1969-70_v10,n58_Chevron by Editor Imprint

At the Wednesday’s student council -meeting, next year’s budget was finally passed after six hours of debate. The major addition to the budget was an allotment of 2,500 dollars to labour-student committee under the board of external relations and education. Most of this money will finance The LSC a community paper. wanted an allotment for a community paper separate from the Chevron budget in order to guarantee the existence of such a paper. Otherwise issuing a community paper would be up to the discretion of Chevron staff. When the council failed to find other- places to cut the budget, Larry Burko moved that the events and services * auxiliary portion of the BSA budget be reduced by 2,158 dollars to 38,842 dollars. With this allotment, Burko hoped to provide services such as cheaper dances, movies and pubs to the student at a reduced fee. At present, there is considerable profiteering on campus by groups who sponsor these activities. According to Burko, as much as 100 percent profit is being made on service activities, professional promoters are being paid to run things; and it is a major function of the federation to provide such services to the students at reasonable rates.

Before the budget was passed Karl Doerwald, engineering rep, moved that the student fee be reduced 2 dollars and the auxillary events and services be cut 20,000 dollars. In the discussion, he said that he saw no breakdown of this amount and felt that the students should know where the money is going. Burko regurgitated a precis of his whole platform of moving federation into service functions. He explained that an accurate breakdown would not be possible since the allocatioti was in the experimental stage. “This- is an experimental year” he said, “and if you cut out the experimental fund, you are defeating the whole purpose of what we are trying to do.” Burko was even considering resignation if council voted to trod over his whole election campaign. With this explanation, Doerwald withdrew his motion. Camp Columbia had its allocation increased 2,000 dollars to a total of 4,000 dollars. Council felt that their appeal for more money was justified since it is financially quite shaky at present and is a worthwhile cause as it uses university facilities as a community resource. Other increases were administrative salaries and the Chevron see budget

Student council haggled for six hours before passing the I970/71 budget Wednesday night while Federation president Larry Burko (foreground) muttered inaudible thrclats to all reps, suggesting sandbox cuts. printing budget. The major cuts were the big weekends, forcing the weekends (summer, winter, and orientation) homecoming,

approved

Uniwat’s proposed baby care center got support and a location from the campus center board at its tuesday meeting. The meeting almost didn’t happen, but by reshuffling the agenda and introducing the new student reps, they were able to get a quorum and proceed with their business. Operations vicepresident Al Adlington asked that the discussion of the baby care center be moved up on the agenda as he had to leave the meeting early. He was particularly interested in this discussion as he had recently received a letter from Al Gordon, deputy minister of university ’ affairs for Ontario. Gordon had been requested by the minister of health to write a letter to universities, both informing and warning them that day care or infant-care centers setting up on campus must meet the requirements as set out in the day nurseries act. It was agreed to make the change in the agenda and board chairman Dave Parson read out the baby care center brief submitted by student organizers Marie Kennedy and Lesley Buresh. Buresh opened discussion by informing Adlington that at present they were waiting to receive application forms for fire Also she and health approval. stated that Lucille Panabaker, day nursery superintendent for this region, was aware of the proposals for the center and was giving all the assistance and support possible. The campus center rooms requested for the center were 207, The discussion 208 and 211A. then centered around the use

of the rooms. It was thought that there would be some difficulties with 211A as it is used fairly regularly as the only large meeting room. However it -was felt that these problems could be overcome by making alternate plans. The board was generally in favour of the baby care center yet regretted that the rooms requested were not more suitable. Other locations were suggested by various members of the board and for one reason’ or another all systematically rejected. The most favorable other, perhaps feasible, option was a location in the as yet undeveloped area in the basement of the campus center. However at the meeting a request had also been submitted to have this space allocated for audio-visual office and storage space. There was also the question of whether the space could be developed in accord with the necessary health requirements regarding lighting and ventilation. On the question of which should have first choice of the allocation of the basement space should it be deemed suitable, one board member felt the baby care center should have definite precedence over audio-visual. Adlington however did not share this opinion. After more general questions, it was decided to give temporary approval in order to enable the group to have the rooms inspected by the necessary authorities. After receiving the report on the suitability of the rooms for a baby care center, the executive of the campus center board will make a final decision.

Act

trll l

of a new The preparation university act was Sshown at the committee meeting on tuesday to be a more difficult job than even the committee members had anticipated. The agenda of the meeting, intended to be the last, was to review the new act and bylaws so that they could be presented to the board of governors and the senate as soon as possible ; however several problems appeared, preventing the committee from finishing the review of just the act itself. John Bergsma, the only student present, asked representative whether part time students were to be given a voice on the university’s new governing council. The second draft of the act, written last October, gave a definition of ‘student’ that would include both full and part time; but the general feeling was that part time students should be excluded. Operations vice president Al Adlington thought that they would consider this unfair, but Academic vice president Jay Minas pointed out that in any case something has to be said in the act because disenfranchisement is not a procedural matter and cannot be dealt with by the governing council. Ira Needles, chancellor of the board, felt that part time students are not knowledgeable of all the things that go on and they are not involved directly enough with the of course this does university: not apply to the community representatives that will be on the governing council. It was suggest-

Ul7

l inrs

ed that perhaps part time students be allowed to vote but not to run for election, to which Bergsma countered that this was a contravention of the democratic process. Adlington suggested that if the students were full time when elected, they could legitimately become part time during their term of office, as it is with the federation presidency and was formerly with the Chevron editorship. Committee chairman engineering prof Ted Batke moved that only full time students be allowed to vote, but the motion was withdrawn. The steering committee was instructed to look into the definition of ‘full time’ and Bergsma said he would try to find out what the student feeling on the matter is before the next meeting next Wednesday. A small survey by the Chevron indicated that students support the view that part time students should both be allowed to vote for

Strike

representatives and be eligible for candidacy. Needles was most concerned about the size of the governing council growing unmanageable. A recommendation of a reduction in membership to 40 brought to the committee by Jim Ford and Marvin Brown on behalf of the faculty association was rejected because it was not really representative of faculty opinion, nor was it well thought lout. The committee thought sixty.six would be a good number, but the creation of new divisions would necessitate the addition of a dean, a student, and a faculty member. The problem lay in giving membership by constituency and then increasing the number of constituencies without increasing the number of representatives. After lengthy discussion the concept of constituency representation was not abandoned, but rather it will be left to the wisdom of the new council to solve the matter.

support

For the past month students at the Buffalo campus of the State University of New York have been out on strike and have effectively crippled the operation of the university. The strike is in support of eleven demands which have been put forward by a ‘Provisional Revolutionary Government’ which

Kutastrodmickurkrush Two more cars wiped each other out to the tune of 1500 dollars tuesday night, near the Minota Hagey bend on the ring road. Police estimates of damage were approximately 1000 dollars to a 69 Chevrolet and 500 dollars to a 66 Falcon. Names of the occupants of the two cars were withheld by the kampus kops according to security department policy. One girl, a passenger in the Chev, was taken by ambulance to K-W Hospi ta1 suffering “whiplash” injuries. No one else was hurt. Dennis Perkins, shift supervisor for the kampus kops, said “the Minota Hagey bend is the major spot for accidents on campus. ” He admits the double-

bed

radius curve, the often icy conditions there due to snow melting off the hill that also blocks vision around the curve, and the exit road and residence entrance joining the ring road, do contribute to the high frequency of accidents on the bend, but ultimately “the accidents are the fault of the drivers involved.” He says that most of the accidents occur just east ‘of the corner when drivers coming down the front straightaway suddenly realize they are heading into a sharp curve and lose control when they. jump on the brakes. Perkins feels a large warning sign might help alleviate the situation at what may come known as ‘Uof W’S ‘killer corner’.

