to be reconstituted

Loyola

admit7 moves

MONTREAL (CUP)-The administration at Loyola College here has suipended letters of non-renewal of contract issued to 27 faculty members and, on the surface, appears to have defused the main element in the roman catholic institution’s current crisis. De;;pite the apparent conciliation, however, the administration at Loyola has not rescinded its severe policy against protests at the college.

In a statement issued late tuesday, the Loyola administration said the right of appeal granted to the dismissed faculty “suspends the effect” of the letters-de facto firings-issued december 15.

More important to Loyola faculty, the administration agreed to re-negotiate the membership of the college’s committee on appointments, rank and tenure, the body which would hear appeals.

Currently, CART is made up of administration vice-president (academic) Jack O’Brien and five administration appointees.

“The nature and constitution of such a reconstituted body of appeal is now the subject of discussion before the Meyer Commission (the provincial government’s one-man inquiry into the current Loyola crisis) ,” the statement said.

Dismissed- Loyola faculty believe that O’Brien was heavily involved in the decision to fire the professors, a move which faculty claim amounted to a purge of antiadministration elements on Loyola staff.

Concurring in the new appeals agreement were the Loyola senate, Brian Mulrooney, legal counsel for the association of Loyola professors (an ad hoc faculty group formed to fight the firings, and the just-ousted executive of the Loyola faculty association.

The four-man executive, headed by economics professor F. J. Hayes was defeated by a 108 to 28 vote in a non-confidence motion forwarded after the executive disregarded requests to place the firings on a faculty association agenda.

Although the fact was not ineluded in the administration statement, observors at Loyola believe the reconstituted appeal board will be subject to the approval of all parties in the dispute.

The agreement also received the blessing of provincial investigator Harry Meyer, who said he was “pleased to note the areas of agreement among the parties which will considerably facilitate my work.”

Mulrooney, legal counsel for the dis-

No date will be set for the appeals until the nature of the new appeal board is decided.

Withdrawal of the letters of non-renewal of contract has been the single issue in most of the protests at the college since students and faculty returned to the campus after Christmas.

It was the only demand made by 400 protestors who sat-in in front of administration president Patrick Malone’s office until ousted by riot police january 12.

Loyola observors -say the appeals and suspensions of the letters will satisfy most of the protestors.

The announcement of possible legal action was made by administration dean of students Roderick Shearer, who said Malone had consulted with administration lawyers over the actions, and said that a statement issued by Malone in conjunction with the new closing hours provided the justification for the action.

According to Malone, “recent events” at Loyola indicated current rules governing behaviour at the college were “inadequate.”

In a closed six-hour meeting monday afternoon, the senate and the presidential search committee recommended that Burt Matthews succeed past administration pre- sident Gerry Hagey.

The post has been held in an int’erim capacity

by Howard Petch since Hagey’s resignation a year ago.

Matthews, currently academic vicepresident of the University of Guelph was chosen from a “short list” of three candidates submitted by the presidential search committee.

The other two candidates were Ted McLeod, viceprincipal of the University of Saskatchewan Regina campus, and Henry Duckworth, academic vicepresident of the University of Manitoba.

All three candidates visited the campus late last fall.

There was considerable discussion in the seriate meeting over recommending Mathews. Many professors from the math and science faculties were opposed to Mattthews, supporting Duckworth instead. Hut Duckworth had recently withdrawn from the race, and they

The successful candidate will also probably have to deal with the concept of a national student union. With the d&solution of the canadian union of students, several councils have moved towards setting up a replacement body.

Burko, in dealing with the question at last years elections, when CUS still existed, saw a national union as a convenient organization for a cross-Canada concert booking agency.

and Matthew’s recommendation passed by one vote. Most of Matthew’s support came from the engineering faculty and operations vicepresident Al Adlington.

Matthews was appointed as Guelph’s first academic vicepresident in 1966. At that time he had been with the University of Guelph and its predecessor, the Ontario Agricultural College for 18 years.

He started as a lecturer in soil sciences in 1948, rose to professor by 1957 and was appointed head of the soil sciences department in 1962. He also spent a year as a post doctoral fellow at the Univei-sity of Oxford in England.

“Our primary role is to help If a professor students learn. wants to do only research he should be in a research institution,” Matthew’s praised Waterloo’s school of environmental studies expressing the idea that this approach to learning, whereby several modern problems were integrated into the school curriculum, was a step in the right direction towards a more relevant university.

TIHo to run, fo r council There will be no third place candidate in the february 3 federation of students presidential election.

Chief returning or”ficer Kathy Dorschner explained “since there are only two candidates running, it is highly unlikely a third position will exist.”

The two candidates are Larry Burko psych 4 and Gerry Wootton physics 4.

Burko is fairly experienced at running for president.

Last year he ran for the position- twice, losing to John Bergsma both times.

“The administration df the college has the responsibility.. . .to make and enforce such rules and regulations as may be necessary or desirable to insure the proper functioning of the physical facilities used by the college community,” Malone said.

Shearer said Malone could empower college lawyers to obtain a temporary injunction from the chief justice of the Quebec superior court to oust protestors from college property.

Ignoring the injunctions would result in charges of contempt of court. Contempt charges would not result in a criminal record, Shearer said, and penalties would be “minimal.”

The injunction threat is an administration attempt to thwart protests such as a five-day sit-in in front of Malone’s office, protesting the administration’s firing of 27 faculty in an attempt to purge the college of dissidents.

The professors had supported student attempts to gain binding arbitration by the Canadian association of university teachers in the case of nuclear physicist S.A. Santhanam, fired without stated cause by the Loyola Administration at the beginning of the fall term.

preside

The following is a series of questions which were put to Larry Burko and Gerry Wootton, the two candidates for the office of president of the Federation of students, and the answers (paraphrased) given by the political hopefuls themselves.

Chevron: Why are you running for president of the Federation of Sudents?

Burko: I feel that the Federation of Students is and should be moving in the direction of decreasing political involvement and increasing involvement in service functions.

Wootton: Many people have asked me that question. Actually I’ve been considering it for some time.

I’m reasonably sure I can do it.

Chevron: What do you think about those student councils such as Glendon and Carleton who think student councils are irrelevant and who have begun to talk about their own dissolution?

Burko: I think they’re being realistic because when the new university act is completed there will be at least thirteen students directly elected to the university governing body who will largely replace the federation as the student representatives to the administration.

Wootton: Perhaps they thought that they were ineffective.

I feel that student council here hasn’t been tremendously effective.

Council members have put their political positions ahead of their jobs.

Chevron: What are your opinions about a national student union?

Burko: The concept has been proven to be an impossible one. It has been demonstrated that such a body tends to become a radical student union and because that would not be representative of students, it should not exist through student councils.

Wootton: Its a good idea. The

biggest problem for it. It would

to get a truly representative organization.

It all depends on the awareness of students. If it tends to be high then the idea would be OK. Chevron: Where is it at?

Burko: The federation is at the point where it must move towards a large service orientation and away from a political orientation.

1 Wootton: The most pressing concern is people and developing a new concept about what a desirable personality should be. There is a sick mentality in today’s society. Everybody seems to knock the guys who have more than them, but given the opportunity they would do the exact same thing.

Chevron: What do you think of the americanization of Canadian universities ? What does it mean and what if anything should we do about it?

Burko: All one has to do is look at the textbooks and see how they are used to prove that this claim about americanization is true. This situation is good for the status quo but bad if we want to change. Unfortunately we can only exert a minor influence.

Wootton: I can see why Americans want to come to Canada. This is a much greater problem in the social sciences than in mathematics or science. I don’t believe that the problem is as great as has been claimed. Every country produces its own people in a fairly constant ratio. I don’t see why Canada should be any different.

If we limited Americans from the country it would be a form of discrimination.

Chevron: What are some of your “Petch Peeves”?

Burko : Registration foul-ups. poor orientation of freshmen by faculty in an academic Sense. I’m not bothered by an awful lot mort~ except for things which nrvd changes which can’t bc impIt>ContinL4ed

Wootton; The registrars office would head the list: I don’t know the people over there but the bureaucracy must be run by idiots when it takes so long for students to get a timetable.

PP&P has always bugged me, although they’re getter at removing snow than the city of Waterloo. I can only wonder about the caliber of people over there though when they design a fire door which opens the wrong way. Mostly a lot of little things bother me. The faculty are not generally involved enough in the university community outside of their academic work.

Chevron: What experiences have you had which qualifies you for the position and what is your basic platform?

Burko: I have been chairman of Homecoming twice, and chairman of auxiliary events for the board of student activities.

I have written t’or the Chevron and have attended several conferences of the Ontario Union of Students, the Canadian Union of Students and Canadian University Press. I worked as a counsellor with the Federation’s summer project, Camp Columbia. activities include My present

Orientation

70 planning

Orientation ‘70 is getting a headstart this year as organizational meetings for the week proceed.

Burko also believes that much could be accomplished by giving freshmen more information throughout the summer on what will be happening during their first week on campus.

In this way off-campus freshmen might feel more like coming on campus because they would know beforehand what was happening.

One problem already facing Orientation is the summer replacing of the floor in the gymnasium.

Plans will have it finished in late October thus prohibiting any kind of major concert on campus until then.

Gerry Wootton

At a meeting in the campus center last monday about twenty people discussed their views on what orienation should do for freshmei.

When the idea of having Some type of initiation came up, the general opinion expressed was that initiation was a dying tradition which neither made the freshmen like school nor made him glad that he had chosen Waterloo. This year’s program will therefore emphasize the idea of getting the freshmen to meet each other and become acquainted with the university itself through the usual social events and through more intensive course counselling.

Orientation chairman Larry Burko felt that a balance of the political and social elements involved in orientation was desirable and that ‘by not leaning too heavily on the political side nor by giving freshmen the idea that university is all parties, drinking, smoking and dances this balance can be accomplish-

WAR IS OVER

The opposition press in Canada consists of two areas: --the theoretical journal of dissent --student, community and underground newspapers.

Between lies a slag founded on the principles of safety and entrenchment commonly referred to as the national press.

The systematic gethering and presentation of critical information on the eventa ana forces which affect our daily lives remains an abandoned field.

The ‘geography oi the moon is more familiar to us than the roots of inflation, the crisis on the prairies, the forces in&playing in Quebec.

For this we can thank an irresponsible and irrelevant national press that has -mystified social and economic problems, fragmented the national consciousness, and character&d itself more by its ommissions than inclusions.

THE LAST POST is a project of a group of journalists. across the country aimed at researching, investigating and analyzing that which liesobscured, ignored or hidden.

It is a national news magazine, appearing every five weeks, which will report on the major topical events in Canada as well as the problems, forces and movements underlvine them.

It becomes a drag after a while and they should get paid for it. I don’t think that qlubs and organizations should be given any money tc finance ethnic groups which may be open on the surface but which practice discrimination.

The federation should not sponsor ethnic parties but should give money to benefit all students.

The clubs should justify themselves through service. The BSA should work out a better schedule so events wouldn’t clash as frequently. People running private programs and raking in profit should be stopped.

The board of external relations and the board of education should stop sending people to conferences when nothing tangible returns to the federation except the paid vacation of students who get free trips. The board of education has consistently failed to live up to its promises and hence private groups are having to do its job. We should make more money available for private efforts.

The board of publications should abolish the yearbook and start a bi-monthly or a quarterly instead.

Further the board of pubs should investigate better and more economical techniques for the Chevron.

“The present lack of enthusiasm for the editorship may suggest the end of a yearbook as such,” said Roulet.

“Perhaps people would get interested in producing something different for example, photos, prose, nature, and discontent of the university.”

Nobel prize winner George Wald will inaugurate the Hagey lecture series next friday in the humanities theater with a talk on the human perspective.

Wald, who has been a professor at Harvard University since 1934, is well known for his criticisms of present US government policies.

For instance, in a speech given to a gathering of scientists at the Massachusetts institute of Technology last march and reprinted in the Chevron may 30, 1969, he traced the present military buildup.

His conclusions are given simply as an imperative, to the US to make an about face and reduce the army to a size comparable to the pre-war level, stop the draft, and halt the nuclear and chemical-biological arms race.

To those who accept the present situation as the facts of life, he counters, “No, these are the facts of death.

I don’t accept them and I encourage you not to accept them.”

Wald will be encouraging dialogue from the audience in his talk. He will ,also be giving a lecture on his own field of-specialization entitled the molecular basis of human vision on the same day at 3 pm at the arts theater.

tries to solve inflation

by Ed Hale Chevron staff

Unemployment, inefficient management, and future university the basic enrollment, were problems discussed at tuesday’s board of Governors meeting.

The future for graduate students appeared dim in a report presented by graduate studies dean Lynn Watt. The report stated “In the acedemic year, 1959-1960, the total full-time graduate enrollment in all Canadian universities was 5,200, representing 5.1% of the total student population. By 1969-1970, this figure had grown to over 30,000 and represented about 10% of the total student population.

