first summer council meeting. Federation president Tom Patterson savs he wants to see council concentrate on the whole area of student involvement in the decision-making processes within the student union. KUost of the time matters go no further than student council. which is only the representative of the membership. either in the making of decisions or in at-y kind of involvement in the issues.” he said in a working paper sent to council members this week.

Patterson feels that student government can be brought closer to federation members in two ways. One is to deal with issues and activities dents:

that are relevant to stuthe other is to institute

constitutional reforms which would make the poser of the membership more real. “Public discussion is more meaningful to decisions

recall procedures. He suggests that t,he current provision that a referendum called by a portion of the membership

is not binding unless student council agrees that it will be binding should be reviewed. However he adds that open meetings on referendum issues as well as proper timing and publicity should be mandatory. He also recommends that rules be instituted concerning the method of calling extraordinary general meetings, and procedures, quorums and powers of such meetings. Council will also debate a proposal that there be provision for federation members to have items placed on council’s agenda if it has refused to deal with something a significant number wish to see discussed. Patterson’s paper also suggests council investigate establishing recall procedures whereby an individual member of council could be removed from office if his constituency wishes. There would also be set methods for removing the president and in extreme cases the whole council. “The recent motions of nonconfidence

Poli-sci prof Jack Kersell felt that topics which could be covered by this group should be areas of interest to both students and faculty such as teaching improvement. university government and the quality of education. Federation president Tom Patterson brought up the question of whether students and faculty were opponents. or were they people with common interests. Patterson believed that in the long run their basic interests are common, with only a superficial divergence. Further discussion brought forth several added topics to debate such as the benefits and disadvantages of examinations, the format and relevance of the lecture system the inadequate criteria for hiring professors and critiques of graduate-student teachers.

able because of the double standard which it would inevitably set up between students and faculty and because of the possible restrictions on students’ civil liberties. Board of education chairman, Dave Cubberley. reported that the campus committee on student discipline and university regulations was not too receptive to the idea of such a code. After five years of meetings, the committee decided offences should be sent to civil and criminal courts. Patterson felt that “it would only invite dissent, making little difference to radicals but enraging liberal moderates. At the best it is a waste of time. at the worst a cause of useless disorder.” Faculty members were in apparent agreement. The group will meet again july 2 at 4 pm to further their discussion on the quality of education.

affairs.

Wright said last week that Ontario should consider an entirely new financing system for postsecondary education in which individual students, rather than colleges and universities, would get the largest share of the government’s education funds. Students could then purchase the education they want with the loans. He described and supported the concept of an educational opportunity bank whereby students could borrow substantial amounts of money repayable over long periods, perhaps as an income tax surcharge. In his speech to the opening session of a conference of the association of colleges of applied arts and technology of Ontario, Wright said that the present system of financial grants is placing an increasingly heavy burden on taxpayers. Society pays these tremendous costs, he continued, and clearly benefits from the later contributions of those who attend universities and colleges. But those who attend are a privileged minority class who receive individual benefits such as higher incomes. ‘,‘We must reckon with the fact that aspirations for post-secondary education are felt much more strongly whatever propagandizing is done, amongst the middle and upper socio-economic strata. “Our present pattern must be acknowledged as regressive in character: we tax the population at large for benefits that are enjoyed by a minority, and a fairly well-to-do minority at that, ” Wright said. Patterson said in a statement released to the commercial press and Canadian University Press

that “the Conservative government of Ontario is admitting its failure to serve the needs of a// the people in the province.” “Dr. Wright, in effect, is admitting that the present, bursaryloan system has not meaningfully changed the middle-class composition of the university student population. “The workers, who bear the heaviest burden of the present tax system, are still paying to educate the children of the rich.” Patterson states that Wright and the Conservative government have failed to face up to the root problems of democratizing higher education. “Where is there mention of the present regressive tax system, analyzed by the Carter commission, which favors the rich and punishes the poor? Where does Wright address himself to the misuse and misappropriation of the wealth created by the working people of Ontario as described by the Watkins task force on foreign ownership? ” Patterson says the education opportunity bank means students

will be turned into “investment commodities”. “Basically it is an enforced loans system, which offers the invest-now, reap-potential-profitslater philosophy of the middle class. “The working people, who are unwilling and unable to risk the incurring of large debts, will therefore still be discouraged from sending their children to university. ” Patterson feels that students’ patience is wearing thin, especially because of the summer job shortage. “They are not likely to be fooled by schemes such as EOB.” All the aspects of the plan that Wright does not mention must be exposed, according to Patterson, so “the students and working people of Ontario can see that it is not the equitable and democratic financing system for higher education that they deserve.” “The government must stop rationalizing its failures and take the action necessary to meet the real demands of the people of this province,” he concluded.

Dope shortage

this term

As many students will testify, beef isn’t the only consumer good undergoing - -- price increases this summer. The minimal amounts of marijuana and hash available.both on campus and throughout Ontario has caused prices to double within the last month. The has been blamed on tighter RCMP control, large busts at the border, and the offperiod between Mexican crops. One of the more notable side effects of the situation is the rapid increase in usage of chemicalbased drugs. People who in the past primarily concerned themselves with smokeable dope are rapidly being turned on to the abundant supplies

of LSD, speed, and mescaline available most anywhere. The ease with which these them!cals can be synthesized has left them totally ‘unaffected by the scarcity.

Unfortunately, this same simplicity combined with the ease of dealing Chemicals during the . smoke shortage7 has lead to a noticeable decline in quality. Many of the recent batches of acid and mescaline when analized have proved to be heavily laced with strychnine and speed. which are both harmful to the head and body. Until the grass shortage comes to an end, this unpleasant aspect of the drugs will be hard to control.

One of these days, Radio Waterloo’s closed-circuit station is going to emerge from its back room in the campus center to take a place on the radio dial. No application has yet been made, but the station has a few assets going for it. The Canadian radio television commission wants a man with experience behind the manager’s desk, and such is Bruce Steele. He has been with radio for

Furthermore, John Sittler of Waterloo Lutheran has written a thesis supplying evidence that another radio station is needed in this area.

