. After the previous Wednesday’s police brutality, the faculty had voted to “suspend the educational facilities of the college indefinitely while the faculty stays in session”-and the continuous faculty meeting had been only recessed, not adjourned, ever since. The increasingly feisty faculty , was about ready to raise the question of whether Smith could open the campus, cops or no cops, without a faculty. At a spe-cial meeting of all the faculty, Smith proposed to reopen the campus-using cops again if necessary. The faculty responded with a chorus of boos. In defiance of Smith and the trustees, the faculty voted to invite the president and the strike leaders to sit on the stage of the auditorium and discuss the issues, and to have the proceedings televised and piped to all possible points on the campus. The motion included the key provision that no classes would be taught. The next morning was incredible. In the auditorium sat an eager and excited faculty; in other halls and rooms all over the campus, students jammed past all fire-law limits, jostling for a view of the television sets or a place near the loudspeakers. On the stage: Nesbitt Crutchfield, Rostoe Blunt and Jack Alexis of BSU; Tony Miranda, Roger Alvarado, Mason Wong and Alfred Wong of TWLF; a psychology professor serving as moderator; and President Robert Smith and two deans. When one student said in solemn earnestness, “What we are trying to do is to say ‘Fuck you’ to the inherent racism of the system,” the smell of fresh air within the musty academic walls was impossible to miss. When Robert Smith said, “I am a social liberal and I don’t pretend to know how to operate in a situation of revolutionary confrontation,” he got sympathetic groans from many of the faculty-but by then they understood when a BSU . member leaned to his microphone and replied simply, “That isn’t our worry, is it? For
the
students,

meeting
and
the subse-

quent convocations were the most educationally rewarding experiences in a lifetime of schooling. For Smith, it was the beginning of the end.
A few days later he tendered his resignation to the trustees. They accepted and appointed in his stead S.I. Hayakawa, famed linguist, political rightwinger and outspoken critic of the strike. * * * WHETHER

staff,
State’s students have demonstrated that ‘inainstream ” students and well-intentioned faculty members can be reached, that an activist minority action can turn into a genuine movement, and that it’s even possible to bring the faculty squarely down on the side of the students. A nd they have shown, furthermore, that an urban institution which doesn’t meet the needs of the community cannot function for long in an urban setting.

“A course in the psychology of blacks or Chicanos or Chinese, ” the BSUls Jack Alexis said, “will advance the entire science of psychology, because it’s the other side of white psychology. It will help whites better understand themselves and make for a purer psychology. **
The most important factor for the students’ strategy was one that has rarely existed in previous “campus uprisings” : community supportin this case support from the black and brown communities. The BSU and TWLF students had been tutoring and counseling high school students in their respective ghettos-and they are themselves, of course, ghetto products in a way that black students at more prestigious institutions usually aren’t. Strong community support, whether implicit or explicit, made the administration think twice; they knew that if their cops came down too hard, they’d have more than a strike in the black ghettos of Hunter’s Point and the Fillmore. For the black and Third World students, the issue was clear from the beginning: the right of self-determination for themselves and their communities. In a way, they have demanded only that State continue its progressive tradition of community involvement-but that the racist pattern be broken so that the black community, too, is involved. There was no tendency (as in other “student power” fights) to withdraw into an ivory tower of scholasticism or to return to some Utopian vision of a college separate from society.

all the demands of the BSU and the TWLF is not the point. San Francisco State students in their long and already successful fight have developed a set of innovative tactics that will set trends for 1969, especially in urban colleges. The blacks led the strike from the beginning, and with the TWLF and the whites playing important supportive roles, it has become clear that the demands are nonnegotiable. Blacks and Third World students slowly educated a surprising number of whites to the idea that a Black Studies program benefits everybody.

