Three statements are usually made about the effects of early experience, The first is that early habits are very yersistent and may prevent the formation of new ones. . . The second statement is that early perceptions deeply affect all .fu ture learning. . . The third statement is simply that early social contacts determine adult social behavior. --Eckhard H. He3s

Science has proved that there exists no ethical principle which is. even theoretica&. acknowledged by all human societies. Hense ethical values are nothing but functions of the societies in which the), originate. The question of what is morally good or moral& evil has no meaning except in reference to the moral value system of a given society. There are there-fore, no ‘absolute’ criteria by which the value system of a given society can be judged objective@. --Kurt Von Fritz.

The ,face of change is a young one--and it comes in many colours. All previous revolutions had, as their goal, the attainment o.f’some new state of equilibrium.

The poor in the slums and the backwoods have, in a very real sense, fallen further behind the educational and skillful requirements of the affluent. . .In the future, it is possible that the new occupational structure of the society will provide the basis of a two--class society of educated technocrats and janitors.

The immediate future of our country seems to me to have two looming prospects, both gloomy. If the powers--that-be proceed as stupidly, timidly, and “politically” as they have been doing, there will be a bad breakdown and the upsurge of a know--nothing facisim of the right. The other prospect-which, to be frank, seems to me to be the goals of the school-monks themselves--is a progressive regimen ta tion and brainmashing, on scientific principles, directly towards a fascisim-ofthe-ten tre, 1984. --Paul Goodman

of man

We’re scared, we’re damn scared about two things that are happening around us and within us. The first thing is the total inability of our society to recognize its enthno-centricism. Ethno-centricism is a term used by anthropologists to describe a phenomena that might be simply explained as being the tendency of individuals to view situations from the standpoint of their own cultural environment. One of its worst manifestations in our lives is our tendency to inconsciously apply the values of our culture when viewing a different one. If something is good for us then it must be good for everyone or so we reason. It seems incomprehensible that in our so-called advanced society man is unable to at least recognize this mental process at work within him. Regrettable it is that all of us have been brought up to believe that our own way of life is not only the best one but is in fact the only acceptable one. The Indian, the immigrant, all must integrate. Yet the second thin g that is worrying us is probably even worse. We are moving toward a social system that has as one its intrinsic parts strong checks on the ability of the individual to study and be aware of alternatives to any given situation. In practise this phenomena has many similarities with the first one mentioned. As a result of it we tend to accept without question whole concepts as to how we should live our lives. Hence we accept all too readily the basic tennents of the protestant ethic preaching that only hard work and sweat will bring happiness. We accept our general system of government, Oh we *may tinker-but we accept. We accept as well our educational system. Unquestioningly we adopt a set of rules that tell us how to deal with our fellow man. We perceive no-one as an individual, all are typed, classified and filed. And when someone brings to our attention these forms of behaviour, we reject him as talking nonsense “What do you mean that my upbringing or education has limited my ability to think clearly . and unbiasedly ? I’m free, I can think as I want,” we say. The whole process becomes self-perpetuating. We chastise and punish those who adopt heresies-witness the-reaction to the hippies. To continue what we think is right, we control what is taught in our schools and we control how it is taught. Somehow or other we must stop and take a look at what is happening. If your not as scared as we are, or even if your not worried at all, won’t you at least take a moment to assure yourself that we are just damn fools? _ During the coming year it is our sincere hope that we may --- _ __ facilitate a dialogue about and an investigation into these problems. - ‘8~ 6~ yhlt believe that a Utopia can ever exist. Man, we feel, will always :e*L,@.a state of change-he will alThe, real question we ways be moving on to a new conaiL must ask ourselves is not just what we do wanL %t where do -. we want to be headed. To answer the question we must have some idea of what forces are to change our society and of the ways they may be controlled. The mass movements, upheavals, and wars which are a by-product of change indicate that the process involves the deeper layers of man’s soul. After all, change such as the world has seen in the last hundred years is something wholly unprecedented ‘in human experience. It would be legitimate, therefore, to assume that there is in man 3 nature a built-in resistance to change. We are not only afraid of the new but we are convinced that we can not really change, that we cannot adapt ourselves to the new only be getting out of our skin and assuming a new identity. In other words, drastic change generates a need for a new identity. And it perhaps depends on the way that needs is satisfjed whether the process of change runs smoothly or is attended with convulsions and explosions. --Eric Hoffer

