Although narrowly defeating a motion at its meeting last tuesday calling on the administration -to reserve 67 percent graduate space for Canadian citizens, the graduate union has decided to make canadianization a major concern. Canadianization motions which were passed included . a recommenda tion to the administration concerning the policy of advertising for graduate posts. The union urged that all advertisements for posts at canadian universities should be placed first in Canadian publica tions ; that no adver‘tisements shoulg be placed abroad unless no-one has replied to the Canadian ads and that grads who are-Canadian citizens or landed immigrants should be given preference. Leo Lehtiniem was finally elected chairman .of a commitee to investigate the entire canadhis ianization issue ; although personal proposals-including the 67 percent stipulation-were voted down 5 to 3. ’ While Lehtiniem stated the 67 percent was a very conservaunion president tive figure, Gerry Fuller: and a majority of members felt the item could safely be deleted. The union also has asked the Gazette to publish a list of facu1ty appointments indicating and former citizenship Posts and papers connected with the appointee so graduate students

He joined Hagey’s Waterloo College in 1955 as its first full-time administrator, No successor will be named until after new administration president Bert Matthews &kes office and the university’s management study is completed. Adlington cited “personal happiness’ as his reason for leaving, and felt the change of environment would be stimulating.

City cops make Last thursday night-for the second time in a week-a student was arrested at a campus center pub. The student had apparently been drinking obtside the pub door and was taken into custody after hassling a police officer over refusing to return to the pub. For the last three months city police have been‘ employed for pub duty rather than university security guards, a practice which began when several guards were not available because of illness and -city police ‘were assigned instead. Since then, campus guards have not volunteer& for this overtime duty because they receive only $3.25 per hour while city police receive $5 per hour for the same function. The security off ice explains that campus guards would be assigned if they volunteered ; otherwise city police are procured. According to people who sponsor pubs as well as campus center turnkeys, campus police generally are niore tactful than regular officers in enforcing drinking laws. One turnkey commented that a

Although several pub sponsors offered to pay campus police as much as city police, they must abide by the unive.rsity’s pay scale and are not in a position to make such a decision. Security chief Al Romenco was unavailable to commeht on the suggestion that the scale be revised or that some other .means of payment be devised.

GUELPH (staff )-After two weeks with the threat of bankruptcy looming over its head, the university of Guelph student assembly has arranged a $20,000 bank loan to cover outstanding debts. The student government has been in financial difficulty since january when student pledges to join the voluntary union by paying a $15.50 per term fee dropped from 76 to. an estimated 20 per ’ cent of the student body. Past assembly president John Flegg, admonished in ma?ch for arbitrarily closing the student press, the Ontarion, collected the fee for two terms but had riot paid any bills since,Beptember. When student support waned in january, the union was at least $10,000 in debt-a bill that included $3,000 owing to the Guelph administration. An eleventh-hour attempt to recoup losses failed miserably about two weeks ago when the feature attraction of an assembl y-spdnsored rock festivalthe Guess Who-did not show up. Tickkets had to be refunded. Much of the money originally paid to the union could not be accounted for when the assembly’s centralized book-keeping ,system broke down. By this system, funds were pooled, and expenses for all activities came from, only one account. A change in hired business managers was cited as &he reason funds were misallocated and ineptly handled. The assembly was only saved from declaring bankruptcy by a ban negotiated on its $20,000 interest in the Guelph campus copresident Administration w \

seems un-

folds

Winegard has refused to accept what the assembly claims is a growing demand to return to an adirriinistration-collected compulsory fee until at least 85% of the students voice approval. Present assembly president David Simpson‘ calls for a more secuie use of the fee by establishing separate, essentially autonomous spheres of activity -such as an authority for social and cultural athletics (comparable to the Waterloo federation of students’ board of student activities). Under the plan, a union council executive would act only in the capacity oc an activity coordinating body. The Ontarion, which. had depended upon a portion of the old voluntary fee, has become incorporated and now sells term subscriptions (ten issues) for $2.00 per student, or individual papers at 25 cents apiece. To date, only 300 subscriptions have been sold on a campus of 2000 summer students. Radio Griffin, in receipt of a recent administration grant of $25,000 and as yet, according to a reliable source< with only one broadcast outlet, is also in financial trouble and has .begun accepting advertising.

