UNIIVERSOTY
The administration has announced plans to replace its board of governors and senate with a onetier system of government. Both bodies have given approval in principle. The new body will be the final authority for both financial and academic matters although an exact definition of its responsibilities is still to be worked out. No date for the change has been announced and many major problems are yet to be worked out before approval in principle will mean anything in practise. The administration has said it wishes to have the new system incorporated into the university’s act at the 1969-70 session of the Ontario legislature. In principle, the new governing body is to include representatives of faculty, students and alumni, with about an equal number of non-university people initially chosen from the present board of governors, plus administrators including at least the president, vicepresidents and treasurer. The proposal was accepted in a joint meeting of committees of the board and senate which were studying university government. The board approved it’s committee’s report in secret session January 16. Senate held a special meeting Thursday and approved the same proposal. Senate made one formal change and talked of another. Both were incorporated into the administration’s press release termed “the complete text of the resolution which has been approved by the board of governors and senate.” While there was some opposition expressed in

senate to the proposed single tier, it passed unopposed. In the interim, both the board and senate have agreed to seat representatives of the other body, as well as some students. The details are to be worked out by a joint committee and taken to a joint meeting of board and senate at an unspecified time. Only the final meeting is scheduled to be open. Federation president John Bergsma hailed the announcement as a breakthrough. He felt it “incorporated most of the things in the minority report on university government and the student brief. ” He saw the single-tier government structure as important. “This is what we’ve been fighting for so long,” he said. Some student councillors and the student members of the university government study committee (which reported in October) don’t share Bergsma’s views. Tom Patterson, council member and former vicepresident, said, “As it stands we really know nothing about the new idea except that it will be called single-tier government.” He went on to say that the details so far presented indicate that one-tier government can be used to the detriment of students, faculty and staff. staff. “Corporate interests will still control the new body, and they will also gain control of academic decision-making-something denied to them in the traditional two-tiered government,” said Patterson. Patterson, student reps to the university government committee and some student councillors all felt the form of single-tier approved in principle was far from the model they see for democratic government of the university.
Senate okays c ew structure by Phil Elsworthy Chevron staff
Thursday, the senate approved the report of its committee studying the university government report calling for a onetier system. T.A. Brzustowski, chairman of the special committee, introduced his report to the senate, saying there had been considerable reflection since the debate on university government in october. He said that there are three questions : governing structure, selection of officers and the influence of structure on acade-
mic programs. The university government (unigov report tried to answer only two of these. Bruzustowski feels the time for a change to a one-tier structure has come, and that the matter should be dealt with straight rather than given to away, another time-consuming committee. Chancellor Ira Needles stated the board of governors was in favor of a one-tier structure and there was also strong sentiment in the board for action. Wynn Rees, principal of Reni-
iis intermin Academic vicepresident Howard Petch has been appointed interim administration president of the University of Waterloo. He will hold this post until a new president is appointed, but no longer than 18 months. He will replace president Gerry Hagey who resigned last november. Petch joined the university in

ead
September 1967. He had previously been principal of Hamilton College at McMaster University. Shortly after coming to the university he served as acting president while Hagey underwent therapeutic treatment after following a throat operation. Hagey is the founding president of the university. He resigned in november saying his throat condition did not permit him to use his voice as effectively as he felt necessary. Earlier this month, he asked the board of governors to accept january 31 as the date of his resignation. Board chairman Carl Pollock was given authority to appoint an interim president. Pollock announced Petch’s appointment yesterday. A permanent replacement for Hagey seems a long way off. The board proposed a 14-man search committee with student and faculty representation. However student council has rejected the committee and the Faculty Association has expressed reservations about it.
son college, saw university autonomy from the provincial government as the outstanding issue. He suggested that students, unionists and professions should be part of the board, since these groups have the power to defend autonomy. He also raised the question of the relationship of the colleges to a one-tier government, and asked exactly how the colleges would be represented. The representative of the alumni, J.H. Shaw, pointed out that the alumni had been left out of the report, even though they play a very important part in university-community relations. He then proposed a motion of recognition of the alumni as part of university. Arts dean Jay Minas had some reservations about a one-tier structure of government, thinking it was a good idea in principle, but that the likely influence of financial considerations on academic matters was bad. Academic vicepresident, Howie Petch, defended the single-tier government. He said lay members should but often don’t have an understanding of academic matters, while on one governing body they could still exert their influence publicly as defenders of university autonomy. Petch also suggested the formation of an academic council to deal with such things as the college of environmental studies, for which the senate is inadequate. Observers criticized this suggestion as equivalent to two tiers. Needles felt no threat from the merger of academic and financial spheres. It would do the board members good to be exposed to the academic side of university, he said. Shaw’s amendment and Brzustowski’s motion were brought up and both passed unanimously.

