Burt throws the incoming Only about 160 of the 850 fulland part-time faculty attended the faculty association meeting last monday night in the food services building to welcome the new faculty at U. of W. Drinking, chatting, and messages from three speakers comprised the program. Burt Matthews, himself a newcomer to the campus, gave -a “hi-how-arya” to the new faculty, numbering 98, and, as one of the newly-hired himself, greeted the According to his university. speech, 50 percent of the new faculty are Canadians and 20 percent Americans. In describing the university operation, he shot out some impressive figures like that the physical plant on the campus costs 100 million dollars, and the operating budget of the university is 44 million dollars annually.

Evelyn Reed, anthropologist and authoress speaks to women’s liberation group last morldaJ night in the biology building. She stressed that women’s liberation is hman liberatioj7.

-tit CUSO

The Canadian university service overseas held their organization meeting on tuesday at 2 pm. Precisely at 2 the only attendant party was the chevron reporter. He had a nice private interview with Jamie Brooks, the local organizer. CUSO provides an opportunity for qualified students to fill positions in underdeveloped nations that cannot be filled with indigents. For two years CUSO volunteers fill some professional niche, and live very much as native professionals do. About 60 percent of the volunteers go into teaching, most

of the remainder enter medicine or engineering. Applicants are reviewed by local autonomous committees composed mainly of return volunteers. At the present time there are approximately 1000 volunteers overseas, 32 from U of W. Most are in mid-Africa, the rest are scattered throughout the third world. CUSO was organized in 1961. In 1962 it obtained governmental assistance. Now, the government provides 80 percent of the CUSO budget, the rest is covered by private donations.

WomenIs

liberation

In the few short years that the new movement to end female oppression has been in effect, many significant changes have been initiated in our social structure. More obvious every day is the fact that women’s liberation is not merely an intellectual game restricted to frustrated, emotional, embittered minorities of educated women. Support for the women’s liberation front is beginning to come from women in every walk of life; from the bored, frustrated middle class housewife to the female members of the working class. More women are coming to realize that the inferior role they play in the social network is directly responsible for the day to day financial, social, and emotional problems. Women are beginning to exert themselves in attempting to bring about reform

organization CUSO does not’have a clear political policy. The question of the morality of working in Nigeria, Biafra, or in a militarist south american nation is answered by the individual volunteer. The usefulness’ of a few CUSO ,workers in a large nation is dubious. Often the greatest benefit of CUSO is the education of the volunteer. -The return grads tend to be nasty outspoken critics of the Canadian neo-colonialist foreign policy. Jamie Brooks pointed out that most of Canadian foreign aid has strings attached.

In speaking to the new faculty, Matthews made reference to the act of the university, released last week, stating that he was enthusiastic about the proposed single governing body for the university. However, he said, he didn’t want to have the act passed“‘unti1 I am assured that all significant groups in the university are in agreement with the act as drafted. I am prepared to see the discussion go on for the next year or two, or even three or four, until agreement can be reached. ” Secondly, Matthews spoke of the very poor communication of vital information throughout the university. Quoting Eric -4shby, he said, “All over the country, these troups of scholars who would not make a decision about the shape of a leaf, or the derivation of a word, or the author of a manuscript without painstakingly assembling the evidence, make de-

looks to more humane

in the areas which pertain directly to their lives, and in so doing are furthering the cause of social change. In the direct sense of the word, the liberation they are fighting for is that of women but, on a wider scale, they are furthering the cause in human liberation from a system which exploits and oppresses the majority of people. The fight is still in its, initial stages, and, as the opposition is more than willing to point out, many women have yet to be convinced of its urgency, but there is significant evidence that progress is being made. In Canada as well as in the US, various women’s groups are fighting to have sex recognized as a tenet for the reform of the respective labour standards acts; women have been lobbying constantly for more and more liberal abortion laws, in New York laws have become liberalized almost to the point of ‘abortion on demand’. This is a -direct result of the efforts of adherents to the cause of female emancipation. Closer to home, more women of the, com,munity at large are becoming involved in women’s liberation groups.

Here in Kitchener-Waterloo a new community organization called the K-W women’s caucus, is being formulated. Such evidence of support for the movement is an indication that it is not, as so many critics have expostulated, an irrelevant, radical venture on the part of a small -number of penis-envious, castra tion-lus ting she-men. Over the past two years an ever increasing- number of specialists in such areas of human study as sociology, anthropology, political science and economics have taken it upon themselves to share their understanding of female oppression with other, less informed members of the society as a whole-more specifically its female sector. Such a woman, who dedicates much of her time and talent to the furthering of the cause of human liberation is the anthropoligist and authoress, Evelyn Reed. Eorking on, the premise that women’s oppression varies directly with the increase of a capitalist foundation for social organization, Miss Reed writes extensiyely 011 both subjects. At a lecture

party for faculty cisions about admissions policy, size of classes, staff-student ratio, content of courses and similar issues on devious assumptions, scrappy data and mere hunch”. He went on to pose, “How does one allocate a 40,000,OOO dollar operating budget without basic information concerning the operating costs and activities of the Gar ious administrative units?” Matthews reassured that things will be different in the future. His final concern was with academic programs. He said that a common cliche is that many courses offered at university are irrelevant; Speaking to the faculty, he said, “You and I know that most courses aren’t irrelevantthey just look like it. And that is reason enough for us as faculty to be deeply concerned.. .I do not advocate change or innovation for its own sake. But neither should we act as though we had cement boots. ” He closed by saying that he intended as president to ensure that everyone in the university community have the opportunity to contribute his wisdom and judgment. In reference to Matthews, Roman Dubinski, the president of the faculty association, an english literature enthusiast, suggested that often the line is applied to in-coming university presidents, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” He hastened to add that he didn’t consider Matthews as one of those fools. Rather, he saw Matthews as more resembling St. George coming in to rescue a fair. maiden from the fiery dragon. There was no specific suggestion as to whom the dragon represented.

society

in the biology building last monday, she discussed the problem of “how women lost control of their destiny and how they can regain it”. In tracing the origins of woman’s role in western society Miss Reed drew an impressive corelation between the development of female social inferiority and the refinement of capitalism. The basic questions she set out to answer were : l what kind of society needs a nuclear family arrangement? l how are human rights thwarted by the monogamistic marraige institution? l what are the prospects of the present family unit? In analysing the family structure and its basis Miss Reed pointed out that legal marriage was originally merely a matter of economic expedience for the roman patriarchs. In order to have a legal heir and hence keep various material possessions forever associated with one’s see Humane society page 3

CUl7CdU sells out its fkurces OTTAWA (CUP) - Four pipeline companies, wholly-owned, controlled or with some large shareholders in the U.S., will sell 6.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to gas companies in the U.S. with licenses granted by the Trudeau government. The deal, announced in Ottawa tuesday night (Sept. 29) five days before parliament is scheduled to resume sittings, is worth two billion dollars according to Joe Greene, energy and _ resources minister. Announcement of the sale came only a few hours after Washington warned that U.S. energy resources have hit a potentially disastrous low. The four companies granted export licenses are transcanda pipeline, west coast transmission, alberta and southern and canadianmon tana. The deal was immediately attacked by new democratic party spokesmen, both at the party level and from the waffle group. NDP leader T.C. Douglas said the deal would mean continued unemployment and “inflation as it will stand in the way of development of secondary and teritiary industry in Canada. Greene says the deal will mean, as well as the 2 billion dollars income for the four american-controlled companies, about 200 million dollars of pipeline construction in Canada and 13,000 manhours of work. The corporate ownership of the companies involved is difficult to quickly trace, but the list of Canadian directors include many of Canada’s wealthiest people. 1% Sinclair, a director of Transcanada Pipelines, is president and chief executive officer of Canadian Pacific Railwgy. chairman of CP Airlines, president of Midland, Simcoe Elevator company, vicepresident of CP Investment and CP Oil and Gas ltd., and a director of, among other companies: CP Express, Pacific Logging, CP Securities, Royal Bank of Canada, Sun Life Assurance co., Union Carbide of Canada, Great Lakes Power co. ltd., Canadian Macconi and Bow River Pipelines. .+ Carl Nickle, a director of Alberta and Southern Gas co., is president .of the Daily Oil Bulletin and Canadian Oil Register, ’ vice-president of Canadian Great Oil, Scenic Oils and Anjou Wines, and a director of: Pacific Gas Transmission co., Alberta Natural Gas co., producers pipeline co. ltd., Royal General Insurance company of Canada, and Huron and Erie Mortgage. As well, he is president of the Independent Petroleum society of Canada. Frank McMahon, who is chairman of West Coast Transmission is a director of: royal bank of Canada, Canadian liquid air, executive fund of Canada, executive- international investors ltd., jockey club ltd.. pacific petroleums. ocean cement and supplies, natural resources growth fund ItI., and weldwood ltd. The government announcement dealt with the granting of export licenses to the four companies,. The companies and a bit of their background are: @West Coast Transmission was granted a request to ship 3.3 trillion cubic feet over a 18 years. (The company is 26.1 per cent owned by Pacific Petroleum, which is 44.8 per cent owned by Phillips Petroleum ( U.S. ) , another 13.7 per cent of the company is owned by West Coast Investments ltd., a U.S. holding company. (The announcement did not say to whom West Coast would sell the gas. ) l Trans Canada Pipelines ltd. of Toronto was granted three licenses’ for sales of 1.8 trillion cubic feet over 20 years. . ^ *’

