OF WATERLOO,

Waterloo,

RSM holds peaceful by Bill Brown -

staff

A peaceful library study-in has resulted in the formation of a joint negotiating committee to study student demands regarding the library. The RSM-sponsored study-in started 11: 30 Wednesday morning. About 50 students moved into the library as an RSM broadsheet was simultaneously distributed. An hour and a half earlier the radicals explained the nature and procedure of the study-in to the library staff. The staff were somewhat tense and worried about the situation but as the study-in proceeded in a quiet orderly fashion the tension dissipated and library business went on with no disruption. / Meanwhile, interim administration president, Howard Petch, had kampus kops block the entrances to the administrative part of the building, starting at 8 am. They stopped anyone who wasn’t staff or didn’t have “an appointment from the president”. Anyone who looked like he might think of being a radical wasn’t allowed his foot in the door. The study-in*gathered strength through noon hour and had about sixty people covering the first floor catalog area by early afternoon,. Dozens were working in other parts of the library as well as handing out broadsheets and presenting a petition at the door. The whole thing proceeded quietly although the visual aspects were not the usual library scene. There were posters on the walls with such slogans as “10 percent” and “more books”. People milled around the first floor of the library examining the petitions and broadsheets and whispering in groups about the issues. The radicals had a table set up to sell some of their literature and buttons. With all the peop-

le sitting around the floor and cameras whirring and clicking it just wasn’t the average library scene at the main entrance. Students entering the library to study were generally sympathetic to the RSM’s demonstration. A large number signed the petition for the RSM demands then went on in to work. The library staff, after their initial worry, were mainly unperturbed by the study-in. There were no complaints from either students or staff about the conduct of the demonstration. The only negative comments concerned the radical literature table which some library staff did not like. Suddenly, about one o’clock, word came that Bob Verdun, Chevron managing editor, had been arrested for pounding on the door to the administration part of the building. The word was that he had been dragged into the building and nobody could-find out what had happened to him or where he was taken. This caused much alarm among the demonstrating students in the library and discussion and investigation started immediately. The original alarm was held in check as everyone made an effort to keep cool to avoid any possible eruptions. An RSM member got in to see Verdun and spoke to him for a minute. He reported that Verdun was OK but was charged with obstructing an officer. People stayed calm awaiting further news from history prof Leo Johnson, and faculty association president Bob Huang who were meeting with Petch about the Verdun incident. Petch also met with Stewart Saxe, Chevron editor, and two other reporters. As all the information came out the situation lost its tension. Verdun was released from Waterloo jail after being charged with caus-

All was quiet and peaceful in the there were just a few extra radicals the library, security guards patrolled ing a public disturbance by shouting. About 4:30 a letter was sent to Petch, from the demonstrators, restating their demands and asking him to come down and make some firm statement of his position on the demands. Petch replied that he would be willing to talk to them but reiterated a previous statement that he would not negotiate with the RSM. The library protestors decided they didn’t want to hear him unless he had a new concrete proposal. Petch did not appear. Students spelled each other off for supper and around 7 pm numbers began to increase again. Later in t.he evening, the demon-

Council In a marathon debate that lasted from 11 pm Wednesday to 1: 45 am, student council passed a motion calling for pressure on the provincial government to increase grants for libraries in newer universities ; supported the demands of library study-in; supported the study-in itself; voted to pay legal expenses for the arrested student; and narrowly defeated a motion to censure the administration for closing the administration building. The library debate began with a report from library committee member Brad Munro. Munro’s recommendation was to pressure the government to increase grants to newer universities. The debate spread to the whole library question as library committee member Ron Trbovich made a plea for the library budget to come off the top of the university operating budget and that I it be at least ten percent. Former councillor Tom Patterson said the library has failed to grow at the same rate as the enrolment and that Petch’s compromise to increase acquisitions to $806,000 was a step in the right direction, but no solution. “The government is under pressure because of the economy and is not providing library funds.

strators decided to present the petition with almost 800 signatures to student council. They marched over to the board and senate room en mass and presented the petition. Council, after much discussion passed motions backing the RSM study-in and demands. Thursday morning council members met with RSM members to discuss a negotiating committee to present the joint RSM-council demands to Petch. Federation president John Bergsma informed the meeting that he could not represent council in the negotiating because he personally took a very strong stand against the study-in and demands.

A long discussion of representivity, and a council versus president split ensued. The whole question of the library issue was discussed again with a certain amount of agreement reached, but Bergsma felt he could not back the study-in methods and could not represent council in the negotiations. Two members from the RSM and two from council were chosen to negotiate. The members of council’s library study groups would be on the negotiating committee for resource information. Negotiators from council are Larry Caesar, arts rep and Nick Kouwen, grad rep. The RSM members are Tom Patterson and Mike Corbett.

supports MM We have to gear our library budgeting to meet the pressures. While more people are getting some kind of education, we are not keeping up the quality. Increased quantity of graduates will mean negligible, if any, overall improvement for society,” said Patterson. History prof Leo Johnson said that the proportion of faculty salaries and library expenditures together in the total operating budget had been falling in the last three years. After further debate and some procedural wrangling, the motion calling for pressure on the government passed with little opposition (Bergsma abstained ). It included an amendment saying that increased funds must come from taxes on capital gains, not wages. Engineering rep Bill Fish, arts rep, Larry Caesar and Renison rep, Paul Dube were the prime speakers for the amendment. Next council supported the demands of the study-in group and immediately a motion came up to support the study-in itself. Council was told there were almost 800 signatures on the petition already. The vote went 13-12 on a rollcall : Supporting the study-in: engineers Bill Fish. Anne Banks and Kich Lloyd. out-

Council next considered a motion to pay the legal expenses of Bob Verdun, who was arrested at the door of the administration building, and pay his fine if convicted on the-criminal charge laid by the kampus kops. The motion also proposed paying the legal expenses for Verdun’s criminal assault charge against the security officer, if the. federation lawyer agrees. Verdun told his story and answered questions. Sinasac tried to table the motion, but failed. Other dissidents succeeded in getting the motion split into three parts for voting. Before voting started Bergsma spoke saying he was in favor of the entire motion. All three parts carried easily. The final library item was a continued

Panel tackles

university

The groovy board of education’s panel discussion monday night in the campus center was everything but groovy. Although it had all the ingredients needed for an explosive discussion, namely six people who were bound to disagree, repetition killed it. Ken McLeod, math 4 and presently editor of Math Medium, started off the speaking part discussing mainly the role of the student in the university. He divided the students at university into three groups, those who want training in order to obtain a BA those rare students who want to learn, and the radical idealists who want to make changes.5 McLeod claimed that while the learners were usually quite prqductive, the social changers were not, in a direct way. The thing McLeod lamented about the university is that each type of student is subjected to the same programs even though they’ have completely different ends in mind. Dr. David Kirk, head of the sociology department followed McLeod. His idea of the university came across well in his statement that it was “a pool for unemployed labor” where students and faculty “frequently

don’t talk the same language” and “professors are kings in their special domains”. He felt low attendance from poorer families is the reason that such a highly selective group of people attend universitites. The proposed college of integrated studies is to Kirk an elitist solution for it will be available to only a few. Next speaker, Dr. Henry Crapo, acting. head of the pure math department followed Kirk with a discussion on the division between the two university’ communities, faculty and students. He feels both are at fault for not producing a more coherent society, and that the university must bring about in the future the awareness lacking now. He has ,found the faculty at Waterloo “very negligent about getting control of public funds which they should be controlling” and firmly believes that students should be made useful to themselves as well as to their employers. According to Crapo a most valuable experience-thought -is prevented by useless marking systems and examinations. Dr. George Atkinson of the chemistry department opened

Atkinson feels that the university separates productivity from creativity and that since some students wish either one the separation must take place.

“Effective take place the reality

Since our society at large is a hierarchical one, it follows that this carries into the university administration. Holmes feels the emphasis should be on learning instead of teaching and that at present “a lecture is the transfer of facts from the notes of the professor to the notes of the student without. passing through the minds of each”.

The next speaker, Tom Patterson, history 3 radical student movement linember discussed the strategy of changing the university so that productivity and creativity were no longer separated. He feels that training now is stifling and uncreative, devoted to maintaining the status quo. To change the university and close the gap between productivity and creativity it is necessary to redirect the power outside the school to a more balanced position between worker and emplayer . The

Kirk’s reply to this was that at certain levels “you must see without getting personally involved’ ’ . He ended his comments by calling Briggs. “a dogmatic ignoramus”. The debate grew heated when Cyril Levitt, poli-sci 3, sarcastically commented on Kirk’s part in teaching two well-known radicals, Peter Warrian and David Black.

Following the introductory speeches, much of which was dull and repetitious, a more lively question period began which rapidly developed into a two-man game between Patterson and Kirk. Most of the questions from the audience were directed. at

AcfmjP1istration lnterim administration president Howard Petch said tuesday he was expecting “some sort of sitin or seizure of the library to take place Wednesday”. As a result, Petch made elaborate preparations to repel the expected seige. He began tuesday at noon with a flyer that was distributed by university staff. Village janitors placed the leaflets on dining tables and the five administration secretaries, including venerable presidential secretary Mary Busbridge, distributed in such places as the campus center great hall. Wednesday morning the administration portion of the library building was fortified. Six kampus the -first floor kops guarded entrances, admitting only known staff people and students who could prove they had appointments. Fire-doors leading from the library’ areas of the building into the admin areas were barricaded.

