resigns,

A growing problem in governing the campus center surfaced last week with the resignation from the campus center board of one of the faculty association’s representatives, physics prof Pim Fitzgerald. _--_____-_-_-__-----------c7 year after liberation pages 6, 7 they won’t admit defeat page I I _-_______________-_--------

Fitzgerald is resigning because he does not like the approach the faculty association is taking in attempting to solve the difficulties of the campus center board.

Faculty association president Jim Ford feels the campus center board’s problems can be solved with two changes : closely defining the management role and providing the board with sufficient budgets to do its job.

Fitzgerald agrees with the second, but said, “I disagree with what is apparently the faculty association’s idea that the federation of students should no longer continue to manage the campus center for the board. I disagree enough with this approach to resign. ’ ’ The current procedure involves the campus center board as the final and independent policymaking body, with the federation of students reponsible for carrying out these policies.

Ford feels this makes the management role hazy. “We have to choose between having the board

campus

in an advisory capacity to the federation of students or having the chain of authority from the independent board clear,” he said, “and it is the latter the faculty association wants to see.”

Fitzgerald believes this is unnecessarily challenging the federation of students and that it will not basically change anything anyway.

“Student management is a good thing as long as they are managing the campus center in the interests of the whole university, ” said Fitzgerald.

Ford replied that he was certainly not trying to bring about any confrontation with the federation. He said that the board has not been able to do what it wants or what it is supposed to The faculty association executive is meeting today to discuss under what conditions the faculty association will continue to participate in the campus center board (the association currently appoints four faculty representatives to the sixteen-member body).

“If there is a confrontation, it will be as much with the administration as the federation,” said Ford. “We can flex’some muscles here and maybe help the board acquire the things it is supposed to have.”

While he disagreed with the faculty association’s approach on

center

board

the management of the board, Fitzgerald said, “The faculty association is prepared to fight very strongly to back up the board. For instance, the campus center is grossly underserviced with janitors.”

Fitzgerald was to have chaired a committee preparing a statement of needs for the campus center to be presented to administration president Howard Petch.

He said the campus center had three main problem areas. l “The university is supposed to be a campus center, but in the view of the majority, particularly faculty members, it is not.” He added it was a selfproving argument.

Fitzgerald feels the solution to this problem involves some counter-propaganda and efforts be made to tone down some of the music prevalent in the campus center and discourage the posttuesday

ing of offensive signs.

“The signs bother a lot of although they don’t people, bother me. l “The outside community’s view of the university because of the campus center worries the administration.

They get worried when political pressure mounts. ” “There are rumors in the community about drugs and teenagers; some may be fact, but it’s a rumor gone wild.”

He proposes counter-propaganda, especially a conspicuous statement that the board does not condone any illegal acts in the campus center or outside it.

Fitzgerald also proposes that admission to the campus center be restricted to university people and their guests only. l “There is an apparent lack of cooperation among parts of the administration-a slowness, deliberate or otherwise, which lhiyersity _,

has helped to cause the situation.

Fitzgerald proposes there be an increase in janitorial staff from the present five -or six to approximately fifteen of which up to half could be students.

-He would also like to see two turnkeys (supervisors) instead of the present one on duty at all times-one in the campus center office and one on rounds in the building.

Furniture currently broken should be replaced with stronger pieces.

The campus center board should have complete budgetary control over all the areas it needs. He feels the federation should continue running the dayto-day operation, but that a specific campus center manager be named who can be responsible to the board.

Fitzgerald also wanted to see the building made more presentable to people touring the campus. of Waterloo,

deplore SW fcdty strike, back Strand BURNABY (CUP)-Over 200 faculty members at Simon Fraser University have voted support for the administration president and deplored the strike action by 700 students and faculty in the department of political science, sociology and anthropology.

Results on four motions in a privately-circulated referendum in the SFU joint-faculty council were announced friday by council chairman L.M. Srivastava, administration vicepresident.

Three motions were passed: 0 A motion endorsing adminpresident Kenneth istration Strand’s request for an investigating committee to be appointed jointly by the Canadian association of university teachers and the association of universities and colleges of Canada: 180 for, 28 against. l A motion commending Strand for his stance in the crisis : 164 for, 37 against, 34 abstentions. l A motion deploring the strike action by PSA: 162 for, 34 against, 33 abstentions.

Defeated was a motion calling for an investigation committee appointed solely by CAUT: 84 for, 120 against, 30 abstentions.

