OTTAWA (Staff-CUP)Canadain University presidents held a secret meeting in Ottawa this week. Dr. Jeffrey Andrews, director of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, (AUCC) said, however, that this was their usual procedure. “It is not in the least unusual for the University presidents to

get together without any of the press knowing” Andrews said. AUCC information officer, Jeff Holmes, said that the meeting discussed the censure of Simon Fraser University by the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), unrest of ail sorts on Canadian campuses, and the Macdonaid commission report on science teaching and research.

of the student revolt on individual campuses were discussed. It is believed, however, that the executive decided to limit the discussion at the general meeting to a discussion of general rather than individual problems. Peter Warrian, presdent of the Canadian Union of Students, said he didn’t find news about the meeting particularly surprising. “These people see themselves as conflict managers”, he said, “and so are getting together to decide how to respond to the present conflicts.” “The problem with conflict management” continued Warrian, is that it is not conflict resolution. Warrian questioned the fact that it seemed the meeting discussed the student revolt and not the campus problems from which this revolt stemmed.
fneet “If they intended to talk constructively about problems then why keep the meeting ecret and why not have faculty and students there?” Warrian questioned. University of Waterloo president Gerry Hagey said that no one from Waterloo attended the meeting. He was otherwise committed he indicated and the president s are the representatives that are expected to go. AUCC derector Andrews said that meetings such as this one are very necessary in Canada today. “From time to time, and in time of change in particular, we need to get together and find out what is happening on the differen campuses and what the different institutions are planning to do” he said.

The money pledged so far in the tenth anniversary fund drive has ail been committed-and it’s not going to put any more outlines on the horizon. As a result up to 3.5 million bucks of Parmenter Robart s provincial capital funds that we could spend can’t be touched. To get the government money, the university must have within its grasp the five percent of the capital cost that is its share. The province pays 95 percent. Only $6,185,000 of Waterloo’s capital allotment of $9,685,000 for this fiscal year has been aiiopayated. It will complete lents on the athletic heaith-serices, food-services and math buildings (except floors 4 and 6)) the campus center, biology addition and site work.

site work, optometry equipment, completing floors 4 and 6 of the math building and renovating the physics building. According to university treasurer Bruce Geiiatiy, “Regardless of the amount of government funds which may become avaiiable in the future, under the 95-5 formula, the university will not undertake any new projects until it can forsee its share of the financing.” Additional projects regarded as minimal in nature which could be undertaken during 1968-69 include: further renovations to physics, renovations to engineering and a mathematics statistics library. This would commit a further $75,000 of the university’s money. According to Geiiatiy, the scheduled construction of the faculty club building will not involve money from the tenth anniversary fund.

“We are convinced that students have a right to participate in the concerns of the university by being assured a definite place in the governing bodies and in the committee structure. We are also convinced however, that because they are students, there are strict limits to be placed upon the degree of that participation.” This is the central conclusion in a report by McMaster’s senate committee on student affairs. This report on student participation in university committees has been presented to the McMastel senate but hasn’t been accepted yet. The report notes in its introduction that most of the administrative and academic decisions in the university are made through a complex committee structure. It goes on to examine the question“What ought to be the place of students in the university committee structure?” The committee took the view that most students are satisfied with the declared purposes of the university and with the structures within which higher education is pursued. But it took careful note of the small minority who demand radical changes and warns against dismissing them as unrepresentative.
“We consider these students to be a normal product of the social system in which we live. “It is because they are probably not a passing phenomenon but a permanent feature of our society that the university must come to terms with them.” The committee also said thtit student criticisms were expressed in rational language and therefore the university was obliged to listen and to accept thnir conclusions unless they could be refute2 by logical arguments.
project on Bauer field scheduled for completion in 1970 will not require any capital. The Ontario student housing corporation provides a 100 percent mortgage. Geiiatiy continued, “Assuming the necessary money is avaiiable, 1970-71 will become a major construction year with projects to include expansions to engineering and architecture, a psychology building, a chemistry addition, administration building, central stores and workshops addition and an audio-visual center.” This will still not complete the planned south campus, which in 1966 was scheduled for completion in 1971 or 1972. Still to come are a new physics building, science lecture hail, engineering, math and science library, another food-service building, bioiogy addition and two arts building additions.

