negotiations with representatives of the occupation forces, came 24 hours after the student body backed the- occupation demands by referendum. Students voted to endorse the demands 1,333-1,055 but rejected a student strike should negotiations break down by a count of 1,579-847. The student demands included: full parity on all university committees, an offer of reinstatement to Kelly, open meetings- of all university committees, and amnesty for the occupiers. Kelly, who joined the university’s theology department last fall only to find out in january that he would not be rehired, said he hoped a committee could be established to investigate his dismissal.
OF WATERLOO,
Waterloo,
Cound /ends $70,000 At its inaugural meeting monday night, the newly-elected student council voted to provide up to $10 thousand bail for the students arrested at Sir George Williams University in Montreal. The motion followed a report by Jim Wark, a student at Rochdale College who had joined the occupation and was arrested. Wa,rk, who said his purpose in coming had not been to raise funds but to clear up misunderstandings about the incident was as surprised as he was grateful. “I hadn’t expected this,” he told council. “I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart.” The motion initially introduced by co-op math rep Glenn Berry called for the posting of up to $2000 bail. During the lengthy discussion which followed the amount was raised to $10 thousand. When Wark had left Montreal, twenty of those whose bail had been set remained in jail for lack of funds. He estimated that between 50 and 75 thousand dollars were still required. The lowest bail set was $1000. The degree to which council members were willing to condemn or support the actions of the Sir George students varied widely. The vast majority agreed, howe-

ver, that the excessive amounts of the bail were a de-facto infringement of the right be free until proven guilty. “The issue in question is not whether the demonstrators were right or wrong. It’s our duty as students to get those kids out of jail,” said Caesar. To a question about the possibility of people skipping bail Wark pointed out that those who were arrested were fully aware of the possible legal repercussions of their actions and were free to leave the occupied building at any time almost to the end, yet were committed enough to stay. “They are not likely to skip out now,” he said. Board of publications chairman Gerry Wooton pointed out the previous council had decided to provide bail to any federation member charged with any offence. “Now we should extend our help to students everywhere when we can afford to,” he said. After an amendment to allocate bail beginning with the lowest

Theology chairman Rev. Eugene Malley accused Kelly, a Roman Catholic laymen, of “causing tension in the department” because he didn’t understand its ideals-apparently a dispute over doctrine. Kelly has been a called an ultra-liberal theologian, Malley a conservative. In the ensuing dispute and occupation, other membersof the theology department argued the decision openly-some joined-the occupation. Rev. Vernon McEacgern. United Church chaplain and a part-time lecturer, charged several days ago that the decision to drop Kelly came from Malley alone, not the department. But the theology department issued a statement supporting Malley by an 8 to 2 margin.

signed others along the same lines. According to federation bylaw No. 6, a referendum may be held in the case of two-thirds vote of student council, a five percent petition of the members of the federation, or a call of the president of the federation. Referendums are binding on council except when called by petition. Mike Robinson, chief justice, said Wednesday night the petition really doesn’t mean anything. He went on to explain the referendum, if held, will not be binding without the two-thirds concurrence of council and on top of this, the petition in its present wording will do nothing.
If the referendum is held. passed, and given council’s sanction. it will only mean the students disagree with council’s decisionit doesn’t tell council to withdraw their decision or to stop the $10.000 bail payment. A relevant petition would have to state some viable alternative to council’s idea-ie, we\disapprove and want you to retract your decision. Yesterday afternoon the organizers of the petition met with Robinson to discuss going ahead with the referendum. The action will take at least a week to organize plus another week before results are available due to outterm ballots.
system
how it works Setting bail means deciding upon what terms and conditions a person will be released from custoday while awaiting trial. The amount and type of bail is determined by a judicial officera justice of the peace, magistrate or j.udge. who considers the seriousness of the charge, whether the accused is a permanent resident of the locality. if he has a previous record, all to find the answer to the question, “What are the chances, if I let this person out. of his running off and not showing up for his trial?” Generally speaking. the greater such chances. the higher the bail and the stiffer the conditions. Bail can take any one of three forms: cash bail, recognizance without sureties. recognizance with sureties. The bail is then posted by the accused or by someone on his behalf. The accused signs a document wherein he agrees that if he does not show up for his trial he will forfeit the amount of the bail to the Crown. If he shows, the money is returned.

The staff of the Chevron selected Bob Verdun as their editor for 1969-70 at a staff meeting Sunday. Monday night thev retiring council ratified the decision in accordance with the federation’s bylaws. While Verdun does not take over until may 1, the staff was generally pleased that present editor Stewart Saxe would be moving on to the presidency of Canadian University Press. “We are generally pleased that Saxe is moving on.” said a staff member. The staff questioned the applicants for two hours sunday evening before voting, and in the final _tally agreed Verdun was the least unacceptable of those available.

of Verdun’s application to the staff by speaker Sandy MacGregor. There was some discussion, ineluding a question by retiring vicepresident Dieter Haag whether Verdun would have the time to do ’ the job properly. Pastpresident Brian Iler hooted, “At least he won’t be a full time student.” Verdun’s qualifications include : former member of the campus Liberal club, former Engineering Society secretary under Bergsma. sometime Ghevron columnist, president of the Aryan Affairs Commission and secretary of the campus center board. In addition, he has been a regular contributor of sorts to the Chevron since may ‘67. Verdun will also fill the ceremonial position of president of the Ontario region of Canadian University Press during 69-70.
executive
Federation president John Bergsma met some stiff opposition when he presented his executive board nominees to student council Monday night. Controversy arose over the nominations of Ron Golemba to the chairmanship of the external relations board, Chuck Minken to the education board and former vicepresident Dieter Haag to the executive member at large post. Council approved with little discussion the appointments of Dave Greenberg as vicepresident, Bob Kilimnik, as treasurer, Gerry Wootten as publications chairman and Bob Sinisac as creative arts chairman. (Greenberg was acclaimed in regular math, Kilimnik lost in the arts election, Wootten, pubs chairman for the past three months, is a science rep and Sinisac, also on Bergsma’s three-month executive, was elected in arts. ) However when Bergsma tried to have Golemba’s appointment rubber-stamped arts rep Larry Caesar and Renison rep Paul Dube asked that all the applications for the post be read. Speaker Sandy MacGregor then read an application from Cyril Levitt, arts 3, who proposed the federation aid organized labor in strikes, send arms to the Viet Cong and Latin American revolutionaries, and support any socialist revolutionary move- . ment in Canada. When asked how he arrived at his choice for the post, Bergsma replied, “by personal prerogative, if nothing else.” He stated he had been primarily influenced by “political outlook and ability.” “Cyril is entitled to his opinions,” Bergsma added. Golemba’s appointment was approved. However, discussion on the education board position was more involved. Bergsma touted Minken as a former executive of the science society, student member of the campus center board and “a good organizer.” Other applications had been
opposed
received from Don Gregory, arts 2, and arts rep Dave Cubberley. Cubberley has been elected to council three times and offered his experience as one of Prof. Donald Gordon’s assistants in preparing the propogal for the college of integrated studies. Caesar asked, “In view of Cubberley’s obviously better qualifications, why did you ask him to apply and then smash him. Was it just to show your power?” Bergsma admitted he had asked Cubberley to apply for both the education and external relations posts but “in light of other applications and in consultation. with my past executive board, I chose Minken. ’ ’ Minken said he had little to offer besides his limited experience but added he would put all the time needed @to the board “to create enthusiasm and reorganize the board. ” Joe Surich, arts 4, asked from the floor what it takes to be education chairman and suggested that Cubberley is far more knowledgeable about student organizations and course unions. Bergsma replied that Minken showed interest and agreed with his plans for decentralizing the board. He stated that he had not discussed his plans with Cubberley to learn his ideas. Mike Corbett, arts 1, suggested from the audience “It seems all the board chairmen must be images of John Bergsma.“ “Are they all to be flunkies of the president, John?” he asked. Bergsma replied, “When one campaigns on certain issues, one chooses an exec board to follow them through. That’s what I did.” Minken then outlined his plans for decentralizing the education board after which Cubberley commented, “I agree entirely with Minken. It’s a laudable idea, it involves people in dec’i<. sion-making.” Former vicepresident Tom Patterson asked Minken how he
viewed the relation between education and political matters. Minken replied. “I don’t want to answer that. I think they should be separate.” After Minken’s appointment was confirmed. Bergsma announced that the communications chairman, like the student-activities chairman, would not be appointed at that time. Replying to a question from Dube, Bergsma said that Andy Anstett, arts 4 and Tom Ashman. arts 1 had applied. Dube’s attempt to move Ashman’s nomination was ruled out of order. Reaching the end of the list. Bergsma moved the appointment of Dieter Haag, his former vicepresident who was defeated in a bid for re-election as a grad rep. as executive member at large. Asked for the terms of reference for this job. Bergsma stated that Haag xould be generally assisting the president and
vicepresident. filling committee vacancies, receiving reports of federation representatives. acting as his delegate to university committees assisting in some reorganization plans and doing research. Dube commented, “It sounds like Dieter will be working his little ass off doing John’s job,” to which Haag replied that if he wanted to do this work. that was his business. Newly-appointed external relations chairman Ron Golemba then . pointed out that many of the functibns of representation and research fall under his board. Bergsma replied there should be no conflict’ because Haag would be filling in a gap. ” “If that’s a gap,” returned Golemba, “I suggest. you look for a new external chairman. A lot of what you mentioned were external-rela tions functions. ’ ’ Haag’s nomination was approved and on the following motion former speaker MacGregor surrendered the gavel to his successor, math grad Roger Kingsley.

Ryersonians agree
Engineers reject ’ bud sdecision The engineers are finding it hard to agree with some of council’s more “radical” proposals. EngSoc B. officially slapped councils’ wrists tuesday for loaning $lO,qOO to Sir George’s bail fund. This was done in the form of a motion that was presented to the society’s own council. It read “the council of EngSoc of the B.. as representatives undergraduate engineering students on campus, express disapproval with the motion passed by the council of the Federation of Students granting up to $10,000 bail for the arrested Sir George Williams students.” The engineers feel they have a reason to be mad . They say if council continues to pass these motions it will hurt “radical” their co-op program. Dave Berry, civil 2A, summed it up when he said “council made a mistake using such a very well-known issue. The publicity could really hurt our job chances.” One of the spectators was Brian Switzman, president of the Ontario Union of Students. He had much to say about this so-called adverse publicity . ‘:It isn’t the radicals that are causing the job shortage. The system just doesn’t have enough . jobs for all of the students to compensate for this. The corporations ’ blame the radicals for creating bad publicity and it is this publicity that is causing the job shortage.” The engineers either couldn’t or this. There wouldn’t believe was more than one speaker who continued along Berry’s line of speech. Also present were engineering rep Rich Lloyd and science rep Gerry Wootton. Both are council members and both voted for the motion. They tried to explain
council’s reasoning but they failed to reach the gathering. Both commented that the main reason was to show the inadequate bail laws of Canada. Most of the members agreed with them that the bail system was poor. Several members went as far as to say council should not give the money to students but to those arrested in the K-W area. At this time past EngSoc president Jim Pike challenged the present president Mike Martin to lobby for this idea. For over an hour and a half the debate continued. Few of the EngSoc members talked as the large number of observers tried to show them the purpose of the motion. It was to no avail as the motion was passed overwhelmingly. The count was 115 for, 3 against. P* * More than 2,000 angry students of Ryerson shouted down their elected leaders and vetoed proposed financial help for the arrested Sir George students on tuesday. Many classes were cancelled so all interested students could attend. Over half of the student body responded. Hoots and jeers drowned out the few who spoke in favor of the $1,000 financial aid proposed by the student council. The motion was defeated 2,200 to 200 by a hand count. David Maxwell, past council president told the meeting that helping with the legal defence costs was not the same as condoning the rampage. His speech drew nothing but jeers and shouts. Another speaker. Ian Murdoch, opposed a second motion calling for financial assistance to rebuild the computer. He said this was unnecessary because it was insured. The motion was defeated, with only 35 voting in favor.
Environmental Senate last week approved the new college of environmental studies and discussed the admission criteria. Trevor Boyes, the registrar, said that the present admission policy was not to be changed, and moved reapproval of it. The motion was passed. The Pete McBryde, dean of science, told the senate of the growing problem of admission of students from ungraded high schools. There are about 35 or 40 schools in Ontario using a subject promotion or ungraded system. This number could possibly increase to 200 by next September. The admissions committee felt that the highschool situation would probably make necessary not only a review of admission policy but of university curricula as well. McBryde suggested the formation of a task force to examine the whole question in depth. This committee could be composed of interested faculty who would have remission from teaching duties. He felt that joint action by the universities of Ontario is better but much slower and thus this university should act alone if necessary. A representative of local highschools added it would be two years before the full impact of changes hit the university. Since the report of the senate committee on academic organization was not ready, acting president Howie Petch gave a verbal I
college
report of its progress. He outlined the divisions within the university between professional and nonprofessional groups, the division of the non-professional group into the three faculties of arts, science and math, and the further division into departments. These boundaries make it difficult for students to change their programs, and make it hard for anyone to do general or interdisciplinary studies. There is a need for the unification of the practice of arts, science and math in order to make transfer easier. There is a possibility first year will become common, and that students will not enter a faculty until second year. It is the function of the senate to oversee this unification. A motion to form a task force to look into this particular area was proposed by McBryde, and carried unanimously. John Bergsma, as student rep on the senate, suggested that students be included on this task force, to which Petch casually replied ‘ ‘good idea ’ ’ . Petch also spoke about theCollege of Environmenta-l Studies on behalf of his committee. He said that the only opposition had come from certain parts of arts faculty because of the possible loss of the geography department. All of the students and faculty members that would be invelved were in favor of the college. A cost study done by engineering prof ,Jack Ellis, showed the college to be financially viable.

