assails

Ottawa senior civil servant Roy Tinney-on campus thursday to discuss the Canada water act-blamed the socioeconomic system for the pollution that I surrounds us.

Tinney was speaking at a lecture sponsored by the school of urban and regional planning, and is acting director of the water planning and operations branch of the federal department of energy, mines and resources.

“One can’t help wonder,” said Tinney, “why it is in Canada, which has such a relatively small population, such vaste river systems and such a tremendous stint of open spaces, why is it that the Canadian environment is so degraded?

“Its got outstanding recreational opportunities, a tremendous abundance of fish and wildlife, all the things you would think that would allow Canada to be cleaner than other nations, the truth of the matter is it is just as bad as all the rest. Where ever we live in Canada it’s just as polluted as any place else.

socio-economic

‘What is there about our system, is there about Canada that lets the same way as our populous bours to the south. There has something in the system that is ally wrong. ” Environmental

what us act neighto be basic-

damage

Tinney went on to explain that like many other countries Canada had developed a very efficient economic system but. a system which also- very seriously damages the environment.

We had not as yet developed an efficient means of putting our wastes back into the ecological system, at present we are just washing them away and according to newtonian physics, explained Tinney, it is necessary to put back as much one extracts.

Tinney pointed out that our economic system was also a failure because it was impossible for someone to register his desire for a cleaner environment and because it was to some producers

economic advantage to pollute because they would thereby put the costs of production onto someone else.

The legal system also offers little protection because of the arguement that air and water belong to everyone and therefore belong to no one and therefore can not be protected.

Stopping -people from polluting was not an easy matter either, he said. The fines and standards technique can not be relied on because of the whims of the public. They have been proven to fail because the public will not stand for them.

UNIVERSITY

is nocturnal

Students A controversial article appearing Saturday in the Toronto Globe and Mail describing this university’s campus ten ter as the “nocturnal mecca of society’s dropouts” has come under fire for its “absurd sensationalism.”

Student reaction to the frontpage story written by Globe university affairs reporter William Johnson has been critical of the ‘ ‘exaggeration’ ’ in his account of spending one night in the buildr ing.

Examples cited by students include the comment that “most evenings, a pub serving beer and liquor caters to students who writhe and twitch to hardrock music...“.

The account continues, “but at the hour of midnight, the straight students disappear and the campus center is transformed.

It becomes a combination flophouse, casino, speakeasy and 1 drug haven.”

Turnkey Eugene Besruky, who is quotqd extensively in the article, --said Johnson approached him “with cunning and completely ignored everything good about the building”’ and suggested Johnson did not really see everything the article portrays.

Johnson gives a detailed description of “a bearded young man” shooting drugs in one corner.

Based on observations in the’ building from last thursday evening until early friday morning, the article describes Chosen Few “bikers” sipping beer from bottles in the great hall; music “blaring constantly from enormous speakers”, a n d numerous people describing a s sleepers, and jobless, “regular” people who “prefer to be about <- during the night rather than in the daytime. ” Asked if his article would have made more sense if it had asked why the campus center had been forced into the role of “drop-: in” center, Johnson said sunday the purpose of the article was purely descriptive and was not intended to redress the world’s grievances.

Johnson says he felt like he was “being shut out”

when he attempted to get administration reaction to his questions implying there was a “crisis” in the campus center, and decided to see the building himself.

‘I enjoyed talking to the people,” he said, “I didn’t feel like a voyeur. ” Administration president Burt Matthews commented it was presumably one person’s opinion

ing out cars which do not pollute. Third, there is as yet no efficient means of storage and collection of wastes. Finally, there is a definite information problem.

The public in Canada need to be informed far more than they are now. Tinney suggested the sollution to the information problem may lie in supporting pressure groups.

These four ways of stopping pollution were all tried in the canada water act.

He pointed out there were six sections to the act: arrangements for consultation ; comprehensive water management planning; water quality management; a special section of nutrient control; inspection and enforcement; and public information.