Draft

Only one-third of those eligible voted in the referendum.

Only one-third of those eligible voted in the referendum.

The mail vote was set up after the council had voted to adjourn a meeting October 9 when more than 200 students refused to comply with a ruling by Srivastava that the meeting was closed to students.

Striking students and faculty in 1 PSA supported by student strikes in a number of other departments are demanding that the SFU administration begin negotiations over the removal of a trusteeship from PSA and the re-instatement of professors fired, demoted or placed on probation by the administration.

Nine PSA profs have been suspended by the SFU administration, pending dismissal procedures, for refusing to teach regular classes since the strike began September 24.

The students council at SFU has called for an investigating committee to be appointed by CAUT and the Canadian Union of Students.

CUS has appointed five members to that committee but CAUT said friday that they were still undecided about participating.

wording

The main concern of the university act committee at the present time is the wording of the draft.

At a meeting thursday, operations vicepresident Al Adlington reported to the committee the changes in wording suggested by the steering committee, These changes centered around section 12, which outlines the membership of the proposed council that is to replace the senate and the board of governors.

Chairman Ted Batke, referring to the negligible attendance at a public meeting on the university act draft two weeks ago, stated, “I don’t know whether this constitutes a response.

In a sense, the student body is not moved by what the act says and the act apparently doesn’t perturb anyone.”

Chancellor Ira Needles repeatedly expressed his fear of the member-

concern

ship of the council becoming too large with the growth of the university.

“This is not a static institution,” he stated, “We must keep the council within manageable numbers with the growth of students and faculties.”

Needles was also perturbed at the possibility of the balance of membership between the community at large and those inside the university being destroyed with the growth of the university.

Administration president Howard Petch defended the act, saying, “I don’t think we’ll have these problems as long as we stay on south campus.

There shouldn’t be any problem until we move to north campus in about five years. ” “I like the approach outlined here I (referring to the present draft).

Smaller faculties like physical education, which is smaller than some depart-

of unigov

ments, and new faculties can be lumped together as one constituency for representation on the council.”

Needles countered with, “I can’t imagine a body of 66 refusing to recognize a new faculty to and bring in a dean.”

Discussion then shifted to council members from outside the university.

Referring to the fact that such members would be selected by the council Needles stated, “So the council has the power to decide who constitutes the council. Sounds kind of wishywashy to me.”

Petch then said the council would have to be aware of “outstanding citizens outside the university community” for membership on the council.

Federation of students president Tom Patterson said that members from the community at large should not be allowed to hold positions on

committee the council that would perpetuate their own careers.

This led to discussion on the chairman of the council.

Needles proclaimed, “My concept of a chairman should be a man from outside the university community who has contacts with government and business and little contact with the university.“’ Petch, academic vicepresident Jay Minas, and some of the other members of the committee agreed with his sentiments.

Minas moved that the council have an external chairman.

Petch seconded it, and the motion was carried with only Patterson voting against it.

Adlington, concerned with the wording of the draft, said that he would take a redraft of the act to the steering committee and Batke called for an open meeting on 30 October to discuss the act.

Theft charges

Letter

Cyril Levitt, sociology 4, has been charged with theft and possession of stolen property in connection with an incident September’ 25.

Levitt is alleged to have taken a letter from administration president Howard Petch’s files and read it to a meeting of students outside Petch’s office.

The meeting was discussing the order on campus paper issued by the committee of Ontario university presidents.

In the debate, the subject of military research came up and Petch said that as far as he was con-

laid

cerned, the university was doing research for peaceful purposes.

Several students went into his office to seek proof to the contrary.

Minutes later, Levitt (who was at the microphone) read from a letter addressed to Petch from Philip Pocock, research director of the senate special committee on science DOliCV. A Th;! letter contained peripheral references to weapons programs.

Levitt appeared in Waterloo provincial court yesterday to set a trial date.

“I am innocent of all charges, ” 1 Levitt told the Chevron sunday.

He had to leave that day for a conference at Berkeley and could not be there himself for the entire lecture, but he put on the album !Hair’ to set a mood.

Pot not harmfd: TORONTO (CUP)-Even though he wants the spread of marijuana halted “at all costs,” a highranking RCMP official said thursday that marijuana has no known pathological effects, and actually produces much less violence than alcohol.

Assistant RCMP commissioner J.R.R. Carriere told the commission of inquiry into the nonmedical use of drugs in Toronto Thursday the RC&IP had no medical grounds to oppose marijuana or hashish-only their knowledge that most heroin users start on marijuana.

