Petition asks .council to resign by Ted Lonsdale Chevron staff

A petition of 690 names presented to student council Monday night called for the entire council to resign forcing a general election. ?I’he petition was called for during the debate on the CUS referendum by math rep Susan Leiberman and was introduced to the council by federation president Brian Iler. The petition was started by

non-confidence in the council that they both should be held at the same time. The time factor was emphasized by Peter Huck, engineering rep and Dave Young, external-relations chairman. Tom Patterson, federation vicepresident, questioned whether on the basis of this petition, an election was wanted by all faculties. Homecoming chairman Larry of - Burko said the representatives the faculties signing the petition were obligated to resign. This brought heated argument from the petition’s author, Belfry, who stated the petition was representative of the entire student body and there wasn’t sufficient time to circulate the document in all the faculties. Young said that in his view, the the university and denocratization council had three alternatives: to of our society for only by the elimresign, to call a referendum conination of authoritarian institucerning confidence in the council, tions in our society can we solve or to call a general meeting. the serious problems which beset Bob Beggs, math 3 commented it and make the world a more huthat only 100 people decided to man one” Iler said. take control of the campus center, yet council refused to take action Iler pointed out that all major on a petition of 690 names.

Immediate reaction from arts rep Cyril Levitt concerned the technical aspects of the elections in view of the referendums and by-elections to be held. He pointed out an election called now would not be concluded until close to the mid-term exams. He felt the CUS referendum was ” so closely related to the issue of

Student council lost a motion of confidence at a general meeting yesterday and a general election will be called. About 1000 students attended the meeting in the campus center great hall yesterday afternoon to decide if council still had the confidence of the student body. The tneeting was called after a petition was presented to council Monday asking it to resign. The vote went 550 to 450 in , favor of council resigning. Federation president Brian Iler said earlier a negative vote would mean a general election. .‘We’ll move to an election.” he said. “It’ the students decide they don’t have confidence in us, we have no choice but to resign.” A general election will be held in about three weeks. The date will be set by council at its next rneclt ing

A petition calling for a referenon Waterloo’s membership in the Canadian IJnion of Students ( CIJS ) was presented to the executive of the Federation of Students Monday night. The petition. signed by approximately 600 students demanded a referendum on CUS membership before November 11.

An election based on this question would also be swayed. Huck then introduced a motion for a referendum. Belfry, wanting to introduce a motion to resign, tried to table the referendum motion but his motion was defeated by a tie vote. Patterson suggested an amendment to the non-confidence referendum motion calling for a gener-

He then calculated that if an election were called on November 8, the results of the election could not be known until the first week , of December. Council decided a general meeting should be the primary course of action, due to time factors. The referendum motion was amended to call the general meeting yesterday in the campus center. The motion carried unanimously with one abstention.

reps resign '

Two more student council reps have resigned saying council is unrepresentative. Suzi Lieberman, and Jim Belfry, both math reps, have tendered their resignations to federation president Brian Iler . The main reason for the dual resignation is the issue of representation. “I feel I can no longer remain as a member, when council to me is not representative of the attitude of the majority of the student body,” explained Belfry. He also went on to ask Iler and the council as a whole to resign. Belfry feels that since Iler has changed his attitude and policies from when he was elected he should seek a new mandate. “If

Iler doesn’t receive this mandate to proceed, he should be replaced.” Miss Lieberman felt she also was no longer a member of a representative council. The resignation of the two council members follows a similar move by arts rep, Kathy Dilts several weeks ago. When Miss Dilts resigned Iler stated “I wouldn’t be surprised to see more council members resigning on the representation issue. However the reps can still act in the best interests of the students.” The representivity*question was a major issue at yesterday’s general meeting.

,Jim Pike-, Eng Sot president, said that he respected Iler’s integrety but felt that council must resign and call an election to let the students express their views.

bind council to change the date of the referendum. Iler explained his reasons for wanting the referendum “In January. “There is no reason to have a referendum until the end of the year. A referendum held then will be much more representative since the students will be more aware of the issues and will be better equipped to make an intelligent decision. ‘* CUS membership renewal time is not until March of next year.

VICTORIA ( CUP )-The University of Victoria has added itself to the growing list of schools across the country clammering to get out of the Canadian Union of Students. During a marathon 14 hour budget session Sunday October 27 UVic’s student council spent four hours debating a motion to delete a $5.000 CUS allotment from its annual budget. then voted overwhelmingly in favor of the motion. The UVIC council signed the CUS commitment form at the National Union’s September Congress

saying they would pay their fees and remain in CUS for this year. CUSS national council, which met last weekend in Toronto, passed a resolution saying “firm” action would be taken if councils did not make good their commitmerit. CUS vicepresident Wynton Semple said it was made clear at the congress what signing the commitment form entitled. The intent of the national council resolution he said, was that, if necessary, court action would be taken against universities that refused to pay their fees.