This act is particularly important because of all the special clauses concerning consultation between provincial and federal governments.

Another important part is the degree to which the public can participate in goals formulation and planning.

solutions

The problem must be attacked in other ways. Tinney’ suggested four. First, one could change the final demand sector by putting taxes or fees on goods and services which pollute.

Second, there should be changes made in the basic production system such as turn-

and added that he didn’t expect the story to be on the front page.

Father Bill Towsend, chaplain of Renison college said he received three calls Saturday from people‘ angry about the center. One lady, he said, urged the war measures act be used to clean up the building.

Campus center board chairman Peter Warrian said he was sorry Johnson came on a slow day.

report .a

“We are approaching the NFB for film rights,” he said, “and plan to cast Andy Devine in my role as chairman, John Wayne as a turnkey, Dustin Hoffman as federation president Larry Burko, and Burt Matthews as himself.”

Johnson said he was unable to contact Warrian for three days before he came and admitted he

could have spoken to more people, including the chevron, for further background information.

A so-called “task force” is presently being formed by the federation of students, the campus center board and the administration to recommend policies for the future operation of the building, but no report is expected before Christmas.

services

Committee The job description of a fulltime medical director came under fire fromKeith Dewar, chairman of the health services committee at its meeting last friday.

“Many people should have time to read the memo on the role of a full-time director as administrator and medical practitioner before we decide anything,” said Dewar.

Pressed for an explanation of what he meant; Dewar said he was wondering if the job could be filled by someone other than a medical doctor. He cited Harvard which has a social worker as head of health services.

Dr. Helen Reesor, director of health services said it was financially necessary to hire a doctor for the director’s salary is partially covered by the number of patients he sees and the subsequent OHSIP payments.

There is also a need to spend more time treating sick people.

She asked why they had to follow the Harvard example, for what is needed in a medical director is “someone who knows about faculty and is familiar with Canadian universities.

We’re unique. ” “In order to receive applications by spring, ads would be placed now in medical journals,” she said.

A request from the birth control clinic to use the facilities at health services for giving birth control information and examin-

ations to non-university students has to be ( investigated for legal reasons.

While boredom was a keynote, the following were discussed : l a questionnaire has been sent out to part-time stuaents to see if they are willing to pay for health services.

Unlike full-time students, ‘part-time students are not required to pay the health services fee as part of the tuition costs. l commissions from the sale of prophylactics have been used

According to newly-appointed earth sciences department chairman R. N. Farvolden, contractors who build on used. landfill sites are showing “ an intense quality of greed. ” Speaking recently at the announcement of new research areas for his department, Farvolden was referring to the recent explosion of a Kitchener home built on a previous landfill site in which gasses had accumulated.

He noted Waterloo arena was also built on such a site.

Farvolden said landfill areas could be made safe by properly allowing for the movement of fill and gas within the fill, but that meaningful information on landfill design will not be available for another 25 years. It will be possible, he said, eventually

director

by the student federation to buy birth control handbooks that have been provided to students free of charge. l a health services information booklet cost 793 dollars for five thousand copies. These copies were circulated at the registration line-up. Because of the high cost of printing, Pat Robertson, director of academic services, suggested the insurance company might pay for part of the publication costs if allowed to advertise in the booklet itself.

refuse

to safely deposit liquid and solid wastes in the subsoil.

Farvolden is a hydrogeologist who specializes in groundwater resources and pollution and who, in his words, “knows more about garbage, dumps than anyone else you might know.”

The earth sciences department is now awaiting equipment that will enable it to study-in collaboration with the civil engineering and biology departments-all aspects of analysing and designing sanitary landfill sites as well as the exploration of regional subsurface resources.

According to Farvolden, this program will make the university of Waterloo a North Amercan leader in such research, and although he specifically avoid-

l students who have piled up doctor bills through the health services and the patients’s lack of OHSIP coverage, will be refused services for “mudane sicknesses:” Anyone who is really sick and requires emergency ‘treatment will get immediate attention. ~ l Hildegaard Marsden, dean of women, suggested the need for stretchers in some of the buildings on campus.

