lecture,

A new format for staff orientation is being used by personnel officer Dick Knight. The former hour-and-a-half lecture has been found to be not particularly effective and has been replaced by a seminar session. Tuesday’s meeting was attended by only two new staff members and Knight began by asking for their first impressions of the university. Both had been favorably impressed and one commented, “I wish that I had come here nine years ago when I first came to

Canada. Anyone starting here could not help being impressed.” The participants were informed of many facets of the university, from enrolment to fiscal policy. Knight pointed out that staff have use of many university facilities including the library, bookstore, campus center and phys-ed building. The seminar concluded with the classic personnel office comment : “If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your supervisor. ”

CMYW/S to i&k

Over the noise Bales shouted. “We were elected to represent all the people of Ontario and not just those who belong to the trade unions. Therefore we will note your views but we will not be pressured by mass demonstrations. ” Bales said the government is “seeking to create a system of labor relation laws which will. in turn, permit labor management to react to each other with intelligence and reason and with due respect to the public intekest.” Liberal MPP D.M. DeMonte, opposition labor critic, fared little better than Bales. Although he said the Liberals would fight any move to enact the Rand report, the crowd kept up a chorus of boos. He brought derisive laughter when he addressed the crowd as “brothers and sisters. ” NDP member Cliff Pilkey, a former leader of the United Auto Workers in Oshawa, was cheered when he used the same salutation. He pledged the NDP would1 battle any move to enact Rand proposals. A message from David Archer, president of the Ontario Federation of Labor, said. that confrontations like the rally were necessary, but would be meaningless unless followed by effective political action. Grace Hartman, ‘secretary-treasurer of CUPE said that demonstration; such as the one at Queen’; Park are the only way to speak to the government, and cited examples to back her statement. “They don’t understand the quiet dialog we have had with them in the past,” she said. Donald Montgomery, prksident of the Metro Toronto Labor Council, discussed violence, as signs reading “Remember 1919-Winnipeg General Strike” waved in the air. “If the use of strikebreakers was outlawed there would be no picket line violence,” he said. “What’s legal and fair about a company giving a striker’s job to strike breakers? ” Frank Harris from the United Electrical Workers said now that workers from different unions were getting together, it is time not only to stop the imple. mentation of anti-labor recommendations like the Rand report, but to de?and that the government rescind the laws which already restrict worker’s collective bargaining rights. “Right now there are only certain times when we can have a legal strike,” he said. “It’s time we were allowed to strike when we want to.” He said in order to prevent the government from taking away labor’s rights, workers from every union would work together, demonstrate together and, if necessary, they would strike together. Hamilton teamsters’ president Ray Taggart warned that unless labor gets a committment that the Rand,report will be shelved, there will be bigger demonstrations and they won’t be confined to saturdays. At the end of the speeches “Solidarity Forever” was played and the crowd joined in on the choruses.

TORONTO (Staff )-Solidarity among workers is not a thing of the past in Canada, or at least, in Ontario. This fact was clearly demonstrated-on Saturday as 12,000 militant unionists marched from Toronto City Hall to Queen’s Park to demand that the-Rand report on labor relations be rejected by the Ontario government. Workers from every large union ahd from cities all over Ontario took part in the demonstration. They carried signs with slogans such as “Defeat Rand Now”, “Bury the Rand Report”, “A Bill of Rights for Labor”, and “No Police State Wanted Here”. Students from many Ontario universities, including about a dozen Waterloo members of the Indust-, rial Workers of the World took part in the march to show their support for workers’ interests against those of the corporation owners. The rally was sponsored’ by tile Toronto and Hamilton building and construction trades councils to disuade the government from enacting any of the recommendations which many unions feel will destroy the effectiveness of Ontario unions in collective bargaining. The report by the late Ivan Rand contained- recommendations for regulating labor conflict. It proposed establishing an industrial tribunal to control picketing activities and to arbitrate longdrawn-out disputes. The Rand proposals would also make unions liable to suits in courts, require votes on the continuation of strikes at the request of one striking employee, and permit the government to prohibit or terminate strikes in industries, businesses or services that it designates as essential. The crowd cheered union leaders who condemned the report from the legislature steps, and then booed and jeered labor minister Dalton Bales as he struggled through a seven-page speech outlining the government’s position. Early speakers hailed the show of solidarity as the coming of a new age in union strength in Ontario. Representatives from such disparate groups as the militant United Electrical Workers and-the more moderate Canadian Union of Public Employees marched side by side. When Bales was introduced the crowd began booing and shouting and waving signs and clenched fists. He tried in a paternal manner to quiet the crowd, but without success. After several union leaders pleaded for quiet, Bales began his address by telling the 12,000 present “I find it difficult to understand the purpose of this demonstration.” This destroyed any chance that Bales might have had of being listened to, as the angry crowd booed and shouted “Go home” throughout the rest of his speech. Despite the fact that everything he said incensed the crowd more, Bales contjnued his speech to the end.