In an address at the campus center friday afternoon, Martin Loney rapped the administration’s proposed one-tier university government plan as being a definite step backwards. He dismissed the student representatives on the board as tokenism. “The proposal doesn’t pinpoint the amount of student representation. It was presented without discussion by student council or in a general meeting. “Based on what it says about the present board of about 40 people letting in six student observers, one can only assume that student representatives on the new board would merely be sops.” He contended the merging of an academic body, the senate, with the board of governors will give control of academic matters to non-academics. “The traditional fight of faculty is for control of academic affairs. This plan will remove such affairs from their control.” “Why should a board dealing with academia have representa-
structure tives from the community?” he asked. Loney also pointed out staff will be involved on the new board, according to the first page of the university press release. “But on the third page, it says that the new governing body will be made up of faculty, students, with no mention and alumni, of staff. ” “In addition it will contain much of the present board of governors. On the first page, it admits such boards are dominated by business and financial leaders. These people are not representative of the community.” Rather than token representation, Loney feels students are capable of handling 50 percent of departmental matters. “Students, for instance, know what kind of residences they like to live in. They are the experts on teaching ability because they have to sleep through lecturers. “If the administration succeeds in putting this so-called reform over on the students, it will represent a triumph of ignorance over apa thy, ” he concluded.
On Wednesday january 22, the first sign of trouble turned up. The Vanilla Fudge had been asked to play the Ed Sullivan Show the sunday after their appearance here. The contract terms stated the group was not to play any dates two days prior to their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. When CBS found out about the Canadian date they flatly said no. In addition, the Fudge were informed that if they didn’t play the
Sullivan show they would never appear on CBS again. This obviously placed the group in a bad position regarding Waterloo concert. A television appearance is a valuable type of promotion for any up and coming group. Lon Harriman, an agent in New York, spent two days fighting the overlords in CBS. Thursday word was received from William Morris Agency in New York that the Four Seasons were reluctant to play the date in Canada unless another date could be found. They are playing two dates in Ohio on Saturday and sunday february 1 and 2 and the date in Canada complicated their travel plans. Thursday afternoon it seemed very unlikely they would appear. Thursday evening Recchia reported this development and suggested switching the Vanilla Fudge to thursday; he reported Tiny Tim was available at an unusually low price for Saturday. Telegrams of confirmation were exchanged friday morning. Legal action can not be taken against the Four Seasons now as it was Waterloo, legally speaking. who cancelled the concert. However their actions will be reported to the National Entertainment Conference, an organization of about 300 American universities which exchange information about the cost, cooperativeness, promptness and quality of various concert acts. The actions will also be reported to booking conference of Canadian and American colleges to be held here in may.
they’re living in. The emphasis should be off education just for a job afterwards; and everyone who wants to should be able to go tcr university, including Indians, women, and t,he working class. “Higher education as an improvement of people is more important than the production of more color TV sets.” He emphasized CUS should be more of a coalition of political thought than is presently the case. Because of the narrow political outlook, CUS is cutting itself off from too many people. A listener commented it was very unusual to find a representative of CUS in the engineering common room. Apparently, most of those present felt the same way, as they played cards, ate
their lunches. and caused a buzz oi conversation that threatened to drown Loney out. However, the response in the cortimon room was nothing compared to that in the arts coffeg shop later on. Loney? address made nary a dent on the 60 or so people there. No one ljstened and there were no questions. Loney sat at a table and talked to anyone who was interested enough to sit down. Commenting on the reaction on campus. he said: “Obviously, it is indicative of the apath! surrounding the referendum. It is interesting that I got more response in engineering than in arts. ” He repeated his contention that CUS should be a movement for social change based on a left-liberal coalition.
Student radicals are getting course credits for *.doing their radical thing” while the profs say it is their business and the administration don’t know and don’t care. A certain few profs are giving leitist and radical courses that are in a few cases difficult to justify with the calendar descriptions. Among those offering radical courses are Jim Anderson (polisci 1. Donald Gordon ’ poli-sci ), Ron Lambert ( sociology) and Leo Johnson ( history). These courses were initiated by radical students getting together with the profs and deciding on some radical topic of study for the course. Johnson’s Canadian History (302) which has one seminar group. quite legit,imately, studying the
History of the Canadian Left. The students in these courses or seminar groups are all or mainly radicals. Some of these radicals were on the verge of dropping out because they felt all courses valueless before t,hey were steered to the radical courses by assistant arts deans Jack Gray and Ken Ledbet,ter. These courses are generally considered the concern of the prof unless his department feels the course is not up to standard. Despite the fact that a couple of these courses are obvious distortions of the content indicated in the calendar. the arts deans are not at, all bothered. The university administration didn’t know about the courses and didn’t care. They view it as none of their concern.
Recchia said. “if we had not pushed the agency they might have sat on the contract until a week before the concert and then cancellt*d leaving us with no concert.”

