The hottest campus in Canada slowly regaining its cool.

A sequence of events brought the mountain campus of Simon Fraser University close to eruption last week, beginning with a statement of censure by the Canadian Association of University Teachers two weeks ago.

Passed by the national executive council of the CAUT, the statement amounts to blackSFU’s listing the university . board of governors and administration were condemned for interference in academic affairs and president Patrick McTaggart-Cowan (McFog) was charged with faulty administration.

The CAUT called upon university professors not to accept or retain teaching positions at the university until improvements occur.

Reacting quickly to the censure resolution, SFU’s faculty voted 125 to 61 to demand McFog’s resignation.

Student pressure mounted with equal speed, as a mass meeting backed a list of eight demands including the firing of McFog and the chancellor their replacement by persons elected by students and faculty and complete democratic control of the university by the faculty and students.

Confronted with the faculty vote and mounting student unrest, the board of governors-under the thumb of BC Hydro magnate, chancellor Gordon Shrum -decided to ask McFog to take an “extended leave of absence.”

Dr. John Ellis, head of the department of professional foundations and associate dean of the faculty of education was named interim president.

Neither students nor -faculty regarded the board’s action as satisfactory.

Last Monday, the students voted 1361 to 289 to is

TORONTO (Staff)--“1 feel cheated”, said Ken Stone as he tore his honors poli-sci and economics degree at the Univer si ty of Toron to convocation Friday.

The Ontario Union of Students vicepresident had returned to the stage with his diploma after the arts degrees had been conferred.

The ushers struggled to remove him but John Sword acting president gave in to cries Of “Let him speak” and allowed Stone to use the microphones.

He then told the graduating students he thought his four university years had been meaningless.

Many reacted with booing but were stopped by Sword who told them to allow Stone the two minutes necessary to finish.

When noise quickly subsided, Stone shouted, ‘ ‘ Fellow nigger s, see what Mr. Charlie’s done to your minds?”

The remark was made in referrence to an article

by Jerry Farber titled ‘The student as nigger’ in which Farber compares the student to slaves of an authoritarian university structure.

He then tore his diploma in half and left the hall.

Stone later explained his di staste for the education system.

“It is directed toward the socialization of the student and not toward human development.”

He said there should be less emphasis on memorization of facts and more emphasis on interpersonal relationships.

He was disappointed with audience reaction.

He said they were rather naive.

“The action affected the grads most because it hit them the hardest”.

Many criticized Stone for speaking out in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

Stone said he was looking for this impact.

“If no one ever stood up, nothing would ever be heard.”

Western students

ups tuition, threaten fight

LONDON (Special)-Student leaders at the University of Western Ontario are fighting the raise in tuition fees announced by their board of governors on Tuesday.

Threats of strikes and sit-ins were made after students rejected as unaceptable the $25 raise in fees.

Student council president John Yokum attacked the board of governors for unila tera 1 decisionmaking and said that the university governing structure must change.

Giles Ouellette, student council finance commissioner at Western said, “If the board does not decide to lower the fee there will be hell to pay in September when the students come back.

They’re going to turn this campus upside down. ” Ouelette accused the board of

acting in the best interest of itself and not the students.

It’s much simpler to pass the projected deficit on to the passive unresisting students than it is to replace inefficient personnel in the higher administrative echelons. ” The raise in fees opposes a longstanding student council policy at Western that tuition fees should be abolished.

Students are now trying to rally support of the faculty association for their demands.

There is no chance of a fee raise at Waterloo this year however as the tuition rates have already been set by the board of governors at their April meeting.

Federation president Brian Iler said, “the fee increase at Western is just raising another barrier higher education for the lower classes.”

demand the board’s resignation.

A majority also voted in favor of boycotting classes and establishing a liberated university in the unoccupied rooms and lecture hall. This strike vote, however, failed to attain the necessary two-thirds.

Percy Smith, CAUT executive director, said that the board’s action in firing the President was not sufficient to prompt withdrawal of the censure.

Later the same day, Ellis resigned as interim president and Dr. head MacPherson, Archibald of the geography department and dean of arts, was nominated by the faculty to replace him.

MacPherson said he would seek to have his appointment approved by the students before going to the board for ratification.

Tuesday, students refused to back MacPherson’s nomination for temporary acting president.

MacPherson apparently intends to seek approval by the board in any event.

Even if MacPherson were appointed by the board, SFU’s presidency game would not be complete.

The next step would be the selection of a permanent acting president..

A committee of five faculty members is being elected to consult with the board on choice of SFU’s fourth president.

The students have not yet been approached on the matter.

Student leaders are now considering further action.

They are disappointed that the strike vote fell short of the two-thirds mark.

The student council had earlier decided that a simple majority would be sufficient support to warrant strike action, but confusion during the voting led to the application of the twothirds rule.

SFU’s student council is headed by longtime radicals Martin Loney, Jim Harding and John Conway, as president and first and second

r resign vice presidents, respectively.

11 of 13 council candidates on the radical slate were elected.

Their election platform included proposals for the step-by-step democratization of the university, to begin with tearing down the walls between faculty and student lounges.

Simon Fraser has a tradition of being one of the most radical campusesin English Canada.

Last year, a five-day general strike resulted in the reinstateent of several teaching assistants who had been suspended for political activity in the Burnaby high schools.

Although relative calm has returned to the campus, many predict that it will only be The student leaders temporary. tend to view the current events as only one part of a long drive for the liberation of the university.

With the help of four CUS field workers, they are now planning the next stages of their campaign.

Brian Iler, president of the Federation of Students sent a telegram of solidarity to the SFU student council.

He said, “The basic problems which underly the press nt disturbances at Simon Fraser exist here, as well as at every other university: an obsolete system of government with ultimate power concentrated in the board of governors-which is dominated by outside business interests.

Here, the student representatives on the university government study committee are pressing for student-faculty control of the university and the abolition of the board of governors.