Student splitting
\ affairs review considers empire into boards
Friday afternoon’s student affairs review committee meeting began as leaping leo’s lectures series, and ended as ambitious al’s anatomy of a residence. Besides prof Leo Johnson and Al Crawford, the committee members present were chairman Jack Brown, Dieter Haag, prof L. Watt, and Nancy Murphy. The committee, which has been meeting to consider the role of student affairs and- services following the resignation of pro-
set up In the following discussion, the same objection was raised in different ways by Archie Sherbourne, dean of engineering, George Cross, dean of graduate studies, and Jay Minas, dean of arts. In light of the previous discussion about barriers between faculties it seems unwise to create in fact a new faculty. It would be better to destroy the boundaries that exist. Given the liberalization of existing faculties, it would be possible to mount an environmental studies program without a college. Petch read a great number of letters he had received in support of the college and then proposed-the formation of a division of environmental studies with the power of a faculty, effective july 1. The formation of a school of planning and a school of architecture within-the division and the formation of a man-environment department. Petch suggested that the geography department would move into the division, but still be considered part of arts. The chairman of geography would report to the dean of environmental studies on day to day matters, and to the dean of arts on long range matters. The department will have a program in arts and will still participate in arts faculty council. Petch’s motions were passed and the details regarding geography were left to Petch to work-out.
vost Bill Scott, began friday’s session by hearing Johnson’s plan which would create three boards: to be responsible for the services formerly reporting to Scott. One board would supervise creative arts. (presently under the federation). Another would look after health services, counselling services and the foreign student office. A third board would be responsible for housing and residences. Johnson saw the deans of men and women acting as ombudsmen. He wanted a student majority \ on all boards, as he felt the users should control their services. He also proposed contracts between the administration and the boards, which would define the facilities under the control of the boards. The boards would be funded from a direct levy of the students. Haag agreed with Johnson’s board system, except he wanted creative arts to remain within the federation. He also wished the deans of men and women to be responsible only to the administration president. He agreed with the student majority on boards and wanted the federation to select the student members. “The chairman, of each board should sit on the others to ensure communication”, he added. Dr. Watt agreed with Johnson’s ’
administration president and not to a board. Nancy Murphy hoped for close ties between the committees, and thought there might be value in a committee composed of the various chairmen. Following the general discussion the committee considered residence government in more detail. (Johnson had put an organization chart on the blackboard whereby each residence manager would be responsible to his residence council. The councils would in turn be responsible to a general director of residences, who would in turn be responsible to either an administration vicepresident orb the administration president. (Various existing and as yet nonexistent vicepresidents were men-. tioned. ) Jack Brown thought the various residence managers should report directly to the director of residences and not to their respective councils. He felt that the managers would have no protection from being fired if they were responsible only to their councils. Prof Watt felt the residence managers should be able to have recourse to the-director of residences to force service from other departments if necessary. Crawford went into a long defence of Johnson’s proposal. He wanted the residence managers to be able to go outside the first two proposed boards, but university to get service if they not with the third. could not get it when required He sati two levels of decisionfrom other departments, for exmaking for the boards-general university policies affecting all ample in the repair of a broken window.

One of the formal suppliers contacted was Ross Klopp Ltd. of Waterloo. Klopp is the local agent for Syd Silver Ltd. of Toronto. Klopp has had the Grad Ball contract for the past two years. He quoted a price of $15 (tax included) per suit if ordered before january and a price of $17.50 after the january 20. Klopp claimed higher price was due to a new
Angry students ha/t Michener on Trinidad campus
,
.
PORT OF SPAIN (GINS)-Gov.i Gen. Michener was turned away from the Trinidad campus of the University of the West Indies here Wednesday by a group of shouting, placard-waving students. Flying in from Barbados in the course of his state visit to Commonwealth Caribbean countries, Mr. Michener was to tour the university campus en route from the airport to Government House. As soon as his entourage reached the university, a group of about 75 students blocked the gate and started chanting “No, no, no.” The Canadian Governor-General raised his arms and appealed for silence. But the students pressed forward and continued shouting only a few inches away from his face. The students said they were protesting against racial discrimination in Canada, particularly at Sir George Williams University in Montreal. Some 90 students, including about 40 West Indians, were arrested recently after a demonstration and burning of the university’s computer center.

(which renders him both more willing to bear the forfeiture of bail and less willing to bear the disgrace of a conviction), (4) the consideration whether the proposed sureties are independent or are likely to have been indemnified by the accused, and (6) the probability of the accused’s tampering with the Crown witnesses, if he be at large. . .

price list effective february 1. “He insisted those were the best prices he could offer,” says Ironside. The committee had expected a better deal than this because of the large number of suits involved, 400 to 5000 and last years price of $11. Ironside said the committee knew in advance about the price fix through a contact. The committee decided to deal with Tuxedo Junction Ltd. in Toronto who would not join in the price fix. The rentals there were $15.50 final price to the ticket purchaser including sales tax and a small charge added by the committee. The committee feels they are getting a superior suit and a guarantee of 500 identical suits which Klopp could not offer. When contacted Klopp had many emphatic statements to make about the situation. He claims he has always offered a price of $15 and never asked $17.50. He said his rentals are the best in Canada, and he can guarantee 500 of them. When asked if any price fixing had occured Klopp replied, “There was no price fixing involved. We

have to s tandardize prices though, or else we’d be cutting each other’s throats. ” Klopp said he wrote a letter to the committee expressing his concern over their decision to deny him the contract. Later when talking to two committee members in his store he cited his past two years of “exceptional service’ ’ , his ads in university publications, his contribution to the Tenth Anniversary Fund and the fact he is a local businessman. On feb 10 he was notified in writing that the committee would deal with Tuxedo Junction. Klopp’s ad in last friday’s Chevron listed prices of $13.33 and $12.38 (plus tax) for tuxedos. Klopp said,” I finally got fed up and decided to take a loss in order to maintain my integrity as a supplier of formal wear. I didn’t bother to contact the committee to offer any further deal.” Ironside is concerned Klopp has put the committee in an embarrassing position with his lower prices. “We hope all grads will patronize the committee for their formals for their own convenience and to make our trouble worthwhile.”

Fire hits optometry
Dr. G. Atkinson
Damage has been estimated at more than $125,000 in the fire which hit the University of Waterloo’s school of optometry early Saturday morning. Firemen said damage to the three-storey building, Waterloo’s old post office. was about $40,000 while equipment damage came to $85,000. Flames were confined to the top floor which held older equipment used by the junior students. Other equipment was moved before much harm had been done but Water damage to the newer instruments may bring estimates up. Students of optometry were commended by M.E. Woodruff, director of clinics for the school, when many helped firemen carry the equipment to safety. All saveable contents were transferred to an office building across the street. Waterloo fire prevention investi-

gators are trying to determine the cause of the three-hour blaze. Checked by the university security guard an hour before the alarm was registered, there was no sign of a fire. Equipment has been offered firms from Toronto optical and local laboratories in order to facilitate a return to classes. Temporary quarters in the former Waterloo Insurance company building will be used until the end of lectures on april 5. Plans by the new owners of the building, General Foods; to start immediate construction of a restaurant, will be delayed for the term. Due to their co-operation students will be permitted to complete their courses at the regular time. The final decision for new quarters will not be made until a decision to restore the clinic’s final quarters has been reached.

Reinhold Baer, visiting ma thema tician, has been introduced as an academician *‘smarter than the average baer’: Respected everywhere for his work in group theory, Baer spent his early career in Germany, fled to the States in the mid-thirties, and fled once more to Germany in the mid-fifties, accepting a chair at Frankfurt. Baer is a walking debate on universities, curriculum and teaching. “There are two reasons” said he “that my ideas will never be put secondly, because I speak for them.” He has kindly consen ted to the fo/lo wing interview.

Perhaps anything which happens in one’s youth is better than anything which happens in one’s age. We were definitely freer than my students were, in spite of anything I did for them. And they were freer than the next generation of students will be, in the course of reforms to a more democratic society. Student radicals, for instance, want to introduce a mass society which means nobody has any say. I see where the German universities are moving. They will get very strictly regulated studies such. as you have in colleges all over the world. Germany didn’t have any colleges and so the Students were fairly free, whereas any study which is involved in a college is a strictly prescribed curriculum and is definitely not free. You can’t choose your teacher, e you can’t choose your subject, you can’t choose anything. I don’t talk about the other nonsense: you have to be home at 10, etc.: it was impossible to ask in Germany.

Now it is coming back again in the course of the student rebellion which again is a very disagreeable thing. In Germany we elected a rector for one year. We elected every dean for one year. They could be re-elected for a second term, but nobody wanted to be. YOU find that if someone occupies an administrative office for too long they begin to know how to pull a few too many strings. Pretty soon a serious disease begins to arise which we in Germany call megalomania rectoralis. The short terms for administrators is a good partial remedy for this disease. A Hungarian mathematician by the name of Rado said: The difference between American and Hungarian universities is described like this. The man who is called a dean in America would be called a secretary in Hungary. I would get up when the dean comes in and the secretary would get up when I come in. Is trol
In Berkeley, the fault was of course with administrative circles. The students wanted to speak out on campus. It is no business of a professor if the students want to speak. It is very silly of the people in Berkeley to give the student rebellion a very nice start by forbidding them to hear all kinds of speakers who may or may not have been intelligent. If they want to listen to Billy Graham. that’s ‘their business. If they want to listen out of the to Trotsky appearing their business. Nobody grave that’s should interfere with that. This is how all these things started. There are many areas where the student should have complete freedom. He should be free of his parents, he should not have substitute parents on the campus and he should be permitted to go out and come in at times he selects. I don’t think it is the business of the administration of a university or of the dean of men. let ‘us say. to look into the private life of an 18-year-old boy. It would be best if the students would run their houses themselves with some help given from elsewhere, but with no regulations coming from parents or substitute parents. But the issue with the radical students is not a university issue. That they exercise it on the universities is a rather thing. The German sttident mean rebels say they attack the universities because they are something to be changed.