is temporarily seated in Norton Hall, the student union building. The demands, which are nonnegotiable, include putting an end to the Reserve Officers Training Corps and military research on campus, a greater say in university affairs for the students, dismissal of acting administration president Peter Regan and the election of a new president by faculty and students. The strike is supported by nearly 90 percent of the 28,000 students and 1400 faculty. The university administration has called in the cops and about 300 of the Buffalo police force are on duty on the campus. . Last week 35 cops and 22 students were injured in an attempted police raid on the student union building. The faculty have reacted against the cops being on campus and on sunday 45 faculty staged a sit-in in the acting presidents office to protest the police raid. All 45 were arrested on an injunction which banned such demonstrations. An editorial in the student newspaper, entitled Death of a University said : “There is no longer a university; look around you-

the evidence is everywhere. State legislators in Albany have become involved in the strife. Some have criticized Regan for being to lenient with the students and others have demanded that the student building be closed. On monday morning six shots were fired at two campus cops and on tuesday the students had to evacuate Norton Hall because of a bomb threat. Several students have been arrested on charges of supplying ammunition to the campus and rioting. However, despite the sporadic violence the strike is well ordered and the students seem intent on having their

demands met. Inside the union building a bulletin board announces a continuing process of meetings and discussions. . Everyone is keeping busy despite the tense atmosphere created by the presence of cops. Martin Feinrider, one of the student leaders, claims that any violence is unorganized and the leadership is taking special care not to allow disruption of the computer center. Feinrider expressed different feelings about Project Themis, a campus building which houses military research. He said: “If we can’t get Themis off campus we will walk over there and take it down brick by brick.

studies

The Committee for Canadian Studies, at a meeting on Saturday outlined the program which will be presented to the undergraduate committee in arts for approval. Concern was expressed by polisci prof John Wilson that the double honors program, as originally proposed, would run into

friday

objections from arts departments who would see the program as a competitor for scarce faculty dollars. Rather than see the program rejected, it was proposed that it begin as a series of cross-listed courses which would allow departments to receive the student fees from major or honors students to take the inter-disiplinary Canadian Studies “core” courses. Thus Canadian Studies 390 (the only core course to be proposed this year) might be cross-listed as English 390, Sociology 390, Philosophy 390 etc. and the students fees would go to those departments. Since under this plan there will be no money available to hire faculty to lecture and to supervise seminars, in Canadian Studies, Canadian faculty throughout the university will be asked to volunteer one hour a week each to aid in getting the program started. In addition departments will be asked to allow the crosslisted Canadian Studies course to count in a students major or honours concentration. Finally, in order to help make Canadian content courses economically more viable (and thereby encouraging departments to offer more of them), the committee will compile a list of such courses and publicize them throughout the university. Students and faculty interested in helping get the Canadian Studies Program underway, or in learning more about it are invited to call or see: 20 march

The problem seems to be the extreme conservatism of the medical profession. Suits against the unconstitutionality of abortion laws are pending in New York and New Jersey, while 13 state legislatures now have before them bills similar to Hawaii’s.

NEW YORK (LNS) - Hawaii, 49th state of the union, came first in the uphill battle to repeal antiquated abortion laws in America. An abortion in Hawaii today is strictly a matter between a woman and her physician. The only “legal” requirement is that she be a resident of Hawaii for 90 days. It is considered unsafe to undergo abortion after the third month, so Hawaii will not be beseigned by women seeking legal abortions there. There are indications that other states may soon follow Hawaii’s lead in adopting laws that make abortions a medical rather than a legal matter. In Wisconsin recently, a threejudge federal panel ruled that state’s abortion law unconstitution-

quirement, was passed recently in the Arizona house and sent to the senate., Albert Blumenthal, one New York assemblyman who supports abortion repeal cautions that “the public is misled (if it thinks the passage of repeal laws will result in a revolution in the abortion situation. . . . A substantial portion of the medical profession will be unwilling to participate in any way different from what they’re now doing.” How long doctors can refuse to cooperate with new abortion laws is questionable. The growing consciousness of american women may prove to be a persuasive force in countering the conservatism that denies them control over their own bodies.

In fact, engineering and science graduates looking for jobs in industry and government are having even more problems. CHEVRON: What are the particular areas of difficulty. DR. WATT: Engineering and the sciences right now, partly because industry, which hires some PhD’s in these Canadian industry has never fields is not expanding. been heavily involved in research and development so they don’t hire many Ph’d’s in particular, or even masters graduates, and in a period when the economy is not really expanding they are not expanding, so the demand for people is reduced still further. The government labs like NRC, Atomic Energy of Canada and DRB are also cut back as the government is not expanding these operations, so there are very Normally these labs woujd hire a few few openings. PhD’s each year but this year they are hiring only in very limited numbers. As far as university positions are concerned science and engineering faculties tend to be more well-developed in Canadian universities. There isn’t the tremendous in science and engineering expansion taking place now as there is in areas of the humanities and social sciences which are growing more rapidly. The sciences qnd engineering have gone through their growth period, they have become more stable,.so demand for university positions in these fields is not as great, although there are still some openings. CHEVRON: How many of the PhD graduates which we are turning out this year have a chance of finding positions. e DR. WATT: Most of them will get jobs. CHEVRON: Will they get university positions, and if not, do we really want to put them through the PhD process to teach at the high school level. . DR. WATT: No. Generally speaking a person gets a PhD to do research in university, industry or in some branch of the government. Another market which might be opening up for Ph’D’s is community colleges. Generally they don’t want to hire PhD’s, they look usually for people with masters or M.Phils, but if PhD’s are available they might upgrade their standards and begin to hire them. CHEVRON: I gather that at the community colleges you have neither the time nor the grants to do research. DR. WATT: No,’ you are pretty restricted. You wouldn’t be eligible for the grants. But there are certain types of research you might be able to carry out in your spare time. CHEVRON: In 1968 Canadian universities hired 362 . Canadians, and 2,249 non-Canadians. Do you think this is fair to the Canadian graduate. DR. WATT: First of all one would want to know how many Canadians were seeking academjc positions. If the 362 Canadians who were hired were all the Canadians who were looking for jobs in universities then there’s no problem. CHEVRON: There were approximately 5,000 graduates that year, some 4,000 masters and the rest PhD’s.

in Canada.....Dr.

