The big weekends have jumped out of the bungled-concert rut thanks to members of the federation’s board of student activities. The board played a leading role in setting up a new system of block booking entertainment for Ontario universities. At an entertainment conference held here last weekend, ten universities agreed to set up a corporation to book entertainment for such university events as orientation and homecoming. This will avoid mixup’s that have long been a part of booking acts for university concerts. ._ Block booking means booking an act to play at two or three universities in succession. This cuts the price of a performance for each university. It also makes the bigger acts available since many of them will not play unless they
up for virtual elimination of the two-year old program. The council originally objected only to the means test, claiming a fair test would cost more to administer than free tuition. The students are taking no action now, but will prepare briefs ovef the summer. John Frecker, council president, says if no action is taken on the briefs by fall, the students will consider witholding their fees or boycotting classes. The free tuition and allowance scheme cost the government $2,5 million last year. Implementation of the means test is expected to lower expenses to $2 million. Frecker said, “The government is using the university as a political football. The premier announced free tuition a month be fore the last federal ‘election.b’

“People said then that he was buying votes. Now it looks as ti they were right. The university is being used.” The announcement of free tuition was made at a special ceremony, tie notice of the means test was given much less fanfare.

In March, the student-activities board invited other universities and community colleges to send their student-activity chairmen to a conference at Waterloo. The conference held seminars on orientation, homecoming, big formals and related problems. One seminar was concerned with block booking. The delegates decided to hold another conference at Waterloo concerned only with block booking. During the interim Waterloo offered to process contracts and arrange acts. They changed $50 to cover costs. The major opposition to block booking at the seminar came from the University of Toronto. Abraham Mudrik, chairman of Toronto3 s Blue and White Society,
Faculty may refuse to pay their next parking fee charge if the faculty association has its way. At its April 17 meeting the association passed a motion recommending that faculty refuse to SUM scribe to the fee after July 1. Professor Robert Huang, president of the association, said they had not yet decided what action to take if the fee is enforced- despite the faculty action, University president Gerry Hag==. ey has said it. would be impossible for the university to replace the funds lost by revoking the parking fee. ‘#The budgets of the service de partments have been reduced to bedrock with the result that if the monies to provide free parking were to be included in our total budget, practically all of it would have to be found in our academic budget,” he said. “You can postpone doing things there easier than in our service departments.” The fee has been an issue with the faculty since it was instituted last year, The association has twice prepared briefs on the topic, arguing that collecting the fee in fact caused most of the expense it was to cover. They felt thatfaculty and staff shouldn’t be charged for a necessary service. Huang emphasized that there are important principles at stake in the dispute. A month ago it appearedthefaculty had won. Operations council, the committee primarily responsible for the fee, decided to revoke the charge in a 10-3 vote.

The whole action is a case of administrative irresponsibility. “What they’ve done is say that they’ll take your recommendation only if they like it, What’s the use of having student and faculty re& resentation if the decisions are ignored.” Huang also attacked the size of the $24 fee. “To break even the fee should be about $12/ However the report prepared by a joint student, faculty and administration committee last fall showed that the fee would fall $16,000 short of covering maintenance costs for ‘67-‘68 and make about $4,000 this year--or about one dollar a space.

block bookings
The conference, studied two proposals for block booking. Oneproposal submitted by Queens called for yearly conferences of weekend chairmen, where all talent for the next year would be chosen and approved. The combined requirements would then be submitted to C~IX+ dian agents for tenders.. The best tender in terms of service would receive the right to book the dates, The other proposal was drafted by Waterloo and Lakehead. It would set up a corporation which would establish an office on some university campus, staffed by a hired buyer and a secretary. The buyer would coordinate tours and do all buying for the member schools. The Waterloo plan was accepted by ten universities and the office will be set up on a three-month trial basis. All campuses will advertise the position of buyer, Marty McGinnis, bookings assistant, estimated the office would
cost $12,000 a year to operate. Each school is putting in $100 to meet organization costs and $50 per a&. Six schools *c-Apported the Queens proposal. They are presently working out details. McGinnissaid the Waterloo group would maintain liaison with them. “Both plans will be on trial for the next few months,” saidMcGinI-&l
The block-booking office probably won’t be at Waterloo. Ryerson is one possibility but no decision has been made. Recchia’s job won’t be affected by the new bookings office. Hewill still coordinate all entertainment for federation events. A major feature of the last conference was a showcase of talent. Over 25 groups came at their own expense for the opportunity to sell themselves. Normal prices for the acts ranged from $150 to $1500. See page four,
Picketing

