Waterloo Lutheran students w nored their student council wednesday and went on strike. Students boycotted classes wednesday to protest the dismissa.I of two radical teachers. They ga.t% ered in Lutheran% main atis iuyer to demand explanations for the dismissals of polisci pti Dr, George Haggar and psychology Ie+ turer Gray Taylor. the e istration refused to attend. The Cord Weekly, Luther&s student paper, felt that reasons given for the firings were ins@flcient and called the strike, Student council did not support it, Some four to five hundred concerned students came to hearHag= gar, Taylor, student reps andhope fully administration officials. C larification was what they ww ted but at no time did the administration formally acknowledge the meeting. Cord editor Linda McKenzie chaired the meeting. She Ied sff by explaining the issue and intffoduced a representative of thep&sci students. Cliff Shannon poli sci 3 read a petition that had previous& been presented to Dr. Frank Peters academic vicepresident. The p titian, signed by most of Lutheran’s political science students, expressed their concern overtheap parent lack of academic freedom, Shannon said he and several other students would not be returning to WLU unless the issue was resolved.

and asserted his right to be formally told of the real reasons for his dismis Sal. A letter from university president Henry Endress said Haggar was “obviously unhappy...and un. sympathetic to the purposes and operations” of WLU. Gray Taylor then told how he had been dismissed, not because of his teaching ability, but rather on a charge of I4 unprofessional conduct.” He cited two possible incidents which might have led to this charge. One was a run-in over parking regulations and the other involved the library. Dr. Guna Subins, an assistant professor of geography, took the floor, criticized Haggar and supported the administration. He suggested that there were perhaps more reasons than those publicly stated for Haggar’s dismissal. Student vicepresident Rob Brown gave council’s position. He explained that they had withdrawn support of Haggar andTaylor Monday night, preferring to wait until the Canadian Association of University Teachers had completed its The council held a investigation. secret meeting. Mark Hopkins, who had resigned from council over the withdrawal of support came forwardwith a resolution appealing for academic freedom and strongly supported the position of Haggar and Taylor. After listening to speakers for two hours, the dissatisfied crowd dispersed knowing little more than they had before the demonstration.

“There is at the present time no such thing as a student #right9 to representation in the university government,pp according to a study paper prepared for the Committee of Presidents of Universities of Ontario, The 210page report will be re leased on Monday. The Committee of Presidents is meeting today, Dr. Ted Batke, U of W*s development vicepresident, was a mem__._..__.~~~~.....~..~....Page 19 Camels and committees _.______.---.-.-.....-..--ber of the subcommittee that prepared the report. The report rejects the assumption that the *‘community of scholars will perform its functions better if it is organized along political lined9 The paper is not a declaration of policy but rather “seeks to place the matter of student ino volvement in the context of the universities basic goals.p9 The report makes two basic assumptions, “that there is room for improvement in university govern? merit, and that the approach to improvement must be through civilized discussion and the exercise of rational judgement.” It rejects politicalpressure tactics based simply on thenumber of supporters. “The only legitimate power within the community of scholars is the power of the intellect.$$ Making the whole university a democracy-based on the adversary principle-would yield nothing more than a sham democracy, according to the report. The report points out distinc-
renaissance
tions between consulting and involving students in the decisionmaking process. It advocates stum dent participation on departmental and faculty committees, where they have direct interests. The report questions whether student representation on the board of governors would improve auniversity’s primary functions. But student involvement would lead to a better understanding of the mone tary workings of the university. According to the study the functions of a university include serving the needs of society, facilitating individual student8 personal development, increasing industrial productivity, training members of the learned professions, improving physical conditions of mankind and exploring the fundamentalvalues of contemporary human exist+ ance. But the report states that the primary purpose of theuniversity is “the preservation, trans. mission, and increase of knowledge.” The committee then evaluates objections from various sources about student involvement at the summit of university government: ‘. Student leadership changes too often. But some students admit that their contribution will be qualitatively different. Students don’t have enough The study quotes Dr. Robin tike. Harris of Queen’s University that it would take 10 hours a weekeven for a person familiar with the university-to become a competent university governor. The study says, “It would not advance the primary objectives of the university to have either junior or senior scholars deflected ser-
iously from scholarship by excessive work on administrative bodies .$$ Top-level decisions demand delicacy and confidentiality. The report agrees with a YorkUniversity student brief that studentparticipants are not only the repre sentatives of the students but of the whole university just like any other rep. “openness as an absolute principle could lead to abuses just as unsavory as those associated with secrecy.$$ An agreement would have to be made about confidences before students are seated. ‘{The increasingly wellor&nized national and provincial student movements are geared for political action and hungry for power. Local student leaders become indoctrinated with ideas of student solidarity and are instructed in devious methods of attaining group objectives which do not promote the individual university’s welfare and may indeed be inimical to it,$* But it reassures its readers with ‘Student letiers by and large are intelligent, independent and honorable, and it is difficult to believe that many of them could be easily indoctrinated.pp The report concludes: “The important thing is to reach an honest understanding of the differing attitudes, and try, together, with mutual respect, to improve the university and its contribution to the society of which it is a part. Working alone the students might produce a revolution. Working together the university could effect a renaissance.p’

