UNIVERSITY

Cross-Canada OTTAWA (CUP)-The canadian contribution to the second Vietnam moratorium began 24 hours early in Montreal wednesday but will continue on a normal schedule in the rest of the country, as students march, talk and boycott classes november 13, 14 and 15 in protest against the war. McGill Approximately 50 University students, dressed as U.S. soldiers and Vietnamese peasants Wednesday afternoon, acted out the pacification of Freiligs burg, Quebec, a small village in the eastern townships. TWO platoons of uniformed troops, carrying toy guns and gas masks, entered the village from both ends, clearing up all “resistance”. At a bridge on the route the soldiers fought a skirmish with members of the national lib-

Other captured Vietnamese villagers were herded together and brutally treated by the troops: they interrogated and tortured one man while four soldiers held down a girl for a fifth to rapeintended to symbolize the rape of Vietnam by the U.S. The assailant was stopped by two real Vietnamese: members of Montreal’s union des vietnamiens patriotiques du Canada, who seized guns and clubbed the soldiers. The two rescuers were shot. Many of the 371 actual inhabitants of Frieligsburg, as well as the Montreal press, turned out to view the pacification: school children lined the route of the

up for peace

The november Vietnam moratorium committee has suggested that students and faculty hold discussions in regular classes today. There will be a torchlight march tonight, beginning from the campus center, circling the ringroad and passing the village to Columbia field. Moratorium organizers invite anyone to bring a torch of some sort and “light up for peace”. The Columbia field rally will

include speeches and a campfire. A teach-in will be held at Waterloo Lutheran today. Tomorrow morning a march from Waterloo square to speaker’s corner in downtown Kitchener starts at 9 :30 am. A motion to endorse the march failed by one vote at the K-W labor council tuesday night. Council president and Kitchener alderman George Mitchell said he will march anyway.

soldiers and television cameramen continually got in the way. Most residents seemed impressed by the performance of the “pacification,” carried out by members of the McGill moratorium committee, but observers reported they didn’t seem to understand the issued involved. The name of the pacification target was kept secret by organizers until Wednesday ; the action was the first phase of the week’s moratorium and was designed to call attention to a teach-in at McGill thursday and to show the tragedy of Vietnam in a situation familiar to the people of Quebec. The pacification will be followed up by speakers and films on the university campus thursday and friday, and a protest march on the U.S. consulate. The moratorium effort is not officially supported by any canadian university; Toronto’s Glendon College, whose faculty council backed the moratorium last friday had the decision reversed tuesday by the faculty council of York University, its parent institution. The York council ruled that Glendon principal Escott Reid acted unconstitutionally when he broke a tie vote to swing the college behind the moratorium as a “political act.” More than 625 of Glendon’s 1200 students and faculty have since signed a petition supporting the council’s original stand; 40 York faculty members have also signed a petition declaring

they will cancel classes friday in support of the protest. The administration at the University of Toronto has not responded to a petition signed by 1500 students and faculty asking for a cancellation of classes friday, but students at U of T are expected to take the same action as other students across the country, boytotting classes to attend teach-ins and films about the war. The Toronto protest will climax Saturday with a march through downtown streets, organized by a variety of local anti-war groups: With variations, the pattern is expected to be the same across the country: class boycotts, speakers, films and marches-usually on the local US consulate. At the University of Manitoba, the speakers will include two members of the Vietnamese national liberation front: Le Phong, head of the provisional revolutionary government of South Vietnam in Stockholm, and Huynh Van Ba, Havana charge D’affaires of the provisional government. The Manitoba students will be joined by provincial health and social services minister Sid Green in a march on the Winnipeg consulate of the United States sa turday . In Vancouver, anti-war organizers plan a two-part demonstration for Saturday. The main contingent of the protest will march from the Canadian national railway station downtown to the Vancouver courthouse. A second group will conduct a silent march to the courthouse by another route.

theater The moratorium committee at McMaster University will distribute a special information kit on the war to every student at the Hamilton Campus. The McMaster student council has also issued a request to every professor at the university, asking that they spend half of each class friday in a discussion of the war. The same day, organizers will serve a “solidarity meal,” vietnamese style, on the campus. At the University of Alberta, members of the student council will hand out handbills in front of their classrooms, as a result of a council motion requesting professors spend the day discussing the Vietnam conflict. Saturday, the U of A students will march on the Alberta legislature, approximately two miles from the campus. Dalhousie University students, probably with support from students at neighbouring St. Mary’s and Mount St. Vincent universities will march through Halifax Saturday. Campus teach-ins are also planned at the University of Western Ontario and Queen’s University. In the United States, the Nixon administration Wednesday withdrew its ban on the use of Pennsylvania avenue in a mass anti-war march through the capital scheduled for Saturday. For the first -time, the administration announced “confidence” that the demonstration would be peaceful. As many as 200,000 demonstrators are expected to take part in the march. To get administration agreement to use of the street, which runs directly in front of the whitehouse, march organizers agreed to provide 2000 marshalls to keep demonstrators on the south side of Pennsylvania-a way from the prisident ‘s residence. Five hundred more marshalls will keep crowds away from government buildings in the area. The government is still taking no chances : a 25-man ‘advance party from the 82nd airborne division flew to Washington today to plan communications and billetting arrangements for 1500 to 2000 paratroopers who might be brought to the capital in the next few days. A pentagon spokesman exphasized that the troops would not be stationed in downtown Washington “until requested by the justice department. ” The troops would be used for “peacekeeping, ” he added.

sci-sotfUVOfS wear discussion

Three parking mound

changes in the south campus development plan were announced Wednesday. Two administration buildings (one in the lot adjacent to the arts library and one at the Columbia street entrance) are planned for 1972 completion. The between the library and food-services is the site for a planned 1987 underground library annex. Story on page 2.

The science society has come out in favor of discussion in classrooms on the Vietnam war as long as the majority of students agree and the professor consents. About 20 students at the science general meeting Wednesday decided this form of moratorium observance was acceptable. In classes where the majority of students do not wish to discuss the war or where the prof does not agree, the society feels the students who wish should be able to go to another classroom to hold their discussions.

GUELPH @INS)-The gap between the University of Guelph and its striking employees appears to be closing. Negotiations between the university and the civil service association of Ontario reopened in Toronto ion monday, and the association’s negotiator, Ben Coffey, stated “there has been a slight movement by management on money items.” The two most difficult items to resolve are the checkoff of union dues and maternity leave.

The steering committee name of university staff association of Waterloo was opposed by many who felt that because membership is open only to uniwat staff, the name University of Waterloo should be included. The executive will now approach the administration for permission to use the name. When asked if the association would address itself to issues concerning the university, the .president replied that all decisions would be made by the membership. The new executive will prepare a constitution, and face the main problem of recruiting a viable membership. Though all of the 1600 staff were informed of the meeting, only 150 were present.

The student-services admin building is planned to accommodate a south campus enrolment of 14,000, of which about 2200 would be co-op students offcampus. The administrative services building is planned to both the south campus and the initial stages of north campus development. Of the new plan for south campus development, the Gazette quotes admin president Howard Petch as saying, “We can see a great many advantages to this latest plan. It offers a very promising solution to the problem of relating campus development to the needs of the people on campus; at the same time it will maintain and indeed improve the attractiveness of the environment. ” The president’s council includes Petch, academic vicepresident Jay Minas, admin treasurer Bruce Gellatly, operations vicepresident Al Adlington, arts dean Warren Ober, engineering dean Don Scott, math dean William Forbes and science dean William Pearson. Technically, the development plan has been “recommended” to Petch for implementation. The arts department chairmen were consulted by the president’s council. 4 ~rewiIIbeaChevr~ffmeetingmondayat4pmin~ eChevronoff iceinthepeople’scampuscenterifthisnew spaperi~ingtobelongtoi~affthenthestaffhadbett erattendtheoddmeetingandofcarrsenewrecruitsarea lwayswelcomeeqxiaI lypeoplewhol iketositthrough andreportonboringmeetingsbutanyonecanjointhesta ffwenhowiepetchormarybusbridgeiftheyreal lywant edtoobutw’dprobabl ydrawthel ineatjackadamsbuth ecanstil lwriteletterstotheeditorifhewantsasanxryb odyelsesodon’tforgetthere’saChevronstaffmeeting mondayat4pmintheChevronoff icebutwa%houtforT eddyoutwatchdogprotemheonl yl i kesradicalsatfirsts ightandnot~entherrsometi~bu~omeanywaybi bi fee

CUSO stays non-political ST. ADELE, Que. (GINS)-An attempt to conduct a “program of public awareness and political action in Canada concerning the social, economic and political issues of development” in the Canadian university service overseas organization, has failed. CUSO’s present activities are concentrated on recruiting volunteers for jobs in ,developing countries. A group of volunteers, returned from overseas assignment, introduced the amendment to the CUSO constitution at the annual meeting. The motion was defeated after a three-hour debate on sunday, which pitted the returned volunteers against students and repre-

condemns

SASKATOON (GINS)-The student union at the University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon campus has condemned remembrance day as a day glorifying war rather than as a day of remembrance. In a news release monday, the union said a motion to that effect was adopted at a council meeting -not in disrespect for the dead, but as a condemnation of the commercialism of war.

University staff employees walked off the job October 24 to support demands for a salary increase of 25 percent over two years. A subsidiary pay demand was for a system of increments to raise workers from the bottom of a wage classification to the top in a set period. The university said this was negotiable. -

Motion

A general meeting of faculty, staff and students in june voted overwhelmingly to reject any building in parking lot D. The plan discussed at the meeting was for one large admin building. A week later, administration president Howard Petch said there would be no admin building in lot D because a site was needed for a future expansion of the arts library. The new building plan includes a three-storey underground library annex in the hill between the arts library and food-services. The main administration building, called administrative services, will be located just north of existing buildings at the Columbia street entrance. Both administration buildings are scheduled for completion in 1972. The library annex is not expected to be needed until 1987. The student-services administration building will include: registrar, student awards, coordination and placement, counselling, graduate office, overseas student o’ffice, housing office and a business office cashier. The administrative services building will include: the rest of the business office, purchasing, personnel, physical-plant and planning, office services, extension, marketing center and alumni association. The president’s council’s decision to build a centrally located student-services admin building is based on a survey of usage. “I believe that until this survey was taken it has not been appreciated just how often students do require access to these departments,” said academicservices director Pat Robertson. According to the Gazette’s story, “The selection of parking lot D for the student-services building permits the university to take advantage of the only centrally-located site still available. .“The building’s construction will not limit e.rpansion of facilities for the arts faculty.

Summer help and part-time staff would be excluded from membership. To cover legal expenses and publication costs, a fee of 75 cents per month will be deducted from salaries. Committee proposals and aims, covered in the Chevron October 28, were eventualy adopted. Henderson assured those present that, though one clause concerned wages and standard of living, no bargaining or union status would be sought unless the members so desired. Since management staff are eligible for membership it was questioned how these people could deal with themselves under the above proposal. People in this position would be ineligible to serve on the committees concerned, said Henderson.

A new campus development plan, including two administration buildings and an underground arts library annex has been approved by the administration president’s council and released in the Gazette Wednesday. One of the administration buildings, called a student services building, will be built in parking lot D.

Compendium Student council monday night passed a motion for a referendum on compendium 1970, the year book published by the federation of students. / moved by grad The motion, rep Nick Kouwen and seconded by math rep Dave Greenberg, came after a motion to abolish the yearbook had already been passed. The question of abolition was introduced in light of the $3000 loss on compendium 69. Federation president Tom Patterson said that the yearbook has always operated at a loss and always would in the future. He added that since 1965 it has had a deficit of $16,000. After the motion to abolish the yearbook carried 12-9, Kouwen and Greenberg reopened the issue. Greenberg claimed that “it is one of the few things people get out of their federation fees.” Patterson retorted that it is “the most useless and expensive activity of the federation” and less than one-tenth of the student body ever purchased a copy.

The students demanded that the administration accept binding arbitration in the case of physdisics prof S.A. Santhanam, missed by the administration last spring without stated reason. Three of the protestors, including student council president Marcel Nouvet, were ordered by Loyola dean of students Rodcrick Shearer to appear before student courts as a result of the action. The students refused to disperse at Shearer’s command.

tenth of the student body participated. He gave the example of a capacity audience in the arts gallery representing less than five percent. Patterson then brought up the problem of finding an editor. He said that only one application had been received. When the motion was made, Patterson argued that it would be january before a referendum was held and a suitable editor found. However, the motion carried 14-5. The fererendum will ask if you are in favor of producing a yearbook for 1970 providing a suitable editor is found. If your answer is yes you are to choose between the following options: l The yearbook is to be subsidized out of compulsory fees with each federation member receiving a copy. l It is to be partially subsidized out of compulsory fees with the rest being paid by those who purchase the book. At present, compendium is purchased directly, but the sales never cover the costs.