University

A service elevator used by the library staff to take returned books from the main floor to the third floor was shut off by Petch’s order. The librarians tried to proceed with their work, and were aided by some of the protesters who carried the books upstairs. Petch locked himself into his office on the fourth floor. The entrance control was touchy all day and resulted in one arrest in the afternoon. In the morning, Mike Corbett, arts 1, insisted he could go to the business office without an appointment and finally Petch came down and escorted Corbett to the business office and out again personally. Even after the passive nature of the protest became evident at noon, Petch did not relax security. At least five plainclothes city policemen were in the library building. One RCMP officer was reported to be taking pictures in front of the building.

not broke

What did happen to the operating surplus mentioned in wednesday’s ‘Library study-in’ flyer? The flyer, published by the radical student movement, said there was a $478,000 surplus in the operating budget because the government grants and tuition for September’s lOOO-student overenrolment were not all allocated. Administration treasurer Bruce that Gellatly said Wednesday the $478,006was indeed unallocated and that it would be used first to cover overbudget expenditures at the end of the fiscal year in june. “After that,” he said, “our first priority for the money will be our capital needs.” He said he expected an overexpenditure of about budget $100,000 for heat, light, power and water. Any other contingencies cannot be specific, but Gellatly hoped to be able to use the rest of the expected $378,000 for part of the university’s share of capital projects. The surplus resulted from operating funds being reallocated sparingly, with only the faculty budgets getting percentage increases. While enrolment was 14.8 percent higher than projected, redrawn budget increased library services and acquisitions by only 11.2 percent over last spring’s projection. As well, more than 40 percent of the overenrolment came in arts where library needs are greater. / It appears that in the redrawn

budget services budget was not increased enough to handle the increase in acquisitions. The service budget was increased from $719,000 in april to $751.000 in december (a 4.5 percent increase) while the acquisitions allowance went from $533,000 to $642,000 (about 20 percent). This does not include two outside grants totalling $71,000 for acquisitions. History prof Leo Johnson and student library committee member Ron Trobovich questioned both the increase in total library budget and the insufficient increase in staff. “This will lead to an even greater amount of unspent acquisitions funds in 1968-69,” said Johnson, “because the library staff can’t handle it. Petch’s compromise proposal for next year does the same thing by increasing the proportion of acquisitions but not of library operating budget. Even his proposed floating fund will not alleviate the problem completely. ” The provincial government does not allow direct expenditure of operating grants on capital needs, but through a loophole, the university can claim the money comes from other sources such as parking fees, extension course tuition and the excess of our tuition fees over the provincial average. This way, the university could spend up to $900,000 of the operating budget on capital expenditures.

surplus

The RSM flyer also questioned the existence at this time of an underenrolment contigency of $180,000. Administration treasurer Bruce Gellatly admitted Wednesday that this was basically a slush fund. The university normally budgets about two percent of total operating funds for an underenrolment contingency, but this year the $400,000 allotted was completly unnecessary with the lOOO-student overenrolment. After fall dropouts and an increase in faculty salaries granted out of the fund in january, there is now $180,000 left. Gellatly said a possible maining use of the fund

motion to censure the administration for closing the administration building. Mike Corbett, arts 1, said he had talked to security director Al Romenco and Romenco had said he didn’t expect anything but a peaceful demonstration and that he had told administration president Howard Petch that. Corbett said several faculty members, including faculty association, president Bob Huang, told Petch Wednesday afternoon that ’ the kampus kops were unnecessary. Bergsma said security was necessary to protect the building. Former councillor Cyril Levitt said it was common knowledge that the protest was an entirely non-disruptive study-in. He suggested the administration called in the security forces so they would have a better case to prove conspiracy. “Petch went on Radio Waterloo and said RSM meetings weren’t open. That’s not true,” said Levitt. “The ‘past examples,” he continued, “show that violence in student protests has only started when the cops were called. The administration should be censured for their provocative action with the security forces. ” Council members and spectators then demanded that Nick Kouwen speak because he had been heckling. He said only that he had known several occasions where radicals had been trying to get arrested. Radio Waterloo announcer Bruce Steele told council that Petch had said that he was afraid the demonstration would escalate. said Steele, “I “However,” have it on tape where Petch said students could move through the administration floors freely and that no action would be taken if the demonstration was peaceful.” Steele said Petch went on to say he heard something bigger was coming. Petch also said he wouldn’t attend RSM meetings because they were closed and were held between 1 and 4 am. Cousineau said, “The administration is just looking at an investment they want to protect. There’s no plot. ” Gordon said Petch really cared about students because he’s come to most of the student council meetings. “Why isn’t he here now? Why did he go home before we debated h*..L ‘ ‘. .

the library? ’ ’ asked council members. “We shouldn’t be here discussing petty things till all hours either,” replied Gordon. “we’re talking politics. Politics should be left out of this council. ” Gordon got at least a minute of sarcastic applause. Dube and other RSM members reminded council that radical student movement meetings were completely open, were advertised with 30 to 50 posters every time and that they never started later than 10 pm. They noted that the discussion on the form of the demonstration took place in a meeting where several faculty were present. Larry Burko asked why the administration didn’t police all the buildings if they were so concerned about radicals damaging things. Brian Keenan, engineering 4A, spoke about the over-concern for property and the need for educating and communicating to the reactionaries on campus. “My interest in the library issue is not because I can’t get the books I need from the EMS library, but because a group of engineers in the senior study room said ‘let’s get a power block and go and move the radicals.’ And then I asked some RSM members why they didn’t have a study-in in the EMS library. They said they didn’t want to get their heads busted,” said Keenan.. Keenan spoke of the stupidity-of

closing the building the way they did. “Fire doors were barricaded with two-by-fours. A guy on crutches wasn’t let in: he could sure do a lot of damage.” “The RSM has carried the ball and now council wants to get in the’ game. Council should help out with communicating action and education. The real problem is coming from reactionaries. It’s time for many of the councillors to implement their campaigp promises of communication,” he concluded. Debate continued, but it became clear that some of the councillors who supported the studyin could not condemn the administration. On a roll call, the censure motion was defeated 14-11. In favor: Banks, Lloyd. Fillimore. Dhawan. Berry, Berry. Dube. Caesar. Cubberley. Pickles and Yack. Opposed: Sinasac. Driver. Gordon, Kouwen. Wang, Greenburg. Cuthbertson, Bartolacci, Campbell, Minken. Wootton, Snodgrass. Cousineauand Bergsma.

After the vote, Patterson asked council if they would use their official power to negotiate with the administration to help achieve the demands they passed foT the library. “Since you agree with our demands and supported the action, then the executive should get together with the RSM to do some negotiating with Petch,” said Patterson. Bergsma agreed and a meeting was set for thursday morning.

Meanwhile at EMS library Anne Banks, civil 2A held her own sit-in in support of the protestors in arts library. She explained her absence from the arts library because, like most engineers, she had never been there and didn’t know where it was. .

fee crisis

REGINA (CUP )-The fee collection conflict at the ITniversity of Saskatchewan ended last week when the board of governors finally agreed to student demands that it continue to collect, student union fees at source. The agreement. reached between student council and board negotiators, was ratified by a general meeting of students last Thursday and was also ratified at a board meeting Thursday night. The conflict began December 31 when the board announced it would no longer collect union fees in a fairly obvious attempt to throttle its major campus antagonist, the student newspaper, the Carillon. Ever since then, students have demanded the board recant and leave the Carillon alone, and slowly built - _-.up general student support for that position. The negotiations staggered on for* over six weeks as the board waited for student pressure to subside. The negotiations themselves kept stumbling over various issues-at first the question of openness but later the major problem of the Carillon. Thestudent negotiators were adamant throughout that the Carillon be independent of the university administration and directed solely by the students. The Carillon has repeatedly proved a major source of embarrassment to the board and the provincial government. The agreement itself read as follows: -The university (administration) will collect student fees from all students as determined by the student union. -Student fees will be collected along with tuition fees each semester and only the portion held in trust by the university for the student union building will not be paid to the union not later than one month after collection. -Each year a majority of s&dents at a general meeting or a referendum must approve the fees before they will be collected., -The Union agrees to provide the university with an audited financial statement within 60 days of the end of the fiscal year. -The agreement will be in effect for one year-

settled

until August 1970-however, it will continue from year to year after that unless either party gives notice of cancellation by March 1. In an attempt to avoid further confrontation between the board and students, the parties agreed to set up a liaison committee to deal generally with all matters of common interest. The committee will be composed of five representatives of the board and twelve student representatives. It will meet at least twice a semester and report back to the parent bodies. And this liaison committee will handle all disputes involving the Carillon. The Carillon, it was agreed in the negotiations, will adhere to the code of ethics set by Canadian University Press. Any grievance against the Carillon with respect to performance under the code will be dealt with ~by the liaison committee. The student victory at the bargaining table was a clear vindication of the student strategy to involve the mass of students and the community in the dispute. All decisions were made in large open meetings and abided with by student leaders. The Saskatchewan community was continually informed on the situation and frequently called on for support. The administration gave up when it became apparent there would be no violent action by the students to prejudice their case and when it was obvious that the general mass of students would not support the administration in its bid to destroy the student union and the Carillon. Inflammatory speeches in the provincial legislature and by Premier Ross Thatcher did not help the administration either. This week’s election-in a large turnoutof strongly pro-union student leaders convinced the board they couldn’t win. In a similar situation last year, McGill University’s principal H. Rocke Robertson stopped plans to discontinue fee collection for the student council when he also was confronted with a student show of solidarity against his proposal.

Verdun was picked up by officer Barron of the kampus kops when he asked to be admitted to the basement of the library. Barron first charged Verdun with obstructing a police officer but security director Al Romenco changed the charge to disturbing before it was officially laid at Waterloo police headquarters.

An obstructing charge would have been difficult to make stick since Barron had to charge through a door to get Verdun. There are numerous witnesses to the incident. Verdun has sworn a complaint of assault against Barron, but the crown attorney does not have to accept it. Verdun says it was his intention to complain of assault before he was arrested. At its Wednesday meeting stud-

When we do so you yell police brutality.” Verdun was released on his own recogniz!ance about 3 pm. He had been arrested at 1 pm.

drawn up by Tom Brzustowski, engineering faculty rep and chancellor Ira Needles, chairmen respective of the senate and board committees studying the university government report. Brzustowski opened discussion by presenting the brief to the meeting. In his introduction he urged that “one shouldn’t view the changes as the abolition of anything-the senate or the board of governors-but as a consolidation.” He also emphasized the importance of having a substantial block of those people who have already demonstrated their interest in the university, since they helped establish it. Attempts by graduate studies dean George Cross and librarian Doris Lewis to discuss the definition and responsibilities of the new body before considering its makeup failed. Glenn Berry, student representative said “it is obvious that the new body will be the supreme governing body. That represents to me a reasonably clear picture of what it will do.” Science dean Pete McBryde disagreed “Mr. Berry has suggested that this is all there is to it. I’m not sure that isn’t an oversimplification. He referred to the seeming inability of the senate to act as more than a rubber stamp and the inability of board members to be more than superficially aware of the activities in the university, a view expressed earlier by university chancellor Ira Needles. ” George Henderson, a board of governors member said that this discussion was getting him more confused with time. He said “you cannot run any corporation without an administrative staff to take day to day charge of affairs. The administration is a pretty capable group. If they’re not, the new board can replace them and it’s that simple. As a governing body we are a g u i d e to the paid staff-we are not going to meet every week.” Henderson felt that since the senate dealt with academic matters and the board dealt with financial matters. the

purpose of the new body was already defined as to deal with both. He questioned the right to cha’nge those responsibilities placed on the universities shoulder3 by the Ontario government, since the government was now footing 95 per cent of the financial bill. “Whether we like it or not, we are forced to realize that since the government is paying the shot, government control will incr’ease unless there is strong university opposition. ” Henderson also questioned why the ex-officio members (administration) were voting members. ‘+In industry people in these positions appear before the board of directors. If they had no vote they might feel freer in their administrative actions. ” Gerry Wootton, student representative, felt that since the administratiion hierarchy makes the decisions in power they should have at least as much if not more voting power than the other members. Joe Given.%. another student rep argued that there is a point where the numbers are too small

propo~a/

to be effective both on the governing body and in committees. It is not a matter of students being able to observe meetings but whether there will be enough reps to undertake all the work. He mentioned budgeting and student aid as examples of student concerns. Hdwever, Berry wanted to increase student representation because students are not experienced. articulate, or knowledgeable because of their tender green years. Math prof Ralph Staal attacked the logic attempted by Berry.” What he is proposing is a tax on competence and experience. If you pursue his argument td its semi: logical conculsion it would be rather harmful to the student composition on the final body.” These arguments were largely ignored since a subsequent vote increased student representation on the drafting committee to two. Generally the meeting was in favour of increased student participation. Librarian Doris Lewis felt that a large number of students was necessary to ensure continuity of ideas among students be-

cause of quick turnover. Alumni rep Paul Copeland thought that decisions of this board will affect students strongly thus there is a need for stronger student participation. Don Anderson. board of governors member became concerned with the apparent ballooning of the size of the new governing body ‘in its attempt at representativity. He said he would be the first to resign if the body became so large that business could not be disposed of quickly. In the most driving part of his speech Anderson stated “After all I am from industry and we emplo! people who come out of the universities and we seek people out of the universiXies. but I think we seek a certain kind of person. If the university proceeds to establish courses that are not oriented to the way of life of the twentieth century then they may as well fold up because the world has to go on. things have to be made. machines have to be made and so on.