Any man who seeks the presidency of the Federation of Students is faced with many challenges. The most crucial of these is the quality of education program, There is a need for much more thinking and questioning at this university about the way we are being educated, I propose a major teach-in on education next year comparable to the International Teach-in at the University of Toronto. There is a growing feeling today that students are full members of the university corn munity e Only with full student participation in the government of the community can the university realize its goal of developing fee, creative, thinking and acting human beings.

We need more books, longer hours and more study space. Good libraries are a mainstay of the university and students must be prepared to take every measure to ensure that we have them. Better communication between student council and the student body is essential. Efforts such as this year’s %-a~elling-circus” council meetings shall continue. To supplement coverage by the Chevron, more council newsletters will be necessary and the feasibility of a 50wait AM radio station willbe investigated.

The student body of this university being sold down the road to tokenism
All residence fees are rising next year with the Village increase being the largest. The cost of a single room at the Village will be $960. In a memorandum distributed to Villagers this week warden Ron Eydt explained the reasons behind this hefty increase. First, the fees this year were too low and there will be a deficit of $48,000. This is due to a poor prediction on the cost of operating the Village as an entity of 26 houses. The business office now says that the fees this year should have been $880 for a single rather than $850, Dr. Eydt went on to say that in budget discussions last year apro, posed fee structure was arrivedat by planning on a five percent increase in saIaxies and food. This leads to a figure of $920 for a sin= gle room next year. At this time senior university officials pointed out the Village was supposed to be self-sufficient but yet it was not being charged for heat, light and water. This item would add $80 a year t0 residence fees. The ancillary services committee agreed that the Village should pay for its heat and power but de tided to implement this over two years, Thus the fees this year will be $960, $940, and $920 for a single, interconnecting, or double room.
There will be an automatic increase of $40 in the following year. Dr. Eydt pointed out that fees at Western will be $1000 and $1050. at Windsor. At the church colleges, fees are going up but are still generally lower than at the Village. St. Jerome% fees are going up $75 to $835 for a double and $I95 for a single. The situation is similar at Conrad Grebel where fees are rising to $835 for a double. At Renison, however, the fees will be $900 for a double and $975 for a single, These various fee structures were presented to a meeting ofthe board of governors last night for ~pr0va.l.

abdication. Student leaders picture themselves in the role of politicos, of men who work quietly within the system to effect change. But that change has not been forthcoming. Instead they have become a part of the system and have accepted a stilted view of student participation in running this university. The adrninistr&ion allows few students membership on a number of committees within the structure. After that, all decisions made by the university are deemed a&ptable since a student was involved. This gives the impression of MEANINGFUL participation by the student but is in fact a farce because the tokenism that it represents is a barrier to FULL involvement by the student. The professional administrators use tokenism to channel student revolt into predictable paths. I propose to find more direct roadsto change-change that can be meaningful and will result in, total student involvement. Mario Savio, leader of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement has said/(There comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious that you can? take part, you can’t even tacitly take part.” The Duff-Berdahl report on university government in Canada the validity of Savio% statement, and consequently the administrators allow student tokenism which serves to grease the machine but not to change it in any fundamental way,, The time has now come for the student to share and share fairly In the running of his university. Issues such as our inadequate library are a function of the present system. Council has tabled recommendations for change in the library but the student body demands that changes be made now, before the final examination period.