It was the second time in two weeks that Loyola student have used sit-ins to dramatize their protest over the administration’s handling of the Santhanam affair. Approximately 250 students blocked the corridors of the building november 3 to demand that administration president Patrick Malone reopen the case.

council

Among the many decisions made at monday’s student council meeting was the granting of $500 to Everdale, a free school 50 miles northwest of Toronto, for an exchange program. The school, represented at the meeting by staff member Bob Davis and two students, requested only $400 from the federation to help finance the program for 15 students and 2 staff members to be sent to the east end of Montreal. The purpose of the program is for the students to learn to speak french by living with french university students and being emerged in a french culture. Math rep Glenn Berry introduced a motion with the figure be raised to $500. Arts rep Larry Caesar seconded it, making the amendment that the money come from the highschool project funds in the education board. Strongest opposition came from grad rep Nick Kouwen. He stated the program doesn’t benefit the federation and if anyone wants to support it he can contribute individually. The motion carried 16-4. Other decisions made were:

briefs

l The financing of delegates to be sent to the world university services (WUS) seminar in the Netherlands, january 5-11. l The financing of students involved in the soviet exchange program arranged by CUS. l The financing of members of the young liberal club for a meeting in Vancouver. l The appointment of Larry Burko as speaker of student council and Jim Keron as treasurer. They were the only applicants for the positions. l Appointments to the vacant seats on the campus center board are to be decided at the next executive board meeting, since applications do not close until today. One hotly debated issue was student appointments. Kouwen introduced a motion for faculty socities to make appointments to committees, boards or delegations. He argued for such rights for the graduate student union in particular. The motion did not carry. The faculty societies critique by former arts rep David Cubberley was tab1e.d for the next council meeting.

harangue

Harangues against the federation of students were major concerns of the graduate student union at its tuesday council meeting. A resolution was passed to approach the federation of students for financial assistance to aid a grad student directory, as the majority of grad students were omitted from the original directory. CSU president Derek Whitworth said the grad stu-. dents should have a “voice in the chaos” (referring to activities provided for by the $22 activity fee). Gerald Fuller, grad representative of civil engineering, said that in meeting students prior to the recent by election and asking about various aspects of university organizations, he was met with apathy. Dave Gordon claimed there was “shady business going on in the federation and there is too much money for the Chevron. Entertainment activities sponsored by the federation are not restricted to uniwat students”. Therefore the students don’t get something special for their $22. The GUS council passed the following motion: - l That the grad student union would petition all grad students whether or not to secede from the federation of students in order to get their own grad center in cooperation with the international student association ; l That they conduct a feasibility study which would include incorporation ;

Hopefuls to meet elite Grad rep Nick Kouwen reported to student council that the presidential search committee has arranged a schedule for presidential nominees to appear on campus. Each nominee is to spend two days on campus. He will meet with faculty and students in the morning and afternoon on the first day. Kouwen added that these two-hour meetings were mainly for faculty but students were also welcome.

When repeatedly asked if this meeting would be closed, Kouwen eventually admitted that it was, explaining that the other meetings were open.

Petch had rejected the delegates chosen by the executive board after the positions were advertised.

He then introduced a motion for the nominee to meet with the committee of society presidents, the president of the federation, and council and executive-boa-r-d members.

Santhanam’s case was officially closed by the administration after the professor refused a cash offer to leave the campus november 5. His treatment by the administration is still under consideration by the Canadian association of university teachers, who are expcted to issue a statement shortly on the affair.

The positions were for student members of the administration’s delegation to the annual meeting of the association of universities and colleges of Canada held, last week in Ottawa.

When asked directly, Kouwen refused to disclose when the nominees would be on campus. for finan-

Other business in the meeting included the election of H. “Chinny” Chinwala as speaker. Eight positions on the council were declared open since the representatives had missed at least two successive meetings. President Derek Whitworth gave a report on the AUCC conference. When asked if he thought the conference was of any use, Whitworth replied that it was good to meet other grad students from across Canada and to find out that problems grad students have at uniwat are common to all. A resolution was passed to request from uniwat administration a permanent job placement officer for grad students, since undergraduates get ample opportunity to meet representatives of industries. Dave Rees-Thomas, the “fed-up” editor of the Grad Bag, the graduate newspaper, gave a report on the newspaper which was late in coming out because promised articles did not come through. Don Gorber reported on athletics-graduate participation was very poor, and the hockey sweaters had shrunk. Dieter Haag will submit a written report on the Canadian service overseas student trainees in Quebec.

Arts

accepts

After much quibbling over technicalities, the arts faculty voted thursday in favor of a dead week. As things now stand the seventh week of the 1970 winter term will have no arts classes scheduled. The recommendation of undergraduate affairs group that dead week be accepted on a regular bassis was voted down, because it failed to comply with council stipulations. These stipulations which undergraduate affairs found impossible to meet, stated that the winter term should have a minimum of 13 teaching weeks, and should not extend beyond april30. Philosophy prof Judy Wubnig felt that the seventh week of the winter term was a bad time for a dead week since it was just after the Christmas holidays. She was reminded by history prof Hugh McKinnon that chrisfriday

deadweek tmas -period was not exactly a restful time. McKinnon also stated that people beginning the second semester are more tired than they were at the end of the first. He personally felt that a dead week was a good idea since it would give students time to clear off their desks and think about essays. Arts dean Warren Ober suggested that the recommendation covered council’s stipulation for 1970 and perhaps should be accepted for this year. Jack Gray felt that those in charge of the calendar could probably adjust it to fit in with dead week by starting the second semester earlier in january. The general fear that classes might continue beyond april 30 was reflected in the final vote which deleted the word regularly from the recommendation. 14 november

Constitution On monday the residents of habitat voted on the acceptance of the constitution that was presented to them by the provisory committee appointed in september. With a large turnout of voters -65 percent-the constitution was approved with a 75 percent affirmative vote. All student reps and don reps must now be elected; they will serve until the end of the term. The election of the student council president will take place on november 24, and he will serve for the remainder of the academic year. The out-going student council at a meeting monday night also decided to hold a village weekend in cooperation with the village. This will take place november 27 to 30. Dances, contests and films will be a part of the events. A table-tennis and billiard tournament will also take place between the two residences. Habitat is now sponsoring a

approved contest to search for names for the four wings and the entire residence. The winner of the contest will receive free tickets to village weekend events. The council also discussed the need for kampus kop patrol during the night hours, to check on the burning of tires and noisy cars and motor bikes in the middle of the night. They could also assist in evicting uninvited guests who refuse to leave the houses and halls. * * * The work of the new council will be difficult as they will be faced with a complexity of problems, a limited budget and no experience on which to fall. One immediate problem is the creation of the courts, since a lengthy list of offences. and charges have been accumulating. Over $800 in damages have been estimated, limited to broken windows and damage to furniture. The cost of more than a dozen false fire alarms is not included.

Windsor grcds oppose import of U.S. ideas WINDSOR (CUP)-Canadian university students are “exiles in their own land,” according to a released monday by report three graduate students at the University of Windsor. In the first half of a report on the “de-canadianization of our universities, ” - the trio-William House, 21, Robert MacRae, 22, and Robert Reynolds,” 23-charge that Windsor is being taken over by american ideas and teachers. Stressing that de-canadianization “is not a nationalistic term,” that it “is not to be equated with the large invasion of american their 12-page report professors,” analyzes the problems created by a lack of Canadian content and teachers. Their findings will go to a committee on de-canadianization of the universities, organized by Carleton University professors James Steele and Robin Matthews. The three authors said stuU.S. professors, dents oppose not because they are americans but because they tend to import ideas from the american educational system which do not suit Canadian needs. This has led, the three contend in their report, to larger classes with an emphasis on lectures rather than tutorials. inThere is a “noticeable towards Canadian difference culture”, especially in the social sciences and the humanities, the authors said. American ideas predominate, and techniques the “value-free” particularly behaviorism taught in the social sciences. There is an ignorance of Canada, they said; “Students who are taught.. . nothing on Canada or Canadian approaches must be regarded as colonials. ” A lack of diversity has shown

itself in the “lack of marxists or even any socialists in the social sciences, and the predominance of the ‘value-free behaviorist approach’ that can only lead to blankness: intellectual and creative stagnancy.” The report says only 54 percent of faculty members at Windsor are Canadians, compared with Six years 76 percent in 1963. ago, Windsor had two american Today it department heads. has seven. The students call for a university ruling that all deans and department heads must be canadian citizens. They also criticize the twoyear “tax holiday” for foreign professors moving to Canada. U.S. professors can teach in Canada for two years without paying income tax. The report concludes by recommending that “good teaching of itself, must be sufficient for teaching and promotion; ” that “a reasonable amount of Canadian content and diversity-of approach must be made apparent in courses and departments.” It calls for the establishment of a “cross-disciplinary canadian studies course” at Windsor, and the limiting of class sizes with more course sections and tutorials. The students released the second half of their report yesterday. It deals with the case of Windsor professor Philip London, an american teaching English at Windsor. London’s dismissal by the english department in may 1969 was vetoed by the Windsor administration-but the english department has since refused to renew London’s contract for the next academic year, effectively denying him tenure.

The decline LIBERATION LUNCH ISN’T, read a few posters in the campus center recently. They were put up by a student who was told he would have to pay 15 cents for bread crusts-the crusts were surplus and the student wanted to feed the swan in the sickbay. The original liberation lunch wouldn’t have considered charging for the crusts. Liberation lunch was started in august when Dave Rees-Thomas, grad chemistry, couldn’t even get a reply from food-services manager Bob Mudie when he wrote to ask about keeping the campus center coffeeshop open. Mudie had decided to close the campus center operation because

of diminished business during the .off-month while keeping the arts coffeeshop and food-services building operations open. Rees-Thomas bought some good sandwich meat, cheese from the Baden factory, onions and fresh french bread and sold the makings for a sandwich, along with a cup of coffee, for 50 cents. It soon became apparent that profits were unavoidable, so tomatoes, pickles and fresh fruit were added. The original liberation lunch operated strictly on volunteer help, and if nobody volunteered -as happened a few days-there was no lunch. By the time the coffeeshop re-

opened in September, liberation lunch had accumulated $65 of unintentional profit. Rees-Thomas thought the project had served its purpose and decided the profits should be used to buy a coffee urn for perpetual 5-cent-help-yourself coffee in the campus center, so the urn was ordered. That coffee urn has become a symbol of the death of the original liberation lunch spirit. The orientation committeewho were using the campus center as a centroid, or information center for freshmen-felt liberation lunch was a good thing for orientation week, especially because a larger number of stu-

Fed board The board of directors of the federation of students decided to be more than a legal fiction at a meeting monday. The board was necessary for incorporation under provincial law, but the student council in framing the bylaws intended it exist only on paper, but by provincial law it can exercise extensive powers. Its five members, rubberstamped at an annua1 general meeting, are president Tom Patterson, vicepresident Tom Berry, treasurer Jim Keron, creativearts chairman Bob Sinasac and education chairman Barry Fillimore. Monday they seriously discussed abolishing student council. Fillimore moved a motion, seconded by Berry which read: Be it resolved that the student council of the federation of students be abolished and that all responsibilities revert to the board of directors.

may

banish

In the discussion that ensued, several substantial points were made in favor of the motion. Board chairman Tom Patterson reminded the board that as chairman of the board he could be impeached by the president of the federation. Fillimore added that all directors are liable for impeachment and that the board is directly accountable for its actions to a general meeting of the federation members. Sinasac inferred that the board of directors would be a very efficient power group to run the federation since all directors presently hold positions on the executive board of the federation. Through their executive experience, there would be no programs lapse in federation and services. Of course, it should be realized that the executive board dissolves when council is dissolved.

Study ignores poor CHARLOTTETOWN, P. E. I. (CUP)-The senate committee on poverty should dissolve itself and put its funds into community development, according to an unanticipated brief presented to the committee last thursday by a group of students from the University of Prince Edward Island. The one-page brief asked that the poor be given the chance to “voice opinions on their home grounds, ” and said those attending the committee’s hearings were not the-poor but the curious. “The real experts on poverty are not here, but on the streets and in the poor communities,” it said. The brief, loudly applauded by an overflow crowd of students and other citizens in the confederation center here, was not on the committee’s agenda. Committee chairman David

‘Croll finally agreed to let the students read their brief after they interjected questions into the committee’s hearings, but Croll adjourned the afternoon session when the questioning became heated. Croll later remarked that the students were just trying to “get some attention.” But a student said later, “We are sick of talk. Why aren’t they going out and meeting the people? ” Earlier in the week, Croll and the committee were faced with a similar demand at a Halifax meeting. The committee declined another offer to visit actual povd erty areas instead o,f carrying on “regular” committee hearings. Croll and his fellow-senators are ’ conducting cross-Canada hearings on poverty. After a tour of rural PEI, they were scheduled to fly back to Ottawa november 7.

‘s liberation dents would be in the building. So liberation lunch-offering a better lunch than the campus center coffeeshop at a lower price-attracted the masses and didn’t stop after orientation was over. But something happened along the way. Liberation lunch became dominated by one student and his wife. The latter started receiving wages, and liberation lunch soon started on several expansion plans. A milk cooler, a stove, a refrigerator, a meat slicer and many minor utensils were added. But even without buying all these things, the 50-cent lunch wasn’t breaking even-even though quality was falling and mess was accumulating. The price was raised1 to 75 cents “for one week only” and more than two weeks later the price dropped to 60 cents. It increased last week to 65 cents.’ In the meantime, Mudie brought out a submarine sandwich in the coffeeshop for only 65 cents. But large numbers of people were deserting liberation lunch even without the submarine sandwich incentive. One phenomenon evident through all this is the persistence of the volunteers. Some were working for free lunch, but others were staying because they liked the concept of people-motivated services. But they all grumbled

about the domineering student, Gary Tyrrell. Tyre11 became infamous for his loud voice in the campus center calling for volunteers to do various jobs for the lunch counter. He does all the talking at the liberation lunch staff meetings. One of the volunteers who gave up said, “The majority ,of the volunteers would decide one way and Gary would do the opposite. He just took over.” Meanwhile, back at the coffee urn... The coffee urn arrived in october and was immediately put to use with liberation lunch’s other borrowed urns. Tyrrell maintained the urn purchased by the original liberation lunch belonged to “his” liberation lunch and he intended to continue using it or to sell it if liberation lunch were to close. By Wednesday, Tyrrell was maintaining the urn was his personal property. Rees-Thomas feared the possible end of liberation lunch would mean the end of the urn, so on Wednesday evening, accompanied by two campus cops, he took the urn from liberation lunch. It is now resting in the security office. The campus center board is expected to discuss liberation lunch at its meeting monday. The lunch counter is operating with temporary permission from the board.

council

Thus far in the discussion, no reasons for abolishing student council had been given. Berry cited- the lack of interest in the recent byelections for vacant council seats as a strong indication that the student body does not consider council to be an important or relevant body necessary for the federation to function. has be“Student council come a farce, and it looks like apathy will keep it that way”, he said. Continuing this theme, Fillimore mentioned the lack of participation by nearly all student groups in the democratization committee which was consituted to develop alternative structure and fee arrangements for the federation. ‘f We are giving council and the societies a chance to air their complaints and recommend changes, but they prefer only to criticize from afar. “If any drastic changes are to be made in time for next year, they must be developed now, and council has demonstrated that it is too cumbersome a body to deal with this problem. The board of directors could quickly and efificiently move to a solution to the problems of restructuring, as well as operating the present federation,” Fillimore concluded. After considerable discussion, Sinasac reminded the board that there could be some underlying legal and operational hangups involved in reassigning budgetary jurisdictions among the five members of the board. With these possible problems in mind, Sinasac moved to table the motion until the next board meeting. The motion to table was passed, and the meeting adjourned with Patterson requesting the board members ,to prepare a brief on what they considered would be their new responsibilities if student council were to be abolished.

ium and the presidential

search-and-destroy

moratorium...