This is being left to the safety officer.

\research ed implying his department, staff or students would act as consultants to public bodies he warned that unless governments took more responsibility for hiring researchers in this field, graduates from his program would be forced to depend more on the wishes of private mining and gas companies.

Adding to Farvolden’s comments, science dean W. B. Pearson said he felt up to now that environmental training in fields like geology and earth sciences had been neglected in favor of social training in planning and geography.

In his view, the moral social obligation of scientists goes only as far as providing “leadership” for other groups and individuals.

6f Ontario?

,

We can take, for example, the picture of the child holding a handsome speciment of one of the species of game fish which thrive in the waters of Ontario.

Some people might say this is designed to advertise the fine fishing which is a benefit to Ontario residents who are licenced to fish. This may be a secondary purpose of the commercial, but its primary purpose is to remind us that our fish are inedible due to mercury contamination.

In some parts of the commerical, the government has been more direct. One scene shows a large piece of earthmoving equipment scraping away the topsoil. This could be preparation for a free-way, a symbolic admission that the government has not yet resolved the dilemma of public transportation or the automobile.

On the other hand, it could be grading the land for a new apartment block which will provide shelter for the rising population who cannot afford to purchase a ’ home of their own due to high interest rates, unemployment or other misfortune.

In addition to thanking the government for a series of imaginative and creative commercials, we must acknowledge the addition of another well written song to our musical heritage. The lyrics of this song describing Ontario’s benefits must soothe the temper of motorists. as they sit in traffic jams breathing exhaust fumes. I am concerned however, that the question “Is there any place you’d rather be?” might seem somewhat inappropriate at that time.

I must conclude by offering praise, not criticism, to the government of. Ontario for performing this valuable information service for the citizens of the province.

It is not every country which would permit its government to expend public funds in such a meaningful project; for in such an undertaking the real beliefs, values, objectives, and of paramount importance, the character of the government is disclosed.

staff

“Is there any place you’d rather be” During the last few months, the government of Ontario has presented a series of commercials extolling the virtues of life in Ontario. Evidently, the government feels that the benefits of Ontario life are not clear in the minds of her citizens. In pursuit of a higher level of understanding in the Ontario people, the provincial government has spent approximately $800,000 to produce and disseminate commericals designed to convey this vital information to the uninformed and the unaware.

In return for its efforts, the government has received an enormous dose of criticism.

The opposition parties have claimed, unjustly I’m sure, that the commercials are conservative party propaganda intended to soften-up the public before a provincial election. In reality, the government has probably taken the splendid example of premier Bennett who provided a similar series of informative messages for the citizens of British Columbia, which I understand were presented just before their last provincial election.

In making their criticism, I am sure that most people have not taken the time to examine the content of the advertisements, and their informative and beneficial effects on the population. For example, one might consider the merits of the television commercials.

These present a series of visual imr ages depicting enjoyable situations and revealing the beauty of Ontario, a portion of which is still undisturbed.

Some uninformed individuals of limited imagination might be led-to criticize the government for presenting a one-sided view of Ontario, not revealing the present problems of the province.

This would be unjust! The commercials contain numerous examples of governmental honesty which will undoubtly assist in redueing the credibili ty gap.

’ On the morning of october 16, 1970, Canadians awoke to find themselves living, in a fascist state-a condition quite inconceivable to the average Canadian mentality, nurtured amid monotone cries in disbelief of “it can’t happen here! “, said Penny Simpson who spoke thursday at Waterloo lutheran university.

Previously, sporadic incidents of violence and dissent had on a large scale either been confined to the behemoth to the south or to the banana republic; both of these political phenomena were notorious for basing their very existence on a seasoned recycling of the elements of opulence and degradation.

Penny Simpson was one of the four hundred odd quebecois who were arrested and “detained for questioning” by the police.

Although the war measures act was in theory at least, meant to apply to the particularly volatile situation in quebec, its implications were felt to a certain degree throughout the nation.