“It is my hope that a restructuring of the university along democratic lines can be accomplished here without the type of disturbance we’ve seen at Simon Fraser-or Columbia University in New York-in the past weeks.”

Another kind of rip: Bill Chalmers, arch 1 B, got three slashed tires in the temporary Village parking lot beside the security office.

It was one of several slashings in 2 weeks.

given

I was asked when I arrived this ’ morning to speak at the counter-demonstration.

It was hoped -that my presence-and the presence of a rock bandwould draw students away from the Dow . Chemical demonstration and help prevent violence.

Now, I am strongly opposed to left-wing violence; I don’t think throwing steer’s blo’od and breaking windows and urinating on the Pentagon is-an effective way of winning the hearts and minds of the charging American people. That approach-the into crowds, the beating up of bystanders, the indiscriminate assault on private and government property-is only effective when used by the government. In any case, I am morally opposed to the use of violence by either side: the aggressor or the aggressed upon.

So I asked for some information about the _ situation at San Jose State.. Well, I was told that / last year you had a riot. I thought that was bad and asked how ( the riot happened to get started.

I was told that the riot began when the police * came on earnpus, and that tear gas was used. I naturally assumed that the tear gas was used by the demonstrators because as we all ,know from press reports of the march on the Pentagon, all those kids had tear gas cannisters.

The u~se of tear gas and Mace to dispel attacking police is a well. known left-wing tactic.

However, in this case, I was informed that the tear gas had been used by the police-and the hope was that a counter-demonstration would cool the present situation and prevent the police from having to take action. So I became sympathetic to the counter-demonstration.

I assumed it was to be against the presence of the police on campus.But

no. It was to be against the presence of students on campus.

I asked if the administration had asked the police to please stay off campus this time?

No. You can’t ask the police to stay off campus. It’s a violation of their civil liberties.

I asked if after the last demonstration did the administration condemn the role of the police and the use of tear gas? No. The president might lose his job if he did that. Was Dow Chemical asked That would violate Dow to stay away?

No. Chemical’s civil liberties.

Was the NLF offered the campus so that it too could set up a recruiting table? No. The NLF’s civil liberties are being taken care of by Dow Chemical.

Besides, it wasn’t fair to keep Dow Chemical off campus when only one percent of its industrial plant went to making napalm.

I wondered what would be a good percentage?

If Dow chemical used two percent or five percent of its industrial plant to make napalm, would that. be reason enough to keep it off campus? Twenty-five percent?

Fifty percent. 3 Or should we wait until Dow starts making gas ovens? One percent napalm, one percent gas ovens. Qnly two percent of Dow’s industrial plant contributed to genocide. Besides, what percentage of the world’s population did gas ovens kill?

Not much.

Anyhow, all wars kill people.

I carefully considered all this information and decided that it was incumbent upon me to take a stand. So I have suggested that the most effective way to handle future demonstrations is to ask the Justice Department to invoke the anti-riot provision of the Civil Rights bill-that provision which makes it a federal crime to cross State lines with intent to incite riot and violence. I suggested they arrest the Dow Chemical Corporation.

talk

The Ontario Union of Students tackled major problems at a Toronto conference last week.

Housing, tuition fees student discipline and student scabbing all came under delegates’ fire.

OUS is advocating joint housing projects for low-income citizens and students. The delegates felt the student housing difficulties should be viewed as part of the overall Canadian housing problem.

They expressed dissatisfaction with present housing conditions and recommended long-term planning and greater diversification for student housing.

The conference considered having students witholding 10 percent of their tuition until fees are ‘abolished, as a means of attaining universal accessibility.

Delegates rejected this action because it hit the universities rather than the bosses-the provincial government.

.

OUS OUS adopted a student discipline resolution demanding that “the jurisdiction of the university over its members shall extend only so far as to include those matters which are not held in common with the Canadian judicial system and impinge directly and exclusively on the functioning of an educational institution.”

The OUS executive was concerned about “student scabbing”.

At the Thermo-Tex plant in Toronto three weeks ago, OUS president Monique Oullette and other representatives picketed against student scabbing at the plant during a strike.

“No person, OUS believes, student or non-student, may work in a plant at which there is a legal strike, and condemns all who do accept jobs in such a plant during such a strike.” said the resolution adopted as official policy.

we’re ahead of most places. We tackled some fundamental questions and discussed some significant changes.”

However, student reps are known to be disappointed with the pace and quality of the committee’ s debates.

Ireland said, “We’ve had a lot of votes with the three students against the rest. A lot of questions have never really been resolved. ”

Moir quits pubs post Federation president Brian Iler has received another resignation from his executive board.

Gecff Moir resigned as chairman of the board of publications Monday. He is the second resignation from Iler’s three-monthold administration-Dave Blaney had to resign a month ago as as creative-arts chairman because of conflict with the creative-arts office staff.

“After three months as publications chairman, Geoff felt he would be better suited to helping the federation in other areas,” said Iler.

treaIler has appointed surer Joe Givens as acting chairman until applications can be invited and the position filled formally.

The creative-arts position is also being filled in an acting basis- by student-activities chairman John Koval.

Is Iler trying to imitate Pierre Trudeau’s cabinet-filling methods?

The new prime minister manufactured his q u i c k 1Y cabinet back in April by putting his abler-bodied men in dual portfolios.

Aside from Seagram stadium, there are only two fields available: Bauer field (beside the Co-op’s Hammar house) and the present Columbia field adjacent to the grad house.

Bauer field is the site of married student residences that will probably be started next spring.

The athletic and phys-ed departments are already tight for field space and the new Columbia field space and the new Columbia field would have to be avail,able in the fall to equal present facilities.

Physical-plant and planning director Bill Lobban said an ultimate plan for phys-ed facilities on the edge of the north campus has been completed and “We are only waiting approved. to clear the money to go ahead,” he said.

Because of the slope in the area, it would cost too much to leave the grad house. A retaining wall would have to be built that would cost as much as the field itself, said Lobban.