. The following is a portion of a speech by David Archer, president of the Ontario Federation of Labor, to a human rights conference in Toronto may 24. Archer attacked the recent judgment of Justice C.D. Stewart in which he commented that the Ontario Human Rights Commission in his opinion is improperly constituted because it functions as a judicial body. _ Justice Stewart ordered that the human rights eommission had no right to inquire into charges of racial discrimination by a landlord because his house did not have the kind of units that are covered by the OHRC. Since the. functions of the commission are judicial in nature they should be exercised by a court and lot an administrative tribunal, he said. by David

Archer

This conference has been called for the purpose If continuing and extending labor’s interest in hunan rights. The existence of the labor committee for human ights with a fulltime executive secretary which n-edates the Ontario Human Rights Commission ittests labor’s interest to the cause of human broherhood. We have tried to establish relationship with minority and ethnic groups in the communit: n order that discrimination on account of race, creed n- color would be eliminated. While we believe that we did this because of our lelief that working men are brothers. we also realzed that any division between us on such issues ould be used by those opposed to us to divide and veaken us in the economic struggle. There have been some suggestions lately that nions have lost their idealism. Some go so far as o say that if you want to see the real progressives. o to the Bay Street boardrooms or Wall Street off2es.Of course it is easy to be for fair accommodation egislation if you are sitting on a $lOO,OOO-up property hat the underprivileged minority could never hope

to attain ; or to-be for fair employment practices where discriminatory practices would never interfere with your board chairmanship; but how many black persons are on hour board of directors, how many poor people do you count as neighbours. I think those people who are victims of discrimination would be well to look at their saviors and ask how much have the social group that they represented given to the human rights cause. individually and collectively. Perhaps this would be a good place to look at the attitude of the >establishment as exemplified by their most stout defenders and most effective ‘mouthpiece, the courts of this country.

BONN, Ma>- 19-The editorial ar staff of West Germany’s biggest re illustrated weekly. Stern, won sweeping powers today in the runbc ning of the magazine. including jo the right to determine the editordi in-chief and to maintain the pubhi katbn’s progressive-liberal direcPi tion. e: Under the new arrangement a- tc greed to by the publishers after a strike threat and intensive negoB tiations, the staff must be conCl sulted on any change of ownership t1 and any change of the magaT zine’s format. fl No newsman. the agreement 0 states, can be discharged for his P political leanings and no reporter or editor can be forced to work on 0 an article against his conscience. 0 If he refuses an assignment out li of conviction, no action may be taken against him. The new powers of the editorial staff were invested in a seven-man editorial council to be elected annually or upon petition in secret ballot by Stern’s 165 reporters, editors and photographers. A council majority can retain or dismiss an editor-in-chief against the wishes of the publisher. By petition of 30 editorial employees. a new council election must be held. Any editorial employee may be elected to the council and all employees of more than six months are entitled to vote.for the council’s members. The nine-point agreement, which opens with an affirmation of Sterns political independence and “progressive-liberal” principles, grants the editor-in-chief the power to make personnel changes but only for professional, not political reasons. Changes affecting the deputy editor-in-chief, department heads