The UVic move follows circulation last week of a petition by members of the council urging a “de facto” withdrawal from CUS. Their reasons are primarily financial. The members argued that UVIC should not pay CUS $5000 when that amount could be used to pa) off a $4000 operating deficit left by the previous council. Student president Frank Frek tich strongly opposed the motiox and said he was obligated to stick to the commitment signed in September.

’ “The teach-in is an appropriate forum in which to consider a major problem of international dimensions, one which many people believe to be the greatest facing mankind.” With this statement Dr. Bruce Falls, chairman of the International teach-in committee opened the fouth International ‘teachin last Friday in Varsity arena, Toronto. The committee had hoped this year’s topic, Exploding Humanity: the Crisis of Numbers,would not be “simply a means of continuing the teach-ins in 1968.” However, almost the whole three days of lectures was simply a group of very distinguished persons agreeing with each other that there is a very grave population problem and that someone shobld do something about it immediately.

In his opening speech Falls expressed his belief that the teach-in would express p?otest against. an attitude that puts the quantity of life ahead of quality and measures success in terms of growth regardless of cost of individuals and environment. ” Few of the speakers expressed such protest. Falls believed there would be confrontation beta “significant ween ourselves and the issues.”

flops Dr. Carstairs himself admitted, “it is, of course, a far cry from the behaviour of rats and cats to that of humans. ” Between the lectures and question period about half of the audience left the arena. Those who stayed had might as well left, since the questions were insipid, and the answers, uninspired. This, unfortunately, was typical of what was to follow on Saturday and Sunday. At each session there was one slightly interesting speaker, but the format and the remaining guests mad& the three-hour sessions tedious. The most disappointing speaker was Colin Clark, economist _ at Oxford University. He began by arguing high populat?on growth is economically necessary, and it is not harmful but rather becificial to a country to have a rapidly increasing population. He contended “adequate cultivation of the world’s available land could produce a very gen- . erous diet for at least 40 billion people. ’ ’ The present world population is approximately.. three billion.

extinc-

tion, was indicative of what fpllowed during the weekend. Lamont C. Cole, professor of ecology, Cornell University, was the first speaker and one of the most informative at the teach-in. He considered the population problem not so much as one involving food shortages, but as one involving food shortages, but as one creating disastrous effects on our atmosphere, soil, plant life and water because of unchecked industrial and military-development. An example of military destruction which he cited was the development and manufacture of weed killers by the US military which will prevent plant growth for ten years.

Weed

killer

to Vietnam

The army is presently considering shipping this weed killer to Vietnam to defoliate the rainforest, thus eliminating cover for the Viet Cong. The depletion of oxygen in the atmosphere, the introduction of many pollutants, and the destruction of much of the earth’s plant and animal life is witness that the earth cannot support the present population increases. “In fact I doubt that the earth can support on a sustained basis a population as large as the present one, ” said Dr. Cole. The next speaker, Barbados prime minister, Errol Barrow, soon eliminated any enthusiasm. Speaking of the “Malthusian spectre”, the gap between the developed and the developing nations, and the necessity to curb population growth, Barrow lulled the audience with such enlightened thoughts as: “There is an awareness of the problem and a willingness demonstrated by many enlightened countries, many forward-thinking nations and most international institutions to come to grips with the problem and advise and assist the less fortunate. There perhaps lies salvation. ’ ’ The last speaker of the evening was George M. Carstairs, department of psychiatry, Royal Edinburg Hospital. Carstairs was concerned with over-population as related to mental health. At first it seemed his talk would be both informative and entertaining. However, he soon regressed, as most psychiatrists do into twenty minutes of anecdotes on rat behaviour.

Birth

con trot opposed

From his initial stand, Clark degenerated to presenting opinions without supporting evidence. His summation, including opposition to artificial means of birth control was met - by boo’s and hisses. Clark refused to answer many questions and further demonstrated his interest by reading a book while his colleagues spoke. The three day teach-in was attended by a total of ten thousand people (fifteen thousand were expected to attend each session) with a response somewhat less then enthusiastic. This seems to indicate not only the topic was poor, but the basic stcucture and format . of the teach-in need to be changed. Two or more hours of lectures followed by a short question period is inadequate. More dialog between the audience and the speakers is neeEfed to reduce the danger of the speakers’ becoming esoteric and technical in their analysis of the topic. This type of interaction seems unfeasible with such a large group. As such the teach-in no longer seems to be a valid or functional educational experience.

