One of the most significant debates over teaching contracts to take place at Waterloo Lutheran university since the firing two years ago of controversial political- science professor George Haggar is now in the air as a result of an emergency general meeting called Wednesday night by Lutheran’s student council (SAC). The meeting-attended by over 300 persons-was in response to a recent firing of Joel Ha&,. the most talked-about philosophy professor at that institution. Hartt’s contract will not be renewed next year. There was a significant enough contingent of students interested in Hartt’s continuation at WLU that a committee was formed to investigate the facts behind his release. The committee questioned the legitimacy of the decision, since, although Hartt is very popular with many he has received substantial criticism. Concise arguments were presented as to why the philosophy department’s decision ought to be reversed: l The department has stated a significant decrease in enrolment in their department made the present number of professors unnecessary. The committee countered that this year’s enrolment had actually increased. 0 The committee further argued that Hartt taught more hours and more students than any other professor in the department and losing him would increase

reason

the teaching load of other faculty-above the present limit. l Hartt is one of two members of the department who has a background in b logic, an area in which the department itself claims to be very interested. It was suggested releasing him would hardly be in keeping with this interest. l If seniority was the issue (W-LU dismisses according to the least seniority) it should be considered inadequate for judging a professor, participants claimed. l The university senate made an appeal last year for open-ended courses and a more liberal approach to educa- o tion. Hartt is key to this emphasis. If the university is more concerned about economics, suggested one member of the committee, “let’s scratch the rhetoric in the university calendar, bring in some accountants, and make this place into a really efficient production line.” The decision to fire Hartt was made after the president asked all department chairmen to carefully review their situations since someone would have to gofor budget reasons. When philosophy department chairm-an Fred Little announced he would release Hartt, students asked how such a decision could be made without any consultation with those whom the decision most effects-the students themselves? According to the committee, all the information obtained was difficult to secure because of a tight information ho?d by administration.

After some discussion from the genera1 crowd, administration president Frank Peters was invited to the meeting to describe from his point of view, how the decision was reached and for what reasons. Peters stated that- the administration faced a 7-8 percent deficit for the present year and had to do some “housecleaning” before someone from the outside “did it for them. ” All departments were asked to review the possibilities of releasing someone, and philosophy was the department that responded. Peters claimed the student-teacher ratio question was not the entire issue. How many are required to keep the department going is the more vital question-which includes considerations for graduate programs. Political science and history have grad programs, but philosophy does not. Peters stated the university has cut costs areas such as administration, until WLU has the lowest administrative cost rate of any Ontario university. Asked if he would consider making the cut in another place, Peters said that he hadn’t been approached as yet, but would certainly consider such a proposal. The general meeting finally endorsed a SAC motion that the contract decision be reversed, a contract for a 2-year probationary period be reneweB, and a response be made by Little by next Monday.

Cultural requires

firing Hartt, who along with Little, had not attended the meeting in order to free opposition to speak their minds, later agreed with the arguments presented by the committee. “My own feeling is that I’d like to come back,” he said. “Some exciting things are happening at the school, partitularly along the lines of inter-disciplinary education, and I service some of the needs in that area.” Hartt would not say that the decision to release him was an injustice, but agreed there were alternative arguments to the administrative position. Pastor Dick Urdahl, chaplain of the university and supporter. of Hartt’s contract renewal, clarified some-of the misgivings. “‘I’m sure the reasons are economic and administrative,” he stated. “I think it is regrettable that economics would control the situation. “But anybody trying to get mileage out of the view that there is a vendetta here is completely uninformed. ” Little also said there was no issue outside of the economic and equitable distribution within departments. “I have no criticism whatever of Joel’s teaching methods, personality, or philosophy,” he said. “Never in three years have we opposed Joel in his teaching methods.” Little has not committed himself on the outcome the reconsideration being made. ,

identity struggle?

Speaking to a scant group Ontario Liberal leader Robert Nixof gave the usual liberal bullshit about what his party would do to improve the provincial picture if elected. - story on page 3.

The- conceptualized whim of biculturalism as stated in the fourth volume of the royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism came under critical scrutiny this past weekend during a multi-ethnic conference sponsored by the U of- W’s ukranian club. Initially, it was the purpose and intent of the conference to examine the various manifestations of multiculturalism in a social and political context as well as to determine whether such a concept has any validity in an increasingly mass-oriented society* To an even greater extent, the conference was called to achieve a consensus toward condemning the fallacious precepts upon which the “bi and bi” commission based its conclusions. Throughout the fourth volume of commission proceedings, an attitude of passive indifference was maintained with regard to the effectiveness of participation of non-british and non-french ethnic groups in the process of developing a distinctively canadian cultural identity, (whatever that may entail). But if the “bi and bi” report itself, is an indication of federal government policy, ethnic groups will be tolerated but by no means encouraged to develop along cultural lines of self-awareness. Perhaps the most effective social process by which the aspirations of ethnic minority groups are rendered ineffective, according to conference particip-

ants, is that of cultural assimilation which has manifested itself throughout various institutions and social structures in Canadian society . However, cultural assimilation in Canadian society is n.o longer the exception rather than the rule. Canadian Indians and more recently “les Quebecois,” are well aware of how the various levels of social relationship between minority and majority groups have become entrenched to the-point where the preservation of cultural identity itself has become a struggle for survival. The participants in the panel which’ examined the topic of “the forces of cultural assimilation in north american society” were : Winfield Fretz, president of Conrad Grebel college; Hugh McCue, executive secretary of the indian-eskimo studies program at Trent university, and the author of “the only good indian,” Y. Lazowchuk, a ph.d. candidate in sociology at the university of Toronto and Palmer Patterson, of the history department of Uniwat. In a sociological sense, the concept of “multiculturalism” denotes the toleration and ultimate acceptance of various newly developing cultures by society at large, however idealistic that proposition may seem.

The arts society students have to recentralize. The constitution which was drafted wednesday (November 4) gives some power back to the executive committee. According to the first draft, they did not even have a vote, unless there was a tie. Under the newly drafted constitution, the executive will have no power over the finances of the clubs from arts society fees. The new constitution will have to be ratified by the arts students at a general meeting. Under the constitution, the executive will retain 17.5 percent of the money collected from arts students (after refunds). The rest will be distributed among the clubs according to past dctivities and future needs. Some students argued that ethnic clubs drew membership from other faculties, math, science and engineering. WhY should they have power to run the arts society. “The arts society should not finance activities of students from other faculties with money collected from arts students,” said a member of the society. Another argument was that

“Our society is in a crisis of conviction, of mission, of commitment, a kind of world-wide identity crisis. ” This depressing statement appears near the beginning of CBC radio’s 1970 Massey Lectures. The speaker is Dr. George Wald, a professor of biology at Harvard and Massey Lecturer for 1970. On campus last february, Dr. Wald delivered a lecture on ‘The Human Perspective’ as the inaugural speaker in the Hagey Lecture series. Wald’s theme for the six lectures is’ “therefore choose life.” In the series he will deal with the origins of the universe, life

Along with Ralph Nader, he was a prime mover behind the campaign to add public representatives to the board of directors of General Motors. His most recent political effort has been to try to link students and faculty to the union mo.vement.

the activities carried out by some clubs should be financed, partially if not wholly by the federation. The ethnic clubs should come under the BSA or the now defunct board of external relations. In other words, the federation is trying to get away with the funds it had collected, by financing clubs and organizations at the expense of the arts students. Al McPhee was confronted with a unanimous vote to accept the three acclaimed officers as the legal ones, and not those whom he had nominated.

I rot&e tippeuses grad complaints Playing to less than a packed audience last tuesday, ‘Carl I’otzke, director of athletics, kept five grad student union reps Dff-balance in their quest for justification of the university’s 922 athletic fee. . In his opening monologue, I’otzke explained the split of the 330,618 dollar budget, of which Zpproxima tely 250,000 dollars 2ome from the student fee. The Intramural budget for the men takes up 59,000 dollars and the women use another 13,500 dollars. I’he other 260,000 dollars is *wallowed up by the men’s and women’s intercollegiate budgets 2nd a-general fund. The biggest expense of the men’s intercollegiate budget belongs to the footDal1 team who spend a gross total >f 36,000 dollars. With these ‘igures released, Totzke opened the meeting to discussion from the group. Although only a few people turned out, the fact that they Nere representing the grad stulents who seem to be very upset sy this fee, led to some very in;eresting questions. The main complaint revolved around the fact that the faculty, Nho have more time than the grads for recreation, should be allowed the use of the facilities :or the ridiculously low price of !ive dollars. Totzke allowed their joint that this was not very fair ?ut that it was a matter to be ,iken up with the administration and not him. “I have already ;ried to influence the administra-s Lion to change this matter and ‘eel that maybe you will have letter luck. ” The meeting &if ted from topic ;o topic as the grads saw fit. some of their biggest clashes zentered around the lack of tenlis courts off campus and having 10 place to store their gym clothes in the physical education !omplex.

The Saturday morning session If the Multi-Ethnic Conference leld in the MC building was a iown to earth, stimulating dis:ussion. The panel consisted of Andrew samotiuk, a law student at UBC, Marucia Kucharyshyn, member If the SUSK field staff, and Michael Wawryshyn from Toron‘9. Prof. John Horton from the listory department acted as resource person. Andrew Semotiuk elaborated In the purpose and recommenlations of the bi-bi commission, who by declaring english - and [ rench the official languages of Canada, ignore all other languages and cultures on the grounds that they are not official. He -questioned. the meaning of equality when it is misconstrued 3s equality of anglophones and Francophones only. He further discussed the meaning of culture. He explained that “culture is tradition passed on and preserved by the language,” therefore it is important to probogate the rrench language in order to preserve the culture of french Canada. It is then pertinent that the. ethnic groups should be allowed, the right to their languages in order to p>eserve the culture of their origin. However, the Canadian government tends to brush aside the ethnic problem entirely, demanding that they assimilate. In dol

Totzke blamed the tennis courts on a slow moving administration that has not had a real leader for the last year and hoped the appointment of an ex-mvp football player could change the stagnant attitude towards athletics. On the question of shortage of locker space, Totzke blamed the registrars office for underestimating the enrolment and leaving the jocks holding the bag. When aksed to justify the expense of the teams, Totzke defended the expensive exhibition road trips as being an inducement to bring top caliber athletes to the school and also added that it really didn’t cost that much and wouldn’t be done every year. There seemed to be a general consensus that the intramural scene was, okay but maybe the 22 dollars could be split into two parts with the intercollegiate half being optional for the student., Totzke explained that if this were the case, then, the athletic department could not very well plan out the year’s schedule until it found out how much operating capital it had. Totzke conveyed throughoutthe meeting the feeling that as far as he was concerned the 22 dollar fee was unreasonable and that the main expense of supporting the teams should rest with the university and not the students. When it was suggested that the intercollegiate teams should BE DROPPED, Totzke again went along with it but added that he would only do this if he felt that the student body was behind such a move and he felt that they would reject violently to just such a proposal. The trend of the meeting suggested that the grads were not really concerned with the fact that there was a 22 dollar fee but that they as grads should be forced to pay it.

