TORONTO (CUP )---The HallDennis report on education presented to the Ontario legislature last week proposed radical changes in the elementary and secondary school systems, but the immediate effects on university education will be limited. One member of the HallDennis committee, Dr. G.W. Bancroft, said, “Its impact on the highschool and elementary school will be so profound that I believe there cannot but be a significant effect on the university. We do feel that it’s a revolutionary report.” The report’s basic assumption is the individuars right to develop and learn fn his own way throughout the educational systcm. Education minister Bill Davis made glowing remarks about the report in the legislature, but did not make clear any intentions to implement the reforms proposed in the report.
The Hall cohmittee recommends the integration of ele‘mentary and. secondary schooling with twelve ungraded years and automatic graduation. Grade 13 would be abolished -as university entrance qualification. Oral French was recomniended for the first four years and optional after that. Students would be able to’ study what they like and drop what they like in all areas . The report recommended liberalized university entrance requirements -and free tuition in first year. Other recommendations included: more academic content in community college curricula to allow transfer to university withou timelag, upgraded teacher training (4 years university) with empha si s on guidance ‘counselling, and universities taking a
Tofy supporters attack. students TORONTO (Staff )-As the election campaign heads into the home stretch, the Canadian Union of Students continues to pester the , majdr political parties for a discussion of issues rather than images,. Most recent- in a series of CUS confrontations with the candidates was Monday’s dis_ ruption of Stanfield’s abortive Toronto rally. Employing tactics similar to those already used against Trudeau (the Chevron, May 31). placard-bearing students challenged_Stafifield to say - wl-at the Tory party would do about the Carter report on taxation, financing higher education, medicare, the Watkins report on American ownership and the problems of the Canadian Indian. A bored crowd of 4500 endured a Ukranian dance- group and a second-rate team of pop vocalists before the Tory leader was brought to the ‘stage-one and a half hours after the rally began. Ontario Premier JohB Parmenter Robarts failed to appear until the rally had almost finished, so Stanfield was introduced to the CNE -Coliseum audience by education minister Bill Davis. Davis was obviously unprepared and his customary glibness vanish ed as he fumbled through an introduction that unintentionally provoked squeals of laughter from \ the assembly.

of the stage diverted the au-! . dience’s attention. Don Mitchell, CUS vicepresident, used a loud-hailer to address questions to the Conservative leader on subjects ranging through CUS policy. At first, Stanfield chose to ignore the heckling, opting to drone on, reading his prepared speech. Then, as Mitchell appealed for a statement of Tory policy on the Carter report, Stanfield reacted. He said, “If you want to hire a hall and made a speech, go ahead. These people came here to listeu to me.” By this time, however, the audience had lost its”interest in Stanfield and appeared to ,be restless and inattentive. As Mitchell stood to pose another question, he was knocked from his seat by a flying tackle from a young Tory thug. Conservative supporters also attacked the rest of the CUS ,group, throwing punches and attempting to deqtroy the placards. Several men were seen hitting girls in the student group. Metro police broke up the fight by ejecting Mitchell and several other demonstrators from the hall. Interviewed in ,the corridors after his ejection, Mitchell said, “I had been foolish enbugh to think it would be an open political meeting.” The CUS leader reiterated the student union’s determination to force the political parties into a discussion of issues.

He was co-author with tenth anniversary fund information director Murray Davidson. “We were putting out things that people thought were being done wrong. The image is very important,” he said.

They withthat recommended Hagey hold the analysis part dealing with specito avoid fogging the fit department+, recommendations with examples. However the report was releasei in its entirety, while most heads of the departments mentioned in it had never been offered a copy before the Chevron printed a digest of it. While most people inyolved are dismayed at the method of release of the report, opinion is sharply divided on its contents.

Mike Howe, who heads processing, said, “It was great ! My department is working hard to make great improveof data pro_ ments in the administration cessing and is often not given enough credit.‘* He pointed out that computer science -is theoretical and quite distinct from data processing, so there is no paradox. “The computer-science aspect of data processing is the fun part,” he said. “It takes two percent of the time in developing and implementing a system.” But housing director Edith Beausoleil holds the report in contempt. “I just laughed,” She -said,, on being asked her reaction. “There are times when it’s better-to say nothing.” She said there were 1550 thank-you lettc rs mailed to local people providing accommodati6n for students. “If the rest of the report is as inaccurate, it was a w-aste of time and manpower.”
.
Information service director Jack Adams requested to see Iler before the release of the report, but Iler never complied. He said, “The report looks more like a witch hunt than a report. It just isn’t a good report”. His department has thought about mos’t of the ideas put forward, but has neither the budget nor the manpower to carry them out. Tom Rankin found a weakness in the basis of the -report. Like Adams he complained that no sources were given for the information in the report, and consequently it can’t be checked. “It should not have been released at all,” Rankin said. “It was never intended to be released. ” . Several others mentioned in the report were unavailable for comment. However Adlington said, “I feel a hell of a lot of the criticisms are wellplaced and valid, although specifics are hard to deal with. ”