OTTAWA (GINS)-If recent trends continue, the cost of university and college education will rise to equal the whole of the country’s productive ability in 1994, the senate committee on national finances was told yesterday. Estimated at $1.24-billion this year, the cost of post-secondary education has been rising by 20 to 25 percent a year, R.B. Bryce, deputy minister of finance, told the committee. The gross national product-total value of all output in the country-now is running at more than $70billion a year and increasing by 8 to 9 per cent. Bryce said rising expenditures on higher education, together with federal spending on other programs shared with the provinces, are mainly responsible for the growing size of the federal budget. R.A. McLarty, of the finance department, said

to equal senate

that its computers had run “a scare stud-” showing that gross operating expenditures on higher education would catch up with the gross national product by 1994. Bryce hastily added that the growth of education costs appears to be moderating. Nevertheless. parliament will have to decide in the next two years whether it will continue open-handed grants to the provinces for post-secondary education, and in what form. The federal treasury now pays about half the national university and college bill. through grants to the provinces and abatement of federal tax rates. But Ottawa exercises no control on how the money is spent in detail and cannot do so because education is a provincial responsibility. Bryce said Federation

TORONTO (CUP1 )--Rochdale College students, fed up with the financial and operational confusion that has hampered the cooperative institution since it opened a year ago have thrown out their governing council. A new council was elected junes12 on a clean-up platform. John Gordon, executive director of Co-op College Residences Inc: which owns the building in trust, said it was one of the most positive steps that members of the college have ever taken. “The great majority of them are determined to get the building operating the way it should be.” Since the university year ended more than a month ago, occupancy in the 850-bed building on Bloor street has dropped to about onethird of capacity. A general meeting was told june 9 that the college was $70,000 short in its rent for the first year and only $20,000 of this could be collected. The college has also been in a court fight with the city since october 1967 to determine whether it should be granted a tax-exempt

An excess of cheating in last term’s math 132 exams has prompted the computer science department to take action. Every second week, a one hour test is written by approximately 200 students enrolled in the course. The results of these tests are then averaged to obtain a final mark for the students. To discourage student substitution, whereby students were getting advanced and more competent students to write tests for them, a new feature has been introduced. Now each test date. stu-

status as an educational institution. One student faction at the meeting argued that the 18-storey building should be sold and the revenue used to start a new experimental college. But Gordon said there was no thought of selling. He said the college had had one offer but had allowed the option to expire. He said any student residence is going to have financial difficulties during the summer. “We’re looking for short-term financing until the fall when the big money starts rolling in again-many student residences do the same thing. “I’m not suggesting that our occupancy isn’t lower than it should be or that we haven’t had problems in running the place,” Gordon said. “We tried to run the building with kids who in many cases had never been away from _home before. We had problems. “But the action taken in throwing out the council and the concern shown by the students in trying to clear away these problems -1 see this as being all positive.”

,Committee probes council membership Membership of the proposed council to replace the senate and board of governors was the main topic of discussion at the june 12 meeting of the university act committee.

bers of such units in such manner as the members shall determine, subject to the approval of this council and provided that the number of such members shall not be less than seven. ”

Board member Craig Davidson expressed concern over the possibility of a “ballooning” of. university members of council as new ’ faculties and divisions are added.

On the basis of the draft of the act, council membership is projected at 66. In addition to the student and faculty members already mentioned, this would include a chancellor, a president, fifteen external members, five alumni, twelve administration members, two staff representatives, and six from the church colleges.

’ Initially, seven faculty members and seven students will be part of-the expandable group. The non-ballooning membership includes five faculty association and five Federation of Students reps. There is also a possibility of ballooning occurring within the church colleges’ representation and within the administrative group. Operations vicepresident Al Adlington suggested a wording which would permit the governing body to deal with these problems. As applied to faculty membership it would read “one or more faculty members from each academic unit of the university as may be defined or designated as a constituency by this council from time to time, such members to be appointed or elected by the mem-

Davidson noted that- initial external representation on the proposed council would be $22.5 percent, and that “if the act is written in such a way that percentage is going to drop considerably the existing board of governors may hesitate to approve it.” He urged that some provision be made to keep external representation on the council at about onethird of its total membership. This suggestion was approved by several members of the committee.

SCM meet examines male-female Contrary to the ideas held by several in attendance, monday’s Student Christian Movement discussion was not merely about sex and the foreign student, as it. was billed. The topic was used as a drawing card: the chairman Iwao Machida hoped to find out the different roles of women here and abroad and to explore in general male-female relationships. This’ was not accomplished in the first of a series of meetings, as part of the SCM’s summer project concerning foreigli students. However, it became clear that the difficultyforeign students have in meeting Canadian women at Waterloo was not necessarily .common to other campuses. Foreign students also found it difficult to meet any Canadians at all, and to develop friendships with them. No one had done any surveying or research so the ideas and facts were only drawn from each person’s experience. Bill Aird suggested that there was a subtle kind of racism in

roles Canada. The group agreed that there does seem to be a barrier between people from different areas: even Canadians and Americans have misconceptions about each other. The misconceptions regarding Indians and Africans were seen as even greater and perpetrated by the public and secondary schools. It was thought that foreignstudents were shunned because of their imagined primitive origins and background. Another problerii seemed to be the nature of this university-the unequal male-female ratio and the minimal social life. Several of the women present agreed that many of the engineers on campus are not as broadly educated or as interesting people as they could be. Another interested observer noted that university girls who are mainly from the middle class still hold onto Victorian attitudes, and could therefore be somewhat apprehensive about dating foreign students who are generally frank and open.