The complexities of booking entertainment for major concerts has produced a drastic revision in the Groundhog weekend program. Friday it was announced the Four Seasons concert had been cancelled. the Vanilla Fudge would be appearing thusday instead of Saturday and Tiny Tim would appear Saturday instead of the Vanilla Fudge. The events leading up to this announcement began last march when the original committee under Louis Silcox offerred to buy Dionne Warwick. Negotiations were begun by federation entertainment coordinator Joe Recchia and were proceeding well until Miss Warwick became pregnant and stopped all concert appearances. Next artist on the list was Ray Charles. Negotiations were started but event,ually fell through. In September Tom Ashman, next Groundhog chairman decided to book Jose Feliciano. The offer to buy was accepted and the contracts were obtained, signed and returned to the agency in California towards the end of October. However after a month had passed and the contracts had not been returned, Recchia informed Chartwell agencies that if the contracts were not returned by November 30 the concert would be scrapped. Although the contracts had been signed by the federation the cant ract becomes void if not, signed and returned within two weeks.
by Jim ABlen Chevron staff
After Feliciano cancelled negotiations were begun with the Four Seasons and the Vanilla Fudge. Contract terms were settled upon and contracts were received, signed and returned before january. As it was necessary to begin publicity before the contracts were returned and as some that the groups guarantee would appear was necessary, telegrams of confirmation were exchanged with both groups. This in effect is the same t,hing as a contract. Publicity was begun and tickets were placed on sale on campus and downtown. At the same time Recchia was engaged in a verbal battle with both agencies tryirig to get the contracts returned. The agencies assured and reassured him that both groups would be present.

Indifference reigned supreme as Martin Loney, president-elect of t,he Canadian Union of Students. visited Waterloo friday in advance of the CUS referendum tomorrow. Sponsored by the board of external relations. Loney spoke. or rathei tried to speak at various locations on campus. In the engineering common room, Loney began with a standard five-minute address outlining the benefits and priorities of the union. He mentioned fieldworkers, and the gains of the CUS Ottawa lobby: travel and insurance plans, tax exemptjons and student loans. “We hope to initiate cultural exchange programs,” he added. “The first one has been set up-an exchange with Cuba. Twenty student,s will go the first year. with priority given to those who the speak Spanish. ” He stressed role of local student councils in helping to implement CUS programs on individual campuses. “Certainly we have a bad public image. But at least people are now talking about universities and the role of students in the com“In this munity, ’ ’ he continued. respect, CUS has been very beneficial as a forum to open the issue.” He said students must question the type of education they’re getting and the type of society in which they must find jobs. In a question period that followed, Loney conversed with about six people in the common room. “University education is far too narrow, ’ ’ he said. “Eng@eers should be able to take arts subjects. But it should go the other way too. For instance, T’m in arts: 1 don’t know how electricity works and I should be able to find out. ” He felt an ideal university sltuation would help people to learn how to live and understand the society A class

Physical-plant and planning director Bill Lobban has threatened to sue the Chevron over an editorial printed a week ago. Lobban’s lawyers have sent the Chevron a letter listing the offending passages and asking for a retraction and payment of costs. The editorial is reprinted below. Lobban’s letter is reproduced on the right. A retraction 1s printed at the bottom of the page. A spokesman for the Chevron said it would not pay any costs. Lobban’s letter is the first step in a libel suit. A newspaper accused of libel must first be asked for a retraction. If the newspaper does not satisfy the complainant, he can take the case to court.