France PARIS FRANCE (CUPDThe Sorbonne has been recaptured. Gendarmes routed the last students from the Paris university Sunday and began a search of the university’s corridors, lecture rooms and basements for arms and documents. The occupation of the Sorbonne began May 13. but only 150 students were still in the university Sunday. The occupation committee had cleared all but five of the occupied lecture halls last week. in order to clean the rooms. Stale bread, rotten apples and other garbage littered the university, a testimony to the students’ commplete control for a full month. Student street fighting has been halted also. The national student union, said, “The students alone cannot continue the battle without support. ” The union said no further violence would take place, barring provocation from police and other officials. Skirmishes between police and students occurred on the left bank for three hours Sunday. The students could not establish fixed positions and the fighting quickly ended. Classes are supposed to resume next week at the Sorbonne.

Icieological American EAST LANSING (Staff)-The annual meeting of the American radical student group, students for a democratic society, ended Saturday at Michigan State University with delegates still confused about the future of their organization. The core of the problem was a deep ideological split historically common to left-wing movements. SDS started in 1962 with the socialist-humanist approach of present senior members of the group like Tom Hayden and Carl Oglesby. Several militant splinter groups were at the conference. An anarchist group advocated immediate action to destroy the liberal institution. The progessivelaborites, a Maoist faction, felt the emphasis should be placed on the organization of the working class with a view towards an

eventual Marxist revolution. On Friday, the split burst into the open on the conference floor. Elections for the national office were being held but few nominees would accept nominations. The situation quickly developed into a confrontation and only the excellent chairmanship of Tim McCarthy, the respected editor of New Left Notes, saved the meeting from chaos. The Progressive-labor group relentlessly pushed for decentralization. They realized control of the national office was beyond them but they had already gained control in many important regions. The old line members, the largest voting bloc, feared PL intended to use SDS solely as a recruiting organization and hence felt particularly threatened. The old line group held private meetings among themselves with the intention of agreeing on a
slate of candidates and then getting them elected. In the end, the conference did little more than elect caretaker officers to preserve the old line group, hoping next year things will be improved. Despite the split, the radicals could present a united front when threatened by a common enemy. On both Tuesday and Friday local police raided houses where the delegates were staying looking for drugs. In the Friday incident, the police busted in without a warrant and hit a girl at the door when she asked for one. One local student was arrested for possession. Tuesday police arrested a student for possession and when friends went to the police station to complain they were charged with interfering with a policeman making an arrest.

Bookstore prices will be increased next fall but it isn’t likely to cause another bookstore sit-in. Since the 1966 demonstration in the store all ancillary enterprises, including the bookstore, food-services, athletics and residences, have operated on a break-even basis. Students have also had voting membership on the ancillary enterprises committee since then. Higher material and labor costs and a new policy that makes the store pay for its heat and light caused the increased. Also included in the new budget is a $10,000 item to cover shrinkage due to theft and damage. When this year’s budget was passed, the ancillary enterprises committee decided the policy of breaking even should be viewed over a period of time longer than a year. Hence a profit in any -given year will be applied toward keeping the prices down in future years. Next year the price hike will add six percent to the cost of

The incident occurredwhen 150 students were delivering an anti-germ warfare petition to the defense ministry.

After considerable heckling the guard lowered his four-foot sabre from its upright position. At that point two dismounted guards moved to his assistance with drawn swords. Before any scenes of the Russian revolution could be enacted. a motorcycle policeman roared up and dispersed the crowd.
Yugoslavia BELGRADE ( CUP1 )-Students here rejected a compromise reached Friday June 7 and continued their strike into its second week. The compromise offered by the government included punishment of officials responsible for violent police repression, amnesty for student activists, airing of student demands in the news media and an end to the police blockade of the university. The students in the school of philosophy rejected the offer in a 567-11 vote. They insisted on removal of a ban on demonstrations and on the firing of Belgrade’s chief of police, the Yugoslav interior minister and the interior minister of the Serbian republic before they would end the strike. Student leaders and government representatives were meeting in an attempt to seek a new formula to end the strike. The students with their demands for democratization and economic and social reform represent the first open opposition to the government since World War II. The troulle started June 2 when 59 students were injurred after clashing with police when they were denied entrance to a variety show. Since then the basis of action has broadened in a similar way to the Paris student revolts in May.

MARBURG (Special)-More than 500 medical students staged a rally in Marburg and followed it up with a protest march through the old part of the town with the aim of drawing attention to the difficulties of medical assistants (interns).