At St. Paul’s Students

’

discuss hues

In reply, Dr. Dave Roberts, don of St. Paul’s, said that although student control of the campus center was certainly an admirable objective, the means used to obtain this objective could hardly be justified, since the campus center would probably have been turned over to the students at the next meeting of the board of governors. Timmins then remarked the takeover of the campus center was a matter of principle. “It is not the major issue”, he said. He felt the major issue was students having a voice in matters of curriculum and administration. “It is impossible to graduate from a technical course as a wellrounded individual”, Timmins declared. He suggested that if students had a say in curriculum, math, science and engineering students would probably have more choice as to what courses they took and consequently would be better educated. The majority of the students disagreed with this statement. Many said most technical students were not interested in taking a lot of arts options and those that were could db it themselves by reading. One student commented, “We can’t be well-rounded invividuals unless we can conform to rules. If we can’t adjust to the rules of the university community, how are we going to adapt to the more rigid rules of &ddleclass society.” The next matter discussed was the legality of recent general meetings. Most students felt that these meetings were illegal in that they violated the Ontario Corporations Act. Ken Fraser,_ Chevron news editor, pointed out these meetings were extralegal rather than illegal. Fraser said, “The only general meetings that require 3 weeks notice are those that make decisions binding on council, such as amendments to bylaws. There is no reason why council cannot call meetings to obtain information from the students, but the decisions made at these meetings are not binding on council.” _ The meeting also discussed membership in the Canadian Union of Students (CUS). Bill Snodgrass, engineering rep, was asked what CUS did for students. Snodgrass, civil 4A, replied, “CUS is trying to formulate policies which affect students in general. ” When asked what CUS had d&e for students in the past, he said, “CUS has helped humanize the loan scheme. At one tinie B term students could not apply for loaris.

.Friday 9:oo

Nov 1st

A meeting held at St. Paul’s Thursday evening to discuss the policies of the Federation of Students and the Chevron, ended several hours later with no particular actions being recommended. Robin Fennell, who chaired the meeting, made a few introductory remarks to the 80 students present explaining why the meeting had been called. He said: “Many of us don’t know what is being done by the federation and the Chevron and why it is being done. If we all go away with a better idea of what is going, on, this meeting will have been a success.” Joe Sniezek, arts 2, started the discussion : “The campus center is a minor issue; parking is a minor issue. Student government is the issue under discussion. Activism is not bad in itself but some people are making it look. bad. Council is represented by people like Cyril Levitt and Tom Patterson, who are out for their own glory. Some of these radicals are interested in tearing down society. If we tear down society, we’ll have nothing left. We must have responsible activism. ” ‘Another student said: “It’s one thing to say we should try to throw out the student council, but there is no point in throwing out the council if you don’t have anything to replace it.” “Brian Iler has given up a year of his studies to be president of the federation. He is sincere in his views and his views are not activits. We should be trying to impeach radical members like Cyril Levitt rather than attacking the whole council, “added another student. Bruc.e Timmins, sci 2, said in defense of the federation, “Many council members originally ran as conserva tiye candidates but they have. become radical because of what they have run up against on council. They’re trying to get people to realize they must act as they do because of the administration’s attitudes.” He continued, “If you had to go through what they do you would probably {eel the same way”. Many students said in answer the federation should not resort to the tactics they were using when other tactics failed. “Radical tactics only annoy the administration and make them less likely to give in to student demands. The use of these tactics serves no useful purpose,” they said. Timmins pointed out the campus center sleep-in had been effective.

CUS had a great deal to do with the change’s made in this policy. Among other things CUS has helped humanize the loan scheme. At one time B term students could not apply for loans. CUS had a great deal to do with the changes made in this policy. Among other things CUS has a life insurance plan for students.” The meeting also discussed the Chevron. Sniezek said the Chevron blew the Beausoleil issue up to such proportions, the administration could not act. “The Chevron backed the administration into a corner”. he said. Fraser pointed out the administration had backed the Chevron and federation into a corner by not acting two years ago when it was suggested that she be replaced. Fraser, however, admitted the Chevron had made mistakes in dealing with the issue. “Our news coverage was poor. We didn’t really present the facts until two weeks after the first editorial,” he said. Dr. Rdberts then took the discussion back to the campus ten-8 ter issue. He reported that, on Tuesday night federation vicepresident Tom Patterson had said the students on the committee that would govern the campus center would be appointed by the federation. When asked why, Patterson had reportedly said,” to concentrate power”. Patterson later denied this. He said when he was asked why the representatives would be appointed by the federation, a professor had yelled, “to concentrate power”. Patterson had then said, “No, not really, although in a way that is true. The reason is that the federation is the body representing the students and as such it should appoint student representatives to bodies where they are allowed.”

St. Mary’s plans * CUS referendum HALIFAX (CUP&-Students at St. Mary’s will vote on membership in the Canadian Union of Students February 28. The student council voted October 16 to send the question to referendum by a count of 14 ayes and one-abstention. Student president Mike O’Sullivan said he did not feel the move arose from any disaffection with the national union. He said it was simply a question of student body ratification of membership. O’Sullivan is a member of the national council of CUS.