This wee& from pollution

Pollution Last week, the Canadian government finally saw fit to ban use by the individual consumer of two herbicides which are highly suspected of causing birth deformities. The two herbicides commonly known as 2,4-D and 2, 4, 5-T, produced by Dow Chemical, Litton Industries and others, are the main weapons used by the U.S. military for biochemical warfare in Vietnam. Recently available research reports by the U.S. government indicate that 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T cause severe pre-&al deformities when ingested ‘by pregnant mice and rats. The research w& carried out when it became obvious that in defoliated areas in Vietnam, the incidence of defdrmed babies increased significantly. All indications point to the fact that pregnant Vietnamese women were ingesting a component of these herbicides (dioxin) in drinking water which had been contaminated. The extent of damage to humans in Vietnam has not yet been reliably estimated but at the present time more than five million acres of that country (approximately 12% of its total land mass) has been heavily Sprayed with a number of biological warfare agents, mainly 2,4,5-T. Most often the herbieides have been used in populated areas; villages and hamlets tihich are considered “unfriendly” to the U.S. -cause of democracy in Sotitheast Asia. Recently, the programme of crop destruction, begun by L the U.S. war machine in 1962, has been stepped up. The ultimate aim of the crop destruction programme is to deprive the Viet Cong of food supplies by biochemicaly destroying agricultural

production ih unfriendly ireas. As usual the effect has increased starvation, particularlg in the civilian population, especially among children. ,

previously. has ended, tor, these effects will Vietnamese

Long-Term Effects There are indications that aside from the short term effects of defoliation, which result in prolonged starvation, a number of long-term hazards seem likely. All reports indicate that vegetation, particularly hardwoods, do not regenerate quickly after defoliation. It has also been shown that in marshy areds, 2,4,,5-T causes lateralization. Lateralization results when organic matt?r in .the soil ceases to be produced normally, the soil breaks down and forms a substance not unlike brick. This is an irreversible ecological process. Defoliation, as it his been carried out extensively in Vieti ,nam through the “use of 1 these herbicides, has also had marked changes on the ecological balance ‘of the area. Destructibn of vegetation, especially around delta and river areas, has made subsistence impossible for organisms which were the main food supply of fish-one of the few protein staples in that country’s diet. This may seem a minor dislocation in a country where napalm bombing and freefire techniques are commonplace. But its effects are widespread. Chemical warfare has and is creating millions of refugees, destroying the -,means to feed them, and rendering the agricultural area incapable of further support for an unknown period of time. Investigations have confirmed that dioxin remains active in soils which have been sprayed as long as fourteen months

A Current Issue ( Despite the fact that the effects of these chemicals were made knpwn over a year ago by the Pentagon, the sale of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T continued on the open market to Canadian householders until l&t week. Now the individual householder can no longer procure it, but no mention was made of its use by industry. Most municipalities spray roadways each springtime. Hydro and telephone companies use sprays to clear undergrowth along power lines. In diluted forms, these herbicides are used on such common weeds as dandelions and on fodder crops such as corn for domestic animals. Last year the U.S. government scientists began testing 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T for yet another , reason. Millions of young chicks died after having eaten certain types of processed feed containing dioxin. It is known that under heat, dioxin can be produced’ into a whole class of chemical substances, some of which have been found in animal feeds. Scientists now speculate that dioxin present even in dilute forms of 2,4, 5-T remains in the harvested corn and its by-products. In this manner it is passed up the food chain. Bio-assays on chick embryos revealed that all the embryos were killed by’ dioxin poisoning. There is every reason to suspect that if the organism survives, (a chick perhaps), the dioxin will be passed on to the consymer . Care for some Kentucky fried chicken?

GUELPH, (staff)-J. Percy Smith, former executive secretary of the Canadian association of uni= versity teachers (CAUT) will likely be appointed academic vice-president by the university of Guelph board of governors at its may 22 meeting. Smith, a Shaw scholar, will replace Burt Matthews who leaves Guelph july 1st to b$ome p?esi-, dent of the university of Waterloo. Though the secluded Matthews has previously stated that he has -“never seen examples of in(tustry influencing university programs, either on-the-side, or through the board of governors,” Smith-an outspoken “liberal’‘-has criticised the intrusion of business and \ industry into university affairs. states ’ Smith, “Intellectual wakefulness, ”