Pratt
Mike Pratt has come to the University of Waterloo after several years of practical experience in the working world. He has worked in the West Indies for the
Canadian government and spent two years as a structural draughtsman. He has come here with a firm conviction of what a real education should be, completely agreeing with the Dec&uz&ion of the Canadian student (published by CUS) which says: “Education is a contributory social process, the essence of whichisanexpa ding awareness of men’s socialandnatural environment through dialog and co-op erative intellectual effofi. The principal goal of education is to serve society by developing the full potential of all citizens as free, creative, &&iking and acting human beings and therefore to serve society by helping to achieve equality of the essential conditions of human living. The student lmust discover, examine and assimilate the knowledge of his environment and must develop the ability to cope with and transform it. l’The Canadian student has the right to establish democratic, representative student associations. ReaHzing that educational reform will not come in avaccuum or without a continuous examination and possible transformation of societal values and institutional arrangements, the associates must be free to ally themselves with other groups in society which have similar aims, “The Canadian student, as a full member of the academic community and society has the right and duty to participate in shaping an environment conductive to the accomplishment of these aims and to make basic decisions about the condition and nature of his intellectual activity and the goals served by educationdl fnstitutions.*$ Mr. Pratt has found that education at this university is not the contributive social process which it should be. In OFC der for this goal to be realized, the students must be involved as much as possible in the life of the university. For involve ment there must be more communication between student council and the students. Mike is interested in a real education; he believes you are too. Give the Students a chance-Vote Pratt.

NASTYHAU, THE BAHAMAS-(Formerly staff)-Academic anemia (the search for truth, money and marks), Waterloo weather (the Vancouver of the east) and bigoted Twin City student hatemongers (and KW’s amateur Larry Solway) finally got through to me. I just couldn’t take it any longer. So I cashed in on my favorite charity-the Visit an Orphan in the Bahamas Fund. It all goes to prove a couple of old cliche adages3*Charity begets at home and Honesty pays but dishonesty pays better? This Bahamas bit suits me just fine.

Juliet’s by Julie Chevron
Begeman staff
“Romeo and Juliet” is one of Shakespeare% longest plays. It takes a great deal of skill to maintain the interest of the audience throughout the five acts. With the exception of Act 1, which moved rather slowly, the Michigan State Players kept up the pace admirably. ‘\ The minstrel-like musical introduction and ending, along withthe colourful period costumes added, considerably to the medieva atmosphere of the play. Another clever touch was the setting up of a PlatfOITn to resemble that of Stratford% stage. Franc0 Carracci, who played Escalus, the prince of Verona, definitely represented one of the low

role welLmastered points of the play. His speeches were practically impossible to understand, his bearing was stilted and awkward and he appearedvery unsure of himself. Mercifully, his appearances were brief but he managed to pr6vide an unfortunate anti-climax to an otherwise skillfully contrived ending. An effective contrast to his somewhat insipid wife, Capulet, played by Paul Mea&am, gave a polished performance with impeccable articulation. His television and theater background stood him in good stead with his excellent grasp of the part. Another supporting actor worthy of mention is Romeo% friend, Mercurio, aptly portrayed by HarAlthough his perold Rick Hite, formance was relatively brief, he gave a convincing performance as