health

A great deal of controversy has arisen in the last few weeks concerning health services. Head physician Helen Reesor presents her views in fhe following interview. She. began with the history and development of the institution. In 1963, Sid Black, then editor of the Chevron’s predecessor (the Coryphaeus), began campaigning to start health services on campus. In the beginning there was a nurse five days a week and a doctor for a few hours a week. This was paid for by a $5 (now $6) :. health service incidental fee. Within a year this proved inadequate and a doctor was taken on for mornings five days a week. When the new infirmary was opened last year, nurses were hired for seven days a week along with a doctor

five mornings. This was paid for by the $6 incidental and a $10,000 subsidy from the administration. Waterloo is now the only university in Ontario with seven-day a week nursing service. . “The question now is, is this adequate? Do the students feel a full-time doctor is necesri;ary ? ” Reesor asked. A full-time doctor means more money.. An increase in medical care insurance fees would be required. This would allow the doctors to ,work on a fee-for-service basis which would mean two things. The doctors would be paid per visit rather than the present hourly-wage system, and students could choose to go to a doctor downtown anytime. Under this plan, the university’s subsidy could be used to hire a part-time medical director-an MD available every

study shows itudent private apartments

In his student housing survey, Jim Stendebach, a former arts rep, found that the most ideal type of student housing would be an apartment in an apartment building, close to the campus with optional meal service and would be part of the university social scene. The survey, completed in may of this year, polled the opinions of one thousand students. The Federation of Students sponsored this project in order to determine student preferences and future housing needs. The type of housing preferred and whether students were actually occupying their preferred housing or whether they were being forced to accept less suitable accommodations were the main questions of the assignment. Types of housing considered were; the Village. church college residences, co-op residences, accommodation with relatives or parents, rooming or boarding arrangements, apartments in private residences or apartments in private residences or apartment buildings, rented houses, and accomodation in the student’s own Of the six hundred completed questiqnnaires, it was found that some of the dissatisfaction with housing could be corrected by simply moving students to their preferred accomodation, that is, exchanging accomodation. However, there-was an apparent shortage of some types of housing while there was an oversupply of others. There seemed to be a balance in Village rooms &ith an oversupply of church residences and co-op rooms. The greatest abundance was in rented rooms, while apart-

thursday else fbr

ments in apartment buildings were the most difficult to find. The major advantage for this type of housing, it was found, was the freedom afforded by one’s own apartment. In this freedom was included the frgedom to live as the student wished. that is, to have individual responsibility and freedom from constant disturbance from other students. The next most important reasons were convenience and economy. _ When broken down into age groups. it was found that apartments were preferred by the upperclassmen. usually 21 or older. whereas first-year students wanted rooms in the Village as first choice. The Village came in as second choice mainly because of its con-

venient location. meal service and maid service. and because it participates in the university social life. Ideal student housing would be an apartment close to the campus with optional meal service and would be part of the university as far as the social scene goes. It was recommended that student housing be in the form of special apartment buildings. These furnished apartments would be comprised of three or four small. single bedrooms similar to those at the Village. and would also include a living room. kitchen. bath and dining area. and would hold a four-month lease. Contained in the building would be a restaurant. offering meal service on a monthly or daily basis.

IVonstructure

continues

This summer a council chaired by associate Arts dean Jack Gray is trying to establish a new program to be called integrated studies. The program will be unstructured-that is, students and faculty will choose the curriculum and students won’t enrol1 in regular classes or take regular exams unless they want to. Instead, participants in the program will determine their own evaluation procedures. There are ncr predetermined admissions criteria. A student will be accepted on the basis of a personal interview and possibly a written essay. He will have to convince the council that he will accept the major responsibility for his education.

Only one unit is forseen for next year. This will consist of six faculty members and 60 to ‘75 students. Once established. students will have a voice in the appointment of resource personnel. however three of the six faculty members for the first unit have already been chosen. They are: John Graya well known Canadian playwright and one-time associate editor of Maclean’s magazine : Ken Rowea Waterloo math prof: and Alice Keller who has a PhD in philosophy. In the words of chairman Gray. “the concept sounds revolutionary until you realize that this was the original concept of’ the uni- _ versity” .

afternoon for a couple of hours to handle administration, emergencies’ and complaints. The necessary increase in insurance fees amounts to approximately $10, briqging it to $23. Reesor also discussed the cost of drugs. She said that if a bulk supply of the cheapest penecillin and other common drugs was acquired they could be dispensed to the students for a small fee or even free of charge. As an example Reesor said that at a drugstore 36 phenolbutazone would cost $3.50, while she can buy them for eight dollars a thousand. However, such a service would require a clerk to package the pills which would require more money, Reesor suggested a 50-cent increase in the incidental fee would be sufficient. Such a program would take six months to instigate.

Reesor defined the infirmary as a “hold-over area for patients who don’t require the adjunct care (i.e. oxygen I of a regular hospital. Our health-service fee pays not for a hospital but rather for a first aid station and the infirmary should therefore be considered as such.” When questioned about the desirability of an on-campus psychiatrist. Reesor said it would be nice but there are neither the funds ndr the psychiatrists available. The Kitchener-Waterloo area itself is understaffed. “The way things are now. there will be little change in the present health services. The students must decide if the present setup is adequate. If they consider it inadequate. they must agree to accept the ensuing increased costs. The decision is theirs.” concluded Rcesor. friday

Montr.euI hippie keep it in courts by Ronald

Lebel

Globe and Mail reporter

MONTREAL-A police crackdown on an underground newspaper here has turned into a Franz Kafka episode that could drag through the Quebec courts for years. Nearly every week it seems the newspaper’s hippie editor, Paul Kirby, puts on his straight suit and tie, combs his bushy hair and heads for the sessions court, the municipal court or the superior court. Soon, he may also visit the appeal court with one of his three lawyers. Kirby, a 24-year-old native of Vancouver and the editor of Logos, faces up to-six years’ imprisonment if convicted on three criminal charges relating to earlier issues of his paper. In the past year, Montreal police have seized thousands of copies of Logos (a Greek word meaning thought) and have arrested 24 hippies on charges of selling the newspapers without a permit. The first 11 cases heard in municipal court all ended with convictions and $40 fines. The police followed that up with two obscenity charges against Kirby, both arising from the same issue. They apparently objected to a cover photo of a nude ICyear-old girl sweetly holding a tiny cop in her hand. “They have been controlling my mind since last may,” Kirby said. “Police still achieve what they wanted to achieve, even if the court battle i’s far from over. “The small newsstands are very uptight about us. We spend twothirds of our energies trying to get them to sell our paper. Most of them won’t touch it, but they refuse to say why.”