If you’re going to get mad at somebody because your car was towed away, don’t get mad at the kampus kops-they’re just working men. The person you should really direct your barbs at is physicalplant and planning director Bill Lobban. Lobban has made it a personal cause to ensure that the parking regulations are being carried out to the letter. There are many stories about Lobban arriving on campus an hour early in the morning to check cars himself or spending hours in his offices looking out the windows for violators. Often the kampus kops would like to be more lenient and understanding than they are, but big brother Lobban is always just Reprinted

around the corner. In fact, one of the oldest backroom feuds on campus is between Lobban and security chief Al Romenco. Romenco would like to run things without Lobban’s constant interference. So would the rest of the force: their happiest moment this year was when they were able to ticket Lobban’s car earlier this week while he was out looking for unticketed, improperly-parked cars. The solution to the problem might be exchanging Lobban and Romenco’s posts. Romenco certainly couldn” t do a worse job of laying out the campus and its parking facilities-or seeing that buildings were built with walls that didn’t fall down or roofs that didn’t leak. the

etraction The Chevron has been informed by G.W. Cameron, of the law firm of Clement, Eastman, Dreger, Martin, and Meunier, that Bill Lobban, director of the university administration’s department of physical plant and planning, would consider it disparaging to him in his profession as an architect to be associated with the architecture and design of buildings on this campus, particularly where such architecture and design is collapsing. The Chevron would therefore like to make it clear that at no time did it mean to infer that Bill Lobban was the architect for any of campus buildings and apologizes for any embarrassment or inconvenience that may have been caused him by people drawing such an inference from any matter i.Psathas appeared in the pages of the Chevron,

Diefenbaker’s name was dropped Wednesday as Tom Murphy, associate editor of the Brunswickan at the University of New Brunswick, successfully pressed for a of his contempt postponement of court hearing. Appearing before the supreme court of New Brunswick, Murphy was given the adjournment by chief justice G.F.G. Bridges after he told the court that Diefenbaker had suggested an adjournment, as a procedural step. The court’s appeal division told Murphy to show reason why he should not be cited for contempt of court for his “Spades Down” column in the december 3 Brunswickan. The article included “comments, reflections and innuendoes on this honorable court, arising from the trial by justice J. Paul Barry . . . wherein the University of New Brunswick is plaintiff and Prof. Norman Strax’is defendant.” Murphy said Wednesday he was unable to find counsel experienced in court procedures of this kind and wanted two weeks to find appropriate counsel.

Alas, however. thursday night the form was declared unacceptable by the chief election officer since the president wasn’t registered in a course at the university. The only acceptable course was a post-dot tora te at the university costing $133 which the students just could not raise in one day. (There is a way to get into the university without paying registration fees but that has to go through the president of the university and. since he was the one involved, it wasn’t deemed too wise to carry on with the nomination. ) One thing did come of the farce-five students submitted nomination forms on Friday. so the universit,v gets to have a real vote after all. 700 the Chevron

REGINA (CUP)-A firm that claims to know such things says public confidence in the University of Saskatchewan is weakening. Duff-Abbott Associates, a public-relations firm commissioned by the university’s board of governors. explains that confidence is diminished not so much because of what is being said about the university but because of what the university is not saying about itself. The firm’s report, given to U of S faculty last week as the studentadministration squabble over the Carillon continued, says student newspapers are widely condemned as irresponsible journalism and the “responsible-minded students

The report also says many people are irate about administration permissiveness toward the student papers and critical of faculty members who “openly expressed views on matters not within their jurisdiction.” “While few dispute the faculty’s right to public speech and often agree with their views, it is generally felt that the president and board chairman should speak for the university.