Without entering into the controversy about Judge Stewarts’ judgment, let me say one thing about his defenders. the editorial department of the Globe and iMail. Their defence in my opinion contains one fatal flaw, apparent immediately to all trade unionists: that is that courts per se as opposed to boards. commissions or tribunals are the defenders of justice and civil liberties. My experience with courts is that their comprehension of social change is very limited. You are much more likely to get a favorable decision if you can quote a precedent or piecedents going back to the 18th century. In our modern complicated society, and it is not only complicated in a material sense, human relations are also very complicated. modern methods of dealing with those complications are necessary. I do not believe that the courts as they are now constituted as purely legal adjudicators qualify for this role. Boards of experts are absolutely essential if situations in the field of industrial and human relations are to be dealt with expeditiously, fairly and with the least expense to the complainant. To suggest that a poor complainant use lengthy. c,ompPicated and expensive court procedure to redress his or her grievance is ludicrous. It is like Marie Antoinette people of Paris to eat cake.

With the current uproar over the present student loan program, your government of Ontario 3 has devised a new way to get you to borrow money and eventually feed it back to them. It seems they aren‘t satisfied with just screwing you for three or four years-they want life. In an ingenious plan for revision of the student loan program, the government has proposed to turn the student into an investment. This means that any citizen or corporation will be able to invest in a student-give him money for his education in return for 3 percent of his annual salary for life. In other words, universities and colleges will be turned into a sort of “human” stock market.

eluding policemen, prosecutors, judges, lawyers and parents, -1 heartily recommend a recent article by two medical doctors in The New York Times Magazine.

At Boston

University medical school,’ the two doctors. Norman Andrew Weil, took a group which included both users and non-users of marijuana and spent nine weeks watching them get high. It was the first reliable marijuana experiment, using laboratory conditions and human subjects, ever conducted on this continent, a fact which in itself offers a pungent comment on today&harsh enforcement of the laws. The result of their tests were both revealing and amusing. One night, a group-of officials from the federal bureau of narcotics and other government agencies came out to watch the young men getting high on marijuana, something which most of them had never ‘seen before. Without exception, their reaction wasextreme disappointmentdisappointment that nothing was happening. As the marijuana smokers went through various tests without difficulty the audience became restless: the smokers had to reassure their audience that they were indeed thor,oughly stoned. Marijuana mildly increased the heart beat, but not sufficientlv to make the smoker aware of it. The whites of the eyes got red. but there was no effect on breathing, the pupils of the eyes, or on blood sugar level. Their last test, the doctors concluded; “makes it unlikely that marijuana has -any seriously detrimental physical effects in either shortterm or lbng-term usage.” M-arijuana is, they said. “arelatively harmless intoxicant. ” The Boston experiments do not, however, offer an excuse to rush out and legalize marijuana overnight. Nothing in their nine-week test could measure marijuana’s long-term effectson the mind, if any. But in the short term, as the dodtors say. “usual doses of marijuana do not impair a user’s ability to carry out successfully a wide range of tasks of ordinary complexity.” In the pursuit rotor test, as it is called, the smokers were asked to ’ keep a stylus fixed on a small spot on a turntable. Their scores improved after they were high. Most interesting, however, was the apprehension the smokers felt about taking the various tests after they were high: they were afraid the! would fail. “They were delighted to find they could perform so well.” the doctors report, noting that this is exactly the opposite of the sense of-bravado, but actual impairment, that happens with alcohol. Six months after the experiments were over, the nine young men who had never smoked marijuana before were interviewed to see if thev had moved up to “hard” drugs. None had tried any other drug at ail. Only two of the nine had tried marijuana again, and-only on one occasion each. . The B.oston experiments are by no means a final report on marijuana. But the experiments do present a perplexing question for those whose tax money is used in vast amounts to hound young people toward lengthy prison sentences for the possession and distribution of this “relatively harmless intoxicant.” What are we all so worried about? -. -Ron Haggart.