sisted that hippies are undesirables because they create law-enforcement problems in city parks, unemployment, drugs, prostitution and weapons. With this controversy in mind, a special issue of Logos last act. I.$ lampooned the Drapeau administration.\ The cover was an imitation of the Gazette’s familiar front page, with the 2 reversed in the Montreal morning newspaper’s name plate. A headline read: Mayor Shot by Dope-Crazed Hippie. The paper was distributed downtown shortly before, the Gazette’s late-night early edition, jolting readers with a mock account of assassination at city hall. The Gazette’s editors were not amused. Police looked up an ob-’ scure section of the criminal code against deliberate&y publishing false news and charged Kirby and Alwin Cader, a 49-year-old hippie who was then a Lagos news vendor. Both were charged under section 166 of the code, which reads: “Every one who willfully publishes a statement, tale or news that he knows is false, and that causes or is likely to cause injury or mischief to a public interest, is guilty of an indictable offense and is liable to imprisonment for two years. ’ ’ After a preliminary hearing last december, they were committed to stand trial. At the trial, three journaliSts appeared for the defense as expert witnesses. Robert Fulford, editor of Saturday Night, Frank B. Walker, editor-in-chief of the Montreal Star, and Peter Desbarats, a CBC public affairs interviewer-host, all agreed that the Mayor Shot issue was not news but an obvious political parody that amounted to legitimate comment. 1 Employees of the Gazette testified that the bogus extra .edition confused many news vendors and readers. Night city editor John Marste’rs said he received dozens of calls that night inquiring about the alleged assassination. 1

Fish has appealed the original 11 cohvictions under bylaw 333, but the Quebec appeal court has not set a hearing date and the police have continued to file similar charges. The last three charges, against Logos editors Brian Clark, Aaron Howard and Charles Costello, all 25, were withdrawn by the crown on april 23 after Fish objected that the complaints omitted the a permit.” key words “without The three had simply beer! charg-. ed with selling copies of Logos on sidewalks near Sir George Williams University and on St. Catherine street.

What rankles the hippies most is that bylaw 2820, passed after bylaw 333, specifically provides that no permit is needed for street sales of newspapers. The police reply that Logos cannot be considered a newspaper, even though it has received second-class mailing privileges from the postoffice department.

Today I have a message for frugal food fiends, impoverished grub gourmets and cheapskates. The all time food bargain of the year is underway at the campus center coffeeshop. Now, buttered toast with jam costs ten cents. A cheese sandwich costs twenty-five cents. On the assumption that the labor required to operate a toaster is approximately equivalent to that of slapping the cheese between two slices of ‘bread, we can then conclude that the slice of cheese costs fifteen cent,s. Note also that a tomato sandwich costs thirty five cents, but a tomato and cheese sandwich costs only forty cents. From this set of observations, we can infer that cheese now costs only five cents a slice. Bargain hunters and Busy-B shoppers will note a discrepancy

here. What I propose is that you contract a friend who would normally buy only a tomato sandwich to buy a tomato and cheese sandwich, while you buy an order of toast. Now, he gives you the cheese, and you give him five cents. You now have a toasted cheese sandwich for fifteen bents. You have saved ten cents. Next, buy your coffee in a tea pot and get two cups for ten cents, and BINGO, you’ve saved another ten cents. Clever shopper! Next with this twenty cents you’ve saved, you buy an order of french fried potatoes, which in effect are free. The only problem with these FREE french fried potatoes is that they cost sixty cents. And wise shoppers know that sixty cents is an awful lot to pay ior french fries, even if they are free. However further inves tiga-

tiori and a sacrifice trial run by a Chevron tepid reporter turned up the following startling results. The cheese in the tomato sandwich is glued to the tomatoes. The coffee and the tea taste the same. The toast tends to dissolve the cheese and it runs onto the floor. The french fries never were worth twenty cents anyway, so in the long run you’ve lost about fifteen cents. That’s still a bargain, considering it only cost sixty cents to do so. I know some of you are baffled by these rudimentary marketing reports but a few readings should make things clear to you. If they don’t, just buy your food. eat it. and miss all the fun. By fun, I mean nausea, uoszt. weight gain and plugged sinuses. Remember, if a restaurant sells bromo. there’s something fishy with the food.

An impohmt

p/by:

by Wayne Smith

This can only be accomplished if the correct play is made at trick one. Declarer must “duck” the K of clubs and when west continues the suit, declarer throws a diamond away on the A of clubs. After drawing two rounds of trumps with the A,K, declarer plays the A,K and a small diamond, ruffing it in his hand. The declarer plays a small trump to the 10 on dummy, this draws the east’s last trump and at the same time provides an entry to the established diamond suit. Two hearts are thrown away on the diamonds. This contract cannot be made with this line of play if the trumps split 4-O or the diamond suit does not split. The alternate line of play is to lead a small heart from the dummy, hoping that east has the ace. East will hold the A less than 50 percent of the time and therefore the first line of play is superior.. The original play at trick one does not endanger the contract but ensures it if the other suits are reasonably split. If the trumps split 4-O or the diamonds are 4-l or 5-0, the contract can still be made (when east has the ace of hearts) by depending on the second line of play mentioned. The “duck” play at trick one simply ensures that west remains on lead and exchanges the diamond loser for a club loser.

Opening lead -K of clubs. North’s raise to 4 spades is based on the fact that he has a very good hand (an A,K and an A) but has made only a simple bid of 2D. In addition, south’s bid of 3s shows a solid spade suit. Declarer must plan his method of play very carefully and very early. He must decide how to play the hand before playing to the first trick from the -dummy. Declarer. decides that he probably has a loser in the diamond suit and therefore must ensure that he does not lose more than two heart tricks. To do this he must establish the diamond suit without allowing east to get on the lead.

Persons who would compose letters as utterly ridiculous as the ones contained in this publication cannot be considered to be bridge players.