Joel Plotkin, who playedRomeo, is an actor who simply exudesvitOne is aware of him the ality. minute he enters onstage. He does, however, lack sincerity in the first half of the play. The melancholy evident in the traditionalimage of Romed s character is missing. Although his dramatic lines are a little over-acted and there appears to be a suspicisous resemblance to Richard Burton in Romeo% explosive outbursts of speec-r. Plotkin has a hint of personal magnetism that has a great deal of audience appeal. A sincerely enchanting performance was given by Marti Maraden who played Juliet. She expresses an appealing innocence and a reserved manner but shows a great deal of spirit in her rendition of the role. She is not simply a pre& ty young girl who has been easily wooed and bows to fate. She is above all an intelligent woman whose love for one man becomes her life. Mrs. Maraden is well onthe way to becoming a professional actress. If her performance of Juliet is any indication, I suggest that hers might be aname to remember for future reference. Comic relief was provided by Juliet% nurse, Jill Goldwasser, who was an extremely convincing combination of bawd and a suspicious protectress of your young charge. Her servant Peter, played by Michael Oberfield, provided a certain amount of humour but somehow came off as a clown who was not really very involved with his part. One tends to view all Shakespearean productions with Stratford in mind. A sense of relativity must be maintained in judging such a group as the Michigan State Players. It is true that only a few of the actors reached professional levels in this play, but on the whole, they are certainly a first rate university company. Their 4Romeo and Juliet?’ had certain impe~ec~ons, but it did no discredit to their well-established reputation.
MSU escape by skin of teeth by Malcolm Chevron
Fauquier
staff
“The Skin of Our Teeth$’ by Thornton Wilder is apopular piece in amateur theater, and was pre sented here as first in a series by an advanced amateur company. Last Thursday evening’s opening performance by the Performing Arts Company of Michigan State University unfortunately provided a catalog of many ills which beset an inadequate production. Whereas many professionalperformers have a certain charm and ease with which to manipulate their way out of onstage accidents, this company merely became moreand more tense, until nerves seemed ready to join the general state of collapse. Everyman in America, as Wilder% play attempts to be, contains elements of the theater of Pirandello and Brecht, as well as the American Broadway tradition of the past 40 years, But these elements requirefluidity, incisiveness, perception and sensitivity in direction, production and performance. While these qualities were occasionally appar-
ent on our stage, they never occurred in sufficient density and coincidence. It would appear that this play is deceptive to the arnateurperformer, since it is very easy to take the script at face value. Wilder has provided lines of some depth (not necessarily philosophy for the ages), and the lit&s were frequently appreciated by the audience in spite of distracting delivery onthe part of most actors. Although it is only natural that a compaw of players would be upset at the holocaust of production flaws presented in the first halfhour of Thursday’sperformancstwo slide projectors conspicuously out of order, a wig that flew off the leading lady% head, a breakaway chair that broke too soon, and so on and o&e actors seemed never to recover. Indeed there were moments, especially in initimate scenes, when it seemed as though the play would grind to a halt altogether. The academic influence upon amateur theater may at times be instructive, but in the case of the under-rehearsed Michigan comp-
any, the various (( methods” of acting as presented in textbook and classroom do not mix well on the stage. Mumbling Actor% Studio performances (serious and satirized) were thrown together along with pure innocent ham, Sundayschool gravity, grade-school recitation, and that most delightful of all styles: Pure Acting Ability. This last was witnessed in only one performer. Deborah Dabek, as the daughter of Wilder% Everyman, was exquisite. Her keen sensitivity, sweetness, freshness, her un-hoky delivery of lines and her flexible features were the delight of the evening. This actress refuses to allow herself the pomposity of an 4‘actressyD* voice, so often attemp= ted by amateurs. ’ If everyone who saw her compares her with Miss Sandy Dennis of greater fame, they will find these young ladies have many excellent qualities in common. Fewer performances, held on weekday afternoons, at minimal prices, would put Michigan state’s Performing Arts Company into a proper perspective on our campus.
The Michigan State Players presen ted Romeo and Juliet at the university last weekend. ’ Colorful costumes and minstrel music added to the atmosphere in the theater.
Lightfoot previews New album.at WLU A standing-room-only audience jammed the WLU theater-auditorium Saturday night to hear Gord Lightfoot at his best. Performing a concert for the first time in over a month, L&h& foot was understandably a little loose and he later admitted that both he and accompanistsRedShea and John Stockfish were ((a bit off musically and artistically.~* They were the only ones who noticed. The customers. were treated to his now-famous standards ranging from ‘Early morning rain* and ‘Steel rail blues’ to the bloodstirring ‘Canadian railroad trilogy,’ which must certainly rank as his masterpiece. The major part of the performance, however, was taka up with cuts from his upcoming album. Songs on the new album include Black Day in July, his comment on the Detroit uprising, Pony Man, a lighthearted ballad with a refreshingly pleasant melody, and BOSS Man, a hard driving tune
which will be the single release for the LP. The major work is undoubtedly the Mountains andMarianne, the tale of a young man tr;ir velling the country on a motorbike, All of Lightfoot% trademarks as witnessed in Trilogy and Earty Morning Rain are especially evident in thts important piece. It is his personal favourite and at the end of the song he told the crowd that “when you write a song like that you feel so damn good... Let% sing it again!)’ And he did1 The performance of this song not only revealeda musical accomplishment but perhaps yielded a key to the success of Gord Lightfoot. He doesn’t present a facade on the stage as other performers are wont to do but instead his enthusiasm is real. Lightfoot continues his college tour with a concert tonight at the University of Guelph in conjunction with their Winter Carnival. Judging from his reception at Lutheran, the pendulum of his popularity is on the upswing and does not promise to fall for some time,