(Transcaiiada is 14 per cent owned by Canadian Pacific Investments, 34 per cent owned by Gulf Oil Corporation through its Canadian subsidiary Gulf Oil of Canada ltd., 17 per cent owned by Home Oil of Calgary, which is in turn controlled by Cygnus Corp. of Calgary. Cygnus, it turns out is owned by Coastal Oil ltd., which according to the Financial Post, is a subsidiary of Home Oil. Coastal holds controlling class B voting shares in Cygnus as well as class A and class B shares in Home Oil. Robert Brown jr., a director of Trans Canada is president and managing director of Home Oil. )

name it was necessary to institute a system which would ensure the perpetuation of a family name. Marriage was established in order for the upper classes to possess a child:bearer. With the advent of Christianity what had previously been a ‘ ‘class institution became a “mass institution”. As western society evolved as a monetarily based structure, it became essential to have an effective manner of production and training of laborers and consumers. The nuclear family took this burden from the shoulders of the manipulators of the social order. The responsibility was placed in the hands of the exploited members of the society. As miss Reed made clear, such emotional and mental needs as love did not become motivations for marital connection until the institution was well established as a social tenet. It is interesting to note here that she associates the introduction of love as a motivation for with monogamig’s marriage inauguration as a mandatory mass institution. She credits the addition of this emotional consideration to the lower classes. as the basic Unfortunately, function of marriage is a financial one the more humane aspects of such a relationship tend to lose their validity and, hence, tend to be marriages many emotionally unfullfilling.. . .. Miss Reed dealt with this problem in her answer to the second question, concerning the effects of such an institution on human rights. Both men and women are forced, by the family unit, into restrictive roles. Men have been conditioned to believe that providing for the women and children of our society is their natural responsibility. Along with this burden goes reinforcement of the positive social prestige and superiority based on sex. The female

myth

Women, on. the other hand, are fed the myth that child-bearand man-serving, child-caring ing is a God-given privilege. Along with this great honor goes the drudge of being, as Sirnone. de Beauvoir puts it, “chained to the species”, (The second sex) imprisoned in a house with her children, reduced to an ununinf armed, unpaid thinking, non-worker. The housewife is exploited for the purpose of perpetuating the society by providing babies for the iabor market as well as providing well-fed, sexually satisfied men who are in turn exploited as workers. Unfortunately ‘

for the rulers, unhappy, emotionally disatisfied people make terrible workers and as the people are becoming more aware of the real source of their discontent their unhappiness is becoming directed elsewhere than towards one another. As clearly indicated in the nature of various books and pamphlets written by the women of this century’s female emancipation movement the object of the struggle has changed radically in the past one hundred years. Evelyn Reed clarified this in a brief analysis of the difference between . the suffragets of the nineteenth century and today’s liberationists. Whereas our predecessors fought only for such social gains as the vote and certain property rights we are beginning to challenge the very foundations of the nuclear family and its co-existent, the capitalist regime. Miss Reed demonstrates this new, more to the point approach with this quote from one american women’s liberation publication, “Women are asking for no less than the total transformation of the world’ ’ . As more women move out of the home into the labor and professional world their awareness of the situation increases, their willingness to accept a secondary position decreases and their impact on the social order becomes more pronounced. The family.

structure

“The family structure is one of the most effective mechanism for human oppression in this society. For this reason, Miss Reed and many other liberationists see it as one institution which’must be totally restructured in order that the non-egalitarian nature of our system can be erradicated. The political and economic roots of intersexual ties must be replaced with more human ones. Evelyn Reed quoted one woman as saying that, “people should be tied together by love, not legal contraptions. ” Our lives must begin to be conducted on a more valid platform than one of consumption and “conspicuous ruthless competition”. Expanding on the necessity to remove the dehumanizing effects of the present day family structure, Miss Reed emphatically stated that our children must be loved rather than owned. As for the prospects of traditional monogamy Miss Reed says that once the- victims of an outdated family arrangement realize that they are not each other’s enemies, the struggle will no longer be husband vs wife, mother vs son, daughter vs father and family vs family. It will be people vs oppressor. The pros,

feet over 15 years. (Canadian Montana is 99.7 per cent owned by the Montana Power carp, who will be the receiver of the 56 billion cubic feet.) . The New York Times says in its news columns announcing the deal : “The decision would seem to hold out hope, however, that the present Canadian government headed by prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau, is disposed to give the united states access to a substantial portion of Canada’s vast natural gas reserves if suitable terms can be arranged.” “The

says the Trudeau government believes that because of the deal and new regulations regarding natural gas export prices, that if there is a significant increase in the price of gas on the Amberican market, or a significant increase in the price of competitive sources of energy, the price of Canadian gas can be expected to move upwards. Carl Nickle, who is a Alberta and Southern director, said last wednesday that the relaxation of natural gas restrictions will mean an increase in Canadian oil exports of more than 40,000 barrels a day beginning act. 1

aim of womenF’ pects of the old-style family are not good. It seems to be a sad reality in many contemporary movements for social change that although the problems are clearly understood, no one can pose any viable alternatives to the faulty situation. Miss Evelyn Reed is one promising exception to this unfortunate inclination. The last portion of her lecture was devoted to suggesting positive action towards solving the problems which she outlined. First women must come to realize the more disguised, underlying aspects of their social inferiority. We must all come to understand that the conflict is an economic one between the satisfaction of ruling class desires and the satisfaction of the human needs of the people. In quoting Engels she demonstrates that, in the existing social organization “everything is sacrificed to private property.” We must all become more aware of the humanly destructive of such a sacrifice. In addition to this, women must win allies. The struggle for Women’s liberation has much in common with such movements as

’

those of the american black, the laborer and the student. These groups must begin to work in close unity towards a commonly beneficial end. Also, if I may elaborate on this idea, women must convince more men that they too are pressed by the blantant sexual discrimination prevelant in the society we live in. A woman’s

purpose

One of Miss Reed’s main purposes to impress on her audience the basic right of woman to control her own life, and the urgency for women to start to exert that right. She also repeatedly drew parallels to demonstrate the unavoidable connection between this urgency and that of people as a whole, coming together to control their own destiny rather than continue to have it manipulated by the priviledged patricians of our era. In connection with this, Miss Evelyn Reed ended her lecture with a paraphrase of the words of Karl Marx, “We have nothing to lose but our chains, we have a world to gain. ”

A recent visit to a fast-developing school in Waterloo opened the writer’s eyes to many opportunities for social service, experience, and education. Here is an invitation to any individual or organization on the campus to think seriously about helping out in the nursery program at Parkminster Church Nursery. There are already several students from U of W who are working with the children, but more are needed. Male assistance is especially desirable. There are openings for graduates in clinical psychology to work with individual children and for undergrads from any field. As one wanders from room to room of the school, one sees many children having an afternoon nap after a morning’s activities, others in a circle reading a book together, more playing in a gym, and another group learning to play together without clobbering each other over the head.

OTTAWA (CUPI) - Canada is ready to sell more oil and gas to the United States providing appropriate guarantees are made concerning Canada’s “national” interests.. This assurance was given in a speech written by energy minister J.J. Green, but delivered by his secretary liberal Bud, Orange (NWT), to the pacific coast gas association in Portland, Oregon. The speech was much more accomodating than one Greene gave to american oil barons in Denver four months ago. At that time Green said, “the Canadian people will not tolerate decisions affecting Canadian security being made at the insistence of non Canadians even to win the prize of larger oil markets. ” Greene acted as a spokesman for Canadian nationalism in Denver, but now, as the United States increasingly feels pressure on its limited energy resources, he wants to allay american fears that Canadians might shut off the rich energy flow south. Having assured the United States of oil and gas exportsation, Greene hinted that Canada will

Stanley Mullins. When the gdvernors executive committee refused to accept Mullin’s resignation, the senate extended its censure to the executive committee. After a sit-in by the students and cancellation of final exams by the senate, the executive committee capitulated and replaced Mullins. As the current school year started, faculty members and the executive committee were embroiled in a dispute over salaries and the faculty set September 21 as a strike date. To head ‘off the strike, the senate passed another censure of the executive committee september 20. But the board of governors met September 25 and reaffirmed its confidence in its executive committee.