India DELHI (Special)-Pangs of hunger drove scores of foreign students, inmates of the International students’ house, Delhi. to invade the mess kitchen. There they settled down to chalk out a memorandum listing their demands to place before the Education Minister and the Prime Minister. The trouble started when the hostel authorities closed down the mess due to the rowdy and intractable behavior of the students. On the morning of May 1 all inmates stormed the dining hall and wanted to be served. Some of the students abused and kicked the bearers and pushed them out of In their memorandum the students particularly the kitchen. complained against the hostel food, bad mess service and the rude treatment meted out to them by the authorities. They also complained. that most of the time they had no water in the bathrooms. and electricity was known to fail for “days together” at a stretch.
China PEKING (Special)The Soviet news agency TASS has reported from China that the Country’s internal situation has become more serious. A veritable war is said to be going on in Peking between two student groups, “Chingkang-shan” and “Hsinpeita Kunshe”. The supporters of these groups had occupied the building of Peking University on 26th April, barricaded themselves inside and hoisted their own flags. Clashes between students also occurred in the People’s University and the University of Chinghua. Troops were ordered to Peking to take up positions on the edge of the city and in the stadium May 1. Industrial production in the capital was more or less paralysed. The leader of the “Cultural Revolution”, Shiching-shan and warned them to re-assume production. He admitted however, admit that most Peking factories-especially in heavv industrvhad stopped work. There were also reports on further public executions and on increased terror in the provinces. There was a “show trial” in Shanghai April 27. Seven persons were executed by firing squad for being opponents of Mao.

Bruneau, Waterloo’s former director of general engineering studies, said it was a hard decision to. leave. He will be dean of engineering at Memorial University. Until Bruneau’s changes are effective students cannot complete engineering studies in Newfoundland. Students must take a two-year course at a university outside the province after three years at Memorial. “Then students .’ associate engineering with industry outside the province and the need for engineers on the island is unfulfilled,” he said. The major industry, fishing, is still as inefficient as it was 200 years ago, said Bruneau. “Engineering can provide a tremendous boost to the Maritimes by applying modern technology to all stages of the catch. “Since much of Newfoundland’s resources lies stagnant, local figures in industry and

eering at Memorial, said Bruneau. These developments should be in effect in September and the first work term-will be the winter or summer, 1970. Since Newfoundland industry is unfamiliar with the co-op program, Bruneau hopes to have Ontario people talk with Newfoundland industrialists. He plans to send some students to England for their work terms but thinks most will stay in the Maritimes. Bruneau does not consider Memorial students a threat - to Waterloo. “Students from the two universities, working side by side, will learn a great deal from each other,” he said. The important engineering programs for Memorial are power, hydraulics and marine and coastal engineering, he said. But specific departments are not definite. “I don’t like to use classical terms because people’s minds tend to lock in to what * their previous conceptions are.” He stressed the fields of study would be relevant to the uroblems and opportunities of Newfoundland.

oFASS f i II ers funniest by Betty

I’m not sure whether I was more entertained by the audience last Thursday night, or by the show. ‘Not so Fass’ lived up to its name. Slow delivery on lines, long scene changes and a final production number that dragged out a little too much gave the show a ‘Ho-hum’ atmosphere. The audience was left to entertain themselves at times and they did so by adlibbing lines often better than the skits, rustling around, shining flashlights cheeks in and popping their rythmic unison. This led one to believe that in spite of what happening on stage, a good time was being had by all. Terry Wilkinson with his brief, funny and welltimed walk-ons lifted the show consistently, and enabled one to quickly forget what had just happened. Louis Silcox, another highlight proved a relaxed and witty performer as he drolly reported the weather with a map of Canada drawn backwards and a little too

I guess many of the students recognized themselves or their friends on stage, or perhaps Silcox was inspired by a visit to the Village dining hall. The only other act of note was the superb performance of an Indian magician who won the approval of the audience by belching ballsPi!2 pong a move which showed insight. His tricks were rewarded by spontaneous applause throughout his act. The chorus sang well, but that’s about all. Peter Moore’s direction, though at times obvious, failed to inspire them. Real enthusiasm burst forth in the final song as if the cast had suddenly come to life. Maybe they
too were glad it was all over. A motley crew of musicians accompanied the choral numbers. The only other music (and that’s an overstatement) was Poor Charlie Robertson who mumbled and wailed in his usual fashion. I felt much better than he sounded and I suppose that’s a positive response. The St. Jacob’s Citizens Band did something at intermission. Since I did not hear them, I cannot pass judgement; but they themselves reported they were great. But whatever FASS lacked in wit, talent and class it made up for in just being show-biz. Everybody seemed to like it, everyone had a good time, and everyone will go again next winter , including me. Not so FASS fared only halfassedly in ticket sales, as seats were empty at both performances.