He wants to be president of the Federation of Students. Not for glory,. not for the political power or prestige, not as a job qualification in later life. He just thinks he can do the best job for the students on this campus. Larry Burko ran in the last election because he wanted to put across a message-and he didn’t expect to win that election because he knew his wasn’t what the majority of students wanted. . He now feels John Bergsma can’t offer the students what they want because he really doesn’t like being president--in fact John is already interviewing companies for employment whenever he’s through being president. Burko won’t play political games with students or administration. He won’t refuse to appoint radicals to posts in his administration just because they’re radicals. If they are capable, he’ll let them do the jobs students want done. He’ll even have radicals in his executive if they’re the best qualified for the civil service functions of student government. You won’t find Larry dealing behind t.he scenes with political advisers-he won’t need them because the political decisions will be made by students themselves and only if students want them.
OTTAWA (CUP )-The Canadian Union of Students came off with a draw in four referendums friday-but they were only the first of a dozen planned for the next five weeks. The union came out with wins at Mount St. Vincent and King’s Mount College in Halifax-the was voting to join for the first time although King’s was a member. It lost St. Mary’s, also in Halifax, and the University of Victoria. An anti-CUS vote kept Southern Alberta Institute of Technology out a week and a half ago. The organization is left facing four referendums this week. three
the next, four others not yet laid ‘down and big one early in March. The count at the all-girls’ Mount St. Vincent was 124 to 95 in CIJS’s favor. King’s went 78 to 40 for the union. But with enrolment at 608 at the Mount and 300 at King’s, it won’t help CUS finances much. ‘4t St. Mary’s, CUS lost 1600 students when the count was 331 to 177 to get out. And at Victoria, which didn’t commit itself to membership-at last fall’s CUS congress, the campus went 961 to 665 for keeping its 5000 students out. Left with 25 members the or-
You +won’t see Larry Burko mouthing off in the Kitchener-waterloo Record about what the student body at the University of Waterloo really thinks because he wouldn’t pretend to. know the campus-wide opinion until the students held a referendum. And he won’t go to a CUS congress unless the delegation is primarily elected to speak for a certain platform. And he will also do his homework before asking for something like a conference of the Ontario Union of Students when such is really unnecessary. What Larry will really do is run the best people-oriented government service he possibly can. This does more to advance the cause of students’ rights for self-determination of their environment than any great amount of rhetoric about responsibility and cooperation possibly can. Larry Burko believes non-poli tical government can work as long as it never forgets its purpose is to serve-not to advance one’s own cause. Larry has given great amounts of time on this campus to the pursuit of fun for his fellow student as well as himself. That is a rare quality is this turbulent age. The Federation of Students will stagnate if the present adminis-
ganization faces a referendum at Edmonton Waterloo tomorrow thursday and Winnipeg friday. The Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan votes february 5. and the next day both Queen’s and Glendon College cast their ballots. The I’niversity of British Columbia plans a two day referendum in march. St. Thomas Aquinas in Fredericton had originally scheduled a referendum january 16. but moved it back sometime in the third week of February. Lakehead. Selkirk College in Castlegar, BC and Vancouver City College all plan referendums sometime.
tration continues. Bergsma has done his job in combining the various moderate factions to end a radical administration that was rapidly becoming ineffectual. Bergsma’s coalition is falling apart-because of graduation of some of its better members and because too many of the remaining are fighting among themselves. Larry has proven his administrative talents many times-in ways which don’t always show but which make a difference in the quality of campus social life. Taking tickets at a dance, organizing a concert, running a major week,end. -Larry has done them all and has received little glory for them. Larry handled a $20,000 budget for homecoming ‘68 and made over a $1000.‘ When the kampus kops were losing money on their dances, they called in Burko. Larry has the administrative ability to run the federation. And he can get the team needed to run the federation properly. Larry has shown himself able to work with anyone. Bring in new workers to restore the federation to a worthy social role. Larry Burko won’t let you down.

Pete Larson and the rest of WUC’s winter carnival committee should be commended for their efforts at this year’s carnival. Considering the odds they faced like lousy weather (again) and choosing entertainment to give good shows, their efforts actually were rewarding. If we use people having a good time as the standard, then Winter Carnival 69 was a success. The entertainment this year reminds me of the Byrds concert a few years ago where the local performers out-did the so-called professionals. We were treated with a repeat of this tragi-comedy. Don Crawford was a good example of good entertainment. He was a folk singer that played around WUC’s campus all week in an almost troubadour style. He did his own thing, some Dylan, Tim Hardin and Leonard Cohen. As well as his dappled repertoire, he had a sort of refreshing, but humble sense of humor. At the animal dance two groups entertained: the Phase III, a local group, and Wilmer and the Dukes. The latter came from Rochester and had a top record out. The Dukes did their soul thing and if the people didn’t get up on lyrics and music, the beat and volume did the trick. One song really grosed out any innocent types there, Baby let me bang your box. It was beautiful, because after they picked their jaws off the floor, some girls sang along. The Mardi Gras (though ;I little pre-season) was a real gas. The weirdos wen 2 out in full force. Costumes were abundant from the excellent to the funny to the none at all. The bands, Major Hoople’s Boarding House 2nd the Bedtime Story were really great. All’s not rosy though.

to see a mediocre Supremes show.
No, I was not pleased at all with the performance. The band sounded amateurish and the supporting entertainers (except for Willy Tyler with his dummy Lester) actually turned me off. They just came and went leaving little to savour. What I mean by a good performance was the Association thing last year when they did an allround show, and did two sets. Funny thing about that, the Association were paid less than half what the Supremes were.