CUS watches reacfiQt7 A national manifestation of student concern over the relationship between education and the economy was called for by the Canadian Union of Students national council at its meeting in Toronto last weekend. The council, composed of the CUS executive and elected representatives from all regions of English-speaking Canada, was meeting for ?he first time since its creation at the CUS congress last August. Members and CUS fieldworkers presented reports on the political situation at each campus in the union. The rash of referendums facing the union was a question of particular concern. Most attributed the referendums to the sensationalist reaction of the daily press to the CUS congress. Most of the weekend was given to a discussion of the union’s strategy for the next few months. Many members were worried the press misrepresentation of stu-

dent demands had served to promote a split between students and the working class. John Gallagher of Regina noted that CUS programs, such as universal accessibility to higher education, are not the demands of a selfish minority. “Rather”, he said, “we are concerned that university education in Canada is almost exclusively the prerogative of these from the upper classes. ” In the next few weeks, CUS fieldworkers and national council members will be checking the reaction of member campuses to the proposed national day of concern. ‘Peter Warrian, CUS president, said, “We must stop being exclusively concerned with the structure of the university. It is time for a new offensive on meth= ods of instruction, and the content of courses as it relates to the economy. ”

. Yrnbolism on w 1 l

If the seeds of antithesis in modern society are hard to find. the symbol of its faults and of its apparent future is not. That symbol is the automobile. . It seems quite likely that future historians will probably write whole volumns on the meaning of the car to our age and, if man by chance saves himself. they may point in wonder to . the fact that all America drove cars at one time without realizing that indoing so theg had at their fingertips the. key to the troubles of their times.

Success. factor To many in North America. in fact to most. the car is a symbol of status and success. While the Rolls Royce remains aristocratic. -. and Italian cars are left to the sons of the very rich, owning a Cadillac has become a symbol that one has arrived. Lincolns and Imperials are provided for variation only. The hollowness of this symbol is. however. starting to become apparent even to the rich especially since even the working man can buy one on the instalment plan. Seeing a person driving General Motors finest product today really -means almost nothing. He may be parking it in front of a tenement house. Somewhat unconsciously. the rich consider this unfair. their symbol is being destroyed. The search for material objects with which they may announce their success is being frustrated. The process exposes the real reasons people buy such a product as a Cadillac. Not because it is better but because it is more expcnsivc. In many ways it is inferior to the little Volkswagen whose retail value it will share -_ within ten years. But. no matter. it is not real value that counts. it is surface-deep images we chase.

Disintegration

The-Cadillac owner does share one common problem with the poor unfortunates who buy Chevrolet Biscayncs. Both cars have a habit 01’coming apart at the seams. Automobile magazine tests show that it is virtually impossible to buv a car today without finding at least twenty errors in its workmanship. Every car buyer lives in fear of t 11~lemon. It is tiot’unusual to read in those same magazines fond words for the days of yesteryear when C;M pwduc~~i by a much inferior technology at least secnncd to have less faults upon delivery. It’ the machines have bccomc better. it must be the nwn opcrat ing them who are making ~iioi~t’ mistakes. This conclusion holds true in practice and in theory and the reason for it is summed up in one word-alienat ion. The product ion 01’ c;us today iy really the result of a long stream 01’ men screwing nuts on bolts or similarly un,it’orm and minor tasks. If’ you ask one 01’ those production line men . about the pride he t’ccls when he sees a car made by the company he works for. he will laugh at yoi1. In fact ’ you would laugh at yourself if you thought of asking the question. Anyone sitting screwing nuts on bolts all day really doesn’t give a damn a bout the final product that rolls off the production line. He probably doesn’t even see what he has to do with it. If he didn’t screw the nut someone else would. So our case study goes to’his toil every da! to make his $2.90 an hour by doing as little las possible. e can get away with turning the nut les instead of seven and thereby lighten work load, he probably will. He will do is because he is so divorced from his toil

that he doesn’t care about the quality of the final product and he doesn’t care about who buys it. Why should he. thev don’t care about him. So in the end we all getcars that have poorly screwed-on nuts.

Wait two

years

By the time we finally get the necessary nuts rescrewed. we will be face to face with the secondchallenge to our car’s meagre existence-planned obsolescence. Any thinking engineer can tell you that for the resources we allocate to the production of automobiles (expressed in terms of the final number of dollars we have to pav for them 1. we should get a very superior product in return. We don’t. and every child knows the reason whv-the automobile manufacturers want to make sure you buy a new car within four vears. Now engineers aren’t told to design cars that will fall apart. There is no need-to be so . obvious. All the manufacturer has to do is offer thousands of economic reasons why one screw should be used instead of two. why research on new methods and materials should proceed “slowly and surely” and generally how change must come about gradually. He believes-all that himself. Presto-an inferior product that is no one’s fault but sure makes the shareholders a lot of money.

Good friends Now Adam’ Smith,- great free-market economist, would have argued that progress can’t be held back because one of the companies will always be tying to get the jump on the others. Adam Smith never met Henry Ford II. Today the car industry has illustrated that man need not \alwavs be at war. Instead of fighting with one another, thev have banded together in one big happy family A family big enough to suggest to other families that they change businesses or quit. Not all members of the family are brother and sister like Cadillac and Chevrolet-some ‘are cousin like Pontiac and Ford-but they all help each other out. That is whv General Motors loaned American Motors millions of dollars during the ‘last few years., If anv more cousins disappear from the market, American federal authori, ties are probably going to investigate. I Anyone who has anv doubts that the big three and \A.M. are in cahoots should watch the rise in car prices over a -period of several vears. They all go up together.