William Jones, president of the national oil council, was at the same time telling a senate hearing in Washington that the flow of Canadian crude oil should be increased to help overcome the looming winter fuel shortage. Mayor John Lindsay of New York speaking about the recent two day electrical power blownout, said that city may have to ration natural gas and fuel oil this winter. New York governor Nelson Rockefeller also warned that US restrictions on the importation of Canadian crude oil could lead to power disruptions on the US east coast this winter. Though growing Canadian nationalism may be a real phenomenom, Joe Green having paid lip service to it once, has little intention of letting it interfere with exporting Canada’s national resources.

Noise pollution will become an increasingly large problem in urban areas unless measures are taken now to curtail the intensifying noise levels and to prevent possible damaging effects. This means, for example, that laws should be introduced to prevent human ears from being exposed to physiologically har m f u1 sounds. In the case of factories, legislation should be enacted to prevent workers from being exposed to loud sounds without ear protection. Presently, , the government of Ontario has relatively weak laws, although it does follow the general patterns of the United States, where no levels over 95 db (A) are permitted for more thn 4 hours at a time and levels of over 90 db (A) are not permitted in locations where men work 8 hours (an average factory has a level of about 80 db). But how adequate are these levels? The national research council found over S-year period that it is possible that noise levels about 60 db. over a susr tained period of time can cause organic damage to ears. Unions can play an important role as well. “Environmental clauses” have been inserted in contracts to protect the worker’s welfare by preventing the employer from exposing him to dangerous levels of pollution within the factory. These clauses should include noise pollution.

Quebec

Charles Gagnon of the front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ) told the students there can be no true political independence for Quebec until it is freed from the shakles of monopoly capitalism. Gagnon was debating Claude Charron, 23-year-old Parti-Que_ becois member of the Quebec legislature. Charron maintained that the social revolution in Quebet can come only after the province’s electoral majority has voted for separatism. But Gagnon said the electoral system in Quebec is merely a tool for placing power in the hands of a small elite at the expense of the people. “The fraud,” of the troy the

What about the problem of industries (or any other source for that matter) producing noise which disturbs neighbouring residential zones? So far, cities have done very little through their bylaws; the onus is on the person affected to prove deliberate intent to disturb. The only way to solve this is to set standards: if a set “acceptable level” at the property line is exceeded by a then the person given source, responsible should be liable to be fined. The city of Waterloo is presently considering such laws, which are long overdue. If the model of the city of Ottawa’s bylaw No. 45-70 is followed (Ottawa is one of the few cities with a comprehensive set of noise abatement by-laws) ; then air conditioners, for example, must not produce a noise level of 55 db (48 db. at night) or more at the property line. The law is enforced by 1. noise meters owned by the city and 2. a 300 dollar fine which can be levied. The biggest problem, though, is traffic noise. The proposed Waterloo by-laws are apparently not even considering this, and Kitchener has no specific laws at all. The only effective way to limit noise is to measure noise while the cars are running, just as, say, a speed trap would be set up. There are slight problems - it supposedly is more difficult to pinpoint the exact level a given vehicle is producingbut this has by no means stopped the city of Ottawa.

VANCOUVER (CUP) - The difference between revolutionary Quebec socialism and the separatist Parti Quebecois came into sharp focus for 500 University of British Columbia students on September 22.

Gagnon attacked the PQ for - its sympathy towards american capitalists whom they say could help Quebec gain its independence. “You either choose to work or you with the bourgeoisie choose to work with the working class. ” “You can’t negotiate with american corporations,” Gagnon said. “They go where they want and do what they want.” Charron accused Gagnon of attempting to make a revolution without having any idea of what would come afterwards. He said the Quebec liberation movement passed the point of no return with the april 29 provincial elec-

noise pollution Besides, the times at, which enforcement is more criticalat night - are also times in which there is less traffic and hence a single offender is easier to pinpoint. The use of horns in addition would be limited to emergencies. All vehicles would have maximum permissible noi se levels. If, for example, a motorcycle produced more than 88 db (A) (perhaps only 83 db (A) at night). then a better muffler would ‘have to be installed or the driver would face a fine. This also means drivers must practice restraint (generally) in accelersting to prevent screaching of tires. Tractor trailers would have to have noise levels reduced to a tolerable level or be forced off the road. The City of Ottawa is one of the few cities with bylaws covering traffic levels. The laws were made inconjunction with the National Research Council and should be used as a model for laws in all municipalities. The real problem in noise, like other forms of pollutio, is that of a rational approach towards the problem - especially on behalf of legislators. Noise is one of the prices we have to pay for an expanding population and the consequent crowding of more people into a given urban area. Until population growth can be limited, the basic problem remains. However, through comprehensive laws especially on the municipal level - the problem can be solved.

However he added, Quebec independence can only be achieved through a hard struggle. Gagnon agreed with Charron about this point. Quebec society is like any other colonial society, he said.

Their search centered, later in the summer, on what appeared to be a real possibility; acquiring the old Bridgeport golf club building for a youth hostel. The club house was to be demolished in the fall and was not being used. The property belonged to Kit’chener but was located in Bridgeport. Financing and manpower was arranged, the permission of Kitchener city council obtained, but

the plans fell through because Bridgeport council didn’t want other people’s “problem youth” in their town. A temporary youth hostel was set up near the end of the summer at the fat angel drop-in center, but the hostel proved to interfere with the other activities of the center and this had to be abandoned after a month. . Some of those involved in this last summer’s organizing, calling themselves experiment 70 after the rock festival they put on in Waterloo park, are beginning now to explore the possibility of a youth hostel ext summer.

“There is no last chance for a people engaged in struggle,” Gagnon said. “They go on fighting. We know very well there is going to be trouble in Quebec. No colonized people ever freed themselves without a struggle. We know we are going to be engaged in a long struggle.”

In an obvious response to all those people that want to know what the real Spiro T. Agnew is like, the vicepresident made one of his rare television appear-i antes last friday. He consented to meet some of his student critics for an hour and a half debate on the David Frost show. He was really cool, man, absolutely beautiful; I wish I’had a color tv he was so beautiful. I mean, here he was, sitting right next to four (dig the odds ) of those far-out, rhetoric-spouting, down-right nogood commie agitating students and somehow, though it must have taken all the restraint he was able to muster, he managed to remain polite, smooth, and at all times a perfect gentleman. Good old Spiggy, if anybody can scare off those commie perverts, he can. And the nerve of those so-called students, suggesting that poor little Spiggy was doing more to divide the country with his speeches than to unite it. Well he told them. Why else would he be on tv with them if not to try and bring the country together. So what if it’s an election year-mr Frost is a busy man with a tight schedule and you have to take these things as they come. Ah those dirty nasty communists, going around telling the youth of this fair nation that the CIA would ever have anything to do with the overthrow of any government. Pshaw! And just where do all those radic-libs get off dissenting. Why if they lived in one of them red countires they wouldn’t even be allowed to dissent, why they’d be tossed right into jail in a minute. Come to think of it.. . * * * Yes, come to think of it, how could Spiro lose in such a contest? His so-called opponents were handpicked for him (admittedly from students suggested by various college newspaper editors, a group which differs little however from the board of directors at GM).

His introduction by Frost was as flowery as any eulogy. And almost as relevant. And with Spiro’s remarkable ability to evade discussion on just about any issue, the stage was set for one of the best pieces of propaganda seen in these parts in a long time. In addition to his revelation about the CIA, Spiro also affirmed his and the Nixon administration’s belief in the domino theory in Southeast Asia. And in one of the fastest historical rewrites since Joseph Stalin, he told an awaiting public how the americans were actually provoked into going into Vietnam. The image Spiro presented on television is one that is vastly different from the image one gets from reading about him in the press. His speeches were decidely low-key, containing none of the big words which have made him so popular with his fans. He was very calm, cool and collected beside his more impatient adversaries. But despite the image, he was still saying the same old things. That if the administration’s critics would only shut up for a while everything would be fine. That the administration’s critics deserve everything he gives them. That it’s a small minority of rabble-rousers who are making life SO miserable for everyone else. That he is not engaged in a name-calling campaign designed to discredit people that disagree with him. Of course the real problem is that so many people do agree with him. Which is not saying much for their powers of logic and reasoning. Another disturbing aspect is that the program was an hour and a half long, but due to programming difficulties, channel eleven, which aired the show in this area, could only put on one hour of it. Which makes you wonder why the parts we didn’t see were edited out. Oh well, there’s comfort in the knowledge that sixty minutes of Spiro T. Agnew is better than ninety.

people “holding his hands high that they might see the marks of his crucifixion and marvel at his resurrection. ” The only slight flaw seemed to be the switch from LBJ the Creator in the first major episode to LBJ the Pharoah in subsequent scenes, but generally the writing is very tight and in the best tradition of double-entendre. The tale speaks of George Wallace: “ . ..look. a White Tornado hath come to cleanse the land.” It speaks of Nixon: “...for he was a low-potential, high achiever and he tried harder that he might be number one.” And of Eisenhower: “...kings are not always wise: sometimes they are just there. ” Robert Kennedy: “. ..he slew the Hoffite, king of the charioteers.” Perhaps one of the best lines deals with the republicans’ reasons for choosing Nixon over Ronald Reagan in the last presidential election. Discussing Reagan, the script goes “. . .and Ronald; he of the late, late show, for he, was not the hero, but the hero’s best friend. ” Chronically right up to pharoah Nixon’s reign, describing Nixon wandering in Washington from the desserts of dissent to the mountains of moratorium, the record ends with Nixon’s imploring his people (“even unto the suburbs”) to support him for the next battle lest the Democrats once again try to replace him in the tents of power; and concludes with a sombre editorial note, “. . .wherefore, so I say unto thee, my breth’eren, let us pray.”