The California state board of education thinks it has come up with a promising, if not very innovative solution. , l Last month, the board voted unanimously to accept a massive “back to the Bible” report to be used as the basis for moral instruction in California‘s public schools. The report warns that “a return to morality is the only

1 thing that will save America from 1 becoming a hedonistic society ready for takeover by the Communists”. The report is critical of the United Nations, the supreme court, and the philosophy of humanism, _ which it calls “a 20th Century synonym for- atheism”. It recommends the training’of teachers in the techniques of moral instruction and suggested navy and marine corps character-building booklets as a model. The report also recommends that the theory of creation described in the Bible’s book of genesis be taught as . equally valid as Darwin’s theory of evolution, this on the assumption that “the theory of evolution has done much to take away from the power of God.” t

DAU TIENG, Vietnam (AP) A United States battalion commander who charged competitive points against platoons losing men in combat says he dropped this part of, the program after learning his men were opposed to it. ’ Lt.-col. James T. Bradley. a 4Oyear-old Korean war veteran from Arlington. Va.. started the competition three weeks ago. He said it was designed to prevent needless casualties among his men. some of whom “just weren’t being alert . ’ ’ Platoons - that -suffered battle casualties lost points. The winning platoons received two or

three days off at a rest centre. One of Bra,dley’s infantrymen who didn’t think much of the contest, especially the points deducted for casualties. wrote home: “The morale . is low enough without a stupid contest that only shows us what little is thought of what we’re already doing. We don’t need to be playing games in a combat zone . . . This contest has , shown us what pawns we are. I wouldn’t like to think that because one of my buddies gets killed it only means we lose points.” Although Bradley stopped de,ducting points for American cas\ ualties, he’s still giving them for kills and captures.

From an interview .with colonel George S. Patton II. from the film library of WABC-TV, New York. Patton speaking of his men: -*Of course they’re the subject of our constant concern because they’re such a magnificent group of fighting men. Their morale is extremely high. They always have a smile. I was at a very kind of sobering thing last night. a memorial servicefor four men in the second squadron who were killed the other dav. one of them being a m’edic, and the place was just packed.

The hypocrisy The folio wing is excerpted from a brief submitted to the Canadian radio and television commission by Radio Waterloo manager Bruce Steele. The CRTC, which ho’lds the licencegranting power for radio and TV stations, is, currently studying all aspects of non-commercial and educative broadcasting. The Federation of Students hopes to get an FM licence for Radio Waterloo ‘as soon as the CRTC has finished its study.

3 enjoyed your show last night. Different. I haven’t heard from the major sponsor vet, but I hope he feels the same wav about it.” ,Familiar line? It is ,to me. Just make sure the sponsor liked the show. But there is that one question that keeps coming up. What about the audience? *Irving’s Esso has a big package on the show now...for snowmobiles. Have you ever been on one? No, eh. Well. read these booklets and do as much ad-libbing as yau can about it. You know, ‘great family fun’. the usual bit. But sell those snowmobiles.” After a while, the hypocrisy of selling to an audience that, hopefully. will blindly accept vour sincerity. becomes extremely base and vile. The program director seems to be a super salesman.. . a person dedicated to two main objectives : (a) keeping the on-air staff from saving or doing anything that would reflect badly on the station’s name: I b ) selling...selling a potential sponsor with facts and figures. selling the announcer on the necessity of a super sales job on the product. and selling the listener through the copy department.

‘*Make-it fast, brief. Newscasts once an hour. Newscasts can be sold easily. Talk less...make more time for commusical singles, ID’s and mercials. spots. Don’t let the listener realize that he only heard seven recordings last hour. “Put on a ‘phone-in’ format show. Phone calls can be kept short, broken up with commercials. You don’t even have to tread new ground. Just give the listener a feeling of participation. Don’t do lengthy analysis. Make interviews short, brief. Don’t give time for the audience to actually form an opinion of the person they are hearing, an opinion of that person’s beliefs. Concentrate on the facts behind the interview, get them out of the way and get the person in question off the air. *‘You have seven seconds to ad-lib between segments. Give the pertinent information and no more. Don’t make the listener think. Feed him. Relax his mind so that he will accept vour messages.“ If there is anv art left in broadcasting in Canada. it is lost to the commercial outlet. the outlet that demands profit for companionship. * * * According to the men who are “in the know”. the average ( ? ) listener dials a radio station for ten-minute grabs at music and information programing. If he wants news and -weather he turns in at the hour for five minutes. L4 question arises out of this belief. Did the listener drive the station to a comnatible format. or did the station dictate this type of sectional. grab listening? 1 think the latter is in fact the true statement.