The ‘WMA itself had been designed during the first world war to deal with “those agents which presented a threat to the internal security of the nation.”

It had been used following the war in part to deal with the organizers of the Winnipeg general strike of 1919.

During the second world war it was used to intern japanese immigrants in concentration camps on the west coast of the nation.

In order for the.government to adequately deal with those responsible for the kidnappings of Cross and Laporte, it would have been enough for authorities to punish those responsible under specified provisions of the criminal code of canada.

The government (i.e. Trudeau) possessed a logic more far-reachAt the ing than this, however. time .of the invocation of the WMA federal authorities had stated that there existed a vast conspiracy of terrorists in the province of quebec who were intent on subverting the authority of municipal, provincial, and federal govern- , ments. Jean Marchand, who had been given the responsibility of keeping his countrymen in line, had stated that it was conceivable that at the time the WMA was invoked, that many positions of responsibility and prestige in quebec society had been effectively infiltrated by the FLQ. If --- we are to believe Marchand, then we can at least understand the problems the police had in obtaining information which often ended up in the hands of radio stations.

Federal authorities argued that, in this situation, the WMA was the sole instrument at its disposal by which it could apprehend those responsible for the “crimes.”

In other words the federal government was perfectly willing to suspend the civil liberties of quebecois and Canadians so that it might protect them from “the terrorist activities that had manifested themselves in the evil ways of the FLQ.” Simpson, like so many of her fellow political prisoners of war who found themselves behind bars because of their thoughts, was detained for only a week and during that time was questioned for only one brief period of fifteen minutes.

The WMA afforded police au“carte _thorities a veritable blanche” in the arrest and detention of any individual without warrant or warning, as well as the search of any home without warrant.

The civil liberties of the citizen were suspended: an individual could legally be detained incom-

municado and without being able to contact a lawyer for a period not exceeding ninety days, upon which time a charge had to be laid. But even then, bail would probably be refused.

Penny Simpson is presently on a speaking tour of Canadian university campuses for the purpose of informing people of the nature and gravity of the situation in quebec during the invocation of the war measures act. She is also busy explaining the nature of actions of various civil liberties unions in quebec.

In her recent speaking engagement at wlu, Simpson encountered the usual number of questions along the line of: “Are you suggesting that the government negotiate with terrorists?

In south america, whenever authorities have acceded to the demands of political terrorists, the terrorists expressed no desire to cease their illegal activities. ” In replying, Simpson stated: “In’ no way Ldo I condone the violence which resulted in the death of Pierre Laporte.

But when you speak of violence, you must also

consider the legalized violence of the system; the violence that is reality to 11 percent of employed workers in quebec. This is the particular kind of violence that kills many people who are forced to live in slum dwellings while Drapeau wastes money on such things as expo and the Olympics. ” But inevitably, the history of the people of quebec will prove the FLQ correct in its aims and aspirations for the working people of quebec. The people are well acquainted with the fact that the violence of the FLQ does not threaten them, but rather their oppressors.

And for the four hundred odd people like Penny Simpson, the reality of their predicament provided frustration and yet a sort of revelation.

For most quebecois, the reality of having been oppressed for three hundred years provides no other reality but that of desperation.

As for the proponents of fascism, their reality is one steeped in arrogance and corruption.

That which is real is no longer real, and that which is unreal is real.

We enjoy

Consoled

* The Simon Fraser clansmen unseated the Acadia axemen as champs in the Naismith ‘Classic Saturday with an exhibition of superb basketball beating the axemen 75-58. The tournament finale was one of the best basket: ball displays ever seen by the fans at the game and followed a very popular win by the warriors over MacMaster.

Waterloo won the consolation round for the second straight year with a 93-72 drubbing of the marauders.

The tournament as a whole was quite impressive as only one team, the Brock generals, was totally outclassed in their games.

First

Round

Lutheran defeated Windsor behind the floor leadership and scpring of Rod Dean (23 points). Windsor was very sloppy and their shooting was atrocious.