WATERLOO-Prospective employers have been lining up$ trying to pay Z&year-old Brian Iler more than $100 a week ifhe’llonly work for them as an engineering trainee. He’ll have no part of them. Instead he*11 work for $65 a week as full-time president of the Waterloo University Federation of Students. He wants to help fellow students get a wider view of life. An engineering student in Waterloo’s cooperative program, Iler could have been one of 1011 students who will be starting work for various companies as soon as the school term ends in May. During past years, he hasalternated between working for a firm of consulting engineers, going to university, working for the Ontario government and g o i ng back to school. Now he doesn’t want another job. “A few of us realize that we are getting shortchanged,” he said in an interview. “We donpt get a

broad education, just tsaining.” In 10 years, Waterloo has built the largest engineering faculty in the country by becoming a training school for industry. It has an industrial advisory council, composed of representatives from 20 companies which employ engineers. The council meets twice a year at the university to recommend changes and directions for the engineering course. Once the courses are set up, the students are processed for use in industry through the cooperative system, so that they go to school four months and work in industry four months. After alternating for four years, the students join one of the companies on a permanent basis, unless they wish to pursue further studies before going to work. Employers like the system because it means relatively ch-Gap lab-or for them while the student is serving his apprenticeship and because they can hire tried and proved engineers after graduation. While there is no obligation on either part, half the graduates return to their last employer. But, this means students in the cooperative program tend to be les s well-rounded than others be-

carries with it a lifelong criminal record or dismissing the charge with no punishment other than a scare. Prof. Bill Scott, provostfor student affairs, said “1 amvery sympathetic with changes of this nature. It% pretty tragic that ape* son will be stigmatized for life because of one little slip.” In his three years as provost, Scott has advised many students charged with petty offenses. The new plan, which has Cabinet approval, was debated in the justice and legal affairs committee and is expected to be controversial when it reaches the House. Liberal for Welland, D. R. Tolo mie, who has seen several of his private members bills advocating this type of plan talked out in the Commons, told the Chevron that he will continue to put pressure on the government to produce a workable bill and get it passed quickly.

Under the plan, records would be wiped out-or vacated-five years after completion of sentence on conviction for an indictable offense and three years after a summary conviction.

cause they are more closely connected with the business world. CJEngineering students are the most reactionary on any campus,” Iler says. “But this system reinforces their attitude.” Having jobs waiting for them (this year already 262 companies have visited the campus offering jobs) makes most of the engineering students very narrowly joboriented, Iler feels. Peter Warrian, 26, another WatP erloo student, who is presidentelect of the 150,OOGmember Canadian Union of Students, is not even sure they are being well-prepared for their jobs. “Within five years very few of them end up doing any engineering work, per se,‘* Warrian Said, “Most of them end up in managment positions. Yet how good a preparation do they have in the humanities and social sciences?)’ Albert Barber, director of coordination and placement at Wai+ erloo, shrugs off the criticisms, citing the university% growth record over the past 10 years as proof that the students are happy about the system.

Student leaders object to new student aid regulations by Steve Ireland Chevron staff

“The Ontario student awards program for the coming year has gotten worse-if that’s possible,” say student leaders. This is despite Queen’s Park claims that increased funds are available and changed regulations show the Robarts government’s concern that “every qualified student who requires financial assistance to continue his education should have the resources to do SO.” “OSAP will not equalize educational opportunities in 1968-6 9,” says Monique Ouellette, president of the Ontario Union of Students. “Until much more money is made available and a program devised to help students on the basis of their actual financial need and nothing else, Ontario will continue to tax the poor to finance the education of a l-&gely middleclass population,” she claims. Brian Iler, Federation of Students president, attacked the continuation of means tests and loans which he says “create financial and psychological barriers to higher education.” The department of university affairs maintains that the increase in the provincial grant port&on of the awards program, from nearly $14 million last year to $26 million for the commg year, represents one of the highest percentage in-

Federation and tenant group may join forces Evil landlords, beware i The Federation of Students may join with the Kitchener-Waterloo tenants association in the fight against abusive landlords. After several discussions with association president John Quinn* federation president Brian Iler feels that the two organlzatlons can work together to assist both student and non-student tenants. The Federation fought and won three landlord-tenant cases last year. ‘Well never get an-g if we don’t fl@t for our rights,*’ says Quinn. An immigrant from Scotland, he calls the Canadian sltuatlon terrible., “We never experienced this sort of thing ln the old country.** Iler, vice president Tom Patterson and pastpresldent Steve Ireland attended an executive meeting of the tenants association Tuesday evening to discuss strategy. The federation will plan a membership campaign for the association’s executive, which is swamped by the work involved ln f0ihbg up tenants’ complaints. The federation hopes to recruit student members for the assoclation during the annual fall rush for student housing.