In recent years, however, some concern has been expressed about a number of aspects of this increasing growth in graduate enrollment.

For the first time in many years, doctoral graduates in science and engineering had been experiencing some difficulty in finding suitable employment after graduation.

The universities which are one of the major employers bf Ph.D’s have reached a position of relative stability in terms of their requirements for new faculty in these areas.

The major government laboratories are not expanding and Canadian industry which has never been a large employer of people with advanced degrees, has been slow to develop programs of research and development requiring such highly educated personnel.

This shortage of jobs has not yet extended to the humanities and social sciences because the requirements of the universities in these fields continue to grow.

The time will come, however, when this market will become saturated as well.

The University of Waterloo has one of the largest graduate schools in Canada with 1631 _I graduates.

An investigation was reported underway to examine the possibility of change in enrollment policy and procedure.

In an efficiency move, administration president Howard Petch was authorized to appoint a management consulting firm to undertake a study of the administrative structure, evaluate it’s effectiveness, define statements of the objectives, roles, and functions of departments, and to recommend whatever restructuring of the organization Operations viceis required. president Al Adlington said “No one has the time or ability to

Bureaucracy if7 campus

do this analysis-someone from the outside is needed.”

It was estimated that the study would take four months and initially cost $40,000 for the first stage, with additional work costing substantially more. Adlington said that they were choosing an American firm because they are the best and have had much more experience in dealing with universities . proProvincial enrollment jections predict a contradiction between enrollment requirements and financial resources of the province.

University enrollment is expected to double in the next ten years with an average increase of 10,000 students per year in that period, which is equivalent to an institution the size of the University of Waterloo each major financial year. However, problems prohibit the province from supplying the resouTces, since such an increase would quickly absorb all the tax income available to the province but the possibility of restricted admis-. sions is discouraged by a government with swelling unemployment problems.

Petch said “the university hasn’t responded to social necessity. The university hasn’t used He proposed the all it’s capital.” use of night classes and “university of the air” as two possibilities.

Petch also implied that a change in residence procedure which would allow each person to have a single room would alleviate the need for library study space for everyone in the University.

This is possible because of the surplus of accommodations produced by the inability of the administration to fill the new Village residence.

Ratification was given to the arts faculty report which outlines changes in degree requirements, the adoption of a nonmajor general program and a sharp increase in summer enrollment . General degree requirements were reduced from 16 to 15 credits, while honors program requirements now enable individual . departments to reduce the number of necessary courses from 24 to as low as 20.

Four departments which have already changed are: anthropology, sociology, psychology, and history.

The pattern that is developing is 20 courses in a single honors program and 22 in combined honors programs.

The trend toward a normal load of five courses a year for both general and honors programs is province wide.

The familiar resonant voice of newscaster Stanley Burke attracted an overflow crowd to the arts theater Wednesday for a talk on Biafra.

The crowd seemed pleased with his performance and reacted, for the most part, favorably to his ideas.

He feels that it doesn’t, was particularly and he that United Nations WFY secretary-general U Thant has come down on the side of the Nigerian government, even praising it for its humanitarianism.

The official position of the UN is that the boundaries of all member states are sacrosanct, and that rebellions should be suppressed at almost any cost.

Burke, on the other hand, feels that we are moving into a “tribal” age, when the present forms of government will yield to local, or minority, control and that this may be quite a good thing.

Economics 707 ignores. reality

by Bill Aird Chevron staff

The study of economics does not deal with the real world but is an exercise in mythology.

In his first lecture of economics 101 Bob Needam defines and confines the pursuit of economics to its “legitimate scope.”

“In the discipline of economics we are tying to answer the questions, what is produced, how it is produced, and for whom it is produced,” he says.

At this point what he doesn’t important than say is more what he says. He implies that the question ‘how have we come to produce in the way that we do” is not an economic question.

Unfortunately (or is it conveniently ), historians also tend to omit this question from the bounds of their discipline.

Thus a study which is necessary for the understanding of economics, just happens to get squeezed out between the division of disciplines (a very interesting phenomenon of the structure of the university).

With this question safely ignored, we are overcome with awe of this discipline which we cannot understand.

We are prepared to accept the economy as something eternal or at least as something predestined.

Needham then assumes an idea which suggests a structure of economic relationships and calls it “a model of perfect competition”.

Into this apparition he injects the myth of the great “invisible hand” in the sky, supply and demand, supposedly directs the economy for the goodness of all.

He also makes the following assumptions about the students.

Anyone taking an introductory course in economics has relatively little “knowledge” in the discipline.

Being a student he will be a passive receiver of information.

He will also be naive (believing that all things emanating from the front of

Abler’s

the room are true) and both because of his socialized role of student and his ignorance he will be rather intimidated.

Needham structures the classroom in such a way as to make sure that the student has to accept his position and role.

Most important of all, the student wants and needs a good mark.

A good mark depends on acceptance of the apparition with the invisible hand, which the prof has conjured up. Thus the student accepts, as predestined, a model of the economy which does not relate to reality.

From here on it’s clean sailing for the professor.

He describes the internal mechanisms of perfect competition showing how it answers the three basic questions. This stage of the process is called “learning the tools of analysis”.

It is largely a which the student period in struggles to understand the highly sophisticated jargon of a highly specialized technical cult.

The professor winds up his course by explaining government and all forms of imperfect competition as aberrations of the perfect system which exist because of the imperfect “nature” of man. The standard text for the course, Economics

by Samuelson and Scott, includes a section called “the Evils of Monopoly”.

Despite ‘the moral judgements of the introductory course, economics 101 is not a co_urse in ethics, nor a value free social science. It is, however, a complete mystification of the real economic relationships of people.

It hides reality in a false and misleading division of disciplines and looks at economic relationships as an obscure moralistic and idealistic model.

It does have a purpose though.

It is in the interests of the people who have power to maintain those divisions and perpetuate the myth of perfect competition.

Counsellors

in residences

Counselling: services has recently opened satellite offices in the Village and Habitat.

These are located in the administration offices.

Counsellors will be in the village, tuesday and thursday from 7-12 pm, and in Habitat, monday from 7-12 pm and Wednesday from 9-12 pm.

Villagers are invited to drop in to talk, even if they feel themselves can no one but

It is hoped that by opening satellite offices some of the formality and part of the awesomeness that the name “counselling services” may have for some students will be lost with the closeness of the office to the students.

Delegates to the versity press (CUP) ference clashed with regarding his study source,allocation tion.

in higher

e&ca-

After Stager finished his speech, delegates put ‘on a skit satirizing the proposed financing of the student aid plan by private and corporate investment of students as commodities.

The speaker, , professor David Stager, is co-author of a report which suggests new ideas to the department of university affairs on student aid. \ F “The plan would free the student from financial dependence on his family,” said Stager. ~ “This would perhaps improve some- students’ ambivalent ‘position of desiring to make their own decisions, yet being answerable to their parents because of their financial support.

Availability r of such a fund, at

Campus ._

the same time, reduces the pressure on parents to provide financial support for their children.”

Stager s@d the problem was to eliminate financial barriers to higher. education without unfairly increasing tax burdens.

“If we are to allocate our scarce resources .most effectively,” said Stager, “tax and private financing should bear a close relationship to the relative size of the external and private benefits from education.”

Brian Johnson of the Varsity (U. of Toronto newspaper) said, “The plan does not deal with the basic class barriers to education #which are contingent on an unequal income and taxation scale and environmental inequalities.”

Stager said the tax redistribution would be only to those who have the motivation and ability to pursue post-secondary education.

“But the report itself does not answer the basic problems of access to higher education,” said Johnson.

Stager said, “Surveys are being studied to consider to what extent the unavilability of financing represents a barrier to a student continuing to postsecondary education.

However the conclusions from the surveys are not financial difficulties as such, but rather the cultural influences, which prevent students from continuing to postsecondary education.

We did not pursue this issue.”

Summary description of the program is: l any eligible student-enrolling at any approved post-secondary educational institution would receive an advance equal to part or all of the cost of the tuition fee, costs of supplies, transportation, and room and board, for the academic year.

A l the student would file an application with institutions awards officer and a cheque for the required amount would be forwarded to the student ;. l the student’s application would state the conditions of payment commencing with the first employment year. ,

These conditions would include the percentage of annual gross income to be paid each year to the fund along with his income tax payments ; l the conditions specified would include the number of years required following graduation to pay back the loan:

resecwch

The interest rate which would be applied to determine when the graduate had paid an amount equal to the original advance plus interest accumulated from the original contract date would also be stated ; l students would apply for an advance each year and would agree to the specified payment conditions which could be altered each year ; l when the student graduated, he would then begin paying a specified percentage of his income each year when he filed his income tax statement. ’ l If the student decided to postpone regular employment the commencement of his payments would , be delayed accordingly; l When a married woman left the labour force (or did not enter it after graduation) she might be permitted to discontinue payments until she resumed employment, whether full-time or part-time.

Alternatively, a woman’s annual payment could be .related to what she could earn in full-time employment.

If she worked less than full-time or not at all, her payment would be based on her actual income plus a fraction of the average income for other women of her age and education level who worked full-time. l Records of the individual’s . payments to the fund would be kept in his income tax file. When he had paid an amount equal to the advances made to him as a student, plus interest accumulated at the agreed rate, he would be notified that his obligation was fulfilled and that no further payments would be required : l if an individual because of low earnings, had not repaid the loan (principal and accumulated interest) after the end of a repayment period, he would not have to make further payments; l initially funds would be raised by issuing .government bonds and later through the payments received from graduates, via the department of national revenue.

Johnson criticizing the plan said, “A loan system would put too much financial pressure on the s lower class student who could not risk the% loan. The class nature of enrollment would not be broken down-it would be strengthened.”

He continued, “the report ignores the conclusions of the earlier report (Aid and access) prepared by students in the same institute-that any new aid program must consist of-grants, not loans, and that the taxation structure must be totally revamped.”

by Lee Webb from the Guardian

America’s prosperity is to a great degree the result of its worldwide economic dominance.

What foreign traveler in London, Mexico City, Tokyo, Caracas or Leopoldville can ignore the American-owned factories and stores, the US banks, the Coca-Cola signs and the American goods that fill up the stores.

Venturing away from the city, US owned plants, mines, smelters, and plantations can be found everywhere. In fact, many giant US corporations sell more and earn more profits abroad than they do at home.

America exports about $30-billion worth of goodsprimarily manufactured products-and imports $30billion-primarily raw materials-making it by far the dominant force in international trade. In addition, the US corporations have invested more than $60 billion in mines, smelters, oil wells and manufacturing plants abroad.

Giant corporations dominate US foreign investment as well as export and import trade. They reap the benefits of America’s worldwide role. For instance, it is estimated the top 60 US corporations account for over two-thirds of all foreign investments and the top 200 US dorporations account for all of it.

The American economy is dependent on foreign investment, exports and imports for its health and prosperity because the giant corporations are dependent on these foreign markets.

In their search for stable and cheap raw materials, US corporations have been the primary force and the beneficiary in American expansion overseas.

Their quest for growth and profit has led them deep into the affairs and politics of Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.

Few people realize how important foreign markets, investments and sources of raw materials are to American corporations and thus to the American economy.

Liberal economists dismiss any mention of US “dependence” by raising one statistic US exports are less than 4 per cent of the gross national product.

The key industrial sector of the American economy depends heavily on foreign markets. By comparing exports to GNP, the liberal economists compare apples with eggs. The GNP includes in its accounting advertising expenditures, federal, state and local expenditures and all banking and financial transactions.

If we compare exports to a more useful figure-the domestic production of goods-we find that in 1964, 8.6 percent of American goods (not 4 per cent) had to find foreign outlets for sales.

The 8.6 per cent figure is for all industry and agriculture.

Specific industries, particularly those of high technology, are more dependent on foreign markets.

For example, in the agricultural sector over 20 per

cent of the products of American farms cannot find markets in the US and must be sold overseas. Other examples from the year 1968 are 19.1 per cent of all cost production, 14.8 per cent of all engines and turbines, 26.9 per cent of all construction and mining machinery and 14.0 per cent of all metal working machinery was exported.

N The great trend in recent years has been for US corporations to set up or buy manufacturing plants abroad, not just increase exports. The amount of sales

by U.S. corporations abroad is enormous.

In 1964 for instance while the U.S. exported only $24billion in goods, 1investments abroad either from direct ownership of factories or through equities produced approximately $143-billion worth of goods sold overseas. (These figures as others above, are from “The Age of Imperialism “by Harry Magdoff, Monthly Re-

if works

view Press, 1969).

In other words American corporations were dependent on foreign markets to buy approximately $186billion worth of their production in just one year. Magdoff estimates that this foreign market is approximately 40 per cent of the domestic market.

Thus U.S. corporations depend on overseas markets for their sales perhaps ten times more than the 4 per cent figure liberal economists throw at us all the time.

In fact, a growing percentage of American corporations were forced to earn either half their profits or sales from foreign operations.