Just a few days ago LnKitchener 5000 people, Young and old alike, saw a big western-music concert, and they all went home srnfling. Local radio and television stations have country music shows of one kind or another. Even 1967’s “in*’ movie, ‘Bonnie and Clyde*, owes much of its appeal to the spirited bluegrass picking of Flatt and Scruggs in the background. With so much interest in country music evident several students decided to form a club on campus*

With such artists as Dean Martin, Conway Twitty, the Everlys, Ricky Nelson, Gene Pitney and even Ian and Sylvia, singing more of this type of music, the public has become aware of the true updated brand of C and W.

Three of our candidates for president of the Federation of Students attended an informal Chevron gettogether Sunday night. Mike Prutt, arts 1, Cyril Levitt, poli-sci 2, and Brian Iler, civil 3B, sat down for a couple of hours to discuss and explain their views, policies and ideas about student government and the upcoming election.

Why are you running for president? ILER: *gf~e worked with past presidents and have seen the job as a challI think IDm capable of doing the enge. job. There are lots of things to do and Pd like to see them done? Iler continued, describing first the issues-the issues that really “ sandbox”’ involve no important principles. “The societies are weak and perhaps compulsory fees should be re-investigated. We should re-examine the possibility of closer ties with Waterloo Lutheran? Iler feels that the local image of the university can be improved by using the Athletic fees should local media more. be in the hands of students. In broader areas, Iler believes that the quality of education, university government and studedt involvement within society will be important issues in the next year. He intends to implement recommendations of Student council’s quality of education committee and go ahead with plans for the fall teach-in on education. Iler feels his experience in organizing Tenth Anniversary Week will be valuable in setting up such a program. “Students have many reps on committees now,” said Iler, “but a way must be found to make sure they’ re responsible and to get reports back.” Iler believes that student council should promote involvement in the world by taking stands “on which most students concur,” As an example he mentioned the recent ban on South African products made by council, LEVITT: ‘$I want to offer an alternative, not on issues per se, but on the

The educational machine tends to isolate the university student from pursuit of knowledge and our own Federation seems to have accepted it. ‘(The noble purposes of the university are presented in addresses but forgotten in everyday life.‘8 PRATT: tg Students do not associate themselves with the student government at this university. There is a great voidbetween the Federation of Students and the average student. tg On this campus there is no such thing as student apathy. Every student I know is very interested.

They should make more use of the media-radio, and television, as well as the Chevron. Maybe dial-an-activity or dial-a-report as well as more council newsletter would help to project the-internal image more so than the external. We have to get the people here to know what’s going on. ttThe present administration has had some success-it’s got first-year students like me interested. Pm not running on my own. Pm representing first-year students.” LEVITT agreed with Pratt on the problems of internal workings. “The way the university is structured today it’s virtually impossible to bring the student into the process. There is too much bureaucracy. We must restructure the university to make the students feel a part of it. The students must realize that what they feel, say and do does have effect.