A rebellion of the professors can be very effective. At the time I went back to Germany there was a story of a minister of education who had to resign because the professors had rebelled against him. This impressed me deeply because it is impossible to get the same effect in. let’s say, Illinois. If you want to have a person who is somewhat independent (and you want to have a person who is somewhat independent if you want a decent university) then he cannot be under review, except in extreme . cases. As long as a person is under review he has no freedom. In Germany there are some incompetent ones among them, but that is the price you have to pay for freedom. What tion

Legally the student in the American highschool has more freedom in selecting his courses than a student in an American college. It should be the other way around. But the results are obvious: you take the easy course. Usually, you take flower-binding and typewriting. In Germany highschools are very unelastic. On the other hand, the highschool arrangement in the ‘IJ.S. is very elastic. if you want to make use of it. By sufficient propaganda you succeed in infiltrating into the parents the idea that their children should have an education that differs in no respect from that of any other child. This is nonsense. Every child should have a different education. There should be specialized highschool education. It is probably not a good idea to have all the kids in the same school. I am very undemocratic, but it’s more important to me that the child learn good cultivated English than to grow up as a democrat. What tions

It depends on what system they are under. If everybody gives examinations and somebody doesn’t, this will not produce good results. But I believe examinations falsify the whole study program. Because then you are taught for examinations, you study for examinations and they only can be taught things that can be examined. But the better things of life can’t be examined. So, for instance the 18-yearolds would come into the university and would select their own courses, in any number of fields. They wouldn’t be examined in the courses, they wouldn’t be given credit in the courses. There -is no problem. There is complete freedom. They could select a course: if they didn’t like Prof. A, they could go to Prof. B. One day, of course, a reckoning will come; if they want to write a thesis in ma thema tics, they will have to know something. All this is on the way out now in Germany. There are strictly regulated courses, a strict order of things. friday,

Graduates chasing will face competition , by Terrence
Belford
Students graduating from university this year will have to hustle to compete for permanent employment in the face of their record numbers-about 20 percent more than last year’s 59,000. Employers are reticent about increasing wage offers made to last year’s graduates and they are holding the line on hiring because of the tight money situation. Engineering, business and pure science graduates will have the least trouble finding suitable jobs this year. Graduates with a background in computers or pure mathematics also will be snapped up. ‘4rts and pass course students, especially the latter, will be under pressure; they have not the professional training to compete for technical jobs and Ontario school boards, once a major recruiter of arts graduates across Canada, can no longer hire directly from universities without special permission. (Graduates must attend the Ontario College of Education before being considered for employment. 1
The boom is over William Rutledge, president of the [Jniversity Career Planning Association and supervisor of organization and personnel for Toronto-based Gulf Oil Canada Ltd., presents an employment picture not much changed from last year. The boom years of the early and middle nineteen sixties are over and a more normal situation has taken its place. Companies need make only 1% offers to fill a vacancy this year, compared with an average of five several years ago. Rutledge says three groups can expect difficulty finding employment: arts, foreign and female students. Those that do secure jobs can expect only 1 percent more money than offered 1968 graduates, compared with a 5 percent increase in 1968 and a 10 percent rise in 1967 and 1966. The situation is not as bad in Ontario as in the Atlantic provinces. The Public Service Commission, a major employer of Atlantic graduates, will hire 1,560 this year, 576 fewer than in 1968. He notes that this figure could change as federal . departments make revisions in their requirements. At Memorial University in St. John’s, 60 to 65 percent of the graduating class will come to the mainland to find work. The groups remaining include education majors and about 50 percent of the commerce graduates, who will find jobs with the Newfoundland goverriment, banks and accounting companies. C. B. Barrett, manager of the Canada Manpower office on Memorial’s campus thinks most commerce, pure science, social science and education graduates are set for jobs. Arts men will find it as difficult as ever.
Demand slackening He indicates a i0 percent decrease in company recruiters and their requirements, although the university has a 25 percent increase in graduates available. There has been a slackening demand for graduates in the physical sciences and mathematics. About 70 to 75 percent of the graduating students are already fairly sure of employment. Mr. Barrett says, but the remaining 4

25 percent-mostly arts graduates-have a few months of hard scrambling before them. To Joseph Petrie, the placement officer at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S., smaller mari times employers appear to prefer students in sophomore or junior years. “It’s partly a question of money, ” he says, “but mostly the maritimes employer just doesn’t appreciate the value of university training to growing industries. ” By September, most of the university’s 450 graduates will have work but a number of them will have had to lower their job goals and often work in areas that have little relation to their education.
Quebecois move out Quebec has its share of a graduate exodus. The social unrest in the province and an awareness of the world around them has prompted graduates from provincial universities to accept jobs outside the province. Rowan Coleman, director of the student placement service at McGill University in Montreal, says that although the number of students seeking employment outside Quebec is still in a minority there is a definite trend towarh moves outside the province. ‘4 cutback in recruiting by major industry employers hesitant about jhiring in the face of Quebec’s present financial -and social stance has lent support to the trend. Arts graduates have been the first to feel the cutback. Smaller universities in the province are attracting more local businesses and these help fill the gap left by the non-attendance of national concerns. More arts graduates are turning to accounting and graduate schools are showing increased enrolment. At the University of Toronto, Allan Headrick, placement service director, predicts a situation similar to that existing in 1968 and reinforces Rutledge’s view that it is normal. He says: “The glorious days of 1964-67 are an unrealistic period to base comparisons on. The present situation is more normal.
The small will suffer
“Larger universities will not suffer as much but the smaller ones, far from companies’ head offices, will feel a cutback.” Professional graduates are the easiest to place and draw the greatest share of the 350 companies recruiting on campus in 1969 but arts graduates need not despair. According to Headrick, a good male arts graduate is sought after by a wide range of employers. An increasing number of accounting off ices are hiring artsmen. York University’s big draw, its business administration course, has increased the number of campus recruiters to about 100 but arts students must rely on their merits and ability to communicate to land jobs. Linda Munro, a York student placement officer, says: “We can usually find jobs for business graduates but for the arts student it depends on his ability to sell himself. The fellow who can walk in and communicate with you, who can transfer his ideas to you, will be hired.”
iobs 1
The York service will find positions for more than 50 percent of the university’s 650 graduates in 1969. About 65 percent of the 1500member graduating class at McMaster University in Hamilton will register with the student placement service, Sixty percent of the total registered will find employment through it. W. H. Thomas, student placement director, says 240 companies will recruit on campus this year, 35 fewer than in 1968. Those that do will be more selective and offer salaries increased 5 to 8 percent from last year. As for salaries, Thomas offers estimates of what graduates can expect : honors commerce, $575 a month; pass arts, $515; honors I arts, $610; MBA $675; engineering, $625 to $630; pass science, $540; honors science, $615. Early in 1969, 169 companies had lined up to recruit graduates at Queen’s University in Kingston, compared with only 144 at the same time last year. The only graduates that placement officials having difficulty are those with master’s or PhD degrees in business administration. They are too expensive for companies to train into specific usefulness and recruiters are more interested in bachelor’s degrees.

Seventy-one percent of the University of Manitoba’s 1969 business administration graduates will stay in the province this year. They will be joined by an increasing percentage of the university’s graduating class of engineers. Manufacturing companies, the provincial hydro commission and rising construction activity will keep them. Some engineers will not get jobs but these will be the poorer students. M.L. Matthews, student placement officer, says although the number of businesses recruiting on campus has declined to 225 this year from 261 last year and 288 in 1967, companies still telephone and ask for names of likely candidates for iohs. National companies have found phone calls inviting resumes by mail much less expensive than a recruiting team.
Phone calls cheaper The most sought after group at the University of Saskatchewan in Regina is its initial class of students graduating with a bachelor of administration degree. They are receiving from two to six job offers each, mostly from outside the province, and can expect a $575 average monthly salary. The most mobile group of western Canadian graduates are those in arts courses. Increased activity iii mining and the oil industry does them little good, so they set off for Toronto. Michael Zuk, acting manager of the University of ‘4lberta branch of Canada Manpower, says one large Calgary-based oil company will hire 28 graduates this year, compared with 14 in 1968. Accounting companies are providing a new market for female graduates. The girls will train, on staff, to be chartered accountants. reprinted from the Glove and Mail report on business

NE OF EVERY fifteen students at Uni,wat lives in the church colleges across Laurel Creek. What breed of animal is this resident? What role does the Church play in his personal or academic life? In this and subsequent issues these questions will be studied, but first we must look at the traditional role of the church in education at the university level.

Arm
of church
During the eleventh and twelfth centuries the university emerged as an arm of the Roman Catholic Church. In fact, most of the educated scholars in Europe were in religionwhich resulted clergy. oriented teaching of arts and sciences. A second factor which increased the predominating influence of the church on curriculum was that of money, for most universities were financed by the church, and were thus able to offer their students a free education. Although there were strings of power monetary gifts, the attached to such quite satisfactory arrangement proved since even until the eighteenth century the majority of university graduates became clergymen. Universities had not yet become an integral part of the economic life of Europe. The shift in emphasis was precipitated by the growth of wealth through agricultural conquest, the expansion of commerce and industry, and the development of world finance. The new age of technology had no tolerance for the restrictive powers of the church-the market now called for a man with a head for the empirical world who had no time for acts of faith. State colleges were soon ,founded and until the second World War theology seemed to have been excluded altogether university disciplines. This from the seems unfortunate since by eliminating theology in the study of man and his society the academic was ignoring, if nothing else, one of man’s most traditional means of social integration. However, the vestiges of church education remain in many Canadian universi6es. There-are five of these on this campus alone; six,, if you include ,the campus center. In focusing on Uniwat, St. Jerome’s would probably be the logical, starting point in a study of these colleges, mainly because it celebrated the hundredth anniversary of its founding one year before Uniwat marked its tenth. \
St. Jerome’s College St. Jerome’s College-founded in 1866 by the Resurrectionist order of priestsoriginally served the purpose, as can be expected, of preparing young men for the priesthood.
In 1959, the Ontario legislature gave it the new title of University of St. Jerome’s College, with the power to grant degrees. In 1960 it was federated with the newly formed University of Waterloo, and moved to its present location in 1962. St. Jerome’s can be classified as “a small liberal arts college” and offers a wide range of credits. Its courses are considered by most as at least on a par with the university because the classes are smaller and the student receives more individual attention. A close tab is kept on the professors and complaints-can be taken to the dean, Fr. Ralston or the Pres. Fr. Finn.
Structural
snags
However, there are many snags in the structure. One student noted that “the student-f acuity meetings which were usually of the wine-and-cheese variety, were a ball but that nothing was ever decided”. The faculty seems to be afraid of losing power. The additional problem exists that many of the priests are too conscious of their collar, a restriction in their relationships with the students. These teaching clergy also live at St. Jerome’s residence and can observe their students closely. Some -students claim. that this sometimes results in seemingly aberrant behaviour in one’s personal life affecting academic standing, while others argue that the resident teacher, being more aware of personal problems is often more sympathetic to students who are doing poorly.

Most of the girls at Notre Dame and the boys at St. Jerome’s have come from R.C. high schools, and there is little variance in thought. Many students attribute this to a general conformity, and one resident asked to sum up his impression of the general mood just whimpered “follow us, ba-ba”. However, to be fair, we could also attribute this to the fact that the college is really a small community-and the indignant resident who insisted that “anyone who didn’t like the rules could get out” may have been justified. But this same person also said he did not want to voice criticism because he was afraid his marks would go down. 4s with any residences, Notre Dame and St. Jerome’s have their cliques, though perhaps not as defined as those in the Village. Everybody knows everybody (and their business) and with next year’s projected expansion, there is some fear that the cliques will become more exclusive. A resident might be no more than a nodding acquaintance with anyone outside his or her close circle of friends.