In 1961, for example, Yale and Towne earned 80 per cent of its profits from abroad and the Aluminum Corp. of America got 65 per cent of its income from abroad.

This business pays off. In 1964. over 22 per cent of U.S. manufacturing profits came from their foreign operations, U.S. investments overseas have been so profitable (to the corporation) that investments abroad as a percentage of total U.S. investments each year have risen rapidly,.

In 1957, investments abroad were 8 per cent of the total. By just 1965, investments abroad had grown to 17.3 per cent of the total.

Furthermore, the U.S. is also tdependent on foreign sources of supply for most of the raw material its economy needs. Steel can’t be made without manganese.

The only countries with sufficient deposits besides China and the U.S.S.R. are India, Gabon and South Africa. The same situation prevails with most of the other critical raw materials.

The mineral yearbook for 1963 computed how much of each mineral needed by U.S. industry had to be imported.At the top of the list was the important metal chromium of which 100 per cent had to be imported, 98 per cent of cobalt, 94 per cent of manganese, 86 per cent of nickel, 85 per cent of bauxite and 78 per cent of tin had to be imported, among other materials.

Another study surveyed the entire’ raw material situation, revealing that in 39 commodities critical to the American’ economy more than 80 per cent had to be imported. In only 23 commodities of the 97 commodities surveyed could the U.S. be called self-sufficient.

Corporate investment and foreign policy must of course be closely linked to assure politically secure and cheap sources of these raw materials. Besides manganese, the only place the U.S. can get chromium from is either South Africa or Rhodesia.

In many ways America’s worldwide diplomatic and military expansion is a result of the worldwide expansion of American corporations.

Their constant search for markets, investments and raw materials moves the U.S. deeper and deeper into the political life of everynation in the world.

Env studies

Feeble attempt

by Bill Sheldon Chevron staff

Democracy, that skeleton in every university closet, is starting to make an appearance in the division of environmental studies. The process however is by no means complete.

Student faculty committees have been set up on two levels and a constitution for the governing of the division has been written and will be presented at the next meeting of the senate.

The division is made up of the planning, geography and mandepartments and environment the school of architecture.

For several years, students have been serving on various committees particularly in the geography and planning departments, while they were still within the faculty of arts. The experience was frustrating, *however, as they were seldom listened to and action was never taken on any of their- complaints.

Professors too often complained about not being able to get anything done within the very large and dogmatic faculty of arts.

With the formulation of the division came fresh, new promises of democratization and student participation.

The division, which was only started last summer, is small in number.

Student participation in governing the division would be easy to arrange.

As the students returned from vacation, demands, or rather requests for more student participation were once again put forth.

For the most part these requests were welcomed with open arms.

Some departments had some trouble finding students who were interested in filling the new posts.

The school of architecture came out strongly against any role for the students.

Nevertheless, within two months of registration, student-faculty committees were functioning in all departments.

The committee in the department of planning is a good example. It consists of eight students (two from each undergraduate year) and two faculty.

It handled matters such as new courses, course problems (content and presentation) and acted generally as a liason between students and faculty and. administrators.

The committee is purely an advisory body but despite this, prompt action was taken on all of its proposals.

Such is the case with all of the other departmental committees.

Tony Piluso, a fourth year planning student who has worked on various committees for the past three years commented, “Although these committees are only advisory, they are as effective as they would be if they really had power. ” Aside from the normal affairs of the committees, the members also worked with administrators on the writing of a constitution for the division. The constitution as it is now set up consists of two _ _ main bodies-the _ . . . council and the executive committee.

The council is the supreme governing body and sets policy within the division.

It may reprimand the executive for acting outside policy set but the executive is not responsible to the council. The council has fifty-two members.

There are sixteen administrators from outside the division ranging from the chief librarian to the president himself. There are twenty-four faculty and administrators from within the division.

Students have twelve representatives.

The functions of the executive committee are “to consider any question related to policy, the administration or the general well being of the division.”

Policy must, however, -be ratified by the council.

Some of its responsibilities are financing, budgets, capital needs and organizational and academic relationships within the division.

The executive committee has nine members all of which are administrators.

All committees below the two main ones report to the executive and not to the council.

The third year planning delegate, Rick Page stated after the meeting, “The university is here supposedly for the sake of the student, not for petty power plays by administrators.

The whole idea of things happening at a university that don’t affect students is an absurd fallacy.”

Following this decision the students were asked to leave while the executive made its decision in private. The decision was as follows; “any member of the council may request permission of the chairman of ,the executive committee to attend a meeting of the committee in order to discuss a specific item on the agenda. Such a request shall be in writing.”

THE FUTURE BUILDER

What

will it do for you?

How does

it work?

BIB stands for Biographical Inventory , Blank, a multiple-choice inventory of auto-biographical questions relating to your own past experience.

The BIB is about you and your career. It consists of a question booklet containing 520 questions about your past, ,and an answer booklet. The answer boqklet contains two pages which resemble an expanded application form, and three pages of item options for the 520 questions.

It is the result of research which began thirty years ago, when psychologists for the U.S. Armed Services found that a BIB was the single best predictor of individual behaviour and occupational success.

Recent applications have included intensive work by,NASA and the Peace Corps.

BIB means

REPORT

By completing it and permitting the results to be used in a Canadian research program, you will obtain a personal, confidential counselling report, which will be compiled by the Human Studies Foundation and mailed directly to you. This report will compare your occupational interests with those of persons who have succeeded in the following fields: l Human Sciences (eg. psychologist) l Hard Sciences (eg. chemist) l Physical Activity (eg. law enforcement officer) l Social Welfare (eg. social worker) l Artistic-Literary (eg. music teacher) l Business Detail (eg. banker) l Sales (eg. real estate broker) l Verbal (eg. lawyer). Depending on your own results you may also receive se’parate advice on your probabilities of success in the following areas: l Agricultural & Cutdoor l Technical Sales l Scientific Research l Scientific Creativity l Genl Sales Engineering l Research Engineering eral Engineering l Management Effectiveness l Management Level l Specialization Level l Occupational Level.

This service costs you $5.00 which is remitted Foundation and used to help pay for research.

GALT-CNS,---A Guelph man was charged tuesday with using a Chargex card to impersonate a medical doctor.

Anthony R.E. Law of Glasgow street Guelph, said through counsel during his hearing, that he received the credit card in the mail.

The name on the card was Dr. Arithony Laws.

Since Law had identification similar to the doctor’s, he got the idea of finding out what it was like to be treated as a doctor.

He was arrested in the parking lot of South Waterloo Hospital in Galt, Dec. 28, after having passed

himself off in the hospital as L)r.

Laws.

Court was told that the accused did not attempt to visit or treat any patients in the hospital, but did tour the premises and introduced himself under the assumed name which he also tried earlier in the day at the University of Waterloo.

Law pleaded guilty to the charge of impersonation and was fined fifty dollars. As he was handing down the fine, judge J.R. Kirkpatrick told Law, “We don’t accept Chargex cards.”

And, if you charge but don’t pay the full bill within a month the bank starts charging you interest-at the usurious rate of 12 to 18 percent a year, depending both on your bank and your credit rating.

But credit ratings-one’s ability to pay-is meaning less and less to the sponsoring banks of the Chargex scheme, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Royal Bank, Banque Canadienne Nationale and the Toronto Dominion.

They sent cards to virtually every resident of the Vancouver area, giving even the poorest risks among them rock-bottom cash credit of $300 through the cards.

But why Chargex?

Banks sell one commodity-debt.

It’s a multi-million~dollar business in Canada, and not only for these banks.

All pay-as-you-play schemes are the same extension.

Keep people broke, in debt, and constantly consuming, so their cash continues to flow in to the ever-hungry bill-dispensing computer which unswervingly cranks out monthly bills to be paid.

I leave you to your own devices for five minutes and you man-. age to make a mess of things. Well I’m back now and you can heave a sigh of relief. I know, your problems probably run something like this: faculty and administrative types have you up against the wall; your government investment, pardon me loan, is both miniscule and late; the campus tommies are asking you questions no sane man would consider, and worst of all, your chick is about to join Women’s Liberation.

One at a time you say, if you really must remind me.

Reason, the prostitute of academia, begs me to describe the dilema and clear away these cobwebs. Femininity, representing the most attractive choice, hypnotizes me immediately.

Listen closely then, as 01’ Penner reveals all. Females, through vanity, (an innate characteristic subdivide themselves rapidly; however, there are four main categories at dear old Uniwat.

Generalizing mercilessly, they are as follows: THE JANE COLLEGE: generally noticed in the Arts coffeeshop, or at a Village function, this bird flits about under several layers of Blush On. These coquettes relish the prospect of listening to yet another’ sports story and never pass up an opportunity to blush at obscenities.

Money, kids, clothes and money are only a few of the high points to which she will soar in her life time.

THE JOCKETTE as opposed to the coquette:these handsome Spartan misses are the offspring of the physed complex (a Freudian sexual aberration) and rarely leave this milieu other than to go to dances or to rah-rah.

Bastions of Victorian modesty that they are, these maudlin maids altruistically choose, for the rest of the female populace, private shower stalls over a sauna bath in order to maintain a high moral standard by thwarting decadence resulting from public nudity. A good marriage prospect for the moneyminded male, this bird can always pick up a couple of bucks giving dance lessons after retirement from active duty.

THE PSYCHEDELIQUE: Most commonly found in the campus centre between the hours of 9 am and 9 am, this lively work of plastic falls prey to none of the pruderies germain to other members of her sex. Showing superhuman diversity in her vernacular, she plaintively coos such endearments as ‘freak out, bummer and/or . drag’. This catchphrased kid may be called upon at any time to publicly debate the relative merits of strychnine over speed, and is versatile enough to take either side. Definitely a Sally Ann special for anyone contemplating bead-making as a lifetime proposition.

THE INTELLECTUAL: Rumoured to exist on some campuses, few representatives have ever surfaced at Uniwat.

However, there has been some evidence of the presence of her quasi-counterpart-the Women’s Liberationist.

Recently traces of her are scant, owing to a profound shortage of knitting needles in the Waterloo area.

All males beware-beware of any girl who champions the cause of Women’s Liberation.

Avoid her like you would avoid the plagueno, stronger yet, avoid her like you would avoid the cops if you were carrying some of Mexico’s finest. Originated as a movement to urge women to consider their role in society, it gradually matured into a fraternity for frustrated females.

Using Lessing’s The Golden Notebook as a starting point and digressing rapidly, they soon discerned that the best way to stop being a traditional female is to become a man. This nihilistic answer to the 4H club, places all faith in the term ‘chauvinist’, which does not, it would seem, describe a bellicose patriot after all. All in all a good marriage prospect for the slightly effeminate middle class male who needs a husband.

And what about the true died-in-the-wool individual you say?

And Penner says ‘Yes, what about her?’ There ain’t no such animal my friends. And don’t let anyone tell that there is. True feminine individuality died in the old west when the last grey haired american mom was scalped by injuns (after her Colts jammed, of course. ) No siree Joe Namath, there ain’t no chance of any of us freedom loving males happening on some female who will be just like good 01’ mom and Raquel Welch combined.

But take heart, for the choice is fourfold, and variety is as good as freedom anytime. After all, in the pecking order everybody’s gotta *have someone to shove around.

Western Admin. dismiss Anning security poke LONDON (Special) The Anning Security Police were dismissed by the University of Western Ontario last week as a result of pressure applied by a student group called the AntiAnning Committee.

Opposition to the presence of the Anning forces on campus arose as a result of its requent involvement in strikebreaking activity.

Since its inception in 1963 the force has helped nullify thirty-four strikes throughout Ontario.

Last summer the organization hired students as scab labour at a factory in Toronto.

The student council at the University of Toronto plus some members of the. Toronto Student

movement then joined the picket line, but could not stop the scabbing.

The chairman of the AntiAnning Committee, Dave Medd said that the Anning workers get a bonus or “incentive pay” if they succeed in breaking the strike in which they are involved.

Ruth Baldwin, a member of the committee said that hiring “professional scabs” is indicative of the class position fostered by the university.

She said Board of, Governors member Walter Blackburn, who is also publisher of the London Free Press has hired Anning Security personnel at his newspaper.

‘The Politics /

by Stewart Canadian

of Comics

saw university

If you are given to believing that large-scale plots are being formed to oppose social change-you might turn very quickly to the daily newspapers for proof.

Not to the news or editorial pages, prime candidates though they might be for such a theory, but to the comic section.

Almost unanimously, the daily and coloured weekend comic strips have found some way to -attack student radicals and the hippe sub-culture over the last year. While of ten supporting the war in Vietnam and mirroring the class distinctions of north America.

And there are some reasons why it’s not so very funny.

Buz Sawyer, Terry and the Pirates, Li’l Abner, Apartment -3-G, Smidgens, Flintstones, Wizard of Id, On Stage and of course Dick Tracy are a few of the common strips that have had their turn, sometimes many turns, attacking the two dissident groups.