It was rumored one math 130 prof went on holidays and didn’t hand in his marks, possibly delaying several hundred firstyear mark reports.

The story is partly true. Arthur Beaumont, assistant mathematics said, “One man did leave, and he had his papers marked, but wanted to add in his term marks.

However, the situation has been blown out of proportion.

No first year marks are being held up because of this”.

All the marks are in, and the examinations and promotions meeting for the faculty of mathematis is today.

Registrar, Trevor Boyes said

that the processing of marks is “in pretty good shape right now and the marks should be out a week to ten days earlier than last year”.

Peter Roos of the registrar’s office revealed that although a few profs got their marks in late, arts will be holding their examinations and promotions meeting early next week and all the other faculties are holding theirs today.

Boyes declared, “The only thing that can kill us now is machine failure in the processing of marks.”

Roos guesstimated the marks for arts undergraduates would be sent out early in the week of June 17 and the others the end of next week.

Student leaders decided to meet that night in City College to discuss how the various campuses in the New York area should respond to the events at Columbia. It was decided each campus would be responsible for its own operations but campuses should provide all the assistance the Columbia students desired. On the wishes of the leaders of the Columbia students, a crowd gathered that afternoon and completely surrounded Columbia, demonstrating the university was totally in the hands of the students.

Levitt

My vacation in New York City was to be an uneventful affair far removed from the activity of student politics and intrigue.

I was to spend a peaceful week stationed at the Brittany, a dormitory of New York University deep in the heart of the East Village.

Indeed, things started out quietly enough. I spent the first two days, Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28th adorned in peace beads roaming through Manhattan’s Lower East side.

Then I read reports concerning the events at Columbia University.

At that time, more than five hundred students had barricaded themselves in five buildings on the Columbia campus.

I knew two of the issues involved in their demonstration were Columbia’s affiliation with the Institute for Defense Analysis, a giant “think tank” for the defense department and a gym to be built by Columbia on the site of a community park and recreation area in Harlc m.

Late Sunday night I phoned a friend, a graduate history student at Columbia.

His roommate said my friend was inside Fayerweather Hall, the “liberated” graduate social science building. I commandeered a car from a friend and drove to Columbia.

Columbia University is built in a box, bordered by 115th street and 117th street on the south and north, -tnd by Broadway and Amsterdam Ave \n the west and east. The two main entrances are situated opposite each other on Broadway and Amsterdam Ave, each consisting of a iron and concrete barrier about twelve feet high and heavy iron gates which can be shut to keep people out.

When I reached Columbia that night the gates were shut aght and the university was surrounded by police carrying nightsticks and armed to the teeth.

The heaviest concentration of cops was at the gates where there were some four or five dozen. I circled the block for many minutes looking for some place to make an entry. It was impossible, the police were doing an admirable job. Not wishing to risk a confrontation which might embarrass my government I decided to withdraw, seeking the safety and security of the East Village.

The

cop bust comes Early the next Tuesday morning, WABC news announced more than 1,000 police had moved into Columbia during the night and had removed the students from the buildings.

The halls of New York University were buzzing with conversations and rumours about the “cop bust”.

48 TheCHEVRON

A protest demonstration was called by h.xlent groups in the New York area for 1 pm that afternoon outside the Amsterdam entrance to Columbia. I arrived there with two friends from York University shortly after 7 p.m. Several thousand students had massed in front of the gates of the university listening intently to the highly charged speeches from student leaders standing on a balcony overlooking the street.

Mark Rudd, the charismatic leader of Columbia students for a democratic society (SDS), cut a dashing figure as he made his way to the portable speaker system and a wild round of applause broke from the crowd. The cheers turned into a chorus of “Strike!

Strike!” as the students stretched their arms into the air and waved the victory sign.

Rudd invoked past revolutionary images in a damning speech directed at those corporate interest he said were responsible for setting the police upon the students in the buildings.

But he cautioned against storming the gates of Columbia since the power of the police at that point would have made any such attempt foolhardy.

Indeed hundreds of police were clearly visible. All carried a dangerous assortment of weapons. Some were on horseback, others on motorcycles, and still others were in the dozen of buses which the police had used to rush reinforcements to the scene. I have never seen such vicious looking characters as these “tactical police force” men.

They all stood over six feet tall, covered in leather from head to toe, content to paranoically clean the silvered lenses of their sunglasses-at least for a while.

“Don’t mourn-organise!”

Rudd concluded his speech with the final words of Joe Hill, the famous songwriterorganizer of the Industrial Workers of the World, the Wobblies, prior to his execution before Utah firing squad.

“Don’t waste time mourning-organize! ” The mourning was obviously in refer ence to those students who had suffered from the effects of police brutality the night before in the buildings.

When I had previously read reports of brutality, I tended to dismiss them as exaggerated.

Yet, I had the proof before my very eyes. It was a sickening sight.

Girls don’t look pretty with bloodied bandages wrapped around them. The cops used a new technique.

They wrapped their handcuffs around their fists as they smashed the students across their faces. Most were lucky to escape with cuts and gashes. One boy wasn’t so

strike

I left the meeting at City and phoned Peter Nack, president of the student council of the State University of New York at Stonybrook, and asked him about the reaction on his campus. He said a meeting was in progress concerning the Stonybrook reaction and that I would probably read about it in the papers. His prophecy came true. The next day I read students at Stonybrook had occupied the administration building there to demonstrate their solidarity with the striking Columbia students.

I then telephoned my friend from Columbia who had taken part in the liberation of Fayerweather Hall. I asked how he was and he poetically replied, “Brother, I’m walkin’ and talkin’with my mind set on freedom”.

Apparently, he had suffered some abuse during the police raid.

“One cop”, he said “proceeded to painfully break my arm while another stole my watch.”

He informed me that the police had confiscated more than $15,000 worth of student property and belongings.

He agreed to meet me the next morning at 8 am in the coffee shop at the corner of 116th street and Broadway and explain everything over a cup of coffee.