Air Pollution All the problems don’t meet around board room tables either. Some of them come out of the cars’ exhaust pipes. The U.S. government has finally forced companies to do a little about car exhaust air pollution. Regulations applying to buses and trucks are on their way. But the moves may be too little and too late. Our major cities are already being buried unr der a blanket of blackening smog. The industry could, of course. clear up the situation if they wanted to. but since exhaust cleaning devices cost money they’ve chosen not to. Their problem is that if they add a $50 cleaner to every car and truck thev have to up the final price $100 to cover everyone’s profit. They would rather not do this as thevfeel the resulting decreased number of sales would hurt their overall profit situation. It would .hurt because they are already charging

Highway cities

’.

Speaking about smog-filled cities. it’s inter:sting to.note how theyare being planned nowidays. The kev is not the needs of the people. but the reeds of the car. Roads-not walkways-are :en tral .’ Part of this problem is the huge amount of jublic money spent on subsidizing highways ind roadwavs while public transportation is expected to break even. Gasoline taxes and. :ar taxes do not pay for the roads but bus ickets are expected to pav for the buses We see symbolized here not only a society. n which technology reigns rather than people. jut as well, a society in wh-ich the best treatnent is reserved for the better-off. The rich have their transportation system ubsidized; the poor must pay their own way. The rich may live on the outskirts of dirty cities but the poor are stuck within.

‘ay later

The future Interestingly the automobile may also-be a major svmbol of a future. we seem to be completely unaware of. A future of cybernetics. Cybernetics is the term applied ..to the cxtremely complicated theory of computer control of computers. I Applied to the automobile industry what this will basically mean is that man ‘will be taken off the production line and replaced / bb computer-controlled computers. In one sense this will free man. Not only will he have increased leisure t-ime but he will also have an increased -number of alternatives opened to him. During the first years of automobile construction one could order a made-to-order car. The mass production line has-provided more people with cars but has eliminated this abil-

But good old General Motors has at least nade plans to ensure that the vast majority. ‘an buv one of their cars somehow. -The kev for those whose savings aren’t great lnough are finance plans like G.M.A.C.. ieneral Motors Ac’ceptance Corporation. For those people who can’t get bank loansr don’t realize they should trv there firsthese plans offer instant credit for car buging t such reasonable interest rates as 30’; . Rumour has it that if you look hard you can #orrow money for as little as 16”; a vear. But ou have to look pretty hard and you have o be able to offer security Oh well, the Joneses bought’ a ne.w car so he Smiths will too. .If nothing else, we live in n age marked by the super credit plan; t)e;y:re almost as, good.,a svmbol as automo. iles. These plans, by-the-wav. are by no kneans ub-conscious plots. The men who run the inance corporations are verv well aware of rhat they are doing.

It’.

Cvbenetics will return one’s ability- to request tailor-made products while preserving the capacity to do it in qua.ntitv. Few examples exist today but the best one is an American trucking firm which has installed a fully-computerized system -on its production line. As a result. purchasers now have a maximum of over 240 thousand options open to them in ordering a production line truck. But in this freedom. man may find chaos and slavery. Another way of saying that man will have more leisure is to say he is going to be out of work. There simply won’t be enough jobs to go around. Yet he will be turning out enough products to go .around. The problem will be finding a method of distribution. -One answer being debated, in the United /Madison Avenue ’ States today is the creation of a minimum an- .. nual wage. , Eventuallv it would seem that nature would Yet even if he can‘buv the produce goods. ntervene and attempt to destroy the bastards the man of today would be lost without work to It the automobile industries and maybe evendo.

us to face

issues

I would like to make one or two brief comments on Prof. Lefcourt’s letter (Feedback. Oct. 25). It seems his message is essentially that the radicals are ( 1) disenchanted (2 1 petulant

with man

and peevish

(3) incompetent or unwilling rnanage student interest areas (4) unwilling groups

to join other

protest

(5) reluctant to recognize vidual achievement.

indi-

None of these claims is correct in my own view. I would agree with Prof. Lefcourt that their methods are not always acceptable to many, but the radicals can still raise a very defensible argument regarding their strategies and tactics. The more important point i-n the current situation on all campuses is the reaction which has set in and which in effect sums them up as trouble-makers, non-representative of majority student views, leftists, Marxists, autocrats, dictators and so on. This is the most

lamentable result of all and one which Keniston, Sanford and others have cautioned us against. The radicals do see problems in the university and in the larger system. They do want to raise these issues as issues and see them faced by all members of the system. If we spend most of our time arguing about the means they employ we will never come to grips with the issues themselves. The radicals are making waves certainly-they are rocking the boat. But we should be thankful every day that we have them among us because they are forcing us to review and reconsider the whole direction of our universities and our society.

high

But the left is in factin a minority and, unless it plans to accomplish a dictatorial takeover, it will have to work with the people whom it detests so perfectly. They will not listen to its present manner of speaking. There are examples of revolutionaries who called for basic structural changes as over against adjustment and modification who did not resort to vilification and --namecalling because they were above using the repressive methods of those they opposed.