DR. WATT: But a lot of them wouldn’t be looking for jobs in Canadian universities. A lot of Canadians when they get their doctorate still go to the States or overseas on post doctorates for a year or two. To properly interpret these figures you’d have to know how many Canadian PhD’s were really seeking positions in Canadian universities that year. A corollary to that would be how many were unable to find jobs here in Canada. I am not necessarily concerned with these figures. I would be concerned if I felt that a substantial number of Canadians actively trying to get positions in our universities were unable to do so, assuming that they were academically qualified. CHEVRON: The Office of Economic Studies on Research, and Development at NRC estimates that only 27 percent of all new faculty hired during that period has PhD’s. The academic excellence argument doesn’t hold up if you consider these figures. You’ realize of course that the chairman of our Fine Arts department has, only a BA (from an American university). DR. WATT: There are some areas, and Fine Arts I think would be one, in which you will find people with considerable experience in other areas which might be ,appropriate to the field. CHEVRON: The claim has been made by Mathews and Steele that our graduate students are exposed to unfair competition for positions in Canada because of the easy access of foreigners to our graduate schools and university positions. Is there any truth in this? DR. WATT: No. I think Canadians can compete with anybody in the academic market. They don’t need any particular safeguards to guarantee them jobs. The good Canadians are getting the good jobs and they are able to compete with the Americans and the British and anybody else. CHEVRON: Do you think then that the reason we have something like 49 percent’foreign faculty at Waterloo is because we don’t have enough good Canadian academics. DR. WATT: In a lot of areas there simply aren’t enough Canadians availab~le. CHEVRON: Is this true in the sciences. DR. WATT: No, this is not so true in the sciences, but in the SCienCeS YOU will find the faculty predomiianily Canadian. CHEVRON: How come then, that our Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Engineering departments have predominantly British and commonwealth faculty. DR WATT: Electrical engineering is well over half Canadian. There’s a fair British contingent in Engineering and the Sciences. CHEVRON: Do Canadian students and faculty have the same access to foreign universities as foreigners have here. DR. WATT: Certainly, there’s no bar against Canadians in American and British university as far as graduate_ schools are concerned. They would be considered on their academic merits. . CHEVRON: Would it be aseasy, for them to get grants in foreign countries as it -is for foreigners to get Canadian grants. DR. WATT: I am not personally familiar with the situation in Britain, but 1 am with the States, and I would say that the answer is yes.

hiring:

Chevron staff s - , Canadian graduate students looking for jobs in Canadian universities often run into a frustrating phenomenon. Despite good grades, favourable recommcndations and a keen interest in teaching in Canada, they find that where university departments are dominated by American they are passed over in fafaculty, vor of American graduate students. When department chairmen are asked

CHEVRON: But you couldn’t be sure about other countries. DR. WATT: No. CHEVRON: How about from the faculty point of view. DR. WATT: The same is true for faculty. There is no policy in the United States of giving Americans pre: ference, they look at people on the basis of ,academic merit. Of course the numbers are such that there are just so many more Americans with higher degrees tha? there are Canadians, so you don’t find large numbers of Canadians in American universities. CHEVRON: Don’t you think the two year tax free holiday which our government offers to foreign academics should be suspended for a while because of the present tight situation. DR. WATT: Yes, I do agree with you on that. If it was mused as it was meant to be used for genuine visitors it’s fine, because Canadians get the same tax free rate from other countries. I think it has been abused in a number of cases by people who come here really intending to stay, but take advantage of it nevertheless. My understanding is that the government is going to tighten up on this. CHEVRON: There seems to be a glut of Ph’d’s on the market these days: do you think this is because universities have been producing them at random without prior planning. DR. WATT: Yes, Universities have to be more conscious of long range planning in the graduate area. In fact I pointed this out at the last meeting of the Board of Governors. CHEVRON: It seems to me though that our problem right now does not stem from the fact that Canada has overproduced graduates, but that other countries, most noticably the United States have, and we’re being inundated with the surplus. DR. WATT: Of course this problem is true in a lot of areas, wheat for example. We have no control over what other people produce. CHEVRON: Perhaps we should take steps to protect our own graduates. DR. WATT: I’m very leery of protection because it tends too often to be for the wrong reasons, and to protect the wrong things. CHEVRON: Do you think universities should adopt a policy of advertising positions in Canada. DR. WATT: Yes, as far as I know this is the policy at Waterloo. Attitudes towards advertising tend to stem from tradition. In Britain its an accepted tradition but in the United States its the reverse. It’s almost a mark of being second rate in the U.S. if you have to advertise. We tend to fall between these two stools. The grapevine system works well in the States in an era of expansion but it breaks down when there’s a tight job market and the grapevine tends to become a closed club. CHEVRON: It has been said that Canadians have a colonial mentality, they think of themselves as second rate. DR. WATT: That’s one of my pet peeves. There are all sorts of instances of Canadians who become well known in the arts but are never recognized in Canada until they win acclaim abroad.

it works Why does the grapevine exist and how does it work? First of all, department chairmen are anxious -to find, faculty that fit the department’s social or scholastic orientation. Departments consider themselves traditional, behavioral, research oriented, etc., and look for faculty who fit these descriptions. Moreover, there is a distinct reluctance to hire newcomers who will not be socially acceptable (in some, cases a prospective faculty member’s wife will have to be acceptable to the chairman’s wife before he is hired). Nor does a simple examination40f the faculty’s degrees in a department reveal the subtlety or complexity of the grapevine operation. Take the -department of History for example where the original Canadian orientation has worked to benefit Canadian .graduates. The original faculty P.G. Cornell, K.A. Mackirdy and Hugh MacKinnon were graduate students together at the University of Toronto in the 1940’s. When Cornell was made first chairman of history, he hired ‘Mackirdy and MacKinnon - who in turn recommended students and ex-students to the department. Over the years this system of private recommendations and hiring has built up until now four generations of the Cornell-Mackirdy-MacKinnon

at Uniwat grapevine have been hired at Waterloo. In addition a new grouping, originated by the hiring of Michael Craton has appeared. In all, fourteen out of the twenty history professors, are related in the two groupings. When Mackirdy was hired at Waterloo, he brought five of his former students here: MacGillivray whom he taught at Queens, ’ and Wynne, Patterson. Davies and Eagles whom he taught at Washington. When MacKinnon came, he brought Zoltvany from Laval. At Waterloo, Johnson and Horton studied under these men, leaving to get their graduate degrees at Toronto and McGill, then returning to teach here. Now Laurie Barron is working on a thesis directed by Johnson - making a fourth generation. When Craton was hired, he brought Cherniavsky under whom he had studied in England, and Wright who was a classmate at McMaster. In History the grapevine resulted in the hiring of Canadians. But what about American-dominated departments such as Philosophy or Psychology. Here the grapevine works to exclude Canadians and perpetuate -American domination of both student selection and content studied.

S THE co-ed a success?

residence

This question is perhaps the hardest to answer since the people living in the building this year all came with different expectations of a co-educational living environment and, naturally, the degree to which their expectations have been met differs. Generally residents feel that living in the building is a genuine educational experience which is quite valuable to them. Many have expressed the opinion that they cbuld never live in a segregated residence again. The ease of transition from segregated to co-educational living was remarkable, and apart from the usual problems encountered in a university residence community we have experienced no specific ‘co-ed living problems’. In fact, the co-ed environment has seemed to have had a civilizing influence on the students living in Renfrew House. There no longer seems to be a need to throw wild drunken bashes and floor parties. Most interaction is on an informal discussion basis by small groups. Students seem to take more pride in the appearance of their rooms and go out of their way to make visitors feel at home in the house. Perhaps the most remarkable success so far has been the ability of students to live in a cleaner, quieter environment than they did in other years in segregated dorms without paternalistic rules decreed and enforced from above. The placing of men and women on the same floor has not led to either mass orgies in the halls, or permissive behaviour on the part of the residents. There are still the academic and emotional problems of students attending a university but Residence ,Fellows (students selected to be ‘social and emotional’ councillors) have found that they have had to re-orient themselves in this house. What used to be a problemoriented job has become a living-oriented job.

