aid
Up to 40 percent of Waterloo students may be short an average of $541 for the current school year. And more will be significantly short of funds. In a random sample taken on Friday, 19 out of 47 students said they had applied for student aid under the provincial program (OSAP) and were either denied any assistance or fell significantly short of their needs, by an average of $54&. Two students, who did not apply because their particular circum-
stances made them ineligible, said they too ‘would fail sh&t by $300-$400. One of the students surveyed said she already had to take out a private loan for $450. Four students are still waiting for their assessment, and only one expected to get enough aid to make it through the year. Nine of the students surveyed said they had applied for OSAP and received enough to make it through the year. Thirteen of the 47 did not apply for aid under OSAP, expecting to have enough money from scholarships, parental support and summer earnings.
The students surveyed had been asked how much they were short of the minimum necessary for an eight-month term-about $18002000. Using arts-science tuition ($580.50), Village single-room fee ($960)) books and supplies minimum ($75) and living allowance ($15 a week for 32 weeks)-the province’s allowance, the total comes to $2095.50 so the amount many students will be short could be worse than the survey indicated. The Federation of Students is currently completing a detailed study of financial means. Replies to a mailed questionnaire are being compiled.
Math

Math dean David Sprott and associate dean Ken Fryer gave their welcoming talks to the freshmen amid heckling by activists in thecrowd. About 500 math frosh filled the arts theater to hear presentations from the math faculty, the Math Society, the dean -of women and the coordination / department. Also some 15 upper-year activists were scattered throughout the crowd. . Sprott discussed the relevence of freedom to education. He. said there is a great deal of freedom in the math faculty. There are only three compulsory courses in first year, no specialization until third year and much flexibility in electives. Students are free to skip classes and, he noted, they are free to fail. “It’s up to you to accomplish as much or as little as you please,” said Sprott. “Unfortunately, I don’t see how there can be complete freedom in. the selections of courses.” Sprott went on to discuss student participation in his education. “In a lecture on math there is no point in discussing social change; there is no point in engaging in a dialog with the instructor and
we/come
there is no point in having a discussion with people at the back of the room.” Sprott said a math student must first master a body of facts and learn how to solve problems. Courses must have a certain mathematical content and the student is in no position to judge what this content should be. But Sprott ,conceded students should have a say in the method of presentation used in lectures. Extracurricular activities were also part of education, said Sprott, but he cautioned against overparticipation. “If you don’t fulfil1 the degree of professionalism required by your program, you will not be able to stay in your extracurricular activities because you won’t be able to stay at university.” Sprott concluded by telling the freshmen to persevere in the problems they will face and wishing them success. Fryer followed with a speech denouncing the Chevron and warning the freshmen about the adtivists on campus. “Qne wonders, in reading the newspaper accounts, which according to the Chevron are inaccurate, which-no, I won’t say it,

Housing While the housing shortage has not reached crisis proportions, many students arriving on campus late will have extreme difficulty finding housing. All residence accommodation on campus has been allotted for months and virtually no apartments are available in KitchenerWaterloo for students. A housing list from the university housing office showed 399 places offering rooms or room and board for students in Waterloo, Kitchener, Bridgeport , Elmira, St. Jacobs, New Hamburg, St. Agatha, Breslau, Baden and the surrounding rural area. However, on Friday, a telephone survey of the housing on the list showed 105 of the places gone and 97 places still available. The others were not home. Extrapolated to the full number,fthere remains at the most 196 beds for students somewhere within 12 miles of the university.
“The time has come for greater involvement of the general student body in the search for solution to our mutual problems, ” said Brian Iler . Iler was announcing the. calling of a special general meeting of the Federation of Students. Every student on campus is a member of the federation The meeting will be held today in the arts quadrangle at 3:30. If it rains the meeting will be moved to the campus center. “The issues that forced the meeting are student aid and housing though we may make use of the opportunity to discuss other