As with any member of a governing body, he must address his energies to those areas in which he has direct responsibility. A federal government’s prime responsibility is in federal matters; a provincial government’s prime responsibility is in provincial matters: and a student government’s prime responsibility is in student matters. We must also recognize that there are limitations to the number of problems to which any president or council can address its energies. In a time when our responsibilities within the university are continually expanding and taking on a more and more effective role. it becomes increasingly necessary to involve more and more competent students. The organization and co-ordination of all these efforts becomes increasingly complex It then becomes evident that the president and his council That is, we must decide which must establish priorities. problems we wish to attack and how extensive this attack must be. We must delineate the problems to which we will address ourselves and in what order we will address ourselves. The priorities of this presidential administration are outlined as follows:

In this manner, we hope to eliminate some of the existing antogonisms and rivalries which have resulted when the societies felt that the Federation was infringing upon their rights and duties. Because we have established certain priorities, this does not mean that other problems are ignored or are not in the student interest. It means that council first deals with the most pressing matters and areas of concern that are most immediate and where students are able to effect change. 1 urge all of vou to vote for continuing change and progress. negotiated through responsible representation.

I Education The emphasis in the Board of Education will be on the analysis of our course content and philosophy, the performance of professors and students. We will establish a program in conjunction with the faculty association, faculty societies, and individual departments to initiate a system that works from the “grass roots” up. The Board of Education’s main function in this context is one of co-ordination and exchange. In addition, the Board of Education will bring to our campus experts in educational reform to enable us to keep pace with the newest developments and theories of educational practice.

Sidney Nestel’s article in last Friday’s Chevron showed a good understanding of the lines now being drawn in the faculty of mathematics. May I invite further discussion? There is no conflict here between theoretical (pure) and applied mathematics. The conflict is between mathematics as an intellectual and as a technical discipline. associate lyrics

With president Hagey’s announcement of a one-tier system of government for the university, it becomes obvious that Iler’s methods did achieve important powers for the st,udents. Bergsma has served his purpose in cooling the tempers between the administration and the students. Now we need the goals of Iler to take advantage of the new respect the administration has for the responsibility of the students in governing this university. My write-in vote, as a protest against the slate presented, won’t be Winnie-the-pooh. It will be Brian Iler.

It has always been the recognized duty of technical departments to draw into their curricula appropriate scientific and theoretical study, td serve as a basis for the future development of the technical specialty. Thus electrical engineers familiarize themselves with Maxwell’s field equations, semiconductor physics, and information theory. It is not at all clear what should constitute the scientific orientation of technical mathematics : computer programming, actuarial work, optimization and modelbuilding. Assuming that we manage to set these specialties in a relevant scientific context, we encounter a further and peculiar responsibility. If we entice a student into a technical program, hinting of a golden future, we must prepare a realistic analysis of present and future employment opportunities, and must alert him to the day when his five-year meal ticket will expire. the

Even if we decide it is advisable to train people for specific types of technical employment, it will never be our privilege to advise students to pursue such programs of instruction. If a student acquires any int,ellectual involvement in his courses or in the university life, it should be nurtured, challenged and rewarded. It seems bizarre to have to point out that students still select courses because they are interested in a field, or enjoy an intellectual challenge, and have no intention of cashing in their transcript on graduation. to dump

Immediate monetary rewards to the technically-oriented student and university are substantial. Special scholarships, cooperative iponsorship of reemployment, search and assured post-graduate employment are all at stake. Given that a faculty receives funds in proportion to the number of students enrolled, this university’s tendency to spawn more technical and less academic programs is understandable. Well
Only from students have I heard the counterargument: “The technical student is the alienated student. He is both laborer and product, designed for the future employer rather than for himself .”

these issues is more readily available from students than from faculty. Faculty members are likely to say “We are preparing students for the jobs they want to get.

It’s unfortunate that Steve Ewing is finding his first-year lectures such a disappointing experience. Surely among half-adozen courses there must be one course of interest to an imaginative student. Although a grad student, I took an undergraduate English course last semester and am taking another one now. Last semester’s course was extremely stimulating with much student participation incorporated into every lecture. This semester, with another professor, the whole course is run on a seminar basis. Various thoughtprovoking questions are discussed in an informal atmosphere. There is no threat of an examination, therefore, no danger of regurgitation. This apparently unstructured approach appears to appeal to students. for attendance is high and involvement enthusiastic. You’re wrong if you think all the exciting things are happening only in graduate departments.