There’s a new face on’the federation exec board but there’s also an empty space ln the ranks. At the last student council meeting, president Brian Iler announced the resignation of crea+lve arts chairman Dave Blaney and the appointment of Jim Belfry as communications commlssloner . Blaney said he resigned because of a confIlct with the people ln the creative-arts office over the concept of hls role as chairman.

saying there was no money budgeted for it and the position had not yet indicated the need for a salary. Treasurer Joe Givens agreed and the motion was tabled for later consideration. Student council also discussed the posslblllty of selling the Campus Shop to the university bookstore. Uer indicated that bookstore manager Elsie Fischer was interested in operating a shop ln the campus center if the federation dld not do so. The financial status of the Campus Shop wffl be changed since it will have to pay rent for the space lt will use in the campus center. IIer suggested that since the bookstore was now operating on

a breakeven basis, the Campus shop is not as necessary as it once was. KOV& who was instrumental in setting up the Campus Shop, said however, prices would likely rise if the bookstore took over. Iler outlined two alternatives for the shop--sell it to the bookstore or keep it and add a sub postoffice on campus and the university has agreed to let the federation run it. The revenue from the post office would probably offset the extra costs of operating ln the campus center. A final decision was left until the next meeting so a financial study can be made by Pete Yates, federation business manager.

Reahsm of grud petition and poll questioned According to the graduate society, their petition-for the unlverslty to turn over activity fees to them rather than the Federation of Students--was signed by 551 or about 62 percent of graduate students. However the Chevronhas reason to question the results on the basis of the testimony of an undergraduate research assistant who witnessed some of the collection of signatures. He said, “Most of the grads in my area signed first and asked for clarification later. Afterwards I asked why they signed and they had based their decisions on the Grad Power leaflet only. “The grad society rep who was handling the petition did not ask for any identification and I could have signed it without question. “Only one of the five grads where I was working said they. would have gone out to a referendum or signed if the petition had not been brought to him.” The questlonalre dlstrlbuted by the grad society also had some questionable points. For instance, five answered they obtained copies of Volume 63, a Ilterary journal that’s been extinct for two years. The questlonaire asked ff grads participated in athletic programs --an entirely irrelevant question with respect to the federation since it unfortunately has no control over athledcs.

The graduate society executive ‘fiI~aUy waged an open encounter with the federation exec last Thurschy at the grad house. The meeting was open to the Chevron despite the feelings of grad SOciety president Brad Munro. The object of the “grad power” campaign was to bring the grad portion of the 122 activity fee under the control of the graduate society. Federation president Brian Iler proposed that the grad society should have a degree of special status-but should be financed like the undergrad faculty societies, which have just completed negotia. tions with the university for fee collection at registration. “The graduate student society should be autonomous with an independent source of income. It should be free from the scruntiny of student council that all clubs must undergo, said Iler. Then the grad society can runindependent programs in the special areas of interest to grad students.‘g Munro replied, eeWe have a right to do our own thing.” Some of the grads think they do not get their money’s worth out of the federation since it% programs are oriented towards undergrads, The results of a questionnaire the grads had distributed were brought out and Iler noted that grad participation in federation activities was high, Grad rep on student council Garth McGeary said, “We need to compare these results with similar participation figures for undergrads?

fees

Council science rep and quality of education committee chairman Ian Calvert said, “DO you then split the fee for engineers on the basis of programs directed toward engineers and give the rest to engineering society?’ Grad News editor Bill Goddard asked, “Why should graduate students be concerned with the quality of undergraduate education?” Iler repeated grads do benefit from most of the programs as shown by the questionnaire but they have less time to spendworking on student activities--“They don’t have to put in the effort, but they get the programs anyway.” McGeary said, “We can get grads more interested by directing activities to them-grad financed and operated programs still open to the whole campus,8P Grad rep on student council Richard Kinler continued, (‘We’re just one of many organizations under the federation. If grads get excited in some proposal they have to go to council for money. But if council says no, their interest just fades away.‘9