Arts group concerning Regulations the granting of honors degrees and the possibility of having students on the admissions committee were the stibjects of discussion. in arts faculty council tuesday. The undergraduate affairs Group has recommended that departments of the arts faculty be allowed to recommend the granting of an honors BA to students who have completed a make-up year, after having received a general BA from this or some other university. It Was asked if this changed the present regulations on residence: that is, at this time a student has to study at this university for the third year of a general program or the third and fourth years of an honors program. After some debate, Jack Gray, associate dean of arts, admitted that this was the case. Only with great difficulty was a clear and simple motion brought forth. It was moved that all departments in the arts faculty may recommend the granting of an honors BA to any student who fulfills the requirements of the concerned department, irrespective of whether he has received a previous degree here or elsewhere. Larry Caesar, member of the undergraduate affairs group. was asked why he as a student wanted to be part of the arts admissions committee. He replied he personally did not want to sit on the committee, but he thought that students could play a valuable part on the committee by adding a different viewpoint. Several members of the council suggested there was no real val-

ue in having students on the committee since it was administrative rather than policy-making, and it involved a great deal of work. A more serious but rather familiar objection was raised by philosophy professor Judy I%‘ubnig. She said that students are completely unqualified to sit on the admissions committee-professors are the only people who are qualif ied to judge who should be admitted to university by virtue of the extensive education they have re-

ceived-and it is not the role of students qua students to judge who should join them as students. Wubnig had previously stated that the situation of students sitting on the admissions committee is analogous to patients in a hospital choosing who should be admitted. Students seemed to be eligible to sit on the admissions committee. since it is a subcommittee of the undergraduate affairs group. of which students are already part.

clown on Sir George

Waterloo Lutheran’s student council decided to send bail money to Sir George last week but reconsidered after student protests. The student administrative council had passed a motion approving in principle the loan of money to bail out students in jail for participation in the Sir George occupation. The motion said the action was intended as a protest against the Canadian bail system. Faced with many complaints and the threat of & petition to impeach the whole council, the council held a special meeting to re-examine the motion.

issue

Arts rep Paul Jones, who put forth the original motion, defended it. “Council should state that this action is being taken to protest the federal bail system which favors the rich and is left to the whims of prejudiced law officials.” But this time, his motion was defeated by a sizable majority. Former student president Bill Ballard said, “Council is making a grave mistake when it considers interfering in the internal affairs of another university. ”

ROFESSOR Wyn Rees, principal of Renison College is one academic who must face the charge of not only embracing change, but also of fomenting it. Exhibit A is the degree of student participation in residential and academic decisions developed within the last year. Exhibit B. is the integrative studies program which commences next year. I This year, in response to a student brief the old system of dean-evaluation has been abolished and all disciplinary powers have been handed to the eight dons. Plugged into this body is a judicial committee, consisting of two head dons and two student council representatives, which hears appeals. Another development has come in lieu of diminishing communications between students and administrationthe co-ordinating committee, established to absorb feedback from both sectors and then to integrate them. Not completely autonomous, this body must report to the board of governors. Here again, recent changes have seated students on board committees, including and academic-public relations. building-planning, Although this is not a parity situation, it could be considered an attempt to move in the right direction.

In 1959 the college was granted a charter by the provincial government and in June 1960 it became affiliated with Uniwat. It offers a wide range of arts courses and this function will continue.

Rees admits student input is invaluable. He cites the case of former don Peter Benedict who first approached the idea of future underground facilities. Expansion -slated for completion in 1971-will accommodate 350 more students, bringing the total to 530. ideas the architect By incorporatingBenedict’s, conceived an economical plan which includes an under’ . ground dining room with tunnels and elevators leading to all of the residences, meaning a saving of both space and money. Economical is the catch-word here because funds are scarce, at least for this church college. The Anglican Church has in the past siphoned a large portion of it’s money off to London’s Huron College, leaving Renison like a babe in the wilderness. Therefore, planners have confined themselves to the standard “blocks” which usually pass for residences. These structures only have double rooms and many students voice the opinion that it would be more desirable to have semi-private rooms to ensure at least minimal privacy of the student. This brings US to the question of the individual at Renison. HOW does he relate to his fellow residents? Most of the students freely admit there are cliques; but they add that these are not closed.

make-up is not governed either by year or floor, although this is less true of the co-op students who come back as a unit. They are especially close because they are often the only ones on summer terms. What about the introverted? Orientation is supposedlv the answer here because as one student remarked, “in the small college it pulls the people out if they are introverted and auiets the brash ones down.” After this period however: the resident is left to his own social devices. The dining room is cited as’an integrative factor because it is small enought that a person cannot be isolated. Interestingly enough it is the “individual” who has the hardest time. It is hard to be different in such complete integration as that of a small community. Another problem is that this concept of community is not realistic enough because of the unnatural segregation of boys and girls in separate buildings. .

Co-ed

residence

sought

A five-year Renison veteran stated that in Holland co-ed residences are so com,mon and so successful that the Dutch were amazed at the erratic behaviour of American co-eds when exposed to them. This was discussed at length and students felt that it would not be too naive to picture a future co-ed plan such as exists in the Philip St. Co-op. Many agreed that while the new the time for such plans is now, residence is being planned. It is felt the resident also is missing something very valuable in being so divorced from the communities of Kitchener-Waterloo. The example of Quebec was cited as the opposite extreme; the colleges have no residences and the students live in the community, focusing its cultural and social activities there. No matter what changes are effected in the residence life of Renison, the real claim to fame is in the field of academics.

However, next year the college will offer a B. A. program in International Studies and one in Social Work. The programs, which in many respects resemble the proposal for the College of Integrated Studies, have a fe-w vital differences. Under the International Studies plan, courses taken would be political and economic geography; contemporary history ; international politics, law and organization; and a language other than English. The social Sciences program would have related courses also. These all will become additional art options and therefore will be credits. In first and second year, additional options are required outside of the program so if a student wishes at any time to opt out he will have first and second year status in a standard program. With these two course programs however there are no departments. All four studies in each are integrated and related to each other weekly. One subject is taken each day and on Friday a panel of the four professors will relate to each other. The instructors work as a team and are responsible to each other. This of course will create problems in priority of subject matter, but it is hoped this will be overcome. Architecture has developed problems in this area already, so faculty has been fore-warned. At present there isn’t any student input, but faculty feel that this will be necessary once the “groundwork” has been done. Faculty feels that since this is a fouryear program, the students will have “plenty of time” to contribute. The religious and social aspects of residence life at Renison bears some comment. Both are of a voluntary nature with the facilities available at request. Dr. Townson, the chaplain, and the small chapel are present for those who feel a religious bent. The chaplain also doubles as an advisor and is greatly respected on both counts. Renisix, the student council, caters primarily to the social needs of the college, and offers movies and dances free of charge. It is said that aside from a nominal student fee, this body operates solely on the proceeds of the pop machines. For those who consider visiting hours important, Renison’s are 8: 00-l : 00 Saturday night and 2: 00-6: 00 Sunday. At this point I will leave you their sieniY to ponder I ficance. -

5 Legitimate medical uses (present and projected) Rare. Sometimes used as a sedative (for tension)

there are so many variables to consider in discussing drugs and drug usage, that it is very difficult ;o make any definite statement about I the effects of the different drugs. One must consider the individual, his reasons, frequency of use, environment, dosage strength, drug purity and the drug itself. As research into drugs and their effects is a relatively new field of experiment and investigation, there is a lack of verifiable information on the acute and chronic effects of drugs. The adjoining chart was compiled by Dr. Nowlis, Director of Drug Education Project (U.S.A.), University of Rochester. This chart consists of the relevant and verified information on drugs. Many of the hypotheses put forth by so-called authorities have beeninvalidated by unbiased research. Certain issues, such as the existence of a link between chromosonal damage and LSD 25 are still unsettled. There are, however, some suspected physiological effects of some drugs that ihould be mentioned. With use of 25 dimothoxy 4 methyl amphetamine (STP) and methadrine (speed), the possibility of decreased neural coordination, kidney damage, cardiac arrest and severe neural overstimulation is high. With chronic use of these two drugs a paranoid schizophrenic psychosis can develop. The slogan “Speed Kills” could be a wise warning to heed, if living is important to you. To take any drug from aspirin to heroin is to introduce foreign material to the system and functions of the body. The risk involved in drug usage is partly in the physiological and psychological reaction to the foreign material which is, of course, dependent primarily upon the individual. \

Chevron staff Marijuana is the flowering tops and leaves of the lndian hemp plant. These flowers contain a resinous sap which is a dark brown substance. This material contains, in turn, a chemical compound named tetrahydrocannabinol. So far so good. Now, it just so happens that an omniscien t God saw fit to have this plant grow. Practically anywhere. There are many more beautiful plants in the world and I for one did wonder if there might not have been some ulterior motive behind its genesis. So, in the spirit of Aristotle, Descartes, Newton and Einstein, decided to experiment. And I discovered the meaning of the words ‘Lo and behold. ‘* Upon further puritanical reflection e.g., too much of a good thing is bad or * what is this going to cost, I decided that I would delve into the collective unconscious for guidance. I should have guessed it. My moral arbitrator, our booze swilling, napalm-loving, ethically bankrupt society, has decreed that incarceration for a period of years in one of our country’s prisons is the price that an individual must pay for this particular I immediately indulgence. Naturally stopped using this poison. But I am curious, fellow. In true scholarly fashion, I decided to research’ this phenomenon. What will follow is the result of two years of study into the pharmacology, of marijuana. I reepidemiology etc., gret the facetious preamble but f felt the need to warn the uncritical reader that there is a definite possibility that he may be conned, as have we all, into accepting as proved, that which is simply not true.