Present day FM radio turns the listenter into an automat, an automat that can happily predict what will occur next, an automat that will not -be surprised because nothing unusual ever occurs.. If you subtract news. weather and sports, plus whatever meager amount of public affairs broadcasting found presently from the average FM station. the end result is a record player with commercials. I once listened to a Canadian FM radio station for fifty minutes. during which time I heard continuous music.. . no commercial content. no public affairs. no news. sports or weather. not even‘ one word of announcing. This was not at three in the morning: but rather at two in the afternoon. It might be a fine idea. from a corn: mercial angle. to operate such an FM set-up. You save paving announcers. operators. copy writers. In fact. why not just set up a station that consists of transmitter. antenna and an automatic turntable. upon which you could pile five albums. But what is accomplished? LIay the future of FM radio in Can-

ada see the death of such stations. and as far as I can gather. this would see the death of many. if not most, of the present FM formats in Canada.

I would make‘ the following recommendations : Art should be re-introduced into broadcasting in C,anada by the use of FM, because of its potential. The Musak. FM station should be legislatedagainst. In its place. FLM radio could adapt the sound of an informative. educative medium. Public service programs could be made available to the F1I outlet by the establishment of a committee or council for this purpose. At the same time. this council could serve to advance Canadian talent by producing Canadian recordings of music. plays and commentaries. Community public service announcements should be mandatory. and should consume at least an hour of the broadcast day on an FM outlet. The number of non-commercial FM outlets should be increased drastically. and the majority of these outlets should I be granted to educational institutes. Entertainment on F>I radio should be. to a large degree educational. The music should not be the same as on the AlM dial...it should be fresh. new. different sounds that perhaps disagree with the taste developed by the commercially-oriented listener. The persons announcing should actually say something. give ideas, sound alive and fresh. Talk programs should live and give. not just exist. News should go into depth. FM radio should be an experience in learning. in taking in new things and sounds and ideas.

Some of the information contained in a feedback submission published last week was found to be out of date. The Chevron advertising staff discovered that the minimum wage for student summer work was raised 1 january 1969. The letter “Free ad gimmicks a hoax; jobs won’t even pay rent” stated that the basic minimum wage for students working between 15 m&y and 15 seljtember was 80 cents an hour (70 cents the first mon thl. The provincial government has raised the summer minumums to $1 an hour (and 90 cents the first month). That ls progress. --the lettitor

Where to put His first idea

admin is too

bldg? rude

The last issue of the Chevron reported that some consideration is being given to the matter of where to put the administration building. Aside from the obvious rude idea of where they might put it, I would suggest to those making the decision that they forget, about parking lot D as a location. The University of Waterloo has one of the best looking campuses in the province and it seems to me that locating the admin building in parking lot D would clutter-up our campus unnecessarily. Also I fail to see why interim admin president Petch feels it would be “more convenient” to have the admin building next to the library-I thought parking lot D was put there in order to be convenient. The Chevron reported that “sedepartveral administration merits”. “academic services head Pat Robertson”, and “the president’s council” will be the people to make the decision as to the admin building’s location. I think that if these people were to ask the students at the University of Waterloo where they want the admin building to be constructed, they would find that the original location north of the phys-ed complex would be more popular than parking lot D.

