lhiversity A group of concerned students and faculty who feel there are skills available within the university that can be used constructively in a broader social context transcending the physical limits of the university last fall formed the organization for social justice and reconstruction. It has been the feeling of O.S.J.R. members that the university has tremendous resourees that presently are rather poorly utilized. For example, they were concerned that a large portion of the student’s course requirements were purely academic and as such had no applicability to the larger social scene. Accordingly, a primary objective was to found a research group that would co-ordinate both student and faculty research. They hoped they would be able to extend the use of skills to aid both minority groups and powerless peoples, such as the aged and poor. The aim was not to study these people in the abstract but to put the tools developed at university, into use to understand the structural forces at work in producing and maintaining underprivileged and powerless peoples and once understanding those forces to disseminate the findings to the peoples affected to allow them to make decisions and engage in activities that are based on an analysis of the dynamics involved.

should serve minority groups' to the policy of an articulate Indian population. Thus far the group has written a critique of Chretien’s white paper and printed a publication entitled This land was their land. Both the critique and the publication have been sent to all K-W Churches as wellas to all MP’s and MPP’s.

Reserve

contacted

In the cours.e of development O.S.J.R. made contact with an Ontario Indian reserve, where a number of members spent many hours talking with the Indians gaining first-hand information concerning the state of Indian affairs. According to the Indians at this reserve one of the great-

est problems they face today is that of their identity. Indian children are caught between home and school, between the culture of the reserve and white canadian society, between Indian myths and the modern media. It was learned that the Indian language was growing weaker from lack of use, and Indian cultural history is nowhere documented in a specific way such that the -transmission of information and cultural identification can take place. The tribal chief spoke of the inevitability of Indian assimilation as it has been the policy of Canadian government for the last 100 years. This first-hand encounter

with the realities of the situation caused O.S.J.R. to re-establish priorities. The implications of the above for the direction of this group in terms of the placement of efforts were far-reaching. The quest% which has to be considered immediatt y was should the group devote time and -esources in an attempt to “smash” the white paper? If they considered in any way that one of the tasks was indeed to defeat it, they felt they would be overlooking the real fact that the government has the power to carry out and enforce its overall plan for the elimination of Indians. This did not imply that the white paper wouldn’t be used to show the oppressiveness of the Liberal government’s Indian policy, but it did indicate that efforts would have to be regrounded to avoid being‘ characterized as a “protest” group. Accordingly it was concluded that a prime task would be to involve the Indian people in O.S.J.R. research. In effect, working with an Ontario reserve would provide a microcosmic model of Indian society and a different perspective from which to view white Canadian society.

Charity

no help

Because of the group’s commitment to work with Indian people contact was made with Ontario native development fund, an Indian organization, which hopes to be a bank of resources to enable Indian people in many communities to move towards goals they choose. O.N.D.F. has unsuccessfully attempted to obtain a portion of the funds from the K-W overseas aid committee which organizes the annual Miles for Millions march. After several promises to alter their charter to include the Canadian Indian in their aid programme, O.S.J.R. was informed at a formal meeting of overseas aid executives that such a radical change was not feasible. The executives suggested however, the group work from within the structure of overseas aid and perhaps in a few years succeed in altering the charter. Having decided that this is not feasible, O.S.J.R. is in the process of investigating other alternatives for immediate help. In an attempt to communicate the Indian issue and other related injustices, the group’s immediate activity within the local K-W community will take the form of assemblies at all local high schools. These assemblies will commence in the early part of March. They feel investigations, and other efforts will need to be an ongoing process that will continue until Indians, and all disadvantaged and powerless peoples are able to share in the benefits which modern society is capable of offering. Anyone wishing to contribute to, or avail himself of, the facilities of this organization in any way is urged to contact the :

on Indians

Although interested in the Canadian scene at large, O.S.J.R. found it necessary to focus concern in a particular area.\ Due to the june release of Jean. Chretien’s white paper on Indian policy, the Indian issue was deemed an immediate and pressing concern. The problems confronting the Canadian Indian would provide a microcosm through which the over-all structure of Canadian society could be looked at. At this point activities were organized in several different areas. One division of the organization formed a commercial and communication task force. Their main thrust has been a commercial endeavour established in conjunction with the Cassabonika Indian reserve. Since this particular reserve was unable to market their crafts, stalls were obtained at the Kitchener market where O.S.J.R. members sell the goods on weekends. The majority of O.S.J.R. members however have been involved in research largely centred around the white paper. They have undertaken a detailed examination of all aspects of this policy. l the deprived status of Indians in Canada, the government’s assumption that its “solution” (equal status under the law) will enable Indians to achieve full and equal social and economic status. l the tacit assumption that this legal equality, which is available to all nonIndian Canadians, as well as to Indians without legal status and Metis, has actually lead to their “full and equal” social and economic participation in canadian life. .O the long history of broken treaiies and empty promises which stands behind this Government policy l the actual stated aims and reaction

Monday

Wielding a g-foot effigy of judge Julius Hoffman, the demonstrators drove back the police and began running toward the campus. The crowd’s mood changed abruptly as more police entered the fray, and demonstrators began breaking store windows during the battle which raged over 30 city blocks. In the rush hour battle between chanting demonstrators, city and campus police, and angry commuters unable to get home, 10 persons were hospitalized, including six policemen, and at least 13 were arrested. At San Francisco, during a public meeting in front of the federal building, 20 lawyers symbolically burned documents which allowed them to appear in federal cases. At Chicago, demonstrations continued for the third day monday, at the scene of the trial of the seven persons charged with conspiring to cross state lines with the intention of inciting a riot during the democratic party national convention in august 1968. Meanwhile, lawyers prepared appeals to the sentences handed down by judge Hoffman on contempt of court charges.

’

AMERIKA (CUPI)-Demonstrators took to the streets of six U.S. cities monday to protest contempt of court sentences handed out over the previous weekend to seven defendants and two defence attorneys in the Chicago “conspiracy 8” trial. Although demonstrations were peaceful at Stanford, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco, 33 persons were jailed and more than 24 injured after street battles between police and demonstrators broke out during demonstrations at New York and Berkeley. And a time bomb, exploded just after midnight - monday beneath a window at a SanFrancisco police station, injured another 7 policemen. were inEleven persons, including 7 policemen, jured in a melee which broke out between New York police and more than 3,000 demonstrators in front of the city’s federal building-scene of the current trial of 13 black panthers also charged with conspiracy. The riot-equipped police charged the crowd of demonstrators and were met with a hail of shouted abuse, and a barrage of sticks, stones, bottles and snow balls. Twenty demonstrators were arrested, and charged with disturbing the peace. At Berkeley, a happy, joking crowd of 1,500 persons marched from Provo park to the university-lighting fireworks and replacing an american flag with a garbagecan on the park flagpole-until their progresswas blocked by a cordon of police at one intersection.

Hoffman sparked the demonstrations when he sentenced the defendants and their two lawyers to a total of 168 months, 109 days in prison on a total of I59 citations for contempt of court ranging over the duration of the trial which began September 24,1969.

university should give up all rights of discipline except in academic matters, and called for a revision of the provincial university act, which gives the academic senate the right to discipline students. Student council president Rob Garden, who also sat on the Carter committee, disclaimed the report and explained he “did not take the committee seriously, like a lot of other committees’( he sits on. Students at the forum called for creation of a new committee where students would have parity with faculty and administration, and called for rules which govern,ed faculty and students equally. Students endorsed a counterreport prepared by law students Larry Brown and Lenore Boyes which condemned the off-campus jurisdiction granted the university, opposed the arbitrary nature of the proposed regulations and demanded student-faculty parity in establishing disciplinary regulations. The U of S document is the fourth attempt this year by university administrators to impose new, tougher disciplinary regulations on their campuses. During the summer, administrators at Sir George Williams university at Montreal instituted a new code which, among other things, made it illegal to disagree with the code.