Nevertheless, Boyle has made this thing his own. For one thing, Boyle is trickier. He paints around corners and on parallel surfaces in such a way as to get a cinematic effect. The picture changes, people move, open and shut their mouths disconcertingly as the spectator moves about the work. Boyle has been hailed as a sort of Tom Thomson of the television age and it is true that his work is kindred to the Group of Seven’s spiritual father in its reduction of realistic elements to flat pattern and in the character of its color, heavy and strait from the tube. As Thomson incorporated in an original way the arabesques of art-nouveau, Boyle has used the high contrast photo images of our own time. But his paintings owe as much to Van Gogh, the film and the press. w 2 October

WOMAN’S

PLACE-CYNTHIA

Two incidents that happened to me while I was reading this book hit in a gut way what Cynthia Epstein is trying to get across with bland pedanticism. One was the despairing mood of a brilliant friend who’d just been told for the umpteenth time that she was too educated to get a shit-work job. (Is there anything more maddening than not being able to get what you down deep don’t even want?) As thousands of other women graduates are doing, she is crossing the city hunting for work, any work. Her university studies led to no offers of fellowships; these are limited by sex quotas. Professors, who are mostly male, use them to get successors and feel a woman won’t be committed enough to justify the investment. If my friend lived in a country which gave state supported training in such fields as medicine in Great Britain and most professions in the Soviet Union, she’d be guaranteed a job and spared the humiliation of job hunting. Instead, her reward, after doing excellently in her studies is being unable to land even a $1.80 hour “position” typing garbage statistics (as an; other friend midway through her Ph.D. is doing).

The other episode was asking a friend why she wouldn’t run for the board of my supposedly liberal Unitarian fellowship. “I was asked again this year by the nominating committee,” she said, “but I couldn’t face another rejection. This group won’t elect an outspoken woman. ” Woman’s Place is a dreary catalogue of such sad tales dressed up in statistics and academic jargon, and the book itself contributes to the self-fulfilling prophecy of women’s failure to enter professional groups cited so often. If women keep reading only about their expectations of failure, it limits their ambitious. Along with the tables of effects must go analysis of causes showing how sexism is institutionalized to protect male power. Sexisin, like racism, has such deep roots that to discuss it superficially is to mislead. For example, in discussing ways women can succeed, Mrs. Epstein says, “Women who are professional but not especially formal or aggressive, who try to be gracious as women and not deny their sex, are said to be able to make the best impression on men and gain acceptance. ” How much of this talk of playing the good niger is recording facts as they are and how much is designed to have an impact on a woman law student who reads it and adjusts her behavior accordingly?, “Problems arise only where women demand they be treated ‘just like men,’ causing colleagues discomfort. ” So the “gracious” women who had to be “formal and aggressive” to beat out men to get into law school, pass the courses and land a job, now quietly accepts going in the rear door at all-male luncheon clubs and working in the back room doing the research drudgery of the firm. She lets her colleagues light her cigarette while they get the cases that lead to promotion and partnership. Great bargain. Formal and aggressive means demanding your rights ; gracious and not denying your sex means swallowing your pride. Jobs are conveniently sex-typed to the advantage of males. For feminine, read low pay, low prestige, little

The blacks are encouraged to go into government work where the pay is lower or to handle family cases which take a severe emotional toll. Women doctors are encouraged to go into pediafrics (since the family is their “natural” sphere 1 even though the irregular hours make it more demanding if she has a family of her own. Surgery would be more logical in that sense-but no. surgery pays well, so it must remain a male field. It’s useless to rebut these facts, and citing them is not agreeing with them. Yet disguising everything behind “this is said to the be, etc.” doesn’t exonerate book from perpetuating the system it is describing. In fact, it’s a more insidious method of control than someone who is an outright sexist like Doctor Speck; he doesn’t bother with statistics but has the male mystique of authority plus an M.D. to buttress his stand. Nobody can easily refute Mrs. Epstein if all she is doing is a sociological survey where no advocacy is called for. Yet an absence of dissent means a presence of assent. Suppose you were a Martian surveying the rate of pay and unattractiveness of work in different jobs on this planet. You’d soon find the occupations which required the longest hours, the most tedious tasks, the least dignity and the hardest physical effort also received the least reward in money and status. This would be meaningless unless you also saw that this was a way for those who held power to keep it. The dull hard tasks required to maintain the society get done, and workers are given little of their labor value in return. In the same way one must analyze why women are relegated to such fields as nursing, office work and elementaryschool teaching. Men find these tasks dull compared to new ones that open up. They turn them into women’s jobs by saying the magic words, “it’s feminine, ” and the pay scale goes down. Why must the husband and wife always live in the same area? Why must the wife always move when her husband’s work is transferred and not vice versa? Why is housework and child care unpaid? Why does Mrs. Epstein find it necessary to note twice that professional women have a higher divorse rate than professional men without noting they have a lower divorce rate compared to women with no profession? And why doesn’t she balance the descriptions of the problem-filled lives of professional women with the misery of women who live , wall-to- wall lives filled with --_ housewifery? And why doesn’t she mention that in a study of four groupssingle men, single women, married men, married women-the group with least neurosis were the single women who had learned to adapt to life’s demands, since they had to support themselves, while the most neurotic were the married women who were able to conceal severe problems behind the privacy of a marriage facade? And why doesn’t someone write a book on how men neglect their children in order to succeed in their professions and how their wives have to play mother and father to take care of their absence? And why. . .?

A puzzled Sigmund Freud once inquired : “Dear God, what does * woman want?” The thirteen part series, Women Now!, which will appear, on CBLT channel 6 at 2: 30 pm on wednesdays, is an attempt to provide an answer to the psychoanalyst’s question. The series, part of the CBC’s half-hour Life Style, is the idea of two freelance producers, Deanna White and Maxine Nunes. Mrs. White says she hopes the program will provide an antidote to the kind -of superficial treatment the subject often receives on tv: “On a newscast they show part of some women’s lib demonstration, go up to the most unattractive woman there and say: “Tell us in five minutes what you people want.’ You can’t tell it in five minutes-it’s taken 3,000 years to get this far.” The 13 programs will carry viewers from the beginnings of the suffragette movement to the present day and all points of view, including those of anti-feminists, will be heard. In the opening instalment, for example, actors will read comments by such observers of the

female sex as St. Paul, who urged women to “learn in silence with all subjection, ” and former Indonesian President Sukarno. who believed “women after 30 are useless. ” Other programs will feature: @Peter Gzowski interviewing Gloria Steinem, one of the brainiest and best-looking of woman’s liberationists. l A confrontation in which writer Kate Millett inquires into the sexual politics of -poet Irving Layton . l Interviews with veterans of early suffragette movements, ineluding Mary Norton, a B.C. woman in her 80s who is today an active member of a women’s liberation group. Other old-time feminists are seen expressing strong reservations about today’s fighters for women’s rights. @A film of a “consciousnessraising session” held by a women’s liberation group. . aMale reactions to the idea of women’s liberation. oThe female backlash, including Portrayals of such groups as mom-men our masters. aA segment on early socialization of boys and girls, including an

excerpt from a Sesame Street program in which a child is taught what it means to be female. Sesame Street. say the two producers, has been attacked by some women for this reason. There will also be programs, devoted to female sexuality. marriage and motherhood. dav care centres and. of course, Judy LaMarsh. Mrs. Nunes, 26, and Mrs. White, 24, did a Life Style show last year on the subject of deserted wives and discovered that the problem of people so described was “not that they were deserted wives, but that they were poor and female. ” Their work on that show inspirA ed this year’s series, the aim of which, according to Mrs. Nunes, is to “get at things on a deeper level than you usually see on& We don’t give answers because the answers aren’t clear.” Both stressed their ambition to “avoid rhetoric because rhetoric intimidates - _women, and they L * don’t understand it. “Rhetoric isn’t interesting. What’s interesting is what happened in someone’s life to make her a feminist That’s when it means something.”