In the morning, we settled down to that long overdue talk. Staring out across the street at the dozens of cops in front of the gates, Mark began to brief me on the history and meaning of the developments which led to the bloody scene the day before.

“The gym and Columbia’s affiliation

with IDA have always been important issues with radicals and liberals on campus. Yet, it wasn’t until the start of this year that any serious confrontations occurred. As the school year opened, the campus newspaper, the Spectator, depicted SDS as an organization declining on the campus.

It was then that Mark Rudd was elected to the leadership of SDS bringing a new vigour and sense of maturity to the organization. ” Rudd, together with Paul Rockwell, editor of the Gadfly, a campus journal, and others consolidated the membership of SDS into an organization to be reckoned with. During the course of the year, Columbia SDS led the fight against recruiting on campus by Dow Chemical, the CIA and the military.

In a dramatic move, a member of SDS threw a pie in the face of the New York chief of the draft board, thereby desanctifying one of the ____-_____-__-_-----------------Whose democratic right to recruit?

most hated institutions in America.

It was the Columbia SDS people who went to Dow Chemical’s offices and recruited employees of that company for the SDS. Yet, the actions were still localized to a small segment of the student body.

“In April, Dean Coleman put a ban upon indoor demonstrations when SDS announced that it planned a peaceful protest inside the halls of Low Library.

When the protesters found themselves locked out of the library, they marched en masse to theconstruction sight of the new gym in Morningside park, in Harlem.

Now, Columbia University has always pursued an agressive and imperialistic policy in relation to Harlem.

The university administration has acquired over the years the tenements in Harlem which border on the university grounds for expansion of the Columbia area. The tenants had organized themselves into a committee to protest the treatment they received by the administrator-slumlords of the university.

“However, their pleas went unanswered. The gym in this respect was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

a part of the Harlem community and Columbia’s actions showed an arrogance and unconcern which angered the community.

Protests and other channels being effectively closed, SDS accompanied by members of the SAS (Students Afro-American Society, a local Black Power group), smashed the construction barriers in the park and proceeded to obstruct the act of construction.

The police were called and six of the demonstrators were arrested.

.

A dean becomes a hostage “To protest their grievances, the SDS and the SAS marched into Hamilton Hall, a classroom building, looking for Dean Coleman.

The black students decided that they would hold the dean hostage to dramatize their plight and in retaliation for the arrest of their comrades.

Most of the white students were content to hold freedom classes in the building and wished to free the dean. Friction developed between the white and black radicals, the latter claiming that the whites really weren’t on their side.

“Luckily Tom Haydn had arrived from Newark and mediated the dispute (Haydn was the first president of SDS and perhaps the most respected individual in the New Left today). About six am the white students moved out of Hamilton and occupied Low Library.

Barricades were erected in both the buildings.

When students arrived on campus the next morning, many were confused by the turn of events. A group of architecture students met and decided to liberate Avery Hall, the architecture building. This was accomplished and the barricades went up.

Another group of SDS students liberated the mathematics building and radical graduate students liberated FayerweaQher Hall “The coordinating committee made its headquarters in Ferris Booth Hall, the student union building, where a list of six demands were drawn up the primary one being that amnesty be granted to all demonstrators as a precondition to negotiations with the administration.

The students reasoned that the university houses the university community and that they, the students, were perhaps the most integral part of that community.

Why should they be punished for occupying their own buildings?

Are they students at the univessity only between those hours that the buildings are open as defined by the administration?

“The students believed the university should be defined by the faculty and students, those most directly involved in the educative process, and not by the administration who represent the wishes of those corporate chieftains on the board of trustees whose stake in the university is motivated by self-interest and profit.

Faculty as mediators “The faculty largely played a conciliatory role at this time. Most faculty members were dismayed by the events.

A good portion of them sympathized with the students demands although they deplored the tactics used. However, their feeling generally was not sympathetic to the students. People who have a great stake in the system by nature tend to regard an attack upon the system as a personal threat. Yet there was a small proportion of radical faculty people in the occupied buildings.

“Another group of students began to organize against the occupants of the buildings. It called itself the majority coalition and consisted mainly of phy s-ed majors (locks), engineers and fraternity members (frat rats). This group of about three hundred surrounded the buildings and tried to prevent food from reaching the students- inside by cutting bff their supply lines. If it hadn’t had been for the several hundred faculty separating the two groups, bloodshed would certainly had taken place.

If you were a member of the majority coalition, you wore .a blue or green armband, If you were a member of the faculty keeping the peace between the groups, you sported a white colour.

“Most of the students on the campus were sympathetic to the aims of the occupants of the buildings. However, like the faculty, they were in disagreement with the tactics employed.

The liberals just didn’t understand that we have been smashing our heads against brick walls for years by going through channels that are power-oriented to favor the top, the interests of the administration and hence the board of trustees.

We did the only possible effective thing under the circumstances.

It was indeed a difficult moral decision. What is one to do when responsible action as defined by the powers in the university (or society) leads down blind alleys?”

After pausing for a few moments to discuss some important issues with a fellow student; Mark began to describe the scene of the night of the bust.

“We were about to go to sleep when Fe heard the- rumor the police were on their way to get us. We had been expecting this for a long while. Our black brothers in Hamilton Hall had refused to sell us out even with the generous offers made by the administration.

We knew that if the cops tried to bust the black students in Hamilton Hall that the various groups in Harlem would make good their promise to bun Columbia to the ground.

“Hamilton Hall was the first to go.

The cops entered by way of an underground tunnel, led by a clack informer who had spent some time with the students in the building. Apparently the police heeded the warning of the black group in Harlem, for the building was evacuated in an almost cordial atmosphere-the blacks were gingerly carried into the paddy wagons. However, Fayerweather Hall, the next to be hit, did not escape with as light a touch.

ATTENTION! “There are two short service roads for the student Village on the east and the west sides.