After the contest had ended the Warrior head coach had plenty to smile about. His Waterloo charges walloped the McMaster Marlins by the tune of 9-5 and several rookies played key roles in the victory.
SELECTIONOF
l/2 PRICE Including:
Duke Hayes, the guiding pilot of the University of Waterloo hockey Warriors didn’t appear to be too happy before Friday evening’s game against the McMaster Marlins. The chief mentor of the Warriors had four good reasons, namely the absence of stalwarts Arlon Popkey, Rum Romashyna, Davey Rudge and Paul Rappolt.
PERENNIAL
The play of freshman forwards Dave Enouy, Hank Scott, Mike Clark and Roger Kropf was most impressive. Enouy, the speedy export from Kirkland Lake, playing in his first game of the season collected two assists and hustled throughout the match. The rookie leftwinger had been sidelined since early November with a broken knee cap. Hank Scott, the powerfully-built freshman from Seaforth, collected two points on one goal and one bassist. The rugged Warrior forward hammered several Marlins with solid body checks and never seemed to stop skating.
A crowd of 1200 saw Kenny Laidlaw and Rick Bacon score two goals each. Captain Ronnie Robinson, Roger Kropf, Neil Cotton, Bobby Reade and Hank Scott fired singles.
Mike Clark, a rookie speedster was outstanding. Although he. failed to pick up any points, he played an near-perfect game. Clark forechecked, backchecked and set up several fine plays with great expertise.
Tom Smallman with two goals, Don Locke, Don Fraser, and Gary Spear replied for McMaster.
Roger Kropf was another key rookie in the Warrior win. The elusive rightwinger collected three
points on one goal and two assists. Kropf patrolled his wing like a veteran and made many fine moves particularly when he deeked the Mat goalie right out of his jock in the second period. There is certainly no doubt in anyone’s mind -when one says the University of Waterloo certainly has an excellent hockey club. They have a great abundance of talent as was proven last Friday evening. Depth is the key to the success of a championship hockey team and the brains behind the Warriors, definitely have this essential requirement. The Warriors are definitely a contender for the Canadian championship and nobody will be a bit surprised when they win it in Edmonton. Tonight, the Warriors play their last home game of the season against the Guelph Gryphons at 8:30. Duke Haves and his Warriors step into th”is game with an 18-3-1 record on the line for exhibition and league contests.

A vote on dtess registered 391 votes for continuing present dress standards and 367 against. Student president Jim Wellwood said the dress standards are not ’ mandatory and the vote will not make them mandatory. The vote was part of a student council and administration campaign to encourage the shirt-and-tie image. Wel!wood said dress standards rub off on other ‘aspects of student life a’nd neater dress may be reflected in other attitudes and participation in college affairs.

Lecture by J. Barr, instructor, Students’ International Meditation Society. Transcendental Meditation is a simple technique which takes the attention naturally from the ordinary thinking level to the source of thought, the inner Being, the reservoir of energy and intelligence. This automatically results in the expansion of the conscious mind and full mental potential begins to be used in thought and action.

CENTRES
A realm is governed by ordinary. acts, A battle is governed by extraordinary acts; The world is governed by no acts at all. And how do I know? This is how I know. Act after act prohibits Everything but poverty, Weapon after weapon conquers Everything but chaos, Business after business provides A craze of waste, Law after law breeds A multitude of thieves. Therefore a sensible man says: If I keep from meddling with people, they take care of themselves, If I keep from commanding people they behave themselves, If I keep from preaching at people, they improve themselves, If I keep from imposing on people, they become themselves. (From The Way of Life according to Laotzu, An American by Witter Bynner, The John Day Co., N .Y., 1944, pp. 61-62 )
Version
Here is social critique and a model of leadership, from the pen of Laotzu, Chinese sage of 2,600 years ago. If you regard the Tao, his work, as but an early version of the social-economic-political philosophy of laissez-faire, I would not argue with you, merely shrug it off. For what I seek to do is to join to a previous social critique of the contemporary university models of leadership for the university. Laotzu is relevant for several reasons. He joins social critique to a model of leadership, which is what I too have sought to do. He seems to speak to conditions of our own time. And he says a great deal in a brief passage, which is a virtue in itself. There are many models of society, government, and leadership. They project ideal or utopian states and societies as did Plato in the Republic and Thomas More in Utopia, or they note the characteristics of effective leadership as Machiavelli did in The Prince. All these models are overtly didactic, trying to teach us what is needed and how to achieve it. There are some models that approach the task of identifying what is needed differently. These models are of the order of parables, of puzzles, and they are often whimsical.’ One such model is to’be found in a story told by Martin Buber, from the world of the Hasidim a Jewish mystical sect. I am retelling it here. An agitated group of men came to see the rabbi about a handful of others who are gambling in the house of prayer. The rabbi inquires: how long have they been there and is told: four days and nights. The rabbi ponders that reply. Finally he says gravely: These men have been at gambling for days and nights without interruption. How long have you and I persisted at one thing that long? And\,what does it take but holiness and persistence to be saintly? All those men need now is to turn from gambling to spiritual doings and they will have a better chance than you and I to become saintsHere is a whimsical model of the saintly man.
When I came to the University of Waterloo in 1964 I was asked whether I would be interested in the chairmanship of the Department of Sociology. I declined the honour but noted that I wished to be involved in the hiring of faculty, seeing that I had over some years developed a model of the proper sociologist. Someone wanted to know what that model was. I revealed it, but the answer was unfortunately not understood. (This suggests that for some publics the modelling can’t be cast in the form of whimsy if it is to be grasped). Here is my model of the proper sociologist: An eighty year old Zulu woman without degrees who is conversant with the central issues of social organization and interaction, and who can say clearly what she thinks. After some further experience in the academy I would enlarge this model to include a reasonably friendly and cooperative personality, and, perhaps most important, a realistic view of the limits of her own knowledge and the state of sociology as a discipline. Once again we have yet to turn to the task of modelling university leadership. It is a difficult task; indeed it is a formidable one because we have not yet asked ourselves what kind of a university we want for which we seek this leadership. I suspect that only when we have done the modelling of university structures and processes can we intelligently speak about leadership. Perhaps we can preview at least our feelings concerning the university and its leadership. We want to be real participants in it and enjoy a leader who is primus inter pares, who is but first among equals. Here too Latzu has something timely to say: A leader is best When people barely know that he exists, Not so good when people obey and acclaim him, Worst when they despise him. ‘Fail to honor people, They fail to honor you; ’ But of a good leader, who talks little, When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, They will all say, ‘We did this ourselves.’ (Bynner; op. cit. pp. 34-5)