The play was part of the Ontario high school drama fes),ival. John was not attending as premier or anything, just as a parent. His son Tim was in a play where the workers have some sort of contest with the ruling class. Tim was one of the workers. This is corrupt and degradacious behavior . - Tim would. make a better junior executive, I think. I would like to personally congratulate the PP&P tree experts for selecting the poetic weeping willow to enhance the lawns around the faculty club. Although the hills used around campus to hide roads and parking lots burn in mid-summer. from lack of water, these stalwarts of landscaping boldly decided that weeping willows would do well on the top of a hill. They sure will. Mother nature just plants them in wet, boggy areas for the hell of it. The trees will die, says a biolo-

Oh well Woodstock tommies still may be a bit romantic. There were lots of bands, herds of six to ten year old baton twirlers that couldn’t some of which were boys.

He lived on an earth with infinite a’mounts of all the raw materials from which to fashion the good life. He took the easiest route to wealth. Now the earth is in trouble; The fossil fuels are depleted, populations explode, the earth’s ecology is traumatized by greed and carelessness, and man can always push the button and blow himself away. Enter Buckminster Fuller with The Torch of Hope. “The Design Science Invention Revolutioncarried out by students and scientists can save Man and tiake him a sucess, if nuclear, obliteration can be staved off for the next 30 years.” Utopia or Oblivion is Fuller’s Gospel of the Salvation of Spaceship Earth.

Fuller regards the 20th century and in par-, titular the next 30 vears as crucial in the history of the human race. Thomas Malthus the Sritish statistician de.termined in the 1930’s that man was reproducing himself faster than he could feed himself. .Then Charles D&-win announced his theory of evolutipn and the law of “survival of the fittest.” Political systems based their ideologies on these two assumptions. They asked, “How do you get along without enough?” And the reply was, “Our side has the best chance to survive.” Great arms races developed between ideologies. All the scientists were .employed to develop more powerful weapons. “For the first time in history you can’t use your greatest Fuller writes. “Yet both sides assweapon,” ume warfare.” Fuller disputes the conclusions and together with some ather scientists believes that advanced technology will be able to handle the population explosion. So how’s Bucky going to save the world from annihilation? That too is wrapped in the triangle and tetrah’edron. Wouldn’t you know it. Fuller supports and augments his theory of Utopia with his private diary, the Chronofile, and his Inventory of World Resources Human Trends and Needs. Fuller’s theofy for Utopia goes like this: Since the triangle encloses a space most efficiently and a tetrahedron is the elemental system of the universe illustrates nature’s method of doing everything in the simplest, most efficient manner. Fuller observes that man has never followed this example, rather he has done things in the easiest way with no regard for efficiency. Only a small group of men have used nature efficiently. Sailors, and more recently aviators and spacemen were removed from the earth’s land masses and fort-ed to get maximum performance out of eiery pound of mattIer in their-ships. They had to do more with less. Scientists showed them how.

Throughout the book Fuller recites again and again how the standard of living-has risen since the turn of the century so fhat now over 44% of mankind enjoys the highest standard of living ever attained while only 1% of humanity enjoyed this in 1900. All this is a result of industrialization, while._ at’ the same time material resources per capita were \ diminishing.,

dammit man politicians are not going off in space! Not now! Not e&r! Throughout Utopia -or CWivion Fuller blithely ignores’those facts that are hanging up mankind (and could hangup his neat tetrahedronal philosophy) as‘ much as science and industrialization are helping humanity. Not that Fuller doesn’t deplore the way things are. He does. But, and this is where I lost faith, he ignores it. , He ignores politicians. He ignores the rn-ilitary industrial complex. He ignores the fact t at Standard Oil, Royal Dutch Shell, Gulf and 7 a few other -oil companies are sucking the world dry. He ignores the fact that four out of five american dollars being idvested by Big Business are being used to buy up the rest of 1 the world. He ignores the fact that only 1 ob.000 people (or less) own over 90% of the United States’ private wealth and that they are heavily subsidized by a government that starts socialism at the top and so little filters down that one-third of ‘the richest nation lives in