What general have arisen in tion?

problems it’s opera-

We have experienced no serious problems in operation of the building. The physical layout was easily adaptable to co-educational living and as Renfrew House houses only 150 students we had no trouble finding enough applicants for the rooms available. Certainly this is not the type of living environment which appeals to all students and at one time there was some doubt that there would be enough applicants to fill the three floors here. Some senior students chose not to live in Renfrew because of the small number of single rooms available in the building. One problem we are experiencing is that the co-ed environment seemed to attract the type of committed, concerned person who played an informal leadership role in the segregated dorms, and the seg. dorms have suffered as a result. , We have been lucky in the sense that our residence community is completely self-supporting financially. The income from student fees and summers operations covers entirely the cost of year long operation. We have no dependence on gifts and donations from an Alumni that might be insulted by the presence of a co-educational environment on campus. r

Have you any on the relations male and female

comments between residents?

The relationship between male and female residents is a difficult one to determine accurately. There is no denying that a normal sexual attraction exists between the men and women in the house, but there is more an acceptance of the whole individual here. A girl is more than a sexual object. She is a whole person who is to be accepted or rejected as a friend but not to be used. There is a real concern for the welfare of others living in the building and this applies to members of one’s own sex as well as to members of the opposite sex. Co-ed living is by no means a panacea, but we have managed to cut out some of the one dimensional, ‘cardboard’ re-

lationships between men and women. This type of relationship has been called ‘brother-sister’ but I find that term to be misleading or inaccurate. Perhaps ‘concern for One anothers’ individuality is better. Interestingly we had little occurrence of dating couples applying to move into the dorm.

How

are rules

made?

There are no rules as such in the whole residence community at Carleton, except for the general rule of showing respect for the rights of others. We operate under a system of floor autonomy by which members of a floor create any rules which they feel are necessary. These floor.members are also charged with enforcing these rules. None of the three floor units in the co-cd dorm have felt it necessary to create any rules whatsoever. There are no “visiting hours” or “quiet hours” as who-visits-who-when is felt to be an individual decision, and there is no need for a formal rule about noise. As I have mentioned, Renfrew House is extremely quiet for a residence on campus and students have taken it upon themselves to ask for quiet if they are being disturbed. On the house level the residents have felt it necessary to create a rule that all persons not living in the building have to be escorted in and out of the building by the person whom they visit. Outside personnel and students have been hired to act as porters and in this way we have managed to avoid any problem with ‘crashers’. This link with an efficient community security system seems to be a must. Students do not feel obliged to break rules which they themselves have created. Student responsibility is forthcoming when a system which depends on it is implemented.

Does an integrated residence really work?

INCE THE establishment of Renfrew House, a co-educational residence at Carlton, several other universities including our own have taken an interest in the co-ed experiment. Vice-president of co-ed residences at Carleton Dean Lewis replies here to questions raised by arts dean Rowe of Western.

What degree of autonomy is enjoyed by the residence in relation to 0 ther residences and university authorities? Each floor of each house (building) in our residence community is autonomous from all other floors. There is a central council on which all floors have representation. This council also ,has an executive elected by the students...a president (elected by the whole community) and three vice-presidents (elected by each of men’s women’s and co-ed constituency). By this means of organization each floor is autonomous without any loss of overall integration. Autonomy in relation to university is almost complete. Students have considered and so far rejected two schemes of achieving de jura autonomy from the university administration in favour of the de facto autonomy which is in existence. These schemes were those of creating a separate legal entity or corporation, and requesting a formal action of the Board of Governors deleting the responsibility for the residences from the administration (Bursar and Dean of Students).

What has been the action of the university ministration to this periment?

reaadex-

The reaction of the university administration has been good. The dean of student services (Vic Valentine) was instrumental in helping to set up the co-ed environment and is himself directly responsible for the residences to the president of the university. Perhaps he could more accurately inform you of his feelings towards the experience. To my knowledge, however, he is in complete agreement with the demise of the ‘in loco parentis’ atmosphere which had been prevalent in the community until this year. One last comment: We have found it wise to avoid the use of the term ‘experiment’ to describe the co-educational experience. Not only does this tend to create a ‘greenhouse effect’ where people are anxiously awaiting trouble, or SUCcess, but it tends also to cause students in the experience to regard it as an experiment which I think is a very negative orientation.

Trading quips in casual attire are students Karen Duncan and Michel Corriveau. Students shake facilities in this so far sucessful experiment. friday

SRAEL’S DIPLOMATIC POSITION is as difficult as her strategic position. On the one side are the superpowers for whom she has been a pawn; on the other the Arabs for whom she is an enemy. The Soviets voted for partition of Palestine in 1947 and recognized the state of Israel in order to dislodge British power from the middle east. Two decades later, the Soviets armed Egypt and Syria against Israel in the hope of dislodging American power; they saw Israel as Nasser’s means of reuniting the Arab world under a revolutionary leadership which would seize the oil fields and evict the western powers from Arabia and Iran, just as Nassar evicted England and France from Suez. This was the grand design of Russian realpolitik. ’ Israel’s unexpectedly swift military victory (in 1967 - ed.) upset that design. By defeating Nasser, Israel did Lvndon Johnson an enormous favor, but it is a mistake t.o assume that he will reciprocate. From an Arab point of view, Israel appears as .a western tool: she was planted in Palestine under Anglo-American auspices ; she is financially dependent on Western, especially American, Jewry ; she joined with England and France against Egypt in the Suez adventure of 1956; and she has now handed a stunning defeat to the chief nationalist leader of the Arab world, for whom coalition of feudal chiefs, Anglo-American oil companies and (according to Nasser) CIA agents have been gunning. But from an Israeli point of view, all of her Western allies let her down when the crunch came: the U.S. declared neutrality, France went back on her alliance with Israel, and Britain was abject in trying to assure the Arabs that she wasn’t taking sides. Had Israel been overwhelmed-so the Israelis feel-none of these “allies” would have come to her aid in time-if at all. In a showdown, for the West as well as for the Russians, the main concern is Arab oil and Arab numbers. The ambivalence of American policy in this Mideast crisis is hardly new. It has been characteristic of U.S. policy since the beginning of Israel’s struggle for independence. Although in november 1947 the 1J.S. voted for the U.N. plan to partition Palestine into linked Arab and Jewish states, the state department tried desperately to prevent that plan’s consummation in the first few months of 1948. When I left Washington in april1948, to cover for the newspaper PM what everyone felt would be an ArabJewish war as soon as- the plan took effect on may 15, secretary of state Marshall was threateningprivately to,cut off United Jewish Appeal funds for Palestine if the Jews there went ahead and established a state. The number one question with which I was greeted everywhere was whether the U.S. would actually carry out that threat. Ben Gurion was determined to declare statehood in spite of it, and there was a burst of jubilation in Tel Avivalready blacked out in expectation of Egyptian air raids-on the night of may 15, when word came that president Truman had recognized the newly declared state. The United States was torn then, as it still is, between oil interests in the Arab states and the Jewish vote at home.

