“Revolutions aren’t made overnight. The struggle is a long one. You can’t do it without people.” So spoke Mr. Jesse Gray, of the american national tenants organization at the second annual convention of the Ontario tenants association, held June 26-28 in Hamilton. “I have no confidence that the system is going to solve the housing crisis. We have to exhaust tenants’ illusions about the system.. .people must come first, and property second. That is the fundamental struggle. We have to change and’ reshape the government. “Democracybelongs to those in power. When you start to challenge their democracy, you get in trouble. We have to develop a revolutionary people’s movement and build a new government for the people. ” Mr. Gray, and his associate, Ed Roy Harris, who also addressed the meeting, are both blacks, and are both extremely militant. They .believe that such actions as the “People’s Park” venture in Berkley do not reflect the mainstream of american radicalism. In the United States, where housing costs run 85% higher than tenant incomes, thousands of people are being radicalized by such struggles as the fight for rent control, which is --being waged in thirty-nine american cities.

As far as-grad status within the federation of students was concerned, a referendum is being mailed this summer to all grads in order to achieve an accurate indication -of -whether grads feel federation membership is worthwhile. In the meantime, the GSU has arranged with federation president Larry Burko to have the $22 grad fee suspended this fall until october 31 by which time full referendum results should be known. The executive expressed the desire that grads would opt for a voluntary fee of perhaps $5.. Queen’s university at Kingston is the only other nearby university which similarly represents both grads and undergrads in the same student union. In other business, the executive announced a permanent secretary would be hired soon. Although lack of quorum made the meeting illegal, GSU bylaws state that another meeting within seven days will be considered’ _ legal, whether or not quorum is reached.

Gray emphasized that legitimate channels are closed to the poor--both black and white. The real estate lobby is the second largest in the country and there is little chance to win in the courts, which Gray calls a “mid-dle class phenomena. ” According to Gray, most of the judges in New York city, for example, are slum landlords; New York mayor John Lindsay is himself a slum landlord who has tried to turn his following of “peaceniks” a.gainst those engaged in rent struggles. “The heart of the question,” Harris and Gray agree, is “maximum profits” versus “marginal profits. ” Many landlords would rather sell their buildings than marginal profits. make only Gray and his associates in the NT0 are trying to convince poor blacks that private ownership is not the answer. “The only answer is to nationalize housing.”

Indicting

Attendance at last monday night’s grad student union meeting seemed to point out the apathy most grad- students feel for -GSU activities. / Only 24 people (of over 1500 regular term grads)-forty less than quorum-attended to discuss current graduate student problems, especially with the federation of students. Even though the attendance indicated poor interest, some of the GSU plans are very generous.\ Again tackling the “Canadianization” ‘issue, the GSU is requesting the administration to advertise for university positions in foreign journals only if no suitcan ’ be found able applicant first through appeals in Canadian periodicals. The meeting was also told that the executive was arranging for a report to be sent to Ottawa expressing grad views on the recent white paper on taxation. Of major concern in the report would be the effect of proposed changes in the taxation of graduate grants.

private

property

The sentiments of Gray and Harris proved to be an apt beginning- for the weekend that followed. The seventy-five delegates to the- conference, from several major centers in Ontario, included welfare recipients, working and women who are people,

supporting a family on mother’s allowance. All had a common interest in the housing situation in Ontario, and the majority were sympathetic to Gray’s indictment of private property, and his call for militant action by tenants. In her report to the convention, out-going chairman Joan Kuyek of Kingston, echoed Gray’s warning about relying on the law courts for decent settlem,ents in housing disputes: “Don’t expect anything out of the courts. We didn’t make the laws and they’re not for us; they’re for the guys on the other side. “The law is not-about justice. It’s about protecting property and the landlords. “We have to care about each other and not argue amongst ourselves. We must treat each other with dignity and have self-respect.” Mrs. Kuyek was speaking here in response to a heated debate which had taken place between conference delegates and a real estate agent who had charged welfare recipients with lack of initiative. “What our income is is not our fault, and is not of our making. We got put there,” said Kuyek. “Those people who make a lot

of money do so because they live off other people. Unemployment is created to put down inflation for the fat-cats who live off us. We’re subsidizing them.”