Carriere’s assertion was chalenged by youths in the audience, and also by dean Ian Campbell of Sir George Williams University, a commission member.

Campbell asked what he meant by stopping illegal drug use “at all cost.” He said it seemed clear the existing mechanisms of control have not worked since drug use is spreading.

The commission of inquiry was set up to report on drug use among the Young and will report to the federal cabinet in six months.

with the campus center?

What happened to the showcase that every kid wanted to show to his parents? What happened to the building that every administrator loved to point to and say, aren’t we good to you? What happened to the expensive, pretty building that every taxpayer winced about when he looked and realized how much it cost?

The answer is quite simple. It was designed to be looked at; built only because of student pressure; and constructed in a manner showing no respect for the working man who paid for it.

The students who fought so hard over the years for adequate lounge and meeting space had a hard enough time getting anything built, so its hard to fault them. They can’t be blamed for a structure that is really just a very large faculty club.

Architects for the building were Shore and Moffat of Toronto, who designed all campus buildings including the phys-ed building, before they were suddenly and mysteriously removed from the administration’s list of approved architects.

The frustrating

eight-year

While the basic design was both poor and expensive, there were several occasions when positive steps to make the best of it could have been taken and were not.

When the campus center and the foodservices building were announced, student representatives protested loudly saying the two facilities should be combined in one central location or at least built in the same area if there had to be two structures.

That protest met inaction, and the prophesied problem exists on a large scale.

‘The campus center’s coffeeshop is operating at beyond capacity and liberation lunch has sprung up to meetan obvious demand.

Food-services manager Bob Mudie is determined to try to attract patrons to the food-services building. In the slack month of august, he closed the campus center coffeeshop and left food-services and the modern-languages coffeeshop open- creating a geographical food problem that led directly to the establishment of liberation lunch. l In the original design of the building, ’ the basement was not definitely laid out. It

Why the campus A year ago on’october ter was “liberated”.

was to have provided a bank, barbershop and postoffice.

The administration was concerned only with the bank because it was a source of revenue. The space was awarded not’on the best price per unit area, but rather on the largest total rent, since the rental was going into the university’s capital fund.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce got the space on the basis of leasing the largest area, although the university could have got more per square foot by leasing a smaller area to a different bank.

The result is one large bank in the middle of the basement, leaving a couple of marginally-useful areas on either side. Proper allocation would have left considerable space for recreational use. l Campus center director Paul Gerster was left in charge of getting a barbershop set up in an allocated space. He never did, and when the campus center board took office, it was one of their first projects.

Because of the commercial nature, it was felt that university policy would put it under the control of the administration’s

The actual liberation consisted only of 75 to 100 students spending the night in the building (that had previously been closing at midnight) and moving campus center director Paul Gerster’s office furniture into the great hall.

The decision to take the action was made in a general meeting that night which was primarily discussing the just-released conservative report on university government.

(That report had advocated tinkering with present structures, but suddenly in january the administration changed its view to the single-tier structure that students on the original committee had proposed.)

After further debate, the meeting voted without opposition to take the symbolic action of occupying the campus center by keeping it open all night and moving the director’s furniture out of his office.

In subsequent negotiations with the administration, it was agreed that the policies for the operation of the campus center should be set independently by a board composed of a majority of students, with faculty, staff and administration representatives and that there would be no director, as day-to-day operating procedures could easily be carried out by existing staff in the federation of students office.

The administration was to continue to provide all regular services such as cleaning; existing commercial operations were to continue under previous control (including food services) ; and the campus center board would be subject to all university policies, present and future.

The administration also agreed to interim control by a subcommittee of the original campus center advisory committee while the new policy was being put into operation. * * * History liberation

In early 1960, students recognized the necessity for a centrally-located lounge and meeting facility.

After some discussion with the administration, the student council asked that tuition fees be raised by $10 a year to provide a fund for the construction of a campus center.

On 24 October 1962, the council donated the accrued $29,730 to the university’s first major fund drive, on the assumption that it would be used to build the needed center.

At that time, the $10 levy was discontin_ ued because it was an unnecessary hardship.

Both the advisory committee and the stl dent council began to agitate for change.

Federation president Briar? Ile was sent a copy of the memo and furthe checks were made with Scott. The federa tion of students published a flyer saying th administration had basically agreed to thei demands.