The report summarizes radical views on the purpose of the university-as an agent for social change. “They conceive it would be a community of free and moral men as opposed to their conception of existing society as coercive and immoral.” The radical concept of education, the committee feels, is that .of “a process in which each individual student is encouraged (but not compelled) to investigate those matters which interest him, to solve those problems which bother him, and to ask and seek answers to those questions which seem relevant to him. As one of the alienated put it, education ought to be concerned with the fundamental question ‘what is it good to know?’ ” But, the committee says, the power structure makes this impossible so the radical must concentrate on winning as much power as possible to effect changes.
The report separates radicals into two main categories -democrats and syndicaiists. The democrats see the university as a political society and concentrate on securing for everyone a real sense of participation. They tend to rely on persuasion and shy away from insistting on rule of themajority. To the syndicaiists, the university is divided into clearly defined groupsstudents, faculty and administration. They want each of these constituencies equally represented on decision-making bodies. Syndicaiists talk more in terms of power rather than reason and their tactics empha size organizing students spore than preparing briefs. Accepting either bf these views of the university would mean large, probably majority, student representation on university committees, says the report.
But the committee
rejects
both views.
it is time we discarded this slogan. The fund drive didn’t have much success-and now the marketing center has this gross typo on its hands.
Maybe

“To define the university as a purposive agent for social change is likely to be more harmful than beneficial. “It seems clear to us that to define the university as an agent for social change would not be compatible with academic freedom.” The report says such a definition would make it impossible for an academic to oppose a change which the university is officially dedicated to. The committee therefore returns to the traditional definition. The committee says since the university should be striving for excellence in the preservation, extension and dissemination of knowledge, “Those individuals with a demonstrated competence and a degree of experience in the enterprise ought to have the ultimate power to make decisions affecting it.” “It follows from this that students, who are, after all, only beginning the process of education and who, by definition, lack experience, cannot possess the degree of power and influence implicit in either the democratic or syndicalist positions.”
The committee therefore recommends limited student participation in the university. The report’s first recommendation is that any individual should have the right to request a hearing before any committee on campus or ask for information on the committee’s business. “It will, of course, be entirely within the discretion of the chairman and members of the committee whether such requests, either for a hearing or for information, be granted.” The report also suggests a description of every committee be available, listing membership and functions. It also recommends that summaries of minutes be pubii shed regularly.
owef
Other recommendations urge student representation at the faculty and department level. The report lays down a general guideline on student representation. “Students ought to be included on all university committees except those the circumstances of which provide acceptable reasons for excluding them.”
The committee said students should be excluded from committees dealing with the academic achievement of other students or the performance of faculty members. Students would also be excluded from the president’s council and the president’s facilities planning committee because they deal with major matters of university
policy.
The report rejects student demands for equality of membership on committees and recommends that student representation be dictated solely by the purpose of the committee. The report says students have no right to appoint committee members but suggests they might nominate a group of students from which the president or senate would make the actual appointment.
The report finally recommends that ail committees be closed. The committee says this is to protect the freedom of the university from the pressures of government and society. “Without a careful and continuing check. of the audience, members’ of a committee would never know when their words were being recorded for pubiication.” o At Waterloo, the committee studying university government has been meeting for 21 months. The 25-member committee includes three students who led an unsuccessful fight to get open committee meetings last fail. The study committee is due to complete its report in October.
Capitalists

“Student power” can be exploited for capitalist profit. A secret memo from the Canadian manufacturers association about a month ago appealed to its members to take advantage of cheap student labor. While they mentioned the availability of bright and willing young people. the emphasis was on exploiting them through the exceptions in the minimum wage j act. For example, students working between, May 15 and September 15 at regular weekly hours can be paid a minimum of 80 cents an hour. A student working more than 28 hours a week during this period may be classed as a learner for the first month

The first was academic-he wants to spend more time on research. “This summer is the first time in a year I’ve done any actual research myself,” he said. CapindaIe is an associate professor in science. His field of research is biochemistry. 3 Capindale noted he spends about three nights a week in his capacity as a tutor.

The other reason he offered was that the Village was an inconvenient place to bring up a family. Capindale has five young children. He noted there were only three other families on his street. Capindale said his duties as tutors often clashed with his duties to his family. The choice of another tutor now lies with warden Eydt. He has accepted Capindale’s resignation which is effective at the end of the summer. Eydt’ himself resigned earlier this summer citing academic reasons.

housing
OTTAWA (CUP)-The perennial problem of student housing will be worse than ever this year. Reports from some Ontario campuses indicate beds from students may simply not exist come September. At Western, an 800-bed residence, scheduled to open in September, will open in late November because of a strike. Student president John Yokum said the delayed opeing will mean at least 500 students would have difficulty locating housing. Administrators say the situation will be alleviated by 100 houses, formerly used by airforce personnel at the Centralia air base, which will be available for students to rent. Yokum said the base housing will provide transportation problems as Centralia is 40 minutes from the campus. He emphasized the success of the plan would depend on transportation arrangements. Western students last fall had

Officials fear they will have to accept housing in Fort William which would cause transportation problems. l A motel has been purchased by the University of Windsor to provide housing there.

A huge majority of the’delegates to the 53rd annual conlrention were from the United tates.