Both of them are turnarounds or cul-de-sacs and both are clearly marked as ‘no-parking’ areas, They are only to be used for service vehicles and by residents of the Village who may use them for very short periods for loading or unloading purposes The no-parking restriction in these cul-de-sacs has been continually violated and, as a result, it has been necessary to institute stronger action against offenders.

The cars which are parked in these roadways for excessive periods of time, i.e. upwards of an hour, will be towed away.

This is consistent with the parking and traffic regulations of the University which state that cars may be towed away which are parked in loading zones, service areas, in clearly posted noparking areas, etc.”

Christianity which is a “culture religion’ ’ 7 a gloss on a thinly disguised, brutally materialistic society. You may be surprised to find that the harshest criticisms in this vein are made by those from within the believing community. No doubt Christian faith as we have all known it has been diluted, or even spoiled for us by a superstitious overlay.

Updating can be mere patch-ups. But it may be genuine prophecy-not predictions, but prophecy of the biblical genre, a means for God’s renewal of his work in the world.

Would you seriously commend as less superstitious the notion that we can or shall find “a set of ethics based on a universally acceptable rationale”’ a kind of moral Esaperanto, an artificially devised language of effective citizenship?

Which of us will be constrained by this, when it hurts?

Is there no validity to the Hebrew-Christian orthodoxy which sees a critical distortion at the centre of man’s reality, a “bentness”, as C.S. Lewis called it, which distorts reason so readily into rationalization?

Might it not be better to hope that, for all its flaws, flabbiness and failings, the Hebrew-Christian orthodoxies might be renewed, since they have so often been a source of inspiration for the moral passion you sense we need?

I cannot muster much confidence that an artificially contrived rational ethic can offer the resources needed to oppose modern superstition.

It might be worthwhile to review the history of the struggle in Germany against the sweeping power of the anti-Christian (and patently anti-Hebrew) mythologies

ethic of Jesus of Nazareth, even when we recognize the truth and necessity of obedience to those demands.

But should Hebrew-Christian orthodoxies be written off so readily as superstition?

Surely the concern for the hungry, the disadvantaged, and the politically and economically powerless, a concern you champion, stems more directly from such orthodoxy than from any other source.

And you recognize the poverty of the available alternatives for decisive moral action.

Who will persuade anyone to accept the cost of a “more basic humanitarianism” or the application of “more worth to the individual as an individual”, or a “common love of one’s fellow man”?

They are costly ideals indeed. One must have a pretty coherent answer to the question “What is man?” if he is to be an advocate of a demanding ethic of service and concern. But where are we to learn the definitive answer to the nature and destiny of man?

f eec jack I welcomed the concern for world poverty expressed in The Survival of Man (May 24th, 1968) and the sobering quotations which accompanied your editorial. These are surely the determinative issues of our era: soaring population s, staggering economic di sparities, imminent famine on a heretofore undreamed of scale, and awareness of our moral inadequacy to meet the demands posed by such problems.

I am puzzled, however by the gratuitous inclusion of a prediction that the Hebrew-Christian faith is doomed, finally to be recognized as irrelevant superstition.

Perhaps you intend only to echo the similar predictions of the past ventury or more, some made sadly (Hardy) some bitterly (Marx), some with glee (Nietzsche), some dispassionately (Freud) faith in a complex cultural situation.

Or perhaps you meant to state a recognition of the end of any that the casual assumption Christian faith provides an automatic ethic for the easy and nattural exercise of North American or world citizenship.

any between 1933-45. Highly regarded German humanistic ethics failed to provide the resources for courageous resistance and martydrdom.

Only two “countersuperstitions”, if that is how they must be designated, were sufficiently powerful and resilient to provide the resources for resistance to the far from rational but powerfully appealing pseudo-ethic of Naziism : a profoundly realistic Christianity, found among both Protestants and Roman Catholics of highly orthodox persuasion, and an optimistic Communism (this was prior to the expose of the true character of Stalinism).

You say it cannot happen here?

But, on page 5 of the same issue a headline reads “a militant right may be answer to activist left”.

Frankly, I am far less apprehensive of the full implications of the rise of the activist left than the propsect of a surge to power by the militant right. Surely the new rationalist humanism for which you appeal must consider with deadly seriousness the danger posed by the irrational mythologies which seem to accompany rightist movements.

Is there any reason to believe that a quarter of a century after the encounter between the church and the rightist mythology of Naziism there is a better basis for opposition to tyranny and for dedication to effective humanistic service than that afforded by the Hebrew-Christian understanding of man’s true humanity and his responsible place in the cosmos?

The Waterloo fastball Warriors showed a great improvement Wednesday night as they maintained an early lead to defeat Kent Hotel 13-7. Two new players, shortstop Ron Nichols and outfielder Lorne John son, helped the team get on its feet after three straight losses.

After giving up one run in the first inning, the school squad quickly took over the lead.

Nichols hit a triple to send in Lawless, and Johnson drove in Nichols with a single to give the Warriors a 2-l margin.

The Warriors threatened to increase their lead in the second inning as pitcher Louis Angema hit a double with one man on putting runners on second and third.

The threat was snuffed, however, as the side was retired with two men left on base.

In the top of the third, Hotel took a 3-2 lead with two runs on two walks and a triple.

The Waterloo squad was quick to retaliate as Pete Geuvrement started off the bottom of the third with a triple.

Brian Krulicki brought him in with a single to tie the score 3-3. One walk and two batters out left men on second a d third. Two more walks brought yet another run in a-nd left the bases loaded. This time the Warriors capitalized with a double by, Jerry Lawless to make the score 6-3.

Good infielding in the fourth inning restricted the Kent to one run.

The Warriors faced a new pitcher in their half of the fourth but it didn’t seem to bother them. Geuvrement got to first when the Kent catcher dropped the ball on the third strike.

Two walks loaded the bases.

With three on base and two out Don Scott was called in to pinch hit.

He pulled through with a double that drove in three runs increasing the Warrior lead to five runs.