WILLIAM G. SCOTT associate professor-sociology provost, student-affairs

New left’s are betrayed

At the risk of being called a Brutus I agree with him that the behaviour of some members of the student. left is contrary to its own announced interests and goals. It hopes to win; it, hopes to accomplish a more or less complete change in the present structures of the university and of society. I will be charged with tokenism when 1 say I also believe many and basic changes are called for.

‘ideals by epithets

Professor Lefcourt’s main point in his letter ( Feedback Oct. 25) was not really replied to in the editorial, which responded mainly to peripheral issues.

I think of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, and one could add to those two many other names. Those men were no weaklings.

of flint” and They had “faces certainly they told their contemporaries the truth. And certainly they gained a great deal by their methods.

People need to be told the truth and that goes for university administrations as well as for any other institution. But there are. at least in our situation. ways of doing this that would leave open the doors to possible understanding The center spread of last week’s CHEVRON (Oct. 25 1 accomplishes nothing but revulsion in most. people.

(I am aware of course of the possible response that all M.L. King accomplished was tokenism and that M.K. Gandhi had a very benevolent foe to deal with. But let history decide that). I confess I was utterly out of sympathy with President Hagey’s statements charging student leaders with using communist tactics since he knows only too well the emotive power of that word. He is of course not doing anything the left has not done or is doing, for while for him the worst epithet may be communist, for the left the worst epithet appears to be something like imperialist or capitalist. I can have no part in either practice, for I do not believe his epithet is any worse than the left?. The only difference is his word is backed with power and the left’s only with an impotence which easily yields to the temptation to employ the same kind of blow below the belt.

I am afraid a movement with high ideals as expressed by Tom Hayden, Peter Warrian and Brian Iler, ideals which are unexceptionable, will be destroyed by the same virus that affects the structures it wants to replace-hate, violence and contempt for other points of view. The attempt to accomplish the student left’s goals overnight by vilification, violence and disregard for others is an exact copy of what our whole society is in fact like. I am dismayed that the new left is following the footsteps of decadent western culture with such concentration and determination. I had hoped it might show us all a way out.

In a season not particularly-noted as a great one for football at IJniWat, there is -_ , at least one bright spot at the stadium: the fans. ’ Afte,r’sittihg passively in the stands for years, with the exception of a few drunken outbursts, Warrior fans have suddenly shaken their inhibitions, making this year’s football crowds the most colorful ever.

)

It doesn’t matter how much the Warriors are losing by, the fans are always there, cheering,them on to defeat, with their rallying cry,. “We’re number six! ” ’ The Warriors Band must take some of the credit for this sudden upsurge of school spirit. With a vastlylenlarged repertoire and more guts than in past years, the Warriors band ‘has succeeded in upstaging every other school band in the OQAA.

Recently the EngSoc curriculum committee made available the results of a pilot course critiques study. I would like to express my admiration and congratulations to the members of the curriculum committee for their time-consuming efforts in preparing a work of this calibre. It is clear, precise and of cognitive value. Bob King deserves recognition not only for managing the creation of the critique but also for the thinking contained in the epilog. I may not agree with everything said but I do admire conscientious effort. May future reports measure up to the standard set by this first. DAVID P. BEAN electrical eng 2A Don’t cr iticize

~~communism”, the

critiques

I’ve ,been watching the great debate which is spreading across our campus: to activate or not to activate, that is the question. But o’;le thing the two sides of Hamlet were doing, if I remember correctly, was examining all sides of the question. That’s not happening here and it’s really too bad, because what is at the bottom of all the protests and anti-protests is the question of the nature of man-and that has never been discussed enough. People are not being fair. For instance, there are many excellent critiques a_nd ideas about alternative ways we can educate and live in this world. Why does nobody read and then attack those articles by A.S. Neil1 on his Summerhill, the “Why?” articles, Noel McInnis, or lots of &hers? When I find people hotly arguing that activists or whatever you call them are destructive, and negative and don’t offer any suggestions I want to scream. Granted they don’t have all the answeres-no one does. But there are many things being said today (not all of them) which have a great deal of merit and people aren’t being fair if they don’t answer them. That goes for everybody from the habitues of the engineering common room to the president of this university. Or is it so much easier to dismiss any argument for change by the emotive word “communism’ ’ ? A.S. BARKER philosophy 2 Chevron -more