Speakers at the general meeting expressed frustration over the seeming impossibility of achieving real, needed change.

Administration provost Bill Scott told the meeting that change takes time. He was shortly challenged as whether the slow change is even in the right direction.

The topic shifted as the example of negative change in the governing of the campus center had shown. including federation Several speakers, president Brian Iler, went through the history of the campus center.

August 1968: campus center director Paul Gerster came to work to find the grept hall furniture moved and his office ensemble set in its place. It was apparently done by opponents of his arrogant policies, although the culprits were never apprehended and no keys to the then-locked building were missing., as the university was growing fast and the current student body could never raise enough to build a sufficiently large center.

The administration assured the students the building could be financed by the university with government assistance.

In december 1965, student president Gerry Mueller asked admin president Gerry Hagey when the campus center was going to be built.

Hagey replied that the project was being delayed for an unspecified period because of a lack of funds.

In january, student council decided they would build the center themselves and asked for their money back plus interest.

Administration vicepresident Al Adlington was quoted as saying, “We do not have to give back the $30,000 because we never *made any express commitment as to when we will put the building up. ” Shortly after council’s refused demand for their money back, the administration announced the construction of the math building, at an estimated cost of $6,666,669.

The common platform of candidates for student council that spring was to get the campus center built.

At the same time, the administration was making plans to launch their tenth anniversary fund drive. Council intended to approach local industries and businesses with their problem and ask for contributions for a campus center.

Fearing for the success of their own fund drive, almost the entire board of governors visited Ontario premier John ..@obarts in june 1966 to emphasize the need fog funds to expand the University of Waterioo.

In july of that year, Hagey announced that the campus center would be built. Construction, however, did not start until spring 1967.

In the controversy over simply getting the building built, there was little attention paid to the actual physical structure and who would control it.

The only policy on record is an unanswered statement

by Paul Gerster ) who then was administrative assistant to the student government) and the student council, that the building be run by a board of managers with student, faculty and staff representatives. This was to be a board of the student council, responsible to it in a similar way to the creative-arts board.

This was apparently the accepted concept, but somewhere along the line the ad-! ministration changed - ._ it. ’ On july 1, Gerster was appointed by the administration to the post of director of the campus center and assistant to the provost.

About the same time, Gerster (who was originally hired by the administration for the fledgling student government) was coming under increasing criticism by the officers ‘of the federation of students.

The administration said in, effect that it was their building, to be run for them by Gerster, and there would be a student, faculty and staff committee to advise only.

No further action was taken by either side until the building was ready in march 1968.

Friction immediately set in between the $9000-a-year administrator and the people who were using the building.

Gerster was reluctant to open the building to more than the federation of students office operation because he apparently didn’t want it to get dirty.

However, the Aryan Affairs Commission (the original guerilla theater group on campus which has since faded away) in cooperation with the Chevron that announced their plans, held an unofficial opening that

At this point Hagey took control of the ad ministration’s actions and sent Iler a letter stating they had not agreed to student con trol of the campus center. The administra tion also leafletted the campus with a flyer accusing the federation of unilateral actior and said such moves would have to be ig nored.

“There is no doubt we had acted in gooc faith in publishing our flyer,” said Iler.

Federation vicepresident Tom Patterson said, “They were prepared to hand it over to us not as a matter of principle, but in an attempt to defuse a crisis situatior, Our memo scared them into publicly denying the principle of student control. ” On October 17, the campus center advisory committee unanimously proposed a compromise where the building’s policies would be made by an independent board similar to itself. The committee agreed the position of campus center director was unnecessary and proposed that his duties be carried out by officers of the federation of students.

Hagey received the proposal but refused to decide on it in principle, saying he would have to wait for a meeting of the board of governors.

“This is just a ploy,” said Patterson, “because Hagey has the authority to make such decisions and only take them to the board for ratification.

He usually does so on everything except the matters students ask him to decide on.”

Three days later, at the previously scheduled general meeting on university government, those present voted to liberate the campus center. In subsequent negotiations the administration proved the truth of Patterson’s statement.

A subcommittee chaired

by Iler took control of the campus center. The board of governors approved the creation of the campus center board at its november 14 meeting. Student council elections and other problems delayed appointments for the new board until january, when it held its first meeting. \

A modern re-interpretation of Hamlet, it won the New York critics’ award and the Tony award as the best new play of the 1967-68 season.