On monday night engineering society A made a decision which may bring them into a head-on collision with the department of coordination and placement. The decision was to oppose the policy which is embodied in a letter from the department of COordination. It has become evident in recent placements that employers are becoming more selective in their choice of students and particularly in regard to accepting students who are repeating their academic terms or who have failed a work assignment. This, we believe, you will find quite understandable. As stated in the university calendar, “the co-ordination department. is not responsible for assisting in the placement of students required to repeat an academic term, until evidence of the successful completion of such a term has been received.” However, (for the forthcoming interviews), a repeating student will be allo wed to participate in the employer interviews in the usual manner. Should he be unsuccessful in obtaining employment through these interviews, he then may be required to obtain his own job. In seeking his own job, a student should not approach co-operative companies without the approval of the co-ordination department. A large proportion of these firms will have filled their requirements through the interviews and will not wish to consider further applications. Co-operative companies usually will consult with co-ordination before hiring a co-

cision makers ‘on the sixth floor’ who come up with this sort of policy. Some of the engineering reps felt there were more reasons for this particular policy than a rigid and unconcerned bureaucracy. One person thought the letter was sent out as a cover for the fact that co-ordination does not have enough jobs available for co-op students. The companies are only becoming more selective because they can afford to be.

letter

Several people felt the coordination department is using students to find jobs for the coop program. When a student has to go and find his own job (without, approaching co-op companies), he is providing a convenient in for co-ordination There was little doubt co-ordination uses these ‘ins’ to bring new companies into the co-op program. The engineering society is presently doing a study to find out the real policy of the co-

ordination department and how that policy has changed over the last five years. They are particularly interested in who has the power to change policy. Glenn Hedge, president of engsoc A, is going to take the letter to the co-ordination student advisory council and the faculty council in an attempt to put pressure on the department to change the stand it has taken on repeating students.

The letter was mailed out to those students who are repeating an academic term. It was the feeling of the people at the meeting that the co-ordination department is backing out of its obligations to students. All co-op students pay the $47 fee for co-ordination. Engsot feels if they are repeating a term they will have enough trouble getting a job without the co-ordination department giving them more trouble. One student rep explained that it is bad enough when a student has to sit through the same classes again just because he had a fight with his girlfriend two weeks before the exams. There is no reason why he should go through an additional hassle with co-ordination, which is supposed to exist as a service for him. Most of the people at the meeting were very upset with the de-

Counselling drug-users Where can a student on a bad drug trip find sympathy and treatment? The university’s counselling services has responded to this need in keeping with their role of offering guidance rather than judge, ment. According to Bill Dick, head of counselling services,” We are here to be of help; we do not condone or reprimand the person. We are not morally or legally bound to tell the police. ” The rap room, in the campus center is staffed by student volunteers. This extension of counselling services offers students a place to drop in and chat, or freak out. There is always a counsellor on call to assist them in any problems that are too severe for the volunteers to handle. When someone comes in on a bad trip, the counsellor may take any of a few courses of action depending on the severity of the case. According to Doug Torney who is the rap room’s consultant, a counsellor may simply advise that the person be talked down; be administered Valium, which can be obtained from health services. The emergency ward has been very helpful and cooperative when treating people although the doctors-on-call, who could be any one of a hundred people, may not be.

operative student who is looking for his own job. (The list of co-operative companies is in the calendar). When employment is secured, the student must inform‘the co-ordination department indicating the name and address of the employer and the name, initials and title of the representative of the employer whom the co-ordination department should contact. The employment secured will be considered as a work term requiring a work report and emplo yer.evaluation and the student will be visited by a coordinator.

Some people in the medical profession’ feel morally bound in aiding the police to apprehend “those who might be contributing to the delinquency of their children”. Although there is no law against being on drugs, a drug-taker would want to avoid being suspect. There have been times when the user made the mistake of having some drugs in his possession when at the hospital or health center in which case he could be convicted of possession. Valium is the downer drug that is usually used to counteract most chemicals and since it is a prescription drug, a record is kept of who it was given to. It is also used for other reasons such as to calm nerves,, so having taken Valium is not even sufficient grounds to render a persou suspect. The police have been checking doctors’ files in order to get names of people who frequently get drugs from various places. Health services has no firm policy ensuring a patient that his case remains confidential, hence leaving such decisions with the various doctor or nurse on duty at the time. At present, counselling services is trying to work out an agreement with health services on policy.

Courts \

to judge

MONTREAL (CUP)-The administration of Loyola College ran into little opposition monday as it petitioned for a declaratory judgement in the case of dismissed nuclear physicist S.A. Santhanam. At the end of a day-long hearing in the Quebec superior court, administration lawyer T.R. Slattery, petitioned judge Leon Lalande for an outright judgement in the contract dispute between Santhanam and the college, after Santhanam’s lawyer agreed the professor had no legal claim to be rehired after july 31, 1969. Neither Santhanam nor the canadian association of university teachers, the national faculty pressure group which has backed him in his seven-month contract dispute at Loyola, are arguing that the administration was legally bound to hire the professor. Both maintain however, that the college was bound by a “moral” obligation in Santhanam’s case, and the legal decision which will result from monday’s court case is not expected to prevent further conflict between the CAUT and the Loyola administration. Santhanam’s firing from Loyola at the beginning of the fall term provided the fuel for one of the most extended conflicts in the history of Canadian universities, as students and faculty first protested the firing, and then escalated their actions when the Loyola administration attempted to purge 27 anti-administration faculty last december. Santhanam signed a statement

in december 1967, stating his intention to resign in 1969, but was later given a contract for the 1969-70 year which stated it “‘superseded all other verbal agreements”, But the physicist was not rehired by the college, and a recommendation by the Loyola senate that his case be re-opened was rejected in june, 1969, by the college’s allJesuit board of trustees. No reason *was given for the dismissal. -

CAUT has not yet announced whether or not the organization will go ahead with an official censure of the college for ducking its ‘tmoral obligations” in the Santhanam’case. The censure would amount to an ‘official blacklisting of Loyola by the 12,000-member CAUT, which claims to represent the interests of 80 percefit of faculty in Canadian universities.

.Mctn’s extinction The possibility of mans extinction is daily becoming more real, Dr. D. Chant told 350 people at Waterloo’s First United Church tuesday. Chant, chairman of the department of zoology and biology at the University of Toronto and a member of Toronto’s pollution probe spoke on the problems of pollution. He characterized the pollution problem as rising out of a world that is a finite environment. The resources of our environment are not limitless as we have assumed for centuries. Eventually nature rebels against the abuse by man and no longer absorbs his consumptions and wastes at a limitless rate. With a spiralling rise in population and no control on our use of the surrounding resources, the possibility of extinction becomes more real. “More animal species are extinct than are alive today, and the reason for extincfriday

near?

tion is inflexibility to some change in their environment. Man must change his course or perish. . The example of Domtar being fined a trivial $1000 dollars for polluting in northern Ontario was used to show the inadequacy of existing fines and legislation. Chant stressed the need for stronger penalties and more aggressive action by the people of a community. A need for the development of social consciousness was also mentioned as an important requirement. This is achieved through a process of self-edhcation, education of others and action ranging from quiet pickets and legal courts to civil riots. “Whatever action that is necessary must be used.” The formation of groups is also necessary in combating social problems such as pollution since the individual is powerless in a large bureaucratic society. 20 february

“The federation is a worthwhile organization. I’m hoping that it can take a more meaningful form. ” is the way Bob Epp, grad math, feels about student government. He said that he partially agrees with the direction that Bur.ko will be taking for the federation. “A federation which tries to represent all students cannot be a political vanguard. It can find a more meaningful policy direction that has a broader base of acceptance. Epp is open-minded about his position. “I don’t see myself as having any special qualifications for this job.” he said. “No more or no less than anyone else. ” He has mixed reactions to the new form of university government. “It could mean a mere change in structure which doesn’t allow the power to be distributed to the people any more than the last system.

Kathy Dorshner has been active in the Board of Student activities in the past and is chief returning officer in the present elections.

In this way at least some measure of representation is achieved. She considers herself as a qualified representative due to her previous- experience in which she has learned quite a bit about the federation. She agrees with Burko’s platform. She feels that council is irrelevant if it attempts to act as if it is completely iepresentative. The apathy on the part of the students in this elect& is an indication of the fact that the

When commenting on the most recent petition for withdrawing from the federation, he said that “I signed the petition but here I am on council”. He hopes that federation reverses it’s decision not to hold beauty contests and contributes to the financing of a grad house.

Doug Austrom, who is in first year international studies, will be representing Renison college for the next year. He outlined his reasons for running for council. “I’m interested in becoming involved in the activities of the federation and student council is the most direct approach. I would like to represent Renison and its interests. ” He thinks there should be a compulsory federation collecting fees plus a vo1untar.y union to subsidize it. “The present amount of apathy is due to the past performances of the federation in the last half year.” stated Austrom. Ho*.-iever he doesn’t think that taking the politics out of student council will so’lve all the problems. “There will still be some conflicts with th. administration. ” he said.