Undergrads

successful

Calvert noted the engineering society has been able to do many things without federation support. Munro said, “They have no beefs because they’re undergraduates and federation programs are directed to them.” Iler disagreed again but McGeary continued, “We have no ram-every grad society core prog When meeting looks the same. I’ve want to do anything we have no money and interest wains. The grads want to spend less time and more money. If they spent the same spare time in consulting they could get $75 a daye9’ Iler countered, “Graduate students are getting their money9s worth from the federation for the activity fee they3re paying. They can have a greater tiect on the way co uric i 1 spends its money through, their reps on student

council. If not, thei r reps are weak. “It’s not justifiable to take a chunk out of the student-activity pot for all students and give it to a particular group,” said Iler. Calvert noted this is especially unfair for the grads to demand, when as a body they benefit but don’t put the same amount of work into the activities.

Grads

won’t

pay fee

“Graduate . Kinler continued, students are ready to march down to registration and either not pay the activity fee or not register. The university gets $8000 for each grad, If a significant number do not register, the university willbe out a lot of money,9’ The grads then brought up their proposal to (‘buy in to” the fedelb ation programs they felt were of benefit to grads. Iler reminded them cnat it would be unworkable and unfair, since the questionnaire shows grads do participate. Grad exec Tony Mat said t4grad power” had just been a play to get the federation$ s attention. Another grad society executive, Frank Watty, said, “Being a graduate student is a privilege in some respects and a responsibility in others. The things we canprovide should be provided by the gradsociety. I believe in a united student body, but special interests should be granted.” He reiterated the view that Iler hadn’t compromised. Iler said, ‘What if some part of the $22 activity fee was turned over to the graduate society? There would be greater hostility than there is now. “There would be perpetual hastility because of negotiations every year. If you had an independent source of income on top of the $22 like the undergrad societies now have, there would be no negotiations and no hostility ? Kinler said, 64IV s not the money, it’s the symbol,‘” Grad exec-member Joe Mathews said, “It% the money?

You’ve got this ingrown thing-you9ve got a degree so you’re different.‘j Munro said, “Undergrads aren’t in a position to judge their courses until 3 or 4 years later. Most of the quality of education furor seems i&founded, Grads wouldbe more valuable as referees between students and faculty.9’ Why can’t students discuss the problems directly with faculty? Aren’t they equals?’ questioned Iler.

Students

(( Faculty and students are not equal,“) replied Munro. McGeary said he could very easily give up on the whole thing and never go to another meeting and finish his degree as afaculty type. Iler asked if he meant it like a hippie drops out. “But grad students are different from other students,” said Kinler. They have different financial status and run different programs. But they must have money? J( What’ s wrong with a grad society fee on top of the student acm tivity fee?,’. asked Iler Munro replied, I’Tiat sort of solution would solve the problem, but we see no need to up feeswhen we can get funds more efficiently under a different structure/O Under further questioning from the federation side, Munro sai% “If there was a $3 fee for thegraduate society, many graduates would say disband the society and weW save $3.$$ Kinler repeated his plea that a

Iler remarked that these programs did not require much money. Another example given was an experimental film series, which gtids had run this year under the federation% sponsorship. In the recent questionnaire, 84 out of 364 had indicated they attended the series at least occasionally, but in a subsequent question, 191 grads indicated they “would like to see implemented for gSvaduate students an experimentalfilm series.:’ The grad society had not applied for funds to run the series this

The editorial page pit featured a member of the campus constabulary-Art Pink-departing from a teapot party inthe basement of the federation building. The supposed gathering of campus narcs was an obvious frameup. However we soon found out that the officer involved was at least unofficially criticized-his crime was being photographed, and just a headshot at that.

Pete Wilkinson also had a few rundns with them. &#They demanded my camera on one occasion but all I had was a flash and I said Pd call the Waterloo police if they took it. So they left muttering threats.*$ Last Friday night was the ultimate fiasco. Gary Robins was walking past the campus center with. another Chevron=type Ken Fraser. They were going to the old federation building-where the C h e v r o n darkroom temporarily remains. Robins happened to have a camera in his hand when the campus cop car came around the corner. Camera aimed, Robins followed him ,around the bend. Whether he snapped the pie or not is irrele vant (he didrPt), The cop car proceeded a short way toward the Village before coming back to Robins and Fraser, Downing, who was not driving, motioned Robins over and told him to get in the car. When Fraser attempted to follow, he was told to stay where he was. Robins was taken to the security office and told to sit down while one of the officers made a phone call. He was told there was a polo icy against taking pictures of campus cops. 44We%e had this out with the head of the Chevron before,*’ said one officer who refused to identify himself.