Since our deadline fell on remembrance day, we would like to pause to remember some casualties in the race- for the uniwat administration presidency. First, of course, we remember the loss of Howard Petch’s political virginity. He’s still a nice man, but since he ascended to the pro tern presidency his sincerity has been buried in the carefully couched phrases of a politician on the make. We also remember. the integrity of the souls who sold theirs for the secrecy pledge of the presidential search committee. We remember Bill Scott, who was fired as provost by Gerry Hagey because Hagey was stepping down as admin president and Howard wouldn’t take the job unless Scott was out. And we remember Al Adlington-wanted so much to be,administration president but who may wind up losing his operations empire. But fear not Al...there’s hope yet. Ryerson Polytechnical institute’s board of,,governors recently offered their vacant presidency to Western’s retiring vicepresident of ‘administration and finance, but he turned it down. If our friend Al applies before he gets fired here, he might make it. And a Ryerson presidency is better than nothing, but not much.. .

* * * The Vietnam moratorium has little to do with us, except that we will use it as excuse to hand in a short column. We will only say that if Howard didn’t want to be admin president permanent, he might take a stand on the war, being a physicist doing research that’s used in submarines and all. But he didn’t. Howard has cancelled classes but not labs for professional development day (that’s university talk for teachers’ convention) december 5. Either he’s telling us business must go on in laboratories regardless of social or political factors, or else he’s telling us labs don’t need improvement in educational techniques.

* * * Finally, the presidential search-and-destroy committee seems to be observing a moratorium. So what else is new. Today is november 14 (if there hasn’t been a nuclear war since our deadlinej and still there has been absolutely no public statement of when one of the eminent candidates will grace us with their presence. One positive step for the committee was selling the student council on a private chat with the candidates. Co-option may work on most of the student council “leaders” but fear not dear readers, for we shall know of every word spoken in these elitist tea parties. . And now we must go and join the boys at the legion for some real remembrance. Friday

“Do you find meaning and enjoyment in everything you do? Not likely. Most of us consider ourselves fortunate if we find such satisfaction in anything we do, much less everything, and our university courses are no exception”, said Barry Fillimore, chairman of the education board of the federation of students. He then referred to the October 7 issue of the Chevron in which John Holt and Whitney Griswold said that real learning generates enthusiasm and involvement. Holt made recommendations for changes in the educational environment which would facilitate that type of learning, but Fillimore said, “Many students can’t wait for the ideal setting to help them break out of their apathy or aimlessness. They are looking for solutions now to a sense of frustration or boredom or lack of direction. “To confront this problem”, he contin-

marriage

The talk on family and marriage given by father M. Sheeham of Toronto institute of pontifical and medieval studies had a small turnout of patient listeners last monday. He began with an optimistic perspective that “society tends to break down institutional structures that stand in the way of self-determination”. He saw the family as an example of this trend where marriage has become a matter of choice for the individuals involved rather than the arrangement of the parents.

lecture

Sheeham went into some detail about the legal problem involved concerning the exact time of contract and what makes it binding. In medieval times no witnesses were required to make the contract binding. Sheeham cited a case where a man terminated his marriage by proving that it was illegal since he was already married. The only proof required was the testimony of the girl that he had married at an earlier date. The question period lasted only one minute since the hour was up and another class was entering the room.

One girl experienced the worst of Canada, she felt, in her first encounter when she enrolled in Stratford teachers college last year and quit after three months. She said “everything since STC has been heartwarming in comparison”. Another said if things get tense in Canada perhaps a new option will emerge when and if the Canadian natives set up an independent state of six nations. It was brought to the attention of those present that UCLA was offering a course on how to get out of the draft under the title “selective service laws”. There was talk of setting up a union of american exiles here but most felt that action such as this would have a bad effect on themselves because it was more important to assimilate themselves into canadian culture rather than set themselves apart.

ST JOHN’S, Nfld. (CUP)-Newfoundland presents an almost classic case of how not to modernize an underdeveloped region, only more so. The more so is premier Joseph Smallwood. It has been 20 years since Newfoundland staggered into confederation. That it did so at all is a tribute to Smallwood’s ability and hard work. Now the province has an uemployment rate of 10 percent, and the lowest per capita income and the highest per capita debt in the country. A report prepared for the Smallwood government (and subsequentiy ignored) indicated that the situation will get worse The province’s debt will rise from about $800 million last year to $1.2 billion in 1972, the report said. It added that only the out-migration (as it is called here) of thousands of newfoundlanders has kept the unemploymen t rate from topping 30 percent. St. John’s reportedly has more millionaires per capita than any other city in Canada. And Newfoundland’s potential wealth in fish, minerals and timber is enormous. The Grand Banks, as a former Smallwood cabinet minister told 3,000 Memorial University students at a rally October 31, is the greatest fishing ground in the

is mineral-rich and the province’s millions in pulp, paper and timber.

“New foundland’s 500,000 people are probably sitting on more wealth, in natural resources than any other 500,000 people anywhere in the world,” he said. What’s wrong ? The student council at Memorial University, the province’s only university, called the rally to coincide with the Liberal party’s first-ever leadership and policy convention. The rally discussed what’s wrong, and where Newfoundland is going. The students’ immediate reaction is to blame Joey, and they are not alone. The leadership battle revolved almost entirely around Joey’s personality and the issues were buried in a landslide of mud. Thk convention was a leadership convention in name only, and Smallwood must have known that when he started his minor cultural revokution. Joey had too many friends in Newfoundland, and could do too much damage to his enemies, to worry much about losing. But he was obviously worried about the failure of his efforts to bring Newfoundland into the 20th century, and no doubt looked to the convention as a way of demonstrating his “grassroots” support. Looking at the record, it’s easy to blame Joey. The record, as told to me anyway, indicated he has sold the province down the river for a mess of promises. In the process the province has spent millions in outright grants, and millions more in tax and other subsidies to incoming industries. The return in jobs and personal income has remained meagre. Some examples: The Electric Reduction company phosphorous plant on Placentia bay was Joey’s baby. And ERCO was happy to come. The company’s pollution record and standards have made it an undesirable tenant in the other provinces. ERCO, if you recall, was in the thick of a flouride poisoning uproar at Dunnville Ontario, two years ago, a controversy which has yet to die down. Keenly felt here is another ERCO pollution triumph-the virtual destruction of Placentin bay as a source of fish through the dumping of phosphorous waste. Although ERCO denies it, a pollution expert who spoke to the student rally estimated it would take 15 years for the bay to become fishable again. And meanwhile, as one of the Liberal leadership candidates remarked bitterly, Newfoundland fish must be marked as not from Placentia bay to be acceptable as exports. ERCO was supposed to bring a .measure of prosperity to the region, providing jobs and income. In fact the company probably costs the Government more each year than it brings in.

A speaker at the rally noted that the government had to spend millions setting up a special electricity generating plant to meet ERCO’s needs. And ERCO gets a special deal on . its electricity-only 2.5 mills per kilowatt hour. By

alone.

I was told that 12 or 13 companies own most of the province’s mineral-producing areas. A few mines are operating, but in most cases the land lies untouched until it is more profitable for exploitation. The mines now worked are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, of which Joey’s government gets about $2,000,000 a , year. The liberal government offered an attractive deal to one pulp aid paper firm. The province put up about $30 million against $5,000,000 by the company to set up a plant. No losses guaranteed, largely publically-financed, and entirely privately-owned. Every year, I was told, this firm gives away a few hundred thousand dollars to ‘ ‘ w&thy’ ’ projects. The company can afford it-as part of -the package, it pays no taxes. These are all Joey’s deals, apd all are regarded with some anger by the newfoundlanders I talked to. A student told me there are two widely-held opinions about Joey’s efforts. The charitable view is that he doesn’t know how to manage money and has been duped. The other view is probably libelous. This feeling has colored Liberal leadership hopefuls John Crosbie’s and Alex. Hickman’s approach to the leadership-“give us the premiership and we’ll do a lot better.

countries is capital will

At the basis is the nature of capitalism itself. There are already fears here that industry will turn the province into a gigantic slagheap if the province makes it too easy for companies to get in. More important is the capitalist attitude toward people as sources of profit, labor as a commodity like any other commodity and the distortion of priorities that the capitalist’s search for profit brings into an economy. In their fight to survive as unique economic units, many of the third world countri&s have turned logically to socialism as an alternative to american and european ownership of their economies. The countries that have followed the capitalist road find themselves still underdeveloped, and falling behind. Newfoundland also resembles many countries of the third world in the intense nationalism of its people. “We’re newfoundlanders first and Canadians second,” explains one resident. And their experience with the capitalists mainland is not likely to tighten the bond.

of Canada’s

Meanwhile the newfoundlander pays millions to bring in private, industries, money which could be used to create publicly-owned industry. There are two advantages in following the second course: The profits will belong to the people, and the profits will cease to flow out of the province as they do now.

Their platforms would simply sell the province ai terms slightly more favorable than those Joey is getting. A fourth candidate, Thomas Spencer, said in his campaign speech that Newfoundland must be made more palatable for the “middle classes.” candidate Randy Only “nuisance” year student at Memorial, cut through

fog to the issues. Reading

“ . ..I am convinced it would be a disaster to develop Labrador as Mr. Smallwood has tried to develop Newfoundland. The number of jobs actually given to newfoundlanders is small, and the royalties the Newfoundland government receives from the operations are ridiculously small. “Most of the profits Newfoundland never sees-they go right out of the province. On top of this, Smallwood has wasted untold millions in promoting private industry of a dubious nature.. .” “There appear to be two alternatives to this system of exploitation,” Joyce continued. “One is letting private industry operate on a lease basis. The lease would be long enough to enable the company to make a profit; on its expiry the operations would then be run by the government and the profits could be applied to our province’s urgent needs, such as education and health. “The other alternative is complete socialization; that is, existing industries could be taken over by the government. ..” The Joyce’s

Half his 30-minute allotment was taken up by a demonstration of support. First, a navy cadet band marched into the auditorium-cum-hockey rink, followed by an all-girl high school band, followed by a gaggle of pre-pubescent chearleaders, followed by, so help me, another cadet band. And then, of course, Smallwood’s delegates flooded the floor.

The speech was pure Joey. No content, no discussion of the issues that had created the huge rift in the Liberal party, just a flamboyant call for unity. “We are one family!” he cried, raising his arms; “The Liberal family! ”

natural wealth for the natives of the squidjigging ground No-one was surprised when he won in the voting november 1. Joey controls Newfoundland. Buck Joey and the construction contracts may dry up. Vot tory and you may lose your liquor license. Joey’s popularity is based largely on his history, and his power. But he cannot cope with the modern problems, nor will his successors. Following the pattern of Quebec, the province will pass over into the ownership of foreign corporations (and “foreign” to a newfoundlander includes mainland Canada, just as “foreign” means “english” to a quebecker.) But Newfoundland Canada where the the private enterprise

may be the only province in people will make a break from ideology of their leaders.

It would also mean that the needs of the Newand not international capital, foundland people, came first in priorities.

Still lacking large industry, and thus without the powerful vested interests that cripple government action for the people in other parts of Canada, and in a situation where most of the people have nothing to lose, Newfoundland’s political spectrum may shift left.

There is no. evidence that the three major leadership candidates are willing to tackle the problem from this angle, and no wonder. Both Crosbie and Hickman own businesses themselves, and Crosbie is one of St. John’s millionaires.

And following the pattern of Quebec and the underdeveloped third world countries, newfoundlanders may begin talking separatism or revolution to pull themselves out of the mess their, leaders have created for them.

WASHINGTON D.C. (CUP-CPS) -At least 15 pieces of legislationthe official response to student unrest on american campuses-are still percolating in various committees of the U.S. senate and house of representatives. Four bills are pending in the senate labor and public welfare committees; eleven others are on file to the house of representatives’ special subcommittee on education .aThey include : l A bill providing that institutions of higher education that have failed to take necessary steps to maintain “a reasonable degree of discipline” will not receive federal contracts ; l A bill providing for a study of student unrest on US campuses ; a A bill “to encourage institutions of higher education to adopt rules to govern the conduct of stidents and faculty, to assure the right of free expression and to as-

The author then asks how the defense should be continued, (an example of this format is shown in the article ahove): All areas of defense ar:: covered in this book such as counting, false-carding defending against endplays, squeezes, false-carding etc. The book is well worth the $4.95 (U.S.) but only to the intermediate and advanced players who can appreciate the protential squeeze and end-play positions presented in this book.-

the great Canadian CHARITY BUBBLE. “. ..the poor have little time for middle-class social workers who specialize in freudi.ancounselling sessionsdesignedto help them adjust to their sorry lot.” by Peter Desbarats Satur\day Night, november