Can anybody The water100 soccer team went to Guelph Wednesday night for their second league game. The only problem was they forgot their soccer skills here in Waterloo. By a stroke of luck the Guelph team was also ready to play anything but soccer. The result was a O-O draw that gives both teams a well undeserv-

ed point. No one really deserved to win, and the goaless draw was to much of a prize for both teams. The game started out quite -pleasantly and both teams seemed eager to play, but alas it was to be only a fire of smoke. The warriors could have actually scored a goal, for they had a penalty kick awarded to them, but to

keep in tune with their utter rejection of the game they wasted that too, with a banal shot which was the easy save for the Guelph goal-tender. From that point on, the game became a grand old yawn and boredom took over the field<. . The referee tried in vain to lighten up the contest with some of the most idiotic decisions ever seen on a soccer field. That too unfortunately failed to waken up the 22 athletes on the field. It would be almost impossible to describe the plays that occurred in the game; for to call any of plays that went on, on that soccer field, would certainly be a cardinal sin against the game of soccer. To give a picture of the actual game is very easy indeed; just imagine 22 babies with a ball among them. The warriors must certainly take most of the blame for the stupidity of that game. They have a much better personel than Guelph, individually they have a more intelligent knowledge of the game, although you could doubt it tonight and as a team do have the capacity to produce an entertaining, fast-breaking type of soccer. On Wednesday though, they out did themselves and they managed to lower their soccer mentality to that of Guelph’s. Our forwards, like lost soldiers in the middle of the Sahara, didn’t know which was the right direction to go, or play the ball, our center-field men were anywhere but the center and the defence followed in happily only concerned to clear the incoming attacks, with great bursts of confusion and total disregard for its own forwards who maybe would have liked a decent pass. On the other side Guelph was doing just the same, and know you can easily imagine the utter destruction of the game of soccer as it took place on that field. The O-O score should not make you believe that the defences out played the opposite attacks, on the contrary, no one out-played anybody, the plain truth is that no one played soccer.

Harriers

win

Last Saturday, at the University of Guelph, the University of Waterloo Harriers defeated the defending Canadian Champion, University of Guelph team 28 to 40.

There were seven teams in the competition and the depth of the Waterloo squad was shown as their second team placed third. The individual winner was Dave Smith of York and three Waterloo runners followed him. They were Brian Bisson, Paul T. Pearson and Paul S. Pearson. Although they have beaten the champs, other strong teams not represented at the meet were Western, Toronto and MacMaster. These meets are scheduled to prime the cross country teams for the OQAA championships in early November.

MONTREAL (CUP) - A new party, the front d’action politique (FRAP) will make its bid to unseat the ruling Drapeau ‘regime in the Montreal city elections on October 25. FRAP was formed to bring power into the hands of citizens in each district, and away from what FRAP considers to be a dictatoship in city hall. The party grew out of a union of citizen’s committees and local comites d’action politique (CAPS) in 14 out of 18 city wards. Michel Cartier, party official and a member of the Ahuntsic CAP, siad that FRAP will attempt to break the control that business and property owners now exercise over regional economic and political decisions and over local school boards. The new party has launched its campaign for citizen’s control on five fronts: transport, health, culture and recreation and the economic and social development of montreal. General policies drafted at the FRAP congres general, held aug. 28-30, call for: l The adoption of french unilingualism on the working and administrative levels of municipal government l The transfer of all private property in Montreal to the city l The abolition of the police antiriot squad l The gradual phasing out of fares on public transportation l The enactment of legislation to protect tenants. It was also agreed at the party congress that the CAPS would -have complete control in the nomination of ward candidates. The CAPS would also have the right to forego nomination of ward candidates in favour of political mobilization in the districts.

“The election is only one way of using the existing political system to further our cause,” said Paul Cliche, president of FRAP’s secretariat. Two CAPS have ‘already opted for mobilization, these district committees are in primarily english speaking areas. The six man party secretariat, elected at the FRAP congress, is now hard at work on consolidating party support in several downtown working class districts. FRAP president Paul Cliche, 35, was formerly a reporter for the montreal daily Le Devoir and head of the confederation of national trade unions political action department. Robert Lacaille, 30, a milkman, is chairman of the St. Henri district hospital committee and is vicepresident of the party. A recently passed amendment to Montreal electoral laws will allow 18-year-olds to vote in the election. This is a further liberalization of an electoral code which -has only lately extended the vote to all citizens. In the past elections only property owners had the franchise. In its present campaign FRAP is specifically attacking the city’s present budget priorities. The party wants to convert Drapeau’s man and his world into’s’ popular university. FRAP is also criticizing as grossly inflated the $160 million annual expenditure on municipal administration. The party in addition has come down hard on the $50 million spent yearly on police. Party officials have compared montreal to chicago in the amounts allocated to “law enforcement. ” FRAP is also attacking Drapeau for allocating a mere $2 million to housing in the past five years, out of an annual budget of $412 million.

Ideal meals for students. Casseroles can be satisfying, tasty, easy, and cheap all at once. They can be made in an oven-proof pot, baking dish, or casserole dish, covered or uncovered. Most can be put together ahead of time, at night or in the morning, and refrigerated until needed. Then they should be placed in a cold oven and brought to their cooking temperature and cooked until done. Or, they can be partially cooked and frozen for later use. When reheating a frozen casserole best results will be obtained if the casserole is allowed to thaw first, either overnight in the refrigerator or about four hours at room temperature. If they are put into the oven while still frozen they tend to dry out. Even when a casserole is pre-thawed it may need more liquid added while cooking. Casseroles are versatile. In most cases it isn’t necessary to follow the list of ingredients exactly. If you don’t have something on hand it’s possible your substitution will be an improvement over the original recipe. A supply of condensed soups and canned vegetables is indispensible in the winter months. They are used in all the following recipes and when fresh vegetables are in short supply and expensive, the canned ones may be used in soups and stews as well. Frozen soups and vegetable can also‘ be used but the soups are generally more expensive and frozen vegetables are terrible. Even when fresh vegetables are plentiful the canned items are convenient (you could can your own) since fresh ones usually don’t keep very long. Although all of the following casseroles can be made in large amounts, it is best to divide them into one-meal quantities. Enough for two or more meals can ‘be made and put in separate dishes, each to be heated when needed. If any is leftover from a meal it can be difficult to reheat since it dries out in the oven and comes out of a frying pan in a very unhealthy looking state.

Tuna

casserole

Everyone has his own favourite recipe for tuna casserole. Almost any of them are good if you use good tuna. That means paying about 55 cents or more for a regular (7 oz) can. This recipe is good with even the cheapest tuna - stuff which usually tastes horrible but costs 10 cents a can less (sometimes even more less). The curry powder seems to take away the offensive, strong fishy taste which it otherwise has. Almost any of the ingredients except the tuna can be left out or appropriately substituted. The amount of curry powder depends on the strength of the particular brand you use and whether you want thecasserale to have a distinctly curried taste (from 1 tsp to 1 tbsp or more) or just want it not to have a fishy tast (about l/z tsp to 1 tsp.) 1 % cup macaroni (uncooked) 1 large can (about 9 oz) tuna (this is the size the cheap stuff generally comes in) 1 regular can (12 oz) kernel corn, or 1 regular can (14 oz) cream style corn 1 regular can (10 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery or cream of chicken (but if you like mushrooms the mushroom soup ise best) l/3 cup milk (instant will do and is cheaper) 4 oz (about) diced mild cheese

casseroles.

1 medium onion chopped l/3 cup very finely chopped celery l/8 tsp marjoram salt and pepper to taste some curry powder 2 tbsp (about) and 2 cups bread crumbs (for a wide-top casserole, less for a deeper dish)

Cook the macaroni uncovered for about 8 minutes in rapidly boiling salted water, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain and run cold water over the macaroni to separate the pieces. This is easy with a colander , some thing worth purchasing if you don’t have one. It’s also handy for things like draining and flaking the tuna. Drain the tuna and flake it with a fork. Mix the tuna and all other ingredients except the macaroni, bread crumbs and butter. When the mixture is well blended, stir in the macaroni and pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish (about 3 qt size j. Melt the butter and toss the bread crumbs in it. Spread the buttered crumbs over the top of the casserole. Bake in preheated 400 F. oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until hot through and bread crumbs are browned. Serves 6 to 8.