The may 23 Chevron discussed possible K-W Record bias in covering the California grape strike, but introduces its own serious distortion. ’ It claims that the Record printed four major articles on the strike and boycott, summarizes the four. and claims one of them to be company-inspired. However, there was a fifth article, not mentioned by the Chevron. seriously embarrassing the Chevron’s pro-boycott position. This fifth article c,Overs the top half of page 5 of the february 8. 1969 Record. It is written by Congressman Sisk, a leader of the liberal democrats of the U.S. House. He does not oppose the strike. but considers the resulting boycott unjust to small farmers. He states that most of the California table grape production is not by the growers being struck, and almost all the grape farms, accounting for much of the. production, are ,, small (median net income per farm about $3500). The boycott mainly endangers poor farmers who have no savings and are not the targets of the strike. Yet the same grapes can be sold for wine and raisins, which

are not boycotted. This reduces the effect on table grape growers, but the resulting market glut depresses prices and so hurts wine and raisin grape growers. Sisk concludes that the boycott causes much harm to innocent people with little resulting benefit. It seems to me, if this article is accurate, that the big growers are deliberately letting the boycott stretch out in order to destroy the financially weak small farmers. The striking laborers and the small farmers are playing against each other, and the big growers can’t lose. All this raises other serious issues. The Chevron omitted the article most damaging to their position from their supposedly comprehensive survey-either by carelessness or design. -The Chevron seems to support the boycott out of reflex rather than thought; the editors do not appear to feel that the boycott could be a matter of serious debate among nonreactionaries. There <eem to be serious disadvantages to the radical policy of general confrontation, of which boycott is one facet. Sisk is a liberal-I think he refutes the Chevron view ‘that nothing useful and progressive comes from liberals. Finally, this tends to refute the view that the radicals can accurately and objectively determine truth and thus ought to suppress *‘false”- views. See in this respect the Marcuse article in the april 11 Chevron, which seems to call for Communist dictatorshipis this Chevron policy? I think all this says something important-both about the grape boycott and about the Chevron bias. STEPHEN CLODMAN grad app1ie.d math We did indeed “carelessly” miss the article you mentioned. If it made points as important as it should have YOU believe, been submitted earlier. No it doesn’t damage the position taken by the Chevron on the K-W Record’s unfair bias against grapes. Sisk’s article makes it quite clear that the CaSifornia grape pickers n cause is just, and that the boycott is a ligitimate strike weapon. What he bemoans is the unjust way in which the boycott must hurt some of the smaller growers to get the bad WYS. The Record, of course, played up the latter part of his argume/rC in their headline: “GRAPE BOYC’OTT SOUR! ‘The cause’ hits not only the few giant growers, but countless small farmers, many near the poverty level. n* Sisk‘s dilemma is liberalism in the extreme: worrying about a few who may be made poorer in the process of bringing thousands of destitute up to the level of only being poor. The small growers are being screwed anyway by the largeand growing larger-farm corporations. And the large growers control the non-local markets.

In the same way, we support unions Bs they are today as an alternative to no unions at all. The early work of unions probably forced some small operators out of business too. But that’s the price to be paid for getting the women and children out of the mines and giving the working man some sort of life other than as a tired, starving machine working Today *s unions, like the grape boycott, leave much to be desired.

A radical demand is one which builds consciousness of the world around us as we search for a * means of fulfilling that demand.

4-Statement

Statement to President Nixon from Dr. Calvin H. The following communication Plimpton, president-of Amhe’rst College, was made public on M&y 2: The faculty and students of Amherst College have just experienced an Our usual educational activities were reextraordinary two days. discussion and meditation, which have given shape placed by debate, to our beliefs about the nature of higher education and the governance of educational institutions. It is clear that we have much to do to set our own house in order. We are convinced, and have shown during these days, that changes, even fundamental ones, can take place without physical duress. It will require all our care and energy in the months ahead to combine change with continuity, to provide students with a real and regular role in influencing their education and the college’s government, and to honor both intellectual discipline and creativity. We have as a college emerged from these two days with a renewed sense of the urgency and seriousness with which we must attend to our primary purpose. We have also as a college embraced a new sense of urgency of another kind. We believe that we must speak out to make clear that much of the turmoil among young people and among those who are dedicated to humane and reasoned changes will continue. It will continue until you and the other political leaders of our and persistently the massively, country address more effectively, major social and foreign problems of our society. Part of this turmoil in universities derives from the distance separating the American dream from the American reality. Institutions dedicated to the nurture, husbanding, and growth of and to inquiry into basic problems cannot but critical intelligence, c open people’s eyes to the shoddiness of many aspects of our society. In yesterday’s New York Times it is reported that fiv-e officers in your “seemed to agree that the disorder was caused by a small Cabinet minority of students.” Our conviction is that such a view is seriously in error if it is taken to mean that no legitimate and important reasons exist for the anger and sense of impotence felt by many students and faculty.