1969

NLY AFTER THE EXPLOSION did we all become aware of the silence that had preceded it. In other Canadian cities, people are still “giving at the office” without giving it a thought. But in Montreal, ever since the federation of catholic charities blew up, people have been asking questions. And the answers have created a disturbing picture of an archaic, inefficient and selfcentred system which coolly defrauds the public of millions every year and which perpetuates the social evils that it pretends to attack. Fraudulent is a strong word, but accurate in this case. The annual combined private welfare appeal in every large canadian city-the community chest, the red feather-is, in fact, an exercise by the affluent community in fooling itself and withholding from the poor money raised ostensibly to assist them. Affluent in this case includes everyone down to lower-middle income and particularly ‘the blue- and white-collar workers who are the biggest supporters and greediest consumers of the welfare fraud. poor refers to members of the self-perpetuating human junkheap at the bottom of society for whom private welfare agencies represent a subtle and effective instrumen t of oppression : the philanthropic “shower bath” that is, in reality, a kind of gas chamber. It is the private welfare system, presenting itself as an answer to poverty, that finally exterminates whatever hope the poor might have for a brighter future. I know that this all sounds exaggerated.. the usual journalistic build-up. But for a start, try a few questions: How much do you really know about the private welfare agencies in your own community? Who controls them? If you “give at the office” under an automatic payroll deduction plan, what democratic process assures you that this unofficial tax is used wisely ? * * * In all likelihood, the little you know about private welfare agencies is exactly what they want you to know. The only image in your mind is the poster or slogan from the last campaign. The agencies long ago learned that the most effective censorship screen is a public relations program based on partial information. Because newspapers and other media are pressured to take an interest in agencies once a year, during the campaigns, most journalists early in their careers develop a revulsion for the whole subject. When you combine this with the economic establishment’s pride in this area, the result is an effective immunity’from outside criticism. This might be acceptable for small private corporations involved in unimportant enterprises-the insiders’ picture that some agencies seem to have of themselves-but for publicly supported organizations claiming to combat serious social * problems, it’s a dangerous state of affairs. Dangerous. In a world of uncontrolled exploitation, it might be true that private welfare (the czarina’s hospital) is better than nothing. In our own world of developing social responsibility, where certain rights at least are enunciated if not fully recognized, private welfare can be seen as part of an older and opposite development, a negative phenomenon. And in that sense, worse than nothing. This becomes clearer if you set aside

the undoubted “good .works” of private welfare agencies and concentrate on their philosophy. Put simply, this philosophy states that private welfare agencies are the instrument which enables the rich to help the poor. They fulfil1 a “religious” obligation of the rich toward the needy. This is the way in which most people are encouraged to view the agencies during the annual campaigns. In fact, private welfare has remarkably little to do with the poor. It is primarily designed to circulate money and services within a relatively affluent class. The entire system rests, during the fund drives, on a lie. The system in fact insulates the affluent from a true picture of poverty and insulates the poor from effective action. The portrait of the private welfare agency as an enemy of the poor is so upsidedown (for the affluent class, not for the poor) that most of us, trying to comprehend it, are like middle-aged doctors grappling with medicare. It requires a tremendous mental effort to understand the system as it is understood by the poor and a small number of rebel social workers. Just to begin thinking about private welfare in terms of recipients instead ofdonors, for example, is well-nigh impossible for most businessmen for whom annual campaigns and agency boards have become prestige projects and useful “clubs.” * * * Most Montrealers, like most other canadians, are a long way from this new perspective. If they weren’t, the federated appeal at this point might just as well forget about its 1970 campaign. Even under the usual ideal circumstances, and with a two-week extension of its monthlong drive, Montreal’s 1969 campaign fell short of its $10,800,000 objective by $270,000. (Two points about the 1969 campaign which are a bit irrelevant here but illus_trative: the federated appeal had no com-

punction about extending its campaign right into the annual fund drive of the salvation army, which still actually works among the poor and, as a consequence, has never achieved much social status; and the stingiest record in the campaign was compiled by the professions, presumably .one of the most intelligent and certainly one of the wealthiest groups in the population.) But during the summer of 1969, the welfare education of Montrealers was started in an unscheduled fashion by a revolution among the professional social workers employed by the federation of catholic charities. The federation is the central private welfare organization for english-speaking Catholics in Montreal, as opposed to red feather for english-speaking protestants, the “federation” of french-speaking Catholics and the jewish welfare services. (As a local social worker said to me: “In Montreal we ask them about religiqn before we ask their names.“) It is the smallest of the four, all of which receive their money from a single federated appeal and until recently it bumbled along quietly in a workhouse world where Oliver Twist would have felt right at home. It wasn’t much given to the kind of selfdoubt which persuaded the protestant agencies in 1967 to hire a firm of outside Fonsultants to tell them that their services were “obsolete, prohibitively expensive and wasteful of precious professional talent as well as of money”--not that the protestant agencies have done much about it since then. Directors of the federation unwittingly made a big mistake, as they later realized, when they began several years ago to staff their agencies with social workers who were young, progressive, not necessarily Montrealers and not even, in some cases, Catholics. By last spring, a group of these young professionals led by the federation’s executive director, William Dy-

Charity is sacred in Kitchener- Waterloo. So sacred that the local federated charities won’t join a national organization, it holds secret board meetings and gets away with it; and critics such as Kitchener alderman Morley Rosenberg are shouted down for even asking questions in city council, about its operations.

The local branch of the Canadian mental health association appeals for funds separately because the federated charities won’t even try to raise enough for them. The local chapter of the Ontario heart foundation withdrew in October for similar reasons. The charities board includes most of the important business and industrial “leaders” of the community and gets together over dinner. It includes uniwat‘s number one socialite: operations vicepresident Al Adlington, as well as chancellor lra Needles, K-W Record publisher John Motz and at least four others who sit on uniwat’s board of governors. -Bob Verdun

The charities board didn’t even publish an audited statement until this year-after RosenbergS questions and an article in the Chevrons april community issue. The board refuses to set what many agenties feel are adequate goals-perhaps they might have to work too hard to make the goals.

son, felt strong enough to challenge their board of directors. They did this simply by releasing a few statistics. For the first time, english-speaking Catholics became aware of the coterie of priests and laymen who, since time immemorial’ had decided how millions of dollars of welfare donations would be spent. It was immediately evident, from the ages and terms of service of some of the directors, not to mention their addresses, that the board was a self-perpetuating clique of ancient irish-Canadian Catholics from all the best parishes. Dyson also hinted at financial carelessness when he told a public meeting that a million dollars had been involved in the construction of an obsolete institution, allegedly without the necessary government approval’ by one of the federation’s agencies. By threatening to resign en masse, and by fast political organization among younger Catholics, the rebel social workers elected a reform board at the federation’s annual meeting last august. But the old guard retained enough power to force out Dyson and several of his chief lieutenants before the dispute was finally resolved. What did Mont*rea*ler*s learn during the bitter fight? Primarily that most private welfare federations and agencies are “democratic” in a purely formal sense. They are headed by boards which,. in practice’ regard themselves as above criticism and accountable to no one and which, with few exceptions, represent extremely limited economic, ethnic and geographic sectors of the community. The new board of the catholic federation contains its first black and a rare italian, an astonishing fact considering the length of time that both communities have been established in Montreal. Even more surprising (because most blacks are protestant) is the fact that not a single black sits on the red feather board where the average income, according to a labour unions representative who frankly calls himself the board’s “white nigger,” is more than $20,000 a year. When agencies and federations had to raise their own funds, there might have been some logic in rewarding heavy givers with board positions. Nowadays, with all money raised by a central appeal: it makes no sense at all. Some board members have tried to minimize the importance of this by claiming that most boards \ rely totally on the advice of their professional social workers. If this is true, and the catholic federation’s experience casts doubt on it, it means that the community has absolutely no control at all over the agencies; the social workers have come * continued friday

to be like civil servants in a democracy whose parliament has ceased to operate. * * * In Montreal, as in other Canadian centres, there have been some tentative attempts to place “clients’‘-as welfare recipients are euphemistically termed-on the boards of individual agencies. So far it hasn’t worked out well, and this isn’t surprising, considering the motive behind most of these “concessions.” But the day may well be past when client representation on boards can help most agencies to involve themselves with the poor. Many agencies no longer have much contact with the rock-bottom poor. Most of their services now go to low-middle, middle and even upper-middle income groups. Recent surveys in the United States have shown that more than sixty per cent of the average community’s private welfare budget now goes to such “leisure” categories as improved recreation facilities, summer programs for children, adult education-services which the middle class employs more skilfully than the poor. Last spring, Montreal’s family service association, a red feather agency, actually complained in the newspapers that not enough middle-class people were taking advantage of its services. This was particularly upsetting for an agency that, one by one, had closed all its branches in poor sections of the city to concentrate its services in a single efficient unit in a middle-class area. * * * Many agencies have realized that past programs of centralization for the sake of efficiency have isolated them from people who really need their services. Now they are falling over each other in a race back

to the slums, setting up store-front offices and even forgetting old jurisdictional dispute to co-operate with other agencies in establishing community centres designed, at long last, to make their services accessible. But it might already be too late. Social workers are discovering that the slums have changed during their absence. In particular, the poor have become accustomed to a far wider range of social security and public assistance which, despite its inadequacy, belongs to them by right of citizenship in an affluent society. Social workers for private agencies have discovered that a majority of the poor prefer to deal with public assistance officials. There are at least two reasons: the public welfare officer is paid to serve them as efficiently as possible and without any sense of “mission” and, socially and economically, he is usually much closer to them than a master of social work graduate from McGill. (“Most of them looked on me as if I were the national guard,” said a former private agency worker, “and dammit, that was pretty close to the truth.“) With a minimum income from public sources and a grating awareness of their right to an assured share of national prosperity, the poor have little time for middle-class social workers who specialize in .freudian counselling sessions designed to help them adjust to their sorry lot-provided they meet criteria of religion, income and subservience. The poor have had a bellyful of this kind of “individual atten’ tion.” Today they want to learn how to organize effective political groups to explore the limits of their power.

At first glance this seems to be a nice idea to the board members of many private agencies. They understand it, in a middle-class reference, as some sort of adult education (civics courses for the poor). But the funds from private agencies tend to dry up as soon as it becomes clear that “social animation” can produce such phenomena as violent demonstrations by the poor outside city hall or slum surveys by the poor which reveal that many of their tenements are owned by Vaniers and other prominent families, not to mention the churches. As soon as an economic nerve is touched, it becomes clear that there is little ambiguity about the allegiance of the private agencies. For example, one of the newest and most helpful services in Montreal is the co-operative family economy association, which grapples in court with business corporations accused of bending the law to cheat the poor and which so far has put together an impressive string of legal victories. Despite the fact that its director was formerly one of the senior officials in the hierarchy of protestant private welfare sector. Its funds come from labor unions and credit unions. Contrary to the agencies’ repeated claim that they alone have the freedom to experiment with new programs, most of the important pioneering has been done by public agencies (the company of young Canadians) and private projects which are financed almost on an under-the-table basis by some churches and private foun’ dations. As the poor become accustomed to programs which “help them to help themselves,” to use a meaningful phrase that the private agencies have almost suc-

ceeded in ruining, they begin to demand that the agencies define their loyalties. Is it possible, for instance, for Montreal red feather to proclaim solidarity with the poor when some of its own revenues come from short-term investments in consumer finance companies? This was the most shocking fact disclosed by my own research, but the whole system is riddled with similar conflicts between actual practice and professed aim. (Can you believe the first-hand report given to me about the woman on a red feather board who wondered aloud, during a meeting, if “we all couldn’t talk about something else besides poverty? ” j “Suis-je composant du probleme ou un participant aux solutions?” The crucial question is posed in an important new book, Vers un nouveau pouvoir, by the Quebec priest Jacques Grand’ Maison. If the agencies intend to really work the poor, in directions dictated by the poor, they must be ready to face the financial consequences. (As I put it to one funddrive director: “How would you like to canvass for the company of young canadians?“) But if their primary role is collecting money from the affluent middle class to provide services to the donors and certain selected unfortunates-a selfhelp system for the middle class with relatively little leakage at the bottom-there should be an honest presentation of this role during fund-raising campaigns. It is socially dangerous for the affluent segment of society to believe that it is helping the poor when the poor know that the claim is a lie.

SELF-GENERATED 1968 Five candidates were nominated for the presidency of the federation of students: John Bergsma, Larry Burko, Vern Copeland, Brian ller and John Pickles. Members of the RSM called a general meeting in the arts quadrangle The largest student turnout and announced a dog was to be napalmed. for a general meeting in many months was told of the incongruency of people ignoring napalm deaths in Vietnam while turning out enmasse to stop the burning of a dog. The board of governors held their first open meeting, and federation presidential candidate Bergsma told a group at the village that he would not remain president if he could not find solutions to problems through proper channels. Admin president Gerry Hagey offered Jim Pike, mech 4A, a seat on a senate committee, and Pike refused, suggesting the senate should ask the federation of students to provide representation. Psych students met to form a faculty-student union; and about 200 students, faculty and administrators attended an open meeting in the campus center to discuss the unigov report. Unigov committee chairman Ted Batke opened the meeting with a speech that was his only one during the evening that didn’t find him on the defensive for the entire administration. He was questioned about his and other senior administrators’ rights to make decisions that affected the students’ IFdes without consulting them.

Batke didn’t seem to understand and the discussion sidetracked in a loud verbal exchange over Batke’s right to make decisions. “I wasn’t appointed by God. but by (admin president) Dr. Hagey”,

saidBatkeatone point. “And who appointed Hagey?” came the reply. “He’s the chief officer in the bvlaws.” said Batke who then didn’t answer the question, “Who elected them to be?”