While hippies may get constant barbs thrown at them, Smidgens for one is always upset that they’ve picked his flowers to give away or that they smell so bad, the real attacks are saved for the radicals.

And, in fact, those attacks have been so common that it’s hard to put down to coincidence just because one believes there’s no conscious plot.

Indeed, there is some evidence to suggest that a plot is closer at hand than one might think.

In 1966 the IJnited States’ leading comic strip writers were all summoned to a meeting with state department officials.

The officials pointed out to them that they had an important part to play in formulating U.S. public opinion on Vietnam. They were then asked to help support this policy.

There was very little dissent expressed at the meeting.

But this hardly explains their united stand on the wider aspects of the attack against social dissenters.

Actually the explanation is closer to hand.

The comics are searching for stories based on the more unusual or exceptional things that pass by one’s life, for stories based on the bigger news events of the day, and for subjects it can ridicule.

Comic writers on the average are of course just that-an average group of people endowed with a little more creativity in a particular field.

But when it comes to social consciousness and awareness there’s no reason why they should be any different than the kind of people they work with-and the kind of neighbors their salaries place them beside-and indeed they’re not.

Al Capp responded violently on a recent panel show to the suggestion that he’s changed from the anti-right political stance he’d shown a few decades earlier -that he’d gone over.

“When american democracy was threatened by extremism from the right-by isolationism and conservatism -1 attacked the right; now america is challenged by extremism from the left and I’ll attack it and expose it just as vehemently,” Capp said.

How much more representative a statement could possibly be collected from a

press

know that they really regret

it.

@We must realize that younger people, even faculty, are led astray but most will return if handled firmly. owe must overlook occasional extralegal action on the part of the such dirty underhanded opposition.

person of Capp’s economic and social position? Radical positions are attacked not on content but just for being radical.

Capp wraps his attack on the student activists and hippie groups up in one group-Students Wildly Indignant about Neerly Everything.

Swine for short.

The SWINE, who are always dressed poorly, and carrying meaningless signs, who have a constant entourage of flies and of course smell, allow Capp to include his attack on political activism and non-conformist youth cultures in one great parry of his pen.

They march anywhere, always without reason, and are given to the crudest inconsistencies-Capp’s main point.

Carrying signs labelled “Non-violence, ” they will be violent-demanding better university education they have either never been to classes or are dropouts-calling for distribution of private property to the people they keep it all themselves or destroy it and of course, means of producing more the goods.

Apartment 3-G has been much more subtle than Capp-a man who hardly seems capable of subtlety.

The comic strip about three young women living in an apartment together has just finished a series that infriendly next-door volved the girls’ neighbor and confrere-Professor Papagoras (subtle name, eh? ) Professor Papagoras had just become acting president of his university when the local underground paper threatened to publish a picture of him \

with his arm around one of the 3-G girls. 6 The incident was originally harmless of course-but you know how pictures can look.

Papagoras stands firm through this and further trials though he does lose his calm just once when he strikes a student, who had been previously attacking him in a demonstration, and hospitalizes the fellow.

During the crisis Papagoras’ young assistant, who trusted and respected the underground journalists at first, comes to learn that high-sounding motives often hide very low goals and sneaky methods.

Coming to his senses he is finally able not only to bring the editors of the underground magazine to justice, but also the unscrupulous political agitator who was really behind the whole thing from the beginning.

The lessons that can be learned from this one “comic” strip series are un/ limited. @Good ideals, even when they are truly believed by most involved, are no excuse for any‘ kind of extra-legal action because there are unscrupulous political agitators really manoeuvering the scene.

OWe must not hesitate to attack those individuals who preach radical change ven when it seems to make sense because there are deeper things hiding in the shadows.

OWe must understand when the authorities are driven to violent action and

.

“We

must

understand

when

OWe must remember that radical actions actually stop the changes the liberals wanted to make because they are busy doing battle and must give no ground.

It tends to all seem fairly unimportant-hidden away in the- back sections of our newspapers, but it isn’t really so.

These comics will be part of the overall communication process that will entrench in people’s minds these views of what the new movements are all about.

Combined with similar distortions on the news pages and editorial pages, the comics will be the method by which people are turned against even listening to the activists or the youth subculture.

It wouldn’t take any conscious plot -not so long as this kind of distoration so thoroughly-automatcan happen ically .

The comics of course have their own contradictions.

It’s inevitable because they take a liberal stance.

Smidgens is a good example.

Between complaining about the hippies the strip is constantly commenting on the alienation of modern life-of the common man’s feeling of uselessness.

But no analysis is presented-there are no suggestions that there are real reasons for this situation or real cures.

Like the other sections of the paper, the comics limit themselves to commentary on the phenomenal aspects of our life and its problems. They never seek the roots of those problems-they never suggest solutions.

For seeking the roots of the problem is radicalism-better to have blind faith in the unstudied, mystified, process of the status quo.

What do these have to do with environmental perception?

The environment we see-or rather the environment we perceive, (for there is more to it than we pick up through visual percep tion)is characterized by the variance of form and structure existing around us.

Let 2 contjnuously remind ourselves of the scope and sweep of creativity as we manipulate the environmental matrix; the urban matrix; the hum”an matrix.

UGLINESS No place to sit down.

POLLUTION But some say: Give me rooftops and a gas stove.

You can have your hundred acres on the prairie.

Prairie -where man outside a group is more alone than anyone else on earth.

REMINDER: We all perceive our environment from the perspective of different sets of values

with the most complex part of our environment.

People, and their composite interaction, people, and their goals and aspirations environmental, within -a total urban composition, is a living, vibrant thing.

Human reaction to environment depends on the intellect and the emotions-and this reaction varies.

We are taught to discuss everything and anything but religion, politics and sex. The result? The great silent majority.

A woman screams rape.- Fifty people gather to stand and stare. The attacker commits his act.

Is that all there is to a raping?

How can we have participatory democracies and co-operative federalism if our environment inhibits participation and co-operation?

PERCEPTION: what is it?

Letls look at three kinds: spatial, psychological, sociological.

ty Center for you The newest and littlest building on the University of Waterloo campus is being opened today and tomorrow with more fanfare than any previous building opening.

Including a bar, child day-care center, restaurant and lounges the university’s new community center has been conceived and designed as “a living-room where the community and the university can come completely together. ” The idea is totally new in Canada but follows a trend of trying to increase community involvement on campus.

The plan is generally credited to acting administration president IIoward Petch. Petch has often expressed a desire to undertake more experiments of this nature and has said he hopes the building is well used.

Other people who have taken an interest in the building since its 3 beginning include faculty club president Carl Totzke, who helped plan its facilities.

“I think we have a very attractive building and most of those on campus who have already visited it have been favourably impressed,” Totzke feels.

Building manager Bob Jeans and acting day-care center supervisor Marie Kennedy are also excited about the opening and the building’s future.

“The free day-care center is long overdue in the community,” Kennedy said. ” We will probably soon surpass the limited capacity of this building but additional facilities in the campus center

have already been considered. ” For its opening Monday morning the center will be manned by students trained at last summer’s Camp Columbia under Kennedy’s supervision.

Jeans is more interested in the food service part of the plans.

“My instructions are to operate the best dining room in the Twin Cities area and I see no reason why this will not be the case,” he said.

Once again limited capacity may prove to be a problem, however. The dining room will seat only 90persons.

Jeans is also planning a luncheon menu to feature a sandwich selection and one or two modestly priced specials. , The bar is receiving special attention though a permanent licence has not been obtained. Special liquor licences will be sought for special occasions, including the opening, in the meantime.

Not everyone on campus is sure the building is a good idea.

Student president Tom Patterson has attacked the plan as “wasteful, expensive tokenism.”

Patterson feels the entire university should be opened to thecommunity.

“We have better facilities already built and under-used on the campus including huge lounges and dining rooms, ” Patterson charges. “Why build this building? ” But the administrators seem very proud of what they are looking upon as their “first step” to better community involvement.

----Well - it was a nice theory

Editorial The administration at the University of Waterloo deserves congratulations for taking its first step toward recognizing its responsibilities to the community.

Not the business community that it usually serves-but the people of Kitchener-Waterloo and of Canada-the people who pay for the university.

The .opening of a special building on the campus to act as a ‘living room’ where the university and its . community may casually come together, shows a remarkable change in attitude from the days when even token gestures to the community were as few and far between as the campus’ one open house in ten years.

Unfortunately, if the previous record means anything the decision makers on campus will probably accept all the pats on the backs and then forget about the real reason behind the move for ten more years.

The university’s goal should be to serve the community not with just one small building stuck off in a corner of the campus but by opening its every door and by making its every endeavour in the interests of

all society-not just the corporate elite.

The university should train doctors to work for the people, not for money; engineers who’ll stop pollution instead of building bigger bombs; social scientists who will worry more about correcting poverty and less about hiding it.

It’s not the building that should be open to the people, its what goes on inside them.

Wonderful as a community living roomVmay be on campus, it is a great shame that the sons and daughters of many who visit the new building wouldn’t be able to afford the cost of an education in the other buildings on campus.

The Community Center building is a good first step as it will provide a place where the people who paid for the campus can make some use of it-a. place where they can feel a little more at home amongst the imposing architecture.

And the Chevron is glad to be able to help in the first step by making it better known.

But its a baby step-the first in what _must be a quick progression to full community control.

University education is paid for by the ordinary working people in Canada and their children don’t get to go. In the K-W area, working people pay more and go less.

53 percent of all taxes collected ih Canada come from families earning $7,000 or less-This is more than half of the families in the country. K-W ranks 47th in average wages so more families in this area are in the under $7,000group and as a result contribute even more in taxes going for education than the average family in Canada.

The children of families in this group have about a 1 in 8 chance of going to university.

In terms of the average incomes n the Kitchener-Waterloo area, ;he chances of the children of av?rage families going to university approaches 1 in 30.

On the other hand, only 6 percent If Canadian families have incomes If $10,000 and over. But in this group, their children have a 4 to .I chance of going to university.

At ;he same time the Carter Commission Report on taxation shows that this group only pays about half of their taxes, evading the rest by holding stocks, employing lawyers and accountants to find loopholes: Eighty percent of the money going to operate the universities

Beginning The opening today of the new community centre marks a distinct change from the past policy of the Board of Governors of the University of Waterloo.

In the past, these major leaders of the K-W business community, have often been accused of running the university for the benefit of themselves and their friends. They have also been accused, on a number of occasions, of using the money granted to them by the provincial government, your tax money, to run the university in their own interest.

The courses and skills that students obtain here, train them to work in the factories and businesses of this area. It is no secret that the purpose of these plants, banks and companies is to make a profit for the owners, not to make a better life for the working people in and around Kitchener-Waterloo.

The university also assists them in the pursuit of profit by providing facilities, such as our expensive computer centre. It has yet to use the computer services to help tenants in controlling spiraling rents.

A recent example of this kind of misuse of the board’s powers deals with mortgages.

At its October 2Ist meeting a motion was passed offering financial assistance to, university faculty and staff members buying homes. the provincial

Loans will bear an

interest rate of not more than 3/4 of 1% above the prime interest rate. In the words of the university “At administrators’ newspaper, the present time this would amount to 9% percent.... well below the normal rate for second mortgages and in some instances even below the first mortgage rates.”

Now the high cost of buying or even renting a house is hitting almost everyone. Besides the cost of land, the USUriOUS iIlt.e~eStIXteS On mortgages is perhaps the largest component pushing up the cost of housing.

Why, then, didn’t the prestigious members of the board of governors of our university put th eir influence behind the lowering of interest rates on housing?

The answer is simple. One look at who is on the board of governors tells all. G.H. Dobbie, P.R. Hilborn, J.E. Motz, CA. Pollock, J. W. Scott, and J.K. Sims, sit on the board of Waterloo Trust and Savings co . Ltd .

J. Leo Whitney is the president of General Mortgage Corp. of Canada.

Besides being vice-chairman of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, J. Page R. Wadsworth is a director of Inbank Realty Co. Ltd” and Dominion Rea1ty co. Ltd. Not to be left out, the Royal Bank of Canada has D.S. Anderson

Other investment companiessuch as Planned Investments Corp. and Great Lakes Investment Co. Ltd., have their man R. Fraser Elliot as a member U. of W. ‘s board of governors.

they actually take part in setting the rates. It might be of interest to you to check who is holding ‘your mortgage .

One can only surmise that the mortgage assistance plan of our board of governors did not cause them any Pain. Directly or indirectly, the provincial tax money used for this purpose actually becomes a subsidy by the taxpayer for the buying of mortgages from companies from which these men derive their profit.

Yet all this may be in the past.

This new community centre may be the beginning of a change of heart. It is a small step to be sure.

But if this kind of service provided for you-the working class of th’IS area-continues, then students *will be the first to congratulate

interests

This is how it works.

Using

comes from general taxes. About 20 percent comes from the students in the form of tuition fees.