Click, click. The officer was outnumbered so he went back inside and called the cruiser. The Chevron staffers passively dispersed, They were given a final test Saturday night at a dance in the campus center. Not only did the cops on duty follow the photogs around, duck behind posts and turn away from cameras, they made witnessed threats to confiscate or break cameras with possible similar action for the photographer. It was apparent that Romenco had not yet communicated his shock and amazement to them. Downing was there again, and again his partner would not give his name when asked. _ 0 Romenco talked with editor Saxe on Wednesday and the security director confirmed that photograw phers have a legitimate right to shoot candid pictures of his cops while their on duty.

A N’egro’s Washington Testimonial Friday, April 5th was a cool day. It had rained the night befor e--but that was just as well. There were few white people on the bus that morning. Everyone looked as though he had been up all night, not crying, but reflecting. It was the day after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King. There had been news flashes all night, very few concerning the assassination, many about the angry outbursts that followed. A few department stores had been burned down and angry crowds of people had gathered on the streets of the ghetto sections 0 The sun did not come out that day. I went to school that morning. I’m still not sure why. Trinity College was Whitey’s school and . it disgusted me, There are about thirty of us and we were all together and we loved each other that Friday. We went to no classes, but held hands together around the well. We sang Negro spirituals. Some of us cried. The white girls didn’t understand. They watched us sing and attempted to join in. I heard one of themsay “I didn’t know they felt that way about him.+* That disgusted me, Most of them were preparing to leave town for their two-week vacation anyway, They were catching planes and leaving for Boston and Cape Cod and White Plains and their mountain cottages and their beach houses to escape the chaos.

Three young men from Howard University walked with me and carried my books. They walked with me and carried my books because I was blackand they were black and they wanted to protect me. I loved them for that. As we walked, I saw four columns of smoke rising high above the re.sidential area near Fourteenth Street. The fire sirens whinned so incessantly that I didn’t notice them after a while. Three Negro boys and a Negro girl wearing a George Washington University sweatshirt laughed and talked with a white policeman as they pushed a grocery cart in front of them, full of colorful print dresses and spring shoes. One little black boy, I suppose he was not more than eight years old, was carrying a portable television set. He was walking with his mother. Many of the cars heading up and down Sherman Avenue had their headlights on. I asked one black boy what it meant. He told me, “It meson you a soul brother, baby, an’ if you a. soul brother, don’t nobody better bother you.

She said that she couldn’t dig his non-violent action. I_ went to bed that night knowing that the days to follow would make that Friday look likea carnival. Things were happening. Federal troops were being flown in, Hundreds of places were being burned to the ground. Washington D. C. was not the only city hit by violence. My mother kept saying that all hell had broken loose. I wondered how it would all end. I went to bed and thought about the man who had been assassinated. I thought about the man I had seen nailed up on the cross. He talked to me for a while.

Well this year we are going to give you a chance to do more about some of the things that may be bothering you around here than just mumble into your pillow. Has the registrar lost your file? Did the nurse prescribe aspirin for your broken arm? Did the housing service suggest 50 apartments half of which burned down in 1942 and the other half of which don’t rent to students ? What ever your problem we stand ready to help. The Ombudsman will be written by a team of editors and reporters constantly standing by. We will deal only with personal problems, the purpose of this column is not to carry on a dialogue about m&education in the contemporary university but rather to help the individual with his minor but important fights with its impersonal bureaucracy. Submissions must be typed and mailed or delivered to The Ombudsman, care of The Chevron offices in the campus center. Pen names wffl be allowed if requested but the complaint must be signed with your real name and student number, and please give a telephone number as well. We will work as quickly as we can to help you. However nothing will be printed until we are sure that we have the facts of the case or at least are able to present both sides. To be considered the complaint must involve you personally, don’t write for your friends or about other people. Through experience we have found that most of the university stands ready to right a wrong when they know its about to appear in print, so don’t hesitate to rnake use of us. Faculty and staff are of course welcome to write in as well as students.