1967 The board of governors meetings became one step closer to being would that reports open-admin president Gerry Hagey announced follow immediately after board meetings, rather than the usual several weeks later; and uniwats first frat opened its doors. The students for a democratic university charged members of the engineering society with destroying most of the SDlJs broadsheets for and university enrolment inthe protest picket of Dow Chemicals, creased by 25 percent. wrote about the narc and how to deal with Columnist Ed Penner him/her. The first lesson was how to spot a mountie in disguise:

Physical characteristics : A narc will look a little older than most students and will have a story about transferring here from some faraway university. His dress will be one of two extremes: either he will dress ultra-hippie under the mistaken impression that this will lead people to think he is straightarrow, or he will dress in tweeds and gray flannels circa 1957 to give the impression he is a highback for extra school teacher courses. Speech : Here is the real giveaway. Narcs always speak in a language they think is used by all pot-smokers and college students. Hence they always approach a group of suspect students muttering things like “pot, turn fascist on, psychedelic, administration, blow your mind, , trip.” Since no real students talk like that they stand out like a sore thumb. In conversation they

are equally subtle, saying things like, “I’ll bet all you guys are real heads and smoke pot all the time and have a whole bunch in your apartment right now, eh?” Stay away from people like that-they’re either cops or wide-eyed farmers’ sons from Elmiry. Intelligence: Mountie requirements are height 5’8”, weight 150 pounds, and grade-10 education-in that order. If you notice a student who can’t even pass psychologywatch him. There are no narcs in engineering or teaching for that above reason. These are Paid informers : the hardest to recognize. They are usually familiar faces who you couldn’t suspect. Watch out for right-wing types who suddenly become leftish and ask a lot of questions. If you find an informer, beat him soundly about the nose and ears. ’

sit-in was called against the bookstore, which had realized a in the previous years operation of $66,782-mostly from students; and village residences faced a $50 increase in fees.

hat I want to speak about mostly is the current situation in Quebec, specifically the recent events. I think it’s necessary, because I gather from the kind of press coverage that comes out of Toronto you tend to get a slightly untrue picture of things. When I was in Qttawa the other day, which, according td Lucien Saulnier and Pierre Trudeau, has become a red base for the Quebec independence movement, I picked up a copy of the Globe and Mail. The first page says: “Quebec lawyer lists 27 subversives; foreign financing charged.” The Toronto Globe and Mail charges foreign financing! The thing here is a speech by a character called Anthony Malcolm, chairman of the “blue-ribbon” Canada committee. What’s the Canada committee? Well, it’s described here very accurately. “The Canada committee was launched in march ‘68 as a publicity organization to combat the separatist movement. The group has about 500 members, including leading members of the Montreal business community. Companies represented by some of their executives include Bell Canada, Alcan, Northern Electric, Dotitar, charterNow I’d say that in terms of ed banks, insurance firms.” the composition of the Canada committee, it’s a fairly accurate representation of what Canada means to most people in Quebec at the present time. This character Malcolm was speaking before a women’s club in the town of Mount Royal, a very rich english suburb of Montreal. The Globe report says: “In an address brimming with names, dates, and figures....” it’s supposed to be a real expose of what’s happening in Quebec, what with all these separatist movements, they’re all training in Cuba or Ottawa or wherever it happens to be. He gives an expose of these subversives ‘who are financed from Cuba and the El Fatah and from all these subversive organizations. On page seven of this copy of the Globe it says: “Enough violence? The subversive side of separatism. ” One of the facts quoted is very interesting: “On the one hand we have the front de liberation de Quebec, which is a very strong rightist group, and which acts as the terrorist arm of the separatist movement.” Very interesting that a rightist group bombs corporation headquarters. And the guys they arrested had pict.ures of Che Guevara on the wall. By the way, FLQ also stands for the federation liberale de quebec, the Quebec liberal party-maybe that’s what he means. Wait, it gets very interesting now: “With and closely allied to the FLQ is the leftist FLP-front de liberation populaire, which is the subversive arm of the separatist movement. This latter group is at present involved in setting up cells throughout the province for the FLQ.” We have the leftist FLP setting up cells all over Quebec for the right wing FLQ! It goes on: “These cells are at present dormant and are only waiting for the signal to come to life and strike a blow for the achievement of their aims. ” The point I want to make is simply that the kind of press terrorism that’s going on, the systematic lies and distortion and slander against the movement in Quebec, is using the lack of information by the english-speaking people to make these ridiculous charges. Anybody who seriously reads this thing can see the contradictions.

d like to talk a bit about some of the backin Quebec. ground to the current_“trouble” What we’ve seen in the last year is the convergence in Quebec of two movements or two struggles that had not previously

been linked, that is to say: the national liberation struggle in Quebec against anglo-american colonialism, which originally was very much a phenomenon of the middleclass type intellectual, small businessmen, some state functionaries, as well as all kinds of media freaks; and also at -the same time developing, but not yet linked to it was a militant rise of the working class as a whole in Quebec. This has been changing in a fantastic way in the past year. The most significant sign was recently when the Quebec-based central labour federation, the confederation des syndicats nationaux (confederation of national trade unions), which has been at the heart of all the increased militancy of Quebec workers, came out at its recent conference for the unilingual language policy in Quebec; that is, that french alone be spoken and taught. That is quite a change, because for the first time a major workers’ group took a radical and clear stand, and it came from the CSN, which up to that point had not declared itself at all. The most significant feature of it all was that it was a decision taken at a delegates’ conference against the combined wishes and pressure of the national executive. In other words, it came from the rank and file itself of the CSN, of the working class of Quebec, against the expr_essed wishes of the leadership. Now, I say this is only the result of a process. The CSN, at the present time, is participating in a very active and militant way in the whole opposition that is beginning to express itself in a lot of open forums and so forth in the coming weeks against the new language bill introduced by the Quebec government; a language bill which would, in fact, institutionalize and guarantee the privileges and rights of the english-speaking exploitirig minority in Quebec. The hardest core and a key element in the whole common front that’s developing is the CSN. Now I said this was part of a certain process. On the one hand is a great increase in labour militancy last year and t,he increased politicization of the workers’ struggles. It’s important to bear in mind that what lies behind this-and without claiming to make an analysis that explains the situation-is the dual status of Quebec, in the sense it is on the one hand a colony, a national entity that has been conquered from the outside, which has had imposed on it a language, a culture and economic control. On the other hand, it is a capitalist country in which the relationships of the working class in Quebec suffers from a dual sort of oppression: exploitation which is a colonial exploitation and oppression, and a specifically capitalist form of exploitation and oppression. And these things are not in reality divorced or dissociated, because the same people who are the bulk of the oppressors of the workers in the pIant are also the english. In fact, the english constitute virtually 90 percent of the managerial class in Quebec, and constitute the entire property-holding class, the majority of which is, of course, controlled by american capital. And therefore everything-the kinds of complaints and grievances that are at the roots of the workers’ discontent and increasing militancy include not only what are normally class demands, but also include national demands, because it is a fact that all workers have to speak english in the plant. They in fact suffer a fantastic kind of cultural ‘alienation and oppression throughout their whole lives in the plant, in the workshop, in industry, and everywhere else. So this is the kind of structural fact about th&status of Quebec-colonialism and capitalism-that explains the converging of a national consciousness and a class consciousness on a very much more increasingly political and militant scale in the working class in Quebec. I could go on for a long time in a very detailed way, but just let me give a few examples.

A year ago, when they had a national conference of the ’ CSN, they adopted a report on political action called the second front. That document was probably the most radical marxist document to come out of an official trade union federation on this continent. It quoted from the monthly review and all the established left-wing sources, showing the kind of anglo-american capitalist control of the economy as well as the nature of the state in Quebec, clearly labelling it government controlled by and for the capitalist class, and for which a revolution in Quebec would be needed to overthrow it. A whole series of proposals for militant political action by the trade unions to install a real workers’ power were discussed and voted upon. Things which included, for example, the full-scale participation of the CSN in all kinds of tenants’ associations, citizens’ committees, involvement in political action at the local level, and support for what we called operation anti-congress. This has been happening more and more. The level of militancy in strikes, for example, can be gauged by the long construction strike that took place in Quebec last spring. It involved a very prolonged battle by the CSN against the local affiliates of the Canadian labor congress. It involved a lot of fights and bombings, and virtually civil war in some parts of the country, where the property-owners and construction owners organized goon squads to counter the CSN. Without going into more detail, a very sharp rise in the level of militancy occurred and in political action on the part of the trade union movement, especially the CSN.

A national

liberation

E!iil

struggle

he same thing has been happening with the movements which are oriented around the national question, the national liberation struggle. In 1963-64, with the RIN (the now-defunct rassemblement pour l’independance nationale), there were 300 or 400 people really involved-very small and marginal in terms of numbers in groups. Election campaigns always flopped. What we’ve seen in the last year or two regularly, and this is not an abnormal thing is 10,000 to 15,000 people in the streets in Montreal demanding very radical programs around the national question. As well in the movements which have tended to have only the national aspect, the actions have tended to incorporate a socialist perspective or a class analysis and perspective as part of the action. For example, the famous operation McGill, which we organized last march 28, came across in the mass media as lunatic, racist, trying to turn McGill into a french university. In fact, the basic program of operation McGill was only partly this, to turn McGill into a french university-for all the reasons that are obvious. But it was as well to turn McGill into a working class university integrated into Quebec society and serving the majority of people in Quebec, and not the ruling corporations that exploit the Quebec people. And it was very much a program designed to integrate a class perspective and Ei national perspective at the same time. It was officially supported and financed by the CSN. Many workers came on the march, as did Michel Chartrand of the CSN, who did a lot of organizing for the march. This is one of the few times you really saw in action the much talked about worker-student alliance. There was a real worker-student alliance around the university issue, a common worker-student demonstration in the streets of Montreal. Then there are the things that happened on june 24 this year. June 24 in Quebec is St. Jean Baptiste day, a tradi-

onal national holiday. In 1968, on june 24, that comedian ,ho’s in Ottawa came down to Montreal and provoked the lggest protest that ever occurred in the history of MonBeal. Since that demonstration-when something like 90 )ps ended up in hospital-june 24 has become a symbolic rotest day on the national question. This year, we in the front de liberation populaire organ:ed a demonstration. Of course, they announced beforeand that the parade would now take place in the dayme. You see, it’s clear that it’s the evenings that cause lots, there are no social causes for it, the people are all appy ; it’s the climate that causes riots to occur.

Wing

class mythologies

ou HOW, there’s a different level of analysis coming out of the ruling class recently. The big problems in Quebec come from outside agitators-Cuba or Ottawa or El R Tatah are organizing to agitate the people. The people lon’t know what’s happening, there are no problems in iuebec, no unemployment, no colonialism or anything !lse. Everybody’s happy, except for either the climate or he time of day or the few people who were trained in 1uba or Ottawa or Algeria. At any rate, when it came to the time of the parade, in ;he early afternoon, what happened that the FLP aniounced we were going to organize a popular parade of notest behind the official parade. The official parade is a long show of floats by a bunch If Quebec and american corporations which say: “Que)ec knows how to drink some kind of coffee” or “long ive Quebec and Bell Canada.” People are supposed to ;tand in the streets and watch this parade go by. What we organized was a parade of protest behind this official parade in protest against the conditions in Quebec -that is of the national oppression and of the capitalist exploitation. In spite of all the warnings about the riot ;quad and all th a t crap, there were about 10,000 - 15,000 working class kids in the streets who marched behind the official parade. This was not at all a student phenomenon-there were Jery few middle class people there, because they were all scared. It was only the working class kids and the street kids who came out there in popular protest that the national holiday of Quebec was being used by the english corporations just to advertise their particular wares. They were also saying that they too wanted to participate in their national holiday as a protest against the kind of exploitation they are subjected to every day. Of course, as an indication of the change of climate in Quebec, at one point the statue of St. Jean Baptiste was overturned by the demonstrators, his head cut off and used as a soccer ball in the streets. That scandalized the newspapers, but what it showed is that kids these days and the new movement is very much divorced from the traditional kind of nationalism that characterized some of the nationalist movements in the past in Quebec. Afterwards, horrible, horrible deed-they went down to St. Catherine street, the main business street, and looted, broke windows and so on until the cops came again. This is another example of the rise in numbers and size of protests in Quebec on the national question, and how it more and more is having a class character. Another example recently was the police strike-the situation is so bad that even the cops are going out on strike and, complaining that they’re colonized, that they don’t get enough money or as much as in Toronto. When

the cops went out on strike, there was a big demonstration organized by the taxi drivers, and which later on in the evening resulted in looting and robbing and everything else. Again, some political targets were raised against the stores, which are not simply places to rob but represent the people who are exploiting and robbing them every day. The moment the repressive and violent apparatus of the state disappears, these people immediately go and take what they think is their due. So in general that is the picture of what has been developing in Quebec recently.

Repression

by the state

the political result of all this is a situation on the one hand of a very polarized political and social situation in Quebec, on the other hand-and as a result of this-the m institution of very severe repressive measures by the state. This is the only way at this time of replying to the mass movements that are developing in Quebec. ow

It’s very interesting that just two days after the riots during the police strike, the FLP tried to organize a march-on October 10, a friday night-on city hall to demand the resignation of the Drapeau-Saulnier administration in Montreal. NOW it is normally country that you’re demonstrate.

assumed in a bourgeois democratic allowed at least to have the right to

The cops usually harass you before demonstrations; they arrest the organizers and they beat up the people on the demonstration itself, but at least you’re allowed the right to call the demonstration. Well, it happened that five minutes after we called the press conference, the police began a mass number of raids and arrests-not only involving the principal people involved in organizing the demonstration itself, but virtually every single popular committee in Montreal or virtually every committee or group in Montreal that opposes the Drapeau-Saulnier administration. That is to say, tenants’ associations, citizens’ committees, union groups: systematic raids were made on all these places the day before the march, all their documents were seized and the people arrested. Not only that, but the government began a campaign of terrorisation of the population in the mass media. From that morning in the radio and newspapers, after the statement by the minister of justic,e of Quebec (Remi Paul) that the demonstration was illegal-which means in advance it was illegalized-the authorities warned that if anybody did show up there, the riot act would be read on the spot. To read the riot act on the spot means that anybody caught in that area can be arrested and simply if it’s proved in court that he was in the area, he can be sentenced to life in jail. All this was designed to terrorize the population, to stop them from coming to the march. The march was illegalized in advance, 600 soldiers with machine guns and tear gas were ringed around city hall that night. One thing is clear: what these characters were claiming at the time was that we have to have the army, the provincial police here to protect the people, when it was obvious and clear that this demonstration of force was designed to-protect the ruling class, to protect the rule of city hall from the people, and not to protect the people from us.

When the police go into the headquarters of every single group that’s protesting against city hall and seize all their documents and all their files, all their printing machines, there’s only one purpose in mind there, and that’s to stop these groups from functioning, to destroy any kind of political opposition. Quite clearly they recognize how isolated and how threatened they are by the population as a whole, and that’s the reason they embarked on that campaign of terrorization in the mass media the day of the march. , Since that time there has been a witch hunt against every opposition group in Quebec, stealing stuff from all their offices, so that it’s almost impossible for any group to function in any kind of effective way. What’s going on is absolutely incredible, not only the fact that the company of young Canadians is being attacked, but now Trudeau is claiming that even the Canadian broadcasting corporation is the headquarters of separatism. Remi Paul, the Quebec minister of justice, recently claimed that Michel Chartrand, who is the president of the CSN in Montreal, was in league with the comrades of a group of 24 terrorists operating in Quebec. Ishould add a word about Remi Paul. This minister of justice of Quebec was a former political colleague of Adrien Arcand, the former leader of the nazi party in Quebec. There was a photo on the front page of La Presse, Montreal’s biggest newspaper, a few weeks ago, showing Adrien Arcand speaking to a rally in Montreal in support of Remi Paul. All around, the posters said: vote Remi Paul.