THEM

WILLIE

BOY WAS

The best Western I have seen in years is Te// them- willie boy was here, directed by Abraham Polonsky from a script he based on a novel by Harry Lawton. The picture abounds in the pleasure of its form: desert scenery, frontier types, a sustained chase and a tense stalking match, great horsemanship, and not one but two pairs of star-crossed lovers. But what gives the film a dramatic stature overshadowing the most adroit of horse operas, is that it’s got its values right. The picture, based I am told on a true incident, occurs at the turn of the century, when the Indian was being transformed in the white man’s eyes from the most exciting of big game, to the most despised of minorities (he lacked even the economic value of the Negro). It opens, as so many memorable adventure stories have opened, with a man dropping off a train on a remote section of the track. That is Willie Boy, an untamed Indian returning to the reservation. And that, without going into the plot, which I would rather not do, is an adequate summary of the picture. The very look of Willie, the way he walks, the way he leans against a wall is enough to set itching the trigger fingers of the last of the Indian hunters. And the new breed of Westerners, those merchants and traders who think they have solved the Indian problem, are as dumbfounded as the,y are bruised by the consequences of underestimating Willie. His effect on the other Indians is enigmatic; a good deal of the picture takes place in the eyes of the tame braves who ride posse in pursuit of Willie. His girl’s father will not accept him as a suitor by Indian law or by white man’s law; to the

HERE tribe he is a birthright they have renounced; an ancient glory and a present reproach. There is no place for Willie. I should exphasis that if there is any moralizing in the above, it is mine, not Polonsky’s. He has a tale of high adventure to tell and he goes about it with the extovert tools of his trade. Relationships are established on the spot, with conventional gestures and the minimum of dialogue; suspense is built by the conventional cutting back and forth from hunters to prey. We have all been raised on the belief that the Western is the Hollywood’s greatest contribution to popular entertainment, and Polonsky trusts that assumption enough not to hedge his drama with sophistication. The cast is splendid, particularly Robert Blake as Willie, and Robert Redford as the sheriff who knows that hunting Indians is no longer a vocation. Susan Clark is the reservation agent, doctor, teacher and reluctant mistress of the sheriff, a kind of Katherine Hepburn girl, whom she plays with personal charm and enough plausibility to keep the plot rolling. Katherine Ross, as Willie’s bride of abduction, is lovely and obviously worth the gamble he takes, but the squaw role is inevitably recessive. The best thing about the cast as a whole is that it looks as though it has never heard of Paladin. Wi/lie boy is a personal victory for Mr. Polonsky, though that may taste a little bitter in his mouth. He made his first picture - Force of evi& - with John Garfield - in 1948; this is his second, more than twenty years later. That is what the blacklist did to him.

Do you want to see a movie that will make you remember your childhood days when you sat in front of the T.V. on Sunday evening totally involved in the Disneyland scene, and at the same time present the wonders of animation drawn to classical music? Well if so you will enjoy Walt Disney’s Fantasia.

Apparently, it’s one of the first animated colour films ever made and it can be admired from that aspect. It is not an ordinary cartoon show where the background doesn’t move with the characters in the foreground, but presents complete animation of a scene - something like a regular motion picture only completely hand-drawn. There are about five really don’t remember, some aspects of each.

you don’t want to see the movie, then listen to the music and you can probably figure it out. It would be advisable to listen to the music and admire the colours in the next section rather than try to follow the story. It’s the typical boy meets girl routine. The boys and girls ae centaurs with the most exquisite human bodies. Cherubs and flying horses also are included. A Hippopotamus ballerina and all the charms that such a creature could have is the star of the

different parts, I think, I, but I will try to describe

The movie begins with the orchestra. A man is talking about how the movie came to be made. This man, and he could be famous, speaks after every segment of the film and before the next part.

- the famous Stravinski - comes The conductor up to the podium and the music begins. Different colours appear when new instruments join in the symphony and seem to be reflected onto the conductor. Then the screen becomes nothing but colours. Colours that flow with the music. It is something you feel you see when you close your eyes and visualize colours. Journeying along with the music, next there is a fantasy scene to the music of the Nutcracker suite. Little fairies dance around bringing out the spring flowers then the fall leaves and then present an ice fantasy. Oh yes, mushrooms do a little dance also. If fairies turn you on ok. The animation and colours are enjoyable. Onto the next segment, which probably everyone who ever was an ardent fan of the Disneyland show will remember - the Sorcerer‘s apprentice. It’s all about Mickey Mouse who is the apprentice to the sorcerer which means he does all the joejobs. Mickey has a bad time with a broom that magically becomes many brooms after Mickey hacks it up. Violence is justifiable you see, because he couldn’t stop the broom from carrying the water by any other means available to him. The music is quite intense while Mickey tumbles about in the water. It gradually builds up to the climax where the sorcerer appears and puts an end to all the confusion and turmoil. Sympathize totally with Mickey. How many times have you been caught in a similar situation and what happened to you ? Well I won’t spoil the suspense. If

followng section. It is extremely funny even to think about. Hippons are the dainty girls, elephants are the cowardly males, ostritches also are ballerinas, and the villains are played by alligators, who are of course after the prima ballerina. All works out well in the end, as always. Another section is about dinosaurs, molten lava, evoution and all that stuff. It’s like the re-creation of the world right before your very eyes. The last section is in two parts. The first beginning with very spooky music which gradually becomes louder and louder as we proceed down into the depths of hell. Satan calls the spirits from the town at night. They float out of graves and haunted domains on horseback, brooms or on their own ghostly waves. Hell is really a neat place. All these beasts dance around a beautiful golden fire. The ‘colours in this section are fantastic. But with the dawn the creatures have to hide. Dawn is a religious experience accompanied of course with religious music. The plots were obviously made for children. But if you don’t think you are a child, the animated music can be entertaining and interesting. Seeing how artists interpret music is enough reason to go if you are looking for something to do. Remember, only go if you want to. friday

The best way to redistribute wealth is a good game of poker. 0 Self-righteousness is a form of salvation-it allows one to sacrifice others without remorse. l There are two classes of men-the inferior and the superior. The inferior suspect as much; the superior know it. l It is never a question of ‘changing’ one-s values; it is more correctly a question of ‘whipping them into line’. l Never give a liberal an even break. l Revere thy elders-patience rewards all men. l Few men would rather think than obey. This is a perfectly natural condition. l Never put off til tomorrow who can be ‘done in’ today. 0 Qualification is secondary to desire; Carnegie was a self-starter. 0 Watch closely the man who utilizes the media-some men are of less noble intent than John Wayne. l Spare the rod and spoil the world. 0 All men love a man who succeeds; if they pretend otherwise, its just sour grapes. l Abstinence makes the passions stronger. l To err is mildly human; to forgive-decadent. l Never before have so few taken so much from so many-but that-s what makes a country great. l Give to charityit never quite gets there and @‘s tax deductible. l Get what you like, it’s for others to like what they get. 0 Divine Right is great, but a lash sure comes in handy. 0 The road to hell is paved with good intentions; therefore, the road to heaven must be paved with bad ones.

It Seems that there is a misunderstood and much-maligned minority on campus which, no matter how hard it tries, remains unheard. No, I’m not talking about the left this time. I’m talking about that group that thinks itself in the majority-the silent, affluent, self-righteous ‘right. ’ If you find yourself placed in this category, take comfort in the thought that you are not alone. You certainly keep company with some of the finest barnyard animals in existence (all the way from asses to pigs.) These creatures are well deployed throughout the faculty and administration ; some of them were even liberal, but finally saw the money. Now relax-I come not to slander but to save. Your problem has probably been a lack of good insight. Insight being my ‘business’, I’ll undertake to transform myself into a Waterloo version of William Buckley Jr. So gather round all ye budding entrepreneurs and let 01’ Penner give you a little schmaltz to chew on:

Despite such amiable national spokesmen as R.B. Behnett, this movement has had troubles getting its goose step off the ground. But never fear, for with these brilliant insights under your belt you are ready to face the hostile world. And with a grain of salt remember, its not what’s right that counts, it’s what’s expedient-this is the foremost lesson of history. After all, what’s good for Ayn Rand and Cardinal Spellman is surely good enough for you and me.