On The Bookshelf by Dangerous visions edited lan Ellison. Doubleday,

This anthology of science fiction is meant to be a departure from old ways, Each story was written especially for this volume. Each story was meant to be so disturbing that it would not be accepted by science fiction magazines. And each story was to represent the new school of science fiction which is as much interested in the nature of man as the nature of the universe, There are enough successes in the book to make it worthwhile. The best of the 33 stories isprobably Philip Jose Farmer’s u Riders of the purple wage” which deals with the effects of advancing technology on man and which will provide the framework for a major novel. ‘(Aye, and Gomorrah” by Delaney is a moving story of the radiation-proofed astronauts of the future who become the focus of a new sexual perversion. The book has itsfailures, especially in those stories that joke about religion. The jokes are too old to be funny. The disappointment of the book is Zelazny’s 4‘Auto-daofe” which has to be one of his poorer pieces. Good solid entertainment isprovided in Norman Spinrad’s “Carcinoma angelsp9, Kieth Laumer% “Test to destruction” and Theodore Sturgeon% “If all men were brothers, would you let one marry your sister?’ which proves incest is best. This has to be the finest volume of its kind this year.

Oddly the book has several strikes against it in the fact it is the first novel of a man who has never been to Vietnam. But the book is not about the way men fight wars but is rather concerned with the effect of wars on man,, This book reflects the moral revulsion of wars like Vietnam. The narrator is aninfantry lieutenant sentenced to the military prison camp at Quai Dong forfailure to lead his men into battle. He is given a chance to redeem himself by acting as a translator in the interrogation of a young Viet Cong suspect. For a day and anight the prisoner is questioned and tortured inan interrogation hut. Finally the nap rator cannot stand his participation in this crime and lies to the others, saying the youngster is a Viet Cong and is based in a nearby village. Shortly afterwards, the prison?r commits suicide, TheAmericans bomb the village thenarrator named. The final irony comes when the village turns out to be a Viet Cong base and the narrator is restored to his military rank. The plot is finely drawn and the atmosphere of the interrogation room is enough to make anyone sweat. The book should make an excellent play or movie. This is a startling first novels go.

His theme was: “This is your university; it.” It was a soft sell, buttressed by the fact that the meeting was called by the university, took place on company time, and was held on company premises.

This paper has a new editor. But no matter how many editors the Chevron ever has, the one editor who may be rememberedlongest is Jim Nagel. It was he who provided the framework for the continually improving operation of the paper. It was Jim who provided the paper with its new-found pride and professionalism. And it was this pride and professionalism that en= abled the Chevron to become one of the best college newspaper in Canada before it was seven years old. During the two years he was editor the Chevron turned out more pages than in the combined 6 years previous. Jim has a long connection with this campus and this paper. In 1963, when it was still the old Coryphaeus, Jim joined the paper and soon became a member of its editorial board, under Dave Clark. Back then he was the only person to come out in favour of a full-time editorship, with the editor being a After that, part-time student. Nagel went to a Winnipeg Mennonite college (196&65.) It would not be until mid-1966 that the paper would get a full-time chief, by the name of Jim Nagel.

Jim came back in 1965 to finish his degree, and he became managing editor for Tom Rankin. Hewas a key man on the paper for as Rankin says: ctWithout Jim, the paper wpuld have fallen apart. The paper On the revolved around him.” was the supreme wwr, Navel technician making sure the paper came out the right way. When Jim decided to stay on for a makeup year, it was natural that he should become editor, even though he had competition in a rising campus journalist named Stew Saxe. So it was in May 1966 JimNagel found himself in charge of the Coryphaeus. It could hardly be called a great paper; only 24Opages had been published the previous year, and the staff was small. But Nagel felt he could do it and he knew he could always call on his predecessor for advice. From the beginning, thingswere different with Nagel. For the first time since the old days when engineers ran the paper, the Goryphaeus came out that summer. Jim was working in the shipping department of Schneider% meats, but he managed to grind out six fourpage issues of the paper,withSaxe driving up a couple times a week to help.

All these were recognized at the November ORCUP meeting when the new Chevron was the center of attention for the other Ontario papers, Many a Chevron staffer felt a little prouder when people from the smaller papers said they would pattern themselves after the new sensation from Waterloo. It was in the winter of 1967 that Nagel made his biggest mistakeas editor. The staff of the paper had been planning a gag issue like those of other campus newspapers. The work was not complete so Nagel made the error of permitting several of the gag stories to beprinted on the same page as regular news items. Hundreds of people were misled by the stories and Jim came under the heaviest fire of his career. He never forgot the criticisms he received and it was quite a while before he could admit his error. But admit it he did and he bounced back this March with a hilarious spoof of the Kitchener-Waterloo Record.