The much talked about financial support from the business corporations amounted to less than 1 percent in 1968.

But it is the big businesses and not the common people who benefit from the university.

It is business who gets research done and the skills taught are for the functioning of corporations.

The University of Waterloo with its co-operative programs directly trains people in and for industry. Seminars are given at the University to aid business men to gain

greater control of their markets.

However seminars are never given to help tenants to gain control of their rent levels. Research is never done to find ways for the workers to fight against companies such as Kaufman Rubber.

The above picture of the general situation of university education in Canada and its financing telescopes into the concrete situation of the University of Waterloo and the local community.

The contradictions are obvious.

The university is paid for by the ordinary workingman and the university neither serves his needs nor do his children on the whole attend. And, the local situation here is even worse than the average in Canada.

There are social classes in our community, and this is borne out by the fact that those who are born into the upper class have a 240 times greater chance of going on to higher education than those who are children of working people.

At the same time that the university is essentially financed by the working class.

The working class builds the university for it but who really benefits?

Day

cure

The opening of a day care center in the new building may be a real boon to working women if it’s actually kept up and run free.

Many working mothers are put in the impossible situation of having to work in order to supplement their husbands’ income, and finding that after they have paid for a baby-sitter, they have very little left over. The situation is made worse by the fact that such expenses are not income tax deductible.

The quality of care that is available for the children of working mothers is ultimately determined by what the parents can afford to pay. Many mothers are forced to leave their children with babysitters who may not be very sympathetic to the needs of the individual child. Add to this the fact that the time a mother can spend with her child is severely limited by her job and by the work required in the home, and you have a situation that is potentially damaging to the child’s development.

It is not an easy task to be a mother and housewife, and to hold down a job at the same time, but what alternative do many women have? They are forced to work to help provide the everyday necessities of life for their families, but must do

and their taxes pa:

needed this at cost to themselves ant their husbands and children-thf cost of human relationship5 which cannot be measured ir money.

The answer to this problerr is not for women to stay at home and deprive their families of tht I extra income they need so badly The answer is adequate facilities for children, where they can. be with other children, and with adults who are trained to care for children and are concerned about their needs.

In some countries, such centres are located right at places of employment, where mothers can be with their children on their breaks and lunch hours. The government and the employers of Canada have failed to provide these facilities.

In order to help with this situation, the new university Community Center is providing free day care for the children of working people.

Come to the opening on friday and Saturday nights, and find out more about it. Day care will commence monday morning at 8:00 am and will continue until 6:00 pm. If transportation is needed for your children, let us know at the opening and we will try to make arrangements with you.

people cheering.

Can’t you feel the surging millions.

Is environment a daytime thing?

Excitement, turmoil, sound, action, interaction.

REMINDER: We plan for people and their interaction in diverse groups and with variable concentrations.

But remember, we also design our environment with life, not with statistics.

Let’s think about history and change.

Spanish villas. The french quarter. romantic?

Osgoode Hall; Old city hall Toronto. old-fashioned?

Curved lines -are they out of date?

Or do we need straight lines?

Are they up to date?

REMINDER: Time changes many things in our environment, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.

Let3 take a slow look at the automobile.

For thousands of years, the world% cities crystallized their form around transportatior8 oriented towards animals of burden.

Then, progress....

Sandburg poetry-chica90 Who said that transportation can’t be beautiful?

A city can be one great big garage.

REMINDER: Perhaps in a few years the automobile will be out of date-and gone forever-like the horse.

Now, what is a pedestrian?

Some one who dodges traffic?

Or is a pedestrian a little girl on the way to the ZOO?’ Perhaps the pedestrian should be given a higher priority when we set the warp and woof of our urban matrix.

Ours is the responsibility to think, plan and design creatively for all people-not only in this generation, but the next-inspired by the wide reaches of nature, the culture of all our cities, the subleties of the cointryside, and simplicity, creating a finer environment for all our children, creating greater cities for all our brothers.

N THE BEGINNING, I was one person, knowing nothing but my own experience.

Then I was told things, and I became two people: the little girl who said how terrible I it was that the boys had a fire going in the lot next door where they were roasting apples (which was what the women said)-and the little girl who, when the boys were called by their mothers to go to the store, ran out and tended the fire and the apples because she loved doing it.

So then there were two of I. One I always doing something that the other I disapproved of. Or other I said what I disapproved of. All this argument in me so much.

In the beginning was I, and I was good.

Then came in other I. Outside authority.

This was confusing.

And then other I became very confused because there were so many different outside authorities.

Sit nicely.

Leave the room to blow your nose. Don’t do that, thatls silly. Why, the poor child doesn’t even know how to pick a bone!

Flush the toilet at night because if you don’t it makes it hzirder to clean. DON7 FLUSH THE TOILET AT NIGHT-you wake people up!

Always be nice to people.

Even if you don’t like them, you mustn’t hurt their feelings.

Be frank and honest.

If you don’t tell people what you think of them, that> cowardly.

Butter knives.

It is important to use butter knives.

Butter knives?

What foolishness!

Speak nicely.

Sissy! Kipling is wonderful!

Ugh! Kipling (turning a way) The most important thing is to have, a career. The most important thing is to get married. The hell with everyone.

Be nice to everyone. The most important thing is sex. The most important thing is to have money in the bank.

The most important thing is to have everyone like you. The most important thing is to dress well. The most important thing is to be sophisticated and say what you don’t mean and don’t let anyone know what you feel. The most important thing is to be ahead of everyone else. The most important thing is a black seal coat And china and silver.

The most important thing is to be clean. The most important thing is to always pay your debts.

The most imjDortant thing is not to be taken in by anyone else. The most important thing is to love your parents.

The most important thing is to work. The most important thing is to be independent.

The most important thing is to

I

speak correct English.

The most important thing is to be dutiful to your husband.

The most important thing is to-see that your children behave well. The most important thing is to go to the right plays and read the right books. The most important thing is to do what others say. And others say all these things.

All the time, I is saying, live with life. That is what is important.

But when I lives with life, other I says no, that’s bad. All the different other l’s say this.

It’s dangerous.

It isn’t practical.

You’ll come to a bad end. Of course....everyone felt that way once, the way you do, but you’ll learn!

Out of all the other l’s some are chosen as a pattern that is me. But there are all the other possibilities of patterns within what all the others say which come into me and become other I which is not myself, and sometimes these take over. Then who am I? l does not bother about who am I. I is, and is happy being. But when I is happy being, other l says get to work, do something, do something worth while.

I is happy doing dishes.

“You’re weird! :’ I is happy being with people saying nothing.

Other I says talk. Talk, talk, talk. I gets lost.

I knows that things are to be played with, not possessed.

I likes putting things together, lightly.

Taking things apart, lightly.

“You’ll never have anything!”

Making things of things in a way that the things themselves take part in, putting themselves together with surprise and delight to I. “There’s no money in that!”

I is human.

If someone needs, I gives.

“You can’t do that! ’ You’ll never have anything for yourself!

We’ll have to support you!”

I loves. I loves in a way that other I does not know.

I loves.

“That’s too warm for friends! I’ “That’s too cool for lovers!”

‘Don’t feel so bad, he’s just a friend.

It’s not as though you loved him.”

“How can you loved him?” you let him go ? I thought So cool the warm for friends and hot up the love for lovers, and I gets lost.

So both Ifs have a house and a husband and children and all that, and friends and respectability and all that, and SPGU:?~ and all that, but both l’s are confused be“You see?

You’re cause other I says. lucky,” while l goes on crying.

“What are you crying about?

Why are you so ungrateful?”

I doesn’t know gratitude or ingratitude, and cannot argue.

I goes on crying.

-Other I pushes it o,ut, says “I am happy!

I am very lucky to have such a fine family and a nice house and good neighbors and lots of friends who want me to do this, do that.”

I is not reasonable, either. I goes on crying.

Other I gets tired, and goes on smiling, because that is the thing to do. Smile, and you will be rewarded.

Like the seal who gets tossed a piece of fish.

Be nice to everyone and you will be rewarded.

People will be nice to you, and you can be happy with that.

You know they like you.

Like a dog who gets patted on the head for good behavior.

Tell funny stories.

Be gay.

Smile, smile, smile....

I is crying....

‘Don’t be sorry for yourself!

Go out and do things for people!”

“Go out and be _with people! I’ I is still crying, but now, that is not heard and felt so much.

Suddenly.

“What am I doing?”

‘Am I to go through life playing the clown?”

“What ham I doing, going to parties that I do not enjoy?”

“What am I doing, being with people whd bore me?”

“Why am I so hollow and the hollowness filled with emptiness?”

A shell.

How has this shell grown around me? Why am I proud of my children and unhappy about their lives which are not good enough?

Why am I disappointed?

Why do I feel so much waste?

I comes through, a little.

In moments.

And gets pushed back by other I. I refuses to play the clown any more.

Which I is that?

“She used to be fun.. but now she thinks too much about herself. ” I lets friends drop away.

Which I is that?

‘She’s being too- much by herself.

Thatls bad. Sh.Vs losing her mind.”

In the late fifties there arose, in the halls of wall street, a demand for people technology.

The mandarins of management were having problems getting together.

Simultaneously, behaviourologists came up with some answers. As a result at the national training laboratory in New Jersey, a series of sensitivity, encounter, or T groups began plagued efficient decision making.

N.T.L. prospered and spawned a host of successors, including the most famous Esalen institute in Big Sur Carifornia.

This. is the institute depicted in the opening scenes of Bob, Carol,

Bob (Robert Culp), a hip young film maker and his wife Carol (Natalie Wood), hop in their XKE for a weekend in Big Sur-he, to do a film on the institute and she, to come along for the ride.

The motivation behind sensitivity training is that to survive and compete in the ‘human zoo” we must cut ourselves off sensorilly.

In mastering a myraid of cwplex roles we “lose touch” with the present.

Bob and Carol encounter themselves and seem to experience the emotional release

and subsequent rejuvenation credited to sensitivity training. I say seems because, throughout the movie in order to achieve humour, situations and characterizations are exaggerated.

Any meaning in the film suffers accordingly.

But the movie is funny and this does prevent it from becoming T-group evangelism.

The humor arises when Bob and Carol resolve to apply their weekend experience throughout their lives and particularly in their friendships with the young lawyer and his wife-Ted (Elliot Gould) and Alice (Dyan Cannon), Both Bob and Carol are subsequently lead into affairs that are “just physical”.

Perhaps the best scene occurs when Bob comes home to find Carol entertaining the local tennis pro (ironic for Culp). Bob is caught trying to balance his rage at being cuckolded with his new-found philosophy.

He ends up sharing a drink with the pro‘ who congratulates him because he has “a lot of class”.

As a “light look” at sensitivity training, B.C. T. and A is entertaining and only tangentially thought provoking.

Bob Culp, as he did in / Spy, plays himself and perhaps because of this is easy to identify.

Direct from of the Harvard

the squash court Lampoon comes Bored of the rings, the first full length evaporated condensation, slightly abridged and otherwise vandalized, of J.R.R. Tollien’s famous Lord of the rings trilogy.

The story deals with the plight of Frito, a slothful boggie from the stye, who unwillingly inherits the evil great ring and is charged by default with the task of disposing of it in the zazu pits, the black hole of fordor, which “spewed forth the remains of hundreds of years of National Geographies into the air”.

Frito and his sidekick Spam are aided and abetted by all manner of fantastic characters exceeded in their incredibility only by Tolkien’s originals.

Canadian novelist Hugh MacLennan, who addressed a large audience in the humanities theatre tuesday, is a difficult man to describe: One is tempted to say he is a-Canadian par excellence in view of his evident concern with the national psyche; but he made it clear that the chief reason he gives his novels a Canadian setting is the fact that his first two novels, set in foreign locales, were failures for the very reason that he had no roots in these areas.

Another paradox in MacLennan’s views is his clear knowledge of colonialism and chauvanism in the distribution and public appreciation of the arts. About this he displays an adBut in clearly parallel mirable indignation. matters, such as economic colonialism, he is inclined to pass it all off as human nature.

Now surely everything that people do is “human nature”, but this does not preclude a sense of indignation (another part of human nature) at what some people do. MacLennan reserves his anger for those who screwed him, while adopting a sort of “global overview” for the rest of human activity.

Still another case of a mind divided arises when we consider his attitude to technology: On the one hand, he displays a natural (for a writer) antipathy towards technocracy, berating it for fouling our humanity, and our sense of ourselves.

On the other hand he trusts technocratic competence to the point where he assumes that Russel and Whitehead proved the

“Technology batters yearly, even weekly, at our sense of genetic time, the time that for a million years was measured by seasons and generations and harmonized by memory... More than anything else, this is responsible for the huge gap between the generations.” * * * “Education can never make any more than a handful of people reasonable and today’s new biologists have explained why. Our famous BIG BRAIN grew so fast within our evolution that we are still so unaccustomed to it, we can use it intelligently only in fits and starts.” * * * “If you are an optimist you write the human story as a tragedy. If you are a pessimist you write it as a comedy. ” * * * . . . ..But this is only technology and politics. What of morals? What indeed of morals, which for millenia have been considered man’s sole defence against the contradictions within his own nature?” * * * “It took me at least a dozen years

But all of this might be seen as carpingMacLennan, after all, is a writer of fiction, not a logician or a philosopher.