-A

LTHOUGH MUCH public attention has recently been focused on Edgar enson’s White paper on taxation, there has been another white paper ‘presented by the government, the white paper on indian policy, which is worthy of equal consideration by the Canadian public. This White Paper is important in the first place simply because it proposes to legislate out of existence the roughly halfmillion registered and non-registered Indians in Canada, a policy that has led to the charge of “cultural genocide” from many Indian spokesmen. Secondly, it is of great importance because it. provides a classic example of how western, liberal governments forever fail to arrive at real solutions to the problems they face because they are unable to comprehend, or admit, the true nature of the society in which they exist. The White paper on indian policy does not appear as a monstrous, immoral plan for the elimination of the Canadian Indian popula’tion. Rather, it is more subtle. The government admits, albeit quite paternalistically that the Indian populatian of Canada is faced with grave problems; an incredibly high infant mortality rate, an average annual income of less than $2,000 a life expectancy drastically less than that of white Canadians, and inore. . The government also agrees that something must be done about these problems. Thus it presents the white paper, cloaked in liberal sentiments, as the “final solution” to the Indian problem. On the face of it then, there is nothing blatantly immoral about the government’s intentions. But given the massive Indian outcry against this policy, it would seem obvious that something, somewhere, has gone wrong. What is needed, then, is an examination of some of the significant passages of the government paper to see just where the problem arises.

Legality

doesrit

The government stating :

opens

To be an Indian is to man’s needs and abilities.

paper with

This fatuous beginning sets the tone for the government’s condescending approach to the Indian’s problems throughout the paper. Of course the Indian is a man. Did anyone doubt that he was a human being? But the government seems to feel the need to reassure the Canadian population that Indians are people. To be an Indian is to lack power-the act as owner of your lands, the power your own money and, too often, the change your own condition.

power to to spend power to

This again states the obvious; if the Indian had political power, then he would have no need for the government’s special legislation. ,But more importantly, this admission damages the government’s contention that all the Indian needs is equality under the law. Simple legal equality cannot ever guarantee the political power that the government admits the Indian lacks. Not always, but too often, to be an Indian is to be without-without a job, a good house, or running water; without knowledge, training or technical skill- and, above al/, without those feelings of dignity and self-confidence that a man must have if he is to walk with his head held high.

University

of Waterloo

886 the Chevron

What is important about this passage is that it exposes the government’s euro-centric conception of culture; thus the government believes that running water and good houses form the basis of all culture, without examining the indian idea of culture apart from these material things. All these conditions of the Indians are the product of history and have nothing to do with their abilities and capacities.

This passage is crucial to the whole government argument, for by attributing the Indians’ problems to an abstract entity called “history”, the government mystifys the situation. History does not produce things, men do. And the men who produced the problems of the Indians were the white men. Thus one would think that Indians might have a legitimate claim against white society for reparations for past wrongs. However, by attributing these wrongs to “hisprecludes the possibility tory”, the Government Indian relations with other of such a claim. Canadians began with special treatment by government and society, and special treatment has been the rule since Europeans first settled in Canada. Special treatment has made of the lndians a community disadvantaged and apart.

This passage presents the second main point of the government’s argument, and it is equally as misleading as the previous one. Special treatment did not make the Indians disadvantaged; it was only harmful special treatment that did this-that is, the murdering of Indians and theft of indian lands by white men. But the remedy for this negative “special treatment” is not the abolition of special treatment, but rather the institution of positive treatment. Now that Indians have been reduced to a disadvantaged status, the solution to the problem is not to suddenly decide to treat them as equals without first raising them up to real equal economic status. Rather, what is required is positive special treatment, which would first provide Indians with a material basis of equality before engaging in empty egalitarian rhetoric. This proposal is a recognition made plain in a year’s intensive Indians people throughout Canada.

of the necessity discussions with

This passage makes a factual claim which simply does not seem to be true. The “intensive discussions” consisted of brief meetings with various indian bands; at no time were the indian organizations and brotherhoods consulted. And the government’s claim that this of needs brought out policy is a “recognition” is belied by the fact in these “discussions that the major point of the policy is the abolition of indian reserves; yet this was not mentioned in any of the Indians consultation hearings. The policies proposed recognize the simple reality that the separate legal status of Indians and the policies which have flowed from it have kept the Indian people apart from and behind other Canadians.

This simply restates the government argument that special (or separate) treatment has created the Indians’ problems. And as seen above, this is not the case; oppression and exploitation at the hands of the white man has done this. The remedy for this is not simply to stop the oppression, but to repair the past wrongs, as as much as possible, perhaps in the form of reparations. In recent years there has been a rapid increase in the Indian population. Their health and education levels have improved. There has been a corresponding rise in expectations that the structure of separate treatment cannot meet.

This claim is simply not true. As a matter of fact, the Indian mortality rate has increased by six percent over the last three years. What is needed is immediate attention to the problem (that is, special treatment of some sort) not the governmental formula of treating everyone equally without provision for special need.

Partnerships The Government

The Government

seeks a partnership to achieve a better goal. The partners in &his search are the Indian people, the governments of the provinces, the Canadian community as a whole and the Government of Canada. As all partnerships do, this wjll require consultation, negotiation, give and take, and co-operation if it is to succeed.

But unequal partners, operating from unequal economic bases, soon find ‘that their partnership dissolves into a single-partner pArtnership, as the lajrger partner dominates and overwhelms the lesser. For a true partnership, the material basis of equality must first be provided. Governments can set examples change the hearts of men.

This statement is simply false, as any observer of modern mass media’s ties with governments will well know. Indian people must be persuaded, suade themselves, that this path will to a fuller and richer life.

must lead

perthem

This statement seems out of place in a paper supposedly offering a tentative policy for consideration, and it contradicts the government’s assertion that the ‘hearts of men cannot be changed’. If the government claims that Indians must be persuaded, it would seem the policy decision has -already been made, and that the only task left is to implement it. This seems to be a long way from the stated government reliance on consultations, discussion, and meetings with the indian people to determine their future. If Indian people are to become full mimbers of Canadian society they must be warmly welcomed by that society.

This again shows the euro-centric outlook of the government, since it places the burden of acceptance on the white members of that society. Nowhere is it mentioned that the Indians might not wish to join our white society. The policy rests upon the fundamental right of indian people to full and equal participation in the cultural, social, economic and political ltie of Canada. 1 To argue against this right is to argue -#Or discrimination, isolation and separation.

Again the government states its fundamental position on the Indians’ problems: namely, that they must be integrated into Canadian society. Of course, the government does not state just how “full and equal” this participation in canadian life will be if no special treatment is given to Indians. We may easily foresee the Indians being forced to give up what assistance they now receive and instead rely on welfare, but other than this the government seems to have little to offer. And of course, to argue against the government is not to argue for reparations to first enable the Indians to achieve economic equality before taking away their treaty rights.

An important clue to tions may be garnered sage.

This cquld be the giveaway to the government’s reasons for this policy. What is brought up here is the question of taxes. The government is saying that it will not provide services for people who are not in a position to pay taxes. And this is crucial, not so much in the form of. income taxes (since most Indians do not make enough money to pay such taxes), but in the form of land tax, which will certainly affect the Indians drastically once the reservesarebrokenup.

With this, the government concludes its basic arguments for the proposed policy, and turns to the specific points of that policy. L egislative and constitutional bases of discrimination must be removed. Canada cannot seek the just society and keep discriminatory legislation on its statute books.

- ,This history of broken treaties and false promises raises grave questions as to how these “legal” obligations are to be fulfilled. Yet this is one of the crucial issues concerning indian policy since all indian spokesmen seem to agree that before further steps are taken to formulate an indian policy it is absolutely necessary to fulfil1 existing treaty obligations. However in response to this concern over treaty rights, the government simply proposes to appoint a commissioner who will: classify the claims that in his judgment ought to be referred to the courts or any special quasijudicial body that may be recommended.