LYRIC (124 King street, Kitchener, 742-0911) The wild bunch (ends tomorrow) is a super-violent horse opera that could well be subtitled The dirty dozen goes west.

It took several months to get by the Ontario censors, who were unappreciative of the ebullient sadism which Robert Ryan, William Holden, Ernest Borgnine and company indulge in.

The libertine (starts thursday) stars Catherine Spaak as a rich widow who discovers her late husband’s secret hedonistic playpen.

She experiments with it for a time but eventually finks out to settle down with her true love.

FOX (161 King east, Kitchener, 745-7091) E&y rider- co.ntinues.’

Peter Fonda as captain America wheels around the United States with buddy Dennis Hopper. This is the cool movie of the year with something for everyone-rock music, souped-up motorbikes, drugs and disillusionment-which is probably the reason it is cleaning up at the box-office.

ODEON 312 King west, Kitchener, 742-9169) The battle of Britain is a superproduction about the air war over England in The longest day style. Featuring a host of stars such as Laurence Olivier, Michael Redgrave and Michael Caine, it includes a restored spitfire from good Old Galt, Ontario.

FAIRVIEW (Fairview shopping plaza, Kitchener 578-0600) The unsinkab/e MO//~ Brown and *The impossible years run until thursday.

The former is a musical starring Debbie Reynolds and the latter is a generation-gap comedy with David Niven.

Two excellent but under-rated movies open friday.

The prime of Miss Jean Brodie is notable for the excellent performance of Maggie~ Smith as an English schoolteacher.

In the Ffim-f/am man, George C. Scott plays a smooth-talking confidence man, and Canadian Michael Sarragin >makes his screen debut as Scott’s understudy in crime.

WATERLOO (24 King north, Waterloo, 576-1550) The lion in winter, a costume drama starring Peter O’Toole as Henry 11 and Katherine Hepburn as his wife, Eleanor of Aquitane. This is an over-acted cheapie movie abounding-in bad dialogue and trivial intrigues.

The lady’s not for burning was acted out friday night in the arts. theater.

Acted out, that is, as distinguished from performed.

When a play is performed, the play is the subject of our attention, as we become so involved we seem to forget that acting is actually going on.

But friday night my attention was frequently centred not on the play, but on the actors, acting out the characters (or, rather, trying to act out the characters).

With the exceptions of Hebble Tyson (played by John Heard), whose nose-in-handkerchief sneezes were works of art in themselves, and Matthew Skipps ( James Borrelli), whose drunken cries of “Glory, glory, amen, amen! ” ‘when he learned he was dead drew an enthusiastic ovation from the audience, the rest of the crew could have been very clever robots.

The leading robots, Charles Murphy and Emily Michaud, were programmed to perfection: not a word, line or gesture misplaced.

All that was lacking was the realization that there is more to acting than a mere repetition of memorized words and gesticulations.

The direction was the accomplishment of T.M. Hanfield, and a most laudable job it was, considering the nearly super-human task it must be to get androids to think.

But if the acting of the national players of Washington D.C. was not what we might have hoped the success of Christopher Fry’s play was due to the play itself.

The play is clever in its plot and hilarious in the presentation of its characters, who saturate the dialog with Shakespearian wit, and who, only by the coincidences of good fortune, manage to emerge unscathed.

The near-capacity audience gave suddeen ovations to not a few of the lines. But only James Borrelli, who played the drunken rag-and-bones man, Matthew Skipps, received a genuine and enthusiastic ovation for his acting.

The premier performance of a major orchestra ,jn campus Saturday night saw the Toronto Sym)hony gamely battling the air-conditioning system ,n the jock building in a program of Dvorak, Smetana and DebussyIt is difficult to say who won, but certainly the overall impact of the concert was greatly impaired.

The jock plant was never, of course, designed to be a concert-hall and one must expect problems.

But I find it hard to understand why the most severe chfficulty should be the one most easily solved and yet nothing was done about it.

It is admittedly nice to be able to breathe, but after all, there was a 15-minute intermission and the volume of available air in the gym is sufficient to keep even a large crowd breathing for the length of a Smetana tone poem or a Dvorak symphony.

If one must choose between air pollution and sound pollution during a symphony concert I should have thought the choice obvious.

I don’t think it is worth $8500 of involuntary student money to finance an hour-and-a-half or airconditioning roar and whoosh, above which every so often when the music, exceeds mezzo-forte, the sounds of an orchestra can be heard.