They look back on the bookstore strike and see that students are gaining power.” PRATT felt that the administration seems t ‘to be giving in to any reasonable student demand”. However LEVITT sees the situationin a different light. “The administration tries to make student protests look great-free speech and all that-but they don’t want you to hit the sacred cows.

with their present facilities, they% never be a basektball power, It% not coincidental that Windsor and Western have dominated the sport in the 50% and 60%. The Blues last won the league title in 1958, a poor showing for acampus of over 20,000 students. Of tour se, this only makes things easier for Dan Pugliese’s cage Warriors, but it also stunts the development of the league and the calibre of the game its members play. Tomorrow night the two top American college teams, UGLA and Houston, will be playing in the Astrodome. Is it any wonder then that Canadian basketball lags so pitifully behind its US counterpart. If the executive of the league share these opinions, they should lay it on the line to Toronto. Waterloo Lutheran has more right to be playing in the OQAA league than Toronto ever had. Until they put up a decent facility, the Blues can satisfy themselves by playing Brock, Ryerson, and Trent.

fad that I have seen to date& Dale Martin’s article on Pete Warrian’s visit to and “analysis” of Puerto Rico (Jan. 12). The implication made is that America% military presence in Puerto Rico is for the purpose of oppressing the native population. The fact is that there is a preponderance of military bases in the warmer parts of the U.S. simply because it is more economical to locate them there. Warrian’s assumptions are as absurd as to suppose that the troops at Fort Benning are there to quash the independence of Georgia or that the flyers at Vandenburg are keeping the lid on California. One must also remember that Puerto Rico has periodically been given the opportunity to opt for one of three statuses: complete independence, commonwealth status or full statehood. Each time the voters have overwhelmingly voted for commonwealth status, even as recently as 1967. Satehood would entitle Puerto Rico to voting members in Congress and at the same time oblige her citizens to pay income tax at the mainland rate. Evidently Puerto Ricans are satisfied withhaving neither taxation nor representation. On the other hand, the low tax rate has induced an industrialization of the island withoutparallel in Latin America, Without it Puerto Rico would have a standard of living much like that of Haiti. Instead her per-capita income exceeds that of any Latin American nation,
Independence, on the other hand would impose a quota on the rather considerable emigration to the mainland, whereas at present Puerto Rfcans hold U.S. passports with all the freedoms and restrictions they imply. Puerto Ricans are subjected to the same selective service laws as any other U.S. citizens. To compare the draft rate of poor Puerto Ricans with middle-class mainland whites is so deliberate a distortion as to be’ useless. Incidentally, I am told that, disproportionately many men in theCanadian armed forces are recruited from the’ impoverished Maritimes. How does Warrian account for that? With regard to the refusal ofthe United States government to have Puerto Rican independence discussed in the United Nations general assembly, I would remind Warrian that the status of Puerto Rico is a dome&i-ot an international-issue. It would be more appropriate to discuss on that floor the matter of a free Quebec (although Canadian officials bristled when a European chief of state so much as mentioned it) or Welsh independence from English exploitation or the separation of Ukrania from the rest of the Soviet Union. Martin’s article merely supports the well-known truism that if you have an opinion, you can usually distort enough facts to back it up. MARK E, WATKINS vislting associate professor of mathmatics
Orientation
At long last, we have a presidential election on this campus. And four, count them, four candidates. Or is it three candidates? Despite her advertisements, I am not against In fact I think she is doing all Rosemary Kelly. campus politicians a great favor by saying that student activists take themselves too seriously. If they didn’t, Steve Flott wouldn’t have ulcers, and Steve Ireland would be able to tell you he wasn’t aware he had only 41 days left in his term of office. So it is with a sad heart I must tell Miss Kelly I cannot vote for her. This must be, for even she does not take her candidacy seriously. The same must be said for the formerposterposter, Mike Pratt. His running is somewhat like Miss Kelly’s except that he is not funny. In fact, Pratt is downright vicious. lLfyou read the Chevron interview with him, you will see that he attacks Iler for brainwashing the engineers to vote for him as a bloc. I suppose by this comment Pratt hopes to win the support of engineers by telling them that they are brainwashed. Some hope! That comment ranks with the saying of Southern segregationist faced with a negro candidate “1 guess you gotta expect him to ask the nigras to vote for him.”
We are left with t!he first name on the ballotIs he worth the trouble of voting for? Brian Iler. The answer has to be nearly unqualified yes. Iler is one of the most competent stud& administrators ever produced by this university. At the same time, he has a completegrasp of the ideoHe has adopted enough of it logy of the activists. to ensure that he never returns to the sandbox school of politics. . Iler is the one student WQO can bind together all the diverse campus elements and lead them united to the councils of this university. Iler is also the only person who can give the new student council., to be elected in February, anything approaching the unity of purpose the current Without this unity, the council has exhibited. council will achieve little and student politics will be set back more than a year on this campus.
Iler’s only handicap is that he is too goodnatured. He thinks too well of people and is hesitant to chide people who err. He is even slower to deal with people who oppose what he believes in, and a president must be a strong believer. It is to be hoped he will learn to act with dispatch. It is saddening but true that a president must be a politician-for a non-political president is as good as no president. Iler is the man for the job if he can grow to fill it. I have no doubt that he will.