The same pattern was visible in the new crisis. To take sides with Israel would have endangered

1032 the Chevron

the $2.5 billion stake that american oil companies have in the middle east. .No politician from an oil state like Texas could fail to be aware of this. The major oil companies are the most powerful influence on american foreign policy: Standard Oil (New Jersey) earns 54 per cent of its net income abroad; Texaco earns 35 per cent. The oil-rich arabian deserts are the holiest places of the middle east for the world’s oil cartels. The realpolitik of oil dictated, firstly, a hands-off policy in any arab-israeli war, for fear that oil holdings might be sabotaged and expropriated. But secondly, it would have- called for intervention, had Nasser won, for fear that oil-poor Egypt would then take over the oil resources of the arab middle east as she has seized the Suez canal in 1956. It was out of fear of Nasser and Arab nationalism that the United States provided pro-western regimes in Saudi Arabia and Jordan with arms which were later mobilized against Israel. Had Israel fallen, the U.S. would have moved. The middle east is more important strategically and economically by far than Vietnam, and the U.S. would have had to mobilize for a second “Vietnam” in the middle east, with all the attendant risk of a confrontation with the Soviet Union. This is the dimension of america’s debt to Israel, but it is not a debt Israel can collect, even though her very existence was at stake. And it was at stake because both superpowers had poured enormous quantities of arms into the hands of their respective Arab client states, while Israel had to scrounge all around the world in order to supply her armies. She owed her air force to a French conflict with arab north africa, long since healed and ended. Both Washington and Moscow will now be impelled to resume the rearmament of the Arabs in their rivalry for influence, while France no longer wishes to strain her new friendship with arab north africa and Egypt by supplying Israel with aircraft. Just as Moscow and Washington joined forces in 1956 to make the English, French and Israelis withdraw from Suez, so they will now, separately or in concert, pres: sure the Israelis to give up their territorial gains without firm guarantees from their arab neighbors. Both superpowers will play for arab friendship.

,TI

HE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAVINE in which Israel finds herself isolated looks as forbidding but, if scaled, would be more promising in <he long run. This would be to independently seek reconciliation with her arab neighbors. The problem is given a new urgency by the conquest of the Gaza strip and the west bank of the Jordan, which now puts the bulk of the Palestinian arab refugees right back under israeli control. It is as if, no-matter how or where they turn. two million Israelis find themselves, even in victory, surrounded by the same sea of Arabs. The original U.N. partition plan called for an arab state and a jewish state linked together in an economically united Palestine. Gaza and the west bank were to be part of the arab state. One wing of the Zionist movement, albeit a minority, had always supported a bi-national solution anyway, somewhat along Swiss lines. It is not ,beyond political ingenuity to work out a scheme whereby some kind of confederation could be created, perhaps also including Jordan by giving her a corridor to the Mediterranean. There could still‘be

a predominantly jewish state, but one linked fraternally with one or two arab states, one palestinian, one jordanian. The funds for arab resettlement could be spent in providing new homes in a developing economy for all arab residents, whether they are refugees from jewish-occupied Palestine or not. Moshe Dayan himself has spoken cryptically if reluctantly of confederation. Israel’s swift and brilliant military victories only make some such settlement and reconciliation all the more urgent. There lies the final solution of the refugee problem and permanent security for Israel. The funds which the world jewish community has been raising to aid Israel could be diverted to this constructive and human cause, and diverted in gratitude that the war ended so swiftly with relatively little damage to either side. Imagine how impossible reconciliation would now be if Tel Aviv had been destroyed by the Egyptians, and Cairo or Aswan Dam by the Israelis. It was a moral tragedy-to which no Jew worthy of our best prophetic tradition could be insensitive-that a kinded people was made homeless in the task of finding new homes for the remnants of the Hitler holocaust. Now is the time to right that wrong, to show magninimity in victory, and to lay the foundations of a new order in the middle east by which Israelis and Arabs can live in peace. _

This alone can make Israel secure. This is the third israeli-arab war in 20 years. In the absence of a general settlement, war will recur at regular

intervals. The Arabs wl, Israelis will be temped ; war. The israeli border: communications so easily in static defensive war would cut Israel into half would be suicidal for a t than two million Jews in Only total mobilization mobilization is impossibh Israel, since it brings the a crawl.

the survivors? These are the bitter thoughts which explain Israel’s belief that she can rely only on herself. But to understand this is not to accept it. The challenge to the world is the creation of a better order, the first step toward which would be to remove the middle east from the arena of this alone can k e e p great power rivalry; it from sooner or later becoming the startkeep it from sooner or later becoming the starting point of another war. The challenge to Israel is to conquer something more bleak and forbidding than even the Negev or Sinai, and that is the hearts of her arab neighbors. This would be greater and more permanent than any military victory. Abba Eban exultantly called the sweep of Israel’s armies “the finest day in Israel’s modern history. ” The finest day will be the day she achieves reconciliation with the Arabs. To achieve it will require an act of sympathy worthy of the best in jewry’s biblical heritage. It is to understand and forgive an enemy, and thus convert him into a friend. A certain obtuseness was unfortunately evident in Abba Eban’s brilliant presentation of Israel’s cause to the security council. To rest a case on jewish homelessness, and to simultaneously refuse to see the Arabs who have been made homeless, is only another illustration of that tribal blindness which plagues the human race and plunges it constantly into bloodshed. The first step. toward reconciliation is to recognize that arab bitterness has real and deep roots.

In justice to Israel, no one can forget the terrible history that has turned the Jewish state into a fighting community. Events still fresh in living memory illustrate how little reliance may be placed on the conscience of mankind. Long before the crematoria were built, in the six years of Nazi rule before world war II, refugees met a cold shoulder. Our state department, like the british foreign office, distinguished itself in those years by its anemic indifference to the oppressed and its covert undertone of admiration for the Axis; our few anti-facist ambassadors, like Dodd in Berlin and Bowers in Madrid, were treated miserably by the department. The welcome signs in the civilized world were few, and even now, if events were reversed and Israel were overrun, it could expect little more than a few hand-wringing resolutions. If the upshot of this new struggle is the expropriation of western Europe’s oil sources in the middle east, it will only seem to history a giant retribution for the moral failure that forced the survivors of Hitlerism to seek a refuge in the inhospitable deserts, drawn by the pitful mirage of an ancestral home.