Once again the bases were loaded with another walk and a base hit by Angema.

The War-

riors fanned this chance when the next batter went down swinging.

The opposition was kept scoreless in the fifth with two quick infield snatches and a running grab by Johnson in deep left field.

Once again Geuvrement lead off the Warrior fifth with a double.

Krulicki drove him in with a triple and was in turn driven in by a Johnson single.

Don Mervyn’s hit put two men on base but this time the Waterloo squad didn’t come through and the two men were left on base.

In the sixth inning, Don Scott replaced Angema on the mound and was charged with .protecting the 11-4 lead.

He started off slowly‘as Kent loaded the bases with a single and two walks. The infield helped him out however and the Hotel was held scoreless in this frame.

Waterloo didn’t fare much better as they went down three in a row.

With the pressure on in the seventh, Kent drove in three run-s on three hits and a walk to make the score 11-7. Don Scott struck out two batters in the frame.

In the bottom of the seventh Krulicki hit a long ball over the centre field fence for the only homer of the game.

Two outfield catches and a fast infield play blanked the Kent in the top of the eighth.

In the Warrior half of the inning the Warriors earned another run as Scott, on base with a single, was driven in with a single from Geuvrement, making the score 13-7.

In their final turn at bat, the Hotel team earned a double and a walk but failed to change the score of 13-7.

Both the offensive and defensive play of the Warriors showed much improvement over the previous game.

The reshuffled infield exhibited good fielding which lasted throughout the game.

Coach and first baseman Don “elbows” Mervyn, third base-

man Brian Krulicki, and second sacker Pete Geuvrement led the infield, while rookie Ron Nichols displayed all-star skill.

In the outfield, centre fielder Jerry Lawless made two spectacular running catches to cut off possible Hotel threats. His efforts were examples of the heads up play of the entire team.

Two wins last week put the Warrior soccer team in undisputed possession of first place in the K-W Industrial League. .The team is undefeated in 4 starts.

They blanked Uniroyal 4-O on Wednesday of last week with Reid scoring a pair of goals.

On Monday a 2-l decision over 2nd place Concordia put them on top of the league.

In the game against Concordia Dave Day scored the first counter and Bob Blain netted the winner.

last Sunday at Columbia field.

The Toronto team, currently on top of the 2nd division in the Toronto Metro League, had too much experience for the War-’ riors.

They dominated the play. Only the solid work of the Warrior fullbacks and some good goaltending by Steve Bedford kept Toronto from filling the net. Toronto finally scored in the closing minutes of the second half.

This goal proved to be the winner as the Warriors lost 1-O. A strong wind hampered the passing attack on both teams and produced some close calls on curving corner kicks.

As an undergraduate student I watched many friends receive their degrees via television from a second-floor classroom.

I felt sickened and ashamed that such a thing could happen at Waterloo.

We have reached a sorry state when our most important assets, our graduates, and their parents ,are shunted into the background to accomodate the purse holders from Queen’s Park.

There is no justification for a setup that requires mothers and fathers to photograph a television screen in a vain attempt to record their son or daughter receiving his or her degree.

A new French Revolution is in the making.

Students and workers have risen in protests against alleged grievances--educational, economic, politic al. We witnesses from across the seas have been fascinated at the prospect of a replay of history.

Some of us are troubled by it, others overjoyed.

An academic colleague from another discipline is neither disturbed nor happy but intrigued by a larger question.

He wonders whether the revolt in France is not part of a larger picture of social unrest in the world of students in California, New York, and Prague; of Negroes in the United States; of French Canadians.

All these groups seem to be challenging the status quo for what they consider to be their unattained rights.

Now this c&ague has noted that the students and the workers, the French Canadians and even the Negroes are relatively better off than the deprived masses of India and Latin America.

Yet the latter who is somewhat So my colleague, peoples are not in revolt. skepticalof sociology, has pressed me to explain the meaning of this paradoxical situation.

My inclination has been to refuse: I am not an expert in the sociology of political or social movements.

But I too am intrigued: it seems an important question and a difficult one.

Too often the layman’s suspicion that the sociologist spends much of his time investigating the obvious is not wholly without justification.

Besides, the question my friend has asked has implications for the politics of academia.

It has been observed that professors in the more well-established universities and colleges, with the greatest guarantees of academic freedom, are the most jealous guardians of that freedom.

And professors at institutions of the higher learning that pay . the highest salaries are the most active in protecting their .

And anyway everyone likes purple bills better than green ones.

And anyway, there never have been any people made that are green.

Oh, yes and if you are or have been or are intending to be a golfer you know that people like to spend as little time as possible on the green-I mean as few strokes-as possible on the green.

And since the University of Waterloo is located in a primarily Deutsch Burg it is only reasonably that we be prejudiced against the patriotic colour of the Irish.

Don’t you think it would be a swell idea if we substituted the overused colour of green with the new psycadillic wonder colour-in-vogue commonly know as SQUEUSCH! We could have squeuschcoloured pains of glass and squeusch-coloured sidewalks and squeusch-coloured people and squeusch-coloured examination books and squeusch coloured envelopes for our marks (make a note of that Clever Trevor) and squeusch-coloured brochures adverti sing the fundraising campaign and squeuschcolored parking tickets and et cetera et cetera ad infinitum in the name of the everlasting producer of the phrase et cetera ad infinitum .. . . stocks very inactive in the past few days of passive suspense.. . .and there are two sides to a hole (just as in an argument) your side and the other side:-which one are you on?

More recently, we have noted your bombasity in the 2B physics episode.

Though the students involved were willing to accept the demise of their stream of the co-op plan, you had the gall to tell them they were being screwed by the administration.

You were ready to take up your self-styled banner and fight the glorious fight against the establishment.

You then printed the story even though the matter was not entirely settled. And you knew it.

Last week, the latest installment of the kampus kop konflict appeared as a campus quickie.

The cul-de-sac areas at the Village are constructed for the easy access of emergency vehicles, especially fire trucks.