Really, Fr. Firetto-the monastery at 6:30 am? Sister Leon, dean of women at Notre Dame is well-liked bv the girls and is always availabx for advice. She even recently gave them permission to wear slacks at lunch. Prefects and dons comprise House committees in both residences and are responsible for observance of the rules. They have been instrumental in “liberalization.” Observe. l curfew (visiting hours) is from 1:OO to 5:00 pm. Saturday and Sunday afternoons: 7 :00 to 10 : 30 Saturday evening. 0 all guests must be signed in l the doors to all rooms with female guests must be left open. 0 no drinking of alcoholic beverages l no room hopping is permitted. Notre Dame’s rules are similar except that visiting hours are only from one to five Sunday afternoon. (Writer Murphy is too polite. The “liberalization” of rules which she cites seems little more than a transition from feudal to medieval oppression. Big deal-rats. ) “I’ve never seen such a compact-family group”,Notre Dame resident. The small community atmosphere here has been fostered by many traditions. One of these is the Awards Banquet, an annual dinner open to all students including dayhops, and recognizing both aca-demic and athletic achievements. Along this line there is also a student newspaper and this year there might even be a separate yearbook for the college. Another integrative factor is that of religion, in the form of the “parish” which sponsors films, social evenings, retreats and discussions. St. Jerome’s also has a 7:OOpm. folk Mass every Sunday which is jammed by students from the entire campus. No resident at St. Jerome’s or Notre Dame is compelled to go to Church. The campus at large might be aware of St. Aethelwold’s Players, which is a St. Jerome’s College organization, and the college’s involvement with Winterland ‘68. What do the other church colleges have to rival these campus activities? Well St. Pauls insists that it runs FASS night: and the campus center claims it presents spiritual guidance to every student. even if he is not in the fold. More about these later.

In the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1951, Japan relinquished her “right, title, and claim” over Formosa, but the beneficiary of her renunciation was cautiously unspecified under the Allies’ arrangement. Our conclusion is that an independent Formosa is the only path open to us save permanent slavery, and that a “One Formosa, One China” policy is to the best for the world peace. ,
* 2 million Mainland Chinese t 15% of the entire population) are represented by 2,047 (98.6”: ) out of the 2,076 members of the National Assembly,- the Legislature, and the Control Yuan, while the native Formosans’ share is a scanty 29 (1.4%) for 11 million (85%). \
,,--
COMMITTEE FOR.HUMAN RIGHTS IN FORMOSA is dedicated to the establishment of a free, democratic and independent Republic of Formosa in accordance with the principle of self-determination of its people. We repudiate, therefore, all forms of totalitarian dictatorship, Chinese Communist or Nationalist. We invite all freedom-loving intellectuals to join or help us in our cause and programs of nation-building.
All of these members of the representative bodies were elected 21 years ago-in 1947, and in less than 2 years (1949) Chiang was thrown out of the Mainland by the Chinese people who had supposedly “elected” him. His is a colonial regime ruling in the name of a homeland forever lost ! l Even the economic “boom” brought by the Vietnam war has failed to help white wash his diminishing return economic squeeze .and exploitation. Yet American tax-payers are paying the Madison Avenue advertising agencies hired by the Chiangs to convince themselves of the existence of a “prosperous” “Free China! ”
On Behalf of Our Silent Oppressed People, We Demand: The Issue of Formosa deserves separate question of recognition of China.
l
consideration
l Actually, Formosa is a non-self-governing ‘territory detached from Japan as a result of the Second World War. The- Allies are responsible for its present situation and, therefore the UN. is entitled to prepare a way for its future. l An internationally supervised plebiscite should be held in Formosa to decide the future status of Formosa in the international community. -

When it comes to obtaining films that are thought-provoking or worthwhile, the Twin Cities are not what you would call cultural centers. The films that play here are usually the run of the mill commercial products which have proven to be good boxoffice draws in the larger centers. The films of such directors as Bergman, Antonioni, Godard, Renais and Bunel never appear unless the sexual element has been well exploited beforehand. The theater managers cannot be blamed for this unfortunate state of affairs: they must pay their bills. It is the lack of public enthusiasm that hinders experimentation on the part of theater managers. There is one place in the area however. where there should be no. problems attached to showing good movies: the university. The University of Waterloo is supposed to be a place where minds are open to new ideas. The film series are good but the weekend Festivals, open to public, are not so good. The film festivals this year have included such gems as Cleopatra, Carry en

and ten old Batman serials. Far from being experimental, most of them have been on television and through the commercial circuit a: couple of times. Why not some good films! Good films don’t just include recent European examples ; but include the Marx brothers, Hitchcock, Chaplin, Orson Welles, the films of Humphrey Bogart and many others. Fortunately things are beginning to look brighter. The general public will have the opportunity of seeing some fine films on campus march 8 and 9. Of course if this commercial experiment fails we will be hurried back to the days of Batman. This upcoming festival will show not only two of Bergman’s rarelyseen films but also the added delight of the original King Kong. The two Bergman films will show the two extremes of his genius, one being a zany farce (in color) and the other a complex religious allegory (in black and white 1.
All these women pokes fun at the snobbish pretensionsof drawing-room art, the very thing that has frightened many intelligent people away from the word culture. It is stylish, nutty, slapstick entertainment. It throws darts at critics, fame, censors, and female admirers. The amusing sex humor is unusual for Bergman; at least many people seem to think it unusual for Bergman. The other Bergman film Through a glass darkly is one of his m’ore typical thought-provoking movies. Through a glass darkly was the second of Bergman’s religious trilogy along with Winter light and The silence. The three were concerned with religion in today’s spiritually impotent world, with man’s lack of faith, the process of his losing it and. the failures of communication which ensue from the loss. Ingmar Bergman is the most fascinating personality in modern Swedish film and one of the most talked-about film directors anywhere in the world. Along with Bergman’s two excellent films will be Merian C. Cooper’s King Kong. For all

Idon ‘t monkeJ7 around when it comes to toothpaste those that think this afiother practical joke by the student organizers of film festivals to attract all the sceptical film-goers, be prepared for a true feast. King Kong, for all those who have never seen it, is one of the screen’s classics, rated by Bosley Crowthers, critic-emeritus of N.Y. Times, as one of the fifty greatest films of all time. Its suspense, sheer excitment and entertainment value cannot go unseen. The movie is 105 minutes long. And the audience will be able to see every scene, even the highlycensored parts that were cut from the film on its first release in 1933. Do not let the age of the movie, or the width of the screen keep you from seeing this masterpiece. Since Kong’s release forty years ago, dozens of film producers have imitated it. But in no way do Gorgo, Godzilla or even Rodan compare to Kong. Compared to it they are model toys playing with plastic cities and cardboard country-sides. But King Kong has character. In his life, fall, and death he controls the complete sympathy of the audience. The excellent special effects go hand-in-hand with a
brilliant script to create an almost human monster that becomes the embodiment of the tragic hero. Fay Wray. Bruce Cabot and Robert Armstrong portray the major (human) characters in stylized but sincere form. (One must have sympathy for the actors of this age ). Ernest B. Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper collaborated to direct David 0. Selznick’s production. And Max Steiner created the award-winning music score.

The Proposal
by Ed Thomas Chevron staff
Certainly the most outstanding Workshop Production of this year The Proposal, a one-act play written was staged last tuesday. by Anton Chekhov, and directed by Ron Watkin, was a very entertaining display of extreme talent and excellent direction. Vern Copeland, playing the role of Chubukov, a pompous Russian landlord who is easily driven to temper and argument, must be recognized as a brilliant new talent on this campus. His portrayal left the audience weak with laughter. and his ability as an actor must be highly praised. John Turner. already well-known for his comical portrayal of Malvolio in the drama company’s production of Twelfth Night, made a similar impression on the audience in his role of the young suitor of Chubukov’s daughter. Lomov. Both his professionalism (gained from his short career at Stratford) and his ease on stage enabled the audience to appreciate his enormous talent in a comedy situation. Playing Natalya. Chubukov’s daughter. was Lyn Burkowski. whose appe.arance greatly enhanced the production as well as making the stage more attractive. Her dramatic appeal and disposition helped to round the character of the play and genuinely increase its enjoyability. Further credit must be given to Mita Scott (costumes) and Ken Quary (properties and setting) for creating such a realistic picture of 19th century Russia. Congratulations to Ron Watkin are in order for a vivid interpretation of one of Chekhov’s best plays.

Will explains that The Unicorn is basically a children’s song”. “It’s all about a lovely wee white horse with a silver horn on its head. which was ridden on the Glens of Antrim by King Brian. Ruler of the Leprechauns. But when Noah built the Ark. the unicorn didn’t get on board fast enough. and was left behind to drown.” Now the Rovers have cut a setond L.P. and public appearances are in constant demand. Most

University POST
The University Toronto: Anansi,
Game, ed. H. Adelman 1968. 178 pp. $2.50.
This collection of articles is the best radical critique of universities that I know of. Two main lines of criticism emerge: 1) universities are impersonal, undemocratic, and uncreative; and 2) universities have made their own ends subservient to those of our technological society. There is some overlapping in these criticisms and in the proposed solutions as well. The first criticism is painfully obvious in the current waves of student discontent. Donald McCulloch analyzes the source of much of this discontent in terms of what he calls “relationships of unilateral respect and constraint” (p. 25). Such relationships can be found in most human institutions. They come into being “whenever two persons or groups come into sustained contact and potential differences conflict, perceive between themselves, define these differences as inequalities, and assume these inequalities to give the one person or group rights of command over the other” (p. 25-6). Such relationships seem wellsuited for our technological SOciety. They promote utility, effiand productivity. Whatciency, ever they may lack in spontaneity and creativity, they make up in security and order. Says MCCulloch, “the more nearly that a task requires persons to behave like things, like extensions of machines, the more efficient do unilateral arrangements become”. (p. 30).
* * *
It takes no great effort of the imagination to apply this analysis to relationships in the university. In a unilateral relationship, the dominant member feels that he knows -more and that he knows better than the dependent member (sound familiar? ). He feels a responsibility for the other and sets out to convert the other to his way of thinking, feeling, seeing, and valuing. The dependent member soon becomes persuaded of the worthlessness of his own ideas and. is forced to sit at the master’s feet soaking up wisdom, while turning for solace to those few areas where he maintains some personal control (sex, alcohol, drugs). Neither member of the relationship grows to any extent and the system that fosters such arrangements continues on unchallenged. This relational “people” problem underlies the more apparent problems of student participation. relevance of courses, publish or perish, etc. Its solution lies in creating relationships of mutual respect and co-operation where differences are seen as differences and not inequalities and where we are all responsible with others and for ourselves. One of the principal means through which we can come to a better understanding of ourselves is through interaction with others. Interaction does not mean dominance or dependence, but co-operation and mutual respect. Learning should thus be seen as a mutual endeavor where the teacher’s role is not that of dispenser of knowledge but guide to

it, not that of unquestioned auth-, ority but source of questions. The teacher who feels he has nothing to learn from his students might as well tape his lectures and spend all of his time in the lab. The other major criticism of universities is that they serve corporate and military interests to the detriment of their own end -the pursuit of truth. Today’s multiversities are but mirror-images of our fragmented, specialized society. What has happened to the quest for knowledge for its own sake and the role of the university as critic of society? Howard Adelman points out that there was no golden age when universities did not serve the interests of the powers-that-be (Church, State, or business), but that universities have traditionally managed to undermine, and transform institutional power and accepted social values. HOW can we restore within the university the full and free development of rational inquiry? Again the relevance and creativity of teaching and research also come into question. * * * When it comes to concrete solutions to these problems the book becomes less precise. C.W. Gonick talks somewhat euphorically of setting up within the multiversity “true centers of learning, creativity, and scholarship, with no obligation to train useful citizens” (p. 45). Granted the accuracy of the above mentioned criticisms, it is difficult to see‘ how or why such centers should be set up within the multiversity.
Dennis Lee describes the goals of Rochdale, an attempt at the free and flexible pursuit of truth outside of the university setting. Here the people who make decisions are those whom the decisions affect and no activity whatsoever is prescribed or proscribed as educational for the person carrying it on (p. 81). What is aimed at is a truly liberal education where one is “liberated” from unreflecting reliance on the assumptions and structures soaked up from family school, church, and society (p. 84). -_ What seems lacking in his proposal is any sense of the objective basis of truth and value; nor is there much respect for the reflection that went to make up the very things one is to be liberated from. The danger is that we will revert to new unilateral reteacher lationships in which and student have merely reversed roles. Howard Adelman, the book’s , co-editor, has no solution to offer. From the maze of conflicting criticisms and proposals for change. he concludes that perhaps the best we can do is create a community of radical scholars who play the ‘university game” A community which shares such a scorn and disrespect for the present society that it can embrace the whole bundle of rules and subvert them thereby ( p. 172 ). This suggestion seems more bitter than serious: perhaps because Adelman takes the problems as dead serious. His honesty and candor are shared by most of the contributors to the book. We would do well to follow their lead in analyzing what ails the university.

