Operations vicepresident Al Adlington noted this was impossible unless they were signed in by members. He also said they couldn’t let students drink in a different area and use the same bar. Iler brought up the proposal for a club of different name that could include students over 21. This was welcomed by most committee members. Discussion wandered on the topic of the faculty club and its desire for segregated facilities. Adlington said the original campus center plans called for an exclusive faculty area. Federation external-relations chairman Dave Young reminded him this had been abandoned just prior to construction. Johnson pointed out that the faculty club included only about 55 percent of the faculty, thus further limiting the number of faculty who could use the

Scott suggested the pub area would then be closed to underage students. Adlington agreed this was in consistent with the idea of not restricting areas on a permanent basis. Johnson replied, “I don’t think students under 21 would object to their facilities being used this way. ” “Devious,” interjected Fryer cynically (again). Adlington turned to faculty club problems. “If the club goes another year without exclusive control of some area, it may begin losing memberships and this will make financing a building difficult,” he said. “Use the old federation build* continued

In his opinion, president Hagey may be put in a delicate position” of having to balance the health of the faculty club against the committee’s recommendation. Johnson maintained it was not that drastic as there were other places the club could set up, such as the old Waterloo post office where the optometry clinic is. compromise such as Any giving the faculty club priority in booking the pub was rejected. The motion to deny the main request for continu0u.s) exclusive use was carried with only Adlington and Scott opposed. What is the faculty club? One of the original projects of the faculty association was to get a faculty club started. The faculty club organization that now exists grew out of the association as a committee. The last faculty association president Hugh MacKinnon was actively involved in the club. Current association president Robert Huang is careful to note the distinction between the two groups now. The president of the faculty club is athletic director Totzke.

On Monday freshmen will see the football Warriors in action. Initiation ends that night. Tuesday night the year-long teach-in on education, “University the contemporary zoo” will begin. The first in this series of cages will be a mixed-media happening in the campus center. Films, loud sound effects, etc., will be -used to develop the 1. themes of freedom and uncertainty. Mikes will be placed throughout the hall to allow stu_ dents to participate by expressing opinions and feelings. Wednesday night will be a similar thought-provoker, but quieter. Ways of enjoying life will be the theme with profs Leo Johnson and Don Gordon throwing out ideas. The Association will be here on the Thursday night for a concert in the gym. Friday night is the final dance, at which the Fkosh Qtieen will be crowned. On the purpose of orientation Loney said, ‘!We hope to interest a few people in active participation in university activities. What I would like to see is some questioning of life-f or people to define their personal positions and maybe reconsider them.” I
During registration freshhen will be divided into groups of ten, each with a “mother”. Division will be random, not based on faculty. Loney hopes these will be discussion groups with the mothers acting not as leaders but as resource people. Each _group will tour the whole campus. The -programs will be similar to those a-of other years, but designed to get people thinking about their nositions in the university andA the community. Saturday September 14 will be Slave Day, organized by Circle K to raise money for three charities, including the YMCA. That night there is a dance on the Village rooftop with the Town Crier and Grant Smith and the Power. Sunday is a scavanger hunt, followed Sunday night by a concert, possibly by Pete. Seeger but this is not yet confirmed. Tickets will be available to non-freshmen by mail the middle of August. Concerts will hopefully be held in the new gjrm this year, SO there will be no more getting lost in the rain looking for Kitchener Auditorium. *Facu/fY

Totzke says a\ strong group in the club is not in favor of mingling with students and prefers to be exclusive. “It goes back to tradition,” he said. The club has about 370 members. In addition to faculty, members of the board of governors, senate and certain levels of administrative staff are eligible. “There is an eligibility clause for membership,” said Totzke. Who pays for the faculty club? The province will not make any capital allowance for it as a fbod-service facility, :basidally because of its restrictive nature within the university comtiunities.