THE WHOS AND HOWS CANNABIS SATIVA, otherwise

. “ .

known as marijuana, grass, pot, etc., is a brown-green leafy material-the dried flowers of the female plants. It resembles some of the more common household herbs used for cooking but has a singular, very distinctive odour. Cannabis indica, or hash, is simply the. resin with which the flowers are coated, coming off in the form of a golden powder when the plants are shaken. It is then heated and pressed into blocks, which darkens the colour. It is to these two substances only that I refer when I speak of cannabis. Marijuana has been used freely by a

large proportion of the world’s population since prehistoric times. It was not prohibited by international agreement until the 1930’s. There now exists a flourishing black market for its worldwide distribution. Quite apart from the worldwide picture, which limitations of time and space prohibit depicting here, there exist the local scenes. Some general things can be said here without fear of individual incrimination. The vast majority of cannabis users in Waterloo are associated with the universities in one capacity or another. That includes students, faculty, and the administration and although I am not aware of any subculture among the caretakers, I would not be surprised to find it. Another group involved in the use of cannabis are the secondary school students. There is a high probability that any cannabis user in this town will be under the age of thirty. Marijuana is most often smoked although practically any method short of osmosis can be used. As long as it gets into the bloodstream. Smoking is the fastest way to ingest it. The marijuana is rolled in two ordinary cigarette papers, the ends twisted together, and smoked. The manner of smoking is not at all like that used in smoking cigarettes, however, The smoke is first taken into the mouth and upper throat and allowed to cool; it is then taken into the lungs in such a manner as to ensure maximum saturation, i.e., using a very deep, protracted breath. The optimal number of people to make this operation efficient is three or four. Marijuana can also be eaten. There are some ingenious fudge recipes around which make its normally bitter taste quite pleasant. It should only be taken on an empty stomach as the presence of food will only slow and weaken its effect. The effect will make itself felt about forty-five minutes. There is also an extremely ingenious device which can be purchased locally called a hookah. This is a pipe which cools the smoke by passing it through cold water,and thence to the smoker. The modern pipe, incidently, was first invented by the ancient arabs in order to facilitate the smoking of hash. MANY DIFFERENT EFFECTS Most experts, of which there are lamentably few, agree on one thing: there occurs a distortion of the sense of time. Time, as conceived of in the occident, ceases to occupy a position of import-

In the same way, secondary school students, by associating with relatively younger university students, are exposed to the social use of the drug. Connections are made and the student may find himself distributing the drug in his highschool. The number of people using the drug is increasing-the deviance is- exploding. If society persistently treats a group of young people as criminals, it is difficult for them not to become criminals. If one thinks of marijuana smoking as a vice, it slants the experience in a negative direction, tending to make the’ activity anti-social. A vicious circle is started driving society and the smoker to a more and more extreme antagonism. If one considers the drug as a stimulant like any other, beneficial if used in moderation under the proper circumstances something to be used for special occasions, the experience is channeled in a positive direction. If one takes as a valid parallel, and many have, the present traffic in marijuana and the liquor prohibition of the 1930’s, it is not a great leap of the imagination to see how our society is alienating a great part of its youth. Accept this if you will-the traffic in marajuana cannot be stopped; it is too pervasive. The relevant question is now-Is cannabis harmful? If it is not then there is hardly any reason for the continued harrassment of its users. IS IT REALLY SAFE? The findings of the LaGuardia Report of the city of New York, 1944 stated that: 1. Smoking marijuana does not lead directly to mental or physical deterior* ation. 2. The habitual smoker knows when to stop, as excessive doses reverse the usually pleasant effects. 3. Marijuana does not lead to addiction (in the medical sense) and while it is naturally habit forming, its withdrawal does not lead to the horrible withdrawal symptoms of the opiates. 4. No deaths have ever been recorded that can be ascribed to marijuana. 5. Marijuana is not a direct causal factor in sexual or criminal misconduct. 6. Juvenile delinquency is not caused by marijuana smoking, although they are sometimes associated. 7. The publicity concerning the catastrophic effects of marijuana smoking in New York is unfounded. 8. It is more of a nuisance than a menace. The psychology department of a near-

by university recently attempted . to procure some cannabis for legitimate research. They were not able to procure permission from the Government. Why? It is a fact that before 1930 cannabis was prescribed by physicians to increase appetite, to buoy up a person’s spirits, and in the treatment of asthma. What recent evidence was dug up to indicate that cannabis was harmful? I have looked and I have found nothing. The worst thing I have heard about cannabis is that it is contraindicated in the case of epileptics because it tends to induce ataxia. You look it up. THE LEGAL SITUATION Marijuana is a proscribed drug under the Narcotics Act of Canada. The maximum sentence for possession is seven years. If intent to traffic can be proved, the maximum penalty is 15 years: The slightest trace of marijuana in a person’s possession is sufficient to incarcerate an individual for the better part of his young adult life.. . .and these are not criminals we are talking about. These are the educated youth of tomorrow, the sons and daughters of some of the most respected citizens of this community. These people will have a criminal record for the rest of their lives. Let me answer the question-“Why is it illegal?“with an answer given to me by a compatriot: “Baby, because it’s anti-establishment. Baby, because it’s anti-booze. Baby, because it’s a tranquilizer and that means antiwar. The economy would collapse because pants wouldn’t fit over absent beer-bellies and the middleclass hates to be caught with its pants down. ” And I say-Where are the simple pleasures of yesterday that Villon talks of? .

-Music-

by Mike Pratt Chevron staff

Those individuals fortunate enough to have secured tickets were able to enjoy on sunday a remarkably fine evening of sixteenth and seventeenth century music as presented by the madrigal singers of the faculty of music, University of Toronto. ?l?he program was sensibly arranged with alternations between chorus, solo, duet and trio renderings. The songs themselves ranged from the flippantly humorous to poignantly serious. Although madrigal singers are certainly uncommon in this century, the beauty of well-trained voices can be appreciated even by listeners unacquainted with this particular mode of music. This transcending by beauty of the superficial restrictions of age and mode was clearly in evidence during the evening.

the choral entertainment, perhaps the readers will be amused by-a traumatic experience inflicted upon myself and the ‘three gentlemen previously mentioned.

Being not unfamiliar with peripeteiae, we made quick repair to the nearby food-services building main entrance.

However, the taste of those gourmands who partook of the meal appears to have been deliberately insulted. The artistic creators of these dishes transcended the restrictions both of gustation and olfaction. There was neither taste nor smell. The person responsible for reaching this culinary nadir of inadequacy should seek employment at the Red Barn--preferably in Nipissing. Although not directly related to

This news appeared for a moment to be too much for either individual to accept: however, they shortly composed themselves and allowed us to enter. All four of us were wearing respectable attire comparable to any other wardrobe there. Unfortunately, our hair is somewhat long. Sorry! One wonders what- trouble the madrigal singers encountered.

The tickets stated that the Laurel Room was the location of the dinner. However, we discovered that the door to the said building was effectively locked.

Immediately on entering, we were accosted by a member of the campus security force who briskly inquired as to our intended purpose. After politely informing him that we were there for the dinner, we discovered that his arms were corralling us out the door. “Sorry boys, but I don’t think there will be any food for you to eat tonight. ” ‘But Sir, the madrigal dinner.’ Then noticing the entrepreneur the guard asked us whether we knew the gentleman. “No, but....” At this juncture, the technical director of the theater, Earl Stieler, entered in to the conversation. “What’s the trouble gentlemen?” “Nothing sir. We are here for the dinner. ” “Well I’m afraid that it will be a square thing. You won’t enjoy it. Anyway all the tickets are sold.” “But Sir, we have tickets.”

The audience’s appreciation extended both to the singers and to the excellent lutanist. The - ._ three gentlemen who shared the table with me, although connoisseurs of electric amplifiers, thoroughly enjoyed the skill of Peter Acker. Indeed, one appeared to be in the throes of a passion which under less formal circumstances would ineluctably have resulted in the mounting of the table and a scream of play on,

Subsidaries like Educational Services Ltd hide the people responsible. and quantity production advantages is primarily responsible for the economic decline of Maclean’s Closer to the student is the undercutting of the advertising market that campus publications usually reap. With unauthorized throwaway items like desk blotters, the local ad market can be decimated. The profits go right off campus into the capitalist conglomerate, and student publications suffer. The Federation of Students narrowly missed being swamped in September by the blotter plot. The federation’s advertising agency learned of the outside group’s work and sent a letter to all its advertisers reminding them that only authorized publications could be distributed on campus. The outside group told advertisers they had guaranteed distribution on campus, although the federation had specifically informed them they did not. The group was threatened

Ever wonder who’s responsible for all the advertising garbage that keeps appearing on campus? The guy who’s ultimately responsible is as elusive as the decision-making process in this university, but it’s not hard to find the last man in the chain that dumps the stuff on campus. Look around and you might find your classmate trying to make a buck-for the capitalist responsible for the junk ads uses individual students as agents. Sometimes the students are paid on a flat-rate for distribution, but are usually given a code number on their own garbage and get a cut on every one returned to the company. Most of the business reply cards and envelopes have different mailing addresses, but the student paper at Simon Fraser, the Peak, did some research and discovered that not only the corporations which sell the junk in question, but also the service companies to which you send the cards and envelopes and all the other subsidiary organizations are part of a complicated conglomerate owned by multimillionaire D. A. Ferguson. As far as the Peak could tell, Ferguson and his network of subsidiaries are exploiting all the universities in Canada. They will often use the name of the university illegally, but it is difficult to sue because of the problems of finding, tracing and connecting the subsidiaries. Ferguson also has some very good friends in high places and seems immune to major legal action. Besides what good businessman on the board of governors is going to go against such a paragon of free enterprise? Besides being an eyesore and a nuisance for cleaning staff, the advertising blitzes can have far-reaching economic effects. Most far-reaching is the plight of the Canadian magazine trying to stay alive amid overwhelming competition from so-called Canadian editions of American magazines. Time, for example, with massive advertising by junk mail, privileged mailing rights

with legal action, but because of their apparent confidence in immunity they produced a blotter anyway and only close watching kept it from being strewn all over campus. An authorized federation blotter was distributed in the bookstore. * * * Slowly the word seems to be spreading, however, and small groups on several campuses are taking steps to stop the flow of junk mail. The simplest method is for large numbers of students to pick up the advertising cards and envelopes as soon as they appear and mail them in with appropriate slogans. This costs the mailing subsidiary business reply postage as well as handling costs. Because the junk mail rarely requests a signature, it is not illegal to fill in phony names for the ‘ship-and-bill’ merchandise. This approach does not meet favor with the university administration because the company or some respected official complains about rowdy, lawbreaking students. However, the phony-name approach is most effective-Time will send subscriptions for a couple of months before realizing the subscriber has no intentions of paying. It’s also a groovy way to get all sorts of things free. Devoted radicals will use their own names, for while they can’t be charged with a crime if they don’t fill in a signature, the capitalists will be sure to file the name with the credit bureau. The prospects for this pursuit are as endless as the piles of junk mail that accumulate on campus and in our mail boxes. Lef t-wingers can feel pleased that they are smashing capitalism in some small way; small-l liberals will be pleased they can do something to save Maclean’s and keep the campus clean; and right-wingers can rub their hands with glee realizing they are exploiting the exploiters-competing with free enterprise trying to get something for free. It may all seem frivolous, but if a significant number on each campus adopt the philosophy of smashing junk advertising for whatever reason, the world will be an infinitesimally better place in any analysis. march

Boogie with canned heat. (London) Combining the Butterfield harmonica, the Cream guitar, and their own original sounding vocals, the Canned Heat have come up with a very original and listennable package. Their style is basically heavy blues with a lot of traditional sounding material thrown in. Starting off with evil Women,one is immediately made aware of the vocal power of the group, The featured song of the album On the road again is amazing. The voice so closely parallels the harmonica part at first, that it is difficult to tell where the singing actually starts. The droning monotone of the guitar strengthens the song as does “Blind Owl” Wilsons harp work. The last three cuts on this side are good examples of the traditional blues style. Twrpentine

Troilus and Cressida Vteroing". This is it, all you cultural pleasure seekers out there! The last really big shew of the season is coming up on March 21,22 and 23. Blackfriars presents Troilws and Cressida by William Shakespeare, an exciting story taking place in the Trojan wars. Blackfriars is composed of members of English 225 and 325, English department, drama classes under the leadership of David Hedges’, who is also directing Troilws and Cressida. Many of the well-known heros depicted by Homer and the ancients, are present in this play. There is

the infamous Helen of Troy, with “The face that launched a thousand ships”, in addition to Paris, Hector, Agamemnon and Priam, King of Troy. Troilws and Cressida is An enigmatic play, neither a comedy nor a tragedy. It contains a good deal of satire and sometimes verges on the obscene. As one critic put it. “A subject with the most respectable literary antecedents has been treated disrespectfully enough to appeal to the sophisticated and the cynical”.