As far as the gym itself is concerned, even if the air-conditioning problem could be solved, the story is roughly what one would expect.

There is definately a problem in the base. The string basses could be heard, but it was difficult to distinguish one note from another.

Brass bass fared better, and indeed, the brass seemed to come through quite well, at least from my vantage point in the midst of the crowd on the main floor.

Lower string sound was a lost cause in general as one had to infer what the violas and cellos were Woodwinds and up to, rather than simply listen. violins were quite audible which is fortunate because they sounded superb.

Projection of sound is always a problem in gymnasiums, and those sitting far towards the rear had to strain mightily to make out much of anything.

I am told. The cheap seats, up in the bleachers and balconies fared better I suspect.

Turning to the performance. the clear winner of the evening was the Dvorak 6th symphony in D major.

This lovely and graceful piece is not nearly as well-known as the last three of Dvorak’s symphonies, but conductor Ancerl made an excellent case for it. It seemed to me that in the

and

whoosh

first and third movements, things lagged a little by comparison with Wednesday’s performance in Massey hall, which I had the good fortune to hear.

The difference, I am sure is due to the acoustical problems of the gym. For the rest, everything was just right, well proportioned, good humored, and fitted out in first-rate orchestral playing.

The first number on the program, Smetana’s early tone poem Wa//ensteinS camp is pretty much of a loser.

Much of the thematic material is banal, and the thing sprawls pointlessly.

It doesn’t compare with any of the pieces in Ma vfast and was not a very good choice for this audience, or any audience listening to Czech symphonic music I don’t see how any perforfor the first time. mance could really save the piece, but TSO’s was a good try.

Debussy‘s nocturnes for orchestra (the third being omitted Saturday night because of the lack of a chorus) are splendid works, but the air-conditioning noise and other acoustic problems simply undid things here. How are you going to portray subtle and delicate impressions of the movements of clouds with the mechanical whir of air-conditioning machinery roaring away all the .while?

Fetes (festivals) wasn’t quite so hopeless, but Debussy is not Respighi after all, and needs a certain amount of peace and quiet to come across.

It didn’t really make it in this case and applause was surprisingly sparse at the end.

The piece subsides into silence at the end, but of course in our case it subsided into the air-condition nig, and no-one could tell whether the orchestra had stopped playing until Ancerl turned around and the players put up their bows.

The three thousand or so people present were evidently pleased with the Dvorak piece and leaped to their feet to applaud enthusiastically at the end, thus induing a sparkling encore in the form of the Bartered bride overture of Smetana.

This splendid piece can hardly fail in the worst of donditions and made a nice dessert for the occasion.

Let’s hope that somebody will put in some effort between now and next year to make the jock building more suitable for this kind of affair. There are no decent auditoriums of a suitable size for a major symphony orchestra in the Kitchener-Waterloo area and until one is built the gym will have to do.

A good acoustic shell would probably help matters a lot. But nothing will be of any use until people realize that a symphony orchestra is not a pop group-it can’t just drown out the opposition with sheer brute amplification.

The U.S. has been playing poker in Vietnam while the Viet Conghad them checkmated all along.

An honorable solution to the Vietnam war proposed by Hanoi was recently torpedoed by the United States.

Joseph Starobin, political science professor at York University told a moratorium day audience that he himself communicated this proposal to Henry Kissinger, Nixon’s foreign policy adviser in Washington.

Elaborating on how he became involved in the peace negotiations, Sta-robin explained that prior to taking his doctorate he had worked as a journalist and had befriended Xuan Thuy, who is now Hanoi’s chief negotiator in the Paris Peace talks.

The Hanoi delegates indicated to Starobin that they were ready for private talks as opposed to the speech-making which has gone on for the last 18 months. Hanoi’s willingness to compromise was evident in this proposal as contrary to their former demand for complete withdrawal of American troops, they would now settle for the withdrawal of 100,000.

According to Starobin, Hanoi envisaged a coalition government which would organize new elections and bring about a political settlement.

They were not insisting that their side run the government, and were prepared to include members of the present Saigon administration., The proposals which were conveyed to Kissinger September 10, have not apparently been seriously considered by the U.S. The Detroit Free Press carried an unconfirmed report October 6 on secret talks taking place between Hanoi and the U.S., which alarmed Starobin.

He felt that if the talks were to be successful they should be kept secret.

Later reports from Paris, however, indicated that the proposals had been disregarded.

The leakage to the press was just a ruse to appease the American public on the eve of moratorium day.