This phenomenon is explained by what Fuller calls ephemeralization~the doing of ever more with ever less, per given resource units of pounds, time, and energy. The law of conservation of energy-states that energy can be neither created or destroyed. Knowledge can only increase. Wealth defined as the combination of energy and intellect can only increase. “Ephemeralization was vastly -augmenting the standards of living of ever increasing numbers, but only inadvertently, as fallout from the defense-subsidized preoccupation of science with a weaponry supporting industrialization.“, If the present rate of “scientific fallout” continues, 100% of the human race will enjoy a high standard of living by the year 2000, even if the present rising birth rate is not curbed. +How to Make the World Work,” a computerized game developed by Fuller and Southern Illinois University was designed to show the validity of his theory and to hone the processes by which Man invents Utopia Fuller further concludes t.hat this high standard of living will abolish war and because man has no desire to fight when his wants are satisfied.

poverty. Yeah, sure, Buckminster Fuller knows these harsh realities. He documents many of them in his book. In his philosophy he ignores them. He.sends them around the sun with the politicians or he disqualifies them from playing his Electronic Salvation Game, because they start a war. His only answer to these myriad problems all bound inextricably with the concepts of Private Property is found in “DeSign Strategy.” “Physical or ‘natural’ law hh no inherent static “property” law-only behavior ‘properties. Nature’s laws of evolution defy all static patterns. Entropy breaks them up. “Ownership” is not immoral, ammoral, or ethically unsound. Physical “ownership” is antientro’pic-ergo, eventuallv unsustainable. The design science t-&olution envisioned by Fuller is the spontaneous comb&tion 01 students and scientists discarding the- shackles of the universities, busiqess and gave-t-n. ments and independently inventing the tool: that will create Utopia by the year 2000.

machines.”

Yes, Friends, Ihe Military-Industrial complex is your Savior if i doesn’t kill you first. , This is where I part company with the Utopian theory of R. Buckminster Fuller. , One of Bucky’s favorite parables (I have it at least twice in my three-year-old notes and it appears in almost every essay in his new book) go& as follows: If all the world’s politicians’s were set on a trip around the sun, they wouldn’t be missed. Man would go on eating, he might even be better off. But if all the world’s machines were sunk to the’bottom of the ocean, two billion people would die within six months. .

stud for fecferalism The Chevron’s recent analysis of the controversial Quebec provincial election is indicative of a considerable deficiency on the part of political integrity. To the’ same extent it is a blatantly poor example of objective journalism. To say the least, Mr. Charboneau’s rather biased commentary was sufficiently lacking in statistical’ profundity. His rather mediocre conclusion that the electoral system of that province in question is by and large responsible for the results of April 29, reflects ,an inexcusable inaccuracy on his part as well as a failure to thoroughly examine the forces and influences-political and socio-economic-which were so influential in providing the subsequent results.

Elementary School poetry (I’ve never read a Canadian novel in connection with an English course) ; 4 courses in Economics, all taught by Canadians but without Canadian content (I learned about the U.S. Federal Reserve system without learning about the Bank of Canada). The rest of the list is much the same* That is, having a Canadian Professor is no, guarantee of having someone in better tune with Canada than ould be expected of any foreign 3 rofessor . For this reason the term de-Canadianization is a misnomer. Our education has always been British, and still is below the University level where the American shift is taking place. Wasn’t it just last week that Toronto finally dropped a regulation about saluting the Union Jack? In fact, our education is so bereft of Canadian content that few Canadians realize the extent of its implications. For example last week’s Chevron article concentrated on Canadian content in the Arts and totally ignored a field at least as important if not more so. _ Here I refer to Science and Engineering . Canadian scientists have an argument which says that physi-_ cal laws are international and that therefore Canadian content is irrelevant in the Physical Sciences. It may well be that wa&r freezes at 32 degrees fahrenheit whether you’re in Phoenix or Inuvik but the fact that it freezes considerably, more often in Inuvik poses some special technical problems not faced in Phoenix.

cannot be undermined. It was a victory for federalism and future econo,mic stability and quite understandably a defeat for the communist-inspired sources of separatism. Although it may be said that the present electoral system is outmoded, it is certainly not unrepresentative of popular ’ aspirations. To blame the Parti Quebecois defeat on such a trivial issue is, to say the least mere shortsightedness on the part of Mr. Charboneau. The so-called “inequalities” of the electoral system were actually glimpses of a reality present in Quebec today i.e. that the majority of the electorate did not want to become separated from Canada. Thus, if the results of the election gave ’ the separtists only seven seats with twenty-three percent of the popular vote the answer can only be said to exist in the hearts and the minds of the people. -Had the liberals with the program of potential financial stability and sensible federalism, not been elected, Quebec today would soon have found itself to be in the position of economic chaos. With the-problem of an extremely high unemployment rate and the prospect of making Quebec attractive as ever to potential investors, Mr. Bourassa and the Liberals have taken it upon themselves to deal with the extremely difficult task ahead. We cannot help but be optimistic for Quebec today. It’s our last chance to keep Canada together. ’ OSWALD TREMBLEY grad business administration Waterloo lutheran university