Freedom for people or freedom of the press? This was the choice dictated by Magistrate Darrel Jones when he added $600 in obscenity fines to the $1500 financial noose placed around the neck of Vancouver’s Georgia Straight by Judge C. W. Morrow. For almost two years, the forces of law, order, power and status-quo have been tryin-g to smash the Straight. They,.- have used every legal, quasi-legal and blatantly illegal method at their disposal to stop the paper from publishing. Three of the Straight’s writers are in danger of prison terms, not for rampant violence, but for saying what they believe to be the truth.

Bill Sands is perhaps the most dynamic speaker that we can expect to hear on campus this year: Perhaps our skeptical age group, is wary of hearing personal success _ stories which seem trite and phoney, smacking of a type of Norman Vincent Pealism. But Bill Sands has a real success story. It is ‘not trite and phoney. I am not saying here that Bill had an “I-saw-the-light” experience. He had just clobbered a man in the Jute Mills at San Quentin Prison. While lying on his steel. slab in solitary confinement, only four feet away from The Death Row Section, he began to reflect. At that point he faced two consecutive life. sentences for armed robbei-y in five counties of California; the minimum amount of time he might serve was three years. While Bill was feeling sorryi for himself, Warden C 1i n t o n Duffy came into the cell, initiating the change in Bill’s life;

The rehabilitation motive came from an animal-like instinct for survival. If he didn’t change, Bill would have to serve out his life sentence or, if ‘released on parole, he would inevitably find himself back at Prison. A life of crime to. him was not worth the punishment risked. He enrolled in various courses offered to inmates by the University of California. Among the courses were psychology; philosophy, and comparative religions. Not -interested in obtaining ,a degree, he wished simply to broaden his scholastic knowledge in order to gain a sense of values. During his stay at San Quentin he initiated several reforms in prison life, working closely with Duffy. After three years, Bill was released on’ parole. He served in the Second World War, receiving an award for distinguished service. As a civilian Bill coached an Olympic swimming team in Bom-

bay, worked in the oil fields of Arabia, ran an airline service in Bolivia, ,and set up a dancing school in California. 1 Although financially and socially successful, Bill found that his true interest lay in crime prevention and criminal rehabilitation. He initiated training courses within Kansas State Penitentiary, through which prospective paroles could be taught the basics of living a normal life in. the outside world. He engaged on speaking tours, informing people of the need for crime prevention. Sands has spoken to standingroom only audiences since 1964.

Omond Solandt is a man with a lot of connecgovernment and the military,tionsin industry, and in science, defense and education policy. ln the process he has gained a lot of power and prestige. In October 7968, the University of Waterloo gave him its highest “honor’‘--a doctor of engineering degree. The following feature by Sherry Brydson of the Toronto Varsity delves into one of the accomplishments of Omond Solandt as vicechairman of the Electric Reduction Company (ERCO) of DunnviIIe, Ontario. ERCO’s flouride pollution was the subject of a CBC expose in 1967. A subsequent commission headed by Edward Hall, retired ad-

ministration ern Ontario, CBC.

of the University of ERCO and reprimanded

Westthe

ERCO may have been officially cleared, but in 1969 grave questions are still unanswered. The evidence now available suggests that people could be dying in Dunnville and the Hall Commission could have been a complete whitewash. The Varsity editorial also published here, attempts to analyse the effects of Solandt’s connections in science, defense and educational policy on a far wider scale than ERCO’s actions in Dunnville.

MOND MCKILLOP SOLANDT IS Chancellor of the University of Toronto and has been since april 28, 1965. Since may 29, 1964, Solandt has also been a director of the Electric Reduction Company, the Dunnville fertilizer firm which has been accused of polluting the area with deadly flourides. Two weeks ago, he was asked if there was now any health problem in Dunnville. “The (Hall) commission proved medically there was no damage to humans,” he said. “People in Florida have been exposed to higher concentrations of flourides and +ter 25 years they have shown no symptoms of f louro, “We’re Just a little company-we’re not in the big leagues of pollution,” he said. “We observe what are called ‘Florida standards’ developed where flouride-emitting plants are located next to sensitive citrus groves. We observe the level of 200 pounds per day.” Solandt, who graduated from the U of T medical school in 1938 with the highest marks ever achieved by a graduate, says he has assured himself there is no health menace in Dunnvilie. “No cow actually died from flourosis. Some were sold for beef, which is perfectly acceptable because flouride goes into bones, not into flesh.” Yet Earl Deamude, a Dunnville farmer and chairman of t,he Moulton-Sherbrooke air pollution committee, says he lost his entire herd in 1965 and has been afraid to buy new stock. “I lost them (the Aberdeen-Angus cattle he had been planning to breed for show purposes). They were affected too much by flouride. “The department of agriculture claimed it didn’t affect the meat. I paid up to $400 for a young registered heifer. Two years later I had to sell the animal for . $150. ’ ’ Deamude is a cautious man. He doesn’t want to say anything rash. But when I asked him why, when the company says pollution levels are safe, he hasn’t tried to raise more Aberdeen-Angus, he replied: “I had some tests run this summer, and from the results, I wasn’t inclined to bring in any more animals.” Deamude says the cattle population of the area is down considerably from its original high in 1960, before the ERCO plant began operations. ERCO has paid Dunnville area farmers more than $218,000 in crop and livestock damage compensation since 1965, when it was first discovered flouride was poisinging the area. _ “The Dunnville farmers came to us (ERCO) and asked us to shut the plant down,” said Solandt. “They said we were killing their strawberries. “But we asked them whether they wanted to do without their paychecks.” Dunnville farmers whose plants were affected don’t work for ERCO. ERCO employs about 300 persons. With one possible exception all these employees live outside the coneshaped area which is badly affected by ERCO’s emissions. In this area, farmers see their fields yield less and less, see their plants burned and dwarfed, actually taste the poison in the drinking water. Deamude reports that 1968 crops are double 1967 yields. “It seems coincidental that our yields went up this year, when the plant was shut down during the growing season. ”

president cleared

Is Solandt right when he says his company is not a menace to human health? Doctors are cautious on this issue, pointing out that flourosis is very rare. And to this day, no expert in clinical flourosis has conducted an investigation in Dunnville. Dr. Donald Hunter, Britain’s top industrial physician and an expert on flourosis, says three things must be done immediately if flourosis is suspected: clean up the water supply, give all residents in the immediate area intensive tests, and give every 10th resident over a wider area the same tests. The Ontario department of health has not even conducted a second dental survey of area schoolchildreni recommended by the Hall Commission which inquired into Dunnville pollution problems. In fact, the Ontario government does not come out very clean in the Dunnville case. In 1965, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture conducted tests on livestock and crops in the area, discovered flouride levels were far too high, and remained silent. “All we needed was a picture of a crippled cow and the milk industry would have suffered great harm,” said OFA secretary Donald Middleton, in explaining the reason for the decision. In the same year, the Ontario Water Resources Commission ran extensive tests on area water, and also attempted to withold its results. Under pressure from area farmers, who said the water tasted so “hot” it burned the mouth, the OWRC released the figures: half the samples were above the danger level, and in one case a water sample contained 37 ?Z parts per million of flouride. (In a recent United States case, a man died from drinking water which contained 3.5 p.p.m. In Africa, water containing 2.0 p.p.m. caused flourosis symptoms in a number of patients.) Despite claims by ERCO that flouride levels are down, are “better than they were”, residents are still being affected by flourides-or rather, since this has not yet been medically proven-by something causing symsms coinciding with those of flouride poisoning. Ted Boorsma, 37, weighted 145 pounds in 1961. “He never was a sturdy boy, but he seemed pretty healthy then,” says Deamude. “Now he weighs 112 pounds. He has no ambition, he’s not strong. He complains all the time.” Solandt claims there is no danger to human health in the “small” flouride emissions from the ERCO plant. Yet tests run by his company in the late summer of 1968 indidiate that the flouride tolerances in conearea crops are above the tolerances set out in the Federal Food and Drug Act-two parts per million (see illustrations). One man who could help clear up the question of whether Dunnville residents are suffering from flourosis is Detroit physician Georg Waldbott, who has published more than 150 papers on the subject. Waldbott testified before the 1960 Morden Commission hearings which recommended flouridation of Toronto drinking water. He recommended against flouridation on the basis of his findings as an allergist (he has many patients who are allergic to flourides) and although much of his testimony was given in camera. it is evident he clashed with commission member Edward Hall, who was later to chair the 1967-68 Hall Commission.