Betty Burcher is a first year arts student at Waterloo. She was one of 12 Waterloo delegates to the CUS seminar in Winnipeg last mon th. by B&y
Burcher
One of the reasons I went to the CUS seminar in Winnipeg was to find different ways to get through to the apathetic students to make them more aware. I was disappointed because there was very little discussion on this topic. There was an obvious consensus of opinion that we needed to “politicize” the students.- Obviously in any sort of demonstration of confrontation, the larger the mass of dissent, the more effective. Although student activists have succeeded in getting the establishment up tight, there is a reactionary response because the activists are a minority “Why don’t we hear from the contented 95% who are placidly engaged in getting their degree“, is the question we hear. However at the seminar, no one seemed to get down to the “nitty-gritty” of reaching these people although rhetoric was tossed around. Perhaps many of the participants at the seminar are too far removed in their cloistered student council offices.’ to run into apathetic students, who certainly form a large, percentage of the student population. -- Carl Davidson, in his article, “The New Radicals and the Multiversity”, says we should not be discouraged that the apathetic and cynical are still in the majority. “In fact, we should view that apparent apathy among the majority of students with a certain qualified optimism. “What makes people apathetic? My feel ing is that apathy is the unconscious recognition students make of the fact that they are powerless. Despite all the machinations and rhetoric used by hot-shot student politicos within student governments, j people’s experience tells them that nothing changes. Furthermore, if and when change does occur, students fully recognize that they were powerless to effect those changes in one way or another. If this is in fact the case, then why shouldn’t students be apathetic? The administration rules, despite the facade of student governments, of residence councils, and of student judicial committees. And when they give us exofficio seats on their academic committees. the result among most students is kind of that deeper, more hardened apathy-cynicism. “The apathy reflects the reality of their powerh ssness. When that reality confronts the lie of the official rhetoric, the contradiction is driven home-and the apathetic ‘become the cynical. What that contradiction-that daily living with a lieall adds up to is_ a dynamic tension and alienation. And that.. fellow organizers, is the necessary subjective condition for any revolution. l ’ Apathy
or alienation
A distinction should be made between the apathetic and the cynical or alienated
students. Generally there seems to be three accepted levels-that of the apathetic, the alienated and the activist student. Admittedly these categories are not mutually exclusive; The activists are not hard to distinguish. They are the ‘saboteurs” or troublemakers who called the Ontario College of Art principal a liar, who blockaded a Dow Chemical Company recruiter for six hours at a U of T placement office, whose cry “Student Power” disturbs (the sleep of campus administrators, who in the name of peace in Vietnam heckle liberal politicians and create chaos at their meetings. The alienated are those who areun1 happy with their situation but feel powerless and consequently do not act to change it. The apathetic students are those who are insensitive and indifferent to suffering These are the students who do not recognize the name Hagey, who do not know what CUS is, or even the Federation of Students. Carl Davidson feels that the alienation or cynicism is a necessary condition for revolution or radical social change, but I feel we are overlooking the apathetic students. This is why I feel compelled to write this-exploring the causes behind apathy. Most of the explanations are from personal observation and experiences from my first year of apathy and alienation at Waterloo. One explanation for apathy is that the student is a nigger. In the thirteen years &ofpre-university education, he has learned how to take orders and he doesn’t question whether the orders make sense. He is a slave-you cannot educate slaves; you can only train or program the cogs to fit the wheels of society. Thus when freshmen enter university, there is the adjustment to large classes, living away from -home and the freedom of not having to go to classes; (not completely-attendance is still taken in some classes! ). After adjusting to this it seems very similar to high school. The professor is still up at the front handing down his words of wisdom and we still frantically copy them down to regurgi-. tate on essays, book reports and exams. It doesn’t take long to fit into the old routine. We’re enslaved Another reason is that we are dependent on the state and parents for financial aid. This prevents us from acting like a totally responsible per son. Gradually we become grateful to society for this aid; thus servility is established. Several sympathetic adults have told me that they too would be radicals if it weren’t for the fact that they must earn a living to ,provide for their family. They can’t rock the boat or they would be out of a job. One of the values that our predominantly middle class society hold s is the suc-cess value. Not only are we taught to believe in success, but also that, given the willingness to work hard, plan dna make the proper sacrifices, an individual ’ should be able to manipulate his environment to ensure success.