1969

(10:?/

10 april 1969, 400 police officers ice officers from the Boston area charged Harvard University hall when ‘some 500 students had barricaded the building. Over 1000 other students were attacked by police in the freshman yard. Nearly 200 were booked, half of them injured. The injuries ranged from a broken back to dislocated shoulders, broken noses and split heads. What were the root causes of the explosion which tore the mask from the face of America’s leading educational institution and forced it to confront its shame? Included in the analysis are several of the key documents which were “liberated” by the students from the president’s files. Time magazine reported that these documents seemed to substantiate some of the students’ allegations, yet Time did not print any of them. * * * Harvard University is the brightest jewel in the crown of higher education in the United States. Only the cream of the crop gets to go to Harvard. The median annual family income of Harvard students is $18,000 or 2l/2 times as great as the national average. The average family income of students at Harvard is close to $37.000. Harvard is a rich man’s school. Admission policy ‘favors sons and daughters of the Harvard alumni. “I hope and believe that Harvard sons will always have a preference as they do now,” said dean Bender in 1958. Alumni Bulletin 1968-which pollAccording to a surveyed 50.913 members, the median income of Harvard graduates is $20.000: 9 percent appear in Who’s Who: 15 percent are in the social register: 23 percent are trustees of nonprofit institutions: 50 percent are registered members of the Republican party: 10 percent run for office at the local level-7 out of 10 get elected. Harvard is one of the socio-educational institutions which reproduces. refines and polishes the ruling class of the U.S. In order to rationalize its elitist nature. Harvard apologists maintain an identity of interest between Harvard and the community” or the “nation”.

No lower-income

housing

No lower-income housing was built. When working-class families lose their homes through inability to’meet rent raises or through demolition, they are forced out of Cambridge. It appears, then, that Harvard’s activities militate against effective rent control laws or low-income housingprograms. Clearly, any attempt to equate Harvard’s interest and “the community” interest is simply a propaganda stunt. Harvard’s affiliated hospitals complex in Roxbury-the black ghetto of Boston-was constructed on the sight of demolished low income houses and tenements, not primarily to meet the needs of the people of the community, but to do research and specialized treatment of relatively affluent patients. “Any business corporation and any other private corporation entity in our society will tend to use certain methods in order to maximize the return on its investment, whether trying to produce profits or health facilities. And these methods often involve taking advantage of the poor, simply because it is easier and cheaper to bid against a poor person...to obtain needed resources at his expense.” (The

as Big Business

Harvard University has an endownment fund of $l,OOO,000,000 invested on the advice of the treasurer by six members of the self-perpetuating corporation which runs the university: The treasurer, George F. Bennett is also president of the State Street Investment Corporation, which “manages” Harvard’s billion-plus $600 million from three mutual funds. Bennett draws $25,000 a year for “advising” on Harvard’s investment. State Street then plays the market with assets of about $1.2 billion. 1 It was Paul Cabot, State Street’s founder, who specified that mutual funds be used first in buying and selling, Hence, the Harvard money can be used to pump up mutual fund Harvard for the community? stock when State street buys; when SSIC sells, it gets rid of mutual stocks at a good price while Harvard sells at low Harvard University is run by the “corporation”--“the principal governing board of the university, subject only to market value.

These men, social scientists, historians and linguistics, showed the government how ignorant it was about foreign affairs, especially as regarded their ally at that time-the Soviet, Union. After the war, some OSS people went back to Harvard; some stayed in Washington to work for the state department or the central intelligence agency; some became government bureaucrats; most of them remained friends. The circle of friendship widened to include a number of new scholars on Russia and China and classified data was exchanged for theorizing. Harvard men play key roles on the council on foreign relations-an extremely prestigous, influential. non-governmental organization involved in foreign policy-making. The council is based in New York City and is composed of corporate executives, former government officials and university administrators-it does not admit women or aliens. administrators-it does not admit women or aliens. In a list of 82 people proposed by John Kennedy for state department appointments, 63 were members of this council. The council serves to bring the three aforementioned groups together. One caucus of the council met to discuss American intelligence with regard to CIA, non-government groups, university students and youth. Such “seminars” sometimes lead to books. For example, all of Henry Kissinger’s works bear the approval of the council. The Marshall plan, NATO, and Chinese relations are all children of this group (N.Y. Times, 13 may 1966 ) . The 1965 president’s report contained the following from the pen of Nathan Pusey: “Much of (the relationship between Harvard and the government) is a continuing and informal process of consultation; it is hard to distinguish between discussions that go on between professors and government officials in a Littauer seminar room, or at a scholarly society meeting, from those that go on where a professor is formally serving as a consultant in a government office. ”

Harvard economists serve the cause of American imperialism well. A number of them are frequent visitors to Vietnam and indeed, seminars are given on Vietnamese economic development back home. Samuel Huntingdon is one such economist. He has made frequent trips to Vietnam for the airforce and has developed a thesis that lauds the high degree of urbanization in Vietnam, thanks to American saturation bombing of the rural aeas! He refers to Vietnamese elections as “games”. If this social science sounds mechanistic and manipulative, is it because the government has corrupted scholars, as the liberals say? We shall soon see that if it is indeed rape. it is willing, and that there is a substantial-but irrelevent- question as to which is the longer line: the government officials outside the door of the academy, or the line of scholars outside government offices.

The international

game

This “center” serves as the market place where liberal scholars and the CIA meet to do business. A confidential memo states, “The center... had its origins in a number of attempts to mobilize the academic and intellectual resources of the Cambridge community around certain problems of the cold war. In the summer of 1950, MIT, which had been engaged for some years for research on behalf of the U.S. military establishments, was asked by the civilian wing of the government to put together a team of the best research minds available to work intensively for three or four months on how to penetrate the iron curtain with ideas. ”

The first-and present-director of the center is Max Milliken, who happens to have been the former assistant director of the CIA-a primary-source of funds for the center. The liberals are easy. The CIA knows how to handle liberal academics. Let them utter and believe the kinds of heresies for which state department researchers are fired-it pays. The CIA has been one of the best agencies in terms of innovative and imaginative research. Another cold war baby was the Russian research center. It represented the convergence of interests between ( 1) the government mania over the Soviet Union ; (2 1 a group of OSS researchers; (3 ) pioneers in the new kremlinology; (4) the Carnegie corporation interest in survey re-

In 1968, the U.S. gave Harvard $63,,942,000 worth of contracts. $12,943,000 was granted directly from the defence establishments. Harvard ranks tenth among the “war” universities. Most people associate war research with the chemists, physicists, engineers and mathematicians and, to be sure, Harvard has its share. However, important strategic contributions have been made by the social sciences. Thomas Schelling, Louis Sohn, Richard Neustadt, Henry Kissinger and Robert Bowie are such social scientists. They deal with American defence strategy-they are crisis managers. They play Dr. Strangelove games of nuclear blackmail ( for real and in their seminars ). Alex Inkelis is one of the leading liberal academic counter-insurgents. Like his colleagues, S.M. Lipset, Irving Ho’wer and Milton Sachs, Inkelis was a trotskyist at City Collge of New York in the 30’s. He still calls himself a socialist. Yet he works for the CIA. Lipsit’s brand of counterinsurgency is aimed at the student movement. In Vietnam, Harvard drops napalm from ab.ove. From below, Harvard s.tudies peasant loyalties in order to smash them.