HE PRECEDENT OF THE CEASE-FIRE resolution at the U.N. is a most disturbing one. It accepts preventive war and allows the country which launched it to keep the fruits of aggression -as a bargaining card. But Israel has a right to ask what the U.N. was prepared to do if Nasser had been able to carry- out his threats of total war and the complete destruction of Israel. Who would have intervened in time? Who would take

Just as Jews everywhere sympathize with their people, so Arabs everywhere sympathize and identify with theirs. They feel that antiSemitic Europe solved its jewish problem at arab expense. To a rankling sense of injustice is now added a third episode in military humiliation. Zionist propaganda always spoke of the role that the Jews could play in helping to modernize the arab world. Unless firm steps are now taken towards a general and generous settlement, this will become true in a sense never intended. The repercussions of the 1948 war set off seismic tremors that brought a wave of nationalist revolutions in Egypt, Syria and Iraq. The repercussions of this current defeat will lead a new generation of Arabs to modernize and mobilize for revenge, inspired (like the Jews) by memories of past glory. Considering their numbers and resources and the general rise of all the colonial people in this period, the Arabs must eventually prevail. Those who shudder to think that Israel, with all the cost in devotion and all she honorably won in marsh and desert, might be destroyed after a short life, as were the Maccabean and Crusader kingdoms before her, all who want her to live and grow in peace, must seek to avoid such a solution. Israel cannot live very long in a hostile arab sea. She cannot set her face against that renaissance of Arabic unity and civilization which began to stir a generation ago. She cannot remain a west-

ern outpost in an afro-asian world scale the mistakes she made in Algeria, where Israel and Zionism were allies of Soustelle and Massu and the French rightists. She must join the third world if she is to survive. No quickie military victories should blind her to the inescapable-in the long run she cannot defeat the Arabs. She must join them. The Jews played a great role in ,arabic civilization in the middle ages. A jewish state can play a similar role in a new Semitic renaissance. This is the perspective of safety, of honor, and of fraternity. _

NE CRUCIAL STEP in this direction would be, in the very hour of victory, to heal wounded arab pride as much as possible, and in particular to reach a new understanding with Nasser. Both american policy and israeli policy have sacrificed long range wisdom to short-sighted advantage in dealing with the egyptian leader. He is a military dictator, he wages his own Vietnam in Yemen, he uses poison gas there against his own people, he runs a police state. But he is also the first egyptian ruler to give Egypt’s downtrodden fellahin a break. It is fascinating to recall that Egypt has been ruled by foreigners almost since the days when David and Solomon ruled in Israel. Not until Nasser’s time, and the eviction of the British and French at Suez, have the Egyptians become the master in their own ancient house. Nasser’s program has given Egypt its first taste of reform, on the land, in the factory, in health and educational services. His accomplishments certainly surpass those of a comparable military figure, Ayub in Pakistan. The U.S. oil interests, Johnson’s animosity and Israel’s ill-will have been united in recent years in efforts to get rid of him. They have all favored feudal monarchs like Saudi Arabia’s whose day is done. \ It is Nasser who represents the future and who can create the internal stability so necessary to peace. The alternative if he is overthrown will ultimately be some far more fanatical and less constructive force, like the Moslem Brotherhood. If war makes sense only as an extension of politics by other means, then Israel’s victory will make political sense only if it leads to a new era of reconciliation with all her arab neighbors. There is no reason why Israel’s little “Peace Corps” could not do for the arab states. To win arab friendship will in the long run be worth far more than any military victory. Two millenia ago,. Isiah envisioned just such a war as we have now seen, and predicted just such a reconciliation as “And the land of Judah,” the one here projected. the greatest of the Hebrew prophets froetold, “Shall be a terror unto Egypt. . . And the Lord shall smite Egypt; he shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyria; In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria; and with Assyria, even a blessing into the midst of the land; whom the Lord of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Asyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”

To be, or not Y. / b be.. Birth control. Abortion. The pill. You may have worried about these matters in the past few weeks. You may have had questions which needed answers, either moral or pragmatic. You may have wondered if someone could help you. Someone can.

This Wednesday, Counselling services and the Rap room present a forum dealing with the pill, abortion and birth control. Panel advisors will include Martin Robinson, a London obstetrician who has performed a number of legal abortions, Jack Thurlo w, a psychology counsellor from Western, and John McGarry, a London lawyer and former crown attorney. This is the time for you to participate in deal: ing directly with the problems that bother’ you most. “To be, or not to be” could become a double-barrelled crisis.

Birth control? Abortion? Where do you get the pill? Is the pill really safe? Doesn’t the pill make you sterile? What about the loop? Don’t safes work all the time? Where do you go when you’re , pregnant? Can I get a diaphragm? Is it safe?

I ‘s

’ Birth control available

A group for the dissemination of birth control information has recently been formed on campus by several Rap Room and Hi Line volunteers ‘and others disturbed by the number of unwanted and unnecessary pregnancies. It seems inconceivable that in the age of the Pill some people are still unaware of the various methods of birth control. “It’s almost as if they believed the stork did it, “commented a Rap Room volunteer. And of course it’s the kind of thing that never happens to you. There is an aura of imnosed mystery around the entire *cluestion. This results mostly from the fact that giving out birth control devices and even information was illegal up till last year. In order to combat this vast area of ignorance Keith Dewar, Sally Holton and others have organized to provide information on various forms of birth control devices including, if possible, examples of diaphragms intra-uterine devices and others. In conjunction with the Rap Room they already have a confidential list of doctors in the Kitchener-Waterloo area willing to give advice on methods. They hope to do research in the summer to establish factuality in the controversy over the Pill and the effectiveness of other means. So far the group has restricted its activities to the university working through Hi Line and the Rap Room. But they intend to investigate related informational

and __-.~service agencies in the community. They “are at the moment trying to find a location for an office on campus. Support has come in the form of a $1000 loan to be paid back as able and $300 gift from the Math Society. It is difficult to approach organizations for donations be-

cause there always seem to be members who are disturbed by the moral issues implied. If anyone is interested in helping financially or need any information on birth control the names of the members can be obtained at the Rap Room or from Hi Line, 745-4533.

String

band

by Doug Deeth Chevron staff

Somewhere, deep down in the bowels of London’s infamous York Hotel, under the beer kegs, pepperoni sausages, potato chips and pickled eggs, there lived a group of five young men who, for reasons unknown to the civilized world, called themselves the Temperance

union

string

band.

Retreating from the world of - tubes, transistors, and nine thousand watt amplifiers, they amused themselves by playing a wierd type of music known as Bluegrass (not to be confused with Acapulco Gold), telling stories of their Scottish ancestry, and warning the world of the dangers of whiskey and wild, wild women. Word of the group soon spread out along the proverbial grapevine. and three times the tIrOUD w&red out along the long Ydang-

erous road to Waterloo to play at the Missing Peece Coffee House, bringing their bluegrass and bawdy songs and stories to a highly appreciative audience. Alas, however, the original group -broke up, and leader Bill McHugh, a London school teacher, formed a new band and returned to play at the Missing Peece last Saturday evening. This new band, although instrumentally superior to the old Temperance

union

string

band,

seemed to lack the vitality and stage presence that was a strong asset to the old group. With McHugh playing guitar and autoharp, Paul Hurdle on banjo, Len Hilderly on mandolin, and a fanbanjo, and guitar, tastic washtub bass player named (presumably by his mother) Al Robbins, the group played an even mixture‘ ‘bf blue-

Say it with accent, but

vitality grass and old-timey music. Guest appearances by Wee Go rdie MacIn tyre, Canada’s fastest rising young kazoo player, and Dave Morrison, a former member of the group who may be rejoining them in the near future, added a little more depth to the band. Unfortunately, the band decided to play straight music last Saturday, eliminating most of their jokes and one-line cracks that added to their audience appeal. They seemed to feel that the audience should appreciate the music for the sake of the music alone, and often neglected to introduce the song other than to state what key it was played in. No doubt the group’s presentation will be brought back up to its former level with a little more experience playing together. /