As well, there are many other parts of this historic change which still lack clarification. The responsibilities this governing body will. have and the manner in which it will function have not been decided. The terms of’ reference and membership of the major committees have not been determined. And the means of transition to the new structure have not been specified. The cheers and the headlines that this move by the men who govern us is supposed to evoke cannot be justified at all. It will be unfortunate indeed if the faculty and students who comprise this university are taken in by this so-called progressive move.
As has already been said, Lobban’s interference with the running of the security depart,ment b! AI Romenco is well-known on this campus, particularly as it relates to enforcement of the parking regulations. And despit, p recent. and also well-known, attempts on the part of administration vicepresident A1 Adlington to try to get RGmenco to deny any such interference, we feel, that if called to testify under
oath, Romenco would supply a long list of such instances. It seerns too that such a court case could be extremely beneficial to the university communities, since it would probably expose for the first time a good part of the real decision-making process on this campus. Hopefully the courtroom investigation would allso discover j~?st what there is about Lobban’s operations that make him consider it libel to suggest he has been on the security department’s baC. to enforce parking regulations to the letter. It should be a very interesting case.
If anyone has told you that a letter they sent to the Chevron for publication in feedback wasn’t printed, then he’s a liar. The very few letters from members of the university’s communities not published this year were withdrawn by the authors. Every other signed letter has been printed with the basic content unedited. They are changed only to correct spelling, grammar
and major-style problems. This policy. one which the socalled professional press has never had, was introduced this year to ensure that anyone who wished to find a voice through the Chevron could do so. All letters addressed to iecdback, c/o the Chevron are welcome. Deadline for the Friday issue is Monday evening, although rare exceptions may be made.
The Chevron challenges Bill Lobban, the administration’s director of the physical-plant and planning department. to proceed with his suit for libel.

Referees don’t score points but they can win or lose a game. Saturday night at a game between first place Western Mustangs and third place Waterloo Warriors held in the recreation center, the referees lost one for us. The basketball Warriors gave them a good deal of support but that doesn’t excuse the ineptness demonstrated by the menin-stripes. But more of that later. The dribble-and-shot boys opened the game with the best basketball seen this year. Everything was bouncing their way. Rebounds were the key as lanky Gary Dyck and his mates contrblled both backboards. Western aided their efforts with inaccurate shooting and such mistakes as travelling and three second violations. There seemed to be no stopping the Warriors as they opened a 23 point gap with five minutes -remaining in the first half. The Mustangs began findingthe distance in the last few minutes. The score at half time was 42-27. Big men for Waterloo at the half were Jaan Laaniste and Tom Kieswetter with eight points apiece. The fans thought it was too good to be ture. Even if the Warrior’s fell apart it would be inconceivable that Western could overcome the 15-point deficit. But little did we know. No one had scouted the referees. At the start of the second half the Warriors seemed to maintain their,;shooting went cold. At the

C re twmero Warrior captain Ronnie Robinson led his teammates to victory and sole possession of first place in the intercollegiate league, by firing four goals and collecting two assists. Robinson playing despite a severly bruised shoulder was superb in this OQAA encounter. The 5’10” 172-pound Collingwood native demonstrated why he is rated as the finest centreman in the university loop last Saturday afternoon. Robinson’s linemate, Dave Rudge hustled throughout the match and contributed two goals and four assists to the lop-sided win over the Windsor Lancers. Roger Kropf and Dick Oudekerk, the outstanding blueliner of the
uno Warrior’s defence brigade fired singles. Ken Laidlaw, the Warrior’s top right-winger and rugged blueliner Neil Cotton were injured early in the contest. La.idlaw suffered a severe groin injury, while Cotton received a deep gash near the eye. These individuals are two very valuable members of the Warrior hockey club and will have to be in good health if Waterloo hopes to defeat the powerful Varsity Blues tomorrow evening. Don Hayes, head coach of the Warriors, has now piloted his Waterloo chargers to a 17-2-l record.