Jim Nagel was the boss .for two volumnes and and pages of the Chevron yet he never stopped always had a readjl quip. salaried. Student council had be come aware of the need for ahired editor, and Nagel was still the man best-suited for the job. The summer saw even more firsts for the Chevron.

It was the sum= mer the Chevron published its Expo supplement, the finest effort ever published in color by aCana= dian college newspaper. It was also a first in the way attention was paid to the subject of quality of education. Considerable space was devoted to articles by various persons on the running of the university. The success of the summer was continued into the fall with the

As September and October wore on, the paper seemed little different from that of the previous year. It was a little thicker and coverage of student council had expanded but it was dull paper. Then it happened. Nagel changed the name from Coryphaeus to the Chevron and he and half the staff quietly left town for an Ontario region Canadian University Press (ORCUP) conference. The campus was in an uproar, and the Chevron received dozens of letters on the name change, mostly m favourable. Nagel hadn’t intended that the change be permanent, but the board of publications found it+ self so enmeshed in politics that it decided to make it so. The change was the best thing that ever happened to the paper. Ad revenues soared and the spirits of the staff soared even higher. The emotional uplift given by the name change or at least by the fight that it provoked kept the paper rolling along at peak performance until February of 1967. Jim had a revitalized paper, and the paper had severalnew features that reflected this change: campus quickies, campus question, the monthly calendar and a greater tendency to horizontal layout,

Nagel was the last editor to work out’ of the old federation building, but he was glad to spend the last one of his twerltyfour months in the new campus center.

paper getting bigger and better as it went along. Finally, in April, it was all over for Jim Nagel. He had run the paper for two years. In the previous twelve months he had published at least once a month for a total of 38 isslues and a new record high. 584 pages, The Chevron under Nagelhadits faults. Towards the end of his term of office, it reflected its weariness. It was a paper merely abreast of the news, rarely ahead of it. Nagel himself recognized the paper’s lack of “orgelization” and before he left he was working on the mechanics of a training program for people who want to work for the Chevron. Jim has a few regrets. He feels he should have pushed quality of education more and perhaps greater use should have been made of academics in preparing the paper. He is also sorry that he could not have had a better working relationship with the math faculty which seemed always hostile. Still Jim feels he has much to be proud of. He created apaperwhich had the capacity to grow and improve coverage, He established strong ties with Canadian University Press by such means as promoting a telex system. In fact he might have been national president had he decided to seek the post last Christmas. What made him most proud was “seeing people come out of the woodwork,” he liked having a large diversified staff drawn from all sections of campus rather than a more efficient but less human group of pros, Nagel was not a great leader but in the Chevron, he created a q-steil that will produce the loj.al, well-trained Bworkers any ltl:rde,r needs.

Whither Well here it is, after a couple of single and double page fliers--one of which will remain nameless--the first Saxephone Chevron. What will things be like for the next twelve months? Well for one we hope they’ll be different. We’d like to try our hand at a few new ways of turning out a student newspaper. In the terms of our front page editorial-we’d like to investigate a new alternative. For far too long we feel that student papers have simply been trying to mirror the big dialies. The closer you got the better you were. But then where do ideas come from? We think that a university newspaper should be a proving ground for new ideas and outlooks, not just within our copy but in the way we handle the copy itself. We strongly believe that a university newspaper should be constructive in everything it does. It should honestly inform the readers of the news, and it should provide a forum for the discussion of the issues facing us. Generally we believe in leaving national issues to the national press who are best suited to handling them. As a campus paper, however, we hope to provide a medium for the study of the problems that our society faces, for where else, if not at an institute of higher learning, could such a study be as properly undertaken. Along with providing a news service and a home for wandering dialogues we also feel we have a watchdog function on campus. We will bark the loudest when we feel some individual or group anywhere in the super-bureaucracy