*se+-

Now this fellow is the minister of justice in Quebec, and the one responsible for inaugurating the campaign of repression against the left and against all forms of opposi: tion that exist.. The line which is coming out now is shocking even to the liberal bourgeois mind. What is happening in effect is that every form of challenge, of opposition activity-called contestation in French-is being called illegal and seditious, and equated with terrorism. They always mix terrorism and protest marches, leaflets, demonstrations in their denunciations in a very clear way; they’re all the same to them. That fits in well with the line that the Globe and Mail is taking, that the FLQ and terrorism are behind every form of opposition activity that occurs in Quebec. The implication-it’s not just rhetoric, they really do mean it-all these activities for them are now being made illegal. The recent search warrants, for example, are new. The old warrants used to have things like: they’re looking for bombs or something like that. Now the search warrants say they’re allowed to seize anything written or unwritten, or printing machines, that could put into the head of someone or could lead him to conclude that he should engage in actions which could disturb the peace. On that pretext, they’ve been seizing books, leaflets, anything of the sort, any ideas or documents that oppose the status quo. And they’re making it quite clear that legal organizations, simple forms of opposition that can’t be considered the same as illegal organizations, are the same as terrorism-all are now illegal and seditious, for which you can be thrown in jail. In brief, we are not very far from a police state in Quebec at the present time. It’s not a situation that was produced all of a sudden, it’s been developing for a long time in Quebec.

* from previous page

least a year or a year and a half ago, there has been an escalation in the repressive means used by the government and by the established powers in Quebec. I’d like to mention a few of the phases of this escalation: In the student sector, there was the massive wave of occupations in the junior colleges and universities last october. These were majority actions by the students, demanding a certain number of things including student power as well as a chance to have a job after they graduate, and for more university places. After the wave of occupations was over, and the kids were back in class, in a great number of places there were expulsions of all leaders, all the people they considered responsible for the agitation-with no due process, no hearings, no disciplinary codes. If they tried to come back to the campus, in came the cops. The same thing happened twice, in October and in january. In april, there was a massive purge of liberal and leftwing teachers from all the junior colleges-all those who were considered to be in sympathy in any way with the protests. Their contracts simply were not renewed. In my case at McGill, they at least offered me due process, press releases and that kind of academic bourgeois “impartiality.” But none of that stuff applied in any way. in the junior colleges. Many were expelled from university and blacklisted from the junior colleges, In one or two cases, there were protests; for example, at one college in east-end Montreal, they dared to organize a meeting and have an occupation. The police came in, and they proceeded to expel something like 45 students who were involved in the occupation and 10 teachers who supported it. These people who were expelled can never get back into a university or junior college, because they’re blacklisted. And now, at the present time, in about 85 percent of the junior colleges it is illegal to hold a political meeting or rally or to distribute political literature of any sort. And it’s illegal in all the high schools. If you just try, you get expelled. Another step in the escalation of repressive measures can be seen by what happened before operation McGill on march 28. For weeks before the march, and in a way that a bit exceeded what’s normal in Quebec, people who were passing out leaflets or handing out newspapers were arrested, hassled by the cops, thrown in jail. There’s also the case of one big rally we held a week before the march, when we found five police spies in the projection room at the back of the hall. Several rushed there saying, smash them. One person, who was chairman of the meeting, went to the back of the room, stopped the people who were talking about smashing the cops, and said, let them go, we don’t want trouble. He told the cops they could leave their cameras and go. The cops left their cameras-they were all scared, of course-and they walked out peacefully. Now, to thank that chairman for saving the life of those cops, the next night he was arrested by the RCMP, the Montreal police, taken to jail, beaten up at the police station and charged with armed theft. The point is that he was one of the leaders of operation McGill. This was done as part of a whole campaign which developed in the last week before the march itself, which was very similar to October 10, that is, conscious use of the mass media to terrorize people and to scare them away from coming to the march.Strangely, that last week the prime minister began to make comments like, beware of march 28, massive deployment of police forces, big stories about the arrests of the organizers of the march, talk about all the trouble.

new escalation in repressive means was ’ taken in august this year when Remi Paul A proclaimed the so-called anti-terrorist laws with a big huff. He gave this big speech denouncing these bearded types, m Cuban-trained agitators who sell their mothers for a stick of dynamite-a very hysterical way to come out against terrorism. He proclaimed these famous anti-terrorist laws at a big conference of all the police chiefs of Quebet. What are the anti-terrorist laws? Well, they include the power to illegalize or to stop in advance demonstrations and political rallies. Whatever is the relationship between an individual placing bombs, and stopping demonstrations and rallies? There isn’t any relationship. Clearly, they were trying to use the laws against terrorism and some public opposition to terrorism to smash the left as a whole in Quebec. The minister of justice made it quiteclear himself when he said: “If we had had these laws before, there wouldn’t have been marches like operation McGill, St. Jean Baptiste and operation alarme.”

and a rise in militancy on the left and in popular movements; on the other hand, the government is becoming much more reactionary in using repressive means. The same thing is true of the english-french question: the english themselves are reacting in an absolutely hysterical way to the whole thing, particularly since operation McGill. For them, of course, Quebec is on the brink of anarchy, revolution, communism, separatism-they’re taking over McGill, what’s going to be next? Bell Canada? In fact, the CSN demanded last week that it be nationalized. So there’s a real scare and panic towards the right. And this polarization is happening at all levels of political forces in Quebec. The next step in the escalation of repression by the government occurred just at the time of the St. Leonard demonstration in September. It all started because the ligue pour l’integration scolaire held a very calm, quiet meeting-intended to be such-to discuss the situation there. The meeting was invaded by .a group of english-speaking people who threw chairs at them, so that there was a big brawl. Of course, no charges were ever brought against the english-speaking people. Violence from the right is OK. Violence from the left everyone gets hysterical about. SO the LIS organized a march to support the original demands of the St. Leonard movement. When the march started, the riot act was read-so that no one saw or heard it read-but everyone there was potentially guilty of violating the riot law just because they were in the area. After the march was over, they charged in court three of the leaders of the march with conspiracy, violation of the riot laws, sedition and things of the sort, very serious charges carrying heavy jail sentences. The interesting thing is that it was the first time they

Operation alarme, by the way, was a small march and a few hunger fasts organized by youth in a working class area. Now they even consider a hunger fast against unemployment, a very passive tactic, as the equivalent of terrorism. It’s quite clear they intended to use the antiterrorist laws to begin an increased campaign of repression to wipe out the left, to wipe out in fact any kind of opposition to the government. The reason for this is quite clear: they feel they are increasingly isolated from the population, there’s a big wave of popular discontent, the system is incapable of satisfying the rising expectations of these groups. And since they’re incapable of acting in a liberal way, of giving concessions, the only way they can use nowand they’re certainly using it-is the direct violent repression of all the movement on the left, of all the popular groups that oppose the government. This is part of the whole situation of polarization that has been occurring: on the one hand, growth in numbers

had used such charges against a legal group and a legal demonstration. Previously they had frame-ups; for example, Vallieres and Gagnon, who were in the FLQ. NOW for the first time they’re saying: If you hold a mass demonstration in Quebec, even if it’s legal and no matter how respectable its organizers are-the guys charged at St. Leonard are extremely respectable in the context-you can face criminal charges in court, you can be framed, you can face life imprisonment, the whole thing. This is just part of the whole escalation of repression. The next stage, of course, was October 10, when they didn’t wait until after the march to say it was illegal; and after that, the witch hunts, arrests, raids. If there’s no massive public opposition to what’s happening in these repressive measures by the Quebec government, within a year Quebec will be a police state, indistinguishable from other police states that exist around the world.

The english press whipped up hysteria-there’s bound to be a massacre. This began to work to a certain extent. I was out speaking to a lot of student groups, and people were scared to go out to that march because they were a. fraid they would be massacred. . And by some occurrence, it was leaked to the press that the Canadian army would be called to protect McGill that night. This threat of terrorism in the air was to prevent people from going on the march itself. Of course, a large number of people did turn out, about lO,OOO-15,000, probably about half the number that normally would have come out.

This is Doug Fetherling, who writes his poetry as if the whole world was against him. You’ll find very few beautiful thoughts in his poems, but you will find truth. His first book, a paperback made up of three collections of his work, was published in October 1968 by the house of anansi in Toronto. Many of the poems have been published before in various Canadian and U.S. magazines and anthologies, but this’is his first complete book. The first part titled The United States of heaven (taken from an Allen Ginsberg poem) is a somewhat bitter view of his native country, written by an ex-Yankee. The ex in ex-Yankee is obvious as his opinions come to be known. It covers a fascinating variety of subjects from a do-it-yourself way of getting off on morning glory seeds to a somewhat re-arranged contemporary american folksong, all highly critical of the “american way of life.” The second part of the trilogy called Gwendolyn papers moves on through an account of a remembered love affair. In it Fetherling seems totally immersed in the

year of Gwendolyn 1959, recalling 59 thoughts and imagining 59 places. Oddly bitter, it is full of shattered dreams and images, yet manages to be very soft in places. The last segment of the book called ‘7hat chainletter hiway” is an account of a thumb trip across Canada. In his own words “being a 20th century bum requires either a strong will or a strong bladder” and the account he gives strengthens this view. It describes the people he met, the thoughts he had, the things he saw and liked and the things he saw and disliked. Fetherling’s work is definitely original but at the same time it is easy for others to identify with because of the simple things he writes about. His odd use of punctuation and his roughly cut lines suggest that he wrote these poems and immediately went on to something else for they are not stifled by over-refinement. In fact Fetherling’s view on- anything not absolutely natural and original can be seen in the poem Circus uprising where he says “is there no one else who gets seasick when he sees an amber wave of grain?” Possibly influenced by another natural writer,Leroi Jones, whom he mentions several times, Fetherling is good to read when you get sick of listening to critics labor over why the poet used this word instead of that one. Canadian poet Al Purdy in a prefatory note to The chain/etter hiway describes him as “crazy, unkind to his mother, erratic in behaviour and disordered in his life-but not dull.” This description could almost be applied to his book.

Records JOE COCKER! A & M SP4224

Lunches by Doug

- Joe Cocker.

After Joe’s last triumphant album everyone was looking forward to seeing what he would produce next. Cocker hasn’t let us down, his new album is like the first, excellent. Very few performers could get away with putting out albums almost completely made up of other people’s material, especially when the other people are Dylan and the Beatles. But Cocker has such a unique style that he gives other people’s material new life. Because of this he can be completely forgiven for not writing all his own material. Cocker and his group did write three of the ten songs : one of which is De/ta lady which was released as a single. Unfortunately in this album as in most albums The first two cuts are there is a flaw. simply a poor choice of material. Dear landlord, one of Dylan’s poorer songs, is done in an up tempo Ray Charles style and it doesn’t come off sounding that good. The second cut is Leonard Cohen’s Bird on the wire, a song which just can’t be done in the heavy rock, Richie Havens, Ray Charles, southern blues, northern England style of Joe Cocker. The album ends with a beautiful rendition of John Sebastian’s Darling

PRETTIES FOR YOU - Alice Cooper. Straight STS1051

Anyone who went to either of the pop festivals in Toronto this summer will be familar with Alice Cooper. It seems you either hated her songs because they were so ridiculous or you loved them because they were brilliant and satirical. As -you watched them throw live chickens at the audience and shot off flair guns you probably wondered what would they put on an album. The answer has come but it’s not really an answer just another question. Alice Cooper (the group’s leader) says that since they are affuent middle-class kids they don’t know anything about the blues therefore they don’t play the blues. At least we can be grateful for that because what we don’t need is another group doing old blues songs and claiming they wrote them. Alice also says that their biggest influence is TV commercials and TV theme songs. Well maybe, but you really don’t get that impression from listening to their music. Just what the music is’ about, is very hard to say. I think they have tried to create some new form of rock with a bit of the ridiculou3 thrown in. How sucessful they have been only you can decide. You may not like what they have done but at least they are trying to create something new and original which can’t be said of most things coming out of the west coast.

If the Johnny Winter concert friday night is any indication the freaks have at last taken / over uniwat. There, assembled in the jock building, were over 2,000 people who more or less patiently waited until eleven o’clock to hear a cross-eyed albino pull the blues from his voice and guitar like no other white man can. A heavier than usual atmosphere settled over the gym about 8:30 pm as the freaks sat down to wait for the concert, delayed because of equipment hassles at the border. The Stoned church a local group, finally came on about 8: 30 to pacify the audience with some mediocer rock, highlighted by a better-than-average bass -la__--

The introduction of Edgar Winter, Johnny’s brother, brought ,a new type of Winter’s music. Edgar, on sax, organ and drums proved himself as talented as his brother and together they were great to watch and better to hear. Especially good was the drum duet by Edgar and Uncle John Turner Winter’s regular drummer. Much of the material was new, taken from Winter’s fourth album, soon to be released.

The unsubtle passing of the pipe, the squashed but happy crowd, the standing ovations before the set was finished, the mess which was left after it was all over, right down to Winter’s choice of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny be good” as his encore. There were probably more satisfied people at the end of this concert than there have been in the K-W area for a long time.

To the artist the wall is the constant canvas for his graphic utterances the palette of his protests the graffiti record of his presence the wandering corridors of his very being a structure of ambiguous idea and purpose.

Art for Architecture, the exhibition now showing at the KitchenerWaterloo art gallery explores the artists concept of what a wall should be. The exhibition which is the gallery’s spectacular for this year involves approximately 33 artists, including such well knowns as Harold Town, Ton,y Urquhart and Joyce Wieland among others. The artists explore the possibilities of walls with massive pieces made in their own respective materials which are largely an extension of their regular work. In some cases where the artist is a sculptor he has used his sculpture idea as a wall. Others such as Merton Chambers (ceramic wall) have used modular versions of their small works to produce the wall size project. The best products of the showpas Michael Hayden’s floor-wall piece, which is programmed to light up in different patches and colors when walked on.