A lecherous old man, a nubile young girl, a wishy-washy father, a remote neighbor and a hysterical mother-these are the characters in the play ‘Transcending’ by David C reigan. Directed by Neil Walsh andproduced by Tom Britten, ‘Transcending’ is a hilarious account of agirl who has failed her exams and who seeks solace from two of her neighhours. But then her father decides to kill one of them for wanting to sleep with her. The plot of this fast-moving farce is somewhat complicated by the use of 17 scenes in the one act. With an excellent cast of Jacqueline Hornby, Ann McGillis, Sheila Redmond, Dave Dither, Fred Nobes and Peter Moore, this play will be one of the bright lights of the season. ‘Transcending’ is being prepared by the university drama company as an entry in the Canadian .a

The most appealing candidate from an ideological point of view is Cyril -Levitt. He has the rhetoric and mouths all the accepted phrases. He is the candidate most willing to wave the flag of revolution. He is running on issues, so he claims, and not on the basis of past experience. And yet his grasp of revolutionary thinking is weak. Otherwise, how could he come out with a statement like “Come let us reason together.” This quote, made famous by Lyndon Johnson, is a keystone of the deeply conservative philosophy of consensus. It would be far better if Levitt had said: “Come let us act together.%’ Thus this revolutionary is shown in his true colors, and the voter trudges onward seeking a leader.

U We wouldn’t bother with student representation just for appeasement, It isn’t worth itag, Many students have accused the Federation of partaking in tokenism. They feel that if students aren’t represented in large blocs they shouldn’t be represented at all. Tom Patterson, the Federation’s university-affairs officer, said that one or two students on an important body would be tokenism. “We have been making slow progress but we still have a long way to go.

ltOne council a week,j seems to be the administration,s motto this year. For the past three weeks the university adm.inistration has announced student seats on new councils or committees. Student representation on various bodies has been growing by leaps and bounds in the past year. This is probably a credit to both our liberaladmimstration and Federation of Students president Steve Ireland.

Just this year faculty councils have decided to consider student requests for a bigger say in curriculum and other business of the faculties. There are two students on the engineering faculty council. 9t appears tokenistic because of the size of fhe faculty council,,, said one student. lf But it,’ a big step because it opens the door for better representation.,, Recently the science faculty formed a joint student-faculty board where students can air their views. The board had its first meeting Monday, There are nine students on it. Also in science there are two students on a first-year curriculum committee. Chairman Dr. Alan Snyder of physics said he hoped to add another student this term. In arts, students have been involved in curriculum discussions since September. They also have observers on the arts committee for undergraduate affairs.