At the Co-op by Mary Hamlin Chevron staff
Anyone interevted in demonology or how to make a million, the theatre of the absurd or yoga and Zen philosophy, may have the opportunity to join fellow devotees in seminar groups starting this fall. A free university project has been started on campus and will be based in the new Phillip Street co-op residence. Inspired by Rochdale College in Toronto, it will provide a meeting place where faculty, staff, students and other interested people in the community can set up their own courses of study and decide their own pace and development. This experiment is an answer to the frequent complaint that students are being processed in factory-like universities and that they are emerging with narrow concepts. “At the present we expect to offer courses as a complement to the degree, rather than as an explained Larry alternative,” Sadler, a board of directors member of the Co-op and representative for the new college. The University of Toronto is now beginning to accept some of the Rochdale courses as credit courses, but it will be some time before this standard is reached in Waterloo. Nova Res (the name means ‘new thing’) originated when 15 people decided to investigate the feasibility of setting up a free college like Rochdale, and contributed $5 each to underline their enthusiasm. The membership, consisting mainly of faculty and students, grew to thirty-two, and interest cards were sent out to find out \the six topics that interested the participants most. The answers were as wide ranging as demonology and erotic eastern literature to conversational French, Canada and the
emergent nations, and Black Power. There were over one hundred topics suggested. Nova Res is sponsored by the educational committee of the Waterloo Cooperative Residence Incorporated and the Federation of Students of the University of Waterloo, as well as being affiliated with the Worker’s Educational Association of Canada and the Student Christian Movement. Committees in the Co-op and WUC have contributed $50 each. Tuition fees will be set at $35? $25 of which will be spent by each group on books to build up a library. In other words, a group of four interested in pop literature of the 1930’s will have $100 among them to spend on library books. “We will have to concentrate on arts and general interest subjects because of the limited budget, but we may be able to use laboratory equipment if professors in the science and engineering faculties join the seminar groups,” said Sadler. He stressed the intention is not to arrange formal lecture courses dominated by faculty members, but rather to aim for freedom of study through a united interest, outside the rigid limits set by universities. Not all students will be enthusiastic with Nova Res because they already feel burdened with oppressive work loads. But for those who say they are suffering from a culturally deprived atmosphere, here is an opportunity to supplement their diet. Nova Res will operate partly from the campus center but mainly from the seminar rooms of the Phillip Street residence.

It will also house single students n~zclNova Rcs, the Co-op’s experimental college where students will develop their own coursesJ double rooms in four buildings, and 63 apartments in four more buildings. The apartments are one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living-room. The rent for the apartment units is $115 and $140 per month, according to the number of bedrooms. The term fees are $375 for single and $350 for double rooms. Both are slightly higher than the fees at Hammarskjold House and the houses-owned by the Co-op along University Avenue. Each member is also required to invest a member loan of $25 annually for four years refundable in 10 years. It is Co-op policy to have each member invested in the residence venture, hopefully to encourage responsibility and maturity. The whole Waterloo Co-op project is a timely reprimand to those who content that Canadian students are apathetic. The movement started as a Toronto branch at the instigation of students? several enterprising who were not happy with the restrictions and cost of the available residential facilities. In 1964 there were 27 students; in 1967 there were 220 plus 80 non-residents; in 1968, 510 single students plus those in the 63 apartments are expected. This rapid expansion and development

The Minota Hagey residence for graduate women. students should be ready for use by the fall. Construction is proceeding on schedule despite several strikes in the building industry this summer. The registrar’s office has received about 35 applications for the 75 spaces, leaving the newest compound unfilled. Fourthyear women may be admitted if applications are insufficient received from grad students. The residence is named after Dr. Hagey’s first wife who was actively involved in campus life during the early years of campus growth.
Wutcr-bombing from the roof of Hammarskjold House is a reguluv occurrence in the prank-filled lives of Co-op residents.
is a clear indication that the idea is a good one and is, in general, working. It has not all been clear sailing, however, and mistakes made during the infancy of the Co-op will hopefully be ironed out and avoided in the Phillip Street extension. Last year the Co-op lost $10,000 during the absence of Al Wood, the general manager. This, as he when the voice of said, “resulted reality was lost” and the hydro and water bills rose astronomically. The sanitary conditions of the Co-op also came under fire during this black period but the house committee members today are quick to assert that the loss has almost completely been made up and standards have improved again. Earlby Wakefield, who has been with the Co-op from its beginnings, feels that good experience has been gained in the economics of running the residences. Costs are kept down by having the students do three hours “fag work” a week in the kitchens and halls, as well as clean their own rooms. The residence is not spotless nor luxurious but the fees average about $100 less than the university-owned residences. “Our food is, on the whole, better. Especially on Sundays when the students prepare it themselves,” said Wakefield.
The idea for the residence came from Mrs. Dorethea Walter a French prof and former dean of women. It is the only building on campus to obtain public donations for financing. One major
donation Kaufman fund.
Food is purchased by the students to the tune of a projected $2000 per week in 1968. There are four employees at Hammarskjold House: two cooks, a general manager, ;and a book-keeper. The high academic failure rate of students living without supervision in the lively Co-op has been another criticism levelled at Hammarskjold House. Students feel this could be overcome if there was a greater proportion of returning students and less freshmen. There are a number of relationships still to be worked out, such as the problem of decentralization. Division chairmen and shared responsibility with student committee members should offset the image of “Big Al’s Coop” that has occasionally rankled members. As important as the saving of living costs is the right of the residents to govern themselves and to run their own organiza tion. Some Co-op members may agree with university treasurer Bruce Gellatly’s statement that “In the 1960’s it appears that the motivation for students to develop housing on the co-operative line . . .includes rebellion against authority, the principal of selfdetermination, and perhaps last, economics.”