But it is the practical application of such a concept which determines the relationship between majority and minority ethnic groups. The development of essentially hostile attitudes and the malicious treatment of immigrants stems in fact, from an ignorance on the part of established ethnic groups. Dr. Fretz outlined five levels at which this type of strained relationship can exist: mutual extermination, which provides for total intolerance of a developing ethnic culture; mutual exploitation, in which cultural groups are exploited for various purposes, e.g. the blatant racism of south africa and rhodesia; mutual toleration, in which a ghetto existence can be said to predominate ; muttial appreciation, where groy,p interaction is

She outlined the demands of the ethnic groups which are: ~ l an education program directed towards the english and f rench Canadians ; l participatory democracy in program development such as citizens’ advisory committees in government levels where decisions are made re. ethnic problems ; l cultural centers subsidized by the government. , Michael Wawryshyn described a specific issue, that of his three year struggle of trying to place the ukranian language as full credit elective into Toronto high schools. He has been given the typical run-around by officials, was finally refered to education minister Davis who to this day has not found the time to discuss the matter.

seen to be the most effective method of a consolidation of goals and finally mutual identification, in which a concerted effort on the part of each ethnic culture is made, to benefit from the exis-. tence of the others. The process of cultural assimilation _itself exists to a certain degree on all levels of relationship between majority and minority groups. In its most ideal form, assimilation tends to induce a fusion of two cultures, so that the identity of each is forfeited and does not allow for a reconcilation of cultural differences. “Confederation” has proven itself to be a myth-an idea collectively conceived in the minds of english-Canadian business interests for the purpose of convincing various regional “canadian interests” . of something which they really didn’t want to see fulfilled. The melting-pot ideology of the Canadian ethnic majority has, since the time of confederation, dictated the terms upon which a non-british ethnic majority might co-exist on a somewhat less than antagonistic level. But inevitably, all e t h n i c groups tend to be pulled toward the institutionalized form of cultural assimilation. The desire, and numbers, has naturally manifested itself within the limited confines of maintaining a distinctive cultural identity. Con-

censored --~---~

OTTAWA (CUP) - The University of Toronto varsity was censored sunday night by their to print printers who refused the latest FLQ communique. The communique was sent out in the regular Canadian university press wire and mail service sunday. J. Robert Chittick, manager of the web offset publications, said “we are going to abide by the’laws of the land,” in response to questions about his decision. Under questioning in parliament monday, justice minister John Turner stated several times that there was no legal justification for the imposition of censorship under the war measures act. He was strongly criticized by former prime minister John Diefenbaker; who said that “the most dangerous form of censorship had been imposed, the subtle kind.”

Varsity editor David Frank read about the censorship in the Toronto Globe and Mail on a flight back from Halifax. The same paper also carried a separate story the next day with several one or two word quotes from the communique that the varsity could not print. In the place of the communique the varsity ran instead a picture of Robert Lemieux; a lawyer who defended FLQ prisoners and is himself facing charges of seditious conspiracy. The picture shows Lemieux with two pieces of tape in an “X” across his mouth. The ubyssey printed the same communique and have not reported any difficulties up until press time sunday. CUP has not heard of any other papers being censored from printing the comniunique. friday

sequently, the total forces of assimilation at work in- Canadian society have necessitated the degree of acceptance by the ethnic mingrity of their eventual assimilation. One of the first things we were taught in the realm of history in elementary school was that Columbus stumbled upon amer‘ica in 1492. But by no stretch of the imagination can it be said that he “discovered” America. How did the Indians like being “discovered? ” According to Hugh McCue, “the only thing the Indians lacked at the *time of ‘discovery’ was a good immigration policy. ” But the Canadian native populace today identifies the educational system as the prime systematic agent of cultural assimilation, repression, and eventual cultural genocide. Forty-five percent of native families earn less than four thousand dollars annually. The authoritative and competitive aspects of an educational system which places an emphasis on “success” are inconsistent with the reality that sixty-five percent of native children never progress beyond grade 7; eighty-five percent never get beyond grade 10; and ninety percent never get past grade 1,2. /Even the conceptual form ’ of the educational system-of time, of teaching methodology, of the structure of the classroom, are alien to the forms of social interaction familiar to the native child. McCue pointed out that the various attempts by governmental authorities at alleviating the present crisis in identity have been met with open hostility by a large sector of the native populace of canada. But the social process of cultural assimilation, obliteration, or extermination has undeniably adopted the -basic values which the dominant interests of canadian society seem to represent.’ It has become a natural function of a society which has exercised . ’ an attitude of passive indifference coupled with repressive intolerance of ethnic minorities. The problem of cultural assimilation itself, is irreparably linked to the preservation of economic inconsistencies and the perpetuation of economic exploitation of ethnic minorities by societal forces. These forces in turn have necessitated the existence of such $a process for the ultimate survival of a decaying social system. 73 november

Unhassled by lack of searing questions, Robert Nixon, leader of the liberal party of Ontario spoke to approximately 35 students on the Uniwat campus last monday night. Three major issues he discussed were taxes, environment and nationalism. * Four major sources of revenue for the Ontario government are the federal monies from income tax, the 5 per cent sales tax, corporations and the gas tax of 18 cents per gallon. Nixon said, “Another resource is the monopoly on liquor. The government has its own stores, hires its own staff on the recommendation from municipalities, waters the liquor down and has a net profit of 200 million dollars.” The 480 million dollars John Robarts, premier of \Ontario, is spending on “tax reform” for farmers, old age pensioners, etc., is what Nixon calls “political handouts. ” “Premiers Bennett and Thatcher also use this method. Grants are usually upped just before elections and it is implicit that the grants are from the premiers themselves,” said Nixon. Nixon saw an independent environment council, like the economic , council of Canada dealing with critical priorities before there is a danger of no recourse. “Pollution - probe’s strength

is its makeup of academics and also its stand of being politically independent of political parties,” said Nixon. “This group could be augmented by the environment council.?’ He criticized the spending of $800,000 by the Ontario trade and development branch for its advertising of how great a place Ontario is. One ad asks if the picture of a field and lake are going to become a park or parking lot. At the same time he pointed out the Ontario government is allowing logging in Quetico park. The third issue that Nixon thought might be considered chauvinistic is Canadian nationalism. “Lots of small “1” liberals are offended by the flag waving nationalism. ” Walter Gordon is probably responsible for Melville Watkins and the waffle group. “Stan Randl, the minister of trade and development wants wall to wall industry; dollars wherever they come from. “There is a danger in the middle of the road policy. The middle is called chauvinistic; and

weak-kneed it has a spectrum of alternatives. “Provincially and federally the governments have to act now to stem economic sovereignty, not to full ownership (Canadian), but to control industries and resources. ” Responding to questions Nixon said : l he was in favour of having a north development board composed of elected members from the north for development equities. l student unemployment was serious, but had no alternative or solution. l a junior-ranger-like programme might help students to choose their course of study after high school if students could work on a short time basis on projects, eg, highways, northern development social agencies, ontario hospitals, education. l public works programmes are too expensive and should be shelved. l county school boards should be implemented ‘as people respond to it. 0 separate school boards should receive grants from provincial funds.

suppress liberties

One of the submissions to the university act committee is circulating around campus in the form of a petition. The petition quotes a section of the act dealing with the powers of the body over the “conduct”’ of individuals while on campus. The act reads, “The university shall have jurisdiction over and entire responsibility for the regulation of the conduct of its students, faculty, staff and all other persons coming upon and using the lands and premises of the university and without intending to restrict the generality of the foregoing, this shall include the right and power to levy and .enforce penalties and fines, suspend or expel from student membership or from employment with the university or of denial or access to the lands and premises of the university. ” According to Shane Roberts, who drew up the petition, this

would give the governing body broad sweeping powers, “leaving no means of appealing or questioning the aptness or merits of its decisions. ” In order to rectify this overwhelming concentration of power, Roberts suggests a procedure whereby each constituency in the university (students, faculty, staff) would have a veto power over the governing body in decisions affecting them. The proposed amendment reads “All decisions of the governing council are regarding the regulation of conduct of any member of any constituency, any guest of a .member, or any constituency as a whole are subject to the approval of the respective constituency.” Copies of the petition a;:~ available at the federation of students office. For further information call 578-3334 or leave a note in the federation office.

Pow-wow at On entering the university, many students must, out of necessity, leave their families’ social and economic environment for the first time. The economic situation they f indt themselves in is, more often than not, very tight. Thus, a large number of these students organize communal or co-operative residences in order to cheapen living costs. But the social relations existing within such residences almost invariably become the essential problems to the people involved. The members of integrated studies, most of whom have had some experiences in co-ops and communes, are holding a “powwow” on communal and co-operative living this Saturday and sunday at the IS farmhouse. They approach the problem in this way: “co-ops start . . . and break up. Some people go’ into new

Since ‘communication is in the community’ maybe there’s little or no communication in the communes. ” The IS people feel that they might learn substantially by coming together to talk about such things as cooking, eating, chore hassles, sex, babies, jealohsy, social revolution, “politics,” expanded consciousness, togetherness, etc. ’ The discussions start at 10 am and will probably run through Saturday evening and part oi sunday.

Bob Garthson, who- has been a Waterloo student for the past six years, is completing a masters degree in history. He is concentrating on the contemporqry history of Water&o County and is invlolved in a seminar on that subject.

TARTING ON Sunday, november 1, “cleaners and jani. at 12 midnight, at this university began lms” working a new shift-from 12 midnight

to8am.

until the week before it was instituted. In fact, when they signed their contract in july of 1969, they were told that there was little likeljhood that such a change would take place. Many of the janitors feel that their work situation is like a prison. Workers, ‘isolated from one another by the nature of their work, are in co&ant fear of their supervisors. At times these supervisors sneak up on them,, criticize and intimidate them-in otherwords treat them like objects rather than people. Once on the job, they cannot go. outside of the building where they are assigned -to work. Even-the union stewards are allowed only ? hQurs a month for union business. Workers are allowed only‘ one half’ hour for a lunch break and no coffee breaks. When the university decided to make ihe change in the hours of work, they did not call the workers together SO that they could discuss thg change with one another. In’ the Gazette,< Sloan claims that 75 percent of the workers “were favorably disposed towards it”.

Previously, they had worked either 4 pm to 12 midnight (female cleaners) or 6pm to2am (male janitors). Most of the people affected (a great number of whom were over 40 years of age) wempposed to the change, never having worked ~the “night shift” before. The physical-and psychological hardships that the change would cause were deemed not sufficient cause for the university to cease to implement the changes. William Schmitz, in charge of cleaning and janitorial “services, who stated that 1 his job was “to maintain clean buildings”, po&?d out that the changes were made because of the increased evening functions inmany of. the buildings at the universi ty . by J. Sloan His position, - confirmed of Physical -plant and Planning in the Gazette of november 4 - was one of increased efficiency. Schmitz pointecl out further that the reason why the cleaners’ (womens’) hours of work were not changed from 4 to 12 to -6 to 2 was because this would mean that the university would be required by law to provide transportation home for the _women. Expanse and efficiency, than, qre the two university operates.