Camels and committees If a camel is a horse designed by a committee, then the report Student participation in university government is a camel designed by a committee of university administrators. It tries to be all things to all men and merely succeeds in confusing the reader. It embraces all viewpoints\ and makes no recommendations. It does not give the true feelings of the subcommittee that drew it up, although the reader gets a sick feeling of what they might be. For the optimist, it is loaded with all sorts of good intents such as ‘statements that the university should be made more democratic by involving people, that the university is a community of scholars and that there is an “egalitariansim” in the university. It almost seems the administrators agree with students who call for more student participation in university government. But are they really? The skeptic can readily find examplesof shoddy social and political thinking in the document. The opening paragraph says the university “exists for the preservation, transmission, and increase of knowledge”. All other matters are secondary. This is ivory-tower thinking. A university is composed of people. It is not an inhuman machine whose sole purpose is accumulating bits of knowledge. The un-
iversity is a meaningless concept without the human element. The university is the servant, not the master of man. As political philosophers, the committee members have both feet firmly planted in the 17th century. They say analogies between the unGiversity ’ and political democracy are faulty because the university’s citizens are not taxed and therefore do not need representation. Perhaps the administrators who wrote this little gray book have never heard of tuition fees. The committee also resorts to a specious legal definition by saying that a “right” is only a right when it is enforced by the law. Presumably the American negros of the 1850s had no right to be free. The committee seems to think businessmen are naturally endowed with the ability to run a university while all other groups are incapable of rising to such a great calling. The report does not make commendations on student sentation. The major concept to be that each university muddle through on its own.

The report concludes that students by themselves will yield a revolution while the university as a whole could effect a renaissance. The students are waiting.
Enlightened journalism Council Last week we erred. member’ Dave Witty was unjustly criticized for not reporting to student council the proposed changes in the arts coffeeshop. Witty was only on an unofficial committee discussing a proposed coffeeshop for the social-sciences lounge. This committee had apparently considered a change in the present coffeeshop but none was planned when Witty left for Christmas vacation. This wasnot a committee of stcxdent council nor was it a committee to which the Federation appointed \ him. We did not intend to make an example of Witty, but only to use the case as an illustration of an issue
that still stands. If students are going to sit on committees it’s no good if we don’t know who they are, what the terms of reference are and, most important, what decisions are being made. As the number of student committee seats grows, the existing problems will increase in complexity, even more so when faculty societies choose some of the reps. All students on these committees must be ultimately responsible to student council through the society presidents in the case of society appointments. These reports must be made regulary enough to convey the process of decision-making in addition to the result.
Our ballot’s for Br’iler Brian Iler is the man to vote for in Wednesday’s presidential election. That’s almost a foregone conclusion. Let’s compare the four candidates. We can rule out Rosemary Kelly as an admitted spoof. She does deserve thanks, however, for reminding student politicians to avoid ulcers and for adding a lighthearted touch to the campaign. Mike Pratt makes it too plain that he doesn’t have/ enough experience to handle the job. Pratt should spend a year on council first, learning the ropesto make sure /he really wants the president’s chair after all. He just wouldn’t have time to do his homework after he was in it. Cyril Levitt presents the greatest challenge to Iler, though he will probably run quite a distant second. His challenge is that the present student government-and Iler is the candidate of the present government -has not progressed quickly enough, Maybe this has been an unspectacular year on the surface. But solid progress has been made under Ireland in gaining respect from faculty and administration for the student point of view. Remember Ireland himself was one of the main organizers of the bookstore event in 1966. If there has been dull con-
ference instead of direct confrontation this year, it was not through softness but through deliberate-and \ we think-wise decision. Iler advocates continuing this policy-using rational dialog instead of pressure tactics. This calls for an atmosphere of respect and confidence, which Iler has already gained, particularly through his experience with Tenth Anniversary Week. Everyone on campus knows Brian Iler-from President Hagey down to the janitor in the food-services building. They know what kind of job he can do and they have at least begun to trust him as a person. Much ground would be lost under Levitt as president because this confidence-in policies as well as persons-would have to be rebuilt. (We do not deny Levitt’s experience in leading political bodies, in organizing detailed programs and in coordinating volunteer workers. However, unlike Iler, none of this background was on campus.) We’ll vote for Levitt in the council elections in a few weeks-and we hope he runs. He needs a year as understudy to see how things look behind the scenes and to show us how he can perform. But for president this year we’re voting Iler.