The bid of a new suit in this sequence is a try for game and is called a long suit game try. The bi.d shows that you have losing cards in that suit and requests partner to bid game (i.e. 4s) if his hand will limit the number of a losers in the new suit bid. In the above hand, North bids game because he has good cards in the heart suit and South justifies the bid by making 11 tricks, losing only one heart and one diamond. If North hearts and diamonds were interchanged, he would bid only 3s over South’s 3H friday,

Eric Mann is an executive member of the Students for a Democratic Society national executive. Following is the first ha/f of a speech he delivered last September at the University of Windsor orientation procedure, shortly before he continued his Canadian trip by speaking at Uniwa t. 3
VERY HAPPY to be here, but also in some ways very nervous. I’m nervous because I’m looking at a Im lot of you and thinking back to when I was a freshman. And I’m thinking that a lot of the things I would like to say would be platitudes. I would say things like “welcome” or “I’m sure you’ll have four happy years at the university of Windsor”, “that these are going to be the four happiest years of your life”, and a lot of the other things people say when you come in as a freshman. One of the reasons I won’t say it of course, is because I don’t believe it. And another reason I won’t say it is because it was said to me and it wasn’t true. And so I start out with a certain amount of trepidation. There is another reason why I’m worried about speaking tonight. This is that I have very mixed feelings about speaking to a group of mixed people, many of who won’t agree with a word I say. Now, in one way I guess that’s a\little o.k. because some of you probably won’t agree with anything anyone tells you in the next four years, and you’ll have about as little choice as you do this evening. Now, you at least have some choice this evening because there are no grades being given, but if you walk out, try to walk out quietly. 1’11 try and begin by talking about what happened to me, and try and explain what I think may happen to you. My parents never went to college. They spent a lot of time, probably from the time I was twelve and thirteen, talking to me about college. Now, they’ve probably never even seen the inside of a college, but they knew a lot about what it was like. 9
Quest
for knowledge?
They told me that if I went to college that that would be a place where I would. really meet people who are getting together in quest of knowledge, people who are interested in knowledge for its own sake. a place where I would really broaden myself, where I would learn a lot about the world, where I would make the kind of friendships that I could not make in high school.where. though I didn’t like the work in high school. I would find college different. you’re really going to like your work in college. Essentially. in a lot of ways. college was described to me as being very. very different from the lives that my parents were leading. and very different from the kind of life I was leading. College was being held up as a very practical utopia. And so I went to school. I remember being very happy. and walking into a dormitory. at Cornell. Cornel is built on some hills and valleys. and I remember standing at the top of the hill feeling very much alone, looking into a valley. said to myself. I’m going to really make it at this place. This is going to be the place where I’m going to find myself. What an expression!,Finding ypurself. Wdl. I don’t know where it started to go downhill. Maybe I could talk about the fact that six weeks after the school year started, some of the people got midterm grades. And at the end of mid-term. a very small percentage of the people were asked to leave. And so e 14
834 the Chevron
the dormitory I was in, became, in some way, a very scary kind of place, in some way maybe like a jail. Ed Hogue, class of 64, left after six weeks to go back New York. I thought, well, somebody to Kingston, else will fill that room. We don’t need him. We’ve got a lot of students here. He couldn’t cut the mustard. Maybe somebody else can. Goodbye, Ed, have a nice life. Then came first semester grades. ’’ I remember first, grabbing my books and running into the library. Man, was I studying, 5, 6 maybe 7 hours a day, taking so many notes. I wquld write 7 pages of work and then write 10 or 11 pages of notes... I remember trying very, very hard to do well, and having the sense that this was the place where I would prove that I was intellectual, if not superior, at least talented. But many problems started to develop. One of the problems was that six or eight weeks into the school year, I found out something; something that took me four years to acknowledge. What I found out was that I didn’t like to read and write too much. Now, for those of you coming here, I hope you like’ to read a lot, and I hope you like to write a lot, because that’s what college is. Stripped of all the rhetoric. You get your books, you read -a lot, you listen, and you write. You get some more books, you read them, you listen, and you write. Once in a while, you’re not even allowed to talk. But the main thing, is that you’d better like books a lot.
Reality
found
in books?
You’d better be committed to the idea that reality is found in books, because the whole university system revolves around that concept. If you like to sing, if you like to speak, if you like to organize, you can do that. But it’s called extra-curricular. ..it’s things you do in your spare time. It’s not essentially valuable, you see, it’s something that’s needed in a certain way to keep you busy and interested enough to go back to that essential task of more reading and more writing. Now, to start with, I think a lot of us wouldn’t want to be here, if that was the definition of four years of our life. If you went up to the average person on the street and said “Hey, I’ve got something really good for you. Wanna come to a place where you spend four or five hours a day reading and writing? Sound great doesn’t it?” How many people would spontaneously say “Wow”? “That’s exactly what I’ve been looking forward to doing for four years. How do I join?” “Oh, you don’t join, you have to pay.” “Oh, that sounds good. I pay to read and write for five or six hours a day. H-MMM that really sounds exciting”. Clearly the university was not based on a voluntary system. We weren’t there because we found it rewarding. We were there for a whole series of different reasons. But very few of those reasons came from inside ourselves. At Cornell. the reason was pretty clear why you went there. because when you got out you could say you went to Cornell. It really didn’t matter what the hell you did for four years. You were paying to say you went there. And people competed to see how they could go there with the least amount of effort. Cornell. you see. is a big fraternity school. And I remember sitting with-one of my friends in the dormi“We don’t want to join the fraternity betory saying cause fraternities limit your individuality. Fraternities cut you off from other people. Fraternities are racially selective. they’re economically selective. They’re against everything we stand for.” My friend said, “You’re absolutely right.” We walked home together arm and arm and two days later we were both in fraternities. The reasons were somewhat clear. We did have the option not to join-
at least at Cornell-again, the analogies are not quite the same here, but I’m trying to get at some basic points. There were 53 fraternities. Most guys joined fraternities, and so, you joined. You joined for a very basic reason.
Protection
from
humanity?
Joining a fraternity protected you from the job of being a person. Instead of saying “Who’s Eric Mann” and hearing “Well, I’m a lot of different things, I’m rather complicated. You’ll have to get to know me’L’, by joining I could say “Tah Delta Fi”. Now Tah Delta Fi may not mean anything to you, University of Windsor may not mean anything, I.B.M. may not mean anything, and yet when you think about it, Buick, such and such a church or such and such a street mean something-they are ways we define ourselves. They avoid the problem of being somebody. In fact, they say, “Don’t you want to know who I am”? I drive that car. Don’t you want to know who I am? I wear silk ties.. .Don’t you wnat to know who I am? I wear work shirts. You can identify yourselves in many ways. But the main point is that these labels allow people to avoid having to be somebody. And in a certain way this makes it easier, because we don’t have to worry about each other. the‘ guy with the silk Like, I know you by, “That’s shirt, and silk tie in that fraternity, or that is the girl who is the history major. Or she is going out with that guy and looks like that.” And of course, looks are very important, because we all know we are living in a society where what things look like are considered more important than what things really are. And so we see how certain things begin to be built in; about how we look at people, how we look at ourselves-.
Happiness
is an 857
O.K. I went back to second semester. I started making little charts. “Well, if I get a sninety in this, no a 95 then I can afford a 70 in this, no a ninety in this and I can affort 75 in this. That -will give me an average of 85. Boy, that sounds good. I think 1’11 get an 85 this semester. “So I would work out my projected goal. and I had the fantasy that this time things were going to be different. I’remember that my first average was 79.8. Now at Cornell, 79.8 was a very dangerous average to have because 80 was the lowest possible grade to have because that made you sort of smart. With anything below 80 you were then run of the mill. At 80 they would say, “Hey, he’s’ a pretty good student”. Now I went through a big identity crisis wondering if I should tell people that my average was really 79.8, because 79.8 was very different from 80. 80 is smart and 79.8 is “Oh, I see”. So sometimes I would say to people very bravely, “I got 79.8” and just imagine that they were looking at me very differently. or sometimes I would say “80” and then feel differently inside. ,4nd so either way I felt that 1:lost. And either way I felt that somehow a set of numbers had been developed to define who I was. So now once again I was being defined. I was now Eric Mann. Tah Delta Fi. 79.8. Now the second semester was worst than the first. In the second semester, it was warm, and somehow I couldn’t get into that 5 or 6 hours a day. Somehow I really liked the springime. I really liked to walk around. But there is a problem with that 5 or 6 hours if you like to walk around. and that is one of the most amazing things about college is that you’re never finished. There’s no such thing as leisure. In fact the week is

What I to find was that I was beginning to feel )ud of myself. thinking less and less of myself, I dishere were only two basic options. One 1 and the other was finding out ways to iore of myself. ter freshman year, because I had been my dorm my fraternity told me that it ?e house for me to run for Treasurer of er of I.F.C. is a very important position. ner actually does: well, I forget actualmber it was very important because I ‘or it.

And so, I found myself going to these parties. We all walked around with quills and daggers in our ties and went with girls who were sort of extensions of the quill and dagger.
Who’s co@ and who’s
not?
We all walked around saying “I’m cool, you’re cool, how’s it going’ “. You know? NOW about this time, I got pretty proficient at sleeping-I had it worked out pretty much to a sizebut every once in a while I would have little academfi spurts. I remember going to some professor who would say to me stuff like, “Look, you’re doing good work. You just showed up for two straight classes, why don’t you start coming more often”? “I mean like it’s not too late. You still have five weeks left in the semester. I’d really like to help you. Why don’t you do your work. I mean if you’d start doing your work, I. think you could come out with good grades. And if you pulled good grades I think you could get into a good graduate school. ” ,4nd I remember on one of those rare instances when I was talked to by a faculty person feeling fantastically exhilarated, running home-1 mean literally running -back to the fraternity, picking up a book, saying “Man, I’m really gonna do it this time”, and I would read. I’d read the first five or six pages and then read the next nine, this is really fantastic. And then about the 37th page I’d start getting sleepy again. And I couldn’t figure out what it was. You know? Well, after a couple of those starts it became clear that the same basic theme was developing that I couldn’t face.. . . I don’t like school. \
An aiiena
ted proof?
Now, I had a sociology professor, who was by some peoples’ terms, a radical, but who was a radical in a very interesting way. His course was about alienation. And the basic theme of the course was that people who work basically don’t like their work; that people in industrial society are doing jobs that are kind of meaningless. Because their jobs are meaningless, because they are ridiculous, they hate themselves and hate their work; they don’t have any sense of being a whole person. I said, “What a beautiful guy to say things like that. What a very sensitive person. He’s really great. He really understands what’s wrong with the country. He’s gonna teach me a lot.” Except for one problem. He didn’t believe that alienation extended to his course. He didn’t believe that his course was work. He couldn’t believe that for me, reading his 19 books on alienation was very alienating. As a result, he thought the rest of society was terrible except for his course. You could rebel any way you wanted against the factories because they were evil. You could rebel all you wanted about the schools because they were evil. You could rebel all you wanted about politics because it was evil. But if you rebelled against his course, you were ungrateful. So what I found out was that many radicals, or people who call themselves radicals can’t be judged radicals until you see what they do with their own lives, unless you see what they do when they have real power. Are they willing to relinquish the power? If they’re not, then they’re no different than anybody else. So not only was I unhappy, but slowly I came to feel that I wasn’t really very smart after all-that there were people in college who were better than me.
The people I respected were the people who could work 8,9,10 hours a day. There were pre-meds in my fraternity who would go off at one o’clock in the morning. We’d call them the “ Goldwyn-Smi th Boys”, because they’d go to this building called Goldwyn-Smith Building in ten below zero weather with these big clodhoppers on at one o’clock in the morning to study, after having studied all day. I mean, they were just very serious guys. Like it’s late at night and you say “Where ya’ going’ “, and they would say “I’m going to study”. And they would trudge off in the middle of the night to find this old building. 4nd I remember not just feeling that it’s o.k. for them, but feeling very much like, “Why can’t I be like them?” Why can’t I be one of the Goldwyn-Smith boys? why can’t I have their dedication? Why can’t I have that concern for knowledge? Well, I got out of college, graduated, I think as a mutual favor. They wanted me out and I wanted to be out and when it came down to some last minute credits, they gave me some government credits toward my biology12 major, we were all happy and I left. My basic conclusion about college was that it’s a pretty good place, but it just wasn’t for me. And I remember I left Cornell the day after my last final-I didn’t go to graduation ; I literally left Ithaca three minutes after I put down that pen. I shut my eyes and drove straight to New York, didn’t wanna come back, and a very funny thing happened the next year.
Good
Life
at Berkley?
The funny thing that happened the next year was a thing called “ Berkley ’ ’ . Now thousands of students at Berkley went around protesting on the issue of free speech. But besides raising the issue of free speech, they began to talk about something called the multi-versity. Wh$ they mean by multi-versity is me talking to you without knowing you, me talking through this microphone to hundreds of people, not one to one, not as a group, but as mass education, mass indoctrination. The students began to say “Maybe’‘-they didn’t say it to me but I knew they meant it. . ..“Maybe Ithaca wasn’t your fault. Maybe it’s because that place stinks. Maybe that place wasn’t built for human beings. Maybe you weren’t the only guy sleeping. Maybe you weren’t the only guy that hated that work. Maybe you weren’t the only guy who wanted to leave in his freshman year but stayed three more years because the world needs that “piece of paper” as we are so often told. Maybe we can’t change things right away but at least what Berkley did for me was for the first time say to me, “You’re a person and you count and an institution that makes you feel like shit, that is the bad institution, not you.” That changed a whole lot of my feelings, about myself and the society and I began to feel a lot of different things from there. I began to think maybe it wasn’t just the university that didn’t care about me. Maybe I could look around and see other things. For years we have been telling black people that all they had to do was get integrated into our good world because we-had the good life. But all of a sudden some of us discovered that the good life wasn’t as good as we thought it was. ln the second portion of his speech, to be published next week, Eric links alienation at university to the alienation of any working man from the MEANING that should be part of his life.