Acadia got 60 points from Pound, Eaton and Folker to down MacMaster.

Mat looks to have potential this year with the scoring of Steve Skerlak and ballhandling of Joe Martino.

The St. Francis Xavier x-men scored 52 points in the second half to dump the hapless generals 94-55.

Simon Fraser thumped a nervous, tight warrior team 83-54.

Waterloo had a most disturbing first half. They outshot SFU but hit only 6 of their 44 shots and collected only 19 rebounds. They gave the ball away 15 times in the first half alone.

Warriors didn’t work the ball well and seldom got set for their shots. Their floor discipline was terrible on offense.

The Waterloo defense was quite good in the first half, holding the powerful clansmen to only 35 points.

Bill Robinson and Wayne Morgan were devastating friday as they were all tournament.

Robinson ran the offense, drove to the basket, scored from outside, and dumped off inside to Morgan who was also very hot on the 15-foot jumpshots.

Second

The final round of the tourney, MacMaster came from behind Saturday night, drew a to squeak out a 77-76 win over a played large and very responsive crowd much improved Windsor team. to the most The lancers held a 39-36 lead at which was treated exciting basketball of the weekthe half but Mat opened an 8 point lead with eight minutes left in end.

The consolation series featured the game, and led 77-70 with one the warriors against the marauminute left.

Late fouls enabled Windsor to ders from Mat. The first half seem.make a comeback which fell a- was slow with the warriors ingly content, to play just well bout one second short as the enough to stay about seven points winning basket was hooped just ahead. They caught fire once in after the buzzer. the first half and stole the ball Both Mat and Windsor could three straight times and convertbe contenders in this year’s OQAA. Waterloo warriors advanced to ed them all to scores. Warriors led 38-27 at half time. the consolation final with their Mat bounced back in the secmost impressive game of the ond half led by two newcomers, tournament.

They destroyed centre Bob Mason and guard Brock by a 107-46 score.- They Sam Kaknevicius.

They tied the hustled, passed, shot, fast breakgame against a listless Waterloo ed and pressed with fierce authteam with twelve and a half ority.

-minutes to go.

Tom Kieswetter was the most The tie score seemed to light a outstanding and proved that he proverbial fire under the waris one of the best guards in the riors and they simply took off, country when he puts his mind leaving Mat far behind. Kieswetto maintaining some semblance ter again led the team as they of order in the warriors offence. hooped 42 points in the last 12 When Kieswetter was not in the minutes, while allowing Mat game, Hajdu and Dimson took but half as many. over and also led the team well.

The warriors played extremely Laaniste finally hit some from good defense, with Gord Lance outside and Bill Hamilton played blocking three shots and contribhis best game of the tournament uting some needed rebounds. as it seemed to be the only time The warriors were outstanding that he relaxed enough to play at the end of the Mat game, well.. there is no doubt about that. It It was unfortunate that they seems that they have problems didn’t play as well against SFU

with consistency, especially on offense.

When the press goes well and they are hustling, they pour in the points. When it is not they look bad, missing plays and taking bad fouls.

Laansite had his best game of the tourney getting 25 points.

Kieswetter had 17, 11 of them in the second half.

The championship game was greeted with great enthusiasm by a near capacity crowd.

Acadia jumped into an early lead on the play of forward Rick Eaton. Things began to look bad for SFU when star guard Bill Robinson picked up three quick fouls in the first quarter.

The axemen built up a twelve point lead with a minute to go in the half, as they controlled the boards and got 18 points from Eaton. A flurry at the end of the half by SFU closed the gap to eight points; 37-29.

The coolness and discipline of the Acadia team made it seem impossible that they could be caught from behind by anyone which made the second half extremely hard to believe.

SFU

pulls

reversal

SFU pulled a complete reversal of the first half as they got control of the boards and shut off Eaton’s scoring. Coach Kootnekoff made two fine coaching moves. He moved Frank Rottering over to cover Eaton, and switched Robinson on to Peter Phipps where he could cover more losely and stay out of foul trouble.