There are 73 contractors like Abt in Cambridge doing research that amounts to $72,547,000 a year.

worth of fun and games. This includes major weekends, dances, movies, concerts and other clubs and organigarbage-like zations. Acts are all booked at least six months in advance. If we didn’t know the money was available we wouldn’t be able to bring in such people as Dionne Warwich, the Fugs. Gordon Lightfoot. Iron Butterfly. Collins and Judy others who will be coming in this Fear. The acts just wouldn’t consider playing here if they were worried about collecting. All these events which BSA runs are. done on a break-even basis. If we lose. the monev comes out of the other boards. If we make money. it goes into events the auxiliary budget. If there is a surplus in the auxiliary events account after winter weekend. there will be a series of free dances and concerts like the one coming up next week. Maybe some members of the federation feel that all these types of events should be subsidized by the student fees. Well, unfortunately these people are in a very tiny minority. In fact. they represent less than 25 per-

cent of the members of the fed- ) eration who bothered to vote in the january elections. This represents the number of people who voted for my free goodies platform. Now, if you don’t think the federation should subsidize sandbox activities but disagree with the federation’s political priorities, you are once again in a minority, as

You can ask one of the fascist representatives on council to express your views, which I would suggest they are doing already; or else you can move into the realm of extraparliamentary action like demonstrations and political organizations which may lead to your right-wing revolution. The only problem is you seem to enjoy the benefits of the federation: i.e., dances, concerts and the best student newspaper in Canada; but all you want to do is destroy the federation and tear down all the structures that go with it. Yet you offer nothing in the way of a working alternative in its place.

Was the Chevron trying to make as inconspicuous ai possible one of the finest articles it has ever printed? I refer to the letter .’ submitted by Philip English confedercerning non-compulsory ation dues. By not replying to his letter, and by starting it at the bottom of the page, following the letter about Health services, you certailily made the letter inconspicuous. Well. but hardly well enough, done. Chevron! As English says, after clarifying the solutions to the problems that may have arisen regarding Radio Waterloo and clubs on Campus. “The Chevron, of course, would no longer be subsidized and would have to charge. Hence its quality would improve. We need unbiased, accurate, objective reporting on this campus.” Your not replying to English’s letter in many ways proves his arguments. If the Chevron had sound. logical rebuttals for English’s reasoning, the staff would have printed a reply. If the Chevron did not have such rebuttals, they would have started his letter at the bottom of the page. I challenge the Chevron to reprint English’s letter, accompanied by a reply, in the next issue of the Chevron. BILL PHIPPS math 1B

David Greenberg’s letters (23 may and this week). -+ Philip English’s latest letter initiated a discussion (unlike his firs f two which attacked reporting and content in the final and community issues of volume 9-april, 1969. Although the Chevron was mentioned in his letter, if was in the context of a whole restructuring of the Federation of S fuden fs, not an attack on specific Chevron content. His comments about bias have already been replied to twice after his earlier letters. The question of restructuring, reforming or abolishing the federation is one which the Chevron is certainly concerned about. However, the defence of the student union is surely primarily the responsibility of the federa fion executive and co un cil, the president of which has responded to English’s letter this week. This is not to say that the Chevron will not comment on discussion of federa fion any changes, but that such comment will come in signed articles and editorials, or in leffifor~s comments if writers to feedback are attacking Chevron material. As for the positioning of English’s letter, feedback submissions are laid out haphazardly by the printer, with the only concerns being not to run two headlines side by side or finish a letter with only a few lines at the fop of a column. -the

a break-even budget in reality. The attempt to attribute the $12,000 groundhog loss to John Bergsma ignores the fact that the groundhog chairman was appointed very early in the Iler term of office and that when Bergsma took over on december 4, most of the planning was already done. The groundhog chairman did not change just -because there was a change in president. If Patterson does plan to have “free dances offered from the profit of the student activities board”, he should at least tell students council, since the board is responsible to council, not to the president. The external relations chairman said CUS did not have the money or the program and that is why we are paying for research personnel. He mentioned nothing about us being excluded from CUS programs. If Larry Caesar has the $1,000 Biafran relief donation hidden in the external budget I wish he would explain where. The Chevron account that “Iler’s government had accumulated a $15,000 contingency” is more rhetoric. T-he money came in from over-registration. The orientation chairman does not get $300 as the Chevron states but $75 a week starting at the beginning of may and going until one week after orientation week. The Chevron equates **parttime technical assistance” in the Radio Waterloo budget. to “off-term employment” in the Chevron budget. The assistance necessary in the Radio Waterloo budget is because of a CRTC requirement necessary to obtain a broadcasting licence. At bud.get time the “off-term employment” was explained as “netessary to get co-op students more involved in the Chevron b? hiring them on off-terms”. In all. the Chevron reply to rn> letter does fairly well document the point that we are paying too much in salaries. The “mistakes” in reporting facts and figures. do indicate that the Chevron is doing its best to live by the statement of Stewart Saxe (made at the council meeting at which he ,received remuneration for his liquor bill for entertaining CUP editors J: “In my business. you don’t need facts”.

