A major
dispute surfaced at
stormy convention of the
a
Ontario Federation of Students (O.F.S.) at McMaster University last weekend. One of the first topics on the agenda of the four-day conference was the controversial issue of payment of the O.F.S.

loading listeners with too by Colin Hunt If you find that you are enrolled in a program being phased out or relocated you will find that you’re not alone. The Ontario
government-sponsored program of post-secondary education cutbacks disguised under fancy labels such as “Rationalization” are eating their way into the quality of education on this province with every passing day. The lack of response on the part of college students to encroachments on their education is perhaps understandable; no one is in college long enough to learn about all the ills plaguing the system. The responsibility for the impotence of student response to cutbacks lies primarily with the manner in which your student government conducts its business and voices issues of general concern. While the current DSA administration under President Randy Hutchings has done, and is continuing to do, a thorough job in improving the finances of student activities its record on the subject of student political concerns is less than enviable.
Despite the fact that four major programs have been cancelled in the past two years, Air/Water Resources, Photography, Electrical Technician and Resources Technology, the DSA has not uttered a whisper of protest. It has not even ventured to make any form of public statement. It may be felt by the student population that the college administration is looking out for our interests. That is no more true than the view that government bureaucrats are looking out for the interests of the taxpayers. In every college and university around the province there are administrators who can be heard to remark in an unguarded moment that the institution would be a great place to work if there were not any obnoxious, problem-causing students around as well.
There is only one organization that is genuinely on the side of the students, the Ontario Federation of Students. The O.F.S. is a political research and pressure group run and sponsored
by students. Dredging up all the sludge of rumor about the O.F.S. one finds that many mistaken notions about it are still prevalent. The DSA has adopted
solely
the servile attitude that O.F.S. membership means that their comfortable “open-door” relations with the college administration would disappear and a new era of confrontation politics would begin. In the first place, to adopt such a
narrow view
is to stereotype administrators into unthinking reactionaries incapable of change or^ new views. Further, the primary direction of the O.F.S. has always been toward the provincial government. They are only too aware of the fact that the real source of problems is government financing, not the local colleges forced to be responsible for living in a fiscal straight-jacket. Finally, the interests of the O.F.S. are not narrow or sectarian. They are developing a broad base of agreement with related groups such as OCUFA, the Ontario association of university
faculty.

Anatomy of Freedom Morgan analyzes feminism as a vision of freedom indispensable to the survival of human life. Her themes are dreams, the
unconscious, sexual passion and relationships, global technology, childhood and aging. Using the hologram as her analogy for feminism, she re-defines and reveals these as interconnected parts of an organic process, freedom itself. Her style combines fable, dramatic format and personal journalism, and her use of the hologram as metaphor is particularly brilliant, since, as she points out, this device is likely to become an important teaching tool of the future. We cannot understand the

make the hologram, and its organic wholeness is revealed. So it is when we examine Morgan’s the'mes - all related parts of the feminist vision and process.
Illustrating how relativity theory has changed our view of the universe, Morgan chooses the changing laws of quantum physics as a model for freedom and the future of the feminist movement as an evolutionary force transforming the lives of both men and women. Author of three books of poetry and editor of the anthology Sisterhood is Powerful, Morgan writes in a deeply personal style, breaking through the narrow vision of personal pain to a larger view of global consciousness. The Anatomy of Freedom is a hopeful book for those who, like its author, believe in the vitality of the feminist move-
ment.

Bartering, a If you have run out of money and have no way to turn, don’t fret. Constance Stapleton of New York resurrected bartering as an alternative and found out that not only can it be
profitable but fun too. Stapleton got into the bartering plans when her car, which had accumulated 370,000 kilo-
way
metres over the years, was in dire need of repairs. She had no money to pay for any of these repairs. She explained to the mechanic that she had no money to offer him but was willing to barter any service she could possibly do for him if he would make the repairs.

This barter system seemed like a pretty good idea to Stapleton. She immediately began to devise other ways in which to use her plan.
Her garden was
flourishing
with large, delicious vegetables. After storing as much as possible in her freezer, she began trading off the surplus for homemade sausage, wine,
and
pots.
Besides trading goods she could barter time, talent, space, service, information and favors. “If you have ever carpooled, traded baby-sitting, swapped favors or services, you have already started,” she explains. Here are some tips that Stapleton offers to get you started: assests. Make of everything that can be traded. An empty garage can be traded to a band for money or free tickets to their concert, for instance. A spare room can be traded to a student for housekeeping, money or food. Find your barter partner.

She visited the place a few times before figuring out what the owner needed. For such a classy shop, the owner had very ordinary pri6e tags. She designed price tags shaped like a “Bird in Hand” (which was the name of the shop). After 200 more tags, the rocker was

Let some trades lead tfl others. A teenager once sold litter of 13 puppies for $10 each. With the $130 he bought a horse, which in turn he traded for an old go-cart and $200. Pass it on. The more people you have to barter with the better. Starting right in your own home is always easiest. Stapleton’s son, who attended college, became manager of an apartment building in exchange for a free two-bedroom apartment. He then traded the

gram. There are two posters on the office wall that tell the story.
One reads,
“I get by with a help from my friends.” The other reads, “Today was one helluva week.” “It’s a busy office and we have had an extremely active year,” said Sandra Schott, co-ordinator of the Peer Tutoring program. Ninety-five per cent of the students tutored raised their grades from failing to passing and quite a few have achieved an A, said Sandra. “It’s the one-on-one that accounts for the program’s success. A lot of the time the student is missing a few important facts and one student to another can clarify the problem,” she said. Sandra has recently introduced a tutor training program to give the tutors better idea of their role. “Tutoring,” she explained, “is helping someone but not doing the work. The tutor helps to the degree that he imparts and explains knowledge in a way the student can little
understand. It is not carrying the person’s load.”
During the training course, communications skills are discussed and role playingns used