Ukfanian

students

complain

While we respect David Youngs’ opinion on the ‘Ukranian concert (Oct. 25) and his ability as a music critic, we are surprised and disappointed at his lack of factual information and careless treatment of the subject. The question is why Youngs has erroneously equated the Ukrainian cultural tradition with the Russian. Since both peoples belong to the Slavic group it is obvious they, as well as all the others, may have some similar cultural traits, as do peoples of Germanic or Latin stocks, for instance. But it is a gross misconception to confuse a distinct national heritage of one people with that of another, as Youngs did: “Possibly it’s typical of the Russian to be very serious even in folk music”. This way the review does not even follow any logical pattern. We realize very well that for anyone whose contact with Slavic ethnic cultures may not have been very extensive, it may be hard to notice the difference-especially when folk creativity is at stake. But we do not think misinterpretation or lack of factual knowledge should justify an incorrect approach to such matters. A write-up on any event of this nature should call for some preparatory research whenever necessary. The Ukrainian Students Club would be happy to provide all the necessary information. It is neither proper nor professional to judge a musical show only by the speed of its songs or melodies : “Their fastest number.. . ” “The ‘Dibrova’ girls choir... sang faster than the men, but still not very fast.” The male choir opened not with “God save the king” (?), but with “0, Canada” sung in Ukrainian. We feel it is also poor journalism to use rather mocking descriptions. Those “Ukrainian baggyblue pants” are called “sharavary”, and it was not “priadjatkas” the dancers were doing but “prysidy”. It was pointed out at the concert “that only through appreciation and respect for the cultures of the various segments of the Canadian society we will be able to communicate more readily and

constructively. ” About 60 percent of the performers, almost all members of the Ukrainian Students Club and a many of the Ukrainians in the audience are Canadian-born and the remaining 40% are surely Canadian citizens. As such, they are simply putting into effect their guaranteed rights to preserve for Canada their cultural heritage, without being subjected to undue identifications with another nationality. Therefore, in the name of mutual understanding, cooperation, respect and self-esteem, let us be at least objective and fair to everybody. ANNA ROMANYSHYN president ROSS SENKIW vicepresident ANNE HOLOWKA secretary Ukranian Students Club Petitioners treat as ioke the overthrow of only voice Certain unthinking people in this so-called community of scholars have been passing around a petition claiming the Federation of Students is unrepresentative and the student council should be forced to resign. I sat in my calculus lecture and for the lack of ,something better to do, watched the petition being passed from hand to hand. I saw a lot of idiots signing it as if it was an attendance sheet. Some were even laughing as they signed it as if it was a big joke to destroy the only voice of the students and get rid of all those “dirty commie-perverts.” I claim their petition has been invalidated by these people and by the fools who started it. There are very few people in this university who realize just how representative the federation really is. Most people, especially those in engineering and math are too damned apathetic tp care. As for the idiots who started the petition, they should know it is still to early in the year for most first year students to know anything about the federation. They just wanted names o.n their petition so they could gain their own ends. It is these people who do not represent the main body of the students. JIM RIMES engineering 1 Why

Indeed.

I should like to complain bitterly to you, your staff and to the public at large or at small dependent upon your political persuasion or iriewpoint-although in the case of the Chevron one could possibly state perversion or perversion state,-about the heretofore unexposed film of political slant angled towards the long line of theories devoted to the cum circulinium point (as opposed to the cum circucirulum point with deviations in E minor by Sibelius) which has been hopping up in that beerparlour column designated, if you’ll pardon the plebian term, “Feedback” . . .which has plagued the sicken masses of students other than pre-med-of which there are none at this institutionwho attempt each week to read and understand such trivia as expressed by such minority groups as the engineers, who consider themselves far from a minority and have set up a majority report entitled Enginews or how to succeed at trying without really, and continues to upset the more rational and thinking organizations on the campus with plots and counterplots which obviously lead to an early grave and can only be considered most harmful to those groups above mentioned including the now-defunct (and sadly missed) Aryan Affairs Commission whose main and noble aim it seemed was to add insult to apathy.

If we hope to get anything at all out of the program we must realize that no matter what the job, it has something to offer us in the way of experience and knowledge. I agree whole-heartedly with the author’s views. If we take advantage of the opportunity afforded us by the co-op system, we should be able to emerge among the best engineers in .the country.

The name of the proffessor is Strax. He said NO STRAX-remember that name-is a man. to the administration. Does that make him an ignorant mis-informed shit-disturbed? According to his fellow professors and his students, the answer is a definite “no”. “...His subjects and topics are varied and should be of to many...he attracts a good cross-section of interest the campus... ---“What other faculty member devotes so much of his free time to sharing his interests or hobbies with his students’... his 5th year students would welcome him ‘back as their lecturer.” Other students who feel differently tried to force themselves through the students holding Strax’s office, Liberation 130. The dean of men Brent McKeown and history professors Stephen Patterson held back the angry students. They urged the students not to take the law into their own hands. The mob, ready to forcibly remove the occuwere finally dissuaded by the pants of the small room, professors. What did Strax do that caused this great uproar? it was a simple matter of not showing In the beginning, his ID card at the University of New Brunswick library. When the guard asked for the card; Strax refused and the guard would riot let him leave. Strax t’eturned to the book stacks to get more volumes; Strax went for more books-this the guard refused again. time the students joined in. It was not long before the greatest part of the library catalog was at the guard’s feet. As a result of his protest the library was closed and Strax was sent a letter of by the administration which he refused besuspension cause it failed to point out why he was being put out of a job. Then Liberation 130 was‘ established and Strax’s office occupied by sympathetic students. Strax was then summonsed to appear in court for trespassing on UNB property. Where do most of the students stand on the issue? “Strax has some good ideas but Here is one comment: I can’t support him because he is going about it in the wrong way. “Oh yes, I’m aware of the flaws of the university but and I suppose they’ll be changed they’re relatively minor _ eventually; besides I’m just here to get a degree, not to change the whole goddam world.” That has a familiar ringing to it.