I mention these points only because a writer’s philosophy and sense of logic (or anger arising out of injustice) are obviously central to his work.

’

It is perhaps time to say that I admire MacLennan enormously as an author and that I believe his work should be compulsory in Canadian high schools and universities.

Those Canadians who have not been brainwashed out of a sense of their own national identity by the American media and our sell-out government, will agree that the man who dealt with the human problem in Quebec long ago in TWO Solitudes deserves a Canadian readership.

MacLennan is an optimist about Canada.

Rather than regarding it as a storehouse that others, particularly Americans, will bleed dry, he takes the attitude that we will persevere thru art, consciousness, and example. Assuming that we do persevere, he may well be , right. Lacking any power over our destiny or our economics, then art, consciousness and example are all that we have.

Furthermore, his perceptions may prove to be closer to the truth than those of the analytical types. (Marxists, and most professors belong to this group. They all hope to bring the ’ power of scientific thought to human affairs,

to learn by bitter experience that literature is the last area in any national development to escape from colonial status.” * * *

“But this (the showing of BABY SITTER in Montreal), surely, is just another example of a wrench in our time-scale; it is also another example of cultural imperialism, for BABY SITTER was not made in Canada, nor did Canadians especially ask to see it.

The Capitol theatre is part of the Canadian branch plant of a foreign movie industry. * * *

“It is not entirely immodest to say that over the past thirty years a band of Canadian writers, painters, ballet dancers, radio and TV playwrights, even musicians, have been quietly doing what Joyce set out consciously to do for Ireland at the turn of the century-to forge within the smithy of their souls the untreated conscience of a people hitherto unregarded, unknown even to-themselves.

I suggest that if they had not done so, this beloved country would have disintegrated in the 1960s. It is not going to- disintegrate now. And the very fact that it won’t, cannot but be-

much as the Pentagon does.) MacLennan has the good sense to realize that our existence is not explicable in scientific terms but is, rather, a profound dilemma, from which there is no escape.

It is the duty of the novelist, explains MacLennan, to make some order of the chaos that arises out of this dilemma, an order which must reflect that which the reader has constructed for himself. His central point in his talk was that technology has thrown this order out of joint, that our inherent sense of “time” is dislocated.

Perhaps I should explain what (I think) MacLennan means by “genetic time”. This is time conceived not as ongoing and irretrievable (as in physics) but rather as time representing repetition, as in the coming and going of the seasons; a sense of time that locates one in a harmonious and cyclical world.

When I began to write this article I intended to cite McLennan for over-simplification in drawing attention only to time in his analysis and his difficulties as a of our unhappiness, Canadian writer.

But now I feel that our loss of “genetic time” is as important as any of our losses in this age of sterilized life and death.

Hugh MacLennan, a Canadian novelist who won the Governor General’s award several times since he started writing some thirty years ago, was on campus at the invitation of Uniwat’s english department.

He is presently a faculty *member at McGill University,

come recognized by a discouraged world, where the universal crisis is to establish a way of life in which individual cultures can live together, without the larger, stronger and very often the courser ones swallowing the smaller ones whole. ” * * * “We all know that it is a built-in human instinct, whether in an individual or a nation, to use any possible means to advance status, and presumably the affluent society can afford the space program. It’s cheaper and safer than a big war. But it cannot afford the persistent refusal of the technocrats to criticize or even to consider from the human standpoint, some of the things they do to us and even to themselves. * * * Morality is a humiliating failureif it denies our instincts, as happened to the Victorians. It is a hideous failure if it abandons us to our instincts, as happened to Nero’s Romans. But it is a lethal failure-and I mean this literally-if it persuades us to forget our search for coherence within the human continuum, to opt out, whether into some private art-world of one’s own or with millions of dollars into a taxfree paradise in the Caribbean. friday

The Waterloo basketball athenas captured another league win to remain in first place. The athenas downed Ryerson 39-27 in Toronto in tuesday night.

The athenas again demonstrated their newly adopted slow style and managed to be down 11-7 at the end of the first quarter sinking only two out of 16 shots from the floor. The Waterloo team began to move in the second quarter led by a nine point performance by Charlotte Shaule and outscored Ryerson 19-8 for a 26-19 lead at the half.

The game tempo again slowed down for the second half with very little action leading to a final score of 19-27 for the athenas. Shaule carried the load for the athenas by netting 16 points for the game.

This was the first game in two and a half months for athena Pam Snively who returned to action after a knee operation in november. Snively scored four points and played a fine defensive game for the athenas.

Some credit for making the Ryerson game boring for the specr tators must go to the referees who called 41 fouls, 25 of which went to the athenas. C‘ther favorite calls against both teams were travelling and three seconds in the key which occured so often that neither team had time to set up any offensive plays.

This however cannot be the only reason for the low scoring by the athenas who have averaged only 41 points a game since Christmas as compared with 57 points a game last term.

The athenas will be putting their league lead on the line this saturday as they travel to Windsor to meet the second place lancerettes.

The Windsor girls have only one loss, that being a 45-37 decision to the athenas.

Waterloo managed that win by playing .a fast, aggressive game and this aggressiveness has been missing from the athenas style for several games now. This could prove costly for the athenas as a win for Windsor on saturday would result in a tie for first place.

Michigan State University came into town last week and gave seven other women teams and a packed house a lesson in the fine art of winning swim meets.

First of all, you get three girls on your team who won enough events among them at the Pan-Ams in Winnipeg ‘and the Olympics in Mexico to seriously affect North America’s gold reserves.

Then, in order not to leave it all to your swimmers, you have two of the country’s ten best divers in your corner.

For a little incentive, bring along your top intra-state rival, who has already beaten you in a dual meet this year.

And when you get to the meet, win both relays and seven of the eleven individual events, pick up 121 points and the trophy and go home laughing.

Which is exactly what MSU did in winning the first annual women’s international invitational swim meet here on Friday.

University of Michigan came second with 76 points and the home team athenas came on very well to pick up 38 points and nose out the best in the east, Ithica College and Toronto.

The trio of Pamela Kruse, Linda Gustafson and Marilyn Corson (formerly of Canada but now of Fort Lauderdale) picked up MSU’s seven individual wins with Corson getting three.

Corson was also on the winning 200-yard medley team and Gustafson had relay wins in the 200 medley and 400 freestyle.

Kruse was also on the latter team.

Waterloo’s best showing was a second by Lois Wilson in the 50-yard backstroke behind Randy Croome of Toronto.

Cheryl Smith came third in the lOOyard breast-stroke.

Brown came fourth and fifth in the one and three metre diving respectively.

Diving was the one area where Michigan has it over MSU. They had only one of the states’ top divers, Lani Loken, and she won both events, doing things like two and a half sommersaults with two and a half twists and doing them beautifully.

State’s Martha Coward and Pat Johannes had -10 settle for a 2-3 finish in both events.

In the ‘most excitihg race. of the day, Allison Bays of Guelph swam very strongly in the 400 freestyle but lost to the veteran Kruse by two-tenths of ” a time was second.

Kruse’s 4: 38.7.

In the 50-yard butterfly Corson and Barb Patterson were both clocked in 29.5 with Corson getting the nod.

Wilson had a fourth in the individual medley as did Fraser in the 100 backstroke to go with a fifth in the 100 freestyle.

The athenas will be taking a real shot at top honours when they host the OQWCIA championships on february 6 and 7.

The Waterloo basketball athenas had a taste of strong com/petition as they came up with two wins and two losses in the Hamilton District Ladies Invitational Basketball Tournament last weekend.

The athenas were defeated 49-40 -by the Tonawanda, New York shamrocks.

This loss put them into the consolation round.

Wins over the St. Catharines panthers and St. Leo’s Parish of York advanced the athenas to the consolation finals saturday night where they were .defeated by the Port Colborne comettes.

In the Tonawanda game, the athenas were out-matched on height and the strong rebounding of the New York girls allowed them second tries at the basket if their first shot missed.

This advantage gave Tonawanda a 23-11 lead at the half.

For the athenas Patty Bland netted 11 points- with Pat Byer adding nine.

Bland also led the team defensively as leading rebounded.

For Tonawanda, Dona Rebador scored 15 points.

In their second game, the athenas were in complete control.

The warriors swam off with both ends of a double-dual meet here last Saturday, whipping Ryerson 77-30 and RMC 71-37.

RMC nipped Ryerson 52-50 in the other pairing.

Coach Bob Graham put his squad through its paces before a sparse crowd which watched the warriors win one, diving event, one relay and six of the nine individual events.

Leading the way once again for the warriors was team captain George Roy,. winning the 220-yard individual medley in

He also swam the opening‘leg of the 400-yard freestyle relay which the warriors won in a team record time of 3:41.7. Swimming with Roy were Brian Cartilage, Warren Page and Doug Lorriman.

Page won the 100 freestyle in 56.1 and came second in the 50 freestyle.

Haig Moreton took the 200 free in 2:09.3, Jim Frank the 200 backstroke in 2:54.1 and Lorriman the 500 free in 5 : 59.4 to round out the warrior wins in swimming. .

Brian Hilko and Lester Newby were beaten on the one metre board

by Ryerson’s . Dan Semper but Hilko came back to win the three metre event *with a 143.7 total with Semper second and Newby third by five points.

The most exciting race of the meet came after everybody had gone home, when Lorriman nipped Hans Bengertman and Roy in a 50-yard breaststroke.

It was the only close one all day.

The most interesting news to come out of the weekend was the release of the latest CIAU ratings. Roy is currently ranked second in Canadian college circles in the 200 fly and 500 freestyle and third in the 200 individual medley and lOOO-yard freestyle.

Lorriman is fourth at 1000 yards, seventh at 500 and eleventh in the 200 individual medley. Brian Bachert is rated 14th in the 200 backstroke.

Sunday the warriors and athenas host the Etobicoke swim club in a mixed meet. The visitors are the stongest age-group swimming team in Ontario and will provide very stiff competition.

The warriors will next be home february 14 when McMaster will be here for a dual meet, one week before the OQAA championships to be held at Mat.

Jane Liddell and Anne Gibbs were the only bright spots for the Athenas on both offence and defence. Liddell scored 10 points with nine rebounds while Gibbs netted six points and captured eight rebounds off the boards.

The tournament was won by the Hamilton Dumont Aluminum team which will be coming to Waterloo for an exhibition match with the athenas early in february.

B-bailers defeat very bush-league

by Ted Pimbert Chevron

staff

The basketball warriors travelled to Toronto Wednesday night and returned with a very unimpressive 88-78 win. In their weakest game of the season, the warriors gave a lesson in how to avoid scoring and in the art of making easy games hard.

The notorious warrior shooting percentage appears ready to haunt the team for a while yet.

They took a record 110 shots from the floor but sunk only 32 for 29 per cent on the game.

The players missed layups and then took turns bouncing the rebounds off the rim from two feet out. This sort of “shooting power” cost the warriors between 20 and 30 points in a game that they should have walked off with easily instead of struggling for.

Problems hit the warriors early as Paul Bilewicz, the team’s top rebounder, got four quick fouls and had to be replaced within the first five minutes.

The abscence of his size and ability for all but about ten minutes of playing time deprived the team of a player who has become a motivating force in their play.

After Bilewicz fouled out in the second half, Bill Hamilton did the same, adding to the trouble.

The score was close all game and was tied with four minutes remaining, but the warriors pulled away to a ten point lead in the last minutes to win it.

Once again, the warriors were unable to hold on to or enlarge upon earlier .six and eight point leads. They lost them several times to a Toronto outburst, including the one that tied the half time score at 45-45.

The warriors were covering with a man-to-man, full court press with a trap at the ten second line, which, although broken

quite well by the blues, did force steals and turnovers.

The press forced steals all over the court, but the warriors couldn’t convert them into points -a disease which is now becoming old hat to the team.

Unfortunately the press left the warriors victims of the breakaway pass and the blues were scoring consistently on breakaways and two on one breaks.

Perhaps the biggest problem the b-ballers have is maintaining control of their own play on the court and Wednesday’s game emphasized this. The team was rushing the play when they felt pressured, taking premature shots and was guilty of failing to set up their offence when they came down the court.

They seemed to lack a steadying influence which would force them to work for the good shot until it was there instead of throwing two passes, a halfhearted pick and then up goes the shot.

Attempts to set up high scoring Jaan Laaniste were failing because of this and he scored only 18 points for the game.

Dennis Wing, playing his best game of the year, combined with Bill Hamilton and Dave Crichton for the early part of the game to move the ball around in the opposition’s end better than the warriors have all season. Wing was on the floor for rnost of the game and finished with 10 points, but his assists and rebounding were the great assets.