Stepp&woff

play-

hap Tony Joe White’s set when one side of the sound system went for a couple af minutes. 0ther than that, everything about the col(ctti was outafuckinsight. Tony Joe received more than the polite applause normally accorded warm-up acts at this campus. He deserved more, but it seems that if you receive second billing, the audience is somehow obliged to put less energy into their appreciation of your talents. Which is too bad, considering that Tony Joe, backed only by a drummer, was able to fill the gym with his deep-south country brand of blues and rock and his unique guitar stylings. Sticking mainly to his own songs, he was able to impart to the audience the feel of life in the swamps and poor farm country in the southern states. Along with Doug Kershaw, White is one of the best of a new lot of singers from the south who gained prominence when Johnny Cash made his recent comeback. Their music is a refreshing change of pace from the music of the “heavier” groups such as SteppenwoF. This is not to say, of course, that it will or should, replace the Steppenwolves, as the group proved sunday. Any apprehension the audience may have had about the group was quickly dispelled as the band began to lay down their overpowering psuedorevolutionary rock.’ Led by singer John Kay, SteppenwoH proceeded- to tell a lot of the audience a lot of things they don’t normally hear on their top 40 radio stations. Songs such as Monster, from their new album of the same name, and The pusher present a different side to the bourgeios culture one associates \ivith this kind of music.

But what is perhaps m&t signif@& is that they exploit the potentiality of amplification almost to the fullest. Steppenwoff was loud, louder than any group to play here before and through their overwhelming volume added a vibrant and vital force to the lyrics of their songs. With the experience that comes from constantly playing before large audiences, they are able to achieve a balance of sound so that each instrument comes through loud and clear without distorting any of the others, a shortcoming which has proved the downfall of many aspiring rock groups. The content of their music is more, important, though, for in it, they. express their contempt for the society from which they are making their fortunes. It’s contradictory, of course, to hear them putting down the material based values of Arrerica, considering the amount of money they took home with them, but all the same, the message comes through distinctly - american capitalism has had its day and it’s high time for a change. Like the Stones and Jefferson airplane, Steppenwolf is providing’ much food for thought for its audience, with its denunciation of traditional american institutions and traditional american lies and hypocrisy. Almost all their songs are socially relevant and well adapted to their style of playing. It is this combination of, form and content which makes Steppenwofl one of ‘the most important groups currently reaching a mass audience. And it is also, that combination which made sunday night’s concert one of the very best since Paul Butterfield played here over two years ago.

side of the story Arab-Israeli conflict

Mr. Marvin Hershorn has accused the P .L.O. of murdering civilians, but he seems to be ignorant or want to hide the fact that the Israeli army has commited far greater outrageous acts, for example: (1) The correspondent of the British daily. The Guardian June 14, ,.196?, states: Israeli aircraft frequently strafed the refugees on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, destroying and burning. (2) On Dee 8, 1967, 100 houses of a village in a Jericho area were destroyed by an Israeli army. The villagers were forced to abandon their houses and cross the Jordan river to the West Bank. ’ Method used : the shooting of tens of innocent people in front of the other villagers, the killing of parents in front of their children use of police dogs etc (L’Orient Dee 9 1967 and Reuters.) (3) Regarding a shooting of 4 girls in Gaza,. U.P.I. and Reuters reported on May 28 1968 : 4 young girls were shot by Israeli soldiers and not injured as the Israelis announced earlier. (4) Sometimes the guards fire into the air to frighten the people, others push the refugees, one prodded and struck an old woman as one strikes an animal, when she was slow to move into the water.. Christian Science Monitor July 24 1967. (5) The Israeli authorities perform their so called “search operations” (now called collective punishment) very brutally and violently and in the middle of the night citizens are made to leave their homes and are not permitted to return until the searches are over. In order to spread panic among the populace the Israelis fire shots from machine-guns while they are carrying out these searches (Red Cross Report No. 3 Aug 111967). So Mr. Hershorn, these criminal acts of the Israeli Army were committed against an innocent and helpless people a long time before the acts you attributed to the P.L0. and Fatah took place.

every action there is a reaction, I would like to go back even further. Mr. Jon Kimche and his brother wrote in their book which was publicly endorsed by Ben Gurion; Kimche has described, “On July 11 1948 the following action taken by the Zionist official forces under Yiguel Alon (now Deputy Prime Minister) and commanded by Moshe Dayan, (now Israeli Defence Minister) “We drove at full speed into Lydda, shooting up the town and creating confusion and a degree of terror among the population . . . . .Its Arab population of 30,000 either fled or were herded on to the road to Ramallah. The next day Ramallah also was surrounded and its Arab population suffered the. same fate. Both towns were sacked by the victorious Israelis.” All these ‘acts are certainly shameful and some Jews like Nathan Chofshi has bravely said “We came and turned the native Arabs into tragic refugees, and still we dare to slander and malign them, to b.esmirch their name. Instead of being deeply ashamed of what we did and trying to undo some of the evil we committed.. .We justify our terrible acts and even attempt to glorify them. ” The problem of the refugees which is the cause of the whole tragedy in the Middle East can be solved if the Israeli leaders will take the stand taken by the great scientist of this century, Albert Einstein who said: I should much rather see a reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of, the Jewish State (Einstein, “My Later Years p. 263).

Chevron switch gut issues.

There is an eleventh commandment in Canada and that is, foreign academics and consultants are super intelligent beings and shall be welcomed into Canada with no questions asked. This is why we all of a sudden find foreign controlled departments in canadian universities. This same commandment has resulted in Canadians immediately rushing off to get American advice when confronted with _ any problem greater than sharpening a pencil. Even Al Adlington has been mythed into calling in Chicago consultants, (to tell him how to run the university) at a price of $40,000 Canadian tax dollars. In carrying out the eleventh commandment, the Canadian government even gives large tax exemptions to foreign academics during their first two years in Canada. bThis list of faithfulness to the eleventh commandment is endless. However; the plain fact is that as long as Canadians are naive enough to believe and practice the eleventh commandment, which we created, we have no one to blame but ourselves. We had Ibetter develop faith in our’ uwn ability and resources before it is too late. ’ It is heartening to see the Chevron switch to Canadian gut -+ssues. Recognition that Canada has unique problems, has to be the first step in solving these problems. Keep up the good work. C. ALEXANDER mech. eng.