is infringing upon the rights of some other group or individual. And of course we will occassionally let it be known just what we think these rights should be. In all this be aware that we realistically hold objectivity to be a myth. In our news coverage we will strike to be objective and give you the facts. In our features we will try and make clear our apWe encourage dialogue proach. and have always tried to print all letters we receive-but everyone, including editors and reporters, has his own natural biasis. We expect to encounter opposi tion-if we don’t we’re probably not doing our job. But please try to remember when reading an article that you’re not objective either. If you’ve ever been involved rn a news story covered in the national press you should realize that we’re not as unprofessional as some people often think. And don’t expect us to be omniscient either, especially since we are still banned from attending the discussions of many of the real decision-making bodies on campus (they are usually called advisory committees). In this area all of you can help by giving us a call if you think you’ve run across some information we’d like. This is your newspaper-though at the present moment your paying for it only if your a student. If there is something you don’t like drop in and talk it over. If nothing else you can always buy an ad, though anyone can join the staff. And don’t be too hard on us for the next few issues-after all we just got our first new editor in two years. He’s got to be broken in.

Blaney’s boss -not David Blaney’s forced resignation as the chairman of the creative-arts board should bring about a long overdue investigation of that board’s relationship with students council. Since the council took over responsibility for the board and all its programs five years ago it would seem that Paul Berg, the board’s professional director, has been running his own little empire over there. No one can deny that Berg has been doing a good job, but he can’t consider overall federation priorities and policies and so he shouldn’t be in charge. Officially of course he isn’t. Each year the council appoints a board chairman to report to it and act as But up until its representative. Blaney these men where little more than Paul Berg’s delegates chosen from ithe obedient rank and file of board members. Their loyalty lay to Berg and the board not to the federation. Blaney was the first exception and now he’s gone, forced out by the total lack of cooperation he was receiving. We don’t think. council should have let this happen.

Berg

And we don’t want to imply that Berg alone bears the blame. To some degree we’re afraid that the final touches were applied by subordinates interested in Blaney’s job not only for persoanl aggrandizement but also as part of a continuing program to try and force upon the students of this university and organization that does not belong here. Council should move immediately to get the situation cleaned up and make it clear to the people at the creative-arts board office just who’s in charge. One confusion results from the university paying, the board’s staff salaries. This would be seen as a subsidy not as an indication to the staff who the boss is. Like all federation employees Berg should be responsible to the council through its board chairman. I If perchance the administration should balk at this thought, then give them back the program they couldn’t run when it was one-tenth its present size and save the students their $25,000. The program won’t suffer for long because they’ll soon have to either give it back to us on our terms or make up the difference.

Exit Dr. Eydt...and The resignation of Dr. Ronald Eydt as warden of the Village comes as a surprise. For Eydt has come to be identified more strongly with the Village than any dean or principal has with any .faculty or college, Part of it was the monarchial air he assumed, pretending au he did to treat the residents of his kingdom as serfs. Part of it was his dedication, because Eydt is crazy about students. And part of it was the tradition of classic blunders that he took the rap for. There has been no Villager who, having met Eydt, didn’t like him. This was shown in the spring of 1967 when a squabble over visiting regulations led to the brink of a strike and to a referendum containing a question on Villagers’ con: fidence in their warden. Their vote of confidence in the man was almost unanimous. But with his stand on visiting there was little agreement. When other revolts or skirmishes have occurred, leaders have always prefaced their remarks with “This isn’t against Dr. Eydt-he’s a great guy-but. . .” But what? But in spite of Eydt being a great guy there have been some colossal messes. Dress regulations, visiting rules, a constitution authoritarianly implemented, amendments to that constitution-which were properly presented to the warden-ignored and a dozen other minor incidents have marred the two-year term of the warden.

crew?

Sure, visiting and dress rules improved, but only after students took direct action and pressured the Village administration until it gave in. But the fault should be no means by laid entirely at Eydt’s doorstep. Perhaps his biggest fault was that he listened too much to his advisors, the tutors. Handpicked by himself, they proved to be a motley crew. Allan Nelson, political theorist who helped or at least watched Eydt devise and implement constitution which would make the Kremlin rejoice. John Capindale, who had the Village bootlegger in his quadrant, to everyone’s knowledge (and thus undoubtedly his own). Eydt took the rap for that one. Bill Nicoll, who boasted about “sucking in” the Village council revolutionaries 15 months ago and engineered the South quadrant sucession moves this year. Jim Van Evra, who by his actions in trying to run the east quad council showed the true feelings of the whole crew towards the self-government ideal they pay lip service to. It is doubtful whether any of the tutors would have the confidence of the students that Eydt had-they are too well known. Except that some administration is better than none at all, we would heartily suggest that the Village administration become retroactively a cabinet government. Cabinet ministers resign with the prime minister.