Almost all available housing is beyond walking distance, with just 20 beds remaining in the City of Waterloo. Little, if any, of the housing in Kitchener has direct access to King Street-the only good public transit line in the twin cities. The housing list is updated daily or oftener as householders notify the office. The list that was surveyed was picked up at 1 pm Friday and the survey completed by 4 pm. One student said on Sunday he was unable to find anything from the list. He indicated he had pibked up a housing list Monday and had looked all day Monday, returning Sunday to look unsuccessfully all day for a place. A random sample of other students who had used the housing list showed 15 out of 28 found the list to be of little value. However,. only two of this group were still without housing as of Friday. Several cases were found of students doubling up with friends on a temporary basis.

The loan and housing troubles are not really surprises, Patterson said. “We’d been watching the developing problems in these areas all summer, and our student survey was an attempt to measure their magnitude, but admittedly even we were surprised at their size last week,” Patterson continued. “Students in trouble in these areas need immediate help-only large scale demand for action has any chance of finding them that help,” Patterson concluded.

At the end of the meeting, about two dozen freshmen and some faculty stayed to talk to the activists.

KINGSTON (GINS)-A radical highschool student leader was stopped dead in his tracks recently when confronted by even more radical- MPP’s.
next ‘day I’d get thrown out of school. ” He said local principals have denounced HUS’s leaders as communists and red guards. ’
Grade 12 student Logan Murray representing the lOOmember Kingston branch of the Highschool - Union of Students’ told members of the NDP caucus meeting in Kingston that Vhe is prepared to face local school teachers, school boards, and even education minister Bill Davis with, HUS’s demands for more student Freedom. But, he said, if the students got no results from the representations they wouldn’t go out and burn down the schools.
Not all NDP members were as enthusiastic about highschool student power. Elie Martel, a Sudbury teacher-turned-MPP ,a wondered if students have the self-discipline to cope with free- ’ dom.

Brown said students should not delude themselves by thinking they can change the system by reasoning with people who have a vested interest in keeping it as it is. “Change is a question of power,” he said. “I would be happier if I listened to you talking about power.” Murray answered, “If I stood up and talked about power, the

‘ ‘Wherever freedom is allowed, students destroy it by themsel-. ves,” he said. “Wherever you give them freedom they go apey on you.” Murray agreed many students cannot cope with respordibility, but onlyhbecause they have never been given a chance to exercise it. He asked the NDP -to back the union in its local confrontations, but said he was not asking for NDP support to help it influence students. / “If the NDP comes out and says they support us we’ll probably lose 90 percent to the teenyboppers who were cheering for Trudeau. ’ ‘.’ . He said the union itself would look after winning the students, over. He wanted the NDP to help convince the parents.

A dozen U of T students Thursday picketed an apartment building whose landlord they say is forcing families out to bring in student tenants at exhorbitant rates. Last month, landlord Arnold Blundell raised rent in the building to $240 a month per apartment from $140. The move forced out 15 families who could not afford the new rent. Then Ryerson students each paying $65 a month to live four and five in an apartment moved in. The Ryerson students said they would be happy to leave but cannot find other accommodation. The protestors have written mayor William Dennison and attoqney-general Arthur Wishart urging some form of rent control. Spokesman Sherry Brydson said passersby reacted favorably to the protest and several neighborhood children joined the demonstration.