Welland delegate Bill Lewis noted the Kiwanis motto is ‘We build’ and said, “A blanket endorsement of the Vietnam war is inconsistent with that objective.”

WLU has none, while Waterloo has the Minota Hagey residence for graduate women, which has had only about 20 applications for the 75 beds. Meanwhile, the Philip Street 1 co-op will be close to the wire for September completion. The 288 beds for single students should be done before September 1, but the 63 married student apartments may not be ready by September 15.

Students battle proponents of immigration bun LONDON CUPI)-Left-wing students battled with demonstators calling for a ban on immigration Sunday. Police thwarted a student attempt to interrupt the antiimmigration march near Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s residence, but Students later succeeded in convronting the group at the houses of parliament. The march of 500 longshoremen and meat porters arrived at parliament where 200 students had waited 30 minutes after a pro-immigration demonstration. The students and marchers hurled stones, rails and banners at each other, but were restrained by a police cordon. Later, the marchers dispersed and were pursued by some students. Several dock workers took refuge in a subway station, while others ran. Students caught up with some of the marchers later on Fleet Street and fighting flared briefly.

Student loans will be closer to the university next week. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is opening its branch in the campus center Monday. The branch in the basement of the campus center is designed to provide general banking services for the university. Commerce has had experience with universities. It has been on campus at the University of
Ottawa for some time and it has a branch immediately adjacent to the University of Guelph. There are also several branches close to the University of Toronto which cater largely to students and faculty. The bank will have six staff including manager Harold Bateman. Bateman said there won’t be any official opening on Monday
but there may be one next fall. But the bank will be opened by the Aryan Affairs Commission. The commission staged the opening of the campus center in March. ACC chancellor Harold D. Goldgoing to be brick said, “We’re there, when the Brinks truck comes with the money and I intend to countersign each bill.”

Enrolment jump smaller this year For the first time in Waterloo’s eleven-year history, there will be no grand escalation of enrolment. After last year’s jump from 5400 to 7000-about 30 percentthis year’s planned jump is quite sedate : about 14 percent to 8000. Assistant registrar Bruce Lumsden said Wednesday 2200 freshmen have been accepted and confirmed their intention to register at Waterloo. Most of these had been granted early admission, and 200 fresh-men are expected to be admitted when the department of education sends grade 13 marks to the registrar’s office next week. The 2400 first-year class will be 100 more than last year. Early admissions procedures have expedited work for the registrar’s office. They were adopted for a large volume this year since non-departmental grade 13

tions is right. Legally the board of governors is the university. The University of Waterloo Act and its amendments give the board full legal powers-its will is the will of the university. This is the arrangement in English-Canadian uni versities. The board owns the land and buildings which house the university. The board appoints the president, vicepresidents, deans, department heads, even faculty members, and all the other “officers, agents and servants of the university.” It even appoints itself. A clause in
the act states “Except as otherwise pmvided in this act, all members of the board shall be elected by the board.” The board has final authority in disciplining or expelling students.