Waldbott was effectively prevented from testifying before the Hall Commission hearings. He claims his requests for certain laboratory test results were denied him. On the other hand, Hall and Solandt are old friends.. One might question the Ontario government’s propriety in appointing Hall to a commission investigating a friend’s company. “We have always kept up with the Ontario department of health regulations on the subject (of pollution) ,” Solandt said “There are others who have a far worse flouride problem than we do.” Solandt is in a good position to know the national pollution picture, for he is head of the Science Council of Canada, an organization which advises the prime minister on national science policy. In 1968, the SCC had a budget of $300,000. For 1969, it has a budget of $1’300,000. The SCC has numerous sub-committees which study various scientific problems and make recommendations on priorities. Pollution is not a high priority for the SCC. A $100,000,000 intense neutron generator for Chalk River, however, was given an extremely high priority by Solandt’s council. Recent figures indicate air pollution damage alone cost Canadians $1 billion in 1967-about $65 a person. “I am disturbed by the whole question of the morality of allowing a scientist who owns part of a polluting company to make moral and welfare decisions,” says a U of T scientist who prefers to remain anonymous. “I wonder how the government can say his ctillnection with the ERCO does not prejudice Solandt’s scientific objectivity.” In two weeks of research, certain questions have cropped up again and again: there seem to be no answers forthcoming from federal or provincial governments on the subject: l Why has no expert in clinical flourosis conducted a thorough investigation of the Dunnville area residents? l Why did the OFA and the OWRC withold test results from farmers whose water crops and livestock they tested? l Where did all the Dunnville area cattle go? There is evidence some government agency bought numerous animals “for study purposes.” Why? l In the light of ERCO’s own laboratory tests, showing flouride tolerances above those. permitted in the federal Food and Drug Act, why hasn’t the Ontario government prevented Dunnville farmers from selling their produce? l Why was Waldbott prevented from testifying at the Hall Commission last year? l Why did the Hall Commission find it necessary to reprimand the CBC in its report? The farmers in Dunnville are in the same condition now, in 1969, as they were when Air of Death a film on pollution mentioning Dunnville, was made. Why is the government so anxiou% to clear up the flouride problem there? l Was the Hall report a whitewash, as so many claim? l If the Dunnville farmers are not suffering from flourosis, then what is making them so ill? o What is more important, strawberry patches or paychecks? A fertilizer plant or human lives? l Why does the Hall report stress the economic damage caused by attaching stigma to Dunnville crops? Is it better to let people eat poisoned foods than to close one factory? l Why, if Dr. Solandt is so proud of observing ‘Florida standards’ of air pollution, has he not also implemented measures ordered by the Florida board of health-sealing the storage sheds? Why hasn’t the Ontario government followed the Florida example? l Why does the city of Toronto buy 32 tons of flouride a week from ERCO?

F MONO T “Dr. Omond M. Solandt, schblar, indust‘alist, and former Canadian government -oubleshooter, has been named Chancel)r of the University of Toronto.” -Toronto Star, April 28, 1965

N THE STORY FROM which the aabove quotation is taken the Star describes Solandt’s career as “varied”. How right they are. Solandt graduated from the U of T medical school in 1938, and interned in ngland. During world war II, he worked 1 psychological problems of tank per)nnel and eventually joined the Canaan armed forces. He was appointed to the Defense Rerarch Board on act 26, 1946, and became anada’s chief advocate of war research, On november ‘6, 1948, he urged the anadian government to pour more monr into germ warfare research “in an atmpt to eliminate some of the uncertain?S”. In 1951, in London, England, Solrdt revealed the Canadian government as testing poison gases in southern Al!rta. In 1953, he was careful to stress at only animals should be poisoned in sease warfare. (One supposes here that

In 1958, Solandt went to Geneva as the Canadian government’s representative to the East-West talks on policing of nuclear tests. Three days after his return, he said in a speech at McGill University that Canada may need to make “new sacrifices” in maintaining large conventional armed forces if nuclear tests are banned. The thesis was clear:‘ Canada would be unprotected if she observed the ban. Sounds like a country at war, doesn’t it? The tests, he said, should be suspended “as quickly as possible” but “we should be sensible about this... Radiation from this source is not as catastrophic as many people think.” Anybody

In 1967, Solandt was still at it, urging that Canada increase her production of triphibious weapons because it is good for the economy to sell weapons to countries fighting each other. There

This kind of thinking carries over into the Electric Reduction Company’s treatflourosis victims at ment of possible Dunnville, Ont. Solandt is vicechairman of that company.

As an example from California, a U of T skientist explained that if scientists doing research for a pesticide company there on the “good” effects of insecticides should discover tha,t the insecticide causes cancer in mice, “they would find themselves without a qrant.”

Solandt’s public policies as chairman of the Science Council of Canada also lack a certain human element. The SCC recently recommended as top priority items for Canadian government research funds a $100 million intense neutron generator and an $80 million giant telescopemultimillion dollar toys that prime minister Trudeau had the good sense to veto. In an age when Canada suffers losses of $1 billion annually in life and property from air pollution alone, this country’s research appropriations might be better spent studying that. As it was, pollution received a fairly low SCC priority rating. The close link between govern ment and industry, typified by Solandt and his cohorts on the Board of Governors, cre-

We’re not saying we’ve reached this level of educational dishonesty and hypocrisy, this level of corporate control of the university. But the danger exists. Perhaps it is naive to expect that a university’s leaders be devoted to the development of the intellect instead of the economy, to the development of peace rather .than the research for weapons of war. But consider the alternative. For a start you could take a look at the Hippocratic oath printed above, remembering that Dr. Solandt graduated at the top of his class as a medical student.

STARMEN’SSHOP

‘.A2

Well it’s time to wrap it up for another year-the last basket has been hooped and the last puck has been netted. Track shoes have been hung up and swim trunks have been put aside to dry. In general, the jocks have hit the books. What has happened this year? We could talk about the successes and failures of the varsity teams. We could talk about individual performances. We could talk about the chances for next year. But you have read about things like that all year. * Instead, let’s think of what this 4* whole sports thing is all about. Why do we spend thousands of :, dollars each year to support varsity and intramural sports? 4 Is it to provide entertainment 4 A and recreation for the students? Is it to train certain individuals 1 to become so skillfull that they can go on to a lucrative career in + professional sport? Is it to gain prestige for the school in order to make it a more attractive place for sports-minded business men to invest their money? If these are the reasons for maintaining the expensive program, then we don’t need it. Now, let’s consider the above three questions in reverse order. Are sports to gain prestige for the school? Many would answer “sure, partly ’ ’ . But can this really be done only “partly”? A big local business man built a football stadium, but without decent football the stadium is empty. So without fans it is impossible to maintain the place. Result? Organize a jock course to . ensure good football. This is done by recruiting the best highschool talent available. How do you go about doing this? Well, we’ve all seen the big guns from the jock faculty parading around with three or four wideeyed kids, showing them our great facilities: wining and dining them and making fantastic claims about their futures at Uniwat. Certainly it’s not as bad as American practices, but their methods weren’t all that bad in their infancy. What happens when these kids get on campus. 7 Well first, it is made extremely easy for them to get a room in the Village. Some find it extremely easy to get CO-op jobs around town. And, if they’re valuable enough, they on campus but are such soft touches as being washing machine attendant and softball throw-

er. In other words, a sports type receives advantages that other students don’t. A second phase of this striving for superiority shows itself in the physical education program. The powers that be have decided that ours is going to be the best jock department in the land. And as a result we have the most disorganized, ridiculous and difficult course imaginable. The students are given an unrealistic work load and usually seem to write more supps than any other faculty. Now for the second question. Does our athletic program concentrate on the stars? Is it spending our money to cater to individuals to mold them into professional products? It seems that it does. A “good enough” player will be flown to the game if travelling with the team is inconvenient. And if you are good enough you get first crack at the many jobs around the jock building. The second-string player is just that in every way. He sits on the bench and twiddles his thumbs while the stars pull the team along. And the coaches still tell us that winning isn’t everything. The best athletes become the best people at the jock building and they are treated with care, because maybe someday they will be in the NFL and tell the world how great it was to be coached by the Uniwat staff. / * * * Finally, the first question. Most of the jock faculty would stare wide-eyed and innocent in reply, claiming that our $22 is spent for students’ entertainment and recreation. Considering what has been said

so far, one begins to wonder if this is really the motive of university athletes. Sure there are fifty-odd events offered by the intramural department for “entertainment”. Sure its fun to get tanked up and go to a football game for “entertainment.‘: But if so, it is also surely the most expensive entertainment anywhere on campus. We pay athletic fees. . ther we have to buy tickets. If providing entertainment is the athletic department’s purpose, why does so much money have to be made? And as evidenced by the material sent to the Chevron from the ir@amurals, the most important thing to the athletic department seems to be who wins and by how much.

Is this a very reasonable rn0tii.e to instil1 in people: come out and WIN?

The department claims it is providing healthy competition. Does healthy competition involve fights in hockey games and increasing injuries on the football field? If we are competing only for the sake of competitive entertainment, why all the trophies and endless rounds of playoffs and championships? Perhaps it’s time the aims and objectives of the athletic department were reconsidered. For what we need in this world are not more competitive, successoriented p;?ople, but rather people who are aware of their responsibilities to a group, and who will work with the group for its growth and betterment, not to prove that it is in any way superior.

McKegney The OQAA hockey all-stars were announced recently. Paul Laurent of the Blues was chosen to center a line made UP of teammates Steve Monteith and Ward Passi. Bill L’Heureux will share defensive duties with Windsor’s Hank Brand and Uniwat’s Ian McKegney . We should at this time apologize to McKegney. Last week it was printed that he had made the second team. An apology is not in order to Dick Ouderkirk as we believe he should have also been a first team selection. Don Bruner of Windsor was called upon to play goal.

Ouderkirk did however. make th e second team. Other Warriors were Ron Robinson and Ken Laidlaw. Gord Cunningham of the Blues, Barry Poag of Guelph and &lrain Watson of the Blues rounded out the team. ‘There were a few interesting features in this year’s selections. First of all, John Wright, the second leading point getter in the league, was not selected to either of the all-star squads. Other players were also missed. Arlon Popkey and Neil Cotton of our own squad deserved a lot of credit for their’ fine performances throughout the year.

“For the man who wants to save his own life will lose it; but the man who loses his life for my sake will find it. *’

Jesus never minimized the risks. Those who. joined him must regard themselves as without family, without property, without expectation of ‘saving their life’. They are condemned rebels ever on the road to execution, carrying about with them the cross on which they must suffer. No encouragement for the weakling or fainthearted here. No compulsion to enter his service. But those who did so realized the desperate nature of their calling. A few dared to risk all. Their day was much like ours. A common belief in salvation and a kingdom was mixed with materialism -and scepticism, while speculation concerning the coming new age varied widely. Men forgot God. They were too busy eating, drinking, marrying, and profiting. And because the status quo and tradition of the elders was militarily enforced, commerce and religion became void of human feeling. Dehumanization had sucked the vitality and color out of life. Into this he came. Finding the leaders beyond help, Jesus turned to the people, and found his greatest response amongst the peasant stock. He dealt ruthlessly with the separation between the peoples’ beliefs and their way of life, summoning them to the new life of the new age that was to appear at any moment. Demanding complete obedience, rejecting any half-heartedness as unworthy, he moved quickly searching for the few, the few who would serve without compromise. It would be through such men, his companions, that he would call all those who would desire to follow him. Since they would continue his work, they must be men who would live as he lived, died as he died. The choice to follow must be made quickly-the chance came and was gone. (Jesus could be infinitely patient, but he could not tolerate procrastination. ) And so, placing before them the delight of the new age and its present demands, Jesus drew to him a group of strong-minded followers that was to transform the world. They were impulsive impetuous men-men who unhesitatingly leave everything to follow him. These are his companions. Living, walking, working, talking, eating, arguing daily, Jesus had stamped himself upon their mind. These men, who bore his very likeness, with all his power, strode into the world which had forgotten what God was like, to recall them to life as men were capable of living-if they knew God. Indifferent to all the petty cares of men, they tear the blindfold from n men’s eyes so that they might behold the real life and true greatness. It is for them to range far and wide to bring such men into the Company who serve the king, who carry on his work until the day of hisof his kingdom. , They are the commandos in the king’s army, living off the land, carrying the good news into all the world. They are men living in daily readiness for the kind to return and reign. It is this that gives each dayiy its meaning, and their lives their direction. For them, this is the only reality, the only certainty. These are men who dare.