THE NEW TENANT It is tuesday night, and in the theatre of the arts all is now silent. Eight o’clock. the dressing room is now empty ‘but the lights are still on and _the room still smells of make-up and perspiration. Back stage, the stage crew is quickly vanishing behind the teasers, the set on stage is ready. In the foyer, the red light is on, in the auditorium the lights are gently dimming, all is silent, the performance is about to start. The actors appear, the play’ is on. The play is ‘The new tenant’ by Ionesco and the group presenting it is ‘the noon hour drama,’ of the creative arts board, under the direction of Maurice Evans. The story starts simply enough as we are introduced to a rather severe looking gentleman, played by Joe\Attard, who is busy looking over an empty flat that he has just rented. His inspection of ‘the room is almost1 obsessive, and mechanically thorough, while he is so totally immerged in measuring up the room, the caretaker, and old lady that is totally devoted to knowing the world’s affairs, keeps bombarding him with gossip and questions. Debbie Doran,, as the caretaker, does a beautiful job,.as she portrays the charater in all reality. The moment she leaves the/ stage you can start sensing that something is going to happen, and Ionesco’s asburdities take over. The gentleman has hired two movers, to have all his furniture brought into the flat. Slowly, the stage is submerged by the most absurd collection of used furniture and garbage as the gentleman, with natural calmness directs the. two astonished movers as they continue to bring in more and more old furniture. The gentleman in his bizare ,way has collected and kept everything he has ever used.

CATCH-22 The job of capturing catch 22 in ‘a f il m would be an arduous task no matter who attempted it - the subtlety of nuance and sheer complexity of Heller’s novel defy any simple adaptation. It is in this light that director Mike Nichol’s -(The Graduate) interpretation must be evaluated. As such Nichols comes up with an intriguing, shocking achievement which exhibits certain expected defeats. As a strong anti-war advertisement with graphic detail CM& 22 is a success. Skilful1 use is made of filming and recording techniques to enhance and force home the cold, mechanical, inhuman nature of the war process. Shock is used repeatedly to sting our complacency and distance, generally through a display of human guts. Scenes like Hungry Joe’s death and Snowden’s exit achieve their purpose in a blantant, repulsive fashion. Two major themes are explored in great detail. The notorious Catch .22 with its elusive power of personal salvation continually frustrates Yossarian’s bid to find a way out of the war. The catch exposes the truth of the equation of war and insanity in a bizarre fashion. The development of this notion is coordinate with the study of an unthinking administration which relishes the intricacies of this insanity. Much mileage is

this sea of garbage he -. Under -finally is trapped and his destiny is fullfilled; he will destroy his own world .for the things that he once used for his pleasure. Yet in a peculiar way the two movers are also part of this absurd reality as they walk in front of windows that are supposedly six floors high. They don’t reject the orders of the gentleman but try to please him in every way. They fail to see the absurdity of collecting and surrounding themselves with useless things ; they just go along with the inverted reality they never question. They only follow orders. Joe Attard, does a credible job. His acting is subtle but seems to always avoid . the spotlight and yet his personality controls the whole scene. Bill ,Lumley and Robbie’ Churchill as the ‘two. movers are funny and enjoyable although they tended at times to over-act and fall out of character. Their performance was .certainly well expressed within the. frame ,work of the play. The play has ended, the lights came on and you notice that the auditorium is empty. No one is clapping. Only Maurice Evans the director has been observing the performance. He comes down to the stage. The actors gather around. He starts to talk to them in clearcaptivating terms.’ He controls their attention and he makes them experienc,e the characters that they have to portray. The stage crew is back on stage readjusting the set. Evans gives, his actors one last observation and the rehearsal begins again. The actors are back being characters of a’ world of illusions. You can almost feel the expandingtension, as Evans once again tries to reach that impossible feat-to create but for one brief moment the illusion that reality is but a fantasy.

made of the intimacy of the army and business through the efforts of Milo Minderbinder (Jon Voight ) , portrayed as the epitome of the entrepreneurial spirit; Milo ‘s deals, ‘simple, helpful and harmless at first, mature into the ultimate insanity of his arranging for the bombing of his own airstrip simply because there is a buck to be made. In some senses Catch 22 is a failure, the ‘classic commit book’ takeoff on a major literary. achievement. Nichols definitely uses too many big names - Arkin, Voight, Wells, Benjamin, Newhart, Prentiss, Garfunkel, etc. which makes for a lack of subtlety and intimacy. His approach is also of detriment in that the film lacks a vital internal cohesion, presenting itself as so many semi-autonomous scenes. - when it is funny, it is blatantly funny and when its sad, its blatantly sad. The dualism of situations which Heller so skilfully employed is lost in the film; all to often it is a matter of the big scene, the big star and the big punch. 1. ‘Yet this is not to say that the film lacks merit. As an entity unto itself, Catch 22 is certain a worthwhile accomplishment. It is perhaps the most powerful statemtnt haps the most powerful statement about the nature of war produced recently, and as such it is eminently worth seeing.

Jennie Linden, Eleanor Brown and Glenda Jackson in scene from D.H. Lawrence’s Women. / in love, at the Waterloo Theatei. WOMEN

IN LOVE

The movie Women in love, presently playing at the Waterloo theater, is adapted from the book of the same title written by D. H. Lawrence. The movie begins by portraying two middle class women discussing sex and marriage while on their way to a wedding. Love, throughout the movie is sought after by all _ the players. But it is the industrialist, played by Oliver Reed, who points out that: “You can’t find love these days.” A truism that is probably muttered in every age. Everyone searches, not only for that elusive emotion, but also to discover the meaning of love. The two might be synonomous, so the players go through the lip-service of professing love in the hope that they are, and in that way will uncover love’s hidden meaning. There are many themes running through the movie, and the director by portraying the messages true to the book, has managed to capture the essence of what Lawrence was trying to say.

Think THE STRING

concerns itself with a society inhabited by veritable lunatics. At first it would seem that Rachel Wyatt’s allegorical tale is too farcical to bear any relation to real life, but as the story progresses the situations become more and more real. The principal character is one John Bogden Smith, ‘a radio serial wri‘ier. Smith finds himself drawn up into the upper echelon of society when his serial starts to achieve wide acclaim. He is eventually initiated into the top strata and given his string box. This box is used by members of the club (read upper class) to collect bits of string for the Indians to change into larger pieces The

It is John Bogden Smith’s badge and his password that opens all doors previously closed to him. All of us are familiar with like badges; badges of hair, blue jeans, saville row suits and muscle cars. Smith and others like him, inside the novel or out, is a perfect example of a positively reified personality.

MORNING-BOB

SUPREMESUBMARINE “The Superior One”

DYLAN

When I first heard that the title of the new D record was New morning I told myself - “Farout, Dylan has finally gotten out of his ‘current bag’ (which has dominated his life and poetry since 67) and is starting all over (‘morning’ is ‘beginning’ in D’s symbology)“. Then I got the record and dug Dylan’s pupils on the front cover and began to wonder. I looked at the back of the jacket and saw that New morning was in quotes. MOTHERFUCKER. After digging the cover If not for you came as no surprise. It’s D singing about his c.b. (I’d like to interpret every line of every poem on New morning for you but who would publish a 25 page Dylan review? So let’s do a little of each song.. . . . ) In If not for you D writes - “If not for you I’d lay awake all night” (the night is when D is in his c.b. for example - “Tonight I’ll be staying with you”; “To be with you at close of day” & many more. So thanks to D’s c.b. he can “Spend his whole life. sleeping” as he says while ghosting for The Band on Stage fright. ) “If not for you I’d wait for the morning light to shine thru” (If not for that ‘important component’ of D’s c.b. the truth - ‘light’ that he rapped about in the early part of his career ‘the morning’ - would appear in his poetry e.g. “shine like spoon” in Baby tonight on J. W.H. ) t The next cut, Day of the locusts, seems to be about the time D got that honorary degree at Princeton, but from previous experience I know that D’s poems are never what they seem to be. Altho I aint sure exactly what he’s saying in this poem I really dig it when D sings that line about the cat whose head was exploding cause he sounds like the old D - that great lifeforce - once again. Quite a change from Portrait which sounds like it was recorded in a funeral home with D singing from a sealed coffin. Wasnt Day of the locusts a book by Nathaniel West? Time passes slowly contains the ‘fish’ - ‘c.b.’ wild fish” (“Get the loot... metaphor - “Catch we’re gonna catch a trout”; “We aint doing much fishin” and is autobiographical - “Once I had a sweetheart” (the teenagers) who would idolize and follow - “stare” (e.g. ‘Up the stares ran Frankie Lee...” ) rock stars - “the stars high above” like D. Bob also says that he aint gonna Throw it all away - get out of his c.b. since “there aint no reason to go anywhere”. (D decided in 67 that He aint goin nowhere and was going to stay in that easy chair” altho, as Barbra Keith would ‘say on her MCM lp in a song to D in his own language “Sitting in that chair you are free to go nowhere.” We also get to hear some of D’s rightist political philosophy (“everything is always right when I’m alone with you” ; “The judge had the papers in of D’s his right hand” ; some of my interpretations earlier stuff hurt Dylan all over cause they “dont seem right”) when he says he’s “trying to stay right. ” This may strike you as kind of weird, but I think Went to see the gypsy is possibly about a visit I paid to D on a sunday (I went on sunday cause I knew it was one of D’s symbols for his c.b. For example there’s a rare tape called Medicine sunday or take the lines “Feed man chicken every Sunday” which D wrote while ghosting for Band or “Ape on Sunday” a chapter in Tarantula his unpublished novel etc. Like I’ll even enterpret myself). In The gypsy Dylan says I’m dumb - “His room was dark.” and full of spurious ideas like ending imperialism, racism, sexism etc. “. .and crowded” and I came on the scene with an attitude - “How are you he said...” (in Pos. 4th St. Dylan says the folkies had it in for him even tho they asked him,