Thrive on housing crisis Before the conference adjourned late sunday afternoon, it reaffirmed its founding convention’s statement of principles which stated that two classes of people are interested in housing; those who live in it and those who live off it. The latter comprised developers, real estate speculators,’ lending institutions, landlords’ lobbies y and the governments which are all too ready to heed , their wishes. It is these institutions which are responsible for the housing crisis and they alone who benefit from it+ The- Ontario tenants association seeks to represent a growing part of the first group, that is, those who rent the accommodations they occupy. The OTA bases all its policies and actions on the premises that everyone has the right to decent accommodation which he or she can afford; that it is the responsibility of government to ensure that this housing is provided and that because tenants, through their rent, pay for the financing, operations and maintenance of their accommodations, they should be entitled to bargain collectively over the terms of their rents, and over the quantity” and quality of services provided.

~Recycling by Jay Thompson

Chances are that no matter what you do with it, your discarded newspaper ends its brief career by ‘being unceremoniously dump@ in a landfill site along containers , with- plastic javex and empty beer cans. This is not the answer. Paper can be recycled And it can be recycled economically, saving natural resources and subsidizing its own collection. Yet, despite these facts no Canadian city has given serious consideration to recycling the paper they now collect as nondescript garbage. TREND

SETTERS

K-W could become the trend setters in this development if they will anly give the merits of wastepaper recycling their full and unbiased attention when the basis for the scheme will be pre, sented to Twin City councils in the near future by pollution probe. In the first place, the amount of paper that is gathered in with garbage is high, constituting some 46 per cent of all garbage collected. This means that of the 9,545 tons of garbage transported by the city of Waterloo last year, 4,000 of these were paper. Of Kitchener’s garbage, 36,000 tons consisted of paper. Not- all of this paper was news-print, but all of, it was usable. As a matter of fact newsprint makes up 30 per cent of the total paper .with a market price of 10 dollars a ton. Cardboard ( 15 per

probe

our waste cent of paper collected) brings in 15 dollars per ton. The other 55 per cent is “miscellaneous” (with fluctuating market value, probably averaging 5 dollars to the ton. In pure dollars and cents, however, the total is impressive. Had Waterloo disposed of its paper collections on the market last year they would have earned 32,000 dollars for their taxpayers. ’ Kitchener’s bonus dividends would have equalled 286,000 dollars. Or, to put it another way, of the 108,500 dollars spent by Waterloo /for garbage collection, the sale of paper \would have defrayed some 30 per cent of the-expenses. Those are figures any city administrator and taxpayer can understand. It means that if the cost of collecting paper is roughly equal to the price received for those papers, then at least one aspect of municipal service is self-supporting. That’s something to think about. SEWENTEti-N

TREES

There is more, however, than simply reselling paper to commend the plan. ’ Last year the United States sent almost 350 million- tons of solid wastes to open land dumps. Ten years from now the predicted dumping of solids will exceed one-half billion tons. How much available space is there? Far better to save it for necessary garbage than to squander it as a burial grounds for paper which can be recycled.

Paper In fact, this lack of space is one of the “most pressing- environmental problems” of our times. Authorities are now reviewing a variety of solid waste items with an eye to future recycling. There is also the cost consideration. The less dumping and filling that, is done, the lower expenses will be. And, consider this. For every ton of paper that is recycled seventeen trees can be left standing. That means that K-W could have saved ‘well over 650,000 trees last year had they been recycling their paper. Needless to add, our natural resources won’t take the pressure of this unrestrained wastage forever. f FEASIBIL’ITY

A program aimed at collecting wastepa’per separate from other forms of garbage can be initiated. Presently, several New Jersey towns are pioneering this form of collection. Bylaws against placing newspapers in with garbage are being enacted to ‘give the -project teeth while enthusiastic support from local organizations is insuring the success of the experiment. i Costs, too, for collection of dual waste can be kept to a minimum. Madison, Wisconsin has devised a basket-type appliance for their vehicles, thereby allowing both paper and garbage to be collected simultaneously while being kept separate for disposal purposes.