of anachronistiC~ seem to indicate. The University of Waterloo’s board has never turned down a proposed faculty member, nor has it ever fired one. But it has happened at other universities, like Simon Fraser and United College (now University of Winnipeg. ) On the operating side, university president ,Hagey says, “Our board does not enter into the detailed operation of the university to as great an extent as at some other universities. The board is a body which approves, disapproves or refers-practically everything on which our board acts comes to it from some On the operating side, university president Hagey says, “Our board does not enter into the detailed operation of the university to as great an extent as at some other universities. The board is a body which approves, disapproves or refers-practically everything on which our board acts comes to it from some part of the organisation.” If this non-meddling situation is somewhat unique, it can be seen as stemming from the board’s origins. A report on university government prepared for the Faculty Association in January 1965 explained the situation as follows: “Where the Waterloo board is different from that of other institutions is in the circumstances attending the university’s founding. The current president of the university was one of its principal founders and the present board represents a group who remained faithful to him through a period of considerable strife and uncertainty. Rather than having chosen the president, as would be the case in a longer-established university, they have in many cases been chosen by him.” (Note: In 1956, at the time of the intended federation of Waterloo College and Waterloo College Associate Faculties (under which the co-op programs were introduced) into the University of Waterloo College, a split in the Waterloo , College board developed. As a result, the Central Canada Synod of-the Lutheran Church defeated the proposal that the federation into a new provincially-supported, non-denominational university go ahead. President Hagey resigned as president of Waterloo College and took over the reins of the new university. More than half the college’s board of governors resigned, to become the nucleus of the university’s board. ) This means that Waterloo’s president and senior administrative officers hold a great deal of power. One wonders what Hagey’s successor will encounter in relations with the board, when personal loyalty is no longer a factor. The board thus appears to be a figurehead in the university’s structure. It meets but four times a year, it receives reports, does not initiate programs and is not involved in the day-to-day processes of the university-teaching and research. What then does the board do? The most obvious role of the board concerns the business of raising funds. There are two sources for university capital (building and equipment) and operating funds. The government is the main source of revenue.-the other is the private sector-business, industry, en dowments and gifts. In the past the board has been needed to exert its influence on the government for its contribution and on their fellow capitalists for the other share. But with the tremendous growth of universities in the past decade, the contributions from the private sector have accounted for much less of the total gobbled up by the universities. Provincially-supported universities like Waterloo are now on a formula financing system for operating grants and will be on a similar system for capital funding. In the calculation of the operating grant, a student’s “value” is determined on his course and year and this value ( 1, l%, 2 up to 6) is multiplied by the basic income unit of $1450. The details of the capital grants formula are still being worked out, but grants will be based on space allotment-classrooms, labs, offices-on a 100 percent government grant basis. The board’s inability to function as the recruiter of funds from industry and business and the general public is evidenced in the progress of the tenth-anniversary fund which is falling far behind the antici-
l
pated goal. The recently-released Davidson-Iler report on _university relations states, “The failure to actively discharge their responsibilities as board members is exemplified. ..most critically in fundraising. It is a weakness the university cannot afford.” President Hagey says, “The board brings to the university a wide breadth of experience on fiscal and physical matters. They watch the overall budget.” The argument that the university needs outside expertise in its ‘estatemanagement’ functions is a weak one when one considers the administrative structure of the university. Accountants, planners, architects and other professional persons are employed in great numbers and these persons are in touch with the day-to-day operation of the university. Duff-Berdahl r e p o r t, The Government in Canada, published in March, 1966,. rejected any structure of university government which did not follow the traditional board-senate, fiscal-academic split. It encouraged control of the senate by faculty. (In many places, including Waterloo, the composition of the senate, the educational policymaking body, is weighted to the benefit of the administrative officers and alumni of the university and at Waterloo even includes six highschool principals). But Duff-Berdahl rejected control of the university by a single-tiered structure which would combine the functions of both board and senate. “It seems to us to contain a risk that the academic issues will take second place to the more pressing fiscal and administrative problems.” In its brief to the committee currently studying the problem of university government, the Federation of Students said in May, 1967 : “We assert the impossibility of separation of fiscal and academic matters, and feel that the risks entailed in a single governing body would be small in comparison to the advantages gained.” This proposal has also been made by Dr. Claude Bissell, president of the University of Toronto, who called the separation of powers between the financial and academic “a system of double innocence. ” Another argument presented for retention of the board is that since it is composed of persons with the same sorts of backgrounds and the same values as those in control of Queen’s Park, it keeps the department of university affairs “off our backs”. If faculty and students were in control of the university, they say, the government would interfere in the university’s internal affairs. But this argument conveniently forgets the growth of formula financing which controls income and influences internal budgeting, and that section of the University of Western Ontario act passed in the legislature last summer which includes a section requiring annual financial statements of the university to be tabled in the house. This is a move which can be expected as other universities amend their acts. Also it is now rumored that the government is about to accede to opposition demands for the ‘establishment of an independent grants commission to be placed between the government and the universities to control funds. Such a system exists in Great Britain and has been called for in the past by the Committee of Presidents of the provincially-supported universities and by the Ontario Union of Students. Of the three briefs presented to the university government committee (which has been meeting irregularly since October 1966 and is expected to report this fall), only the federation suggested fundamental restructuring of the government of the university. The senate-the new supreme governing body-would be composed of about 56 members drawn from the faculty, students, administration and an advisory body of community persons called the assembly. The faculty association’s brief suggested a governing council with most of the present functions of the board, composed almost equally of faculty and lay representatives, with a couple of students as well. The new senate membership would be limited to faculty and academic administrators. No students would be

Although it is unstated in either brief or in the debates which occur on the strut: ture of the university, the real reason for abolishing the board of governors is that it is an anachronism.. It is not really a question of getting, control out of the hands of absentee landlords-for in reality it is not there now.

It is not really a question of getting control out of the hands of absentee landlords-for in reality it is not there now. The power in the University of Waterloo rests in the hands of president Hagey and in his president’s council-a committee of deans, vicepresidents, the provost and the treasurer-which meets frequently and sets the policy for the university. It then sends it on to the board for rubberstamping. All lower committees dovetail into this body and on occasion have their decisions reversed or returned to them for “reconsideration”. The problem in its starkest termsis simply how to make this body responsible to the whole academic community. A revamped senate and governing council or a super-senate might do this, given other conditions, like openness of all deliberations. Poor internal relations and mistrust of administrative decisionmaking stems to a great extent from secret decision-making. It has been suggested by the Federation and by the Davidson-Iler report that meetings of of governing bodies should be open to observers and to the press and that only confidential or difficult matters should be left to the privacy of committee.