Anything

casserole

Unless you are feeding a hoard, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinners are of ten worth using (cheapest at Busy B - 15q: for a package which says it serves 3 or 4, but definitely won’t serve more than 3 as a main course). As a matter of fact, unless you are worried about eating skim milk powder, whey powder, sodium phosphate, and artificial coloring, they are worth using even to feed a hoard. It is cheaper to use Kraft dinners, as well as most other macaroni dinners, than to use the basic ingredien ts of macaroni, fresh cheese, tomatoes, etc, and put them together yourself. Obviously a prepackaged dinner bears no comparison to planned, wellcooked, home-made meals, but they are convenient to keep on hand and useful when you are in a hurry. This recipe, which makes a meal out of almost anything, is taken from a package of Kraft Dinner. We’re printing it in case your package doesn’t have it (the recipes on the package are chang ed occasionally), or so that you can make it with real macaroni and freshly grated or creamed cheese if you wish. 1 package kraft macaroni and cheese dinner l/4 cup margarine 3/4 cup milk (instant will do) 1 regular can condensed cream of mushroom soup any one or more (preferably more) of: 4 weiners, sliced 1 cup cubed cooked ham 1 7 oz can tuna, drained and flaked 1 cup cubed cooked chicken 1 7 oz can salmon, drained and flaked 1 cup cooked peas or 1 regular can (14 oz) peas l/4 cup finely chopped onion 2 tbsp chopped pimento or mild red pepper 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Prepare the dinner as directed using the packaged grated cheese and the margarine and milk. Or, cook real macaroni as in the Tuna Casserole recipe: omit the margarine and cut the milk to I/2 cup. Add some (1 or 2 ounces or more) grated cheese or hunks of cheese. Then add the soup and whatever other ingredients you wish. Most of the combinations go together well, but we would hesitate to try tuna and salmon

together. The onion is good with anything else, as are the peas. Corn can be used with some combinations.

Corn

casserole

This recipe is good. Parts of it may sound unusual but it is worthy of your trying it at least. The casserole is easy to make and can be assembled well ahead of time. Buy olive pieces instead of whole olives because they are much cheaper and for most recipes you have to chop them anyway. .And if you wonder how you will use a whole package of corn meal, try it as hot porridge for breakfast on a cold winter morning.

Base 1 cup corn meal (yellow) 1 tsp salt lots of freshly ground black pepper (if you are lucky enough to have a pepper mill. If you don’t, then use whatever you have and buy one soon - the difference is amazing we hear.)

Bring 2 cups-water to a boil in a pot or saucepan. Mix the corn meal, salt and pepper with the cold water and pour the mixture into the pan of -boiling water, stirring constantly, Cook for 10 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently (almost constantly). Pour into a greased lo-inch (or so) square baking dish and chill overnight, or for 4 hours at least.

Serves 6. We should have said this four weeks ago but we didn’t so we are saying it now. If you have never cooked before, and you now find yourself facing the sometimes dubiously rewarding situation of being able to (ie, being financially forced to) cook for yourself, a book well worth getting is Jay F. Rosenberg’s The Impoverished Students’ Book of Cookery, Drinkery, & Housekeepery. The book has such handy sections as “COOKERY : being a contribution toward a general theory of how to eat well on one dollar per day and live to tell about it,” and recipes for such delectable dishes as “GrindedUp Beef’ ‘, and “The AbsoluteUltimate-Best-Sort-of-Sandwich”, along with “A Brief Essay on Horsemea t ’ ’ . Our copy came from the bookstore, and if they don’t have it on hand they will order it for you. The book costs two or three dollars, but for the impoverished student, “an individual who loves to eat, hates to cook, and cannot really afford to do either”, it is well worth it.

out the main foyer of the Eng. Bldg.. A friendly janitor seeing the plight of us keyless plumbers opened the door for us. Upon entering the office we found a 12’ paper mache monkey wrench. Committee members then debated whether or not we had stumbled upon the real rigid tool. The consensous of opinion was that at very least it was reasonable.facsimile. Rigid tool in hand the committee made its way out of the Bldg. Two committee members then took it upon themselves to find a safe place to hide it ie. Burt Mathews’ back yard. The tool safely hidden the two committee members returned to the Math Bldg. Meanwhile the plumbers who had been laying low for the past two hours decided that the coast was clear. Little did they know that the Math sot’s Orientation Committee’s Center Piece Committee got up pretty early in the morning. The plumbers were caught pink handed as they tried to stuff the tie in their trunk. The tie in the trunk, the plumbers locked themselves in the car and prepared for the get away. Sizing up the situation one committee member leaped to the hood of the car and began socking the roof of the car. The car took off and sped around the ringroad, one center piece committee member serving as a hood ornament. After some discussion it was detided (by the committee member) that it was only fair that the tie be returned since said plumbers had been caught in the act. The committee member thanked them for trying to steal the tie and for their sense of fair play. He encouraged them to try again as this type of activity is great for boasting spirit and creating a wholesome inter-faculty rivalry. The cent& piece committee then adjourned proceedings for the evening. CARL MITH student village 2

The last two weeks of the chevron contained satirical writings that were signed “storey 70”. I would like to bring it to your attention that the fellow who signed his name to these witty ink drawings was not the witty fellow who drew those drawings. Both ink sketches were done by an austrian satirist whose name is Heinrich Klee, not storey 70. Lets give credit where credit is due. PETER JKOWRONJKY arts Indeed, Heinrich Klee was the inspirator of theses drawings, and he (as well as other artists) will inspire another series to come. A cartoon depicts a certain situation which could have been shown by another artist before. We simply adapt and assemble these ideas to suit our situation. -the Jettitor

On Friday, Sept. 11th a carefully planned attempt to steal the 85’ pink tie of the Math Society was ‘foiled by members of the center piece committee (a sub committee of the Math Sot Orientation Committee). At approximately 8:15 p.m. three official looking plumbers gained entrance to the Math Sot office and high tailed it down the southeast stairway with the Math Sot Mathscot. Shrewdly hiding in a washroom of the Math Bldg. the plumbers were able to evade the center piece committee. After searching the building and finding no trace of the tie, committee members decided that the tie might possibly be found in the Eng. Sot. office. Under the pretext of waiting for “Bill Murdock” (an imaginary plumber) the center piece committee cased

prof, ‘To achieve credibility with data’ to all associations

As a member of the faculty association committee which was charged with the responsibility for determining the faculty concensus with regard to the structure of the unicameral council, I object to statement in the faculty association newsletter, Vol. 3, No. 4, July - August, 1970. The offending statement is “A faculty association brief incorporating the results of a questionnaire distributed to the faculty at large and proposing substantive changes in the composition of the council was totally ignored by the act committee.” . The results of the questionnaire, averaged across all 117 returns (which was the form in which the data were presented to the faculty association executive), together with the proposals of the university act committee and the “official” faculty association position are as follows:

Why don’t YOU join Mrs. Paul and thousands of other Kitchener-Waterloo shoppers that save at Warehouse Market. You’ll ‘reduce your food bill substantially!

I feel there are substantive differences between the results of the questionnaire and the official faculty association submission and that the first part of the statement quoted is, in the least, misleading. The official faculty association recommendation was conveyed to the chairman of the university act committee by memorandum on february 24, 1970, and ratified by the membership at the annual meeting held on march 30, 1970. At this meeting there was discussion of the structure of the uni-camera1 council before the vote was taken. However, I feel the vote was one of confidence in the executive and not necessarily an endorsement of the proposed council structure since the “official position” : had already been taken outside the faculty association (in the act committee). To achieve creditability within the “university community” and the community-at-large the faculty association, other groups, and individuals should be careful with respect to the use of the factual data.

fee You just

can get walking

shot even across campus

Is it possible that one may get shot at while walking across the campus? YES. I am referring to an incident which took place on friday, september 25 in the late evening hours in parking lot K at village 1. A person (who does not wish to be mentioned by name) was injured by a pellet from an airgun fired presumably from the vicinity of a rather wild and uncontrolled party in one of the houses opposite the lot. It is safe to conclude that the shot was aimed-it was no stray bullet! This raises a number of questions. Obviously, some poeple, calling themselves students, are not capable to control their actions. Who is responsible then if they are residents on the private grounds of the university of Waterloo, and how much freedom should they be allowed? Certainly not as much that their personal exaltation should be dangerous to others. Is it necessary to have weapons of that sort on campus? I believe that it gives the university the right to take action without legally infringing on the freedom of these few pseudo-students who are immature enough not to be able to cope with their own freedom. If they do not have the necessary manners, the university can make them observe some rules. There should be no firearms allowed on campus. I am a student myself but’ realize that it is necessary, unfortunately, for a great number of students to suffer-because of these irresponsible few-until this small number of undesirable creeps is thoroughly weeded out. (It generally takes too long till they run out of funds or do badly enough academically! ) I therefore suggest that as a result of this last incident the university security department should have the right to impound any weapon or “toy” (if necessary through a house search) and that the student involved by expelled permanently from any university institution in this country. It should be safe to walk across campus without having to worry that some mindless idiot (which we apparently have on campus) will crack a shot at you because he is “getting a charge out of it”.