ing to this success value don’t want to do anything that will spoil their chances of getting ahead. There are activities they in that will not spoil * can participate their chances; in fact, they will enhance their possibilities. After all, we are told that employers not only look at your scholastic record but also the extra-curricular activities you participate in. Thus students belong to the ‘ ‘ safe” organiza tions (fraternities, interest clubs and course clubs) and get upset over “sandbox issues”. If group action is taken, individuals act like sheep and if you do not- foIlow you are ostracized as a scab. Individually, people are very reluctant to do anything unless they know exactly what they are getting into. They must know what is required of them and what the rewards will be. They-will act if it is a means to an end-will it raise their status? I Your
not alone
~
Some students who complain about their dull courses, boring profs and the impersonal treatment they receive at the registrar’s office fail to realize that others feel the same way. They repress these feelings,’ blaming it on themselves, not the institution, feeling that really they do not fit into the schemes of things-there must be something wrong with themselves. So they repress it. Others feel powerless-they are so overcome with the massiveness and complexity of society and university that they feel things will happen in spite of any individual’s intervention. Things seem to be controlled by “they” although they cannot-pin down who “they” are. There is a breakdown of communications between the activists and the normal student. The activists hang out in the Federation Building or the Coffee Shop-places where few students even dare enter. Many activists are too pedantic: they babble in a jargon unfamiliar to the average student, using such words as “epistimological”, “heuristic”, “technocracy”, and “cybernetics”. The size and impersonality of the university facilitiate apathy. All relationships at the university, with the exception of ‘associations among close friends, are secondary.. Yet it has been shown that there is better communication and understanding when we relate to others as individuals rather than according to assigned roles. Thus if we get ,to know our professors and the activists we will respect them more as human beings and have a better understanding

Un fortunately we have come to accep this impersonaiity as the status quo ant are surprised when it is otherwise. Whel I went to pre-register I was shocked tha my faculty advisor knew my name. wondered what notorious deed I had don to rate this recognition! /Apathy may be more prevalent at this university than at others for reasons peculiar to this university.This multiversity has grown so fast in ten years wit1 students and buildings that it has had little time to grow intellectually. There is very little tradition as compared to other multiversities such as Queens and U of T. This lack of guidelines may inhibit students from acting but on the other hand, it has permitted the Federation to innovate new ideas and methods now making it one of the more respected student councils in Canada. Coupled with this, many students on campus are on co-operative programs. These students came to university mainly for the jobtraining and they focus all their attentions on this. Also, there is a lack of interdisciplinary communication, even at the faculty level (as Earl Birney, poetin-resident, found). The plumbers conglo-

The saddening part is that many of us are still under the misconception that it is still a community of scholars\ This is reinforced when we read such propaganda in Orientation, “Welcome to the Community of Scholars.. .“. The generation now at university is a result of the post-war baby boom. We have feasted in affluence and don’t know what it is like to suffer, to scrip, to sacrifice, to be insecure. Our parents, who were products of the depression and the war, don’t want us to suffer as they did and SO they have spoiled us, giving in to all our whims and not telling us about reality. Thus World War II sounds like a fairy tale and we are cdnfident that it ,will not happen to us.

Society at fault Apathy is not so much the fault of the individual but rather the sick society in which he lives. Something has happened in those thirteen years of pre-university education. The system has turned inquisitive, energetic children into passive, lazy selfish adults. After all these reasons for apathy, you may wonder how we get activists when the conditions seem fruitful for the turning out of apathetic students and citizens. Research carried out at Berkeley’s Cen- _ tre for Higher Education indicates that activists score higher than non-activists on psychological measures of autonomy, estheticism, intelligence, emotional sensitivity, concern with ideas, desire to realize one’s intellectual capacities and concern with the plight of others in society. Activists tend’to come from upper middle class homes where the atmosphere is politically liberal,. permissive and non-dogmatic about religion. The parents of activists tend toward the values and ideas of their children although they are not so radical. Thus it would seem that activists are produced in a liberal and permissive atmosphere. It is when they realize that there is a wide chasm between the normative order and its values of equality, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the factual order of hypocrisy, slavery, and unhappiness that they become committed to bridging the gap by working for radical social change. . Yet, it has been said, “Activists need not be alienated from the educational ’ establishment; they can bring enriched meaning to it. ” How? That is the question! -we have much to learn from Columbia and Simon Fraser. How did their movements gain momentum? One of the best ways of learning is through experience and it seems that this is their major tactic; Orientation, is a good time to hit the students-freshmen and others. The campus center should become the hub of 3.;the campus. everyone should feel free and welcome. Because I am unaware of the existing structures and facilities, I can only say, that with continuous infiltration and progagandizing of the “rank and file” students, we may blow some minds to produce activist, or at least aware, rather than apathetic, students!
The Aryan Affairs Commission may be the birth of a new wave of interest. Starting out as a joke not much different from the apath-y club o.f’ two jqears ago, the commission has started to play an active part in campus life.
Sir George Wiltiams University had its own bookstore sit-in and over a third of ‘the student body sat down. Active participation has been spreading through Canada recently but still involves only minorities. The activities at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia may, however, herald a new ara. There the majority of students recently took part in actions demanding major reforms on camp-us. .-