I The power structure as it really is must be revealed, and it must be . , reformed and made responsible to the faculty and students-who are the university. Don’t hold your breath. Big business in any one city is made up of a small clique of wealthy industrialists, lawyers or bankers. They deal with each other professionally every day, belong to the same clubs, invite each other to social functions, become directors of each other’s companies and do favors for one another. . None of this is unusual or culpable. After all, you can hardly be blamed for doing favors for your friends, acquaintances of business associates. Especially when you have the money or the influential contacts to get the job. done, and especially when your friend would do the same for you, and probably will. Big business is out to make money, and if a favor done for a friend will result in a return favor bringing money or influence, that favor will be done. This situation is made possible by and results in an ever increasing disparity between the rich and the poor. The system is self-perpetuating, keeping the same small circle of friends in the know and in the money. Almost all the favors are done in and fer the group. The situation is very conducive to immoral use of power. Contracts somehow do get let to friends, rather than lowest or best bidders. Important information does reach friends before it reaches the public. The situation is discriminatory, unjust, cancerous, ugly and vaguely suicidal: and one day the people will rise up and do something about it.

Come with me, and hear a tale of long, long ago, and of the very near present, and unfortunately of the future as well. Listen as I relate a tale, a legend, a.myth indeed, ‘The Mvth of Education’. Education. was a man, who lived in the remotest past. He was once a very great man, but he succumbed to the pressures of his desires. Standing as he did, head and shoulders above the multitude, he could see a great way off, and being of a somewhat loquacious nature, he would relate to those of shorter stature, what it was that he saw. One day, during one of the informal discussions he was wont to carry on with his friends and neighbours, it occnrred to him that it might be. a very good idea if he tiere to impose a more formal structure on these sessions and that they should meet at regular times and talk for specific hours throughout the week. He. concluded that he would teach them. Accordinglv. he called together the people of the area, and informed them of his decision and at what hour they should ‘meet at his house o,” the next dav. Evervone was verv pleased, and very excited, and all agreed to meet at the specified time on \ the morrow. Education awaited with great impatience .and anticipation the advent of his first class, and spent many hours ‘in. preparing himself, and. he decided that they should talk about the relationship, between people and the tremendous advantages and pleasures to be gained from such re+ lationships. He decided that this would be a good topic of discussion to start his experiment with, because thev had already enjoyed many fruitful and interesting dialogues on the subject. It was something with which they were all familiar. and something on which everyone had an ,opinion. It would permit each person
to get the ‘feel’ of what he was trying to do, and help them to work their way into the spirit of the thing. In the morning he awoke with an .even greater feeling of expectancy and he was utterly surprised when his nearest neighbour sent his son over to apologize for his absence from the meeting that afternoon. The son explained that his father had, in his tossing and turning of the night, thrown off his bedclothes, and as a’result had taken a slight chill, nothing serious mind you, but still it would be better’ for him not to risk going outside today. Education was very disappointed to hear that this man, who was one of ,the most intelligent men in the district and one on whom he had counted a great deal to help lead the discussion, would not be there. But he comforted himself that there were many other people who were going to attend, and the attendance of one man more or less would not matter. At last the hour arrived, and the people had assembled, although there were not nearly as many present as had been invited, ,and some had not even had the courtesy to send their regrets and their reasons for not being present. Education stepped to the front of the assemble and was suddenly greeted with thunderous silence. He cleared his throat and essaved to” begin, ‘Friends and neighbours, I have called vou together this afternoon, that we may begin a new and different method of learning. I thought that we might begin with a consideration of the effect upon us that exists because of our relationship with other people. I have several ideas that you might find quite interesting. At this point, he could proceed no further, for one man jumped up immediately and cried, I don’t agree that this is, the proper place to start our discussion. I want to talk about the new economic policies our government has just Address Chevron
passed into law. I think that is a much more vital and interesting topic to discuss, because it is something which is affecting us right now, and is something with which.we must deal immediately. Here another person started to his feet and said, ‘I agree that Education is starting the discussion in the wrong manner, but I think we should rather discuss. whv we are here in the first place. As a philosophic question, that is the first thing that we must answer. Now evervone in the assembly began to taik, all at once. Some wanted to discuss one thing, some another. One group decided they wanted to discuss the economic question, and moved over to a corner by themselves, and talked verv loud and very fast. The clamor and the confusion was terrible to behold. Three of four people sneaked out of the back door. Poor Education. He was completely distraught. First he went to one group, then remonstrated with another, Then he tried to get a few of the leading citizens to listen to him. Not one of them would. Finally he stood on a chair and screamed at the top of his lungs. Gradually the din began to subside, as first one person stopped talking, then another. At last all were silent. Then Education said. ‘Listen to me, my friends. It does not mattes where we start. that is immaterial to our purposes. Wha’t is important is that we do start. Let us then go back to the beginning and consider the relationship that may exist between individuals.’ Education went back to the front of the room and he looked out on the people. And he saw that some were intently gazing out of the window. Others were looking at the floor or at their fingernails. One person was reading a newspaper, another stifled a yawn : one was staring at the legs of a shapelv . girl seated four your letter to Feedbkk, the Chevron reserves the right to shorten letters.
chairs ahead of him. Some people, this time left by the side window. Only one person was paving anv attention to him, and she was sitting expectantly with pen in hand waiting to copv down anv-. thing he said. ’ Suddenly Education was verv angry. He said, ‘Oh how stupid ‘I have been! What I have tried to do today shall go down in history as the must ludicrous event in our annals. My process of learning shall be called Education’s folly, it shall be known as the educatory process. I see now that this process is verv like the process of shitting. The pleasure to be derived is in -direct proportion to the turd emitted. Today, I have emitted a large turd. In fact so large..that there may be no crap left in my brain and I will become real and genuine. Now I see the folly of academics and scholarship. We have forgotten that our words only point at our meaning. They are not the meaning. Today we have tried to study words. Herein lies the demise of academic s. ’ Education thought for a time, and then cried out, ‘How stupid is my folly, that I should attempt to teach. I am as a false prism that breaks the true light into false parts and distributes it into small proportions, to people who find none of it palatable. Indeed my follv is great! ’ Again he ‘was silent, and then he spoke in a voice deep and low, rising out of the very bowels of his soul, and looking at the class with glazed eyes. he said, “You are masturbating on the altar of Knowledge. You do not Know. even as vou pretend to. Go in your separate ways. for separate you shall always remain.’ Then Education laughed a long and hideous laugh. There was <nothing else that he could do.