when they met him’in person, “How are you, good luck.. . ” ) somewhat similar to D’s - “I said it right back to him” Eventually D came down to the lobby to rap - “I came down to the lobby to make a small call out” (the ‘telephone’ is the media in D. - “It’s you and me, and the telephone”; “You should be made to wear the telephone”-line from rare version of Mr. jones. Other artists are hip to this symbol and use it in songs putting down D for his c.b. Ochs-“I’ve only called to say I’m sorry”; Rush-“Cant say much in phone call..” To make a long story short D told me “not to come around THE house anymore” capitalist private proper bullshit and also symbolic since ‘house’ is ‘mind’ in D’s symbology. So what he said was “Take me as I am or Let me go”-STOP BEING A DYLANOLIGIST-“take ,a rest” as he said in the Rolling stone interview”. Anyway Bob goes on to deride and scorn my efforts to get him to see “the gypsy”-the people of the 3rd World (who are of ten drafted to commit genocide in S.E. Asia-“Gypsy Davey with his blow-torch he burns out their camps” ; who live in ghettos-“Gypsy gal the hinds of Harlem” and who occasionally have “civil rights bills” passed to “help them” which are never enforced-“With your gypsy hymns”. Despite D’s cynicism I still say ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE. In Winterlude D says he going to continue i‘squandering his resistence”-“Tonight there will be no quarreling everything’s gonna be right” for that ‘important component’ of his c.b.-“Come back and we’ll cook up a...” Yeah, I can see a bunch of Victorians waltzing to this tune.. . . Sign on the window contains some more of D’s politics-“Looks like nothing but rain, sure gonna be wet tonight on mainstreet’ (‘rain’ is ‘violence or war’ - Hard rain etc..so the shit is gonna hit the fan in .Amerika) The way D will deal with this is not by fighting side by side with the oppressed in their just struggle for freedom - as I intend to do - but by indulging himself in escapism-“Catch a trout” (‘fish’-c.b. ) But D does have second thoughts about being a reactionary...in The man in me he confesses> “Storm clouds raging round my door maybe I wont take it anymore.” One more weekend is a variation on the sundayc.b. metaphor and is the same old shit, D telling us how boss his c.b. is. The only noteworthy thing about this poem is that D admits that a lot of people are beginning to suspect what his c.b. really is“We’ll fly over the ocean just as they suspect” Somebody must be spreading THE RUMOR all over town. Who the fuck could it be? Three angles,, sung a la Elvis reminds my of Tiny montgomery because it’s list of bizzage images. (D even laughs a little when he sings the line about Montana) This riff and the last cut, Father of the night, lend a religious tinge to the disc. Bob often saves the last cut to lay a taste of what’s next on his listeners. ..although this wasn’t the case with Nashville skyline and Self portrait. Who knows what’s next? In a word, the music on this lp is “very 50’s, hip, cool West Coast synthezied” (Jim Brodey said that), the lyrics are the same c.b. Dylan, not really conservative but apolitical (A. J. Weberman said that) and if you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem (Eldridge Cleaver said that).

This piece is for those of you who were unfortunate enough to miss the november 3 edition of Weekday on the CBC, which featured a look at the doings of our very own philosophy department, and its proclivity to find excellence in non-Canadians in general, and graduates from Illinois in particular. The speakers included Bernard Suits (chairman of the department, and an unrepentant American), Leslie Armour (a full professor in the department, and a Canadian), the new dean of arts, Paul Cornell and three graduate students. The subject, as might be expected at a time when Canadians are beginning to awake from their long colonial sleep, was the takeover of Waterloo’s philosophy department by what is now known, almost affectionately, as the “Illinois Mafia”, a group of blameless individuals who, with the best will in the world, brought to Canada the very latest in american thinking on the enduring problems of the human condition. We all know by now that american liberals are*to be admired as people who don’t like the Vietnam war (they aren’t winning it), who don’t like “narrow nationalism” (they don’t like being shot at in their client countries), and who favour the idea that knowledge is universal (they don’t understand local institutions. ) Bernard Suits, as he spoke on Weekday, was the perfect spokesman for the liberal point of view. Indeed, his glib and articulate style ran into only one serious snag: After bragging that his department had in fact passed a motion favouring Canadians in future appointments he was asked by the CBC whether his department had not subsequently filled its-only vacancy with an Am-erican. His reply, with considerable uhming and ahing was : ‘ ‘The first person hired after the department arrived at this decision to emphasize the hiring of Canadians, which had not been done before, the first person to be hired as an american citizen, someone who had been born in America.” Otherwise, however, his cool was impeccable: For example : CBC: Is there such a thing as Canadian philosophy? Suits: I don’t think there is. I think philosophy is essentially international - different areas of the world have different philosophical viewpoints but I would be very doubtful . . . etc. (He goes on to explain that the English-speaking world has a common philosophical tradition. Or consider this: CBC: Do you believe that there has been any bias shown at all in the hiring procedures followed by this department? Suits: You’re asking whether I think there’s a bias shown to the hiring of Americans just because they are Americans? I don’t think so, I do not think so. CBC: Or a bias against Canadians? Suits: Or a bias against Canadians’ Neither one, in my opinion, No, I do not. CBC: Do you think it was just pure accident that this happened?

Suits: Yes I do. I do indeed. For the benefit of the uninitiatedit may be worth mentioning that the department of philosophy, with about twenty members, boasts a faculty population of two Canadians, neither of whom was hired lately. It also seems worth mentioning (as professor Armour did on the show) that when a Canadian, emminently qualified in terms of the usual academic criteria (publications, books, and positions held), was proposed last year, he received only one “first-choice” vote: Professor Armour’s. It would seem that in the philosophy department’s “search for excellence” a blind eye is turned to those people who might bring to the department a new perspective on truth or existence. The remarks of one of the graduate students, Betty Trott, are worth quoting at length. Graduate students, especially, will appreciate the courage it took to make them. And anger. Trott: I often want to ask myself, when are they going to teach me some Canadian philosophy. I get an overdose of american philosophy. I get analytical philosophy and logic till it’s coming out my ears. Nobody tells me about Watson, a canadian indealist: Nobody tells me about Bernard Lonigan’s book “Insight”. He’s a Canadian ; it’s a book ; it’s on philosophy. They had a conference in Florida a couple of years back on Bernard Lonigan’s philosophy. I get worried. I sort of think “Wait a minute, we’re here.” It’s not the Canadian style to stand up and wave and scream and shout -be the all-canadian guy and- the all-Canadian this, that, and the other thing. But somehow I want to say “Have you read our books? Have you read our material? Are you going to give me a course on Dr. Armour’s “The Concept of Truth,” “the Rational and the Real?” All Canadian: all philosophy: all first rate. This is disturbing to me. I feel the life style is different. I feel the attitude is different. The minute I sit in a chair and I talk to a (US) professor I get the ,feeling . . . that he’s coming to improve us, or better us, or help our country, and make us the greatest. Then I get the feeling that more than scholarly work is being given to me; that I am being subjected to an americanization culture kick, and I don’t like it. Needless to say, our various highly-paid philosopher-kings .( by which I mean the university fat-, ulty,) will dismiss Miss Trott’s remarks under one or more of the following catagories: (a) she is a chauvinist, racist and nationalist. (b) Her remarks were not properly annotated. (c) She has not yet achieved that cosmic sense of things which would lead her beyond her petty concerns. (d) She should have her mouth washed out with new improved Lux Liquid for saying those nasty things about those nice people in philosophy. And, as if Miss Trott’s remarks weren’t bad enough, this same show also contained the following remark by the infamous Leslie Armour: ‘ ‘We are now more or less a transplanted middle western american university; at least the arts faculty is,, anyway.”

by I.F. Stone The folio wing, origin ally titled “Strange for the young at Kent state”, is adapted Stone’s Bi-Weekly, Washington, november

lessons from I.F. 2.

ENT IS INDISTINGUISHABLE from hundreds of small towns between the Appalachians and the Rockies. The chief feature of the dreary urban landscape are the filling stations, America’s no. 1 offense against nature. The one modernistic building on Main street is a dark brown two-story hulk of a city hall whose forbidding windowless facade makes it look like a fortress jail. The only pathetic touch of antiquity is the red brick, virtually forgotten, railroad station, a relic of the 1890s; the one reminder on Main street of the troublesome present is a hippie dress shop, the Concrete Flamingo, its pastel facade a bright orange and yellow. There is a peace symbol on the door. The population is 26,000 and its sole link with the wicked world of the eastern press establishment, where loyal Americans may be led astray, is the drug store at Main and Water streets, which gets 10 copies of the New York Times a day and three Wall Street

Journals.

Where

it began

On the outskirts, spread across lowrolling hills, is Kent state university, its modern buildings and green sloping lawns a pleasant contrast to the down-at-the-heels town. Here the campus revolt against the Cambodian invasion began last may, forcing Nixon to withdraw. Here a new national battle has begun with a special Ohio grand jury report which, as expected, absolved the national guard and the Ohio authorities for the killing of four students and the wounding of nine others in that ,anti-war confrontation. The grand jury instead indicted 251 persons linked with the demonstration. Kent state university in its catalogue describes itself as “a dynamic institution of growing eminence.” The grand jury pictures Kent state as a hotbed of radicalism, anarchy and permissiveness. Some of the faculty, if the grand jury is to be believed, even “devote their entire class periods” to urging their students “openly to oppose” the government “to the point where one student who dared-to defend the American flag was ridiculed by the professor before his classmates.” The informer who brought in that tid-bit must have been breathless. Kent state is neither that dynamic nor that radical. It draws 85 percent of its student body from Ohio’s high schools without admission tests. Ohio’s expenditures per capita on education are among the lowest in the nation and not much above Mississippi’s. The cultural level is low. One young newspaper correspondent who has spent much of his time on the campus “rapping” with students since last may told me he had never met a Kent state student excited about a book. One faculty member described the student body as “the insurance salesmen of tomorrow. ” Any outside agitator drawn to Kent state by the glowing description in the grand jury report will be disappointed. This is a campus where you meet activists who never heard of The Nation or read the New Republic and students who think themselves avant garde because they read Times and Newsweek. “Most students,” said the Scranton commission report of the period before the may events, “were either conservative or apolitical.” A substantial portion still are. One girl activist described her dormitory mates to me as chiefly interested in the weekly “happy hour” each friday afternoon when the town’s dingy be,er joints

by Rod Such This analysis of the aftermath of the Kent state affair was adapted from “Repression hits hard at Kent state”, originally published in the Guardian, October 3 7.

NOTHER OUTRAGE has been perpetrated at Kent state university, symbol of government repression against the campus movement since the national guard murdered four students last may. Instead of finding fault with the national guard or the state officials, a special Ohio state grand jury has indicated 25 people connected with the campus . And, in the intimidating and repressive atmosphere of Kent, the student movement is caught in a delemma. While outrage against the latest travesty exists within the student community, it has proven impossible so far to translate this anger into mass struggle. The 16-page jury report exonerated the Ohio guard of any blame in the slayings, which occurred at the height of student protests against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. In direct conflict wit-h the eyewitness reports of students and the findings of the Scranton commission on campus unrest, which called the shootings “unwarranted and inexcusable,” the grand jury report .oct. 16 ruled that the protests may 4 “constituted a riot” and that the national guardsmen “fired their weapons in the honest and sin-

charge ten cents less per glass. To judge from despairing comment, the chief menace on campus is not radicalism but indifference. A more realistic and charitable view is that the war, the campus shootings and the one-sided grand jury report have succeeded in radicalizing a very substantial portion of the student body on one of the most politically backward campuses in the country. The surprise is not that there is still apathy and indifference. The surprise is that there is so much militancy, so much questioning, on a campus which draws its student body from the typical small towns of a typical midwestern state, from middle grade students with middle grade records too poor to enable them.to enter universities of more fame and qua-’ lity. The students who have been running the protest meetings and writing the angry editorials in the Kent Stater, the campus newspaper, are average Americans, neither geniuses nor freaks. The editor of the Kent Stater, the militant student daily, is a public relations major. One of the leading activists is in the business school, and when I asked him what course had particularly moved him, he told me he had been “turned on” by his professor of marketing! I spoke with as many students as I could in a two day visit. By the time I left I had a real feeling of respect and affection for the youngsters I had met and I understood how rewarding they could seem to their best teachers. I had the privilege of talking with a sociology class run by professor Thomas S. Lough, the only faculty member so far indicted by the grand jury, a man I had known when he worked for the arms control and disarmament agency in Washington. He is popular with the students because he is in sympathy with the best of them. Among those in the class were veterans of the Vietnam war radicalized by their experience and frustrated by their parents’ unwillingness to listen to them. Perhaps the most provoking passage in the grand jury report was its conclusion that “all the conditions that led to the may tragedy still exist,” that an “apathetic university community” has allowed “a vocal minority to seize control of the campus” and that this will continue until such time as the faculty and the students “take a strong stand against the radical element bent on violence.”