I would like to kongratulate Jerry Malzan for his article on Dr. Weintraub. Malzan will be a leading candidate for the 1970 awarding of The World’s Most Prejudiced, Ignorant , Slanderous and Warped Piece of Journalism. Setting aside his baseless unjustified slander and defamation of the character, of one of Canada’s most distinguished resident economists, as the product of a sick and demented mind I would like to comment on Malzan’s superbly inept analysis of Dr. Weintraub’s efforts to create a first class graduate school in economics. The point that our paranoid reporter has missed is that while knowledge does not recognize national boundaries it does require an appropriate atmosphere in which to grow and sustain itself. Canada has produced very few excellent economists and despite their place of birth most of them have found the intellectual environment so barren that they have felt it necessary to go to other countries to advance their work. At the moment no Canadian department of economics can claim to have a faculty or a programme comparable with the better schools in the U.K. or the U.S.A. Dr. Weintraub is trying to end this situation by “inducing young economists from Harvard” and Oxford and Cambridge because they are among the world’s best. He is as unwilling to accept a second rate Canadian faculty member as he is to accept a second rate american faculty member. All his efforts are directed towards attracting the best reThe rardless of nationality. fact that good people are unwilling to come to Canada is a direct function of the weakness of the existing institutions. Fortunately for the University of Waterloo and Canada Dr. Weintraub and his work are held in very high regard. As a result many notable economists such as Sir Roy Harrod (Oxford), Dr. I. Pierce (Bristol), Dr. Seton (Oxford) and Dr. Katzer (Minneseta) have accepted invitations to come to Waterloo in a variety of capacities. The ability of our honourable reporter to construe this as the produce of an “imperialist surely get mentality” must him committed to an asylum in the near future. On behalf of the many students who appreciate the opportunity of studying under the world’s finest minds I would like to apologize to Dr. Weintraub for any Malzan’s embarrassment Mr. article may have caused him.

prof exp/ains ‘foreigners’

Your expose on the extension of American Empire Inc. into the economics department could be improved with the recognition that, unlike some physical sciences, there is a critical shortage of Canadian Ph. D’s in economics. one can infer from John Porter that the possibility exists, though it is certainly unproven, that the old schools, good oligopolists that they are, have deliberately restricted output to bring about this scarcity (keeping our salaries high). In any case Ph. D. production in economics at Canadian schools rarely reached the remarkable total of three per year through the 1950’s. In the sixties enrollment in economics increased 500%. Add to that demand, a dozen new economics departments at instant universities. Could those be staffed from the three grads per year? Fortunately Canadian graduate schools knuckled down to meet the challenge. In a display of public spiritedness reminiscent of our foreign aid effort, they undertook a massive new attack so that by the middle and late sixties four Ph.D’s per year were being produced. The federal government alone requires more than that, and is advertising for twelve now. The standard method of training for Canadian profs in economics has been to send Canadians to foreign schools and to have them return (maybe). As a matter of fact you wrongly “convict” Prof. Weintraub for recruiting at Harvard; the person sought was a Canadian. Still, this standard training method is hardly acceptable. Professor Scott in his presidential address to the C.E.A. argued that “our accustomed willingness to accept the training of ourselves, our contemporaries, and our future recruits in policy-oriented social science departments of other nations creates not only a welcome dependence on them as sources of manpower and high standards but also a less acceptable dependence on them as sources of inspiration and. character in matters of research. ” The graduate schools so desperately needed to train Canadians in Canada cannot be staffed with the imaginary Canadians some people see lined up for employment. Some departments have been able to get the help of non-nationals of unquestionable competence. In the circumstances I trust that we can all see that those well-meaning beavers who get so busy smacking their tails every time they see an eagle, contribute very little to the solution of the problem.

MacRae,

have no personal quarrel with the first-degree criterion, since! my own status is quite unambiguous. It is admittedly “‘crude “; at the same time, it is temptingly convenient, and probably accurate most of the time. There is another question that might be raised, though. Suppose a young man is born in Canada, that he matriculates at the age of seventeen in a Canadian university, that he graduates Bachelor of Arts at the age of twenty-one from a Canadian university and then spends three or four years at an A merican graduate school such as Harvard or California. At the end of that time, is he a Canadian or an American, culturally? . . . . The question “What is a Canadian #I is complex, subtle, and really unanserable. “. . . Oddly enough, the quotation from Hugh MacLennan ,on the front page of the Supplement contains a kind of answer to much of the current talk about Canadianization.‘ I do not have the paper by me, but, as I remember, the gist of it is that a Canadian is one who was born and has grown up in Canada or one who has come to Canada and remained here out of love for the Canadian wa y of life. Taking that as the standard, I think one might- - fairly argue that all the members of _ this Department are Canadian, including those who still hold American citizenship. ‘*

We shall have to wait a few years yet, well beyond the period of rapid growth of Canadian universities and the time of shortage of suitably trained Canadians, before ,we can justifiably moan about a Ruritanian takeover. The staff in this department originate from seven countries but most of us are Canadian citizens although only six out of the 79 were born in Canada. You are welcome to publish these comments.

The Gazette All of us are greatly indebted to the Gazette. In the fight for Canadianization allies are hard to come by, and the Gazette is an unexpected ally. After all, who but an ally would collect figures on the percentage of faculty at Waterloo, and show US that’ only 50.3% of the faculty at Waterloo is Canadian, or has seen fit to take out landed immigrant status; that in the faculty of arts this figure drops to 35.6%. And the Canadianization Yet group still has a few differences with the contributors to the Gazette: l The Gazette suggests twice that my figures were “inaccurate”, presumably because they referred to first degree, rather than to citizenship status. As if the figures were that different. And as if one could assume that everyone who did take out landed immigrant status feels that he has a stake in this land (as well as its payroll). (Needless to say, there are many native-born Canadians for whom this country is simply a source of instant wealth, through sell-out. The problem is that, in one form or another, almost every foreigner is a continentalist.) l The Gazette bemoans the fact that nothing new was brought up, that Professor Mathews, of Carlton university, did it already, and was discredited. Well, in the first place, no one ~ ever really discredited the “Waterloo Report”. It’s facts have never been disputed, only its motivations And anyone who cares the least bit for Canada could agree with its motivations. As for “nothing new”: Was it previously common knowledge that only 45% of Waterloo professors took their first degree in Canada? l In the same vein: Is the Gazette, and the administration, satisfied that only 50.3% of “our” foreign faculty has seen fit to take out Canadian citizenship? When this figure is compared ,with our (entirely reliable) figures on first degrees, it appears that only 10% of foreign faculty are bothering to take out landed immigrant status. Even the Canadianization group doesn’t believe that things can be this bad. Is Canada really held that much in contempt, that so very few of our foreign imports would deign to be known as Canadians? l The Gazette makes much of the fact that a year ago the student council was death on any form of nationalization, particularly this one. Indeed, council went so far as to equate Canadian nationalism with chauvanism. It seems odd to me that the Gazette is suddenly so concerned over student opinion. Students have asked for many things in the past, and the Gazette has always been there to tell them how “unrealistic” etc. they are. Why the sudden concern with student opinion? Anyhow, the’ Chevron staff, and the Canadianization group, respects you, and honours you for printing those figures. In at least one sense you are honest journalists

A liberal doctor, probably just as safe as a legal abortion but it will cost at least $300. Or she can go to a butcher, cost about $50. Odds on safety: low. Adoption. Now we get into the middle of a psychiatric debate. Is there more mental strain for the mother in putting a child up for adoption than “killing” that child at the three month fetal stage? A great deal of evidence indicates that the former, is more apt to cause a breakdown than the latter. The girl has decided she doesn’t want the child. The structures around her pressure her into having it. The girl doesn’t have control over her own body. The legislation was drafted by, presented by, and passed by men. But women are the most affected by it. Abortion on demand must be legalized, A woman should not be required to justify her decision.