PAPER

A vaguely poetic ad from Bergstrom Papers of Neenah, Wisconsin affords some insight into the industrial aspect of recycling paper: “We make paper out of paper. We wash yesterday’s history out of it. The ink. We beat out yesterday’s clay. And resins. And fillers. And binders. A thread remains: A clean pure fibre born long ago in a green forest.” The result of the process is the basic material needed to manufacture high quality paper. Most of Bergstrom’s paper is used by book publishers. .~Thus, recycling can be a big business. Last year, United States papermakers processed 365,000 tons of newspapers coming away -with 45 million dollars ‘worth of newsprint. Obviously there is a market .for recycled paper, both real and potential. But it must be expanded. The raw material is available. The price is competitive. In some cases it is even cheaper to recycle paper. It only remains for the cities of Canada to supply these materials and boost this type of papermaking industry. Until they do the price will be high in both natural resources j wasted and garbage collection budget costs. It is for this reason, then, that K-W pollution probe is going to present wastepaper recycling briefs to Twin City councils. A beginning has to be made somewhere. And soon. Why not with K-W? Other cities might follow our lead. THIS HAS BEEN PART ONE OF A TWO PART SERIES 0~ PAPER RECYCLING IN THE K-W AREA ’

Next week will examine how paper recycling can be applied, who can contribute and how, and what measures ‘will be deemed necessary to institute the project in order to make it successful. I

changes

While working to build “an alternate community” in Kitchener-Waterloo, the M4M has decided to also change its name. Now they are identifying themselves by the name of their planned free rock festival which will be held july 25 and 26-experiment ‘70. This reflects a desire of most members to adopt a separate identity from that of the Toronto based may fourth movement. Toronto’s M4M )named after the date of the Kent State killings) is a coalition of factions which was formed to raise bail money for those arrested at the demonstration in front of the US consulate-in Toronto. M4M has generally adopted more ‘militant’ confrontation tactics while experiment ‘70 is more involved in such activities as organising the free rock concert such as the one held in Victoria park a couple of weeks ago. I In response to high prices at rock festivals the M4M in Toronto organized a’ gate-crashing at

its nume the Festival Express held in the CNE grounds. The admission priceswere 14 -dollars in advance and 16 dollars at the door for the two day concert. M4M claims that the ripoff festivals steal their youth culture and resell it to them at exhorbitant prices. Experiment. ‘70 is primarily concerned with struggling for cultural survival by building an alternative community. Some of the people are trying to establish free and cheap food stores. Others are setting up a picnic in Victoria park for, july 12. The main event being planned at present is the free rock concert july 25 and 26 to be held in the Waterloo centennial park. It will feature rock bands from Toronto, Barrie and Kitchener. Anyone interested in helping with the qrganization of the concert is invited to drop in with their ideas at the Tunnel Inn on Frederick street. friday

All of the characters (with the exception of Harry and his girlfriend) are one-dimensional stereotypes, but this is not to say that they are bad. Just as Heller uses typesrather than real people in Catch - zz in order to effectively point up ‘absurdity, this movie makes good use of types to simplify and stress the absurdities and stupidities facing Harry. . _Some of the situations are a bit too much, and the rapid jump-from one major issue to another so that every problem besetting youth may be milked for its topicality makes one a little dizzy. Some of the points the movie tries to make lose some of their bite because of this, and the relationship between Harry and his girlfriend is sufficiently murky so that it also only detracts from the theme.