Pete Brillinger, math lecturer and course director for math 132 (introductory computer science) is faced with the problem of an enrollment of about 1200 in math 132. The revolutionary approach used by Brillinger to create a course structure that would allow personal involvement and indivi-dual attention for all these students will not be permitted to continue. Under the present system, math 132 consists of two noncompulsory classes a week, and one two hour lab every two weeks on tuesday or thursday evenings. The labs consist of a one hour test, the other hour being used for the presentation of sample results from the previous test, and for discussing problems. The final exam is optional. The student can write it if he thinks he can better his mark. The overall reaction has been favourable. In a recent survey, the students expressed support for the system. Only about one third will opt to write the final. However, on days when there

is a math 132 lab, the terminal on the second floor of the math building is very busy, so there has been administration pressure to revert to something like the old system. In an interview, Billinger noted that student performance has been maintained at a high level, even though the problems have increased in difficulty as the year has passed. The proposal to alleviate the lineups at the 1620 terminal on tuesday and thursday nights, would be to hold four labs each week and give the students only four problems for each lab, with the intention that tests will be one of these problems. He said that the proposed system would not provide motives for trying more difficult problems. “This is not an academic improvement.” Brillinger stated that 75-90s of the present math 132 students are in favour of keeping the course the way it is. He felt that posting charts and graphs, showing the busy and

slack periods, might help students shift the emphasis from peak periods. “I have no real apprediation of the difficulties that the computing center has.” John C. Wilson, assistant operations director, said that he was sympathetic to the students, but could not comment on the proposed course because he had no real contact with its contents. He saw no advantage in extending the hours of the terminal, and another terminal would cost too- much (he estimated approximately $50,000) while the keypunches would not be able to keep up with two terminals. He noted that peak periods occur between ten o’clock and noon and are acute at three in the afternoon. “The early morning hours and the meal breaks are quite slack in terms of terminal usage. ” He suggested that the timetable committee might spread all computer science courses throughout the day instead of the present practice of morning lectures and afternoon labs.

CORONETSUPER BEE

got

At the meeting of the council of the Graduate Society on tuesday 4 march 1969, the following motion received unanimous support: “Be it resolved that the council of the Graduate Student Society condemn the Machiavellian tactics used by the executive of the Federation of Students in the disposal of Grad House furniture and stereo. ” In the discussion concerning the above motion, it was the opinion of the council that the sales which have occured to date have been conducted in poor faith in regard both to the Graduate Student Society and to the general student body. It was felt essential that, when any federation property is to be disposed of, it be offered up for well-advertised public sale. Setting aside for the moment the interest of the Graduate Student Society in the ex-Grad House furnishings, the council feels that sale of this property to persons who, it cannot be denied, have “inside” interests and information is in no way justifiable, when the equipment was purchased with federation funds, to which all students, with little choice, contribute. We have asked federation president John Bergsma to ensure that such irresponsibility does not occur in the future. DAVE REES-THOMAS secretary, Graduate Society St. Jerome’s it’s u good

false, to go

There were a few statements made by Nancy Murphy in her report on church colleges in the 28 february issue, which were, to put it mildly, a distortion of facts with which I would like to take issue. In the first place, the statement that “there is little variance in thought” certainly does not convey the attitude of the majority of St. Jerome’s College students, for so many of them are no longer content to silently or indifferently accept all the moral and theological tenets of the Catholic Church. The consequence is a wide diversity of ideas, and provided the objections are reasonable, they are granted just consideration by priests and profs alike. The accusation that these .people demand “follow us, ba-ba” is bare-faced lie. Nor is the faculty of St. Jerome’s College arrogant, as the article implies. On the whole, there is a very friendly and harmonious relationship between students and faculty, and the statement that consciousness of their collar on the part of many priests, to a degree, restricts their relationQ Q ship with students, is another bareQ faced lie. Finally, regarding Notre Dame College, I am a day hop, and as do many others, I really appreciate the warm welcome the residents show for us. They would never offer friendship such or hospitality to someone who is “no more than a nodding acquaintance. ” “I sincerely hope Miss Murphy presents a much fairer view of the other church colleges. + Or is this too much to hope b for?

1 Q

I am, therefore, of the strong belief that the desirable social changes demanded by the radicals and desired by the liberals can only be achieved through reasonable discussions and a continuous dialog with all other political groups. The breaking point is near. it’s time to brake a little. Through discussion, all of us will go further together. CLIFF PURDY planning 1

ment reaction to a Jesus Christ in 1969 was very good. In the 28 february column of feedback I was amazed at the people who thought the poster was offensive and a “feeble attempt at humor.” Christ poster he would be

accurate: condemned

Didn’t Christ associate with beggars and criminals? Didn’t he promote radical social change? Didn’t he travel from town to town as a vagrant would, in order to tell people about his “eleventh commandment ? ” (a good replacement for the first ten). Wouldn’t he be condemned in today’s society just as he was in his own day? I would like to congratulate Tom Horsley and members of the Waterloo Student Christian Movement on their letters. CARL WEAVER electircal1A Rudicul goals are correct, but they shouldn’t push! I have been very interested in the political situation on this campus since I came here. I have. attended student council and general meetings, educational debates, read the opinions of others on all sides of the political spectrum, and have had the opportunity to talk to faculty and the acting president Howard Petch.. I have also looked closely at my own position, which I feel is liberal, but f 1 ex i b 1 e into radical or the moderate side, depending on the situation. I agree with most of the radical social goals, feeling strongly for social change toward a better society for all, as soon as possible. but ‘as soon as possible’ does not mean so fast as to burn up the progress with friction. I have looked at the RSM as a force to supply the necessary impetus to bring about a more rapid change for the better in our society. In many cases they have filled this function by getting many apathetic people thinking. At times their pressure has been too strong or their tactics regrettable, causing dissension. Lately however, I feel that the radicals have been applying too much pressure to student council, its president, the student body and the administration, with no other foreseeable result but backlash and anarchy. In some cases the goal is reasonable, but the heated, almost violent debates carried on in the recent general meeting and council meeting have thrown reason out, especially the proposed impeachment of John Bergsma. Perhaps Bergsma could do more or has made some mistakes, but removing him now with the budget and unigov proposal at the critical stage, will serve no function. In fact, I feel it is quite likely that a severe backlash will start splitting the student body not into radical, liberal, moderate and right-wing factions, but into just radical and anti-radical, which would end any hope of reasonable social change. If this happens between students who are liberal in relation to society, what kind of gap is there going to be between the radical here and the moderate society outside. With such a wide gap, the radicals are not likely to achieve their social changes.

Inverted Chevron’s

thinking

typifies

editorial page Last week the Chevron’s editorial page typified the inverted thinking which is so currently characteristic of the Chevron. The editorial cartoon would have it that John Bergsma is taking us for a ride. In fact, his opponents have taken us for a ride. The fare may come to $10,000. Bergsma’s role in the Waterloo sweepstakes was admittedly less than heroic and it is easy to understand the vote of non-confidence in him. This brings me to the second feature of that page which was a criticism of Bergsma’s decision to remain in office. Our attention was drawn to the similarity of Bergsma’s position and that of Brian Iler last fall. What you neglected to point out was the obvious differences in the two positions. Iler was elected by one student body while another one voiced their non-confidence in him. It was natural, then, that Iler should “go to the people” to see if his popular support remained among his new constituents. Bergsma, however, has twice been elected by this same student body. A third election seems a waste of time and money. I was further amused by the cartoon which you lifted without acknowledgement from the february 8 New Yorker magazine. A woman in a large pollution-producing automobile, on observing a factory spewing thick clouds of smoke remarks, “Shouldn’t someone be speaking out about this?” Rather like protesting the bail system by participating in it, don’t you think?

A talk delivered on January 25, 1969, to the Woodsworth Foundation Annual Conference on “The Technological Society” by John Rowntree of York University and Margaret Rowntree of the University of Toron to. MOST DISCUSSIONS OF technology that are a la mode today should be seen as religious rather than analytical. This does not mean that these discussions are analytically worthless; but they are based on the premise that technology stands over and apart from us, like a god with a source of power outside man. And this god is, like all alien gods, the object of cults . . .

Guru

McLuhan

Marshall McLuhan is the most obsequious servant of the new deity, urging us to fall on our faces before him and sing praises to his power. For instance, in War and Peace in the Global Village, are the effect of new he says, “. . . all social changes lives.” This technologies. . .on the order of our sensory technology is a primitive god who demands suffering. But this suffering must not be resisted. It is because new technology necessitates of resistance that “Every a new war.” McLuhan’s god is not rational and Christian. Instead he tends to the mystic formulation of technology as an defined not in conenvironment, all-encompassing crete terms but as an aura. Like Timothy Leary, McLuhan seems to want to be nothing concrete or specific but a guru, teaching reaching his disciples by turning them on. One can almost hear his chant: innovate, amputate, orchestrate, sensate, discorporate.

Jacques

Ellul

McLuhan celebrates technology; Jacques Ellul, on the other hand, outlines its horrors in his book, The Technological Society. Yet, his despairing conclusion is that technique must triumph and that man cannot resist it. This conclusion follows from his initial premises in a narrowly logical way. “Technique,” he says, “has become a reality in itself, self-sufficient, with its special laws and its own determinations.” The first and primary law of technique is that it is or tends to be all-pervasive, not in a loose environmental McLuhanesque way, but by the systematic exclusion of the non-technical. “Technical activity automatically eliminates every non-technical activity or transforms it into technical activity. Technique stifles any effort at spontaneity. “No technique is possible when men are free;” he says, “it is necessary that technique prevail over the human being.” The growth of economic technique has necessarily led to the death of the entrepreneur; political technique has slain liberty; and all techniques of human organization have necessarily become instruments of oppressi on. In this necessary working out of the natural laws of technology, the technicians are thus the contemporary version of the orthodox Catholic priesthood, the agents of God’s (i.e., technology’sj will rather than their own. The motives and goa\s of ihe technicians are irrelevant to the impact of technology, just as the personal morality of the priest is irrelevant to his power to dispense the sacraments.