Starobin stressed the fact that the U.S. cannot possibly win in Vietnam and that the only way the Saigon regime can be maintained is by U.S. guns.

He stated, “It is my experience that the other side has given us an honorable avenue of retirement in the course of the last six weeks”. He feels that the U.S. objection to a coalition government is ludicrous, as many western countries such as Norway, Italy and France have included the communist party in coalition governments.

Starobin objected to the K-W Record’s coverage of his speech which quoted him out of context.

He agreed that he may have said that the fundamental reason for Americans being in the war was to protect the people from communism, but he was citing this as official american policy not as a personal belief.

What he particularly wished to stress was that the Viet Cong represented a nationalistic liberation movement led by communists or people claiming to be communists.

Quoting Ronald Reagan’s speech at a recent whitehouse dinner, he continued, “The distinguished educator of the state of California, member of the hard right,

Joseph Starobin addressing the Vietnam moratorium looks upon the whole thing as a question of holding cards.”

Reagan had apparently said, “people who are protesting ought not to be doing so, because they do not know the cards that are in the hands of the Nixon adminisI tration. ” Carrying the analogy of a poker game just a little further, Starobin suggested that the U.S. came into the game with very bad cards and seemed to think that the solution lay in kicking over the table and blasting their way out with gunfire, as Reagan himself had done in many westerns.

He added that the ghastly irony of it all is, that while the U.S. is playing a poker game the other side is playing chess, a

classical continental game in which they are very expert.

The essence of this game is that you maneuver the pieces so that you checkmate your opponent. He feels that the U.S. has now been checkmated in that Vietnam has fought a big industrial power to a standstill, and the old standard U.S. solution of blasting their way out won’t work.

He said, “For the U.S. to be placed in this position four years after the war was escalated is a national humiliation, especially when they claim to have the genius of world leadership. ” If the U.S. cannot withdraw they face the possibility of an aroused and wrathful electorate engaging in more and bigger demonstrations, he added.

WASHINGTON, D-C.-At a recent press conference it was hard to distinguish Nixon from Agnew.

He implied that to criticize his slowdown in southern school desegregation-15 years after the Brown decision-was to ask for “instant integration”!

He could see no ethical problem in replacing Fortas, with Haynsworth, the judithe judicial moonlighter, ciary’s most absentminded stock speculator.

He said there were no American combat troops in Laos, except maybe in certain activities he did not care to discuss. ’ He denied there was any numbers game in picturing the cancellation of 50,000 draft calls for november and de@ember as a sign of approaching peace in Vietnam, although from june to October he had drafted 56,000 more men than last year and four days earlier the pentagon had announced as an economy move that it would be tak-

ing 70,300fewer men into the armed services.

He rejoiced that at the UN he had found “no significant criticism” of U.S. policy in Vietnam; the secret service must have rushed him through the delegates’ lounge pretty fast.

He is against the Goode11 bill to remove all U.S. troops from Vietnam by december 1, 1970 because he wants to get them out sooner, but it is better not to let the enemy know because that would destroy his incentive to negotiate.

All we need to bring peace he said is a “united front” at ’ home. The united front hasn’t been advocated so openly since the 1937 convention of the Communist party.

As for’ the student moratorium of October 15 and the other anti-war demonstrations planned for this fall, Nixon said “under no circumstances” would he “be affected whatever.”

Before making that remark, he should have phoned that man down on the ranch.

Either the wiretaps at 1029 Vermont avenue have brok-

en down or Nixon hasn’t caught up with the transcripts.

That has suddenly become the busiest place in Washington. On the tumultuous eighth floor, with 17 telephones and 11 outside lines, veterans of the McCarthy movement led by David Hawk and Sam Brown, are swamped by the response to the Vietnam moratorium.

On the floor above the more politically unkempt but equally vigorous new mobilization committee to end the war in Vietnam is having trouble coping with public response to its november 15 “March against death” to Washington and its “No peace for Nixon” drive, aimed to make his public appearances uncomfortable until all U.S. troops are out-of Vietnam.

The best index of the response is that even the bucolic state college in South Dakota where Nixon last june 3 could safely attack student dissent has defected; the names of the Vietnam dead were read there on October I5 and a “tree of life” planted.

Thev won’t admit defeat J

A year ago the campus center was “liberated”.

It was more a symbolic gesture than a show of force-after all, the confrontation was one of keeping the building open.