I refer of course to the brief’s presented on behalf of the university community to provincial secretary Robert Welch on the drinking age and campus pubs. In fact I consider it disgusting that the brainpower. secretarial time and so on that was available was used for such a menial chore. After all the protestations we’ve had about the university being a non-political institution whose role is “the dual one of education and research” not a place to instigate “social change” or “an agent for political reform” (interim administration president Howard Petch in his reply to the RSM brief on hiring and firing 1, we might have hoped for something a little more daring if there was to be an administration breakthrough from the sacred concept of the ivory tower. Really. isn’t attacking the drinking age and coming out for campus pubs a bit like Cassius Clay challenging my YO-year old grandmother? Who’s against those things?-the WCTU, the IODE, the Associated Gospel Churches of Canada, and who else? ‘But maybe it’s a start.

Or the legalization of mariOr the strengthening, rather juana. than the crippling of the labor movement, Boy. the list is endless. isn’t it? But all those things that fill my list just can’t be done. Wouldn’t that imply that the university is critical of society that it would be acting as an agent for social change? You ask how then the University of Waterloo can see its way clear to approving the booze briefs. Who’s it going to hurt? Not very manv people at all. Just those opposed, to alcohol consumption. Who’s it going to benefit? Well, some kids surely. But that is secondary. How about Labatt’s, Canadian Breweries and Seagram’s? And who owns them? It couldn’t be the men on the board of governors and their buddies who make up the economic elite who will benefit from the increased market, could it? It could Then ‘you say‘ what we’ve heard for years from university officials, “How’ can anyone pu$ort to speak for the whole university community on a social issue? ’ ’ I’m afraid I don’t know.

The pervasive and insistent disquiet on many campuses throughout the nation indicates that unrest results, not from a conspiracy by a few, but from a shared sense that the nation has no adequate plans for meeting the crises of our society. To name only one issue of special concern to the students: since the Kerner Commission’s report, there has been no decisive response to its recommendations. We do not say that all the -problems faced by colleges and universities are a reflection of the malaise of the larger society. That is not true. But we do say that until political leadership addresses itself to the major problems of our societythe huge expenditure of national resources for military purposes, the inequities practiced by the present draft system, the critical needs of America’s 23,000,OOO poor, the unequal division of our life on racial issues -until this happens, the concern and energy of those who know the need for change will seek outlets for their frustration. We realize that in writing this letter we have taken the unusual step of speaking publicly for our community on pressing issues of the moment. We do this out of an urgent concern to question the widely held view that university unrest is merely an internal ‘problem, or at most fomented by an outside influence. More, we believe that if political leaders act on this mistaken assumption, their actions will serve only to widen the separations within the university and between the universities and society at large. If, however, this important element in student unrest is understood, it would be possible for you, Mr. President, to redirect youthful energy toward those more idealistic, creative and generous actions which reflect a concern for others. Your influence can provide that hope which encourages those visions to which young men so gladly dedicate themselves, and we will support those efforts. I send this letter to you on behalf of an overwhelming majority of Amherst students, faculty and administration who attended the closing meeting of our days of inquiry tonight. Copies of this letter with the signatures of all those who wish to subscribe will follow as soon as possible.