What this does is simply to remove the fulfillment of these obligations one step further from the government. In effect, the government will not only decide what is “lawful”, but it will also appoint a functionary who will be the sole judge of what claims will even be considered as either lawful or unlawful. Further, although some brief mention is made of these “lawful” claims (that is, treaty rights), no mention is made of “moral” obligations. This quickly absolves the government from any responsibility for the great number of Indians without treaties. It eliminates any basis for indian claims for reparations. And it effectively proscribes any of the aboriginal land claims, such as those being put forward in British Columbia. The government ends the specific mention of these claims by stating: These are so general and undefined that it is not realistic to think of them as specific claims capable of remedy except through a policy and program that will end injustice to Indians as members of the Canadian community.

The final point of the government’s proposals is perhaps the most significant, for on face value it seems reasonable and just. However, the reality of its implementation could have disastrous consequences for Canadian Indians. 6. Control of Indian the Indian people.

lands

should

be transferred

Thus, it surely seems just that Indians have control of indian lands; however, certain problems quickly come to light. In the first place, as previously noted, the government will be the final judge of what actually is indian land. Secondly, the question arises as to how long this land will effectively remain within indian control. Given the reality of expropriation, the earliermentioned need to pledge the land as security in order to obtain necessary, development capital I (most probably with U.S. corporations), and the problem of land taxes, it would seem unlikely that the land would remain under indian control for a long period of time. And thest ment isions ing :

despite its earlier claim that “those furbehind must be helped most”, the governdoes not intend to make special tax provfor the Indian, as evidenced by the follow-

When the Indian people see that the only way they can own and fully control land is to accept taxation the way other Canadians do, they will make that decision.

The Government then proceeds to investigate the problems of implementing this policy. The Government proposes to ask that the associations act as the principal agencies through which consultation and negotiatiens would be conducted, but each band would be consulted about gaining ownership of its land holdings.

And this, in itself, raises further

problems.

The indian associations mentioned were not consulted by the government in the formation of this policy but now they are to be consulted about its implementation. Given the past history of the “consultations” it would be quite surprising if the associations felt much would be accomplished by more “consultations” with the government, concerning a policy especially “consultations” to which they are solidly opposed. Secondly, the Government states that each band would be “consulted” about its particular holdings. D The problem here is that the band is not an indian organization at all; rather it is a unit of Indians set up for governmental administrative purposes, often overlooking tribal differences. This concept is explicitly defined (by white men, of course) in the second point-of the Indian Act. It is with this unit, and not with the indian organizations that the government will discuss specific land transfers. The Government hopes’ to have policy in effect within five years.

the bulk

of the

This passage is significant in two respects. In the first place, it seems to show that the government is not really too concerned with the proposed “consultations”, and is preparing to go ahead with this policy. ’ And secondly, it shows that the government is not at all in touch with the reality Indians would face once this policy was put into practice. Given the government’s avowed intention to proceed, its refusal to consider special treatment of some compensatory sort for the Indians (perhaps reparations), and the reality of the class society and economy into which the Indians would be thrown; it can only be concluded that the government - consciously or not - will prepare within the next five years the final elimination of the Canadian Indian as a definable body within this society.

Ottawa

assumes

The government

too much

concludes

the white paper on indian policy by stating: A policy can never provide the ultimate solutions to all problems. A policy can achieve no more than is desired by the people it is intended to serve. This shows the government’s aversion to realassumes ity, since it seems the government this policy is actually desired by the Indians as the solution to their situation. But in actual fact, this policy has been virtually unamimously decried by Indian spokesmen as a program of “cultural genocide”. Finally the government states the essential feature of the government’s proposed new policy for Indians is that it acknowledges that truth by recognizing the central and essential role of the indian people in solving their own problems. It will provide, for the first time, a non-disciminatory framework within which, in an atmosphere of freedom, the indian people could, with other Canadians, work out their own destiny.

This underscores the whole problem of the government’s proposed indian policy, for it again shows how far removed from reality the government’s assessment of its own society actually is. The government is able to offer this policy as a framework within which Indians will work out their own destiny only because it subscribes to the myth that non-indian C’anadians, who are afforded legal equality, are able themselves to control their own destiny. However well-mean-

ing or malevolent, no government can hope to provide a realistic solution to problems when it bases its whole approach on the assumption of a myth. * * * In view of this examination of the White paper on indian policy it is obvious that something is drastically wrong with the government’s proposed “final solution” to the Indian’s problems. This does not seem to result from any manifest government hostility or indifference to the problem (although this hostility very well might be present but unspoken). And it does not result solely from the internal inconsistencies, distortions and half-truths found in the paper. Rather, it follows from two main assumptions that the government makes -assumptions common to any liberal investigation of a problem which renders any liberal solution to the problem all but impossible. THE FIRST ASSUMPTION is that “history” has somehow created all these problems for the Indian. But as shown earlier, this ahistoric approach (common to most liberal spokesmen) serves only to obscure the fact that history consists in the actions of men relating to their specific socio-economic situation, and that white men (not some abstract entity called “history”) have done this to the Indians. Thus, the liberal approach precludes the possibility of reparations to the Indians for past wrongs suffered at the hands of white men. SECONDLY, THE government states that “special treatment” of the Indians has made them a disadvantaged group apart from the rest of Canadian society. This ignores the historical fact that the Indians’ plight had been created by negative special treatment (such as the payment of reparations to Indians to bring them up to a standard of life whereby they could enter Canadian society as truly equal economic partners if they so wish). The reason the Government cannot deal with this point is that it assumes the common liberal myth that society, as it is now t constituted, affords an equal opportunity to all of its members. That is, society forms an undifferentiated whole, devoid of classes, and that given /egal equality, the Indian will be able to proceed up the ladder of social mobility as can non-indian Canadians. This liberal myth of a classless, upwardly-mobile socio-economic whole had been ably exploded by John Porter’s book The vertical mos&, which clearly documents the existence of rigid classes, without possibility of upward movement in Canadian society. Thus, in the final analysis, the government white paper cannot hope to offer a viable solution to the problems confronting Canadian Indians because it is based on a mythical model of Canadian society which does not oorrespond to the socio-economic reality with which all Canadians, indian and non-indian, are faced.

Swimtiers defeat Mat; head for OQAA finak

1 Will THIS ever give you a

by Paul Solomonian Chevron Staff

If last Saturday’s action was any indication, the battle for positions behind Toronto, McGill, and Western at this week’s OQAA swimming championships will be the highlight of the meet. The warriors and McMaster marlins, two of the four teams behind the top three, battled to a 57-56 warrior decision that went right down to the final relay. On form, the warriors have to worry only about beating either Guelph or Queens to reach fifth place, the goal set for the squad by coach Bob Graham at the beginning of the season. But the marlins will still be heard from, especially in their home pool, and the warriors could just as easily end up seventh as fourth. Saturday’s dual meet was an extremely hard-fought battle. After losing the opening relay, Waterloo’s Doug Lorriman and Haig Moreton came one-two in the 1000 to tie the score. The warriors moved ahead with George Ray’s win in the 200 free and were never headed from that point. With two events to go, Waterloo held a slim one point lead. Since Mat had a lock on the final relay, it was up to the divers. Lester Newby and Brian Hilko performed in fine fashion to sweep the S-metre board. The resulting victory will give the warriors a great psychological boost for the OQAA meet. In addition to his victory in the 200 free, Ray notched wins in the 100 and 500 free events.

The basketball athenas had a pre-tourney scrimmage against the London grads of the Ontario Ladies Basketball Association League. The grads took a 60-55 win over the athenas, using their height to good advantage. In shooting, the two teams had even percentages but the grads controlled the boards and thus were able to put up more shots for the win. Waterloo scored 19 points on free throws, taking advantage of the bonus rule used by girl’s teams in the OLBA league. Leading the athenas both of-

1000 metres also took a second in the 200 fly. Hilko and Newby split the boards, with the former winning the l-metre. Mat’s Bob MacKenzie picked up 50 points in his last two dives to beat out Newby for, second. (Hilko’s margin was a slim 122.05-121.70). Bob Peeling took two of Mat’s four individual wins with victories in the 50 yard free style and 200 butterfly There was some interesting second-guessing going on between the coaches prior to the 200 fly and 100 free. Graham, figuring that Mat would send Peeling into the freestyle, kept Roy out of the fly, his specialty, and went with Lorriman. This would put Roy in the 100 against Peeling and likely produce a double win. Mat caught on to this skulduggery and put Peeling in the fly, a devious move that gave them a split in the .two races and a 10-8 edge in points. As a result the final outcome was very much in doubt at that point. Fortunately Hilko, Newby and company were up to the task at hand. The championship meet goes this friday and Saturday at McMaster, a 17-event marathon spread over two gruelling days of heats and finals. The divers have to go eleven times from each board with only the top advancing after five dozen rounds and the best six going into the last three. A fifth place finish for the warriors, following the athena’s stunning win ten days ago, would do well for the future of the twoyear-old aqua tic program.

fensively and defensively was Sue Murphy, playing her best game of the season. Murphy made good moves under the basket to turn rebounds into points. She was top scorer with 16 points and top rebounder with 10. Second in scoring for Waterloo was MaryAnn Gaskin with 11. The top point-getters for the London team were Jane Garris and Elaine McRae with 14 points each. The London grads represented a stronger challenge than any O.Q.W.C.I.A. team thus giving the Athenas a chance to realize the full potential of both their offence and defence.