On the positive side, the scenes of the confrontations between the students and the police who are called in to prevent rioting and who only succeed creating one, are masterfully done. The grisly aspects of mace, and clubbings, and water-hosing turn the scene from that of one-dimensional student radicals protesting at one-dimensional administration types to the.horrors of real people being beaten with real clubs by cops who hate them. The seriousness of the confrontation, and the stupidity of the administration in granting token concessions to students who are about to burn the university, coupled with the farce of hi-s MA orals in which one of the professors tries to make Harry agree that homosexual panic is what caused F. Scott Fitzgerald to write the Great Gatsby, finally succeed in driving Harry back to the revolution. Tired of trying to turn himself inside out in-order to ciety, Harry breaks up his orals, and heaves a brick along students who are rioting, and finally, in the midst of utter something which would make Abbie Hoffman proud-he love to his girlfriend while the battle rages about them.

LEX BONDE LIKES his social workers shak-s en, not stirred. Last-summer, for example, getting wind that a bureaucrat was giving a welfare recipient a rough time, Bonde would burst into the bureaucrat’s office, and with a crash, drop a nineu foot iron chain on his polished desk.

“What’s that,” the shaken official would ask. “That,” Bonde would pronounce,” is the chain of poverty. ’ ’ It wouldnever fail to squeeze another food or clothing voucher,,an extra rent allotment or other help out of a reluctant social assistance administrator. Bonde is a driving force behind Vancouver’s unem-, ployed citizen & welfare improvement council. Through its -welding influence, the poor of Vancouver are coming to realize they do have common links. The crash of that human chain is slowly reverberating through the city.‘ The story is the same in major cities across the ;country - the poor are fighting back. A hungarian immigrant, vintage ‘56, 24-year-old Bonde helped transform a letters-to-the-editor and-member-ofparliament type of organization into one that puts the city’s welfare bureaucracy up against their padded chairs. ‘~ The UCWIC emerged publiely in Vancouver in summer, 1969. Under Bonde’s influence there was an influx of younger unemployed, and the group resolved to tackle the various dehumanizing aspects of life on welfare one at a time. First target was the local banks’ <practice of allowing welfare cheques to be cashed only at a segregated line-up in a certain bank. Some propaganda, a few militant mill-ins at various city banks, some meetings with bank officials, and the fledgling UCWIC had-won its first victory. This ended a technically illegal practice which long had been a needless inconvenience for Vancouver’s welfare victims. UCWIC’s membership and influence grew. * * * Along with UCWIC’s confidence in public confrontations came an increasing ability of the organization‘s most militant members to deal with the-social worker bureaucracy. Ignorant, uncaring social workers-to whom poverty is simply a nine-to-five distasteful proposition they are obliged to deal with, and

to whom the poor are sub-humans who deserve litth or no respect-suddenly found themselves faced with angry, articulate UCWIC members defending defraud. ed -clien ts. UCWIC’s Voice of ihe Unemployed newspaper ha-5 continued to list these dozens of small-scale confrontations : “A sister needed extra food near the end of the month, barticularly since she had a new mouth to feed. Her so. cial worker couldn’t understand That empfy stomach3 (particularly new babies’) cannot wait till next month’s cheqlie. So she and an UCWIC sister made a visit to the administiation. Result-power through organisation--d $ IO food voucher. ”

UCWIC m%mbers say this is the life of the poor-an endless round of petty bureaucratic hassles, But where Social Welfare’s arbitrary proclamations used to be the last word, the militant Council members now speak up. The Voice 0-f the Unemployed continues to show currently-prosperous people something bf the human condition of being on welfare-what the poor think and feel: “People on welfare want jobs-meaningful jobs, not degrading jobs. We want work to do, work that has real social value, not meaningless jobs that don’t even provide a reasonable measure of security for us and our* families. We need work which our children will admire, not jobs which our children will be taught tc despise us for in schools which we have built with our hands and paid for with our taxes. “We need work thit *wi;l conserve the good things of this world, not pollute and exterminate them-in short, work that supports and does not destroy life.” But, meanwhile there is no work, of any kind. As UCWIC enters its second year of activity, there are 60,000 British Columbians on welfare. Last year about 30,000 welfare recipients squeaked off the rolls, but another 40,000 fell below the subsistence level and into the humiliating welfare whirlpool. ’ To say the least, UCWIC has its work cut out. And they’re getting little help from the people who control the public pursestrings : the city of Vancouver and Wacky Bennett’s minister of welfare Flying Phil Gagliardi. Gagliardi, BCers will recall, was bounced as minister of highways a few years back after his wife bor-