In reply to the letter frdm Philip English in the Chevron of june 9: I believe it is justifiable for an organization to levy a compulsory fee on its members. and that to do so in no way infringes on anyone’s free d om. , The argument that success should depend on one‘s own efforts alone i’s nonsense. Each of us can be successful only within the context of the conditions which all humanity has willingly or unwillingly created and is creating together. Even our individual identities are formed by interaction with others and the environment, and so called ‘*individual conscience” develops from socially inculcated values. We’re all in this together. brothers and sisters. and we all have enormous responsibilities toward one another that I don’t believe anyone has a right to opt out of. In fact. I don’t think it is possible to opt out. Even a re-

cannot

fusal to act or participate has in itself ramifications for other people. Hence when a group of people in a situation find it necessary to organize to further their common interests, no one or few should be permitted to cop out to the detriment of the rest while continuing to remain a part of that group and receiving the benefits of the organization. To do so would be a selfish act and a rejection of human solidaritv. Granted that if an organization were undeinocratic or did not act in the interests of the members. the justice of a compulsory fee would be highly questionable. But the decision to skt up an organ zation representing all the studen ts and empowered to levy fees was made by a referendum, and. hopefully this coming year will produce more ways for students to directly affect council decisions. Discussian of compulsory fees is meaningless unless it flows from consideration of the relevance and democracy of the organization. ’ Mr. English has a very strange idea of democracy-the right to opt out if you don’t like it. I was under the impression that it meant the abi1it.G to work with others to change things. His scheme for student organizations would result in a competitive system in which students would be divided against fellow students in contradiction to their common interests. and bears interesting resemblances to Hitler and Mussolini’s schemes for neutralizing organized opposition and consolidating dictatorial power. Mr. English is correct in cdlling his stand radical. It is the position of the radical right which has been pushed by the Edmund Burke Society on some campuses. and most eloquentl! demonstrated by George Wallace and company last fall.

The organization and unionization of The Engineer as performed. by the members of SPIHQ under the direction of Jean-Guy Rodr,igue-.

R. JEAN-GUY- RODRIGLJE matches rather well the image of what a successful engineer might be doing ..about ten years after graduation. He is a civil engineer at Hvdro-Quebec, makes a good salari, has a staff of about 80 people, ranging from survevors to office clerks, under his direct supervision. Articulate and professional in manner, he spends a good part of his time, since he got his degree from 1’Ecole Polvtechnique in 1960, keeping up with developments in the art, taking courses in computer technology or in operations research. He is also the president. of one of North America’s first engineers’ union the five-year-old Syndicat professionnel des ingenieurs de l’Hvdro-Quebec. . SPIHQ, with two other unions of engineers working for the city of Montreal and the Quebec government, is a full-fledged union in every sense of the word. It engages in collective bargaining for all its members and it has -been through two hardfought strikes. It is affiliated with Quebec’s confederation of ‘national trade unions1 (CNTU) one of the most aggressive in North America. This represents a radical break with the usual concept of the practicing engineer as a highly-trained professional and very much his own man, much more involved with management than with workers, whose status and function in the productive process almost seems to take him out of ordinary employer-employee relationships. We asked Rodrigue how the unionizing of engineers came about, and how this all squared with the question of,, professionalism. “I’m convinced that basically it is the result of an important new phenomenon, accelerating in recent years, in the big corporations and the civil service. What has been happening is that the largest of these -Bell, Northern Electric. Hydro-Quebec-ark more and more employing engineers by the hundreds, rather than by dozens. “The employee no longer has his salary, or even general terms of employment and some other matters, settled by his immediate bosses in the engineering department, for the simple reason that his engineering bosses no longer have the power to do so. These matters are decided from the personnel department, outside of engineering altogether. “For instance, the personnel directors of about 30 of the largest employers of

86 the Chevron

engineers in Quebec meet together every year-clandestinely, of course, to fix the starting salaries for engineering graduates. “The days are gone when the myth prevailed of the practicing employee engineer as his own man. Under these conditions, the engineer in our society is a wage-laborer, middle-level, but a wagelaborer nonetheless. “The logical step, for us, was to get together, to act collectively. Everything more or less followed from that. With the dissatisfactions which had been building up, unionizing and joining the CNTU followed very soon on the change in the labor laws.” Of course, there was resistance at first, to the idea of becoming a union member and affiliating with the working classthe strata “below’.‘. But the reality was too,strong to support the old myths. “Take this ‘professionalism’ thing, for Rodrigue explained. “We have instance,” a clause in our contract which protects the engineer who refuses to sign a document or carry out a task for professional reasons. He can’t be fired or suffer any reprisals for his actions, because he has the whole union and its collective agreement behind him. Where else does an engineer have this to back him up’? “Many of us were very much struck by Ralph Nader’s revelations about safety design in American automobiles. and what happened afterwards. Nader was a lawyer, not an engineer. Think of what the automobile corporations tried to do to him, and imagine what would have happened if he had been one of their employee engineers. Right now there’s nothing they can do about the kind of things they have to do. “Far from opposing them, unionizing has actually supported ambitions for professionalism.” What happens, we asked, when the engineering student, with his reputation for conservatism and his baggage of ideas of what it’s like to be a practicing engineer, arrives at, say, Hydro-Quebec, and discovers that his fellow employees are unionized? Isn’t there a considerable transition in outlook to undergo? The situation on French-speaking campuses in Quebec is not so very different from that at McGill. -“When they start work a considerable number say ‘no, thanks’ to the union. You know-‘All you have to do is be a good engineer, and you don’t need a uni ion’. “We say, ‘Fine, okay’. After a year or two of experience, their outlook changes, and they start joining. “Engineering students are very naive. They think will graduate and come here and work on interesting engineering problems and use a slide rule X hoursa day, and reap all the status and respect and salaries that are due to their exalted position. They have absolutely no idea of the power relations in a large corporation, of how things are decided, of who controls their productive lives. “But a lot of this has been changing lately. This year, there was much less reluctance on the part of new employees, much less resistance to the idea of a uni/

ion. It is probably due to the growth of the student movement and its effects.” We asked how Rodrigue thought the experience in their own union had affected the attitudes of its members to workers, to the student movement, to politics. “It’s my impression, and I think it’s accurate, that there has been a considerable increase in openness, in sympathy for the labor .movement, and the students’ problems, as a result of our experience. And politics? “Levesque. One hundred percent.”