Lady’s Not for Burning -humor chances missed by Betty
Trot-t
Chevron staff
Take a young man who wants to be hanged but is unable to interest anyone in doing the job. Add to this a young girl who gets mistaken by the locals for a witch. He is trying t,o escape the world’s evils and she complicates his plight by distracting everyone’s attention. Of course they fall in love. Then there are two brothers, one a happygo-lucky type, the other moody and dull. Naturally they are both in love with a sweet young thing. Alas, she rejects each and runs off with the town clerk. Include a fuss-budget mother, -a chaplain in love with his violin, a distraught mayor, a town drunk, and a robed figure whom I never quite placed. Lump them all together in a room in the mayor’s house, in a town called Cool Clary, in and around the year 1400. With such a haphazard group of characters and far-fetched plot, Christopher Fry’s The Lady’s Not for Burning is bound to be at least a bit humerous. Most of the humour in the play is in the lines rather than in the situation, and some of the lines in this theatrical trifle were really very funny. Unfortunately, most were missed by the audience. When someone did catch a funny line he usually found himself snickering alone. There’s no doubt that the cast of Waterloo students had talent. Neil Walsh and Saskia Tuyn in the lead roles displayed considerable ability. commanded Accomplished performers, they the audience’s attention with excellent stage presence and good voices. But Neil, cast as the would-be suicide, and Saskia as the victimized townsgirl often over- dramatised and killed the humor in their lines. He delivered his lines in a manner suited to King Lear, she as though she were Lady MacBeth, neither of which is a funny character. It was a
mis-interpretation of two roles that were intended to compliment one another but they emoted independently and their final union was unnatural and forced. Ann Walsh as the mother also over-played her part but to a lesser extent. She lost a’ good many quips by announcing them instead of tossing them off lightly. Peter Moore, in a -difficult role as the mayor, performed with reserve. On stage he was a much needed coherence factor in a cast whose members didn’t relate well to one another. Too many of them played to the audience. Actors and actresses often forget there are others on stage when they are speaking. A play is team-work, not individual effort. Moore may have lacked depth, but his presence was felt. The minor characters, on the other hand, were delightful. Richard Romaine and Colin Hayward as the quarrelsome brothers made a good team. Romaine, as Nicholaus showed excellent potential as a comedian. His actions were natural and his lines well-timed. Compliments also go to Alec Cooper as the chaplain-a marvellous character portrayal and well-appreciated by the audience, Karen Schmidt who took a sweet-young-thing-role and gave it depth, and Derek Elion as the town clerk, whose only failing in his performance was in the intentionaly stilted love scene. The minors were good, but they alone cannot carry a comedy. Nevertheless the three or four lead players in this play were much better suited to Shakespeare. My feeling was that several of the minor players would have made funnier leads. On the whole the play suffered from misinterpretation, and miscasting, with all kinds of talent misplaced. With the frequent use director Mita Scott Hedges makes of her experienced players as leads, I would only suggest that she stick to serious drama with them and let the new-comers take on the comedies.
“I think that if I had unexpectedly been created an archbishop, I would have banned Tartuffe.” Critics of the original version of Moliere’s play were surprised it was allowed to run and it is obvious after watching the newest production that it has lost little since 1664. Jean Gascon’s interpretation has a quality about it which makes it relevant even in the twentieth century. .William Hutt as Tartuffe, a hypocrite, handles his part with rigid sobriety. As a pious religious fanatic he draws the audience into his part with him and makes it easy to accept the fact that he could take his mother for every cent she owned. He moves about the stage so stiffly and erectly that it seems as though a sneeze from anyone would shatter him. Orgon’ s mother, Mme Pernelle, played by Barbara Bryne, enters at the very beginning and her appearance foretells Tarfuffe’s impact on her son. She is a pulpit-pounder from a long way back.’ Tartuffe’s “mark” for the story, Orgon, is played by Douglas Rain. He is hopelessly fooled by anyone and the seeming religiousness of his guest turns him against any in the household who complains of the man. This