It is hard to believe that the cartoon published in last week’s Chevron under the auspices of the Palestine. national liberation movement was calculated to please anyone except the extreme right. I found it ironic to see a paper of your political complexion apparently at one with white russian generals and nazi journalists; but your cartoon would have been meat and drink to the authors of “The protocols of the elders of Zion”, and would have done credit to “der stuermer.” It might also be of interest to point out that under the Race Relations Act recently introduced in england by a socialist government, with the overwhelming support of Left-Wing opinion, and, one presumes, with the tacit ap-

As I write this from my quadricolored sofa in the campus centre, the janitor is picking up ex‘cess chevrons strewn over the floor at the rate of about five a minute. The papers follow a slow cycle from the information centre to the floor; each informed intellectual picking up his fresh, uncreased un-swee t-marie stained chevron from the counter totally ignoring the many used copies all over the place. This is ridiculous! As a pollution-concerned publication, it must be obvious that this needless use of paper is an inexcusable waste of our natural resources! Why not ask everyone to return their copy to the counter if they don’t want to take them home? Then you won’t need to publish as many, which probably will mean substantially less expense per issue. I think its a great newspaper, and am certain that reducing its , quantity won’t hurt its quality. . This may mean a few less paper 747’s on film nights, but we have to make a few sacrifices now and then, right? DAVID MARM~REK math 1 Revolutionary in internutional

process sense

For those readers that are careful enough to notice the facts in

any article that they read, I would like to clarify a couple of points in the article by Dane Charboneau on Alain Krivine’s meeting, while explaining the role of the jlr in the may-june 1968 uprising in France.

All Those Interested In Working Are Welcome

The jeunesse communiste revolutionaire (jcr ) which Alain was the leader of is of course one of many radical groups which participated in the mass upserge of 68. The other noteable organization which helped to organize the events was the may 22 movement of con-bendit which now does not exist. The movement itself of the mass of students was spontaneous as well as organized. At that time no organization had overriding influence in the student movement there, just as anywhere, and so the various groups coordinated their efforts during the mass upsurge.

When: Where:

Federation of Students Office . In Campus Centre

But what each organization contributes and helps to organize determines how it will be judged after the upsurge and if it shall survive for any length of time. According to that criteria, the ‘jcr can be seen to have played an “instrumental role” in the uprising. As an immediate result of the may events the jcr doubled its membership and when Alain ran for the president of France, even though his organization had been banned, he received a quarter of a million votes in their first election. This campaign was also carried during a month leave of absence from the army into which he had been drafted. The jcr approached the may events not from just a student viewpoint and no further perspective; the objective of the jcr’s intervention was to gain the support of the j working class which had the power to fundamentally change the french society so that the students demands could be effected in a socialist society. The may 22 movement on the other hand did ‘not see the necessity of presenting that alternative to the workers in order to mobalize them in solidarity with the students. The influence of the reformist communist party and their general trade union the cgt were very anti-student and its influence had to be counter-posed by demands and actions which aroused workers support which it did. Spontaneously ten million workers did respond until the communist party regained control and had them return to work and give up their occupied factories to the bosses. Soon afterwards the jcr decided to join the fourth international, the world party of socialist revolution founded by Leon Trotsky, to which the young socialist-Ligue les jeanes socialistes in Canada look to for political leadership. The reporting on the analysis of Alain Drivine’s speech is excellently presented by Dane Charboneau. This type of analysis has been lacing in the literature of the english Canadian student movement. An international perspective is vital to understand the revolutionary process in one’s own country, and the lessons learned from other countries will have to be learned from being aware of them or they will have to be learned in the future here through our mistakes.

misrepresents Christianity

facts look

Mr. Kinsolving’s three recent articles published in KitchenerWaterloo Record “Hinduism - the national curse of India”, contain factual inaccuracies and venomous misrepresentations. @Kinsolving has blamed Hinduism for the lack of family planning drive in -India. Nothing could be more further from truth. According to the latest statistics Hindus have the minimum percentage increase of population in 1968-69. The maximum increase is by Christlans. \ Unlike the Church which still scoffs at the basic idea of family planning, Hinduism does not in the least prohibit any such act. Some time back India’s minister of family planning specially flew to meet the Pope in connection with the growing birth rate of Christians in India. Needless to add, the mission was a failure. In the unbiased opinion of several western experts the family planning drive in India is several years ahead of the USA and Canada. *The writer blames Hinduism for the thousands of people sleeping in streets of Calcutta. Any person of average rational thinking cannot but laugh at such an absurd reasoning. Is it sensible to blame Christianity for the ghettos of Chicago or the drugged hippies sleeping on pavements in Los Angeles? @Hinduism has been blamed for the caste system and poor treatment of scheduled caste minority. The factual position is just the opposite. The constitutional rights guaranteed to this group since Indian independence have improved their standard of living tremendously . The constitution guarantees 15 percentage of all federal and provincial jobs reserved to them and even relaxes their competitive qualifications during recruitment. Today every Hindu accepts that in India a person belonging to the minority caste rises much higher in federal and provincial jobs with the same qualifications. There are extra scholarships for their studies, jobs are reserved for them, recr.uitment standards are relaxed, and Indians are, on the whole, proud to see them come up briskly in every sphere of modern life. Alas, it is still not too late for the concerned countries of west to get timely lesson from India and improve the lot of their negroes and original inhabitants! @Kinsolving does not even spare Gandhi for his. axioms of Hinduism! Gandhi always quoted Krishna, Christ, Mohammed and Buddha with reverence all his life. He gave the name Harijan, meaning ‘children of God’, to the minority caste group and saw to it that the constitution of the republic of india was written by a team of- experts headed by a Harijam (Dr. Ambedkar). Which Christian country in the world today c-an take a similar step to have its constitution revised from the hands of a negro? The deep hatred and annoyance of Kinsolving for Gandhi seems understandable. The phenomenal uplift of these modern Indian society due to Gandhi, a Hindu, drastic-

ally curtailed the octopus like creep of Christianity among the lower Indian classes ! It is worthwhile pointing out that the next most powerful cabinet post in India today, after the prime minister, is held by a Harijan! Till last year, the constitutional and judicial heads of Indian republicthe president and the -supreme court chief justice-were also nonHindus. @Kinsolving seems to get destablised from his pedestal by the ironical phenomenon of an increasing number of his own kith and kin looking to Hinduism for answers of life. If a child looks for security and love outside his homewho is to blame but the parents? Why raise hell against the ,neighbour who gives the child what he is starved of at home? @Hinduism is a highly complex and intellectual way. of living. Philosophers and thinkers of all times have devoted their lifetimes to study this most ancient of religions. The _ understanding and assimilation of Hindu philosophy, like many other philosophies is directly related to ones own faith, sense of appreciation of higher values of life and limits of intellectual understanding. In making a sweeping statement that low caste people in India get kille‘d if they keep their moustache up, Kinsolving not only exhibits his fickle minded preconceived hatred for another religion but also a poor sense of humou,r! Just because one Christian killed John Kennedy does not imply that all Christians in the USA keep loaded guns to assassinate their president! aLike every other religion, Hinduism has its share of imperfections. Kinsolving’s three abuse and hatred filled articles on Hinduism remind one of the well known english proverb: “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. To be a true follower of his own religion Kinsolving should exhibit love and respect for other religions. Or is it asking for the impossible? On reaching his triple venom pieces one cannot but quote Christ’s fitting words: “Father forgive him for he knows not what he does!!!” l If one followed Kinsolving’s reasoning to call Hinduism the ‘national curse of India, Christianity could as well be termed the national curse not only of South Africa and Rhodesia but the entire north american subcontinent where negroes, native Indians and Puerto Ricans dwell in subhuman apathetic conditions.

In reality, Christianity is a great religion and millions of its followers all over the world oppose these unjust conditions of a large sect of humanity. In writing the three venomous articles Mr. Kinsolving has achieved nothing else but immense harm to his own great religion. , Such a tirade of abusive thoughts about another religion coming from the pen of a holy ( ? ) Christian would certainly make Christ hang his head in shame.

Waterstock a bubble

bummer

Disappointment has entered our hearts once again. As we have put all our faith and much of our money into the Federation of Students, We hardly expected to be the victims of faulty advertising. The wrath and anger that wells up in us must once again be su’ppressed. What we are referring to is the incident that occurred last Saturday night when we were sorely irritated by a severe blow to our expectations at Waterstock. For the upteenth time we students were screwed. Two of the main groups, Cowsills and Motherlode didn’t show and we weren’t notified until the concert started. As second year students we’re accustomed to it but picture the disallusionmen t of the innocent frosh. Their whole university temperment could be desecrated by this abhorable demonstration by the F’ederation of Students.

liberation all abdut!