cere belief . . . that they would suffer serious bodily injury had they not done so. ” In addition to the indictments, which for the most part singled out political activists at Kent, including the president of the student body, and a former SDS organizer, the student movement at Kent also faced: two court injunctions prohibiting demonstrations or criticism of the grand jury report; a new, repressive state law providing punishment for anyone who creates a “substantial risk” of a campus disruption, stricter university regulations limiting the right to protest; and a right-wing bombing of a building that housed offices of. the black united students. So far 15 persons have been arrested and arraign, on charges that included- 1st degree-riot, 2nd deed gree riot, inciting to riot, arson and assault and with bail ranging from $1000 to $7900.

atmosphere

The grand jury kept its indictments secret until the arrests were actually made by the Portage county sheriff’s department. As a result, throughout the week, a “fugitive” atmosphere hung over the campus while the university community waited to hear of more arrests. Many students-hearing that they had been indicted, volunteered for arrest.- All were quickly released on small cash bonds with the exception of two students who are serving 20 to 40-year prison sentences on drug charges. ‘ The indictments stimulated anger among many

was “let’s make Kent state into a school of peace.” Nonviolence is the common theme of campus organizations. The school year opened this fall with a “Think week” organized around workshops voted to non-violent protest. , CraigMorgan, an ROTC cadet, was elected student president last June on a platform of non-violence with the slogan , “Power to the Peaceful, ” emphasizing political change through the ballot box and lobbying. His reward is an indictment under a statute tailor-made for repression. This statute provides a $1,000 fine or one year in jail or both for “second degree rioting.” This is defined as participating with four or more other conduct” with intent to do “a per&s in “tumultuous lawful act with unlawful force.” Until a bill of particulars is made public no one knows just what Morgan is accused of having, done. But the grand jury couldn’t have made a more inflammatory gesture than indicting the one studentleader who has done most to organize the campus against violence. It is important to build a national movement on and off the campuses to see that those indicted are riot raiIroaded to prison by the same crass political processes which created this one-sided special grand jury, and to demand that a federal grand jury be convened to deal with the may 4 shootings. NO country in a time of growing crisis ever saw a sillier, more meretricious campaign than Nixon and the Republicans are running against sin, smut and students.

Leading from a justice department summary of the ‘B-I findings, Young quoted this sensational passage to ire senate-

fabrication

Senator Young, reading from the same justice department summary, added that “One guardsmen admitted that his life was not in danger and that he fired indiscriminately into the crowd” and “further stated that the guardsmen had gotten together after the shooting and decided to fabricate the story that they were in danger of serious bodily harm or death from the students.” The day after the BeaconJournal called attention to Young’s speech it ran an interview with Seabury Ford, the 68-year-old chairman of the republican party in Portage county, who was one of three special prosecutors named by Governor Rhodes to handle the special grand jury which dealt with the campus shootings. He disclosed the spirit in which the grand jury was directed when he said the national guard “should have shot all the troublemakers. ” With agitators

The inflammatory reverberations on campus were intensified by the news that the state board of regents had named Ford to sit as “referee” at Kent state to try campus cases under the newly enacted and savagely repressive Ohio law “to control campus disorders, and to provide for the immediate suspension or dismissal of students and faculty, under certain circumstances. ” Ford promises to be the biggest time-bomb ever planted on any college campus.

The first effect of Ford’s vigilante-type statement was to lead a respected conservative member of the faculty, Glenn W. Frank, a professor of geology, to issue a blistering attack on Ford. -_ Judge Ford presided over the special grand jury and. when he released its findings he did so with an order forbidding any witness before it to comment in any way on the jury’s public presentment. Normally grand jury proceedings are secret but it is not normal for a judge to forbid comment on a grand jury presentment, especially when it is as highly controversial and damaging as this one. In effect judge Jones took it on himself to suspend first amendment rights. ’ On October 25 Frank issued a statement in which he said he had spent 17 years “teaching college students geology, a lust for life, and a respect for our laws and system. I speak now,” he went on, “in contempt of court, in contempt of the naive and stupid conclusions of the special grand jury, specifically as to their reasons for the may 4 disturbances, in contempt of judge Jones for the gag rules placed on’president White and in personal contempt for lawyer Ford for his lack of understanding after 68 years of what I believe is a wasted life.” . Professor Frank said, “There is no middle way any more. Ford is a trouble maker. It is my feeling that the republican party must smash the student uprising in Order to stay in power. Ford has made his statement in order to convince people who do not know the facts that he is a law and order man and will crack down on anyone who disagrees with the system he represents. ” “I am a law and order man,” professor Frank continued. “I think anyone guilty of riot charges should be prosecuted. I was between the ROTC building and the rioting individuals on may 2 and I know that some people deserve to be prosecuted. However,” he went on, “this should not allow a judge, a jury or a prosecutor to make what I consider to be a farce out of justice for their own gain or to gain favor with the voters. Freedom of speech is bigger than judge Jones. I defy judge Jones to arrest me for contempt of court because I cannot see a system I believe in and respect subverted by this man. ” We urge every campus in the country to circulate and support this brave challenge.

His indictment -and jury, one student

observed, because it “rallied the silent students who knew that he was not a radical.” The indictments had a clear political setting both within the framework of Ohio republican politics and nationally. Law and order campaigns locally were buttressed by president nixon’s act. 20 appearance in Columbus on behalf of sen. Robert Taft. Nixon repeated a refrain of Ohio political campaigns with his remark that “All over this country to-day, we see a rising tide of terrorism, of crime and on the campuses of our universities we have seen those who instead of engaging in peaceful dissent, engage in violence. ” Government repression of the student movements in Ohio has become more intense. The Ohio state legislature passed a measure in june providing for the suspension, fine and a jail term of any student or faculty member convicted of creating a “substantial risk” of campus disruption. Appeals can be made to hearing referee Seabury Ford, one of the special prosecutors for the state grand jury, who said act. 24 the national guard “should have shot all” the “troublemakers” last may. Describing the protests then as “communist inspired,” Ford stated: “Why didn’t the guard shoot more of them? ” Despite state repression, a student movement of considerable size remains active at Kent although it is hampered by liberalism and harassed by the university. Over 4000 persons gathered on the commons for a rally during a “civil liberties action day” rally act. 23. In previous days, rallies protesting the indictments drew upwards of 2000

and 3000 students. The university, however, took a new stance towards the assemblies, calling an act. 16 ralfry a “de facto disruption” which “should be so treated in the future.” The rally, sponsored by the youth international party and the Kent liberation front, was among the most peaceful the Kent campus had ever seen, several political activities reported.

Power

to the p.eaceful?

As fall classes began at Kent, the university called for a “think week” with the theme, “power to Nonviolence was exaggerated to the peaceful.” the point where even a sit-in was labelled a “violent” action in that it denied someone the right to enter a building or classroom. Even though much of the nonviolent emphasis was reportedly dismissed by students as a university ploy, the suggestion of a peaceful march to Ravenna, ending at the limits of the court injunction, could not gain uniSome students reportedly feared fied support. that such a march would lead to a “police riot” or that it would be disrupted by the “rednecks” in Ravenna. The predominant theme at the act. 23 rally was echoed by one speaker who said, “If you can just keep it together until nov. 3, that would be really good. Because they’re waiting for something to happen and we can’t afford to let some of those politicians get elected.” Only one speaker, Don Gurewitz, a national officer of the student mobilization committee, urged the movement to remain in the streets in active

opposition to the war and the indictments. “The rights under attack here,” he said, “are rights that are indispensable to american working people, indispensable to black people, Chicanos and Puerto Ricans in their fight for equality. They are rights that are indispensable to all the american people,” he said. “Arid we will defend those rights. We will take the indictments, ‘* he continued, ‘#and turn them right back on the Nixon administration and the whole rightward trend in this country and deal them a stunning blow. We can win, Snhe concluded.

Caught between the injunctions and the necessity to respond to the indictments, the student movement at Kent appeared to agree for now that the only actions available were the antiwar demonstration in nearby Columbus, and continued efforts to organize around six local demands for the abolition of ROTC and a university statement condemning the indictments, among others. The student mobilization committee and an alliance of the youth international party with the Kent liberation front continued to organize around the perspective that the indictments were a political response by the state to the student antiwar struggle and that the only way the struggle both against the war and for the Kent 25 could win was through continued activisim. “People can’t forget what happened here. It was Ken Hammond said, looking toright out there,” “and they see it and are rewards the commons, minded of it every day. I can’t forget it either.” I friday

During the past two weeks, recent events in Quebec have been receiving widespread coverage in american college and corrimunity papers. The chevron has noted reactions in the many american exchange papers it receives, including the University News, university -of Missouri (Kansas City), Workers’ Power (Detroit, Michigan), the New University from the university of California at livine and the Northern Iowan from the university of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls. In most cases, papers have been using copy provided from the college press service in Washington, which in. turn, has assimilated its articles with the direct assistance of the Canadian university press (CUP). Occassionally such copy has been supplemented with analysis written . by the individual newspaper, a case in point being the following article originally titled “quebec cries out”, published by the observer, an “alternative newsmedia project” at Bard college in N’ew York state. The author is Frank Montafia.

PROPER ANALYSIS of the developments in Canada during the past two weeks is important not only as it concerns Canada internally, but also to help achieve a greater understanding of the political situation in the U.S. All these developments stem from two specific acts, both of which must be examined and properly related to each other. The first was the kidnapping of two government bureaucrats by the Quebec Liberation Front (FLQ). The second was the nature of the response to these kidnappings by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s administration. Before examining the kidnappings it is necessary to understand the situation in Quebec and the FLQ. The Front for the Liberation of Quebec is a socialist revolutionary group, whose goal is the establishment of Quebec as an independent nationstate. First organised in 1963, the Front believes tha’t with over 80 percent of Quebec’s population i\t should exist independently speaking French, from English and U.S. dominated Canada, first to control her own destiny, and second to end the economic exploitation of the french speaking population.