TORONTO (CUP&A dozen University of Toronto students joined a picket line last week in protest against 25 students who continued to work at summer jobs in the strikebound plant of Thermotex Windows in Woodbridge, The attempt led by Ontario Union of Students president Monique Oullette were picked up in company cars. Leopold Bertacchi, a union spokesman, said, “The thing that really bothers us on the picket line is seeing some of the students drive in their Triumphs and Mustangs while some of the strikers can scarcely afford a bus ticket to work? The students claim they need the money for school, but Bertacchi said, “There is always big daddy in the background to help outSome of these workers have six children to support?

Ron Eydt came back. And he’s going to stay awhile. Village warden Eydt returned from a Florida holiday to find his private resignation letter to provost Bill Scott was common knowledge. Eydt will remain as warden for the summer term. “I suggested June 30 as an effective (resignation) date but, if necessary, I will hold out until August,‘* he said Monday. “I want to devote more time to my laboratory, my lectures and my grad students. “Since I am being paid full-time by the biology department, the warden’s job can be described as moonlighting.” He refused to discuss other possible reasons for his resignation. Eydt is wearing many hats this summer. He is Village warden, tutor for houses east 5 and 6 associate chairman of the biology department, chairman of the science faculty council, a member of the engineering, math and science library committee and a member of the new council on student affairs. Eydt claims several achievements as warden. “When I was appointed, the warden had all the power. The tutors could fine and the warden could expel students.” Eydt said that he has since tried to delegate his power. He discusses all major issues with his tutors and bases mostofhis recommendations on these discussions. Since he and the tutors consider themselves as Villagers, he acts

If you walk into a discussionand he’s there, you immediately recognize Tom Faulkner as a leader. He has that undefineable something, call it charisma if you like, that makes him the focal point, although he doesn’t work at it. ’ Faulkner doesn’t seek glory, it just comes to him. As twicepresident of U of T’s students’ administrative council, he managed one of the largest and most influential student governments inCanada and did it with tremendous success. Faulkner could have been elected president of the CanadianUnion of Students or the Ontario Union of Students in 1966 or 1967, when he led the U of T delegation at the annual conferences. In both cases “Draft Torn” movements failed
Imperative
And he’s not unique. Douglas Ward, for ihstance, was in theology at Emmanuel College at U of T when he was president of the students’ administrative council in 1963-64. He went on to serve as president of the Canadian Union of Students in 1966-6’74 year when campuses dropped out of four the union, more or less on the grounds that it was taking stands on social issues that were none of its business.
plus
to move him from his decision to stay out of national or provincial office. He can sway an audience, not much with oratory, as with clear precise and well-reasoned argument and with a folksy touch that leaves the opposition smiling as it switches its vote. SO
Faulkner is a patient and kind man who has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy. Even after 23 strenuous months in office, he could be found patiently working with a small group of first-year students, helping them to come to their own realization of the ills of our society and its educational system. His contributions to the U of T campus and the Canadian student scene will be difficult to match.

Student power, for these students, is a moral imperative. “There are some things inlifeyou can’t delegate,” says Ward. “As a student you can? delegate intellectual and moral talking about what the university should be doing, For the student to assume that he is just a consumer of the goods of the unip versity, and to assume that it is just a neutral place, is quite naive and antihuman?