7‘

A HE FORERUNNER of the union of professional engineers came into existence in 1946, with the formation of the Northern Electric engineering employees association (NEEEA). The association. which signed collective agreements, lasted until 1959. In that year. Northern Electric unilaterally announced that it would refuse to sign any more collective agreements with the NEEEA. The corporation, a manufacturing subsidiary of Bell Telephone, repudiated the union on the grounds that engineers, because they were members of the Corporation of Engineers of Quebec (CEQ). were not subject to the labor code which governs the formation of unions. The CEQ is a body vested by the Quebec government with the power to “establish and maintain.’ the standards of its member engineers, and to confer or withdraw the title of “engineer”. Its essential purpose is, supposedly. the protection of the public interest and of the welfare of its members. Northern Electric claimed that its employees were subject instead to the ethical code of the CEQ. which stated that professionals are not permitted to unionize. In 1960 the NEEEA appealed to the Quebec government, which referred its demand to the CEQ. An instructive lesson in economic and social power followed. President of the CEQ at the time was a certain C.A. Peachy. He was also general manager of Northern Electric. -Needless to say, the CEQ rejected the NEEEA’s demand. The association was decertified, and Northern forced the formation of a new association which, of course, had no bargaining power.

T WAS NOT until the summer of 1963 that the way was cleared for professional unions in Quebec. Jean Marchand, then president of the CNTU, came before the legislature’s committee on industrial relations, which was then studying amendments to the labor code, to insist, succesfully, that salaried professionals be allowed to unionize if they so desired. With Marchand’s intervenion as catalyst, 250 engineers of the city of Montreal decided to form a union under the new law. The CEQ, dominated as-before by managerial engineers, moved quickly to fight the formation of the new union. It presented a memorandum to the-government opposing the accreditation of the union on the ground that,: “The legislative body in creating a corp-

oration such as the one grouping and governing the engineers removes them from the jurisdiction of the labor laws and delegates to the corporation the jurisdiction of the control, the government and the protection of their professional and economic interests. ” The CEQ further opposed the formation of the unions on grounds of “public interest” and “professionalism”. Quebec invited the newly formed “Syndicat professionnel des ingenieurs et cadres de Montreal” (SPICM ) to answer the CEQ. SPICM acknowledged the exclusive rights of the CEQ as far as professional standards were concerned. but not for ‘the economic welfare of its members: the management-oriented CEQ could not possibly negotiate with employers impartially. The increase in the number of cadres” in the giant corporation had become a social fact which could no longer be ignored. and a union structure had become necessary for intellectual as well as manual workers. in order for employee engineers to defend their position. The objections of the CEQ were dismissed by the Lesage government. The ranks of unionized professional engineers soon swelled with the accreditation of the Syndicat professionnel des ingenieurs du gouvernement du Quebec and the Syndicat professionnel des ingenieurs de l’HydroQuebec.

T’

HE ENGINEERING union movement in Quebec is almost entirely confined to the public sector and to frenchspeaking engineers. According to a stud! of the movement bv Universite de Mantreal sociologist Andre St-Amant. the answer is to be found in the ethnic distribution. The private sector is predominantly english-speaking (to the tune of 70 percent); the public sector is mainlp French (90 percent ). St-Amand is less than kind to the english. The anglophone engineer. he says. is not quite so amenable to progressive ideas ( “unionizing of the professional cadres runs parallel to a revolution in society. a revolution where the english are not present” ). The myth of ‘professionalism’ is more strongly ingrained in english-speaking engineers. They are also more timid in the face of authority. given to favoritism in working relations. less willing to challenge their employer. and have a vested interest in preserving the status-quo. This is partly due. according to St-Amand, to his-privileged position in Quebec society. Professional unions. on the other hand. have provided equal opportunity to francophone engineers by instituting competence as the criterion for upward mobility. .Times change. however. and St-Amand’s study is three,vears old. If the specific social‘ conditions of Quebec meant that its public engineers were the first to unionize, the problems of engineers in large corporations. public or private. english or french are basically the same. The union phenomenon is already beginning to take root elsewhere on the cant inent~(rumblings at Ontario Hydra. for inIt is likely to spwad s0111C stance). more.

Are there Canadians who would deprave any individual of the right to refuse to testify against himself? Of the right not to be tried without facing a formal charge? Of the right not to be condemned by hearsay evidence? Of the right, from all of this, not to see a lifegood reputation shattered time’s without due process? Of the right, In simple truth, not to be considered guilty by ,the fact of accusation itself?

These rights, especially the innocence until presumption of judicial proof has been established to the contrary, are not some flimsy fads from an overtaken tradition. They are the heart and guts and life of all our freedoms. This fact did not leap at us from the debates of Parliament. Members of a special -Commons committee voted to give the commislanguages powers to sioner of to give testicompel wttnesses mony that would not be accepted in a court. Members of the justice were more hurt than committee angry when .a police chief refused to tell them’ how or on whose authority his men were invading the privacy of citizens with an arseneavesdropping al of electronic And, in the Senate, equipment. an act was passed that would put the onus on an accused to clear himself of charges of an ill-defined offense involving hate. It is a comfort, though perhaps an illusion, to believe that a mass-

majority of Canadians cherish procedural rights as much as the rights of substance the proposed bill aim specifically to secure. Yet the defenders of equilibrium are few and dwindling: after Mr. Justice C. D. Stewart and former Chief Justice J.C. McRuer, the names of men who keep justice in perspective come slowly to mind. Unless a coherent and authoritative body of opinion adds itself very soon to these lonely Horatios, the bridge of Good Causes will fall to a horde of too-eager, too hasty, above all too self-righteous, partisans of expediency. Already these are bold enough, or insensitive enough, to argue that the precedent of aborted procedure in one law fully justifies its emulation in another. The erosion of liberty’s safeguards has gathered a frightening momentum. No doubt it can be argued that a little erosion, like a little poison, can do much good. But erosion is an absolute -process, not one of compromise. Justice in practice is essentially compromise-a measured accommodation of conflicting interests and competing rights. In short, as its ancient image mirrors it, justice is balance. And justice unbalanced, however benignly, however undeliberately, is but a euphemism for tyranny. -from a Globe and Mail editorial, 13 june 1969.