Still you made a huge deal out of the fact that a car was towed away last Monday night.

However, you neglected to explain why.

Instead, you turned on the tears and asked if a student would be driven home if his car was impounded.

You were satisfied, once again, to portray the security department as evil green villains.

These are only a few examples of the overall cynic attitude which we believe pervades the Chevron.

Maybe we students are being screwed by the administration.

But please, please get your facts straight.

As things stand now, cynic copy comes first.

The administration’s side comes last.

And the truth lies somewhere in between.

hg. sees two societies but questions neither Your Daily Star reprint was fascinating and quite enlightening about our new president and his outlook toward the co-op plan.

(May 10, Iler says he’s shortchanged. ) I most heartily agree with what Iler says except for one thing.

The co-op engineer (or any student) can pick up more about humanities than straight students.

This is true since the co-op undergrad can look at the company and the people who compose it as an outsider while living with them.

I must admit though, there is one downfall to this idea. That is that he becomes industrially oriented and usually comes to the point of not questioning society and looking for possible solutions but becomes one of them--the rats of the rat race.

As long as Br’Iler keeps in mind that some co-op students can pick up a more diversified education than other students by living in two societies--the great lunchboy one and the student reactionaries.

Take your pick of which is closer to a real society.

As for Pete Warrian (Canadian Union of Students president), if he’d look into the facts, he’d see that most engineers use their degree as a stepping stone to other jobs and this was intended from the very beginning.

But I hope Iler can get engineers a little more interested in their lives instead of just the books and standing first and their almighty jobs and the crisp greenback.

MIKE CORBETT 2A civil

But I recall that the great historian-sociologist Alexis de Tocqueville showed that “though the reign of Louis XVI was the most prosperous period of the monarchy, this very prosperity hastened the outbreak of the Revolution”, and that “the spirit of revolt was prompted by well-intentioned efforts to improve the people’s lot.” (p.vi) “The King still used the language of a master but in actual fact he always deferred to public opinion and was guided by it in his handling of day-to-day affairs.

Indeed he made a point of consulting it, feared it, and bowed to it invariably.

Absolute according to the letter of the law, the monarchy was limited in practice. (p. 174-5) “It is a proven fact that the upper classes in France were beginning to show a philanthropic concern for the lot of the poor before the latter threatened them in any way, and took an active interest in improving their condition at a time when the thought that these people they befriended might one day cause their downfall had never entered their heads. (p.183) “The sympathy shown for the suffering of the poor became more active, and more indiscreet in its manifestations, as the Revolution drew near. I have read circulars sent out by provincial assemblies at the beginning of 1788 to the inhabitants of parishes inviting them to give a detailed account of their grievances.” (p. 185) Here then is precisely the same discrepancy between the degree of grievance and the readiness to revolt that my colleague has observed.

Let’s see how de Tocqueville explains it: “It was precisely in those parts of France where there had been most improvement that popular discontent ran highest.

This may seem illogical-but history is full of such paradoxes.

For it is not always when things are going from bad to worse that revolutions break out. On the contrary, it ottener happens that when a people which has put up with an oppressive rule over a long period without protest suddenly finds the government relaxing its pressure, it takes up arms against it. Thus the social order overthrown by a revolution is almost always better than the one immediately preceding it, and experience teaches us that, generally speaking, the most perilous moment for a bad government is one when it seeks to mend its ways. . . .

Patiently endured so long as it seemed beyond redress, a grievance comes to appear intolerable once the possibility of removing it crosses men’s minds. For the mere fact that certain abuses have been remedied draws attention to the others and they now appear more galling; people may suffer less, but their sensibility is exacerbated.” (p. 176-7 ; emphasis added. ) De Tocqueville’s answer to my colleague’s question raises new and problematic ones.

What is the response to be by the powerholders when challenged with revolt?

One cannot very well expect them to just whither away.

Are they to reduce their efforts at reform?

Are they to continue the efforts, but refuse to submit to threats and show force instead?

Or are they to seek accomodations, even at the risk of being overthrown?

President de Gaulle has made his choice and seems to have stopped, for the time being at least, the advent of a new French Revolution.

If liberals and radicals do not favour such an outcome in their own struggles with power it behooves them to confront the theoretical problems without dependence on political dogmas. Whether the professional sociologists have the answers for them is uncertain, but as the Poor People’s Campaign indicates, there are also indigenous sociologists who are hammering out the pattern pragmatically. l

Our revolting At Simon Fraser students and faculty demand the president’s resignation and get it.

At Columbia students take over and paralyze the university.

In France students fight all night at the barricades and the next day the government capitulates.

At Waterloo? Well at Waterloo a committee studying the university’s structure for almost two years can’t meet because it can’t get a quorum of members. * * * A revolutionary situation arises when a society (be it a country or a university) is ill at ease with itself and when established values, legitimacy and authority are being questioned.

At Simon Fraser administrative incompetence, infringement on faculty perogatives, and an articulate student leadership combined to start the offensive.

At Columbia, disenchantment with the governors, especially with their complete control over academic matters, aroused the faculty. Students had long complained about the university’s indifference to the situation around it, especially its role as a slum landlord and its participation in defence research. This produced the confrontation.

In France, student demands for reform in university structures and curricula led to a recognition that arrogant and authoritarian attitudes of the Gaullist T I0

situation

state were really at issue. Hundreds of thousands of workers found a common interest in the demands of the students.

At Waterloo?

Well, at Waterloo the president shook hands with all the engineers attending a booze-up where one of Canada’s foremost social critics told smutty jokes. + * * Students at Simon Fraser, Columbia, the Sorbonne and many

other universities are for the first time posing questions in the context of a genuine power offensive.

Each outbreak acts as a stimulus for others elsewhere. Thinking students gain courage from the success and audacity of their fellows, and learn from their mistakes.

It has been clearly shown that it is not enough to debate the and formulate ansquestions wers. Real action must be taken.