The second and third floor lounges overlook the great hall. There are 75 single rooms, each with 130 square feet of floor space. Each room has a bed, desk, chair, armchair, vanity and dresser. There are no dining facilities, but each room has a sink to facilitate light cooking. Each of the three floors also has a lounge area and refrigerator. All floor space is carpeted. The roof area is reasonably enclosed to permit sunbathing with a minimum of clothes. In the basement is a dining area which seats eight people and a small kitchen area where food can be prepared.

for graduate women since womer of this age do not want to live in such residences as the Village or Habitat 69. There are no rules or restrictions. Mrs. Hildegard Marsden, dean of women, said that ‘“people of this age can be considered adults” and restrictions should not be placed on them. But there will be one person provided with a free one-bedroom apartment who will be responsible for the maintenance of order. This position is as yet unfilled. The only criticisms which might be raised are the lack of food services and parking facilities. However it was felt food services would not be feasible as the residents would not be keeping regular hours and the food services building is not far away. Mrs. Marsden said parking facilities would not be necessary as “all graduates are issued parking stickers to the lot across University Ave. ”

Students us nlggefs unite: nothing to lose but booze Farber’s metaphor is making a lasting stand. (Ed. note-Jerry Farber -wrote ‘The. student as nigger’. ) Last week’s note concerning faculty pubs, ad infinitum, has been awaiting a comment. It would have warmed me to have heard someone say that they weren’t going to let the faculty have their own pub. As usual the proletariat bitches, but does absolutely sweet. We need the administration backing or we will never see the suds. It’s certain that the lords will never pursue this specific topic unless we show them our thumbs (up). Are there any names associated with this booze business or will it remain a .topic of conversaDAVE OSBORNE engineering 1B I’ve never met herbut you’re not fuir I am shocked by your rather virulent attacks on Edith Beausoleil. If you sincerely believe she is incompetent-and worseprejudiced against any groups of people, and if you have proof of this, you should first take the matter up with the university administration and then if you feel that you have not been properly heard, publish all the relevant matter in the Chevron. You have no right to use the editorial pages of the Chevron to try to drum people out of office without first publishing all the facts. For example, I can understand her feelings of trying to help the students of this university first, before looking after others. After all she is employed by the university to look after the interests of Waterloo students. And I bet if she had to help the students of all the schools in this area and if some Waterloo students ran into difficulty finding housing,
they would bitch from here to hell. As for your accusation that Mrs. Beausoleil is prejudiced against certain groups of people, this is a serious charge to make. I repeat, you have no business making half-assed statements in your editorial without giving full details-first to the administration and then to the students. Finally, to put matters in proper perspective, I am myself a foreign student but have had no occasion to make use of the housing services and have never met Mrs. Beausoleil. I feel I am rea‘sonably impartial. I do respect your efforts to get good administration, but feel you should go about it in the right way. BAILY SESHAGIRI grad mechanical Ge’t your neck h U noosekampue kop song and dance On Saturday, the summer weekend committee held a volkspushing race. During the course of this race a student was injured when he fell between the cars. Upon completion of this race the disqualified Envoy team left to celebrate their moral victory. As the owner of the Envoy, Garnet Grant, drove up the village hill he was ordered to pull over by our kops. He was then told to leave his car and go over to the kruiser. He was then ordered into the back seat of the kruiser. When he asked why he should enter. ,the kruiser he was. told, “Because we told you too-that’s reason enough.” He was then told to produce his driver’s licence ‘and proff of ownershin. Grant questioned them as to their reasons for these demands. He was told that the race should not have taken place and that a student was hurt during this race. The kops then said that they would “get to the bottom of this,” and dismissed Grant. After firmly closing the rear door of the kruiser Grant proceeded to his own car. At this
point, the kops told him that he “could get his neck in a noose”. One of Grant’s passengers asked the kopsif their last itatement was a threat. “No it isn’t”, he was told. The passenger; Jim Kovacs, then told, them that they shouldn’t say things they didn’t mean. The kops then left their car and came over to the car and asked Kovacs if he lived at the co-op too. “Does it make any difference?” he asked. The kops then made the statement that we students seem to think that we own the campus. We said we only wanted to be treated as students and not as criminals. The kops then explained that the race should never have taken place. Well-they were right behind the row of cars as the starting gun ias fired! . We then told the two kops we weren’t trying to give them a hard time but that they had treated Grant in a churlish manner and; therefore, were treated the same way. They said they hadn’t given US a hard time! Oh, my, no! Why, they could ‘<have taken us into the office”. where we would have had to cool our heels for several hours /while we were interrogated. . ‘The moral of this letter is “do unto others as you wouldhave them do unto you”. If. the men on our security force treat us as people, not as convicts at a necktie party, we i shall treat them as Policemen* not as koPs. We do not question their motives for asking for ,a driver’s licence and ownership. We question their manner of asking. GARNET GRANT engineering 1B EDWARD GRANT mechanical2B I.