But issues were as confused as they usually are in elections and Faulkner says he’s under no illusion that the student body aa grees with him about DOW. And Faulkner knows his point of view is not the average student%. Hz recalls a fourth-yearpoliticalscience course in which he and a few class mates persuaded theprofessor to switch from lectures to seminars. The rest of the class complained they weren? getting nice lecture notes any more. And Vietnam? Faulkner says wryly that about two-thirds of U of T students “would like to turn Vietnam into a parking lot? His experiences regarding U.S. draft refugees are strikingly par= allel to Dr. Hard%. Around the time the evangelism and social service executive voted $1000 to help young Americans fleeing the draft, Faulkner and others were trying to persuade the student council to help organizations helping the refugees. The cries of outrage k church and university were similar: Hard or Faulkner had no right to speak for his constituency or commit its funds on such anissue. Eventually, the executive of the United Church’s geneti council told E & SS not to provide funds (c to proffer incitement or encouragement for young Americans to break the laws of their own country’* andthe U of T council in a close vote de feated a motion to support groups helping draft resisters.

Still, he is not promising that students will behave ti given power. “They might not be nice about it.” A case in point arose when the student newspaper, The Varsity, quoted a news story from a vicious &Ire on President Johnson.

Council voted a* gainst even a vote of censure. Faulkner voted on the losing side, in favour of censuring the paper, but says he now thinks the majority which prevailed was probably right. Some who voted against censure arguedthat the passage in question was itself highly offensive, but in the news story it helped readers understand what a controversy at McGill University was all about.
Faulkner% council has put little effort into seek@ student repr+ sentation on university boards. Its priorities are where the students are: trying to get democracy into places like the classroom and the residence “where students can be directly confronted with the need to establish power.”
But even if student power were to result in nastiness, Faulkner says that% better than the alternative. “1 don? want to live in a society where people won’t accept individual responsibility.

er is bad power Arts rep Cyril Levitt hit the nail on the head with his response to the annual cry of Grad Power at a student council budget meeting in March.
society promised. not to take their ill-gotten petition to president Hagey unless negotiations with the federation met with no success. Yet some grad execs have already been to Hagey with their cause, as reported in the April issue of Grad News. Now the grad society claims to have the support of grads in a threat to refuse to register in September and thus force the administration into submission. This is complete trash. If grads don’t bother to run for council or society seats, or even vote, how can the exec expect masses of support for such a childish move? It is evident that the grad society execs are concerned only with status and power. To grant the demands of this group would only result in irrepairable alienation in an already-fragmented university.
Levitt told grad society president Brad Munro “Go back and tell the seething hordes of grad students who have just begun to taste power that this council will not be blackmailed. ” This bushleague form of blackmail has characterized Grad POWer since it began in 1965. In that year the first proponents of the grad society held a referendum of grads which offered as choices for a grad organization complete independence or special status within the federation. They didn’t even offer regular membership in the federation as a possibility. The Grad Power leaflet of 1968 was of the same vintage. Filled with half-truths and occasional gross exaggeration, the grad exec used it to misinform their peers and request their support ,for a petition seeking control of the grad portion of the student-activities fee. The grad exee bases its demand for fee control on the supposed nonparticipation of grads in federation programs. But its own questionaire proves there is substantial participation. Further

Our continuing survey of Peugeot buyers proves consistently that the greatest number of Peugeots are purchased by college graduates. There is no great mystery why-Peugeot is built for the person who appreciates quality. This quality stands out in many ways such as at international car rallies which Peugeots have won with almost monotonous frequency throughout the world. Take our 204 model for example. Front w-heel drive, aluminum block, hydraulic clutch, power assisted front disc brakes, rear brake equalizer, are just a few of the features you will find in the remarkably advanced car. Also, you will find features which have already proved themselves in other Peugeot models, such as radial ply tires, thermostatic fan, stainless steel bumper and trim, and for your comfort, fully reclining seats, fresh air ventilators, and many more. If you are a college graduate, chances are you already own a Peugeot. If not, fill in the attached coupon and literature will be sent to you. . . for the future.