This is the first year the University of Waterloo has entered a fastball team in a regional league. With a record of four wins and four losses to date and a steady improvement in the team’s performance, the outlook for the future is good. Under the leadership of playing coach Don Mervyn, who was instrumental in starting the team, the Warriors now rank third out of six teams in the Waterloo City Fastball League. Should they take top honors in this league, they would be matched against the winning team from Kitchener for the Twin City championship. Gerry

as the Warriors. This team is currently on top in the Kitchener loop, and with the good possibility of a strong Warrior finish, Ron’s position is becoming more precarious. Several of the fastball Warriors have seen varsity action before. Don Mervyn played for the hockey Warriors last year and in the 1966-67 season. Gerry Lawless was also a puck Warrior. He played in 66-67 and was one of the high scorers on the team. Varsity basketball was Lorne Johnson’s interest. He played last year. All together the team looks pretty good for a shot at the top spot in the league. Brian

The Warrior’s greatest obstacle is a tendency for momentary defensive lapses that occur early in the games. Improved teamwork has overcome this obstacle. With three pitchers on the thirteen man team, the Warriors appear well equipped to continue their participation, in the league until the end of the summer term in August. Two recent acquisitions, shortstop Ron Nichols and left fielder Lorne Johnson, have proven beneficial, not. only as ball-grabbers, but also as good hitters. Nichols was formerly an all-star shortstop in the Kitchener league. He is now playing for a team in the same league as well

With over 200 rookie prospects coming in next fall, football coach Wally Delahey is optimistic about the Warrior’s first year in the Ontario-Quebec athletic association football loop. He is, so optimistic that he feels the Warriors will take the national championship this fall. , This opinion marked a significant change in his attitude toward the team’s prospects. His statements previous to, and during, this conference were that the Warriors would not “take a back seat to anybody” in the league. With this second statement, we heartily agree. The impressive 30-26 victory over last year Western gives us ample reason to. However, doing well, or even moderately well, is a far cry from the OQAA title, riot to. mention the national title. Last year the, Warriors blew two games after piling up leadsone against the Carleton Ravens and the other against the McMaster Marauders. The Marauders subsequently went into the College Bowl and lost a close game to the Alberta Golden Bears. Mat’s spot in the bowl game could easily have been taken
by the Warrior squad if not for these losses. Here was a definite chance for a national championship at a time when the OQAA big guns were not represented. As it now stands, to get a shot at the Vanier Cup (symbol of Canadian football supremacy) the Warriors must beat the class of the nation, Queen’s and Toronto. This ‘is harder than beating Mat or Alberta. We might have an easy time tbiih McGill or Western, the perennial also rans of the league, but the big boys don’t budge that easily. But who knows, a couple of breaks .here and there could pull us through. Our prediction, however, is a solid third behind U of T and Queen’s‘ with a good battle from McMaster which is not bad for the first year in the loop. We would like to share your optimism Mr. Delahey, but we think the odds against us are. too great. GAPS & LOOSE ENDS: An inspection of the new physed complex shows a definite lack of good locations for athletic bulletin boards.

A good team effort by the fastball Warriors gave them an easy win over Marsland Engineering Wednesday night. After two and a hlaf innings of close but scoreless action, the entire Warrior lineup had a turn at bat in the bottom of the third and chalked up four quick runs. Big Lorne Johnson started it off with a man on base when he pounded out a ball that bounced over the centre field fence for an automatic double. A base hit by Pete Geuvrement brought both players in. Brian Krulicki’s hit put two more men on base, and they were driven in by Al Sharp and Ted Chase before the opposition could retire the side. At this point the Marsland team started to connect. Their first two batters both hit home runs to make the score 4-2, but Warrior pitcher Doug Irving, backed by an efficient infield, was quick to retaliate and gave up no further runs in the frame. Batting first for the second inning in a row, Lawless got on base as Marsland committed an error, and Johnson once again hit a double to put two men on base. With two out Krulicki smashed out a two-bagger that increased the Warrior lead to 6-2. In the fifth inning both teams began to- settle down. The op-
position *started a new pitcher whose “whip” style had the University team at bay for a short time. A Warrior error in the seventh cost them a run, but neither team managed another run after this. In order to maintain their 6-3 lead, the Warrior defensive players were forced to move fast on many occasions, with short stop Ron Nichols and third basemari Brian Krulicki getting lots of action for the rest of the game. Qutfielders Ted Chase, Gerry Lawless, and Lorne Johnson had to stay on their toes to catch some tricky flies that came their way. The Warrior coach Don Mervyn, who has played in every game thus far, had a good supply of players on hand for this match, making it possible for him to restrict his duties solely to coaching. The way the team is playing now, its hopes for a top spot in the league may very well become reality in the near future. Knowles hitting well Sparked by the hitting of right fielder Tony Knoles, the Waterloo fastball Warriors came from behind Monday night to win a closely fought match with Sunshine Office Supplies. Pitcher Don Scott gave up one run in the first innin before he was fully warmed up. The
game then became primarily a pitchi.ng and infielding- dual &th neither team registering a run until the Warriors started to click in the fifth inning. Al Sharp and Don Mervyn capitalized 00 the faltering Sunshine pitcher with a single and double respectively, and Tony Knowles drove them in to give the Warriors a slim 2-l margin. In the last half of the inning, coach and second baseman “elbows” Mervyn made two good infield plays with the bases loaded to keep the Warriors in the lead. The University squad increased its. lead in the seventh inning when Knowles once again drove in Sharp, who was on base with a walk. In the eighth, hits by Lorne Johnson and Brian Krulicki brought in two more runs to give the team a substantial 5-l lead. With the opposition up, short stop Pete Geuvrement made a double play as he caught a player off the bag after diving to pull in a fly ball. This retired the side. The Warriors went to town in the last inning with hits coming from Knowles, Geuvrement, Johnson and Krulicki. The three runs they chalked up made the score 8-1, which became .final as they swiftly retired the Sunshine team in the bottom half of the frame.