v’~’ In typical Moliere fashion, the play is wrapped up in two minutes flat in a whirl of action where the villian is vanquished and all is put right by the kindly king. The Stratford Shakespearean Festival has never been bad and the 1968 edition is no different. It has Tartuffe-good for a few belly laughs. lots of chuckles, a fair amount of thought, and awe for the quality of production.

Sight and sound. The Electric Circus. The mantra of the Maharishi. The message of Marshall McLuhan. The Beatles. The beat. This is the turned-on, tuned-in, audio-visual world of today’s youth. This is the generation that goes to the movies to find out whether to read the book. This is the generation which must be sold on the excitement of a new thing before trying it out. This is the generation responding to the new. The multiple screen. Stereophonic sound. A changing perception of time. Of realism. Watch a bullet in flight on film. See a flower grow.from a seedling in a second. See on satellite-sent TV the death of a man in Vietnam the day he is shot. And we’re trying to compete with all this in education by selling the same old t textbooks to our students. We’re trying to educate this generation as though there were two worlds. One the swinging ‘60s. And one the floundering ‘40s. Education is not where the action is. Advertising, movies, TV; magazinesthe modern media have responded to the Now. God knows, the content of our education programs, our textbooks, our approach, all are bad, enough . But the,
easiest thing to repair is form. It doesn’t take too much creativity to change from. The technology is here. The ability. The capacity. Technology isn’t the begin-all and endall. Inventing books didn’t solve basic problems. Inventing fire didn’t solve basic problems (except warmth). Yet technology is important. And it must be used wisely and fast as we compete in a swift world with our message. Education. With our educational material woefully lacking, students are not held. They are not talked to in their own language. In their own medium. Our textbooks are .about as innovative as the green blackboard. No glare. No glaring success. It costs most college students at least $8,000 a year to go to school, and they spend a very small amount of that on textbooks. Put $2 more into the physical appearance of every textbook, and turn the students on. Larger page size, more white space, lots of color, exciting use of graphics, margins designed to be written in so the book becomes personalized.

Where credit is deserved Amazingly enough we do occasionally throw bouquets. Their rarity is not our fault. This weeks batch of flowers goes to Jack Brown and the ancillary departments reporting to him-food services, the bookstore and the print shop. The quality of the food and the price of ‘books are two traditional bitches on university campuses. In recent years students at Waterloo have discarded this tradition. Probably the greatest tribute that can ‘be paid to these departments is that any student who complains about the’m usually finds his complaints strongly opposed by his fellows. This is particularly hard to believe in the case of food services. Students tend to expect a lot at a low price. Bob Mudie, food-services head, has been giving it to them. The bookstore has been selling text books at no profit since the November 1966 sit-in. Its chief, Elsie Fischer, is reported to be doing her best to consider service to students first. Both faculty and students often attest to her willingness to help them get the books they need. In the print shop Jim Hammond is running an efficient and honest operation having taken over a setup badly in need of both vir-
tues a year and a half ago. While he has’ little. direct contact with students his department plays a key role in communication. It was one of the few complimented in the Davidson-Iler report on the university’s image. No one, would suggest that these departments are being run perfectly-just well. Why should one group of departments be in such comparatively good condition? One reason is the awareness on the part of all the department heads, and of Jack Brown, their boss, that they are here to serve, and particularly to serve the students and faculty. This awareness is reinforced by the second reason. The ancillary enterprises committee, to which all these men report, has student representatives sitting on it as regular members. Brown fully admits this has played a maj.or part in these departments’ success. The consciousness of the student members, and their presence as an obvious communication link, has been key Brown feels. Other’ departments who presently think they are on the receiving edge of the student bludgeon would do well to study these exceptions. It might mean receiving bouquets-instead of flowers-at-your-headstone. .
It’s just plain ridiculous * The MacMaster report on student participation in university government said, “Students ought to be included on all university committees except those the circumstances of which provide
acceptable reasons for excluding them. ” * Summer weekend didn’t sell all their beer at the semi informal despite the reputed shortages of the nectar of the gods.
Student council motion, Dec. 5, 1966: That the words “of the Federation of Students” be added to the sign outside the creative arts board office reading “Creative Arts Board”. From the minutes of the executive board, Feb. 22, 1967: With regard to item 7 of the Dec. 5, 1966minutes of the student council, the board was advised that the action requested does not appear to have been taken. Mr. Olinski (the creative arts board chairman) will report to ‘council on the matter. Student council motion, Feb. 20, 1968: That before any further allocations are granted, a sign be placed over the office door identifying the offices as those of “Creative Arts Board, Federation of Students”. As of June 10, 1968, creative arts was still receiving funds despite the fact that it had not complied with the year and a half old order.