Murphy

People mumbling, turning, talking, walking, sleeping, eating. Liberation 730. The smoke chokes the tiny room. People are stepping over other people. lt is uncomfortable, sweaty and hellish. Liberation 130. Home of the free. Four concrete walls, a tile floor and a sound-proof ceiling constantly closing in on you. As the numbers get larger, the space gets smaller. It hurts to be in there. No cure foi the common cold. And many colds and sores are there. The bed is the floor, or perhaps a mattress on the floor. No great amount of sleep. Lights out at three or four or five in the morning, whenever the discussion is completed. Discussion on plans and tactics and methods and ideologies, et cetera. Peanut butter sandwiches spiced by apples, oranges and sardines. The exotic treat is the occasional hamburger or hot-dog. Special delivery through the second-story window via rope elevator. Red flag on one side; black flag on the other Food is easier to elevate on the rope than people. People are heavy, and they smash their hands on the ledge. Blood and band-aids. The mimeograph machine churning out reams of paper spattered with black type. Messages. Information. Data, Trying to convince students and faculty that they are right for standing up for what they believe. Trying to convince everyone that a professor’s rights have been abused. Trying and slowly winning. The truth machine churning away. Guitars strumming, people singing, voices attuned and in tune (sometimes). A oneness in harmony. A song o/ peace and joy and love. All part of it, all members sharing this thing, this essence, this commitment to justice. Liberation 130. How is it possible, one might ask, to undergo the obvi’ous discomfort of being a member of Lib&ration 130? How is it possible that the occupants of the room feel in any ~way liberated when they are so contained, when access to the area is so limited? How is it possible that day can blend into day after day till ten and eleven and twelve days roll by? Certainly it is not sheer blindness or refusal to leave. They want to stay. They feel they Have to stay And they will stay. Until justice is done or somebody moves them. They are there because they feel they are human enough to act humane. Once upon a time . there was a little boy who asked his mummy if he could go outside and play. His mummy said no, that would not be a good idea. The little boy objected and immediately went into a tantrum. He broke things and cried and spilled his milk and said awful bad things like ‘goddam jeezuzzchris t” His mother took her billy-club (she used to carry it with her, all the time to protect herself) and smashed the kid’s head to a pulp (cliche). She said “I am inhuman enough to act inhumane.” And everyone died happily ever after. The End.

396 The CHEVRON

Any expression of lack of confidence in the‘ decision-makers dn campus should be directed not against student council but against the students. For all major political decisions . made since September have been made in well-advertised general meetings. L And those who don’t attend genera1 meetihgs have no, legitimate complaint about decisions made in them. Such meetings are’ the bes,t possible way to take decision-making to the students. Be it general meetings or council meetings participation is the key to representation. Those who don’t participate can’t expect to be represented. And they have no right to demand it after t’he fact. . Yet in student council that’; just what math reps Susan Lieberman and Jim Belfry are -doing. At last Monday’s council meeting they called on council to resign because (it was unrepresentative. One reason may be that those reps haven’t beei -showing up to present their constituents views. Belfry and Lieberman have two of the worst attendance records on cQunci1. And when they have shown _ up, they certainly ha’ven’t presented any opposition. But now that a. group of students is unhappy, they find they c3an’t explain why council has made the

decisions it has. So they decide council must be unrepresentative. It’s much easier to,Jell your constituents that tlian admit you haven’t been representing-them. Council .decEsions are not made bv conser&s-the agreement of ail-rather they are made by majority consent. M&mbers who do not like-prop&als are expecked to oppose them. Each is charged with the responsibility of representing his constituents’ interests. It is, therefore, folly foq some representatives to call council unrepresentative because they don’t agree. In democratic government the existence of opposition is taken for granted. The general meetings provide an excellent, guarantee that council doesn’t bedome divorced from the students: Yet one council member had the gall to kuggest action shouldn’t have .followed. -the >last ‘general meeting because attendance was too low. Well on what initiative should action follow, dr is a state of mindless inaction being called for? Those general meetings were advertised to the best of people’s ability. The best of the participating people’s ability, that is. The dissenters weren’t out putting up posters or spreading flyers around. .