RECENT escalation of the -Vietnamese war into Cambodia represents incredible madness and insane folly. It is all the more demeaning for having beendone in the name of “patriotism and honor and glory”. “We are in error. Today we have taken a step that will not easily be reversed,” said U.S. senator .Edward Kennedy. Error! Perhaps the compound-and continuing errors of the U.S., in southeast asia demand more responsibility on Canada’s part-on our part. The american delusion of military victory by escalation must be demonstrated as the folly it surely is. Isn’t it time Canada abandoned her increasingly ineffective “quiet diplomacy”? Isn’t it time we attempted to show our neighbors to the south their tragic delusions and fundamental misconceptions?

HE, OUT,LOCK FOR youth in Canada in the seventies needs reassessing. Youth’s successes in the sixties however are threatened. * A few examples already of adult man ipulation : and by the liberal establishment (not even by the “Y” and Boy Scout leaders) indicate this: l P.E.T.‘s swinging youth policy of lowering-the voting are, l the government of Canada’s hushhush Committee of Youth examination of better ways of “co-ordinating” their “youth programs” - (remember Pelletier’s ‘youth draft’ speech?), 0 the senate committee on poverty’s refusal to hear from youth groups that have material and sociological-induced poverty, as only adult groups, primarily institutionalized ones, know about povi erty, l the Canadian welfare council’s transient youth report with its desires for a I “national system” of youth services. One half of Canadian citizens lack their basic civil rights. One-third of Canadians are forced to attend jails called schools. It couldn’t just be the cops, Salvation ArManpower offices my, school boards, and old ladies that Canadian youth have to contend with. Where should they go? The C.U.N.C.D., S. U.P.A., the New Left, C.U.S., the Expo youth pavilion no longer exist - the C.Y.C. C.U.S.O., Rochdale, Cool-aids and Crypts are faultering. Will we ourselves live

silly as those he accuses of blind acceptance of assumed unquestionable authority. See for yourself: the U.S. for seeing asian communism as a mi/itary threat. Yet, while denouncing simplistic anti-communism on one hand, he merrily falls into his own traphe assumes, unquestioningly, that communism is a threat. Not a dirty military threat, but an OK political and cultural _one. In effect, his word-mincing is no more news-truth than his editor’s word mincing in refusing the article was truth-stiffling.

In war it is often necessary to deceive friend and foe alike. The danger comes when one sinks to self-deception. Then, with flags waving and hymns playing, one -will charge blindly into the valley of national disgrace and ultimate destruction. Isn’t it time we showed the U.S. that lying to others is one thing but that lying to oneself is unforgivably deceitful? Despite history there, are still many who cling to the simplistic juxtaposition of “communism” and the “free world”. The Dulles principle of military containment of a supposed monolithic Communism dies hard indeed. Despite the badly-split communist world the ,hawkish minds of the conservative anti-communist militarists apparently reign supreme in the policy-making centre of the United States. Canada should show the United States that the issue China poses is not military

up to the seventies ? We are doing creative things and getting to know our international brethren. Can we expect that; there will be a better societal understanding in the future from such as maybe the LeDain Commission(Royal Commissioa on the Non-Medical Use of Drugs)? Is there hope in changing an adult-run, institutionalized society? Let me answer as one in the under 30 generation, but also as an individual concerned, by briefly giving a minority report to the Canadian welfare council’s Transient youth project for’ which I did some work. The Transient youth report is best described as an ‘adult report, sprinkled with traditional values, and for an adult, primarily institutionalized audience. It is a report that establishes no meaningful dialogue with youth themselves. Why, it even has a section in the report where youth are allowed to speak out! While the report does contain valuable background infor- _ mation?, it fails miserably in its conclusions, attitudes and understanding of youth. Yes, the report is a wasted unimaginative effort that heralds the more troubled times to come. Its recommendations are not credible nor worked out in consultation with youth, or to be implemented by youth. Especially ill thought-out are its calls for a national youth policy and for a national youth bureau. The report continually talks in terms of