Other scorers for uniwat were Kieswettel and Lozynsky with 14 points each.

The fact that Bilewicz had seven points for his brief appearances shows that he has to find some way of avoiding the foul trouble he is encountering.

Toronto was man-mountain John Hadden who not only scored 21 points but slammed his forearm

LovoIu H

on the backboard after making a block. Everyone in the gym (refs excluded) thought the block was goaltending.

(Thought you’d like that bit of trivia).

If the warriors had lost this one, and they tried hard. they would have been out of the league race. Fortunately, they played a terrible game against the one team that couldn’t take advantage of it. However, Saturday they’ll need to look a lot more like a basketbail team if they want to beat Windsor and take a run at first place in the standings.

Dribbles-Warriors lost a player to injuries this past week when it was learned that Howard Bury would have to have a pin put in his foot which was broken earlier this year and didn’t heal properly.

-Dave Crichton suggested after the game that the warriors should spend some practice time just standing looking at the basket from close range so they would recognize it when they find themselves confronted by it.

Ken Laidlaw (on beautiful breakaway) and Roger Kropf each had a goal and two assists and contributed immensely to the aggressive forchecking of the team.

Strong performances also came from Savo Vujovic, Cam Crosby, and Dave Rudge.

Waterloo’s passing was vastly improved over recent efforts and at times resembled what a good team is really capable of. Shooting, however, still leaves plenty to be desired, both in accuracy and speed of delivery.

Countless good scoring opportunities failed to materialize because of poor shooting-particularly from the points.

The Waterloo coaching staff was obviously pleased with the team’s showing but is quick to point out that considerable improvement is still needed if the squad hopes to win league and national honours.

it is! the truth about ban on paper towels

With so many momentous things happening these days, we have to be grateful to you for allowing four square inches of last friday’s Chevron, to report that PP&P will no longer be supplying paper towels to Chemistry laboratories.

To be fair, you should have stated that the ban is universitywide, but we chemists deserve the notoriety because we are mainly to blame for the whole thing. Apparently we have been using more paper towels than the math department.

I guess we are guilty as charged; chemists do dry their glassware and mop up spills with paper towels and what with several hundred students coming here to study. in our nice laboratories, the expense could understandably increase.

Of course they do pay fees and bring in BIU’s from the Government, but these are undoubtedly required for things other than such basic laboratory (and sometimes lavatory) conveniences.

So in the future when a student gets chemicals on his hand - I nearly said his face but you would accuse me of being melodramatic - or what would be worse, on the University’s benches or floors, he must hurry to the storeroom for a sponge for which he will be charged twenty-five

Being knowledgeable and competent, PP&P are of course aware that paper towels, mops and the like are standard janitorial supplies for chemistry and indeed most science laboratories. I suspect that we have here a novel instance of PP&P insisting on doing their own thing.

Bureaucracy being what it is, I am sure that PP&P could cite an appropriate law (Parkinson’s for example) in justification of the expenditure for that “area” in front of the physics building, or for the other pieces of frippery with which they are so obsessed, or for maintaining themselves in such elegant style, but not for the legitimate expenses incurred by students in direct pursuit of the knowledge for which we enticed them to come here.

I was very interested to find an editorial on residence fees in your Jan 16/70 issue. I quite agree that these fees are far too high already and that the vacancy situation will only worsen with yet even higher fees, $550/term next year.

There are however, a few details worth pointing out in the com-

parison to WCRI, the co-op residence.

The co-op is also currently having trouble filling its rooms - in spite of substantially lower fees. However, WCRI- student administrators appear to have a different approach to the problem. Anticipating an even grosser vacancy in the lean summer months, they have further lowered their fees to an amazing $290 and $310.

Obviously, if too many summer students take advantage of the co-op rates then the village summer projection could topple as well. Perhaps this would drive the rates even higher. Or will the university administration indeed sell the entire village to the coop? That situation appears real if the co-op would buy. This vacancy fight is a fight to survive.

The co-op appears to be leading the way. May the best team win.

In Biafru, observers

are the militury given the food?

It is interesting to note the complacent arrogance with which a so-called impatient team of myopic observers can unequivocally state that not only is there no evidence of genocide in Biafra., but also that reports of mass starvation have no basis in fact, since even cases of malnutrition are relatively rare.

How can they make such a sweeping statement, having visited only areas held by nigerian forces since 1967-68 and early 1969-towns and cities such as Aba, Port Harcourt and Owerri; only part of which they ‘observed’. _ Can serious considerations be given such a report, when the team went nowhere near the real battle zone, such as Uli town, Ihella, Onitsha, Awka, the biafran capital of Oru, and so many other towns which are in the Iholand?

Being military men, surely they would know from experience that civilians, such as Owerri, one of the last cities to fall, would rush towards their own troops or into the bush, not towards nigerian forces. What effort have they made to see that these civilians who have retreated to their last small territory have not been slaughtered?

Out of a population of possibly five million, how many Ihos have they seen? Indeed, not having an african observer on the team, how can they distinguish Ihos from the so-called minorities who have been ‘liberated’ since 1967?

If tanks, armoured cars and heavy artillery could get into remote territory to deal the final blow, how is it possible for the observers also to get in, even by helicopter?

Without this, how can they be sure that the Iho population is not being exterminated by nigerian forces?

The nigerian Red Cross said that it had fed 75,000 Ihos since the biafran surrender?

Perhaps instead of military men, scientists should have been sent to make a report, since they have more respect for research and for facts.

ANTHONY Chevron _ statements

makes fcdlacious in editorials

1) In regard to the parking problem-could PP&P possibly make and erect some VERY LARGE signs telling visitors of our strange customs and taboos -so that thky’d stop getting screwed in the ear?

2) I am rather upset about ‘Love and Educayour editorial, tion’, of last friday. The Chevron has added itself to the ever growing list of people and groups who make ‘ambiguous and fallacious statements about other people and groups. I object most’ to the statement connecting Alice Koller and the defence department.

Defense department-of course one of the biggest boggies around (if you happen to be a commie.)

The statement which you made is ambiguous and implies, to most of those who have gone through our shitty educational system, which does not show us how to

read and think properly, things which do not necessarily exist: What you have said is basically equivalent to statements made by fascists about ‘weird’ minorities-e.g., hippies. ‘0, he’s got long hair and wears strange clothes.

He must be a commie pinko, subversive, dope addict. ’ Also, I don’t know who wrote this editorial, but it seems to have been someone not of IS. HOW the fuck can you make any kind” of valid judgement of the relative merits of Koller and Thompson on the basis of what you seem to know of them as shown in the editorial?

In my opinion, editorials should be based on fact and be careful to include all relevant and pertinent information.

On the other side, I liked your front page.

Love, CHARLOTTE VON BEZOLD integrated studies I Decision integrated

marking process in studies, u farce

This letter is reverently dedicated to those persons outside of as well as those in the program of integrated studies who either don’t fully understand the reasons for the discontent among many of the course’s members or are rather pompous and proud of the fact that they ‘knew it would happen’.

My defense is largely directed against the persons outside of the program who are standing around watching the imminent conflict concerning the structural shortcomings of IS, everready with their uninformed, and unfounded comments such as, “But of course a program like that will flounder ! ’ ’ “You are so pre-occupied with the politics of the thing that you are going to learn nothing! ” and, “I told you so! . ” First of all, I doubt if the majority of students who have sacrificed the relative security of a degree-guaranteed program for the sake of entering this experimental program had any illusion that it would prove an automatic raving success. I, for one, was fully aware that it would be a considerable struggle to put the concept of free, self-determinated education into practice.

Not only would I have to condition myself to the difficult task of exerting my own will and initiative in the learning process but I would have to convince those persons connected with the administration that when I said I wanted ‘freedom and equal say’ in my pursuit for self-edification, I meant just exactly that.

The majority of us in IS are sincere when we say that we want to learn without the restrictive structural crap that is imposed by the regular university program. But we are equally sincere when we express the desire to have the *freedom to partake equally in any decisionmaking which is directly related to the program.

After all, such factors as the number of persons in the course, the number of resource people available to us, and the nature of the subjects presented by the visiting professors promised are intrinsically connected to the

basic concept of free education.

And the- very nature of the word ‘freedom’ implies that those persons most affected by the decisions should be the ones responsible for making them.

Unfortunately, * the freedom we were originally promised is nowhere to be seen. As far as I can see, the meetings held for the alleged purpose of allowing the students to make the various crucial decisions are a farce.

In my opinion, we talk, banter and bicker along irrelevant tangents under the careful and solicitous chair and guidance of our ‘resource personnel’ and rarely arrive at any decisive conclusions. If any major decisions are made it is probably all done in the all-powerful ‘white house’ in unannounced, if not exactly secret, meetings, As a sincere and concerned member of the program I feel that it is necessary for us to attempt to keep the course on its feet by insisting that the administration allow us to stick as closely as possible to the original ideals set down in Mr. Gordon’s initial brief.

If we allow it to continue along the route that it is now travelling the ultimate result will be virtual assimilation into the program of regular arts which will mark the failure of the experiment.

So, in conclusion, my message to the gloating ‘I told you so’ puppets is that no one said that the chains of conditioning would be easy to break or that the walls of condition had a two way door. But, with the risk of appearing trite, ‘it is better to have tried and failed’ and all that. And we don’t intend to stop trying until futility becomes blatantly obvious.

If Mr. Sacevich would have looked into the issue more closely he would have realized that the purpose of the letter written by “irate” Ukrainians were in response to certain events rather than to “expound cultural superiority”.

Their purpose was to sort out matters when Ukrainian cultural values as such (not “superior”) were publicly misrepresented or infringed upon.

Notwithstanding the qualities Ukrainian culture may possess it is unethical and bad manners on Mr. Sacevich’s part to indirectly accuse the USC of “‘Russian-cultural-dungheapish” type of attitudes-grossly untrue!

It has always been the policy of the USC to actively support Slavic studies at UofW and to encourage the membership of the club to do so. At the present time a large number of Club members are enrolled in courses and programs of study in that field offered by our university.

And as Mr. Sacevich knows, Slavic studies are organically linked to russian and Ukrainian cultures, among , others. This, for instance, rather than malicious talk,‘ should be indicative of USC attitudes.

If there are persons whoever they may be (Russians, non-Russians ; Ukrainians, nonUkrainians ; etc. ) “who can barely distinguish between the two cultures” (and nationalities) it should be part of their interest (academic and otherwise) to find out more about it for their own benefit. This will increase their cultural knowledge considerably, and help them to misovercome some undue conceptions and prejudices.

.

Mr. Sacevich’s accusation of the USC as being “arrogant”, “insistent and so persistent”, are unfounded.

The club has no reason for it. The club pursues its cultural and social activities for the benefit of our university community as a whole on the basis of “live and let live” without interference into somebody else’s activities or interests.

But it leaves US much to think when every time a person stands up on behalf of some Ukrainian issue he is automatically accused of “arrogance” and “intolerance”.

Tolerance-yes ! But from ALL concerned.

Otherwise it loses its meaning and effectiveness.

Notwithstanding what cause some people would like to dedicate their lives to (it is their lives after all), let it be known, that the “poster” Mr. Sacevich read was neither produced nor ’ posted by the USC. If Mr. Sacevich knew that child theft may have’ occurred somewhere along the line he would probably be more cautious in making such imputations as this one : “After all what is the rape of mother Russia going to give her sonquite a strange satisfaction it seems”.

But since the prodigal son has long since been reunited with the rest of his family, should he need a mother it would very likely be “mother Ukraine” rather than “mother Russia”, to use Mr. Sacevich’s own terminology.

In view of the above the charges of incest levelled against the USC are groundless. However, we are Canadians, and this is reason enough for us to follow a policy of noninterference with somebody else’s filial allegiances or ancestry.

And this is what we advise to others.

The main purpose of this letter is to clarify matters and above all to stop all rumors about an alleged “rivalry” between clubs, which is nonexistent as far as the USC is concerned, although there may be some individuals who have unduly chosen to think so.

We wish to stress once more that the USC policy has always been and it will continue to be so in the future of “live- and let live”, and of good will towards all. But let it be clear that it is also the policy of the USC to stand on its own feet and to maintain its rightful identity in form and content.

Therefore, the USC will resist any direct or indirect attempts to discredit its activities and membership.

However, we bear no hard feelings against anyone. And on the occasion of our traditional New Year festivity (Jan. 14) we would like to extend to all members and friends of the russian and Ukrainian students clubs our best wishes of a happy and prosperous in all respects New Year!

Friends dropout in t&sp& but student continues “Jim” of Math wrote to you last Tuesday, describing his fruitless four year quest of mathematical honours, which was unfortunately thwarted by incompetent teaching graduates and elusive professors.

I would like to reply that, although Waterloo’s reputation rests on its math and science departments and it is not particularly renowned for english, I have managed to spend an and academically ’ enjoyable purrewarding four years suing an english honours degree.