Economic

facts

Examining the economic facts of life of Quebec shows how these people are being exploited and subsequently what caused the creation of a liberation movement. Foreign capital owns 80 percent of Quebec’s economy, and of this 60 percent is american-owned. The people of Quebec exist as a reserve force of cheap labor for ,american capitalism. They receive 20 percent lower wages than the average english worker in neighboring Ontario, and 30 per cent lower than the american worker. These facts and figures illustrate the economic nature of the Quebec&’ explbi&tion, but do not indicate tbs cultural castration that stems from the economic. This economic control of the people and the land by american and anglo-canad ian corporations thoroughly destroys any natural culture of the Quebec people. A ~look at the companies these people work for reveals this. They work in factories of general electric, general motors, general dynamics, dupont, Seagram’s; they mine iron ore and copper for noranda mines, aluminum for alcan, and they forest quebec’s timber for gebrgiapacific. In other words, they not only do their work for american and anglo-Canadian companies, they are depleting their own natural resources for these companies. Seen in this light the FLQ is a group of working people in Quebec who are committed to doing everything they can for, the people of Quebec. They believe that the only way to achieve this is a complete separation/ from Canada.

Kidnappings This brings us to the kidnappings of british trade representative James Cross and quebec’s

minister of labor Pierre Laporte. This was a tactical move by the Front so they could bargain from a position of strength. The basic demand of the Front was the release of 23 political prisoners (some of them front members ). There are two significant facts here. First, the existence of political prisoners means that there had been previous repression waged against liberation movements in Quebec by the government. And second, it was no accident, that the Front picked Laporte as a target for kidnapping. As labor minister he was a despised figure who stymied the interests of quebec’s working class movements, a man who had done nothing to stave off unemployment and misery, and a man who worked for the \ English. He was logical target because thousands of Quebecois had suffered under the provincial government’s anti-labor position and its frequently violent strike-breaking. After the kidnapping and after the FLQ had made its demands known, prime minister Trudeau made almost no attempt at bargaining with the Front, but instead resorted to massive repression to deal with the situation. Through Canada’s war measures act, Trudeau invoked emergency ! wartime powers which in effect outlawed the FLQ. These extraordinary provisions empowered the police to make searches and arre_sts without warrants and provide 5 years in prison for anyone even assisting the Front. What this has meant is the mobilization of 10,000 police and army and the creation of a police state in Quebec.

Police

state

The police and military started indiscriminate mass arrests aimed at anyone even remotely connected with the Front. To date there have been over 400 people placed in jail with no charges stated, no bail set, and no communication aliowed. Among those arrested there is a wide spectru’m of politics ranging from the moderate to the left. This type response by Trudeau is excessive for just dealing with the kidnapping, and it indicates his intentions. These are not merely to resolve the immediate problem but to completely eliminate the Front and destroy the liberation movement in Quebec. The magnitude o’f his measures and the fact, that the war measures act was instituted for a period of six, months bears this out. To quote the N.Y. Times: “The Canadian house of commons voted overwhelmingly today to support PM Trudeau’s proclamation invoking wartime powers to crush the terrorist Front for the l+iberation of Quebec.”

Lesson

of repression

These developments are necessary to understand for two reasons. First it is important to create and maintain a solidarity between the american movement and this liberation struggle in Quebec. And second, understanding the nature of the repression in Quebec, is helpful in determining how repression will be escalated here. The obvious and most important fact in completing this analysis is that this massive widespread repression (worse than any yet seen in the US) has come out of the liberal establishment. Trudeau and his administration are not the hard line conservative type like the Nixon-Agnew team. Canada has relaxed laws on marijuana and just recently recognized the people’s republic of China. This cultural and political progressiveness means absolutely nothing when the Canadian government was posed with a serious and legitimate threat by a revolutionary socilist movement. This is a lesson for americans/ who feel that the liberal element can and will reform the problems of this society. When repression comes it can come from the liberals or conservatives, from the Kennedys just as easily as from the Nixons. The proper course is to realize this and build support and strength to deal with it when it does come.

The Banguet

Y Nheater t

of Trimalchio

The first course is brought in, which could not be more splendid. On a tray of relishes stood a small figure of an ass in Corinthian bronze, carrying twin baskets, one of which contained green and the other black olives. On the back of the animal were two silver dishes-their rims engraved with the name of Trimalchio and the weight of the metal. Salvers, moulded like bridges, contained dormice, seasoned with honey and poppy seeds. There -were also sizzling sausages on a silver gridiron with Syrian plums and pomegranate seeds placed beneath it. A tray was placed before us containing a basket in which there was a hen, carved out of wood, wings spread out as if she were sitting. Up stepped two slaves and, after rummaging in the straw, took out pea-fowls’ eggs, distributing them among the guests. I am afraid they might have been already hatched, but let us see if they are still edible. For the purpose of eating these eggs, spoons weighing at least half a pound each were handed to us and we broke the eggs, which were made of light pastry and looking exactly like the shell. I was just about to throw away the one which was served to-me, as I thought it was addled and had become a chicken already, when one of the guests, who was an old hand at these tricks, stopped me: “There is something it it,” said he. I then looked in the shell and found a fine, plump garden-warbler in it, deliciously spiced, hidden inside the yolk. Crystal flagons, carefully sealed, were brought in. Around the neck of each bottle hung a label opimian wine 100 years worded thus : “Falernian old”. While we were tippling the slaves spread coverings on our couches which had hunters with their hunting spears, in fact the whole hunting scene, embroidered on them. We did not as yet know what this meant when suddenly a great noise was heard outside and laconian hounds rushed into the room and began running around the table. They were followed by a platter on which lay the most enormous wild boar. On its heat was perched a cap of a freed slave; on his tusks hung down two baskets lined with palm leaves, one was filled with Syrian dates, the other with theban dates.

Pigs of pastry Little sucking-pigs, made of pastry and baked in the oven, surrounded the animal as if they were pressing on the teats, thus giving the guests enough indication to see that it was a breeding sow that was served to them. The guests to whom these were offered had permission to take them \ away. Drawing his hunting knife, a slave gave the wild boar a great stab in the belly and suddenly, from the opening in the animal’s side, flew out thrushes. Vainly the birds tried to escape, flying round and round the room: bird-catchers provided with fowlers’ rods instantly caught them and by order of their master offered one to each guest. Then Trimalchio said : “Just look if this glutton hasn’t swallowed all the acorns in the forest”. Immediately, the slaves ran to the baskets hanging from the animal’s tusks and distributed to us equal portions of Syrian and theban dates.

Choice

of three

When the table had been cleared, in time to music, we saw three white pigs, muzzled and adorned with little bells, enter the room. The slave who was driving them told us that one of them was two

years old, the other three, and the third was six years old. I for one thought that these pigs which were brought in were those acrobatic pigs that have been seen in the circuses and that we were about to be shown some extraordinary trick. But Trimalchio dispelled out speculations: “Which of the three”, asked he, “would you like to eat? It will be prepared for you at once. CounI try cooks cook a chicken, a pheasant or some other suchlike kickshaws but mine will boil a whole pig all at once. Call the cook! ” And without giving us the embarrassment of having to make a choice, he ordered the oldest pig to be slaughtered. Trimalchio, turning to us with a gracious expression, said : “If this wine is not to your taste, I shall have it replaced by another. Thanks to the favour of the gods I do not have to buy it, for all that flatters your taste is grown on my estate, which I have not visited yet. I am told it is somewhere around Tarracina and Tarentum. Now I feel like joining Sicily to some of my property so that if I ever fancy going to Africa, I shall be able to do so without leaving my estate. ”

Table

of pig

Trimalchio was still rambling on, when an e‘normous pig was served to us on a tray which took up a great part of the table. The guests expressed their wonder at the rapidity with which the cook worked: each swore that any other cook would take longer just to prepare a fowl, and what increased our astonishment even further was the fact that the pig seemed to us even bigger than the wild boar which had been served to us earlier. In the meantime Trimalchio, examining the animal very closely, said: “What do I see here? This pig has not been cleaned. No, to be sure, it has not been gutted. Bring the cook here at once.”

What

to do?

The poor devil approached the table, trembling, and owned that he had forgotten. “What! Forgotten! ” cried Trimalchio in a great fury. “Wouldn’t one think, from the way he speaks, that he has merely neglected to season it with pepper and cummin ? Off with your clothes, knave ! ” Immediately the culprit’s clothes were stripped off, knd he stood between two torturers. His downcast and pitiful look softened the hearts of all those present and each one of us hastened to plead for mercy. “Such things do happen”, said we, “We beg you to pardon him this, time, but should he ever do this again, not one of us will intercede for him! ” I could not help regarding such negligence with much harsher severity and, leaning towards Agamemnon, I whispered in his ear: “This slave must be a real fool! Forgetting to clean out a pig! By all the gods! I wouldn’t let him off if he so much as forgot to clean out a fish! ” Trimalchio was not of the same opinion, for he suddenly made a decision. “Well”, said he, laughing, “since your memory is so poor, gut the pig here and now, before us”. The cook put on his tunic again, seized a knife, and with a trembling hand slashed the animal’s paunch in several places, and out of these slits, which kept widening owing to the pressure of the weight inside, black puddings and sausages began to pour forth. At the sight of this unexpected feat all the guests began to applaud and shout, “Vivat Gaius! ” The cook was given the privilege of drinking in our presence and he received a silver crown.

Universities

still elifist

Universities still remain elitist and class institutions which are supposed to train the future managers and executives of the capitalist economy. Wi5h this kind of background it is important to take a close look at the few figures available to measure the characteristics of the present university student population. No data on this subject have ever been compiled openly by Canadian universities, for an integral part of the university’s self-image is to discount any suggestion of its own class nature and to preserve the myth

of the scholarly community. In the first place, only a small percentage of Canadian youth ever reach university. In Ontario, in the last decade, the percentage of youth in the 18-21 age bracket reaching university has jumped from 8.4% in 1956 to 16.5% in 1968. In the United States in 1968 one- out of every three young people that age attended university. Secondly, the composition of university populations is heavily weighted towards the middle and upper classes income brackets. A 1966 survey showed that less than 28% of university stu-

organ dents came from families earning $5,000 or less per year, although more than half the Canadian population falls in this bracket,. In contrast, while only 6.1% of Canadian families earned over $10,000 a year in 1966. more than 25% of university students came from families in this bracket. In its composition, in its work of research and teaching, and in its preparation of students to fit neatly into Canadian society, the university has always served as a major bulwark of the prevailing social order.