iFOaXiK Broomball sweeps nation Broomball has been sweeping the campus this term. Since the start of the season five weeks ago the Moses Springer arena has been the sight of many a hard fought match. Last week saw the Co-op Capitalists wipe out Midden 5 to 2 and Voders clean up on St. Jerry’s one to zip. Thursday night saw the Northern Lights out sweep 1969 OBC 2 to 1 and Russels and Ramjets locked in a Titanic struggle which ended deadlocked with no score. Broomball is a fast moving game played on ice with rubber soled shoes, a heavy broom and a volleyball. The normal team has 15 players with about four girls per squad. The rules are very similar to hockey with no tripping or high brooming allowed by even the most liberal females participating. Dumping of the weaker sex is highly illegal so the girls are forced to control themselves. Games are played every wednesday, and thursday night at Moses Springer. Presently Co-op and Russels are tied for top spot with four teams fighting for third.
Inframurals for everybody Bermudas was the daily attire as 150 ski buffs took to the slopes at Chicopee on friday. With the . temperature in the high 30’s and the spirits in the high 80’s the stage was set for the first annual co-ed ski day. In the giant slalom novice class, Helen Engler of village east posted a winning time of 38.3 seconds while Mike Guerreiro of phys ed was clocked at 31.25 seconds for the men. In the experienced classes, Mary Clare Hefferman of village south had the fastest ladies time with 38.85 seconds. Chris Durand of phys ed finished first in the men’s in a time of 29.2 seconds. A tremendous effort on a part of the ski club for their work in organizing and running this successful day. Finally, co-op and science entered the circle of intramural champions. Jim Sherer of Co-op defeated Pat McKinty of Math 15-1, 15-4 to capture the badminton singles championship. On the way to victory, Jim easily disposed of 4 other competitors in a field of fifty. In the doubles competition G. Clysdale and G. Wiese of Eng B outclassed P. Daigneault and M. Murray of village west to win the championship.
‘T!ALJZ!!K Bill “shark” Kerr of Science captured the billiards championship by outhustling Roman Winniki of arts four games to one. By winning, Bill can enjoy a dinner for two at the Ali Baba Steak house. The Co-ed volleyball crown was won by St. Paul’s who defeated Renison 15-7, 15-6 in the final round. With only seven championships undecided, (hockey, basketball, floor hockey, co-ed doubles badminton, relay swimming and table tennis) the fryer championship standings are : 1 Math 231 pts 2 Renison 219 pts 3 Phys Ed 214 pts 4 St. Paul’s 176 pts 5 EngB 175 pts 6 St. Jerome’s 172 pts 7 East 149 pts 8 EngA 145 pts 9 West 127 pts 10 Co-op 119 pts 11 North 112 pts 12 South 110 pts 13 Arts 81 pts 14 Science 59 pts 15 Conrad Grebel 50 pts

The grunt and groan Warriors are moving up in the mat game. Saturday they fought their way to third place in the OQAA finals held in Montreal.
Plumbers St. Paul’s
The perennial winners took it again but not by the standard wide margin. In the past Western and Guelph have been one two with the others spread out far behind. The Warriors came within 12 points of the winners. There were several outstanding performances. In the unlimited class Bob Padfield took the final bout by a pin. The other individual champion was grabbed by Jim Hall in the 123 lbs class. George Saunders picked up a second but it took Canadian Olympian Ed Millard to dump him. Thirds were picked up by Bill Hedderson Doug Houghton and Ron Taylor. Final scores for the day were Western with 74 Guelph had 71 and Waterloo wrestled 59 from their rivals. Things look <pretty good for next year. With many of this years grapplers returning, perhaps they could get a full Nelson on the opposition and bring the OQAA championship to Waterloo. That would be real neat.

dump
The plumbers did it to St. Paul this week. In the final game of the men’s intramural hockey league played Wednesday night Engineering B shut out St. Paul’s six to nothing. The best player on the ice was none other than federation president John Bergsma. John and his team of responsible hockey players provided a too viable alternattive for the church goers. St. Paul’s just could not contend with the violent confrontation tactics of Bergsma’s supporters. Every rush mustered by St. Paul’s was easily squashed by the impenetrable defence put up by John’s team mates. Bergsma’s leadership qualities were obvious to all in attendance. Both his playmaking and solo rushes showed why he was given the task of putting the university back on an even keel. It was suggested by some of those present that John might be wise to bring Ms team out to the council meetings to prevent a recurrence of the recent bail fund fiasco.

Ronnie Robinson, center iceman of the Uniwat Warriors led his team to victory and himself to an OQAA scoring championship last Wednesday evening. Robinson was by far the outstanding performer on the ice. The Warrior captain scored one goal and added four assists to give him 38 points for the OQAA season and the scoring championship, by two points over Toronto’s John Wright. linemates Kenny Robinson’s Laidlaw and “Rum” Romashyna also had a fairly productive evening. Laidlaw collected four points on two goals and two assists, while Romashyna fired three goals and added one assist. Defenceman Ian McKegney scored the other Waterloo marker. The victory gave the Warriors
takes
an 11-3-1 record, good for their third second place finish in as many seasons.
The line of Robinson, Laidlaw and Romashyna was by far the most outstanding unit on the ice. As a trio they collected 13 points amongst themselves. Robinson provides playmaking-ability, Laidlaw possesses a tremendous shot and Romashyna carries a lot of muscle up front. Coach Hayes will definitely be counting heavily on this threesome in tonight’s semi-final against Lava1 in Toronto at 6 : 30. In order to obtain victory the Warriors will need top-notch performances from the second line which consists of centerman Bobby Reade and wingers Dave Rudge and Roger Kropf.

Robertson will also be a key factor. The defence corps which is undoubtedly the finest in the league cannot afford to have a bad night. Neil Cotton, Ian McKegney, Dick Oudekerk and Paul Rappolt have been star performers all season. With Arlon Popkey in the nets the Warriors have one of the finest goaltenders in Intercollegiate hockey. He is good when he has to be as has been evidenced in his standout performances against Toronto. If Popkey plays the way he is capable of, the Warriors will capture the OQA,4 title. The Warriors have the coach, the talent and the support of the student body. With these three essential requirements it is not difficult to forecast a championship in the making.

The dribble and shoot Warriors ended their season monday in Guelph with, a 76-74 victory over the Gryphons. Although the season ended on a winning note, the overall picture wasn’t so bright. Their four and six record was only good enough for fifth place in the six team loop. The Warriors were forced to come from behind to defeat the game Gryphons. Top man for the Warriors was Jaan Laaniste with thirty-three points. Laaniste was the strongest Warrior all season. Stan Talesnick and Larry Sobol each added twelve points for the winners. Fred Promoli was top man for Guelph with nineteen points and John McGill potted thirteen. On Saturday in a non-conference tilt the Uniwat ball-handlers defeated the \ Lutheran Golden Hawks. The game was the same mediocre style of ball we’ve paid to see all season. Warriors came from behind again as usual to take a 42-34 half time lead. The outside shooting of Talesnick and Laaniste kept them in the game as the team friday,
*OM was unable to control the Hawks’ backboards. Lutheran was unable to catch up as the two teams traded baskets for most of the second half. As in most games this season, the Warriors went cold at about the ten minute mark. WUC mounted a weak rally but were still unable to take the lead. Final score was 81-72 in favour of Uniwat. The game offered little for the fans to get excited about. To add to the generally slow pace the referees put on a show of incompetence calling every little foul they thought they saw. Laaniste as usual lead the Warriors with 20 points, 13 of them in the first half. Stan Talesnick added 15 points Larry Sobol 13 and Tom Kieswetter scored ten. But where the Warriors picked up the margin of victory was in the points of Dave Crichton with 8 and rookies Gary Dyck and Dennis Wing with 6 and 7 points respectively. So the Warriors are out of it for this year but with just about everybody returning from this year’s squad, things look bright for next year. With some good luck we could have the OQAAchampions.

Poet has eastern , philosophy by Jane Schneider Chevron staff
“Every living thing is God. God is here. Peace my brother. Peace.” This was Edward English, guest speaker at the campus center great hall monday afternoon. Often called a vagabond poet, the fifty-two year old black is a selfmade individualist. He gave up his $50,000 a year painting business to do his own thing. Now he makes his living reading his poems at universities, but never attempts to publish or copyright it. Although or perhaps because, English’s writings reflect his individuality they can be appreciated
more after meeting the man himself. “Man is God,” says English. “For God equals life. And every living thing is God.” He believes that man can attain his full dignity and worth only when he realizes this. He writes of life as a struggle in which he must find “glory’s lost slipper” before she can walk again. “Then life will be beautiful.” After reading some of his work to the campus center audience, English asked for questions. One student asked him, “Can God be wrong?” English answered, “Yes. That’s how he can find out about
right. You don’t know anything about right if you’ve never done anything wrong. Ain’t no one has to tell you when you did wrong.” “Everything that happens to a man he has brought upon himself-of course he makes excuses, blaming others, but he himself is the cause.” Although his ideas resemble eastern thought, English has never studied philosophy. “I don’t read about it. I only went to the fourth grade.” “I just ‘write a-bout people. People are beautiful. ” Edward English is beautiful.