Communists and, socialists , would obvi?usly be relcome in Malawi.” anda’s anti-communism and anti-socialism was of the causes of his breach with the Malawi congj party militants. They were quite aware of their ntry’s shortage of development capital. Then the People’s Republic of China offered Mala loan of $50.4 million-interest free-Banda re-ed the offer, alleging that it was a bribe to secure omatic recognition. The congress militants urged eptance of this generous aid. They wanted to ak away-from Malawi’s absolute dependence on tain. ritish aid has come to over $112 million since inendence. In addition, Britain is also Malawi’s icipal trade market, taking nearly- 65% of Mal‘s exports.

Al&e Banda-Mal‘S then minister of trade and industry and now min-

ister of finance-on a visit to South Africa in 1968 boldly suggested that south african indsutrialists could reach markets throughout Africa if they set up factories in Malawi. Goods marked “made in Malawi” could be sold to countries which placed a formal ban on trade with South Africa. Rhodesia and Malawi have reached a trade agreement providing -free entry for Rhodesian products in Malawi. There have also been hints of closer military cooperation: South Africa has a military attache stationed in Malawi. Banda has also defended Portugal’s record in Africa. It is expected that construction of the Nova Freixo railway in Mozambique will be completed next year, in time for Banda to open the line during his state visit to Mozambique. President Triranana of Malagasy has also visited ‘Malawi twice to use it as a channel for contact with South Afria. Because of the unofficial military agreement between Malawi and the white south for the defense of southern Africia against the “communist menace,” Banda had dared to make arrogant and preposterous territorial claims against neighboring Zambia and Tanzania. Since implementation of these demands would involve the extension of the Malawi border by over 100 miles into Tanzania and incorporation of big slices rejected by of _ Zambia, they we:e understandably Banda’s neighbors. * * * Malawi has built for itself the reputation of “defender” of the white south. Malawi supports and trades with Rhodesia and South Africa. It condemns and opposes the liberation movements and it is on record that Banda has put various freedom fighters in jail and sent many back to south african and rhodesian jails.. Banda justifies his policies on the grounds that he has no real alternative. This is not so. Unlike Lesotho or Botswana, Malawi does have some scope for orienting its economy away from the white south towards the countries to the north. He instead has relegated a country once proud of its independence, to the role of a bridgehead for apartheid in black Africa. --

As far as pop festivals go, Festival express ‘70 was a dud. I mean absolutely second-rate. The talent displayed over the two days could easily have been crammed into one. Sure so the Grateful dead were there. And so was The band and Janis Joplin, and one or two other headliners. But one has come to expect a lot more at pop festivals, especially ones ‘with as much advance publicity as the express. So much for the minor details; let’s talk about the really important aspect of the event-money. Lots of money; after all pop festivals are big business. Money-like a quarter of a million bucks. That’s how much the express was expected to make in Toronto. And they are doing it again this weekend in Winnipeg and again next weekend in CalgaryThat all adds up to a big bundle of bread, man, and don’t you know who’s paying for it. That’s right, us. We, the youth of Canada and the States and a few other places as well. Oh yes, you say, but it costs-a lot to put on something as big asa pop festival; you have to pay the performers and the cops and rent a stadium and all that takes money, so if you really want to see and ’

hear your favorite group5 you have to expect to pay a lot of money. *Bullshit. BULLSHIT! . Like for instance, the promoters of the rip-off express (and that’s what it was and is, a great huge motherfucking rip-off) expected to realize a profit of 25 percent on their investment. Twentyfive percent! There ain’t no capitalist pig on earth that figures to make a profit of twenty-five percent, no matter what he’s selling. Except rock promoters. So if you figure that a “respectable” profit to make might be more like 3-5 percent, that makes the cost to us about $3-4 cheaper (-tickets for the rip-off express were 14-16 dollars for two days ). It’s still a big motherfucking rip-off.