The basketball warriors are no longer in the race for the second and last play-off spot in the league as a result of a sound defeat at the hands of the Windsor lancers. Again it was a bad second half in which Windsor took control that ruined the warriors. Plagued by bad shooting, no rebounding, and a good Windsor defence, the warriors fell more and more behind and finally lost 79-62. Waterloo opened up a lead of 3428 with about two minutes left in the first half. Up ‘till then, the score had been tight, as each team exchanged baskets. Two clutch baskets in a row by Dal Hajdu put the warriors up, but trying to ride the momentum they had built led them to be too anxious for the long pass and the quick basket. Windsor was able to make interceptions or catch the warriors up court and came back to tie the score at 34-34. The half ended 37-36 for Windsor. Jaan Laaniste led the warrior offence, scoring 12 points, and Dave Crichton led the defence with his rebounding and defensive

The early driving of deLaire and Sante Salvador pulled plenty of warrior fouls and resulted in Waterloo shifting to a zone defence to lessen the chance of their big men getting into foul trouble. Waterloo came out in the second half with the idea of driving a lot

Rumour has it that something is.wrong with warrior Dennis Wing. Dave Cricton looks into the subject. , Leading scorers in the game were, for Waterloo, Laaniste with 21, Kieswetter and Hamilton 8 and Bilewicz with 7. For Windsor, Lenti had 19, deLaire, who was played very sparingly (thank God! ), had 13 along with Salvador, and Orange had 10. The warriors did not exactly go out this year in a blaze of glory. These last two defeats were pretty discouraging for the kids who followed the warriors closely and felt that they were good enough to win.

Undoubtedly they have shown that they are good (Western, last Windsor game),but it seems to hinge on putting their scorers together for a good night. Against Toronto Laaniste could not support the forwards with his shooting and they lost. Wednesday, the forwards were unable to score up to par and the same thing happened. The warriors end up the season on Saturday with a game against Guelph in which all that is at stake is remains of the warrior pride.

Tonight: by John

to draw fouls and reduce Windsor’s rebounding strength. The trick didn’t work as the refs weren’t in a hurry to call a foul. Windsor started to run away with the game after a rash of giveaways by the warriors in the second half. For several minutes, the warriors seemed to be really slow to react and Windsor, stepping in front to pick up loose balls, scored themselves into a 44-38 lead. Poor shooting by the warriors, which had been costly in early games of the season, came back to haunt them in the second half. From 49% in the first half, they dropped to 22% in the second as successions of close-in shots were missed and the outside shooting power of Lozynsky, Kieswetter and Hamilton was non-existent. Three of thirteen shots by Jaan Laaniste found the hoop in the second half. The Windsor defence rarely gave a path to the basket and the warriors ended up taking low-percentage, showman shots out of desperation. Probably the biggest factor in the warrior loss was their complete lack of rebounding. In the 2nd half, they were out-rebounded 23-9. On the game it was 50 to 28 for the lancers. Windsor was able to control both boards through out the game. Jack Orange was the big man for the Lancers as he pulled in 14 rebounds, while Laaniste, a guard was the best warrior as he got 8. Even when the warriors did get a rebound, the lancer defence was very successful in tying up the man under the basket.

first place In the past the enthusiasm of Waterloo fans has. prompted visiting sportswriters to conclude that they’ve been “locked up in cages and released just prior to game time.” Can you imagine the psychological effect on a team like Toronto who, in their dressing room, can hear over 2,000 people roaring at the top of their lungs “we’re number one”-a full hour before the game even starts!

at stake

night Waterloo fans will go wild; the barn will never be the same again. Loose pucks : Toronto’s John Wright leads the league with 19 goals and 17 assists for 36 points. Teammate Paul Laurent is second with 31. With no less than eight of the top ten scorers coming from either the blues or the warriors, no wonder the league is so unbalanced... Waterloo’s Bill Hogan and blues Len Burman have both been suspended for this game.. . . ..At present it looks like Ottawa

When the warriors step on the ice tonight before a thunderous ovation it will mark the most important hockey game this university has ever participated in. This match brings a focus to the entire OQAA schedule. For the warriors it will be their first chance to finish number one in the league while the Toronto blues will try to stave off famine after seven glorious Win, lose, or draw, it will be a years of feast. great evening. One thing is for In other seasons Waterloo has sure: if the warriors do win tobeen in similar situations but the end verdict was never in doubt in anyones mind. But this year is different. In two meetings so far they have tied the blues 3-3 and 5-5, looking impressive in both. Just as the first two games were spine tingling thrillers to the last minute, so too will this one. The warriors head into the struggle in the best shape they’ve been in since Christmas. Defencemen Phil Branston and Peter Paleczney have both recovered from leg injuries and should be in top form. Bob Reade, who was out last friday with a bruised shoulder, will also be back. Barring any unforeseen circumstances coach Bob McKillop should be able to ice three full lines and a solid defence, thus avoiding the tiring of several key players which has occurred so often in the past against Toronto. The blues, led by the finest centremen in the league, are also in I top shape. In a contest of such importance you can be sure that coach Tom Watt will have his team flying. He would dearly love to extend his long unbeaten streak in what Toronto supporters deBlues goalie Adrian Watson misses scribe as our “insane asylum.”

and Montreal will represent the eastern division in the OQAA playoffs next weekend at Varsity arena. Lava1 (8-6-O) still has an outside chance of catching Montreal.. In two key games last weekend Loyola edged into first place of the OSLAA with a 7-4 win over Sherbrooke and Calgary annihilated Alberta 9-l.. . Boston University recently won the “Beantown Championship” by edging their crosstown rivals Boston College. The game was played before close to 1500 fans-a far cry from Canadian intercollegiate crowds.

The Waterloo basketball Athenas travel to York University in Toronto this weekend for the O.Q.W.C.I.A. tournament. As defending league champions, the Athenas will be playing to retain the trophy. The strongest threats for the league title will probably come from the Windsor and University of Macdonald College of Montreal. The top three teams from the east and west divisions of the league enter the championship round while all other teams are in the consolation. and Macdonald, Montreal Carleton will represent the east in the top flight while Waterloo, Windsor and either Lutheran or Laurentian will represent the west. Lutheran and Laurentian will have a playoff on Thursday night to decide who will get third spot and thus a berth in the championship round. Windsor and Waterloo ended their league schedule with 9-l records, tied for first place in the western division. Waterloo was awarded the first place tournament position by the flip of a coin. The tournament schedule ingames for each *:olves three team. The teams play the entries from the other division. If there is a tie at the end of this series, a final playoff is needed. The Athenas will play University of Montreal at 9: 30 on ’ Friday morning and then meet Macdonald College at 3: 30 in the afternoon. On Saturday at 1: 30 the Waterloo girls play Carleton. If they play a playoff game, it will be at 4:30 on Saturday. Waterloo is not scheduled to ,neet Windsor in the tournament but might see them in a playoff. For the past two years, Wa14

terloo and Windsor have ended the season tied. Each year, both teams have won all of their tournament games to force a playoff game. In the playoff two years ago, the Windsor Lancerettes took a close 25-21 win. Last year, the Athenas captured the championship by a 63-53 victory in the deciding game. The tourney could very likely follow the same pattern this and the playoff game year could go either way. In their meeting this year, the Athenas and the Lancerettes have split games. In December, the Athenas took a 43-37 win and Windsor came back in January for a 50-40 victory. Both teams won their game on home court and if they meet on a neutral court this weekend, a close match could result. Injuries could play an important role in the tourney as both teams have been plagued with many all season. Offensively, the Athenas have had their best season yet. In 21 games, league and exhibition, the team has scored 1026 points (average of 49 per game) while allowing only 640 against them. In league play, the Athenas have averaged better than 45 points per game while allowing an average of only 27 against. Leading the Athenas in scoring is five year veteran Mary Ann Gaskin with 186 points. Gaskin, last year’s MVP, also had the highest scoring game with 23 points. Second in scoring and leading the team defensively is Patty Bland with 167 points. Charlotte Shaule follows with 105 points. Waterloo will enter the tourney this weekend sporting a fine winning record and regardless of the outcome, for the Athenas, it has been a successful season.