by printer’s
error
,4 last minute error at the printer last week caused the mix up ’ of two of the editorials. The correct version of the editorials is reproduced here.
Everybody It’s a great group of people who will try to stab a person in the back, but haven’t the guts to conFront him openly. But not unsurprisingly, many of 3riwat‘s own faculty . and adminstration fall into that very category. . They would love to stab Bill Lobsari in the back using the Chevron xs their knife. Ever since Lobban left his deFences down by threatening to sue the Chevron for libel over an issue that not only wasn’t libelous but, was true (his constant interfersnce with the security departmerit), Chevron editors and reportzrs have been beseiged by administrators and faculty (especially senior faculty) with tales about Bill Lobban they think we should print. They will even go so far as to suggest tactics and strategies for getting rid of Lobban. Naturally, th,ough, they never want their names associated with the articles when printed. If any of these highly-motivated
vs. Lobban men really cared about inefficiency and waste, they could long ago have brought their complaints to the committees to which they are so fond of referring student complaints. But that would be breaking the unwritten code, honor among thieves, and all that. For in reality they are all usually almost as bad as Lobban and similarly dedicated to the construction of their own little empires, In fact, their biggest reason for wanting to see Lobban shot at is to enable them to grab some of the tremendous share of the pie PP andP now controls. Unfortunately it is true that the operation of PPandP is indeed hindering the students’ academic priorities on campus and will eventually have to be exposed and cleaned up. ’ But it is similarly true that the other personal empires that impede responsible operation on campus will also have to be destroyed.
But with good reason Bill Lobban has apparently decided not to proceed with his libel suit against the Chevron. His reasons are quite obvious. Not only does he know there is every likelihood the Chevron could prove its claim that he interferes in the operation of the security department, but he also is afraid to have PPandP’s files opened in court and its reporting procedures questioned publicly. For Al Romenco is not the only person reporting to operations vicepresident Al Adlington who has complained about Lobban’s Constant interference. In fact the most cursory investigation of the operations function in the university immediately raises the question-who is in control, Lobban or Adlington? Lobban is a hard-driving empire builder who, for reasons that seem no more complicated than simple aggrandizement of power, wants to control the entire nonacademic area of the administration. And Adlington is almost exactly like his self-portrait in FASS-a bumbling, dirty but somewhat cute and funny old man.
Left alone, Adlington could probably make it through, but he is quick to follow any kind of leadership. It seems clear Lobban is playing leader. Acting president Boward Petch has so many bureaucratic problems to solve it seems doubtful he will ever get around to this *one unless pushed. But he must be pushed, for the Lobban-Adlington group is the place where all the monies that should be spent on books and professors is really going. The gray suit functionaries will also be more willing to pay money for gadgets like garbage-removal trucks that show paper savings over a twenty-year life than on library books that show no fiscal return whatsoever. Maybethe answer lies in placing a professor or student at the head of all departments as a sort of minister with the present heads acting as deputy ministers. Whatever is finally done, though, PPandP would be a good place to start the change. It needs it most. And the sooner, the better. friday,

He had a purpose-a purpose to make men like God. It was to awaken the God that sleeps within these men and women who, anxiously consuming all their energies in accummulating the externals of life, destroy themselves. And by lifting their thought, feeling, and aspiration from .the pursuit of vain cares, Jesus gave to plain matter-offact men a vision of reality which would become for them a permanent factor of experience and an inspiration for a new life. He spoke simply and clearly in a powerful voice which carried to the very edge of the huge crowds that flocked to hear him. He made word pictures which stayed in his listeners’ minds, to be thought out and puzzled over later. He drew his pictures from the everyday lives of ordinary people, and spoke in terms that people could grasp, and sense the meaning of, things they lived and worked with. And, using lessons from the old, Jesus taught them about the new life. He was an intensely practical man who had followed a skilled craft from youth. He knew the worker’s point of view, yet he, more than anyone, expected a good day’s work for a good day’s pay, and thought of service in terms of the maximum, not the minimum. ‘If a man demands you carry for him one mile, make it two! ’ He lifted up his voice and the crowds heard and listened. Most of them loved what he had to say, but some hated it because it showed up their hypocrisy, hatreds, meanmindedness. But loving it or hating it, they all listened. Nobody ignored Jesus. There was an attraction in him which drew people of all ages. It made men put down tools and follow him. They gave up worthwhile jobs, the small fishing fleet, the profitable ‘graft’ of the tax-collector. They ‘left all’ and followed him. Sheer madness! But it wasn’t onlv the attraction of his personality that drew them. You don’t throw away a fleet of fishing boats because someone is charming to you. Along with charm was a compelling power, . and men answered to the power because they caught a glimpse of what their lives could be. To live with abandon, to make the life brilliantly clear-of having no concern of living, of loving beyond all boundaries, of losing their lives-that men might understand their king. So we followers must do-extravagantly, passionately, joyfully-that men may know what our king meant-and follow. The exuberating liberty in God’s king is to dare more, try more, hope more, give more, endure more. It is not a call to a protected life, but to a life of complete unconcern. It is a freedom to use one’s will to the utmost, with nothing to weaken one’s resolve-even death. For Jesus made it staggeringly clear that the way into the new life was through death, and it would lead to death.

buck page, it WOUICI offend parents I have never been so disappointed in the Chevron as I was with the february 14 issue. The back page was so out of taste that my immediate reaction was to rip it off and discard it. I would have been so offended if I had taken that issue home‘to my parents. I would have been insulted to have them- think that university students would print such off-color articles. Your low key humor and little respect of religion and faiths were demonstrated quite firmly. These are not the things I enjoy reading. I shall only remember the Chevron with contempt and distaste. x HELEN McELHONE math 1 wants

The reaction to poster: the reaction to Christ? The undersigned, associated with the Waterloo Student Christian Movement (SCM), would like to express our concern about the reaction of certain “Christians” on our campus to the back page of your february 14 issue. This poster was an accurate representation of people’s attitudes toward him and we feel it would probably be an equally-valid portrayal of society’s reaction to a second coming. If some people were offended by the-back page, then probably these would be the very people offended by Christ. We see him as attempting to bring about a radical change in life style and we feel that people have continually failed to recognize this meaning of christianity. IWAO MACHIDA ELEANOR PEAVOY MARG DYMENT BETTY BURCHER LOIS MASTELLONE BILL AIRD BERNADINE ROSLIN LARRY CAESAR D. M. LOCKHEAD DON NASH JOE BROWN For seeking social change, Jesus -enemy of the state Concerning. “Reward for Information Leading to the Apprehension of: JESUS CHRIST”. It is reported that he is alive and well not only in Brazil but here on the campus of Uniwat. This report is made by a number of individuals including myself ,-who have met him at various times and ’
22
places. His amazing ability to be in Brazil and Uniwat at the same time could be attributed to the claim of creating the universe. He is undoubtedly an enemy of the state because “of his radical tendencies. He seeks such radical goals as social change, concern for the individual and peace (not only in Vietnam and Biafra but within the individual). He has a small group of dedicated followers (calling themselves Christians after him ) , who openly admit they support his radical tendencies, some of whom would even die for the cause. This is no sweat however, because he died for the cause himself once and promises revitalization. There is another group who also claim to be his followers (using the same name) and who are often intermingled with his true followers. Unfortunately, for his cause they seem to be under the guidance of another individual who is also interested in the fate of the world. They will often give false information as to his whereabouts and purposes. Often too they give him a bad name by claiming to support his radical tendencies and then doing everythmg possible to maintain the status-quo and even worse. Beware of their false information because they are a powerful group and could introduce the wrong individual to you. I hope you can find this fellow Jesus Christ and if he’s still “illnourished” give him a meal because it’s what he would do. TOM HORSLEY math 1 ttApprehension

buck page in poor taste Re: Your “wanted poster” on the back cover of the Chevron of february 14 about “Apprehension of Jesus Christ” etc, etc.. . . Since when does a supposedly intelligent, tolerant and well-educated student make fun of another’s religion? Your feeble attempt at “humor” was not only in extremely poor taste, but I fear it was also a disgrace to the newspaper profession. Is this what is called a masterpiece of unbiased journalistic reporting on the part of one of your “theologians “? I trust that even a non-Christian would consider this as bigoted trash. A. ZYLSTRA _ mech eng 4B B. JONKMAN mech eng 4B Sunday hyprocrites angry, they should read bibles ‘4s expected, the sunday hypocrites responded with indignation to the back page of february 14, Chevron. I admire Mary Bowman’s courage-I trust she does not expect any promotions in the forseeable future. I fail to see how one can read more than a single chapter of the new testament and not know that the information printed on the “offending” poster is entirely accurate in its description of Christ’s activities. Christ may not have been a hippy. But he was, and still is for those who follow him, a critic of the status-quo. One need only read the newspapers to find out how the status-quo deals with dissenting elements. The library and the church colleges all have bibles. Perhaps the “Christians” should read a few pages.

can attack, very good
On the front page of the Chevron there appeared a vicious attack on prof Galloway of the English department. The attack was craftily disguised as part of a classroom discussion. However, it constituted such a fundamental distortion of the facts that it cannot be construed as other than premeditated slander. The article implies that Galloway is slack, authoritarian and uninteresting. Let me state categorically that all three of these charges are unfounded. The studies of Elizabethan literature are practically innumerable. To read, evaluate, digest, capsulize these numerous and constantly appearing studies as Galloway does is not an indication of a slack mind, nor of a slack professor. The tangible fruits of his labor are the compact, well prepared lecture notes from which he teaches his class. “Thomas Edwards” complains that he has not marked a test. He also makes it clear that he considers the test meaningless. Poor Edwards misses the point. To give a test is not meaningless. Students want tests, as Galloway showed by taking a vote. They feel the need for tests which encourage them to read the material. Galloway, as a professor. should be and is willing to accommodate them. It would seem, however. that Edwards has some personal need to be evaluated by an authority figure. Galloway is a professor, nota mother. He cannot be called to task for failing to hold his student’s frail little hand. Edwards also sees his professor as authoritarian. This is not surprising. We have already seen that he is unable to come to terms with himself. It is perfectly natural that he should supply himself with an authority figure. What is disturbing is that he seems to be so firmly in the grip of his adolescent syndrome that it affects his auditor sensibility, or at least his memory. Perhaps if he concentrates he will be able to remember that what he represented as an infliction of personal will upon a defenceless multitude was, in reality, a banter. The discussion was peppered with hearty and genuine laughter. What Edwards portrayed as a policy speech by an agent of the “combine” (Mr. Charlie) was actually a telling, satirical comment on the system. I don’t really like to imply that Edwards is seriously neurotic, that he hallucinates, or that he has severe memory blocks. Perhaps another reason for his mistaken interpretation of the events can be found in the third implication. that Prof Galloway is “uninteresting”. It seems strange to me that anyone could imply that of a person who comes across, even in biased and tainted Edwards’ witty and article, as subtle, quick-minded. I am led to suspect that Edwards is perhaps insensible to subtlety and wit. This would help to explain his misinterpretation of the proceedings. If this is the case, then it is truly a shame that he enrolled in course without a Shakespeare having any background in literary criticism. Perhaps if he were
able to recognize literary form, such as satire, a class in literature given by such a literary man would be less frustrating. In any case, Edwards, don’t be so uptight. I suggest that in your condition, you shouldn’t be trying to 8change the world. Change your mind instead. It’s going to be alright. I began by saying the article constituted an attack. It does. Not by Edwards though. The attack was made by the editors of this newspaper who not only printed the article without verifying its contents (and they should have, damaging as it was) but who printed it with a large head, framed and on the front page. This constitutes, at best, flagrant irresponsibility, and at worst real sickness in the minds of the editors involved. They deserve much less than any insult I could include in this letter. Such petty, irresponsible behavior deserves an appropriate resonse. A punch in their very wet corporate nose. RICHARD ROMAIN English 3 We

be misinterpreted “The bond system is unjust“so voted council. Why in order to point this out to the “unaware, misinformed public”, did council and the audience at the council choose a ‘group of destructive malicious students? Did it want to bury their “brilliant discovery” behind an already inflamed public resentment so it wouldn’t be recognized and cause further distrust of students instead? If they really believe that something should be done to obtain equality for suspected lawbreakers why not choose a case which supports their point and where the point will be clearly seen; one that would encourage public support and aid in improvements, rather than enrage the public and bring scorn on an idea. Who of those who can change the system will believe that the real cause of our voting $10,000 for bail money is to point out injustice in the bail system? Rather it will be taken as support for the destroyers, students and non-students, of Sir George Williams University even when the clause referring to not condoning their actions was passed with the motion.