They will only take four tricks if the spades are divided 4-4, but if the spades split 5-3 or 6-2 and the defender with the spades gets the lead, the declarer will not make his contract. West must get the lead

if he has the ace of diamonds and the contract will not make. But if East has the ace and no way to get West in, then the contract must make. If the opening lead is won with the ace of spades and a diamond is played, East wins and puts West in with a spade and the contract goes down. The declarer should therefore, hold up on the ace of spades and not
take it until the third trick. East is in with the ace of diamonds, and cannot get West on lead and the contract must make. Therefore in no-trumps with only one stopper (i.e. ace) it is usually best to hold up with this card as long as possible. All bridge players are invited to play duplicate bridge in the SS lounge every Tuesday night at 7pm sharp for only 75 cents.

should we reject any university administration reforms just because they happen to be expedient for their instigators; nor need we portray our various levels df government as grdups of scheming ogres. The extension to the high school year undoubtedly came about because Mr. Davis realized, that good use could be made of our expensive school facilities for an extra two weeks (or less) in June. Who knows, he may be planning to give the time over to free school experiments. PETE HUCK civil 3a
The article in the January 24th Chevron, entitled “Capitalism Up Against A Wall”, contains a number of fantasies. The extension of the academic year for high school students will not always be a full two weeks-it may be less, depending on the particular year. The authors calclAlate that the extension reduces the province’s unemployment by ten per cent. Such an effect requires that each’ of the students previously was able to work during the two weeks or less in June that have now been added to the school year. Couldn’t find any better, A large number of students Chevron a damn good job with summer jobs have not started work until the end of June I don’t agree with many of the anyway, because many jobs comarticles you have seen fit to print mence at the beginning of July, this year and in that I am probaor when regular staff go on holibly in the majority.

A professor measuring up to these exacting standards must feel sufficiently relieved not to question the standards by which he has been judged successful. But are these reasonable standards? What of the professor who sometimes refuses to explain a difficult point to everyone’s satisfaction to get his students to find out for themselves? What is the meaning of “covering” a course when in many cases the professor is himself responsible for the selection of topics studied? What of the lecturer who deliberately frustrates his students in an effort to achieve his goals? Should the lecture system even be used in a particular course? There can be no doubt that criticism of professors by students is not out of place in the university. There is, however, the danger that if much attention is paid to the results of student questionnaires which are themselves based on questionable assumptions, very little academic freedom will remain in the university.