THE FOLLOWING editorial appeared a short while ago in the Toronto Globe & Ma,il. Juxtaposed with it is an arti& written by american oolitical Yippie, Abbie Hoffman, recently convicted in the infamous Chicago conspiracy ‘trial. How long, we may wonder, will it be before the milque-toasts in the Globe & Mail Colonial Office realize the futility Df the drivel they have been writing and the irrelevance of the nonsense to which they attach moral importance.

A pledge to what? Royalists should not be seriously-exercised by the refusal of elected members, of the Parti Quebecois to swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen as a prelude to assuming their seats in the Quebec National Assembly. The role of the Queen is never more symbolic than in an oath. There the throne signifies the peak of the Canadian pyramid, the embodimeht of the Canadian people, toward which citizens look when they swear to serve that people well. The PQ members do not believe that the Queen should represent the people’s . domain in Canada, so they say that they Will not swear by her; and Premier Robert Bourassa is looking for a means member: Canadian university press (CUP) and underground press syndicate er: liberation news service (LNS) and chevron international news service (GINS): two times a Year (1970-71) on tuesdays and fridays by the publications board of students, incorporated, university of Waterloo.

Not much happening this week, what with holidays and all screwing up people’s good routine work habits, but here’s a real scoop anyway: when Bob Maudie was introduced to Burt Matthews, Matthews said “You’ll be hearing from my wife. . .I’ And how about Mrs. J. Leo Whitney, wife of one of our board of governors, who told the party-makers and picnickers who went to Westgate Walk on july 1 that all’she had to do’would be to talk to Matthews to see that something was done. Now we know where the real power lies. Is she secretly a member of the Women’s Liberation Front?

WICE, IN A brand new anarchist island, really, really cold in summer and as close as hard boiled eggs to where we are right now, Andrew Arthur Andrew (AAA, but trying to be anonym.ousI selectively pressed his fellows into the service of his table, his floor and even his wife, a handsome lady in need of a change. (A fellow, here-in, is defined as that which presents itself in your moment, but who, because of obvious hidden differences, cannot really hold your respect.) Andrew Arthur Andrew (Ph.o. NE. y-Granny Goose U.---oooooohhhh, eee) is the leader of the anarchists. He was at Chicago. He visited in Berkley. He lived in Harlem. He marched in Alabama. -He ate cake in front of the war memorial in Pioria. He owns the island. Two days, while Arthur was storm’trouping hjs garden, the left tenet complained bitterly abou.t the lack of cold. Arthur hurried to a stop and sat in ‘dis’ gusty area where the wind has once or thrice caused construction. “Look, pleasant,” he mongruled, “do you mean...” “I am his majesty’s good service, and I mean nothing.” Was the reply (curt)? “I am his servant’s good magically, and I’ll tolerate no heresy or I’ll turn you, then eat you.” I Which was how the rumor started that Arthur had a bird. But, our story has a happy middle, which is where we are just now, so prepare yourself for a let-up in the tension, a relief from anxiety, a relaxing moment. Headache, edgy, on pins and needles? Try to remember a time in September when you were a sparrow and the bird house was narrow. Love is the answer. What was the question. So the next time someone asks you, “What?“, say, “Love” and if they answer, “1 5 or 20”, you’ve got a game, providing you want to play. Now, back to our tale. “l-have but one country to give for my life.” “Not enough!” “I’ll throw in the title to my freedom. I’ll donate a cache of arms.” “As an appendage?” “No. . as the reach necessary to win the lady of your choice by touch.” “You’re getting serious.” “I didn’t mean . .” _ “Intent doesn’t matter in life! I haven’t got time to know YOU.” “You’re getting serious too.” “I’m above you. I’m allowed to point out your mistakes and correct YOU.” “Heffer dust!” “REBELLION . Guards, come and take this man away.” Enter guards, stage right. Three surround Arthur, and five remove the left tenet. Power to no one!