83-54

by Peter Marshall Chevron staff

The ‘dribble-with-their-hands’ warriors took to the court on tuesday night for the intra-squad game. The whites led by Jaan Laaniste, Tom Kieswetter and Paul Bilewicz soundly defeated the black team by the score of 83-54. The black team took an early lead of 6-2 but soon thereafter were outhustled and outclassed by their opponents. Jaan Laaniste had 27 points to lead the scoring and that total looks even better when it is realized that he did not play more than Paul two-thirds of the game. Bilewicz was strong at center for the whites collecting 19 points playing aggressively under the boards. Tom Kieswetter got 16 points, also sitting out about one-third of the game, and was instrumental in organizing the attack for his side. Also impressive for the whites was Dale Hajdu who got 7 points and played well defensively. Standouts for the black team were centre Dave Crichton, who hustled all night and got 5 points, and forward Dennis Wing who had 17 points and led the blacks offensively all game. The black team was hard pressed by the white defense throughout the game and had a great deal of trouble getting organized on offense. Their close-in passing was not good and they shot often from bad position and from too far out. The whites played a much, sharper, faster game using the fast break with much more success. When they awoke from the \6-2 deficit and realized that the game had started they ran up a 43-18 score at the half. The blacks came back a bit early in the second half but did not coordinate well as a unit and turned the ball over many times as the result of bad passes and wild shooting. Although it had its very sloppy moments the game was a reasonably interesting one with Kieswetter’s dribbling, Laaniste’s outside shooting and the overall hustle of the white team led by

On Saturday night there is a double-header here in the gym beginning at 6 : 30pm. McMaster plays Carleton in the first game and the warriors take on the University of Manitoba in the second game beginning about 9: 30..

The final statistics for the OQAA football season have been released and several of the warriors placed well this year. Tight end Don Manahan led the league in receptions with 26, one more than Eric Walter of Toronto. Rick Wiedenhoeft and Wayne Fox tied for fourth place with 19 catches each. (Isn’t it puzzling, however, that the warriors would have the league’s leading pass receiver playing tight end-a position with a great deal of blocking, something Manahan does not do as well as he catches passes.) Dave Groves finished second in passing with 1004 yards and 10 touchdown passes, the league high. He completed 49 per cent of his passes and had 17 interceptions, also a league high. . Chuck Wakefield was the warriors top runner, placing eighth in the league with 283 yards on 63 carries for a 4.5 yard average. Paul Knill placed third in punting and second in kickoffs, averaging 36.2 and 50.3 yards respectively, and fifth in converts with 11. He was 0 for 4 in field goals and three more were blocked. Gord McLellan was second in punt returns with a 14.8 yard average and sixth in kickoff returns averaging 19.5 yards per return.

receiver

The warriors were second in first downs and had the least number of penalties called against them. Two of the warriors’ biggest problems were their lack of ground attack and their ability to give the ball away. The statistics bear this out. They placed last in the league in rushing gaining only 670 yards on 240 carries for 2.6 yards a carry. They also led the league in the number of times that they gave the ball up on fumbles and pass interceptions with the impressive total of 45 times in 7 games. Although official defensive statistics are not available, unofficial records say that the warrior opponents succeeded in completing well under 40 per cent of their passes against the Waterloo defense. The omega trophy-the most valuable player award in the OQAA football league-was awarded to Dave Fleiszer of McGill Fleiszer led the this season. league in touchdowns with 10 and in rushing with 703 yards, nearly a 7 yard per carry average. McGill won the league with their 17 - 0 victory over Toronto. They will represent the OQAA in the playoffs preceding the college bowl.

The warriors skated off the ice at the end of the first period with a 6-l lead. Their first goal was a quick, hard shot from outside the blue line by Ron Robinson, . beating York goalie Allan. At 9:23 Gary Robertson scored from Bob Reade. York scored at 11:05 but that was the closest they came all night. Phil Branston scored an unassisted goal from the point as a York player deflected the puck into his own net. Maloney made it 4-l firing Robertson’s rebound past Allan. Their fifth goal was a slow shot which slid into the net from Ken Rick Bacon Laidlaw’s stick. ended the scoring on a one man end-to-end rush making it 6-l after one period. The second period saw York replace goalie Allan with Bill Holden and that made a lot of difference. .

The volleyball and basketball athenas open their league season today in Sudbury at Laurentian University . The volleyball athenas enter the season with an impressive record. The team has not lost a league match since december 1967 and has captured the Ontario-Quebec women’s conference of intercollegiate athletics championship for the past two years. There are seven returnees from last year’s championship team but four of them leave at Christmas for work terms.

and will no doubt pace the team with her strong spiking. As with every team, the v-ball athenas have acquired some outstanding rookies. Judy Cronin and Carol Melton (a math frosh) show great promise in their first year with the athenas. According to coach Pat Davis, we shall see a more mature style of volleyball with this year’s team. Instead of the standard team structure of two sets and four spikers, the athenas have adopted a 5-l pattern with five spikers to facilitate the attack game. This will allow greater flexibility in play patterns. In basketball, concentration will be on a pressing man-to-man defense utilizing the fast break. This aggressive style should

season make the athenas the fastest team in the league. For their first league game, the athenas must battle with Laurentian University, no doubt a strong team in the league. The b-ball athenas have as much potential as last year’s championship t&am in the eyes of head coach Sally Kemp. Rookies Pat Byer and Jane Liddell add new strength to the team along with five-year veteran Mary Ann Gaskin and four-year veteran Charlotte Shaule. Also back with the athenas is last year’s second top scorer, Patty Bland. With both basketball and volleyball teams as O.Q.W.C.I.A. defending champions, Waterloo will be considered the team to beat for the 1970 laurels.

irked by irrelevant incompetent profs

If the geography department was given a dollar a head for all its students who walked out of geography 101 lectures, it would have enough money to send our wonderful geography profs on a nice long trip-like to the moon, for instance. There they might find some dumb little moonmen just dying to learn about Haggett’s spatial interaction, or Losch’s hexagon models or the post-graduate field trip to the Bruce peninsula. The way the course is being taught right now, it shouldn’t be too long before the profs won’t even have to bother mumbling their lectures-there won’t be anyone there to listen to them. (Twenty-three kids walked out of Wednesday morning’s class-there was nothing better to do so I started counting after the lecture was 15 minutes old.) It seems that most of the lectures we had to bear with in the first term were completely irrelevant to what we were supposed to be studying. And when the prof did get back on the track, you could hardly make out what he was saying anyway,. Must have been the weight of 911 that hair on his head that prevented him from opening his mouth. We were sad to see our first prof leave (really were), and what d’ya know, we’ve got another winner. It was during the latter’s class that the 23 kids walked out. Enough said about the profs. By the way, I hear they’re putting B.A.‘s in popcorn boxes this year. A couple last comp!aints. Most of us, (there weren’t even enough texts to go around) ended up paying six bucks for a mandatory book by Haggett, which was about as helpful as a rubber crutch. Those who didn’t buy the text were smart, or else broke. You could have aced the mid-term exam by reading a 20-cent essay on the “new geography”; that too, being a required bit of information. Finally, we’re being soaked 11 doliars and 30 cents for this term’s text, which we’ll be studying for six lousy weeks. What in the hell’s going on, We’re not made of anyway. money, you know.

We are irked by your Iron Butterfly article in last tuesday’s Chevron. In our opinion, the Butterfly “made it” all the way. Your referral to between-song comments as “senseless mumblings” must have been given from an under-the-floor seat or a biased view. Maybe you were standing outside of the door. Even your Judy Mayham adjectives such as “hoarse-throated moanings” show a yellow journalistic attitude ever-aparant in the Chevron. Summing up the show openmindedly, just for contrast, I would complain of the length of Miss Mayham’s repertoire and praise the Iron Butterfly -for

excellent instrumentation of their original style. -Perhaps the elitist musical purists at the Chevron dig Bach, but his music isn’t perfect either. POWTIC My goodness! Music expressed personal

critic opinion

I really can’t understand why Mr. Klinck writes such nonsense about the Iron Butterfly concert. I really doubt if he even attended the concert. Mr. Klinck misquoted the bass guitarist. Nothing before In-a-gadda-da-vida was said by any member of the group except for the words “from us to you.” Obviously this article is his own personal opinion and he had no right to assume everybody felt the same way. The majority of people seemed to enjoy the concert immensely. Mr. Klinck should write a nonopinionated article or not bother writing at all. VICTORIA RHODES arts 2 Music critic

Re: your two music criticsTom Purdy (Chicago transit) and Jim Klinck (Iron butterfly). We three, being of sound musical taste and judgement; and sincerely interested in the progress of music in north America, are of the opinion that the aforementioned staff members are grossly misusing their talents by working as musical critics for the Chevron publication. Since they are so adept and qualified at judging the musical virtuosity of the groups (or so their articles seem to indicate), they should consider devoting their talents to judging the Tibetan mutant society pop festivals for musicians’ union dropouts. THE ENLIGHTENED MAJORITY After the deluge, what? Entertainment reviews represent the opinion of no-one other than the author. Nor does the Chevron have a pro-Bach, anti-rock bias. ‘.

Have you ever burned yourself? Not- seriously, but enough to hurt? Think then what it’s like to have a burning jelly envelope your whole body until death is a welcome relief. Think of the cry of the dying peasant.c The agonizing scream of death. The buring death of napalm. Napalm is being used in Vietnam in the name of democracy. Democracy in the person of president Thieu who arrested

his main political opponent after the last “free” election-an election which had no peace candidates. Democracy implies free elections, but the U.S. prevented the elections called for by the 1954 Geneva accords. But let’s not kid ourselves. We are no less hypocritical. Canada is a member of the international control commission (ICC). How has Canada fulfilled her obligations as a member of this peacekeeping force in Vietnam? We are supplying TNT which is used in high explosive bombs. We are manufacturing defoliating agents which destroy crops and upset the ecology. This is not some fact that doesn’t relate to use directly because Naugatuck chemicals (a division of Uniroyal) in Elmira produces those defoliating agents. This company and others like Marsland in Waterloo use the facilities of this university to find their personnel. Even green berets are knitted in Toronto. Not to mention locally-made metal connisters used in napalm bombs. Does this make you proud? Thus Canada’s image. a4 a keeper of the peace has about as much validity as the american role of the guardian of democracy. Fire kills. But fire can also help to bring peace. On friday there will be a torchlight parade starting at the campus center, followed by a rally featuring speeches, mimes and music. End Canada’s complicity. End use of campus facilities for war industry’s personnel. PETER ZAHAKOS arts 1 In spite Johnny

In spite of the fact that we weren’t let into the stands until 8:30 when the concert was scheduled to begin at 8 :30; in spite of the fact that we had to wait until nearly 9 :30 for the backup group. to play (the Stone Church were by and by better than the average backup group despite the leader’s Jackie Vernon personality) ; in spite of the fact that we waited around half an hour after the backup group left before the main show began; in spite of the fact that the concert was interrupted several times because of equipment failures ; in spite of the fact that I was so pissed off that I couldn’t speak by the time Johnny Winter started his performance. I have never seen a performance to match his. His singing was a gutsy as his guitar playing was flawless. I’ve heard it said that he’s among the best blues guitarists around and now I know that he is the best. Even his encore number of “Johnny B. Goode” was great because of that guitar. His warm humble stage presence is a rarity nowadays. The only thing to come close to him was the amazing versatility of his brother Edgar, who played (and played well) drums, sax, organ and keyboard. It was, in summing up, the best concert this school has ever seen. Thank you, Johnny Winter, for not leaving me pissed off at 12:15 on friday night, like I was at 10: 45 on friday night.

It has changed from a creative and positive experience into a business. As the university gets larger and larger it becomes more and more impersonal, like a giant and less and less machine, human.

An open letter to faculty and students : The war in Vietnam is still going on and Nixon does not seem to have a concrete plan for withdrawal. The Vietnam moratorium committee wants to see the war ended as soon as possible. For that reason, we are staging a second Vietnam moratorium, in conjunction with a worldwide movement, on november 14th. Two things are happening. Students are encouraged to attend their classes and discuss the relationship of the war to their courses and to the university. Faculty are encouraged to promote this kind of discussion. Those who would like someone from the committee to initiate discussion may do so by calling the student federation office. In particular, we hope they will emphasize Canada’s complicity in the war; the production of defoliating agents in Elmira, the sales of TNT for incendary bombs, and the $4 billion sales of material under the defense production sharing agreement, etc.. . .Some people think the war is not so bad. At the end of the day, 9:30 pm, a torchlight march is planned. We hope people will strike up a light for peace in Vietnam. The march will start in front of the campus center, circle the university via the ring road, pass in front of the Village, and end up on the north side of Columbia near the playing field. There will be a rally featuring speeches on the university complicity and a display with music These events will and mimes. precede the demonstrations and activities for the international day of protest, on Saturday november 15.

I must stand and defend the viscious attack leveled at my data 3B term project, processing fonebook 69. I might not get a pass mark if people think that there is anything really incorrect in it. As far as the computer and I are concerned, there is no such thing as the psychology department. At least, it failed to identify itself when asked to do so by Charlotte. Also many graduate students failed to identify themselves by not going to the phys-ed complex to get their ID cards validated. The directory information cards were at the complex. Even then, several names were rejected because the cards were unreadable. GLENN BERRY math 3B Jews subjected to horrors, but Rabbi condones killing

Rabbi Winebag, a lecturer in the series of talks “Pacifism: jewish correct or incorrect” started by reminding his audience of the horrors that the jews were subjected to by the germans in an appeal to our self-righteous and noble traits, but then turned around and said that one must kill to eradicate “the evil.”

Later, ir, a fit of rhetoric, he managed to inadvertently blurt out that “God is created in man’s image. ” So it seems. I wonder if these evil men the good Rabbi referred to were not merely others who felt the same way as himself; i.e., that God was on their side and thus all their actions were morally justified. Certainly both sides felt this way during the “great” wars. Hate mongers are always so damn sure of themselves but the gods they conscientiously refer to are merely bastardizations that fit their purposes. STAN SIMISTER math 1 Vietnam exposes

Thanks for professor Chaplein Morrison’s concise, accurate history of the Vietnam war. It is unfortunate that a historian’s view is rejected by the great silent majority-even on a Canadian campus-in favor of Nixon’s simplistic cold war propaganda : “Fifteen years ago North Vietnam, with the logistical support of communist China and the Soviet Union, launched a campaign to impose a communist government on South Vietnam by instigating and supporting a revolution. ” No wonder the majority is silent when the mass media don’t try _to expose the deception in that speech.