Action

from

the field

Well powder puff football is all over for another year. Lots of fun, exercise and bruises were had by all. The real winner of last week’s final game was Phys. Ed, who successfully defended their crown in a very tense match with Notre Dame. Village 2-W and St. Pauls finished third and fourth respectively. St. Jeromes is number 1 ! This is what everyone except Renison College; was shouting last thursday night at seagram stadium moments after St. Jeromes had won the flag football championship. They handed Renison perhaps their biggest setback in the colleges’ history defeating them 31-O. Bob- Stevenson supplied the majority of the St. Jeromes offensive power with 2 touchdowns, kicked’ 4 singles and converted 3 of the 4 touchdowns scored. MacDonell, St. Jeromes fullback, completed the scoring with his two touchdown effort. St. Jeromes defense also contributed greatly to the win, particularly by stopping Renison twice within their 5 yd. line. Gadula the deep safety also intercepted 2 of Pat Drohan’s passes to stall the Renison offensive drive. The win gave St. Jeromes their second championship this week. Wednesday night they defeated Vl-N in Rugger 5-O. Rick Ciupa scored the only try of the game and Bob Stevenson converted. Upper Eng was victorious in winning the Vinnicombe cup for lacrosse supremacy, defeating Co-op 11-10. Co-op took an early 6-l lead but by half time had a narrow 7-6 edge. Upper Eng moved ahead 11-7 and Co-op was unable to overcome the margin. Ziggy Musial netted 6 goals for the Engineers and managed to control the play to a large extent. The men’s competitive soccer championships ended on a very surprising note with VB-SE defeating the unbeaten Grad team 9-2. The village team received the MacKay Bowl signifying the fall soccer championship. In basketball the race for the Condon Cup is still very tight. Five teams are still undefeated but with St. Jeromes having the best points for and against total at 161 to 49. Science is second at 130-82, St. Pauls li3-61, Env. Studies 92-66 and V2-NW .72-50. Watch -for that game on monday night when St. Jeromes play St. Pauls. It could be an indicator of our fall champion ! The hockey battle still goes on with few teams showing any weaknesses. Our Grads have a 3

wins 0 loss record which is best for the league. But we are not counting out Upper Eng who have looked very powerful and won both of the two games they have played to date. Although there are eighteen teams doing battle in three leagues at two rinks in the Twin Cities, there is a decided lack of information on the results of these games. Being a dedicated sports writer, I have undertaken to find out some of the scores. In the A league the kleen sweepe are still out in front by virtue of their narrow 2-l win over the Gremlins. The B league has seen quite a few defaults but the Furri Freaks advanced with a 9-l win over their opposition. Scoreless draws are the thing in the C division and the jocks kept up the pace with a scoreless draw with St. Pauls. Credit must be given to Ace who played a great game in the nets for the jocks despite a run down condition. Meanwhile the Aardvraks defaulted to the Tartans, because their landlady threw out their brooms. Despite an incomplete list of the scorers, it is safe to say that the leading goal getter continues to be Laurie Burke with five goals. If anyone’ has any information about league play, please drop it in to the sports desk.

On Saturday, november 7, 1970, the University of Waterloo hosted the first Annual Mixed Invitational Intercollegiate Curling Bonspiel at the Glenbrier Curling Club in Waterloo. The day was heralded a great success and a lot of fun by all the participants in the bonspiel. After the three curling games were over the curlers enjoyed a delicious hot buffet meal with special guests Dr. and Mrs. B. C. Mathews in attendance. The president of the University donated the President’s Trophy for this first Mixed Bonspiel ever held by a University. In the bonspiel itself, Tom Blackwell’s York University rink of Shirley Thomas, Tom Kane and Joyce Whitehead defeated Mark Schacter’s IJniversity of Waterloo rink consisting of Barb Dowler, Cliff Ball and Louise Lee 7-6 to complete a three game sweep and win the President’s Trophy. The other three game winner and runner-up in the bonspiel was the University of Waterloo rink skipped by Wayne Steski with Robin Preece, Peter Finch and Jane Steski. The high two game winner was the University of Waterloo rink skipped by Mr. Mark Schacter and the high one game winner was the Royal Military College rink skipped by Bruce Rutherford with Kathy Misener (U of W), Craig Mackik (R.M.C.) and Janet Biggs (U of W. 1.

yers get dumped

University of Western is proving to be the power of the league in volleyball this season. After two tournaments they have a -record of 14 wins and 2 losses. University of Waterloo started off well for a last place team and defeated the Western team last week but got stalled on Saturday by not winning a game. Coach Baycroft is still confident of some fine play by his team and chalks- up the tournament losses to inexperience in good competition. Uniwat’s team is still the youngest in experience with only three players with more than two years of competitive experience. Look for some positive results at MacMaster this week in the third of. four league tournaments. The following is a look at the standings after two of the tournaments: Team Western Toronto Guelph MacMaster Uniwat

They’ve done it again ! Waterloo “Wanderers” Orienteering Club has preserved its untarnished record. At the Intervarsity Invitational Orienteering Meet sponsored by the University of Guelph, several Wanderers got so lost that they arrived at the finish half an hour after the timer had left. In spite of this rather characteristic finish, coach Gerrie Baycroft’s Wanderers did manage to place third out of three teams in the men’s event and second out of two in the women’s (Guelph won both). Unfortunately, two men’s team members were carried away by the beautiful weather and nearly ruined an otherwise consistent

This weekend the Warrior basketball team hosts the junior varsity team from Niagara Uni. versity in the Excited States. The weekend will feature two games, friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m., with open practice sessions being held at lo:30 Saturday and sunday mornings. The games should prove to be a good first test. for this year’s warriors. Niagara had one of the best junior varsity teams in their nation last year, with a 23-l re- ’ cord. They are not as tall as last year (their seven-footer has graduated) but their front office assures us that they have outstanding speed this year to make up for it. That should prove interesting as the warrior coach, Mike Lavelle, feels that speed is one of the main fortes of the Waterloo team. Warriors expect big performances from Jaan Laaniste, who 1 has been shooting forty-five per cent in the scrimmages to date, and from newcomers Dave Bigness and Steve Ignativicus and Ernie Hehn, who has been the leading rebounder and strongest all-round player in previous scrimmages. \ The scrimmages with Niagara are to be treated as a game with real live officials. Both night’s games start at 8 pm and will be in the main gym.

Set sights

on Nationals

Overall the team hopes to improve on its 5-5 record of last year and move up the ladder at the OQAA meet. This year the challenge of gaining a place on the OQAA team to go the National Championships has a larger motivational force as the meet will be held at Waterloo. There \are only 25 positions available on this team and they may finish as high as fourth in an individual event yet not go to the nationals. It is hoped that when the meet begins on February 25, Waterloo will be represented by several competitors. Once again the team will be running its fans in the stands contests. When a spectator comes to a meet he picks up a number at the door. Before the final event a number is drawn and the lucky winner receives a free bathing suit. “There is nothing more encouraging to the team than having that gallery full at a meet” and each year interest and enthusiasm has grown. If you have missed one of the most colourful and exciting events on our campus and this years schedule promises to be one of the best.

Waterloo,

pass and run play between Crosby and Don Manahan produced six for the Warriors. Again a poor snap stopped the Waterloo team from adding the convert. This brought the Warriors to within the converted touchdown and the action that followed showed that Queens knew it. Wakefield kicked off and the Queens running game again went into action and moved the ball from their own ten to the Waterloo thirty in ten plays. Lillies then scored his touchdown of the game as he ran the final thirty yards to paydirt. The convert by Cozac made the final score 20-6. Stastically the game was close with the Warriors having a wide margin in the passing department and the Gaels compensating with their running game. It is interesting to note that Queens realizing that our pass defence was excellent went with a split end for the first time this season, and still couldn’t get the necessary yards. Their running game in the second half consisted mostly of intricate trap plays that kept the Warriors off guard. The Queens team looked good in this game and for that matter in all their games this season except their loss at Varsity Stadium. With such a steady offense it seems they will win it all unless someone comes up with a defence that can stop their power running. An interesting note after the game was a remark from the Queens team, They said that Waterloo had the toughest defence they had come across and couldn’t understand why we were -on the bottom. rV

Waterloo’s often slighted football squad began last Saturday’s game in Kingston, with the hope of atoning for past mistakes and upsetting Queen’s drive for the Yates cup. But for some costly errors in the first half this might have come about. Instead they came out on the short side of a 20-6 decision. Thus came to an end, one of the most frustrating and dismal seasons on record for the Warriors. By virtue of their six and one record the Queens team now make ready for the trip to Winnipeg where they will meet the University of Manitoba Bisons for the right to meet the eastern champion in next weeks College Bowl. The Bluenose champion will be decided this Saturday in Halifax when the Ottawa GeeGees meet the University of New Brunswick Red Bombers in the Atlantic Bowl. The Queens game emphasized gain many of the already apparent problems with the Warriors this year. In the first half the defence held the Gaels with a stubborn pass defense and stopped up their running game. Our offence moved into scoring territory twice only to see a field goal attempt stopped by a poor snap and a touchdown drive throttled by a fumble. The only point of the half was scored by Mike, Lambros the Queens punter who angled a single into the corner of the end zone, just before the gun. The second half saw a switch in the game plan of Queens. They were never noted for their pass attack and upon finding out that Waterloo was equal to their efforts resorted to a strict running game. The power running of Lilles and Warrender was enough as these two generated a consistent offense that was able to score 19 points in the final thirty minutes. Queens scored early in the half when Lillies ran 70 yards up the side lines to set up a touchdown plunge by quarterback Arthur Rochette. . A McLellan 31 yard runback of the ensuing kickoff went for nought, and when Queens got the ball back they pounded the Waterloo line and moved the ball to the Warrior one. Warrender went over from there to give Queens a comfortable 13-O lead. The quarter ended with the Warrior defence successfully stopping another Queens touchdown try when Lillie on his third try from in close, coughed up the ball and Jim Manske recovered for the Warriors. The fourth quarter started with the Warriors contained deep in their own end zone. But a 94 yard

744-9201

In what can or- ‘7 be termed an upset victory tl harriers of Western, led by the strong running of Grant McLaren and a gutsy performance by teammate Chris Bolter upset the favoured University of Toronto, to win the 0-QAA cross country finals held last weekend at Guelph. First place went to McLaren as many of the favourites had off days and finished well down in the - standings compared with earlier competitions. Top finisher for the Warriors was Paul Pearson in fifth position with the rest of his team back in the pack. Although McLaren and Bolterboth finished in the top five, it was the poor showings of the quality runners from the other teams

which helped them to their championship. Examples of this were Richie Pyne of Varsity who finished well out of the, top ten, the poor eighth that Dave Bailey contributed and the poor showings of most of the Waterloo squad. The final team standings showed Western winning with fortythree points, eleven points in front of second place Toronto, and Waterloo in fourth place five points behind the University of Guelph. The course at Guelph was long and rugged and maybe the toughest the teams have or will face. Anyway it’s off to Vancouver for Western where they will face the best of Canada tomorrow in the National Championships.

Replacement by David

for phosphates

Sturgeon

The Globe and Mail

Now that phosphate-containing detergents are being gradually eliminated because of their role in water pollution, the question is, what will replace them? It is an important question because it raises another one: will the replacements be any less harmful to the environment, or will they be more so? The urgency of the matter was underlined by a recent statement of resources minister J. J. Greene. He told the commons that the deadline for total removal of phosphates from detergents may be made sooner than previously announced, in view of the industry’s apparent success in its search for phospahte-free formulas. He noted that some manufacturers have taken full-page ads to announce they have achieved total removal of phosphates from detergents, and added: “We are reviewing the matter to see whether or not the jan. 1, 1972, date can be brought forward.”