I wish to protest bitterly the early demise of the coke machine in the campus center. NO doubt it must have worried some people in high places. After all the machine always worked. The Coke was alalways cold, the machine ways gave change and the machine was never empty. TO top it all off there must have been something really evil about a machine that wouldn’t just take your money without giving you anything. friday,
However, our good old system with its friendly rules of competition triumphed again. The red evil was purged and two triumphant blue ones have taken its place. Drop a shiny new quarter into either one of these two miracles of science and chances are if YOU have my luck you will get a nice lukewarm drink and of course no change.

and Maudies good, should be praised
_
I feel it is time I once again took pen in hands and exercised my franchise. The feature on the Boy Scouts regime was certainly the highlight of the Chevron’s otherwise droll year. I am sure no one can fully appreciate the risk and peril those two fearless journalists of merit have taken upon themselves in this endeavour. Another one of your new. and most popular regulars, is the delightful satire and humours of Maudie. I have learned from Chevron staffers that Indeed actually is written by a wee old lady who lives on Young Street, in Waterloo. It appears she is retired and writes the column in her spare time. I think that the student body should at least be informed that not all the people in the city consider us a bunch of useless, upstart radicals. Keep up the good work. JAQUES O’BRIEN law 4 Students bail and
should treated
be denied as adults
I would like at this time to register a very strong complaint about the Federation of Students on this campus. Any so-called responsible body that would vote to give $10,000 in bail to the jailed student at Sir George Williams University, ought to take serious stock of itself. This money comes from the pockets of the student body and such a decision should be left to the students by means of a referendum. Those Montreal students are nothing more than a bunch of irresponsible, inconsiderate children. If they want to be adults, they ought to be treated the same and put in jail without bail until they come to trial. There is no provocation which would justify their disgusting behaviour and in the light of this they should be punished to the limit of the law, They ought to be banned from attending university anywhere in Canada. This sum of $10,000 would be better given to Sir George Williams University to help replace the damaged equipment. Such a donation would be a strong indication that the majority of students are interested in getting an education and not just creating a lot of unrest. The students at Sir George are, by and large, interested in education and the very small minority is what gives students a bad name. ‘4gain I emphasize that giving this bail money is without doubt the most ridiculous thing the federation has ever voted to do. Everything possible should be done to nullify this motion and ensure the money stays on campus or is put to some “constructive’,’ 1 use elsewhere. W. MURRAY JONES civil 4B The

What is it that the students who are in revolt against the establishc order want? I have asked students and the answers are so diverse that at first sight they do not seem to make a pattern. There is the desire for more autonomy, there is the wish that our world were more just, there is the demand that the university speak to the issues of the times.
12,
The trouble with much that is sought by the students is that it cannot be programmatically dealt with, and that the global issues they perceive are frequently cloaked by rhetoric. Nevertheless I see behind the rhetoric meaning and behind the global issues some particulars that concern me as university teacher. The pursuit of truth is not infrequently hampered by professional jealousies, and the free movement of intelligence is not uncommonly constrained by vested interests, whether they be located in the groups that control university departments and faculties. professional , organizations, or learned journals: Undergraduates and graduate students suffer from an abject dependency on the monarchy of instructors whose criteria of judgement and evaluation are more often shrouded in mystery than they are accessible to the insight of the governed. These discrepancies between ends and means are not invisible to students and they add, I think, to their disenchantment with the world of learning. Other issues link the university to the world around it.

We may protest that we pay our share of the welfare bill. that we are involved in civic programmes, that we belong to political parties whose aim it is to make for greater social justice. But the students, at least some rather vocal ones, see us niore interested in our own welfare. They see the energetic actions of our faculty associations that utilize / all available -avenues to better our economic lot, and they hear our eloquent silences on many of the problems that beset contemporary societies and men: the threat of nuclear war, the impoverishment of Indians, Metis, Eskimos, and Negroes; the misery of people in urban and rural slums. The students ask embarrassing questions about research grants, installations, and emoluments that they believe derive from and serve primarily the military-industrial complex. We may think that they are mistaken as far as the Canadian universities are concerned; there can be little question that they are often right when they speak to the condition of universities in the United States. Right or wrong, the vocal students see the university and many of their instructors in a self-interested collusion with the power elites within the vertical mosaic of our countries. At this university we are now in a position to speak our piece, not only in direct confrontations with students in and out of the classroom but institutionally, through the establishment of the newly voted Division of Environmental Studies.
Now we can see if we can make of our world of learning a link between the idea and the deed, between dreams and reality. At last we have fashioned at least the rudimentary machinery for relating ourselves as creative men and women to the needs of the society that sustains us. For the first time we have sought to pool our skills, our knowledge, our diverse trainings, and our different understandings with the intention that they come to serve the public interest. Perhaps I am wrong in suspecting that the student-critics remain skeptical. They have too long seen us guarding our own flesh pots to be readily convinced of our new intentions by the appearance of a programme on paper. They know, as indeed weaknow, that such research as is to be undertaken, and such actions as are to be initiated in the new Division of Environmer$al Studies will have to be financed by the people who represent the Establishment. They will want to know before long what we intend to do about the sore spots in Canadian society, how the new machinery is to be made to work to advance not its own prestige but the wellbeing of people. For the rest of the university the coming of the new Division will, one hopes, act as a stimulus to renewal. The first requirement for such renewal is honesty with ourselves and candidness with our students. As an example of what I mean let me quote briefly from an article by Louis Joughin, “The Present Responsibility of Free Teachers,” A.A.U.P. Bulletin (Amer. Assoc. of University Professors), Summer ‘61. “All informed persons know that the continuation of human life and human society, in anything like its present form, is now a matter of ominous

But, until today, the really big massacres have been witnessed only by the participants themselves, whether ‘victims’ or ‘executioners’. So it has been only as history that we have learned of the extirpation of Carthage, of the ravages of Attila, of the slaughters of the Huguenots and of the Red Indians. It has even been history, if uncomfortably recent history. when we have found out about the extermination of the Jews of Europe and of the kulaks of Russia. r Today, however, we are ‘privileged’ to hear, and even to see at a distance, minute-by-agonizing minute of the real thing: the genocide of whole peoples-millions of men, women, children-skilfully carried out with the latest weapons, and skilfully excused with the latest sophistications. Many witness in silent frustration, and the words of those who do cry out go unheard. This is powerlessness at its most ultimate. A lot of us have recent% woken up to realise that We have very_ little power over the important things that control or threaten Our own lives: we can do little or nothing about ‘the bomb’, about the degraded environment. about the squandering of resources our descendants will need. But the powerlessness that revolves around the question of group guilt, of group responsibility, is even more oppressive. At least most Germans. of whom one might ask. Why did you let Hitler exterminate the Jews?‘. can honestly answer that they did not know. or did not believe that it could possibly be happening. Today we do know: it is not a question of belief-: we do know it is happening. Yet most of the time we are so numbed by the horror. and by our own inability to do anything about it. that we continue our everyday lives. and try to think about other things.

For Biafra represents a crisis in ideology, a crisis in our understanding of what we mean by freedom Land independence. It is a crisis that takes us into the mystical area of trying to define a nation-not a new kind of crisis, but one that nearly always has had to be resolved in blood. Since the Middle Ages, wars have been fought to decide which parts of Britain should belong to France, and vice-versa, and which parts should belong to neither. Indeed, these struggles continue today, as several small submerged European nations again seek independence. And the crisis of nationality has now spread to Africa and Asia, where the people were so recently trampled on by colonialists. Nigeria has followed the Congo into this stage, and more such break-ups seem certain. Are we to continue to have to witness them as spectators-or worse as speculatorsor at the very best as those who go to the aid of the few survivors? Is there nothing constructive we can do to solve or prevent these conflicts? I think there will take some have to do is to imperative that about Who is to

It is essential that we get wide agreement on this Principle of independence, and that we discard a lot of muddled thinking. Of course, such a principle of independence has an honourable history. It once gave birth to the United States of America and has led to many new nations since. But its negation, all confused with the issue of slavery, was also established in the United States, where such a bloody war (by the standards of the time) was fought for ‘unity’, and against the right to secede. Yet really it is the right to Peaceful secession that we have to establish and uphold. For there can be no proper unity that is not agreed to by all parties, and the ‘unity’ that is imposed by force is really conquest. We are all against conquest and empires now, but we cannot yet agree about the RIGHT of independence, the right of peaceful secession. * * * The Biafran issue is muddled by a complex background of unifying, federating, re-arranging, and so forth, all accompanied by tribal rivalries, bloodshed, and calls for vengeance. But the issue now is again quite simple: Biafra wants to be independent.
Most of us have been sickened, if not bamboozled by the propaganda: by the talk of Biafran oil, and by the sordid political and economic forces supporting each side. But the economic issues are secondary; there is oil also in other parts of Nigeria, and separate smaller nations would be quite viable. The key question is who is to be in control of which area, and in whose interest. Control must go to those living in each area. and extend as far as the current feelings of unity will allow, and no further. The Biafrans will not now give up. They have shown how they feel all too clearly by withdrawing with Ojukwu into the heartland of their country.
They have proclaimed that they will all perish rather than surrender, and we must surely believe them. So, if we have any compassion, we must somehow stop the war, and because of the recalcitrant determination (and the fears that cannot be dissipated) of the Biafrans. the war can only be stopped by international pressure on the Federal side. The international community must call for a free plebiscite. internationally supervised, to verify that the people of Biafra want to secede. If they do, the boundaries of their new nation will be negotiable: the principle of independence is not. If we are to help about Biafra, and about similar disputes in the future, we must make up our minds about this principle of independence. For without such a guideline, no settlement but that of the sword can take place. If we could agree on this principle. we could demand that the Federal forces halt their attack and lift their siege while a plebiscite is held. We could demand that Britain and ,Russia cease supplying arms. And we could expose the Federal government’s request that we ‘leave them alone while they kill’ for the genocidal conspiracy that it is. The Federal government claims the right to kill by bullets and deprivation because of a concept of ‘independence under law’, which prevents those outside a nation-state from interfering with events inside, however horrible. This is a false and fatal distortion of the meaning of independence, but it is a distortion we ourselves have often supported in the past. It has brought dreadful suffering, and has allowed the most dreadful crimes to go unpunished. Only when we devise a better concept of independence as a free choice forever open to any group of people, and one that will have the support of the whole community of nations, only then will we be able to build a more just, and hence a more peaceful world. Only then will we be freed from the horror of watching genocide from the sidelines-those of us who are spared from actually taking part.

Two questions
of history as the debate over supporting the Sir George bail fund rages, for two questions in particular arise. First, why were the engineering students treated so lightly if property damage tends to enrage the public the way it did at Sir George?
,4 few years ago the 1_Jof T engineers’ Lady Godiva band and a group of associates disrupted the entire Toronto subway system by. fooling with the wiring. Cost to the taxpayers was very high with estimates running up to a quarter of a million dollars. The city of Toronto turned over disciplinary action to the university and eventually the engineering society was fined $1000. ,411 students at Uniwat would do well to remember this piece ___.

Sir George: Guilty until proven innocent
-But
still no leadership
Federation president John Bergsma seems to emulate a rainbow -he comes out when the storm’s over. On at least three significant occasions since his election, Bergsma has abstained on motions his student council has passed and then he has taken a stand on the matter the next day. On membership in the Canadian Union of Students he refused to take a stand until the referendum was over-and then lamented the loss. On the council motion supporting the joint arts-EMS library committee request for ten percent of the university’s operating budget Bergsma again abstainedand since then has expressed opinions favoring the increase in library funds. On the council proposal to post up to $10,000 bail for the arrested Sir George Williams University students, he abstained again-and the next day told the K-W Record he disagreed with council’s stand
and, as well, he signed a petition condemning council’s action. . ,4nd even then, he’s been indecisive: he lamented the CUS loss but hasn’t asked for a new referendum, and action on the library has been so cowardly that he refrained from putting it on council’s agenda again even though some councillors had asked him to. And while the controversy over the decision on lending bail to the arrested Sir George students rages about him, Bergsma has still managed to leave the office around five o’clock each day. Bergsma ran on a platform of responsible action-*only he hasn’t been responsible for any of the actions of his council and only seems to be concerned with preserving his rainbow. The pot of gold at the end must be a high-paying, prestigious job in the status-&o economy-or why else would he wait till the nex’t morning every time to see which direction the status-quo preferred?