“I don’t know why they have to come here anyway-+hey’re just crowding places that Canadian students should get.” That statement ‘referring to foreign students in Canada, was made by Mrs. Edith Beausoleil, head of the university’s foreignstudent and housing departments. Many students, and even staff, have had a long history. of trouble with Beausoleil but no one was willing to come forward and complain. Now some people have. The Chevron has received notarized documents reporting remarks made by Mrs. Beausoleil. In one reference she is quoted
as saying; “If it has anvthing to . do with Jews, I don’t want any. part of it.” She even told .one person foreigners are attempting to run the country, they shouldn’t be allowed in ‘Canada, and they are causing all of the trouble here and in the United States. These sentiments make it impossible for Mrs. Beausoleil to carry out her job: Her ideas have no place in a university. administration. The students of the university can no longer afford to ask for Beausoleil’s , resignation, they must now demand her dismissal.

One might well speculate today whether Canada may soon have a parliamentary committee on un-Canadian activities. Canadians have long looked askance at the American tendency to find subversive communist plots everywhere they look. And we have deplored the violence and infringements on liberty that U.S. authorities engage in and take for granted. Yet these very tactics are coming more and more into use in our own country every day. Wiretapping is spreading and is being condoned by many in authority. Kitchener-Waterloo police have been armed with mace. And the Royal Canadian Mounted Police seem to be trying harder every day to emulate
of liberty? J
their American counterparts’ use of irresponsible authority. A case in point with the RCMP is their recent searching of an Ottawa student’s apartment after he returned from a CUS seminar. Attending a CUS seminar or congress has long been a guaranteed way of getting yourself into the RCMP files, and rumors about the presence of agents at these affairs are usually widespread and widely-believed. All of that could be viewed as silly antics. Their recent steps can’t. Those who were employed to preserve liberty are destroying it. Canadians would do well to move quickly to put a stop to this new threat to their few remaining freedoms.

Saigon (GINS)-South Vietnamese students are becoming increasingly discontent with their country’s state of affairs. This shows most strikingly in student attitudes toward the alliance of national, democratic and peace forces, a front organization of middle-class intellectuals created by the Viet Cong in April. Few students think these men-teachers and exstudents well known in the university .circles-are communists. “Personally, I admire them,” said one student, “They have had the strength and courage to do something for their beliefs.” Most students view them as anti-U.S. nationalists. The South Vietnamese government fears the Viet Cong will provoke a confrontation between restless students and itself. “The communists want blood, said one cabinet minister last week. “They would like to see police shoot into a student demonstration as happened in some of the past Buddhist crises.” Apart from an ineffective protest against alleged rigging of last year’s presidential elections, the students have played little part in public politics since the 1966 Buddhist riots.
Uruguay Montivideo (special)-Students operating in small bands threw rocks and flaming tar bombs at city buses here June 19. On the same day, the ministry of the interior announced 87 stu-

BfUZil Rio De Janeiro (GINS)--The Brazilian student revolt has developed into a major threat to the militarygovernment. A recent protest brought massive student and public support. The people are protesting’ the quality of public education which the influential daily Jornal do Brazil calls an authentic calamity . Marshal Arthur Da Costa E Silva’s government announced after the demonstration it was preparing educational reforms but there was no reference to immediate steps. Students have threatened to return to the streets unless their demands are met. Most ,observers look for a renewal of street fighting by a radical student faction dedicated to destroying the government. “Any change in this government means nothing to us. Our fight is against the dictatorship itself,” said student leader Vladimir Palmeira.
Thailand Bangkok (special)-Thai students clashed with police June 22 in Thailand’s first political demonstration in 11 years. The 2000 students were protesting the retention of martial law under Thailand’s new constitution.