Would it not be more sensible to start with a problem--and there are several here--and then ask how this can best be solved? Revolt is one alternative that can be considered to see if it achieves the goal at least cost. This appears to be the case for the problem at the Ontario College of Art.

And what is the meaning of this dishevelled sentence: “Thinking students gain courage from the success and audacity of their fellows, and learn from their mistakes.” Is that from Mao? Read on in his handbook of Confusionism (p. 308) and you’ll find castigation of “shooting comrades who are without a target, shooting at random”. Has the heat got you Che? Did you write that editorial with a clear head in your airconditioned office or out on the grass? Come on Chevron, get off the pot. ROBERT KERTON assistant professor economics Chevron bad says satistical

After reading the article under the heading End Zones, in the sports section of the Chevron (June 14), I am moved to ponder the question, “Is the Chevron really interested? ” I cannot help but feel that if the Chevron is sincerely interested in bridging the gap, then why does it not offer more assistance? The Chevron could assume a very vital leadership role in improving the communication between students and the intramural department. Why does the Chevron not take it upon itself to more enthusiastically publicize, promote and report upon intramural activities than has been the case in the past?

Prior to and during the first few weeks of the current term, regular, weekly releases were forwarded to the Chevron office. Out of all this information the Chevron saw fit to print only 14 percent. If the organization is sincerely interested in informing the readers about upcoming events why was so much copy omitted? Another feature of the article which I would like to comment upon is the incorrect statement participation that intramural has not improved proportionally to the increased student enrollment. In the last two years the university’s student population has increased by 58.5 percent. During the same period the number of participants in intramural activities has increased by 237 percent. Participation has increased in spite of the fact that 56 percent of it takes place off-campus and this increases to 67 percent if Seagram stadium and gymnasium are considered off-campus. With the opening of the new athletic complex this year, we anticipate another substantial increase in intramural activities and student participation in all activities. 1 The intramural department welcomes constructive criticism of its program. We would hope that this criticism would be based on some researched fact and not just idle observations as may have been the case in the past. PAUL CONDON men’s intramurals director