Collister reveals what he really stood for - money

Knowlton’s last gasp revealed him for what he was: the mouthpiece of the money that runs U of W. All the stuff about the president search committee was a load of bull. The truth is that the committee never existed ! No name was taken to senate. There was a long senate meeting, but the subject was the liquor licence for the faculty club and only senators who were members were notified of the special meeting. As for the president, of course Adlington appointed him. Al owns the place. RON NASH math 1 Mech eng Knowlton

prof sees as witty,

amusing

Knowlton Collister was a good hoax. His column “On the Hustings” was often witty and sometimes quite amusing even though it was seldom accurate. The auoccasionally thor (authors?) showed flashes of insight into the problems facing both a president of Uniwat and the search committee, but all too often he (they?) sacrificed accuracy for mockery. The last column was typical. The description of the final stage of the search committee’s activity was pure fiction. In fact, the search committee chose Dr. Matthews deliberately and not by default, the search committee was required to bring only one name to the senate and board, and the senate approved the nomination by a majority of sixty-five percent. I am amused that many faculty and students who are otherwise critical of the Chevron were ready to swallow Knowlton Collister without question. It would be a pity if the author of “On the Hustings” remained anonymous and missed his duecredit for the longest running gag in Chevron’s history. T.A. BRZUSTOWSKI mech eng

To combat this growing problem (due to pollution) man has ingeniously invented the shower, soap and towels. Unfortunately, man has also invented student cards. We, the students of the University of Waterloo, have great facilities at hand for the purposes of keeping our steamy little bodies dirt free. Would it not be a humaine gesture to share these facilities with other people? Would one not take for granted that they would be. available to anyone who happened to feel a little grimy? Would one not shudder in disbelief on hearing that those people who do not share the status of being a “‘student at u. of W.” are prohibited from using our overly abundant supplies of hot water and water faucets?

We should all realize, as we enter the seventies, that the automotive age is over. The outdated demand for extensive, snow-free highways burdens us all with unnecessary taxes. Hovercraft, for instance, could’ operate without these expensive roads. So we must stare at a new truth: the automobile is more relobsolete. Cheaper, iable and cleaner methods of mass transport already exist. Consider the cost of gasoline, repairs, parking, insurance and road construction as well as the original purchasing price ; when all these are totalled we see that cars are just too expensive to tolerate.

I am not writing this as a pissed off Neil Diamond fan. I left the concert before Diamond came on so that both the am radio loving audience and the am radio star would not depress me. If anyone knows anything about music they should be amazed at how Diamond manages to churn out song after song by simply varying his essential chord structure E, A, and D. Montony for the masses. Okay. Assuming that his performance was nothing out of the ordinary, I’ll give the reviewer credit for realizing the mediocrity. I’ll agree also that Dion was very good. But what about the Kinks?

Tsk, tsk. What will our selfstyled revolutionaries of the press think up next ? A year ago a university president, dean, or professor was regarded merely as part of the establishment. Today he’s, of all things, an imperialist! Can we expect to be elitist vipers next year? This widespread inability of the student press to criticize except at a single level of atrocity is creating a Babel-like effect - its own credibility gap.

It is a must for anyone seriously interested in music. So, taking this into account, it was rather sad to see so many people completely missing everything that Davies was pouring out. “Clap politely. Just so they won’t feel bad. I rememb‘er ‘You Really Got Me’, but it’s old. And besides, the Kinks died years ago.” So, all in all, not only the audience, but even the wonderful reviewer does not know enough to listen to what is there.

sand victims are sacrificed in the transportation war, while too many others are wounded. In addition, our cities have become ugly mazes of fuming traffic jams and monotonous parking lots. Electric streetcars and gardens full of oxygen producing plants could happily replace these crowded asphalt deserts. Riding* bicycles downtown would prevent heart attacks at age forty as well as provide clean and convenient city transport. And now, above all else, it is apparent that cars and their fuel processing industries are polluting our air at a rate that will terminate history in less than a century. In the name of survival we must all realize that owning and operating a car will have to be classified as a crime against common sense, and as a sin against the future. RANDAL LEAVITT Math 3

hroughout the hundreds of years of the Indian-government relationship political leaders responsible for matters relating to Indians have been outstanding in their ignorance of the native people and remarkable in ther insensitivity to the needs and aspirations of the Indians in Canada. More often than not, government people simply do not know what they are doing and if they show any evidence of caring, it usually is in direct proportion to political pressure and political expediency at the time. * * * The question of paramount importance in the minds of successive ministers responsible for Indian Affairs appears to have been and to remain the defence of the gross ineptitude of their department. Any attempt to uncover the actual state of affairs and do the necessary housecleaning appears to have been either beyond them or of no interest to them. * *. * L It sometimes seems to Indians that Canada shows more interest in preits rare whooping cranes than its Indians. And Canada, the Indian notes, does not ask its cranes to become Canada geese. It just wants to preserve them as whooping cranes. Indians hold no grudge against the big beautiful nearly extinct birds, but we would like to know how they managed their deal. Whooping cranes can remain whooping cranes, but Indians are to become brown white men. The contrast in the situation is an insult to our people. Indians have aspirations, hopes and dreams, but becoming white men is not one of them. * * * Many bureaucrats feel that Indians are not yet ready to assume control of the education of their children, but, we ask, how could even the

most stupid Indian create a worse mess than has been handed him by the missionaries and .bureaucrats over the past one hundred years? As long as the government persists in using education for its own designs, education will continue to be an unpleasant, frightening and painful experience for Indian children who have little reason to like or be interested in school anyhow. . * * * Housing has been a major reserve problem for as long as anyone can remember. Belatedly, but finally the government discovered this and .. ..set about doing something to alleviate the problem.. . ..as the houses took shape, the people could see they would offer little improvement upon the shacks they were to replace. When they complained, the agent said, “What do you expect, castles? The government only allots seven thousand dollars for each house”. Before the end of a year, frames sagged, doors hung ajar and wouldn’t close, windows wouldn’t open, plumbing was out of line and wouldn’t function, insulation against the wintry blasts of our northland slid down between walls which had sagged every which way. The houses had been built in the worst possible location on the reserve, squarely in the middle of the only swamp available. They had no foundations. * * * The white man who finds himself in an unstructured, anxiety provoking situation is trained to react with a great deal of activity. . . . ..but the Indian, put in the same place is brought up to remain motionless and watch. Outwardly he appears to freeze, Inwardly, he is using all his senses to discover what is expected of him-what activities are proper, seemly and safe.

in action

Dear Mr. Chretien. I am a university graduate, with four years experience in social work among Indian and Metis people in the northern half of the Yukon territory, centred in Dawson city. In those four years I was fortunate to be close enough to some Indian and Metis, friends to help them realize that as a race, the whites are not entirely bad. I am 27, and want to spend my most active years in the Yukon, working among those people who have need of a friend. I cannot return. During my last, six months as a government employee, I was suspended twice; dismissed once (later revoked); the doors to my office were literally padlocked against my admittance; my replacement was advised by two superiors not to talk to me; I was told by my supervisor that should I resign within one month /: would receive a good reference from them; but should I stay on, every effort would be made to have me dismissed. He also admitted at the time that no one was actually able to assess my work, since I had gone virtually unsupervised during my tenure. In one year, my employee assessment rating (re-done 3 months after I refused to resign until the fall) plummetted from C-plus to an E average. I had to fight to see the assessment which is now in my personal file in the government offices, and which I am legally obligated to sign after discussion. There was neither a discussion nor a signature, but the assessment remains on my file, for all my future employers . to see. Why? According to my director, I had committed three sins against the government and the civil service: l I had typed a letter to the Yukon Commissioner, written by a friend who wanted to see reforms in the department of education. I did not agree with most of the letter but placed my initials at tie bottom. With very little ?ouble, the government was able to discover who had typed the letter and for this I was made to apologize to the director of education. My friend (a Metis teacher) resigned and I was the only one left to suffer the ire of a government spurned. l I am a member of the liberal party and served coffee at one meeting, and pop at a teenage dance, both sponsored by the liberal party, during the 1968 campaign. As a civil servant, I could not “campaign”, although many other civil servants were involved in the _ election in a much more important way.