Likely

replacement

The most likely replacement for phosphates in detergents in nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA). An article in chemical and engineering news (a publication of the american chemical society) said in august: “NTA comes close to being the detergent industry’s equivalent of the only game in town. ” At the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in October, Howard J. Morgens, president of the Procter and gamble co., said P&G has already ordered more than $150,000,000 worth of one substitute material. That substitute material is almost certainly NTA. Chemical and engineering news said P&G “has committed itself to replacing 25 per cent of the phosphates in its detergents with NAT.” It also said lever brothers has made commitmentsto purchase substantial quantities of NTA and that plants producing the substance are vastly increasing their capacities. NTA is not the only substance being sought as a substitute for phosphates : Colgate-Palmolive is said to be holding back until it is proved safe, and chemicals known as polyelectrolytes are being investigated by some firms., One U.S. firm, deSoto inc., has developed a new product said to contain “no phospahtes, no NTA, and no other materials believed to be pollutants.” Other firms are trying to find substitutes for the constituents of detergents known as surfactants (phosphates are known as builders). Nevertheless, most of the bets right now are on NTA to replace phosphates, and if NTA is used in this way, large quantities of the material will be dumped into north american water systems, some of it finding its way into the water we drink. What will be the effect of this?

Unsettling

questions

Unfortunately, nobody is sure, and some are concerned by what they know about NTA. Dr. Samuel S. Epstein, chief of the laboratories of environmental toxicology and carcinogenesis at the children’s cancer research foundation, inc., in Boston, outlined some of these in testimony before a Senate subcommittee on air and water pollution last may. “There are some unsettling questions concerning NTA that have not yet been answered,” he said in a recent article in environment based on his senate testimony. “ .. .Two-year feeding studies in rats seem to have demonstrated that NTA does not cause cancer. However, increased mortality was noted in male rats, and kidney damage occurred in male and female rats at the higher dosages tested. Additionally, zinc levels in bone and excretion in urine were markedly increased. The significance of these findings has not yet been adequately evaluated. No toxicity or metabolic studies of any kind have been made on heavy metal chelateS

NTA.

”

NTA is what chemists call a chelating agent. Tha. means it can lock up metal ions that are free or on the, surface of metal casings, and carry them into solution. “If high concentrations of NTA were to be used in detergent ‘products, metal chelates might be formed in domestic wasing machines, plumbing systems, sewage pumps, in sewage, particularly in septic tanks where biodegradation is limited, and in lake sediments,‘? Dr. Epstein said. “Additionally, NTA may dissolve and mobilize heavy metals, such as mercury, from lake sediments. This poses a question of the biological safety of the various chelates as environmental factors and as contaminants of drinking water. On the other hand, if the chelates were degraded in re-

ceiving waters they might liberate free metals, including lead, mercury, iron, arsenic, zinc, and implications copper, with obvious toxicological both to fish and to man.” Still other problems with NTA is the possibility that it could produce substances called nitrosamines during its breakdown, Dr. Epstein contends. Most nitrosamines are cancer-causing in a wide range of organs of various species at very low doses, and some have been shown capable of causing mutations and damage to developing embryos. Dr. P. H. Jones, professor of civil engineering, associate professor of mitirobiology and .vicechairman of the environmental sciences and engineering-program at the University of Toronto, disagrees with some of Dr. Epstein’s views. He contends, for example, that experience in Sweden and to a more limited extent in Canada has shown that NTA-based detergents, if property formulated, will have no more corrosive effect on washing machines than phosphates. He also contends that NTA will carry no more heavy metals than phosphates do, and that it will lose its chelating properties in normal secondary sewage treatment \ plants. (Dr. Jones was involved in the development of a detergent that uses NTA among its ingredients, but it is not yet on the market, being under test for environmen ta1 effects).

pounds 30 King St. W.

The fact remains that NTA, which has been tested for some years in Sweden, has not yet shown itself to be sufficiently-free from environmental effects for the Swedes to want to replace all other detergent formulations with it. And. as Dr. Epstein says : “There simply is not enough known about NTA to comfortably dump up to two billion pounds of it into the nation’s waterways annually.” Even Monsanto Co. the biggest U.S. producer of NTA (which also produces phospahtes), has said through a spokesman :/ “Caution is urged in changing the exposure levels in the environment from a few thousand pounds per year to a few billion pounds per year. There is always that unforseen ecological interaction that could be distrupted; causing another severe stress upon the ecosystem. Close monitoring is advisable as the NTA usage level rises. ” What then is to be done? Should we all go back to using soap instead of detergents? Such a solution might be possible from the standpoint of cleanliness, for if the water used is sufficiently soft, soap will clean acceptably well, at least in the laundry. The trouble is there just would not be enough soap to%go around. Says chemical and engineering news: “Hard water was only one of the reasons.. ~that the soap industry went all-out to develop synthetic detergents. Another, equally compelling reason was the increasing competition with the food and feed industries for a limited supply of natural fats and oils. . “William C. Krumrei of Procter and gamble points out that current annual tallow production is about five billion pounds per year. To produce soap to satisfy the needs of this country would require more than half this supply, thereby providing a serious interruptionin the food supply of humans and animal, he (Mr. Krumrei) asserts.

Soap

production

“One may question the completeness of Mr. Krumrei’s statistics-tallow is but one of many natural fats and oils-but as a generalization his point is well taken. With most of the world more concerned about malnutrition than about eutrophication, solving the phosphate problem at the expense of the world’s food supply is not going to be acceptable. Whether phospahtes disappear or not from detergents, it’s unlikely that soap will rise again. ’ ’ So there we have it. The introduction of synthetic detergents solved one problem but created another. Technology made Johnny’s clothes cleaner and the rivers and lakes dirtier. Yet technology cannot be blamed as the primary cause. In the 1940’s, as now, one of the major factors involved was the tremendous growth in world population. It is easy to rail at mindless technology ,and industrial greed for the world’s current ills, but it is not very helpful, nor entirely accurate. A less simple-minded approach is going to be needed to solve future problems.

APOLOGY The Ukrainian students club executive wishes to clarify any misunderstanding that may have occurred as a result of the ’ notice in last friday’s Gazette concerning the dance at the village 2 great hall. This dance was planned as a closed event for the conference delegates and members. It was then booked and licenced as such; but was publicized otherwise. Representatives from the executive said “we humbly apologize for the mix-up in our advertising and hope the people we had to turn away can forgive us, for we really had no choice.”

Silent majority becomes noisy

We of the so-called “silent majority” should become the “noisy majority” before it’s too late. We must demonstrate vocally, by letters or any other means that, as true Canadians, we are in favor of any action taken by our leaders to eliminate the cancerous FLQ murderers and their sympathizers. Even today (as appeared in the Toronto globe and mail) a new group of revolutionary sympathizers have formed themselves into an organization known as “Citizens for Canadian democracy.” Their policy is to “demand the withdraw1 of the war measures act and to oppose any new repressive legislation”. Then there is the display by some naive politicians in the ’ house of commons who appear more interested in playing politics than acting as sincere canadians at a time of national crisis. These gentlemen were so aptly described in a letter to the Toronto globe and mail by poet Irving Layton as ‘boobs, y windbags,, and second raters no f fit to tie the laces of his (Trudeau) skiboots”. We must get with it.Get noisylet us hear from the veterans, union members and other loyal Canadians. Demonstrate your support to rid our country of this scum that would destroy us. ’ G. DAVIS islington, ont. Declaration shows arab

propaganda hypocracy

Among the propaganda and malicious leaflets distributed by Arabs’ against Israel, the recent one that strikes me as most hypocritical is the leaflet posted around campus calling for Israel to live up to the terms of the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Not only have Arabs always totally rejected this declaration, but they also denounced the much more serious U.N. Resolution of Partition of Israel and Palestine of 1947. Why then the hypocrisy of referring to such sources at all? Israel’s constitution guarantees equal rights to all citizens of Israel” including Arabs. In this, Israel has never failed in spite of its war with the surrounding Arab nations. Arab Moslems enjoy full representation in Parliament as do Jews, and their religious and cultural freedom is protected. Can Arabs say the same for the rights of Jews in Arab lands? The continuing persecution and eviction of Jews in Arab lands such as the recent confiscation of Jewish property in Libya do not point in that direction. When Arabs speak for humanity, they must do so for all people, not only for Arabs. JACOB PADRO research as.sociate, mech. eng

The overwhelming frustration and rage: everywhere felt, the sickening vogue of violence, the anguish of the cities, the era osion of responsibility in the loss of community, the-numbing sense that-- all our

customary means for coping with chaos ,are obsolete, the daily bile of impotence and defeat, the awful torpor of affluence and the prevalent selfishness of american life, the doubts increasingly felt about ’ the american republic itself-to these things the university seems to have nothing to say. Why? Because it has deliberately stayed aloof, because it takes no cognizance of problems which its structure and staff are not intended to cope with, because- it is so deeply in hock to ,government-and industry that it could not .act conscientiously even if it wanted toexcept at the’ risk of its corporate investments and its government grants. * e The irony is that neither government nor industry has bought the universities. _. or silenced them, but their own greed has castrated -them. Having chosen technical problems as their forte, they cannot help a society suffering increasingly. from problems_ which have barely been defined before they are compounded by other problems too simply solved-or solved to the detriment of some unformulated problem‘ of unknown dimensions. The troubles increasingly occur at the inferstices, in’the gray fringe-areas where nobody has been trained to be competent or to’care. . -I am suggesting that the university itself, in fiart through the knowledge it ~ creates, in part through its own princilpled irresponsibility, is mindlessly help-, ing to create a distinctive modern chaosa chaos in which the environment as a whole is nobody’s business and bears nobody’s design, a conglomerate world whose disord.er is exposed by the design-perfection of the parts and their utter unrelatedness. The parts are antag.onistic because no priorites are assigned; every authority is at war; allthe jurisdictions overlap. The fault is not overdesign, but design unanimated by any larger sense ofform. It therefore goes on stupidly perfecting the part, not only because the public institutions within which the designers do their work-universities, local, state, and national. govI ernment, the corporations, the marketplace-are all instances of the same par: tial obsolescence ; the _ technical mind flourishes because the problems it prefers are soluble, but these are seldom, if . ever, the problems from which we suffer.

So now I do what pleases (me).” Bring your answer to Charlotte in the campus center office. We would like to make some comment about the diatribe in the late Enginews regarding the chevron darkroom. The darkroom here should be no more accessible to amateur photographers than are the numerous other darkrooms on campus-all of which are jealously and fanatically guarded by the various faculties which run them. These, too, have been paid for by students and taxpayers. The simple fact, as any darkroom person will know, is that a darkroom use has to be restricted to prevent rip-off of expensive chemicals and paper: every time in the past when the chevron has made an exception and allowed external use of the darkroom, we have lost a good deal of money. As well, those who don’t know how to use the facilities can create a tremendous mess. Not even ordinary chevron staffers can have access to the room without special permission. We respectfully suggest to Enginews and others that they approach the campus center board for use of the darkroom facilities which have been built into one of the small upstairs cc rooms, and then approach the federation of students for financial assistance in establishing a photography club to regulate use of the room for the benefit of any amateur photographers on campus. It would be a lot more constructive doing this than muckraking in Enginews. We noted with sympathy Deiter Haag’s notation in the last Gazette’s campus center story that the Gazette had been uninformed of events in the cc over the last few months.