ord strcmig~t (CUP)-National TORONTO student leader Peter Warrian Thursday (Sept. 12) broke up a fees protest within the University of Toronto student body to set the record straig,ht on newspaper accounts which have branded him a violent revolutionary. Warrian, president of the Canadian Union of Students and a Waterloo graduate, plunged briefly into a student councl debate to condemn “the incompetent bourgeois press” and explain what he really said. The oft-misquoted passage, he said, was: “Some people say that this is the year to sock it to the administration and sock it to their buildings, but we -must also take it to the students, knowing that democratization and liberation
are achieved not by manipulations of a few but by the struggle of all.” There is a distinction, Warrian’ said, between “advocating violence and creating a framework in which violence can be discussed. ” The studen fees fight, initiated during registration week by four Trinity College students, urges students to withhold $12 of their fees-the portion turned over to the student council by the university. The four distributed about 10,000 leaflets charging Warrian and the council with “incitements to mob rule and violent insurrection. ” However they have had little response. U of T student Steve Langdon condemned the campaign as
“totally irresponsible and reprehensible. ” “The council has a total commitment to non-violence, a commitment that has always been made,” Langdon told the four protestors. “You are using the bogey man of vioience to chase away the necessity of change. I find it incredibly ironic that a fees protest should be aimed at the studnet council and none at all against the university systdm to which we pay a far greater amount in tuition fees. ” Richard Reach, a third-year English student, defended the protest on grounds that “it was necessary to take an extreme action and strengthen the commitment to non-vilence and clear up a very damaging image. ”

Now that both students and faculty pay identical prices at the university bookstore, it would seem only proper they do likewise at the ticket office. However, the Creative Arts Board, by some apparent oversight, still expects faculty to subsidize concert-hall and playhouse events by an additional dollar a ticket (except for Pinocchio, where there is price parity) and an additional two dollars for the film series. It is still not too late in the year for the federation to rectify wtiat must be an error, and extend to faculty the spirit of Pinocchio in all its Spotlight 1968-69 events. ROBERT R.

They don’t have to pay any attention to you if they don’t want to, and they don’t. Face factsthey make up the rules and if they want to ignore the Beausoleil issue then they will. The student body won’t help you-they’ve got sand in their eyes from their sandbox and can’t see a thing. The profs and staff won’t help you because its their boat they’d be rockinrr 111g.
Worrying about other people today means putting a dime in the Christmas charity collection. Nobody is going to rock his own boat. You’re doomed to fail as long as you keep asking them to. You have one hope. Maybe they will make enough people mad by ignoring so many problems that a large group will take to the streets each to settle his own unresolved problem. Maybe then you can prove that it’s not just a matter of individual problems but the whole damn system that’s at fault. I doubt it. DAVID MICHAEL& arts. 2 .

“All right, all right! I promise you you ‘11have a bigger say in vunm’ng the jlock ”
let’s
talk about bed and bread
Are you walking two miles, or spending an hour and a half on a bus to get to the university? Are you $500 short of paying for room, board and tuition? Maybe you’re not-but many of your fellow students are. And friend, their problems are your problems for two very good reasons. The first is that you might very well find yourself in their predicament next year. Many of the students without money are senior students caught by the new rules brought in by the Ontario government this summer. Many of the students without apartments had very comfortable places last year. They too were caught by changing rules an_d uncaring landlords. The second reason you should care about these problems is much more important. Even if you don’t face these problems during your time at university you will face some major problem either now or after you graduate. The trouble will probably be the result of laws or institutions whose rules lead them to deal with your case automatically.
Sooner or later that won’t be good enough. At that point your only hope will be that others-people with no direct interest-will come to your aid. It is only through protecting the rights and privileges of others that we will ever have our own rights and privileges preserved. * * * The Federation of Students has called a general meeting for 3: 30 this afternoon in the arts quadrangle. Its main purpose is to deal with the problems many are having finding accommodation and finances, but other issues may well be brought up. There is not a great deal that can be done at this meeting. But if a considerable number of students do come out and express their feelings a very positive step will have been taken. At the moment it’s the best we can do to help convince the government it must review its policies on student loans. And hopefully we can remind the administration it must provide more for the university student, than an amphitheatre seat. It must guarantee those it admits a decent, convenient place to live.

Sure, there are lots of things happening. You know, we’ll be one of a small number of universities with more than one issue a week, if we make it. UBC, U of T and McGill have been that way for years, and Western has sometimes tried it.