Briefs

briefs. I didn’t get to voice my approval for any of the members of the drafting committee. I wasn’t informed that I could submit my opinions in a statement to the committee. The university never even told us the committee existed. AMaybe Philip English should get onto this business. It has far more terrible implications than anything the democratically elected student council has done. ( see feedback 1. * * * OK. enough kidding around. The fact is that the University of Waterloo is a political institution. It is. in the terms of the RSM’s reply to Dr. Petch. a body whose “values and objectives are the same as those of the corporations represented on the board of governors.” It is not neutral. It has done research for the U.S: Air Force, but none for the Viet Cong. It trains engineers who get jobs with firms which increase profits by polluting our air and water. but don’t seek to fight pollution. It trains social scientists for personnel positions where they seek to sugar-coat, working conditions, not help alleviate the terrible alienation from work that accompanies technological change. It hands out honorary degrees to capitalists (Eaton, Mirvish, MacLaughlin), not to labor leaders or socialists. and to militarists (Solandt 1, not to pacifists. For the Universitv of .Waterloo to produce a statement like the one on this page from Amherst College is unthinkable.

It’s not that we in Canada don’t havt the problems. They’re here all right if we only let ourselves think abou’ them.

Class is ‘hot dismissed As expected, the commercial press attacked the workers who marched on Queen’s Park last saturday to ask the government to “bury the Rand report.” The Globe and Mail presented a particularly scathing editorial, using such descriptions as “one of the worst displays of raw labor muscle this province has seen.” Now we might expect the commercial press to chastize the labor militants as it has frequently done in the past. Yet the difference this time was that a//-labor, radical and conservative, was lumped together in the attack. This can have only one meaning. Capitalism is up against the wall. The corporate ’ bosses who control the professional press know that unless labor can be effectively smashed, profits are going to fail. Anti-inflationary measures demand that the power of organized labor be severely curtailed. But labor minister Dalton Bales doesn’t come out and say these things. Xn f&t he began his address by- telling those thousands of workers who had come together from all across the province that he couldn’t understand why they were there. Not very convincing. Bales is playing the game called politics, the rules of which are very interesting. In most games, every player begins at the same point. However, in politics some people make the rules and other people have to play by them. When those who feel the rules are rigged against them say that the rules should be made by everybody or even suggest that those -who design the rules should make fairer ones,

the cry for “law and order” is shouted by the politicians. Then it becomes clear just how things really are. There are, in reality, two levels. On the political level we talk about responsible unionism, [freedom of speech, representative government, etc. But the second level is the daily reality of people’s lives. When those workers march, they do so in response to situations encountered in earning a living, stretching their wages to meet spiraling costs-situations they face every day. The Rand report is a threat to their security and the welfare of their families. Workers have given their lives in the past for less. Does the Globe and Mail really think these workers are just out to stir up trouble? What really scares the economic and political elite-and we see this reflected in its press-are the signs of the emergence of class formations, as embodied in the anti-Rand campaign. It could be the beginnings of a movement which grows from the realization by workers that their individual interest is congruent with a class interest and that the only effective organization can be one that is based on class lines. It is certain that economic conditions are going to worsen. As the ruling elite is faced with problems, labor will be forced to bear the brunt of the crisis. To this end, the state must exercise its power to shackle organized labor and neutralize it. When this happened in Germany and Italy it \was called fascism. -What will we call it if, it happens here? \

tainly no better, although the situation Js bad on a smaller scale. Graduating engineers, or technologists as you wish, are concerned with one thing and one thing only, MONEY. Why else go into engineering ? For a broad education? For an understanding of humanity? For a comprehension of society’s needs? If you say yes, take a brief look at your education here at Water1oo* Not only do engineers not understand the social implications of work in the engineering profession, but they don’t give a damn. For example, there is ample evidence to indicate that steel companies produce, as a by-product of their process, hydrogen cyanide. Particularly in the chemical engineering faculty this is common knowledge. Usually this facet of the steel industry is mentioned very casually, :and briefly, with a smirk. Hydrogen cyanide is very lethal, in very small doses. If academics are flippant about this, and similar problems, when they are financially detached, how can we expect any protection from an industrially employed engineer? Meanwhile, instead of tackling these problems, society’s problems, corporations concentrate exclusively on projects to increase their takehome pay.