Then both sides sat down to negotiate something that should have been settled long before had the administration not been afraid of recognizing a principle-that the campus center, just like the university, is here for students and should serve students’ interests.

The student side was more reasonable than necessary, and it was really only trading in an unnecessary careerist bureaucrat for a building that would be open 24 hours a day.

In good faith, the students allowed the administration to take responsibility for providing all regular services.

The final agreement even contained the catch-all clause, “...the campus center board and the federation shall accept and be governed by all prevailing university operating policies and procedures and practices at any given time unless special arrangements have been made with and formally approved by the relevant university administrative officer with respect to any program, event or ongoing situation. ” But just like the Western imperial powers agreed after the Vietnamese people beat them on the battlefield of Dien Bien Phu and later prevented the arranged free elections, the administration of this university has refused to play fair after negotiations were over.

It has engaged in a self-proving that student-majority exercise control won’t work.Incredible bureaucratic hassles and lack of communication have doomed the campus center board to ineffectiveness.

The services the administration was to be responsible for have been almost totally inadequate.

Most of the policy problems have been thrown to the board in areas that overall university policy should cover and doesn’t. The result of such situations is that the

board gets blamed for inaction or lack of concern.

The campus center agreement implies that representatives of the board can negotiate with food services to expansion of services as equals, but the administrators involved haven’t seen fit to act that way.

The solution will not be found .by blaming the management responsibilities channels within the board. Faculty association president Jim Ford allowed that his complaints in this area could possibly be answered by a clear definition of a management responsibility among the present officers of the federation of students.

The solution will be found where Ford suggested in his second point -using a little muscle. If a few large administrative asses were kicked swiftly, the campus center might start to function smoothly.

“Why didn’t they come to me at a Petch peeve session?” Petch asked a Chevron reporter in september. If he thinks that’s how the campus center board was supposed to solve its problerns with the bureaucrats, then Petch is more naive than even Knowlton Collister thought.

The administration doesn’t like student control of anything. Last winter, a full review of the student-affairs departments (health, counselling, off-campus housing, residences) by a faculty-studentadministration committee recommended student-majority boards to set policy for those areas, with the various administrators reporting to them.

Only some minor recommendations of that committee have been implemented.

Petch has said student-majority boards don’t work, giving the campus center board as an example.

Student control in student-affairs areas is as inevita.ble as a Viet Cong victory in Vietnam. To continue the fight, the administration will only produce more frustration and lose the services of more good men like Pim Fitzgerald.

When will they ever learn.

All of a sudden--twice A little more than a year ago, the committee studying university government released its conservative report.

It advocated nothing more than tinkering with existing structures and adding a couple of students here and there. That was after two years of study.

A student minority report proposed a single-tier governing body and several other significant changes. It was dismissed as premature.

Then suddenly in january, after a secret session in the board of governors, a single-tier plan was announced with a planned institution date of july 1970. A week or so later, after token debate, the senate approved the same plan.

A joint meeting of board and senate did nothing but decided to form a committee to do the legal work that would send it back for rubberstamping and then on to the legislature.

There was never really any explanation given for the sudden action.

Perhaps it was then-admin president Gerry Hagey’s idea as a parting move of destiny; maybe it was somebody else’s idea of a farewell gift for Hagey; or maybe it was just plain old let’s-put-uniwat-on-the-map-with-a-bunch of aren’t - we-dynamic - and-progressive-and-all-that.

Now, again all of a sudden, it’s go slow time. Maybe we’re overreacting, but it’s just possible we won’t have the single-tier govern-

ing council in july the way the committee is delaying and rehashing.

There are several possible reasons.

The senate and the board seem to be getting cold feet about what was proposed to them as really just a merger that would change the status-quo only in name. The draft act doesn’t -do much more than that, but it does open the door to further change.

Meaningful student participation may be scaring some people in high places. When the single-tier plan was announced, the conservative student government of John Bergsma was in office and many administrators were reading the cards as saying radicals wouldn’t get elected in significant numbers or to important offices anymore.

That was before Tom Patterson was elected federation president.

He’s been whomping them intellectually in the university act drafting committee.

Finally, there’s the problem of what to do if big brother says no.

The University of Toronto ‘s commission on university government has just reported with a plan similar to Uniwat’s. But university-affairs minister William Davis has said no to passing any legislation to implement it until there has been considerable discussion in the community.

In the past, whatever happens at the University of Toronto has had rather significant effects on the rest of the province.