through what we call the track system, and what the English call streaming.
Re-
The track system means that even in schools that are technically desegregated, there is an internal segregation based upon test performance. Test performance is sometimes thought to represent innate intellectual ability. In fact, however, intelligence-test results merely reflect the conditions of one’s cultural origins.
Wheeler
A cultural barrier still lies in the Negroes’ path, and it will prove to be the most difficult one to eradicate This has to do with the acculturation process and the way it relates to the educational process. We know that the performance of children in schools is directly correlated with the cultural and economic status of their parents. Children from highly educated, affluent homes will inevitably make better grades, go to better schools, acquire higher degrees, and ultimately find better jobs than those from deprived homes. It is sometimes falsely concluded that this means that education is the bootstrap by which all can pull themselves out of deprivation and ascend the pinnacles of white middleclass society. : But that is transparently false, is it ran+3 One has to be middle class to start with, in order to be middle class at the end: Education as such has little .or nothing to do with it. The other side of this premise is that deprived boys and girls, starting in school, have no cultural reinforcement at home. They have no stimulus urging them toward cultural heights. They have limited verbal and reading skills to reinforce their schoolroom efforts. As a result they are automatically processed lUl#
Under the track system, those from culturally deprived homes are automatically passed through the grades regardless of performance, until legal school-leaving age is reached. At that time they are dumped out on the streets, where they will- spend the rest of their lives grubbing for existence through the offal of our cities. The second track is for those with low, but passable, achievement records. They are placed in the manual-arts, nonacademic track and are destined for the ‘menial, semiskilled trades. The highest, of course, are put into the liberal-arts, college ‘preparatory programs, and they inevitably will end up with college degrees and Establishment jobs.

Students -keep The faculty ’ > club has come around to the idea of using facilities in the campus center. But before you naively cry “Great” -listen to ‘the punch line; They want the students out! Not out of the whole building of course. These are reasonable men. They’d just like the pub’ and dining room to themselves. 1 Sure they think students are alright. But you wouldn’t want . to have to talk to one outside the office. Yes, the faculty club is a real credit to 45 percent of the faculty-the ones who aren’t members. And when the students finally

get fed up with the general miseducation they get around here and blame it on the faculty it will probably be the other 55 percent that pleads ,its innocence the loudest. Interaction between the three campus communities-students, staff and faculty-is desperately needed. It is already time that the student-niggers did a little integrating of facilities on campus. . If president Hagey over-rules the advisory committee decision not to grant the faculty club’s request for exclusive space, he will simply be asking for a studentnigger civil rights movement.
’
Now the question is whether certain people’s images are more important than service to the students. That’s what administrative inaction over the Edith Beausoleil question has boiled down to. Behind all the different arguments thrown up by .president Gerry Hagey and provost Bill Scott lie two truths. The first-they must know the problem exists. Scott has himself referred to Beausoleil as being somewhere between paranoic and normal (he argues it is the degree that is in question). Paul Gerster, assistant to the provost, has told Scott that to his own knowledge the remarks printed in last week’s editorial were fairly representative. Scott’s own secretary was a witness to one of - . those statements. Hagey knows all this but prefers to hope that in context the remarks might be taken another way. The second truth- their ignoring the problem stems from worrying about their own image. Hagey’s own way of putting this is that he’s afraid of demoralizing the staff. Such would be the result of taking any action with personnel which was initiated by the students, he feels. .-
Even an investigation has been ruled out so far and Hagey has refused to have a lawyer look at the notarized letters received by the Chevron. He will see to it, he says, that the Chevron is not sued. In court, witnesses could be called. It ‘9sdoubtful the staff would really be demoralized by some j _+ action in this area anyway. Probably the opposite would result. One can only respect those who will do their own housecleaning instead of vainly denying the existence of any dirt. A man who has earned respect doesn’t have to worry about openly dealing with problems. It may be possible that the best. thing would be to transfer Mrs. Beausoleil to another department away from direct contact with students if the admini& tration is really convinced of her worth. But with her views it is intolerable that she continue in her present position. The students of this university . should let the administration know that putting a solution off for six months or a year will be not be acceptable. In the end it will only prove that the administration really does care more about images than about students.

Well the beer may be flowing again, but will we remember it as the strike of ‘68 or the lockout? Workers walked out of one of Molson’s breweries. and the men at the top shut the whole industry down. They then set about to convince the public that the whole thing was a strike, and sure enough we all called it that. Shows who controls the prapoganda media doesn’t it?