In December 1963 I “This year, are How the deadly Acrcss barriers
wrote in an annual letter to friends: any greetings of the season not moist with tears? blow has revealed men to themselves: of politics and race we had longed alike.
Now this shining moment of creativity is in the past. What better memorial than our courage to press forward From jointly felt anxieties and hopes into a community of man. Nearly five years and two more slain populist leaders later I am forced to reassess the sentiments I had sought to express after the death of John F. Kennedy. My first impulse was similar to that of other liberals: here is evidence of a violent strain in American life; these assassinations indicate what a sick society Americans have. But a little more reflection has changed my mind. Is America really the epitomy of violence and lawlessness? Have we so quickly forgotten the Nazi behemoth with its murder factories and its absolute human degradation? I am not trying to belittle the cataclysmic events of these slayings of two Kennedys and the civil rights leaders. What I am trying to do is put them into the perspective of history. After Martin Luther King’s death I went to Memphis, first of all to take part in paying homage to a brave and wise contemporary, and secondly to learn what might be learned, informally and in a few days, about the meaning of Dr. King’s life and death to black and white people in that city. What I learned from several young men at the memorial march was that in spite of police brutality they and others like them were not afraid, but would continue to press their demands for justice and equity. Two of the three young men to whom I talked at length had fresh scars on face and head from beatings received at the hands of the police during the civil rights march two weeks earlier. These men were not so much bitter as determined. I also had the opportunity to spend an afternoon and the following morning with a grade 12 history class at an all Negro high school in integrated Memphis. Several of the highly articulate young men and women tried to show me that “black power” did not necessarily imply violence or the rejection of a common humanity. During my first two hours with them I tried to argue until one young man said: “You are not really listening.” It stung me deeply, but later that evening I began to see that this had been the truth. We may long alike, or similarly, but if life has placed us into positions of relative power or prestige we do not need to listen as keenly, to be as sensitive, as the people with little or no power or no prestige. I began to see more clearly then why Negroes are apt to be more sensitive to whites than whites to Negroes, wty women know more about men than men about women, and why children are often contemptuously knowledgeable about their parents. While in Memphis I also paid some attention to the attitudes of whites. Taxi drivers were free with their opinions. Of a dozen in whose vehicles I rode only one expressed regret at the killing; the others were upset that it had happened in Memphis. / If taxi drivers were more inclined to be concerned about the reputation of Memphis than about the crime that had been committed there, so was the vocal part of the business community. On April 7 a committee of “community leaders” (mostly representing business) called a mass meeting in Crump Stadium under the slogan “MEMPHIS CARES.” Though the sponsors never made explicit what it was that Memphis cares about, the content of the speeches that Sunday afternoon made clear that they deplored “bad human relations” as being bad for business. Two days later there appeared a fullpage advertisement in one of the two daily papers of Memphis calling for “ONE HUNDRED DAYS OF LOVE AND PRAYER.” Once again, here was no indication of any search for the causes of the slaying, of the civil rights movement, or the unrest of local Negroes as it was evident in the strike of the garbage workers. On my last evening in Memphis a colleague took me to a meeting of young and middle-aged academics and professional men and women, mostly white. These people really held a brain-storming session to find out what they could do to help in the situation of Negroes and whites. There were many good and constructive suggestions put forward, but by and large I found that these people of good will also had not been listening; they knew little of their Negro townsmen or their aspirations. American society is a society with deep cleavages and greater than any is the cleavage between whites and Negroes. Whether American society is a sick society seems impossible to determine since none knows what is meant by a healthy one. I am distressed at the wanton killing of imaginative leaders, be it a matter of conspiracy or of impulse. But I am also aware something is on the move in America, that the populism of the Kennedys and of Martin Luther King has fired the imagination of millions of people. There has been little movement into a community of man. But there has been a vast increase in the belief that such movement is possible as well as desirable. And there has been courage, a great deal of it. And the courage is to be found in the greatest measure among those with the greatest burden: the Negroschool children walking among jeering and spitting white adult enemies of integration, and the Negro voters risking life and livelihood. Yes, I would write the lines of 1963 again this year.

Hagey against Chevron debates The Chevron has hoped that its pages would be used for a dialog on the problems facing our society at all levels. University president Gerry Hagey seems to feel that the u&versity level is one that shouldn’t be dealt with. In a memo sent to members of the president’s council and senior department heads this week Hagey -suggested that the administration find some way to ensure that its view is presented to the, university communities .the way it wants it to be, Since it is inconceivable that Ilagey could be advocating the censorship of the Chevron, he must be looking for other means of information control. Indeed the president indicates his desire to set’ SO~C sort of administrationproduc*ed cor’ntnunication device started in the near future. . (MC the administration had its own v&c it might decide to cease discussing issues with the Chevron. Already administration officials have b&i instructed not to write to the Chevron about the DavidsonI Icr report. “I don’t believe the (lhcvron should be u,scd.a s a medium of dcbatc between any divisions of the university “Ifagcy has said. g One of the department heads received tht, memo-he requested his name not be used-said Hagey also complained that he had 6een unfairlv quoted in last week’s Chevron. ’
He complained that his printed remark “However we can’t just act overnight...you can’t just fire one person today and get a new one tomorroiv” was taken out of context and misrepresented what he had said. In his memo Hagey gives the‘ senior department men the original context-in his opinion-which is a long quote simply indicating that change takes time. We find it difficult to believe that this constitutes any serious crime. Obviously all quotes are taken “out of context” to a certain extent. Editors look for a statement that srfms things up well. Hagey’s quote did just that. The university communities have a right to see questions of importance to all of them discussed in an open forum. While many people became upset over the publication of the Davidson-Iler report, it is doubtful they would have done so if they had been used to dealing openly: We hope president Hagey doesn’t really intend to make proceedings even more secret than they are now. The Davidson-Iler report should have made it clear that doing so does not really protect the university’s image as it is intended to do. Instead it makes the institution seem more remote and increases the lack of mutual trust on campus. ‘And we hope Hagey is not opposing free discussion at an institution of higher learning for it is one of our few remaining freedoms.‘ _ -’