Oppression lunch steals campus centef coffee urn

The liberation lunch counter smells. The liberation lunch counter has smelled for quite’ some time, in fact, both literally and figuratively, but lately the whole business has become a little too ripe for comfort. You see, when the counter was started in august, it was intended to show food services that opposition to the closing of the campus center coffee shop had a reasonable basis in fact. On September 8, the masses returned to campus, and the coffee shop re-opened. Liberation lunch in its original form was closed, with about $65 left in the kitty. At this time, a coffee urn was ordered. Upon its arrival, the urn was to be engraved with a suitable inscription and donated to the campus center, so you and I and everyone else could have a cup of good coffee for a nickel. The coffee urn was bought and paid for with money from the original liberatio lunch counter. It was donated to the campus center. And where is it now? Well, where the hell do you think it is? Upstairs at the liberation lunch counter (i.e., the modern revisionist “liberation” lunch counter). And you know what else? They even think it’s theirs! Biting the hand wot feeds you, is wot I calls it. So there it sits, and it’s not doing anyone much good at all up there. It’s time the coffee urn was returned to its owner, the campus center. Now-while a few of us still remember a liberation lunch counter that was liberated.

The U.S. is determined to police the ‘free’ world by I.F. Stone Washington,

D.C.

Imperialism is an impolitic word. It is only other countries which are imperialist. One’s own is always engaged in some noble crusade. German imperialism under the kaiser was spreading kultur. The czars claimed to be extending the mystic sway of Moscow as the Third Rome, and their communist successors carry on in the same vein, albeit secularized. France had a mission civi/atrice, and Britain “the white man’s burden”. Bolivar long ago said that the United Latin America “in States “plagued” the name of liberty”. What has happened overseas since world war 2 is only an extension of what has long been occurring under the Monroe doctrine. The Greek dictatorship the sixth fleet supports is a Guatemala extended to the eastern Mediterranean, and the oligarchy the U.S. bolsters in Saigon in the name of freedom is no different from half a dozen similar regimes under the U.S. wing in latin America.

could in 10 years wipe out poverty, illiteracy, pollution, racial tension and much of the crime that afflicts the U.S. Entirely too much has gone into military forces and hardware, sparking little arms races around the world. There have been few armed conflicts since the war in which both sides did not fight with weapons the U.S. supplied. Of the total in aid since world war 2 $38.8 billion is listed as military-and all but $2.8 billion of that in grants, not loans. But, Congressional quarterly points out, aid labelled economic has ’ sometimes been primarily for military purposes : “During the 1950s’ for example, ‘economic’ aid to Laos paid for the entire military budget in that country.” A total of 78 countries have received U.S. military assistance since 1950. As part of this military aid program “some 10,000 foreign military personnel are trained annually by the U.S. at 175 centers in this country and at other The training inlocations overseas.”

If the new level for the next five years assumes an end of the Vietnam war, then it means a rise of 40 to 50 percent from the level just before Johnson sent in combat troops and americanized the war.

Richard J. Barnet in his admirable new book The economy of death concludes that the militarization of america is now America’s number one national security problem and warns that after Vietnam “there are waiting in the pentagon wings 13 major new weapons systems which will move inexorably toward production and deployment unless the juggernaut is stopped.”

U.S. troops continue to be withdrawn

(CUP)

Canada has long prided herself on being a peaceloving nation, spurning the ways of war and violence for the path of peacemakers and neutrals. On examination, Canada’s role in Vietnam does little to support this self concept, but rather shows her to be a consprofiting from the sale of the cious conspirator, weapons used against the Vietnamese people and actively using her position as international guardian of the Geneva accords to spy for the american government. The successive Liberal governments in Ottawa have paid lip service to the ideal of peace and made their ‘blood money’ on the side. Arms valued at over $300 million annually are sold by Canada to the United States. In the Star weekly magazine (27 may 1967) Walter Stewart reported: “I followed just one of the hundreds of defense contracts placed in Canada each year, and discovered how TNT made near Montreal wound up in U.S. bombs being dropped in Vietnam.. . ” “We are able to make these sales, and turn a nice profit on the rising Vietnamese death toll, despite .a firm Canadian policy against shipping arms to any war zone, and despite the fact that we as members of the international control commission in Vietnam, charged with, among other things, keeping munitions out of the war-torn land.” Government spokesmen defend these sales of arms as coming under defense-sharing agreements with

The U.S.‘s rival in imperialism is the Soviet Union, but it is a distant second in the power struggle. While the U.S. has 1.2 million men in more than 33 countries, it has 320,000 troops stationed outside its borders in four east European countries.

peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressure. ” In Greece where the Truman Doctrine started, as in Vietnam, the U.S. finds itself supporting armed minorities in subjugating the majority, non-communist and communist alike.

Without a major shift away from the idea of a pax americana, there will be scant resources left for reconstruction at home. It is imperialism and militarism which must be recognized as our enemies. The Pentagon is fighting a rear guard action on bases and personnel’ as it is on Vietnam, making no more concessions than necessary to appease public opinion.

“counter-insurgency,” i.e. social discontent by force.

Then, the total budget outlay “by function” for the military was $49.5 billion. A post-Vietnam level of $7’0 to $75 billion would mean a stepup of from $20 to $25 billion.

This is imperialism and it is expensive. A new survey by Congressional quarter/y of U.S. commitments abroad adds up the stupendous figures. In september: 1.2 million military personnel stationed abroad (out of total U.S. armed forces of 3.46 million) in more than 33 countries and foreign possessions. With them were 26,000 U.S. civilians, 350,000 dependents and 255,000 foreign nationals attached to U.S. overseasbases. There are U.S. military missions in 50 countries and 2,270 military installations overseas (not including Vietnam), of which the pentagon designated 340 as major installations. The cost is difficult to arrive at. The pentagon figures the cost of all U.S. military commitments overseas exclusive of southeast Asia’ at $15.1 billion per year. It puts the cost of the Vietnam war at $28 billion, or a total of $43 billion, somewhat more than half the U.S. military budget. Congressional estimates run higher. Senator John Sherman Cooper in a report to the NATO parliamentarians last november estimated U.S. NATO commitments alone at $12 to $15 billion annually and the Vietnam war at $30 to $35 billion. That would put total costs in the $50 billion range. That $50 billion a year spent at home

political role for U.S.

the United States. But it is not merely living up to existing treaties. As Stewart points out, “,The government is zealously encouraging munitions sales by private firms . . . Government funds also cover the tab for research and development projects, which will pour about $60 million into Canadian companies and universities this year in the unending search for deadlier weapons.. . ” The Canadian government’s hypocrisy on this issue becomes all the more obvious when it is recalled that external-affairs officials have revealed that the government has embargoed arms sales to “sensitive areas” such as eastern-bloc countries, Cuba, the middle east, India and Pakistan. Apparently, Vietnam is not considered a “sensitive area. ” In calling for a halt to Canadian arms sales to the U.S., NDP leader Tommy Douglas emphasized that the issue is basically a moral one. “It is the issue of whether I am prepared to sell a revolver to a man when I suspect he is going to use it to rob some old woman of her life savings. You can always argue that if I don’t sell him the revolver somebody else will, or perhaps he will buy a shotgun, which is more dangerous. But this does not relieve me of my moral responsibility. All you can do is live up to your own moral responsibility and hope it has some effect.” Not enough is the government hypocritical and immoral promotion of arms sales to the U.S. but it has used its position as member of the ICC to spy for

the U.S. in flagrant disregard for the trust committed to her by the Geneva conference of 1954. Gerald Clark, associate editor of the Montreal Star, revealed in may 1967 that 64 Canadian civil servants who served on the ICC in Vietnam are “functioning as spies when they are supposed to be serving as international civil servants . ’ ’ Tim Rolfe, a CBC Ottawa reporter who was formerly in Vietnam, followed up by saying in a broadcast that it was common knowledge that Canadians in Vietnam co-operated with the United States. Canadian members of the ICC, said Rolfe, “see themselves as american spokesmen on the Commission.” He said information from Canadians in Hanoi is transmitted to Canadian headquarters in Saigon, where two copies are made. “One is transmitted to Ottawa; the other goes to the U.S. Embassy in Saigon.” The interesting thing about these charges is that they were never denied by the Canadian government. Instead, Paul Martin admitted that information from Canadian ICC representatives “is properly used in discussions with other countries, including the U.S.” (Toronto Star, 10 may 1967) Several months after the Clark-Rolfe exposures, the north Vietnamese government expelled a Canadian officer serving with the ICC because his activities were “detrimental to the security” of North Vietnam. The Vietnamese people know full well that the Canadian government has all along shielded and connived the acts of aggression and intervention of the U.S. in both the north and south.

Well there I was sitting in the Fairview cinema starving to death watching Gone with the wind.

And that creep Scarlett O’Hara is grovelling in the remnants of a garden eating parsnips or something. I guess she was starving too. In a flourish of orchestral music and colorful photography, she stands up against the sky, raises her fists and asserts to the people running the snack bar at the back, “By God almighty, I’ll never be hungry again! ” With a cue like that, it had to be intermission. And it was. The point of all this is that even way back in 1939, when the movie was made, the script writer must have been concerned about the theater owner. I think its disgoozilizing. I was almost trompled to death by the fifty other people that surged at the goodies. And to make things worse, they ran out of hotdogs in about six seconds so we all had to buy 15 cent chocolate bars. * * * Its nice to see the new library addition will be hidden in the hill.

You want to seduce those suburban housewives into the small loans department for Red Convertible Loans, Let’s Drink Only Champagne Loans, Let’s Have a Little Fling While He’s at Work Loans. Q. Whoever has filled your young mind with such misconceptions? We go into Fawning Manor Estates to bring the services of a modern banking institution closer to the busy housewife. A.

them without even tickling a root hair. I doubt it. I think it’s much more probable that the apple trees will be moved to somewhere in the north campus where they will build a cider mill. Or perhaps they will go near the physics building so budding Newtons can watch the apples fall down and exclaim, “There is a magnetic attraction between the earth and an apple of the order of pi.” This will become known as apple pi, and will serve as the backbone of a new field, or should I say orchard, of physics. But the sad truth is that the trees will be buried. Physical-plant and re-planting director Billy Lobban has decreed that the trees will die of old age by 1975. And if the trees don’t obey Billy’s laws of nature, they will face capital punishment and die anyway. Hark. Security o*ffiEer*s have entered the office and are to be off to liberate some campus center property from the liberation lunch. I really wish the volunteers who have worked so hard on that thing would realize that it smells. I wish they would quit. I wish the people who eat there would realize that it smells. I wish they would quit. I wish the building could be aired out and the whole thing forgotten. I would rather see it die now, than be killed next week. Its nicer tnat way, and that’s the way us liberals like to do things.

WHY is the key answer neutralization and eventual loss of southeast asia. Rather, they see a Korean solu-. tion : drastically reduced number of combat troops, a ceasefire and a political stalemate where U.S. puppets continue to control the cities and easily defended areas, while the villages and countryside are left to the people. In any case, the U.S. has abandoned any hope of military victory. Why is probably*best answered by the Wall Street Journal’s decision some time ago that the Vietnam war was detrimental to the U.S. economy. The costs of empire began to outweigh the. benefits. Massive manpower requirements were contributing to dangerous inflation and dissent was contributing to a dangerous political situation. When he was president in the better-dead-than-red days, Dwight Eisenhower said quite clearly that the U.S. was providing assistance in Vietnam to protect freedom, investments and access to natural resources, not necessarily in that order. As long as military assistance meant mainly equipment and bases-products of american industry -the cost of empire was profit to industry and therefore acceptable. But the inflationary, political situation that resulted from sending in combat troops in a losing effort was too dangerous. That’s why Nixon wants out of Vietnam, and it will be with those terms of reference that he will answer the questions of when, how and to what extent.

The question is no longer wi// the United States “get out” of Vietnam, but rather when, how, to what extent and why. When is the question to which the moratorium seeks to force an answer. By not answering when, Richard Nixon is .making the answers to how and to what extent very important. It is not a case of withdrawing from a position of strength, because the south Vietnamese army never was and never will be sufficiently motivated to win the war, no matter how gradual the “vietnamization” is or how much equipment they are given. The south Vietnamese army had a large numerical and technological advantage before american combat troops were sent in. * * * There are only two possible formulas for “peace”. American liberals see an eventual neutralization under some form of international supervision . with eventual free elections. That was the original Vietnam solution of 1954-but the U.S. was able to break that agreement because those were the days when better-dead-than-red was a virtually unchallenged policy. But the neutralization would undoubtedly bring similar demands for an end to american involvement in other southeast asian countries. And this time the U.S. can’t use the domino theory-because the dominos are grey, not pink. * * * Radical analysts do not believe the U.S. government will allow

Let us be clear at the outset that we will find neither national , purpose nor personal satisfaction in a mere continuation of -economic progress, in an endless amassing of word@ goods. We cannot measure national spirit by the DowJones average, nor national achievement by the gross national product. For ‘the gross national product includes air pollution and advertising for cigarettes, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage.

heads, and it even includes research on the improved dissemination of bubonic plague. The gross national product swells with equipment for ‘the police to put down riots in our cities; and though it is not deminished by the damage these riots do, still it goes up as slums are rebuilt on their ashes. It includes Whitman’s rifle and Speck’s knife, and the broadcasting of television programs which glorify violence to sell goods to our children. A nd if the gross national product includes all this, there is much that it does not comprehend. It does not allow for the health of our families, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It is indifferent to the decency of

our factories and the safety of our streets alike. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It all0 ws neither for the justice in our courts, nor for the justness of our dealings with each other. The gross national product measures neilther our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worth while; and it can tell us everything -about America-except whether we are proud to be americans.