their momentum. But then their shooting went cold. At the same time the Mustangs came on led by Dave McGuffin. Waterloo’s lead began to shrink until, at 9:14 the score was knotted 52-52. A combination of weak passing, cold shooting and bad breaks on the part of the homers helped Western’s comeback. Waterloo’s best ball handler Tom Kieswetter was the steadiest man for Waterloo in the second half bringing the ball up-court with authority. He seemed to be the only one able to pull the team together as it began to stink the place ‘out. But with just over four minutes remaining, fate, dressed in stripes, took over. With perhaps the greatest display of theatrics to be seen at the recreation center a Western player fell flat on his back in front of Kieswetter. Mr. Referee thought this display should not go unrewarded so fingered Tommy for charging. This being his fifth personal foul Kiewsetter left the game, to the chagrin of all. The Warriors managed to hold together but their spark was gone. The lead switched hands repeatedly. With about 15 seconds to go the score was deadlocked 64-64. Western’s McGuffin missed a shot and the rebound was grabbed by Dave Crichton. The Warriors called time with nine seconds to go* When they took the floor again the hometown lads appeared to be in the drivers seat. But a bad

The basketball Athenas saw action over the weekend as Waterloo played host to the Five School Women’s Sports Day involving badminton, volleyball and basketball. In the overall standings, the Waterloo teams tied for first with Windsor and McMaster with 17 points. Guelph followed closely with 16 points and Lutheran had eight points. The Waterloo girls came second in the basketball division by defeating McMaster, Guelph and Lutheran. Their only loss was 38-30 decision to Windsor. The strong shooting of Kate Innis and Cookie Leach, who netted 14 and 12 points respectively, lead the Windsor team to victory. Waterloo had trouble breaking through the Windsor defence and was unable to utilize fast breaks. Pat Bland scored nine points for the Waterloo girls. The Athenas came up with an easy 34-22 win over the Lutheran girls. Betty Etue netted seven points for the winners with Jan Meyer and Pat Bland adding six each. Lutheran’s Sally Folland scored 10 of her team’s 22 points. In the McMaster game, the b-ball Athenas were charged with 27 fouls but still managed a 39-29 victory over the Hamilton girls. Waterloo had an 18-15 lead at the half and then finished with a big 14 point final quarter for the win. Bevie Stueck netted 10 points for Waterloo and Sue Baldwin gained eight. The team came on strong in their final game as they downed Guelph 38-13. The Waterloo squad built up a 15-1 lead in the first six minutes and then kept Guelph scoreless to have a 23-l lead at the half. Bev Stueck and Charlotte Shaule tallied 11 apiece for the home team. The Waterloo defence gave up only three field goals as Guelph scored seven of their 13 points on foul shots. The basketball team returns to league play on Tuesday when they travel to Ryerson. They then host Windsor on Friday night in the recreation center. A win for the Windsor team on Friday could gain them a tie with Waterloo for first place in the league standings.

pass was intercepted and flipped to Greg Poole. In desperation he swished one from more than 25 feet out as the buzzer sounded. Western went home with a 66-64 win. For Warriors, top scorers were Dyck with 15 points, Laaniste with 12 and Sobol and Kieswetter with 11 apiece. The Warriors spark seemed to dribble out of them in the second half while Western began to jell. However the net increase and decrease was about even. The thing that tipped the scales was dressed in stripes. It ma) be sour grapes to criticize the officiating after a loss but there are legitimate complaints. Bad calls were made on both sides. This is inevitable. However the referee seemed to be making a conscious effort to even out the bad ones. One mistake isn’t justified my making a worse one. It just indicates that referees had lost control ot the game. The foul on Kieswetter was the most obvious and important display of incompetence. The Western player fell. It certainly wasn’t the first bit of faking in baskettmU. But a good referee should be wise to these shenanigans. Being completely sucked in by such a ruse is strictly highschool stuff. It was summed up best by a disgruntled fan : “This is a piece of shit”.
Moncton strikers listed with the crown attorney MONCTON (CUP)-Names of participants in the recent science building occupation at l’universite de Moncton have been turned over to the crown attorney by university rector Adelard Savoie. With the list of n’ames is a message asking that the matter be treated with care and consideration toward the students. There is no mention of charges, although there has been no word on the results of an investigation of damages conducted last weekend. A spokesman for the attorney’s office said the names will be kept on file until the matter is fully discussed by the university’s board of governors. Student leaders fear the list will be used as an instrument to blackmail if a boycott of classes is resumed. Besides names of those who took part in the occupation, the list mentions students and faculty who signed a note of sympathy with the protestors.