John

Kenneth

Galbraith

John Kenneth Galbraith is a Puritan. Not the stern Puritanism of Calvin, perhaps, but the superficially and fundamentally anxious Puritanism of complacent Norman Vincent Peale. Galbraith is a Puritan because he combines determinism for the many with free will for the elect. The result may not be logically consistent, but it does provide a justification for elitism. Galbraith’s determinism is, of course, technological determinism, In The New Industrial State he says, “We the servants in thought, as in action, are becoming of the machine we have created to serve us.” He proposes that we free ourselves from this servitude. However, when you turn to his program for overon the machine, it our slavish dependence coming he means not all of us, but a turns out that by “we” very specific elite group that he calls “the educational They are able to improve all our and scientific estate.” lives in the course of seeking their secular salvation. The discontented youth will remain “unfocused and ineffective until. . .leadership is provided.” So all that is needed is a little “positive thinking.” It is not very reassuring to be told that our future depends on the capacity and high social purpose of an elite group that in North America has been distinguished for its timidity and docile conformity. Galbraith’s basic presumption that the character of technology rather of today’s society is the result than of the economy and class structure leads him to dismiss any forces for change that might grow out of economic crisis or class struggle.

of Oz?

So here we are in the technological church of our choice. We can turn on and tune in with McLuhan, submit to the natural law of technology with Ellul, or join the educational and scientific estate and be saved along with Galbraith. Or, as the humanists always have, we can reject dogmas and deities and instead affirm man as more ‘powerful than the gods that he has created. more of himself man attriMarx writes that “The butes to God the less he has left in himself.” How can we convince ourselves-creators-to stop bowing to our creations? First by seeing that technology is the product of the hand and brain of man and is subject to his control; that the destructive effects of second by realizing technology in our society are the result not of technology itself but of who controls it and for what purposes; and third, by seeing that the existing use of technology itself contains the seeds of its own transformation. Those who deify technology do not see that they have built the god in the reflection of their own alienation in capitalist society. They miss the truth that the greater the technical ability

Thus, the god of technology is nothing but another Wizard of Oz. Now one may object-and quite rightly-that if the great god of technology is nothing but a medicine show entrepreneur with a good press agent, then why do there continue to e the evil effects of technology that we all see? Simply because in this society, based as it is on private property and private profit, technology is not used for human ends but to serve capitalist society and to maintain the strength of corporate capital. Since resulting techniques are not used for human ends, they give rise to inhuman results. The tyranny of technology is nothing more than the most visible face of the tyranny of capital, the tyranny of profits, the tyranny of class society.

Mechanization

of Man

A basic contradiction of technological society is that its perpetuation in capitalist hands demands the successful mechanization of man, the triumph of the robot. Yet, while a machine either works or. breaks down, a man has three choices: he can either work, break down, or demand a change. The paradox of the technological society is that the very industry that is dedicated to the mechanization of man- the education industry-is also the industry that will produce the revolutionaries who demand the overthrow of the robot and the human use of human beings. Education is now the process of producing the human capital on which the continued growth of advanced capitalist society depends. It. is a large industry, amounting to more than 61/2’; of the Gross National Product in the U.S. and more than 8% in Canada. The greatest importance of the education industry is that it produces the skilled manpower who are necessary to maintaining technological innovation; it also produces the priests of technology who attempt to keep the people faithful to the myths of the technological deity. The education industry produces human beings in form to fill mechanical social finished mechanized roles. This labor is unquestionably alienating for those who are involved, especially the students. who are both the labor power and the commodity produced. In the contemporary school the aim is to make man a self-correcting cybernetic mechhimself a machine, anism who can bring to his alienated labor an alienated but nonetheless human intelligence and spirit. The tools for producing this human capital output are what Herbert Marcuse appropriately calls “onethought-intellect in the service of the dimensional” staus quo and in opposition to imagination. For instance, economists can only discuss the elimbut never the liberation of man ination of poverty, from economic necessity itself.. Psychologists study the psychological prerequisites to living and working in society as it is, but never the social requiremnents of a liberated psyche. Engineering and the sciences are designed to harness creativity to the needs of the market and the state, not the needs of human beings.

Contradictions d This mechanization of man within the education inrate. However, dustry has gone on at an incredible contradictions in the process have begun to crop up, both in the relation of the education industry to the whole economy and in the relation of the human inputs to the human outputs. The contradictions in the economic functiions of education can be easily understood. The education industry is expected both to absorb economic surplus and to produce highly productive human capital which is

capable of generating even more economic surplus. The surplus absorption function of the education industry is fulfilled by providing investment outlets in the construction of schools, curing unemployment by hiring large numbers of teachers, and disguising even more unemployment by keeping students in the university as unpaid workers in the human capital industry. All of these needs can be filled without particular attention to the content of education or the productivity of the resources invested in it. Men must become as technologically sophisticated as the physical capital with with they work; we must have men who can be technologically creative, as advanced as their machines, and who can adapt themselves to developing technologies. The production of this kind of human capital requires the use of the most efficient educational techniques, the updating of obsolete course material, and the streamjining of teaching methods.

THESE TWO FUNCTIONS of the education industry collide and interfere with each other. bn the one hand, the function of absorbing economic surplus in, for example, a general arts course at a university, not only keeps people out of the labor force for three or four years but also renders a growing number of them permanently unemployable in this technological age, obsolete when they enter the labor force. On the other hand, the task of producing the technological robots that the society really needs is very difficult and is impeded by the surplus absorbing function. All this implies that the rapidly growing surplus absorbing sector of the economy must continue to grow ever more rapidly. The contradiction is such that graduates are obsolete as they enter the labor market or they make someone else obsolete (by 1975 in the United States there will be 3 to 5 million more university graduates than there are graduate-level jobs.)

THE OTHER CONTRADICTION in the education industry can be thought of as a contradiction between the inputs and the output, between the nature of human beings and the mechanization process. The problem is summarized by the radical French writer Andre Gorz: “Out of fear of creating men who. . . would refuse to submit to the discipline of a too narrow task and to the industrial heirarchy, the effort has been made to stunt them from the beginning: they were designed to be competent but limited, active but docile, intelligent but ignorant of anything outside of their function, incapable of having a horizon beyond that*\of their task. In short, they were designed to be specialists.” However, this effort to stunt and limit the labor force enough to keep it docile is doomed. To try to teach ignorance at the same time as knowledge, dependence at the same time as intellectual autonomy even within narrow limits exposes one to the risk of provoking an uprising against these limits. Students are beginning to realize the difference between going into depth as one desires in a particular field and the dehumanizing specialization that divides the work to be done not according to human dimensions but according to the demands of profit. Students are demanding the human use of human beings, a slogan as revolutionary in our time as the demand for a living wage was a century ago.

RETURNING TO OUR original metaphor, the high priests of the technological religions face a serious threat. Their own monasteries are breeding the humanist heresy, providing the intellectual leaders of the new Renaissance that will overthrow them as decisively as the Renaissance dislodged the medieval Church. Their economic sociology is nothing but the sociology of 19th century industrialism worked out fully: the ideology of the benevolence of mischievous ideas such as class struggle. Systems analysis, operations research, input-output analysis, program budgeting all the techniques of modern planning economics have been commissioned by the giant corporations and their friends in government. We will be able to put those techniques to good use, even better use than they did because we will be able to do what is most human and most productive without worrying about whether it is the most profitable to corporations. New educated men will be able to shake the new socialists economic techniques free of the old capitalist social arrangements that are stifling their human use. In conculsion here are two slogans that sum up the authors’ message. First: The radical use of technology requires

The leadership John Bergsma has finally found some people who will make decisions and give this campus some leadership. Not surprisingly this group of people is the Radical Student Movement. Bergsma and his council never did a thing about the library situation. They didn’t even discussit. And when Bergsma heard about the sit-in, he went into consultation with interim administration president Howard Petch, and discussed what could be done about the sit-in, not what could be done about the library situation itself. Bergsma called an executive meeting to condemn it. Bergsma admitted he was un-

emerges

sure of what his position should be but he felt his mandate was clearly to condemn sit-ins. Then, after Bergsma continued to condemn the action to radio, TV and the press, the council de- 1 tided to support the study-in. So the federation president had to abdicate his leadership on the one issue on which he had taken a clear stance. A four-man negotiating team was set up by the executive to take the study-in’s demands to Petch-and three of those federation representatives are members of the Radical Student Movement. Bergsma told the news media , that the study-in was a plot to discredit the council. No one has to plot to discredit Bergsma’s leadership.

The roots of the problem The library problem has three roots: the priorities of the provincial government, the interests of business and industry and the particular financial policies of the university administration. The province used to give capital grants for books and now they don’t. But the operating grants formula was set when books came out of capital and haven’t been amended for the change. As well, the procince is proceeding with building the super library of the not-so-scrapped University of Ontario (in Toronto). Back at home, the proportion out of the operating budget for faculty salaries and library expenditures together has been falling for several years. This is due to bureaucratic and beautification priorities and an attempt to use all the excess operating grants for capital construction. Why? This university has always prided itself on the close relationship it has with business and industry and speaks of its desires to serve them. As a result, deficits were accumulated to get the university going.

But something happened. The businesses and industries that do not tire of praising the work of our administration have never come across with their share of the funds-neither to pay the initial operating deficit nor to contribute meaningfully to the tenth anniversary fund. And now they’re not even hiring our graduates and off-term students. So the administration has had to find the money somewhereand the library was the most flexible part of the budget from their point of view. The provincial government does not consider the library or the quality of nontechnical education a priority, because, while it still helps keep the kiddies off the streets it doesn’t serve Gsiness-who, after all, the government is there to serve-and tends to produce radicals to boot. So the library has not even kept pace with the enrolment, let alone reach adequate proportions. And unless we change people’s priorities it never will. The study-in was a start at getting the priorities changed.

Well, we?e cordoned off the fourth floor, naturally, and the Canadian Militia have been called out to guard the computer as a precautionary measure. Fifteen security people are stationed in and around the building and have been briefed on -the ca.re and feeding of the fire extinguisher. Two carloads of horsemen have been called in to bolster our forces; howiepetch was on radio waterloo to appease the masses. There is a paddy wagon standing bv and, gaud, I hope-something happens. . . .

A slow but sure death Yes it does happen in Canada. Last week’s centerspread on the pollution of our world talked about American examples. SO maybe Canadian readers thought Canada was better? This week’s centerspread puts the issue right in Uniwat’s back yard. The situation is simple and universal-decisions that affect and may destroy our planet are being made by a small group of people who care only about their own financial interests and care nothing for future generations or the rest of the people alive today. Serving as the pawns of this small minority are huge numbers of bureaucrats, scientists, and engineers. In other words-the kind of people trained right here at Uniwat. Our land is being decimated, our water resources are being rapidly depleted, our soil is being

turned unproductive, and the air is being filled with deadly amounts of carbons and other pollutants. Why? Because in the short run it’s profitable for a very few people. Look at this week’s centerspread and you’ll see one example spelled out in full. Omond Solandt, honorary engineering doctorate from Uniwat and all would rather ruin the farm lands of Dunnville than pay for pollution-control equipment. After all, it’s not Solandt who is losing the estimated $1 billion annually in Canadian life and property from air pollution alone. And Solandt wouldn’t care if the world finds itself in an irreversible disintegration of its life resources by the year 2000. He will be dead. The unquestioning Uniwat graduates who serve Solandt and all the solandts of the world won’t be though.