l I had the audacity to speak to you Mr. Chretien, honourable Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, for ten minutes about Indian housing and as many other subjects, as I could squeeze into ten minutes of your time. It was my understanding at the time that you wished to speak to someone about the problems for which you hold a portfolio. For my efforts, the Commissioner of the Yukon demanded my resignation from my director. Neither the commissioner nor anyone else, knows to this day what I said to you, our elected representative and appointed minister. As the commissioner’s words were quoted to me by my director, he said: “‘I will not have one of my employees speaking to my Minister. ”

All that was needed to solve the administration’s problems about me was a replacement to take my job-a difficult task, when the work demands not only an ability to cooperate .with every member of the commun- . ity as well as clients, but also to remain on call 24 hours a day, and attend to various details such as changing tires in the middle of the night on an empty gravel road with no settlement wt&in 50 miles, driving in 50 and 60 below zero weather to cover the area and do every kind of social work in the book (as well as much not found in the social work manual). They finally found a replacement, with a Master’s degree in social work, who wan ted to come to Dawson city because her boyfriend was stationed there. She admitted to me that she disliked the cold, the flying, (necessary to get to one part of the area), night and weekend work, and the basic type of social work required to deal with a very heavy caseload and an enormous area. She replaced me in September, and has since resigned. We were never allo wed officially to discuss cases together, nor to work together (since I was suspended). This presented quite a handicap for her as she was already experiencing personal difficulties in adjusting to life in the North. I have been advised by a friend in the Yu.kon to be absolutely certain of my facts should a newspaper publish anything I have to say, since the government would consider launching a libel suit against me. Since I am already in debt over lawyer fees, I am hardly ready to contemplate the possibility of libellous charges.

Would you like to know the story of two boys who were to be sent to a sister in one of the provinces, but who had to wait in foster homes for 9 months because no one in the head office had the energy to telephone the province (which I was not allowed to do)? Would you care to think about an unwed mother who was not paid maintenance for 3 years (from an agreement that our department had set up) because no one in the head office could be bothered to telephone our legal adviser to see about taking the putative father to court? Can you allow yourself a moment to grasp the possibility of probationers who are sent thousands of miles to juvenile homes outside the territory and returned. within weeks because of over-crowding in these Homes; or adoptive parents waiting 3 years for approval of their adoption although they are already looking after the child in their home; or neglected children being assessed by a psychologist and a psychiatrist, who recom,mend removal to an institution but no action is taken? Would you care to be the social worker who had it written in to her assessment that she writes “many irrelevant memoranda*’ about these and other cases, (none of which were worked on by the time I left the Yukon)? Would you want to return to help and not be allo wed to? Within one year of beginning work in the department of welfare, I had been there longer than anyone else on staff, except for my F supervisor and director.

One of the main problems in the North is finding qualified people to work and stay there. Everyone deplores the rapid turnover in Government staff at all levels.:’ I have a friend who was dismissed for objecting to welfare practices. Another friend resigned to complete a university degree and it is well known that she will not be allowed back into the enclave because she disagreed with practices within the Department. There are many others who quit in disgust, rather than fight a losing battle against bureaucracy and pettiness. They do ’ not return. The ‘servile servant” is breeding rapidly within the borders of the North, and, Mr. Chretien, if you are interested, the North and your department, are the losers. Yours

Who’s your Indian? Most Canadian whites are racist, bot ,h in their activity and in their attitudes toward Indians. They engage in racist activity by supporting an economic, social and political system which is racist. Racist attitudes are often openly expressed. “Indians are drunken, innaturally lazy, ferior people who deserve nothing better than what they have.” Students and professors have been heard to make this claim and gone unchallenged by the people who have heard them. It is more frequent however, that racist attitudes are very. subtly expressed. All forms of paternalism, concepts of charity and ideas that the Indian can not manage his own affairs are racist. These forms of racism are openly propagated and go unchallenged in the university and in society in general. The Indians are not _the only group which suffers from the activity and attitudes characterized by racism. The same attitudes and discrimination are carried on and propagated about poor people and manual labourers by the middle class, about women by men, about ethnic minorities by british descendants, about new immigrants by older ‘citizens’. Each economic and cultural group propagates group supremacy toward all other groups which; are below it on the socioeconomic ladder. But they do not do it. naturally. The interests of each group are played off against the interests of the other groups by the people who control the media, who control production, who control private and government economic policy. Poor people try to maintain their position of supremacy over the Indians by supporting and propagating racism. Labourers encourage and promote discrimination against poor people and Indians not because there is an inherent difference between them and poor people which makes them superior but because under our economic system poor people and indians are competition for blue collar workers. On the top of this whole pyramid of racism, supremacy and discrimination sits the middle class. Teachers, professors and clergy propagate these ideas so that each group knows its position not only in relation to the groups below itself but also in relation to the groups above it. Scientists engineers and sociologists manipulate people secure in their belief that others do not know how to manage their own affairs. Social workers, the military and cops police the other groups knowing they deserve their own middle class position but these other groups don’t. That’s what they were taught. The entire middle class is the chief propagator and sustainer of this system. And the benefit that they. receive is affluence, and status.

But the middle class too is powerless to change the structure of society. Their middle class position is only maintained so long as they perform their function within our society. Any move that they make toward change is a threat to that ‘_, position. The truth is that their position is not secure even if they perform their duties faithfully. With the present use of the universi ty as a reserve labour pool, middle classdom is becom-. ing competitive and companies more selective in their choice of technicians. The people who have the power, have in the past brought society to its knees. Indications are that our economy is once again headed toward a depression. If this happens even professional status will not be security.’ . It is in the interests of the middle class as well as all other lower groups in the socioeconomic scale to change the structure of society so that all people have the social awareness necessary to understand their positions, the freedom to be creative social beings and the power to act for change. This change is basic and radical. It means taking the power from the few people who have it now and it means people working together to further their mutual interests. Only by recognizing that our interests lie in united action can we begin to understand how this economic control works. Only by engaging in action together do we have any chance of taking away their power. If we do not work together we will be fighting against each other. If we do not choose to \work together we will be choosing to fight for the perpetuation of the present system against the liberation of all people. Professionals must begin to understand that they do not help minorities or other oppressed people or for that matter themselves by propagating racism and group supremacy. To be more specific they cannot solve the problems that Indians are facing by going out on a government grant and doing research on the Indian problem, which will be used by a government bureaucracy as justification for the decisions which they make. The Indians are capable of deciding how their interests are best served. The professional must be willing to admit this and work with Indians to solve our mutual problems. This means that he must use his skills to do research under the direction of the Indians.

Whites must also recognize the destructiveness of racism. White racism is possibly the greatest problem that, the Indian faces. We must not allow others to propagate racism. We must challenge it whenever we do see it and we must struggle with the racism that exists in ourselves. .

Right on, ’ Engsoc The Chevron collective supports engineering society A in their attempts at uncovering the highly bureaucratic nature of the co-ordination department’s insistence that engineers, whether they are repeating their term or not, must pass within their realm. Co-ordination demands that if co-op students find their jobs without the help of the department, they must report the name of the company to them. If co-ordination still intends to abandon students who fail, it should not attempt to eat the cake too. Why do they feel they can determine what companies these students can or cannot contact. What right do they have to force the student to continue bullshit job reports and other trivia most of which will primarily facilitate adding the new found company to the co-ordination corporation.

If abandoning these students is an attempt ai covering up the fact that there won’t be enough jobs available for co-op students next term, then the co-ordination department should make this known in a more direct way. Let’s call a spade, a spade. We suggest to the engineers and co-op students in other faculties that they strive for the removal of the $47 fee and set up their own employment placement scheme run by students on a voluntary basis. Another possibility is that the co-ordination department remain, with students using the service on a voluntary basis for the same fee. Otherwise they could save the $47 and find their own jobs. Finally, we wwld like to offer the engineers investigating the matter the opportunity to publicize their findings on these pages.