but only a few wiI/ work Once again another weekend has passed into hallowed memory. Groundhog was a lot of fun, especially for all of those people who sat on their fat asses when the work was being done. As usual there were the solemn voices in the background proclaiming mismanagement. You know, the ones who always say, “Well if I were running it things like this wouldn’t happen.” There is an old saying, that an empty can makes more noise. This was certainly true last weekend. Take for instance the situation, on monday. Everyone bitched about the poor blackout facilities for the free movies. Yet when the organizers asked for furniture to be moved so they could remedy the problem everyone had something else to do. The same thing happened with respect to the formals. A lot of fuss was raised about there being none but when people were needed to run them none 01 the people who pushed for the return of formals came forward. These are just two examples of the apathy exhibit,ed by the majority of students of this great(? ) campus. It never fails that 50 students do all the work for the campus. That’s not a bad ratio, 50 out of 8500. It’s about time people faced facts. In the next two years most of the people presently involved with the board of student activities will be gone. When they go there will be no one to replace ,them. Then everyone will really have something to bitch about. 0f course there’s an obvious solution. All the people on campus right now can get invoived. Naturally this means work on some people’s part but let’s face it. people are doing that now Let’s see if you can. JIM DLiNLOE) encC’lb february

Not by much, mind you. A mere 17 votes separated the yeas #andnays of the quarter of the campus who voted. But that is enough to make’ the result binding on the federation, since the’ referendum was called by a president, There are indications that a petition may be circulated requesting the question be put to the voters again, this time on the council. election ballots, so that a more de’ finitive result can be obtained. Unless the present student council or its president John Bergsma requests this, the new referendum would not, under the federation bylaws, be binding unless council accepted the results in a resolution. But perhaps all that is irrelevant to the situation CUS finds itself in now. It has lost Waterloo, one of its strongest supporters in the past and the campus which its current Peter Warrian, calls president, home. But more than the loss of this campus, it has suffered rejection on campuses across Canada during the past five months. CUS is dead. Its 23 membercampuses can no longer pretend to form a “national” union. It can no longer afford to keep a group of six to ten of the most intelligent and articulate student leaders in English-speaking Canada in its secretariat to assist membercampuses-their student councils and their students in general-in fighting for more humane universities and a more humane society.
It can no longer purport to represent English-speaking students to the federal government. Contributions of the past and of today in the areas of student aid and government-university relations, to name two of the most impcrtant, will no longer be felt. What is likely to happen in the future is difficult to guess.,Likely student governments with some interest in university reform will try to channel more efforts into provincial unions. Provincial unions are undoubtedly considering fee hikes, now that councils will have that $1 a head they used to pay to CUS. As well it is likely that the number and strength of voluntary radical unions will greatly increase. Waterloo’s radical student movement and similar groups at other
campuses may attempt
It’s all downhill
some
link-ups of a more permanent nature than the present ad-hoc arrangements. But eventually student governments are going to realize that a national union is a necessity for achieving their goals, however small may be the reforms they propose or however conservative may be the programs they attempt to run. And given the state of our universities and our “just society”, it is quite likely that within a few years of its conception the new union would have the same sort of radical leadership it has now. Hopefully the students across Canada and the students who are then at Uniwat will realize the necessity for a radical union and will give it the support it will need.

from here, gang!
Foresight gone blind In order to decide whether someiing is right or wrong, good or bad, one must have a moral philosophy to which to refer the question. All of us have such a philosophy and the reference process for most questions is usually automatic. Similarly in order to decide whether a proposed reform in the university is good or bad, one must have a philosophy of education. And, since education is the process whereby we are introduced to and prepared for our society, one must have an analysis of society. Such a philosophy and analysis is, however, by no means an automatic thing to have. In fact most people, taken up with other concerns, rarely even think about these problems, accepting by default the status quo. Since all actions and all people serve their society, such unthinking acceptance can be bad. If, however, people who purport to be leaders within the educational communities lack such concepts, the results can be disastrous. Such is the problem the leadership and representatives of our student community now face.

The review of the student affairs function on campus provides a good illustration. The federation is represented on the committee by three interested and otherwise able students. But unfortunately none of them have more than the most sketchy philosophy or analysis. Hence it will be impossible for them to approach this important review in any but the most shortsighted fashion. Long-range viewing requires a working knowledge of the whole picture. If John Bergsma is ever to find a way of implementing the radicals’ ends using different means, he must find people who really understand those ends to work with him. Even he would be hard-put right now to explain why he thinks something like single-tier government is a good thing, except that the radicals were saying that it was. Without people who have such an overview and total approach, the federation will wander aimlessly in a labyrinth designed * by the administration.