Last week, as reported in the chevron, approximately 45 women who attended the “women’s liberation” meeting voted that men should be allowed to participate in such meetings. At that meeting exactly 5 women voted against the presence of men at “women’s liberation” meetings. Tuesday, September 22, this same motion was again put before a much smaller group. No new reason was presented for this, except for the fact that the original organizers (the majority of the anti-male vote mentioned above) wanted it. On this occasion the chair-woman arbitarily requested voting based upon sex. The majority of the 13 females voted against the presence of males at the second organizational meeting. The majority of the 13 males (other than the 2 neutral, non-voting male observers from the chevron) voted to remain. The chair-woman then asked the males to leave, which they did. However, you may note that there were as many men ,as women at this meeting. This parity in numbers was only achieved by deliberately bringing in several additional women, when it was obvious that the women were out-numbered. How could this have happened when 45 women attended the first meeting? Perhaps the cause was the failure of the original organizers to find more crucial issues, than paying for an “american women’s liberation” speaker to assist the “day care centre” people (who were not sufficiently interested in the help to even send a representative to the second meeting). Suggestions of marxist-leninist of our culture interpretations and meetings at which women would speak upon unhappy personal experiences, also appeared to be insufficient incentive to entice back most of the women present at the first meeting. Indeed, the organizers succeeded in alienating every woman over thirty at their first meeting; as well as the one negro who attend? ed. Despite this hostility and ineptitude, four of the six men mentioned in the September 22 issue of

the chevron returned in hope that they would be able to help “women’s liberation”. Instead their help was rejected. To be completely fair, it must be noted that the women members were willing to use men to do simple or potentially dangerous jobs: ie. on the picket lines, .handing out leaflet? etc. They only wish to exclude ‘the men from the “decision making part of the organization”. Reducing men to women’s pre-suffragist ‘social role may be gratifying to someone who hates men, but is it, really necessary to liberate women? If so,“women’s liberation” is doomed. By excluding males from the decision making apparatus, any hope of general male support for this “women’s liberation” group has been destroyed. Indeed, as now constituted, this group would more honestly be named the “women’s dominance society”.

be competence. If the female members of the “women’s liberation” group are wise enough to adopt a similar principle, they may find that it is not too late to regain general male and female support for their movement. We hope they are. ROD MCCORMICK and four others

Worn-en’sliberation seenas a “revolutionary” question THE

AUGUST 26 WOMEN’S STRIKE for equality was an important step forward in the revohitionary history of the United States. It was a massive action in hundreds of cities, with over 30,000 marching in New York city alone. Previous to this turnout, no one knew how many women actively supported “women’s liberation. ” No one knew how many of the unnumbered women’s groups that had met regularly for the past few to discuss their years, either problems in common or to fight for an end to job discrimination or for abortion reform, would join the actions. The national demands set forth on august 26, while “reformist,” must also be considered part of the struggle against capitalism, for the “woman question” is a revolutionary one: the full democratic rights partially represented by the three demands cannot be granted to all women under the capitalist system. The demands are: free abortion on demand and an end to forced sterilization; free 24-hour child care controlled by the community; equal opportunities to equal jobs and education .

While some of the reforms gained may tend to benefit the middle class more than the workers (e.g., -it is legal to get an abortion in New York state but the cost makes it prohibitive to .most working people) the workers -need the reforms the most. Therefore working-class women should be in the forefront of the struggle. While they are an important part of the movement, middle - class and bourgeois women will not insist the struggle be carried through to the end to benefit all womenespecially where the struggle comes into conflict with the system of private property. The most important aspect of the struggle for democratic rights is that with the gaining of legal rights it will be seen more clearly that oppression still exists and that it was not lack of rights but class society and presently the capitalist system that is the cause . , of women’s oppression. It will also be seen that every gain won under capitalism can be turned to its opposite. For instance, day care controlled by the company can be used to control employees with children: to keep them from organizing, striking,

quitting or demanding more benefits. The demands put forth on august 26 have revolutionary implications because to carry them to their logical conclusion, the capitalist system would have to be eliminated. The super-profits gained from the extra exploitation of women workers over men workers are expendable only in limited situations and after a struggle. For instance, in may the supreme court ruled t-he Wheaton Glass co., must pay at least 250,000 dollars in back wages to women workers* who had been making 211% cents less per hour than male workers for “substantially similar” work. But such violation exists in thousands and-when challenged as a whole-make an overwhelming claim on capitalist profits. The average woman’s paycheck in 1968-the latest year with statistics available-was only 58 percent of the average man’s paycheck and this was down from 63.9 percent in 1955. As the contradictions between workers and the bourgeoisie increase under capitalism, more work will be squeezed from the workers, they will be paid less for it and women workers will be paid less than male workers., Women are not only super-ex-ploited .in being paid less than men. They are also a reserve labor force, assigned the most boring and undesirable labor, are hired last and fired first, and thus used

to bring down the material level of all workers. In this sense, the three demands raised august 26 are not only “women’s demands.:’ The struggles for full access to family planning, for professional 24-hour child care controlled by the community ;.nd for equality on the job and in the schools are vital to both sexes. By winning these democratic rights more women could more easily struggle to break away from isolation and repetitious work in the home to take part in the socialized labor force and in the common struggle on an equal basis with all workers. For these rights to be fully implemented, however, there would have to be socialized housework, child care and kitchensstaffed by men and women. Women’s exploitation as unpaid workers in the house whose job is to maintain the labor force will have been eliminated-along with the super-profits the capitalist system saves by maintaining the individual household economy. There are revolutionary consequences to the three demands set forth. Masses of people will : have to struggle together for them. At every turn they will see how capitalism attempts to sabotage all rights and freedoms and how even to maintain any. right under the present system, a continual struggle must be waged. -from

‘VE BEEN SITTING here now for quite a while, cleaning up the desk, getting up and shuffling about, scratching the dog behind the ears and watching the fire die and come back to life. There seems to be something out in the greenhouse moving about, but I guessit’s just a piece of cloth or something being blown by the wind seeping through the broken glass. Good lord, the house is quiet. Hitting the typewriter keys makes me feel as if I’m disturbing someone or creating a diversion for some other action. It’s sort of eerie and funny all at once. There’s a tap dripping, and it’s drip sounds like a distant abortive human whistle, as if someone we’re passing the house every thirty seconds and letting one note of a tune enter through the windows. Every-so-often, the house creeks or a log bursts into flame or something equally dramatic happens. This is tremendous. I’ve called Miss Lizzy (“I wondered how long you’d keep using that name!“) a number of times today but with no luck. Evasive bitch. Beautiful though. This business of being “pure” keeps cropping up and I’m tempted to ask, “Pure what?” but I know she’d probably hit me. I know what she means, but it’s hard to become what you already are, whether you like its form or not. And she’d probably disagree with me (“With who?” “With you.” “Oh, Pooh”) about it anyway. The troops have returned from the pub and the dog seems satisfied with more attention. People always make a place much less mysterious. Less so if they are mystery people, but even then, something is added or removed or whatever. Tomorrow I’ll hand in application for school and talk to someone about schools and be talked to about doing some acting. A most promising day. Sleep is very inviting now. I remember trying desperately to get to sleep before days like Christmas and first day back to school and the day of a trip. When you’re young, you still think that trying to get yourself to sleep on such important eves will be a successful and profitable venture. Naturally it only keeps you awake most of the night and brings you to a bleery-eyed morning. But that’s how it should be. What good are excitment days if you can’t see them through bleery eyes and feel them through aching shoulders? And when they end... oh, such luxurious exhaustion. I’ve just been presented with a roast beef sandwich and a glass of milk along with the comment, “Eat, drink and be m,erry, for tomorrow your typewriter may break.” Who am I to argue?

And as for the downtown media people who attended Matthews’ get-together luncheon, I believe one of them didn’t order anything. We have been beset by rumor-mongers, lately. . everyone has plenty of rumors to offer, but very few stories with names, dates or facts to back up the rumors. Should we accept rumors as valid comment and start our own version of The Column in the Gazette; or should we accept all rumors graciously and use those we approve of in the mastheads (the thing you are reading right now(? Not being quite sure which course to follow, we will compromise this week and talk about half the rumors and forget about the others until a later date. Rumor: watch for some tougher instructions to the campus center board from the fedeition of students about possibly closing the building certain hours of the day. Watch for federation initiative in bringing the “transient youth” question before the city councils of Kitchener-Waterloo. Not too many people have been happy with the late-night goings-on in the campus center and some feel the Satan’s Choice don’t fall into the same category that qualifies to’use the building in it’s definition as a ‘community resource.’ Rumor: Watch for some interesting politics at village II as warden Ron Eydt plays musical tutors with village II council. Residence politics again-blahh. But are there more important things at stake here than meets the eye.7 Rumor: What about Hellen Reesor’s recent re-appointment as “director” (pro tern) of health services? More on this in weeks to come?? Rumor: Burt Matthews has been planted here by the CIA and the RCMP to test out secret new methods of eliminating tiresome student organizations and irritating demands by faculty (some) and students (fewer than would be hoped) for making the university relevent to modern society.