Not counting courses from visiting professors, I have enjoyed and profited from at least six of my required nine courses in english. I have been really turned on by as unlikely a subject as anglo-saxon, taught at St. Jerome’s, stimulated by as routine a course as english 101, excited

by Shakespeare, Spenserj modern british literature and romantic poetry, which were competently and thoroughly taught me.

Sure, I have been bored at times. There are bores in every men whose fields department, of specialization are enclosed in ten foot walls over which they do not condescend to peep in order to impart to students key facts of Augustan or middle english literature.

I have had teachers who were ineffectual, men who allowed their class to wander (and wonder) “freely” through a jungle of ideas and concepts of literary criticism without guide or goal.

I have been disillusioned, I have seen the Coryphaeus, a paper full of book reviews and articles of interest degenerate into the Chevron, a stamping ground for hysterical radicals arid their cohorts; I have seen friends in other faculties drop out in despair, I have sympathized with people like Jim whose faculties live on unmerited renown.

Yet I have learned from my sojourn at Waterloo.

My department may not be famous, unrivalled in North America for new techniques and programes, but I have profited greatly from its ministrations nonetheless.

Dylan and Beyond As Dylan’s consciousness grew in and through his songs, so did the folk culture.

He was, as he put it, singing “his peoples’ story”, the story of a cold war, nuclear mentality and John Birch paranoia (Talkin Will Blues”, Talkin John Birch Society Blues”); the story of the coming of age in such a society (“Bob Dylan’s Dream”); and, the story of human relations in such a society (“Don’t Think Twice”).

It was through this infusion of contemporary content into traditional forms that Dylan was able to begin to build a mass base of young people in essentially the same way. Gramsci describes this phenomenon: “It is still the culture of a narrow intellectual aristocracy which is able to attract the youth only when it becomes immediately and topically political. ” The people who were attracted to the folk culture were those who had been able to retain some sensitivity in the face of massification.

Much of this struggle however, was waged on the basis of the “symptomdisease’ ’ , confusion.

That is, they were aware of many of the symptoms of a diseased society - mean- , ingless unproductive labor, racism, distorted social relations, etc. But, very infrequently did they get to the real causes of these problems.

Many of the folk people were also “socially involved” ; that is, their praxis reflected their distaste for these problems and the attempt to correct them usually within the system.

A great many of these people refused to work - i.e., to perform alienated labor although many did engage in what they considered to be meaningful labor - organizing, social projects, voter registration in the South, and writing for topical folk magazines (Broadside, Sing Out etc. which were the forerunners of underground newspapers).

They identified with the “folk” (usually in the abstract), and wore folk clothing-work shirts and dungarees-and behaved as “folk” were seen or thought to behave-more humanly/communally.

In terms of these social and musical confines, Dylan’s struggle as a self-conscious artist with a deep feeling for history can be viewed as an attempt to break through these restrictions, explode the old forms, and create new ones always within the context of a growing social awareness.

In “Only A Pawn In Their Game”, it was the system that produces racism that was brought to task. In “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” it was the class nature of justice that was exposed and in “With God On Our Side” and “Masters of War,” it was (respectively) the religious buttress of militarism and war profiteers that were indicted. But, as Dylan’s development indicates, there was much more to be said and a larger audience to reach.

politics

It must be kept in mind that although the folk culture was growing and the restrictions of both liberalism and the folk music form were being brought into question, the youth actually involved in the folk scene represented only a small minority of the nation’s youth. It should also be kept in mind that the civil rights struggle had peaked and was on its way down.

The blacks, through people like Malcolm - and Stokely Carmichael, were becoming aware that change in this society is not made by accepting handouts from white liberals, but by organized struggle.

At the same time, the war in Vietnam was escalating despite the election of the “peace” candidate, Johnson. The Berkeley FSM was also going full blast and beginning to articulate a c,ritique of the university.

The Rowntrees capture much of the feeling of these times: “The off-campus New Left also reached a turning point in 1965. Following Selma, SNCC moved from non-violence to self-defense and black power...It became clear to many young radicals that their emphasis on spontaneity and grassroots activity had led them into a reformist dead end. Many saw that isolated projects, no matter how radical in themselves could not become sponteneously revolutionary.

In the reassessments and reorientations of the last three years, youth have turned their attention back to the schools and to the promotion of the more militant

class forms of action that have emerged in recent times. ’ ’ Musically the Beatles and Stones had hit the nation with “good old rock and roll” - though more amplified and more up to date. Their early music was based on some of the best of the 50’s, but was almost totally devoid of content (as in the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand”).

This was the music of the majority of youth and since it and the Beatles (sweatshirts, wigs, etc.) were very marketable, this was where the bourgeoisie concentrated their attention.

The music was criticized by the folk people as being impure and inarticulate, but this critical perspective was primarily elitist and essentially bourgeois.

The folk purists were interpreting the music, not struggling to change it.

Dylan, however, although originally a critic, had moved to a new position. He did see the necessity for change and struggle right here on the home front, not simply down South, which was essentially the same kind of ideological development taking place within the New Left.

changes

This precipitated Dylan’s move to a new form - rock and roll, which was again, another’ instance of the old forms not being able to contain the new content. Dy-’ lan was also very critical at the political level. Hi\s earlier views were primarily within the liberal framework. As historical consciousness grew, so did his antipathy for liberalism (along with many others in the Movement).

In his first major interview (in the October 24, 1964. issue of the New Yorker) Dylan expressed this antipathy: “I fell into a trap once - last December - when I agreed to accept the Tom Paine award from the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee.

At the Americana Hotel! In the Grand Ballroom!

As soon as I got there I felt up tight. First of all, the people with ,me couldn’t get in. They looked even funkier than I did, I guess.

They weren’t dressed right, or something.

Inside the ballroom, I really got up tight. I began to drink. I looked down from the platform and saw a bunch of people who had nothing to do with my kind of politics.

I looked down and I got scared. They were supposed to be on my side but I didn’t feel any connection with them. Here were these people who had been all involved with the Left in the thirties, and now they were supporting civil rights drives. That’s groovy but they also had minks and jewels, and it was like they were. giving the money out of guilt...And then I started talking about friends of mine in Harlem-some of them junkies, all of them poor. And I said they need freedom as much as anybody else, and what’s anybody doing for them?”

Here was not only a critique of liberalism (for Dylan this incident and his critique of liberalism are expressed in song “As I went out one morning”. on John Wesley Herding), but an indictment also of the Old Left forms.

Dylan was struggling not only to break through the old musical forms, but -also the old poli-” tical forms, since most of these forms were predicated ,J on bourgeois social relations.

Dylan was practising and speaking for what Marcuse was later to call “the new sensibility”.

Dylan’s new form-rock and roll was criticised by those members of the folk culture who considered themselves “purists”.

The “purists” viewed Dylan and the new culture as their property.

At Newport and Forest Hills in the summer of 1965, he was booed by these people. He responded in a song-“It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue.”

Thus, Dylan’s struggle, at this point, was at many levels. On the musical and cultural level he was attempting to break through the forms that had already become static and in fact useful to the status quo.

The significance of the break should not be underestimated.

Even so dynamic a left movement as that centered around the Wobblies in the early twentieth century was unable to effect a break with the traditional folk forms-they simply used the traditional forms and inserted new content. Take, for example,

two of Joe Hill’s most famous songs, “Casey Jones the Union Scab” and “We will sing one song”, whose tunes were respectively the original railroad ballad “Casey Jones” and Steven Foster’s “My Old Kentucky Home.”

What was Dylan able to accomplish by this movie?

This topic is worth much more than time and space allows; however, it will be worthwhile to’ mention at least a few things.

Dylan3

accomplishments

First of all, Dylan was able to reach more people.

Some of his songs, e.g. “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” did get on the radio and more and more people became aware that Dylan was articulating the frustrations, problems, and-views on society. that these young people were experiencing daily. - This, in itself, served a number of purposes.

It carried through what had begun to develop in the later 50’s a sense of community.

The restrictions imposed by the internalization Oof problems were being shattered.

A genuine critical consciousness was developing.

In this way, this music, also transcended the mediocrity and plasticity that the rock of the late 50’s and early 60’s had become, which meant in practice that new forms and new artisists - artists who spoke to these people and their experiences - would be required.

It also meant that co-optation would have to move to a new level.

It was not only what Dylan said but now he said it that characterizes another of his contributions to the development of social awareness.

Marcuse has argued that our universe of discourse is closed and that-one way of attempting to keep it closed is by a repressive language-a language that is positivistically based, static, abstract and at almost every instance turns the abstract “concepts” of liberation into their oppo:sites in practice.

It- is, therefore, clear that any -culture which attempts to do away with the old will have as one of its major tasks the liberation of language.c Here Dylan’s work was,, very important.

He was able to take the abstract language that had almost no relation to anything and concretize it within the practical critical experience of an evolving youth culture.

Almost every phase in every song, on “Highway 61” and “Bringing It All Back Home”, was jampacked with some sort of critical perspective.

This type of critique was usually expressed in semi-surreal imagery, but to most of Dylan’s following the world was surreal - bowling balls were coming down the road and knocking people off their feet; heart attack machines were being strapped across the should: ers of the people in this society; people who sang with their tongues of fire did gargle in the rat-race choir, etc. (“Maggie’s Farm,” “Desolation Row”, and “It’s All Right Ma, I’m Only Bleeding” are three excellent instances of the almost total indictment of a dehumanized society).

In this context, it is interesting to note that Bobby Seale and Huey Newton were also able to relate the black experience to Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man”, (as’ Seale recounted in a recent issue of Ramparts).

Others folio w With these breakthroughs evolved new and higher standards amongst the youth for the artists and performers.

The music had to be relevant to the developing new man. Topical rock artists were more and more in demand. The Beatles and Stones had to relate to the times. The Beatles focussed upon alienation (“Elenor Rigby”), mysticism (“Within You Without You”), and fun (“Yellow Submarine”).

The Stones were more pointed in their attacks-“ Satisfaction” was an almost total social indictment ; “Mother’s Little Helper” focussed on the necessity for drugs as a buffer to an oppressive social system; and “Paint It Black” ended in a kind of nihilism. In terms of capturing the sense of alienation, Simon and Garfunkle were the best (as far as that level of consciousness goes)-“Sounds of Silence”, “Most Peculiar Man”, and their “Silent Night 7:00 P.M. News” portrayed some of the more apparent social, contradictions.

Even plastics such as Sonny and Cher and the Turtles had to tailor their work to these new forms.

Here ‘again however, the tension between a culture attempting to ass&t itself and a system attempting to I dest-ray it by’ co-optation once more emerged. Just as “good old rock and roll” was subverted as much as possible in -the 50’s in order to further inculcate the consumer’s .mentality, it was now folk rock that became the frehicle for co-optation.

The record companies were doing a grand old business, hip entrepreneurs were popping up all over, and many of the artists. (either due to a lack of integrity or money) were now spokesmen for Coca-Cola, white levis, and rock and roll equipment.

But since this was one side of a contradiction and since capitalistic greed knows no bounds, it was not infrequent that subversive ideas got sold. .

Democracy?

We have once again witnessed an attempt at democratization of university governing procedures on this campus. We have once again witnessed failure.

The situation in the division of environmental studies (see story page 9), could not have been more fertile for planting the seeds of democracy. The division is new; a breath of fresh air so to speak. It is small in numbers, thus easy to organize.

The courses taughth,umanities and man and his environment-invite attempts at democracy. Finally the students are very interested in their courses and have a great many ideas for the improvement of the division.

Like any new division, environmental studies has many problems that need to be straightened out.

The administration realizes this.

They also realize that students are usually the first to point out problems and make suggestions towards their correction. The administration is more than glad to let students help in solving the problems, hence, the graduate and undergraduate affairs committees. These are the only areas where there is any sort of significant student representation.

Students have proven responsible and effective in these positions. Why, then, does the administration not follow its policy of student participation through to the higher committees that hold the real decisive power? Students will not be given a relevant say on these commit-

tees-the constitution will attest to that.

If the constitution is passed at the next meeting of the senate and it probably will be as it has all the necessary safeguards against students in it, the only thing that will be accomplished for the students will be the structuralization of ass-kissing. This is the only way students get any of their demands granted at the moment.

The division of environmental studies is not unlike any other faculty or school on this campus in its treatment of students.

The efficient running of any university and its constituent parts under the present system of gov’ernment depends primarily on keeping students‘in their place”.

If students ever did gain sufficient power to take a meaningful part in the governing of this university, radical changes would be made. Examinations -would be abolished. Course content and presentation would be altered so that it would be more oriented towards the student. There would be an end to tenure. The university’s research policies would certainly change direction and many functionless administrators would find themselves unemployed.

Gaining power through proper channels has once again proven impossible. Attempting it outside these channels invariably meets with repression but is nevertheless the only option remaining to the students.