Rut real action is unlikely at Waterloo.

Our authorities succeed in avoiding any head-on confrontations. They concede in a limited way in order to avoid fundamental issues.

And our “revolutionary” leaders, faculty and student, instead of seeking weak spots with a view to producing a direct clash over -major issues, argue over parking and public relations.

Ho-hum. Pass me an ale, Dr. Hagey.

It’s easy to be smug

Oh aren’t we all nice and smug up here in good clean Canada.

Once again with our southern neighbours going through a crisis brought on by an assassina-

tion of a major political leader, we sit and congratulate ourselves because we just know it couldn’t happen here.

Well, fellow Canadians, we think it is happening here. We ’ may be temporarily lucky enough to avoid the lunatic fringe that has started the shooting as soon, but even that is probably not far off.

And when Americans hear about

the Quebec situation they cast somewl at familiar-never i ere-expression themselves.

What we had all better realize, and fast, is that these incidents are not isolated shots in the dark but manifestations of problems that go much deeper into the core of our social system. Pick up a newspaper and read the front page and world news page. Then read a chapter in Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

The analogy may be an old one, but it will probably send the odd shiver down your spine.

You don’t need to need it. In fact that’s what the ad man is all about; he’s going to convince you that you can’t live without it.

was spent on TV advertising than foreign aid. Keep your priorities clear.

We are caught in our own trap. We allow the corporate elite to be the unconsious perpetrators of the system because they benefit most from the status quo. And the status quo says you’ll benefit most if you play along.

So we become self-justifying.

We over-produce to over-consume and spend millions in advertising to insure the production line.

We aren’t allowed to take a look at our priorties because we would have to question the whole structure.

And can you imagine what would happen if we discovered that man didn’t have to own a cadiliac to qualify for the human race.

Worse-what if we found that, left alone, man didn’t even want to own a Cadillac.

President Hagey chugged a beer for the crowd, engineers met their mascot: an eight-foot pipewrench, Newfie U’s first dean of engineering told newfie jokes and CBC producer Patrick Watson told dirty jokes that was engineering night for summer 68.

Angus Bruneau, who has finished at Waterloo as director of general engineering studies, is first dean of engineering at Memorial University in St. Johns’.

He was made an honorary member of the engineering Society when he finished his jokes.

Bruneau was followed by guest speaker Patrick Watson, CBC producer and an adjunct professor in poli-sci at Waterloo last year. informed the crowd he’d been asked to give a speech of dirty jokes. He said, “Any responsible person would soon be up to their neck in shit if they did anything like that.” He did.

Watson did get around to discus sing Canadian broadcasting however.

“It’s an institution in great trouble,” he said. “Programming is 75 percent crap right off the top. Even the small percent of programming which is news and public affairs -is 75 percent crap. ” “Public affairs is bathed in a great mass of respectability and its boring. It only pretends to deal with controversv.”

He said Canadians feel a superiority to the U.S. and a smug generosity to the poor “We have no idea of the extent of poverty in our own country.

“Little of broadcasting is upsetting. Include newspapers and magazines too. They all tend to reinforce the same old ideas about our society, especially the advertising.”

He noted this gave rise to the underground press, but that it reaches an audience that is already convinced there is something wrong w.ith the society.

Specifically on broadcasting, he noted”, we used to have a public broadcasting system. But, the CBC is starved now-by moving into color, Expo 67 and expansion into the developing areas of Canada.

“Money is being taken from programming and what programming funds there are go for things that will attract ads.

CTV is in even worse shape for

good programs.”

affairs Watson also pointed out that a good public affairs program will waste much of the prepared “This is necessary in material. order to get movement, precision and the power to provoke.

YOU just can’t run something because it was done and it cost money.”

The host of the ill-fated ‘This hour has seven days’lhad a solution. He proposed pooling the resources and geography of the two networks to produce one good program on our life in Canada, and not just to run on Sundays but every night.

“Cooperation between CBC and CTV like there is currently over the great debate should continue all the time.

“It would be a vital force in Canadian life free from politics -but only if the country demands it. It will open opportunity; seek out injustice, explore the nature of change. This is one .way to

find out where we’re

at.”

tops weekend Engineering weekend will be its usual- exciting self this summer.

The imaginative planners of the June 21-23 weekend have come up with a unique twist on the mini-skirt fad.

The thi-high, mini-skirt dance on Friday June 21 features the Prophet.

Admission for guys is one dollar, for girls one dollar minus ten cents for every inch their skirt is above the knee.

The early-morning car rally begins at 8 am and finishes in time for the annual sewer bowl game. The sewer bowl is awarded to the loser of the faculty-undergrad baseball game.

Faculty have been consistent winners of the sewer bowl.

Earl Ray and, his orchestra provide the music for Saturday ‘night’s semi-formal “Oasis.”

The dance is in the grub shack, 8:3012: 30. As an extra, added attraction all couples will have their photograph taken by a professional for free.

For those who survive Friday and Saturday there’s a beach bash Sunday at Holiday beach, rain or shine. Class of ‘69 is organizing the bash.

The water sports include log rolling and canoe jousting.

If you don’t want to I participate there’ll be plenty of sun and

booze (strictly BYOB.) Admission is one dollar per couple.

Tickets for engineering weekend are available from engsoc reps and will be sold at noon in the engineering foyer June 10-21.

Summer elections cancelled due to stud&t apathy Election fever may be raging across Canada but it missed the University of Waterloo.

Four student council seats were acclaimed last week and one is still open.

The three engineering seats were filled by Pete Huck, civil 2B, Dave Parsons, chemical 3A , and Bill Fish, civil 2B. John Clinkett, lB, was acclaimed in architecture.

No nominations were received for the co-op math seat.

Hu& is presently Village council president.

Dave Parsons is active in EngSoc and is helping to organize engineering weekend.

Fish ‘has been EngSoc treasurer for the last year and has been active in EngSoc activities.

Nominations are still open for the math seat.