He had covered Pound early in the game.

Round

Championship

Series

Simon Fraser advanced to the Cinal by dumping the dumpy Xavier x-men 88-77. The clansmen got 27 points from Wayne Morgan and 16 from top rebounder Larryrlark.

It was a pleasure to see St. Francis lose. A victory by them would have been a disgrace to athletics.

They had four of the most out of shape athletes ever to try to tie up their shoelaces.

Acadia had an easy time of it also in the semi-finals beating Lutheran 80-56. Steve Pound was outstanding in that game, and an early zone defense

by Pound,) Phipps and Eaton enabled them to get a 19-5 lead which they never gave up. Herb Stan led

Clark

(reaching),

Morgan

(15) and Robinson

led fantastic SFU second

half comeback.

Robinson put on an incredible show in the second half, running the offense and playmaking like most of the fans had never seen.

He sunk nearly every shot he took, netting 14 points in the second half.

Wayne Morgan got hot from about 15 feet out and contributed 18 points in the half. Along with Rottering and Clark he helped corale the rebounds.

The SFU defense was nothing short of awesome. They held the powerful Acadia team to 21 points in the half, most of them after the game wasout of reach. Pound was held to 2 points after Alex Devlin began covering him. All in all it was almost a storybook half for the westcoasters.

The tournament was very SUCcessful drawing, apparently, very knowledgeable fans. It was a pleasure to listen to the support they gave the two teams in the final. Apparently it was as good a response as they usually get at home.

.

Stars

The tourney all stars were Pound, Eaton, Kieswetter, Clark and of cohrse, Robinson, who was also the Most Valuable Player.

And what of the warriors in light of their second annual consolation. They seem to lack two things-consistency and confidence. An inexperienced, pressing team is expected to make mistakes but they have yet to establish that they care to hustle consistently.

Confidence seems to be their big stumbling block. They played their best ball against Brock whom they knew they could beat and their worst against SFU, whom they seemed to feel they couldn’t. They were ‘up’ for the SFU game but they were too nervous to play a together game.

The fact that they scored more points than anyone else in the tournament should prove to them that they simply have to play their own game in order to be an extremely good ball team.

L It is interesting to note that the two best teams in the touinament were schools that believe in and practice athletic scholarships.

The response of the fans seems to raise the interesting question of education.

When .and if fans in the OQAA, for example, are exposed to top quality ball will they be happy to accept the play of some of the weak sisters in the league?

This argument has, however, another side. Scholarships do present some problems ’ which are very serious but often go unbenounced to the fans. In the words of Phil Ochs; Tossing the dice, You pay the price So you can compare. ’ Warriors are back in action here at home when they play the York yeopecple Wednesday night at 8pm.

Timothy I

THAT even an Eaton’s publication today would write of Timothy Eaton the way a company history wrote of the founder in 1919: “He reminds one of Cromwell smashing into the effete Parliament of Charles I; or of Cecil Rhodes founding a commonwealth among savages. ” The Cecil Rhodes and the savages part would’ have application to the attitudes of some of his later heirs, but Timothy was a rather straightforward, even dour Presbyterian-turned-Methodist who arrived in Toronto in 1869 with $6,500 and settled down to the business of making money.

He paid the $6,500 for Jenning’s dry goods business on Yonge street and embarked on what was, to his just credit, a revolution in Canadian retailing.

The money he brought with him came from seven years’ partnership in a store with his older brother in St. Mary’s, near Stratford.

Timothy had always earned his money by hard labor in the best Presbyterian tradition.

Since he had gone through a hard, seven-year app enticeship in a store in Ulster before he emigra f ed to Canada, he had an appreciation of what it meant to work hard for a trying employer him+ self, concerned about his staff’s welfare.

He would lead the country in introducing shorter working hours for his staff, and paid welfare and pensions before most employers had heard of these terms. But he could not abide labor unions,i when they arose toward the latter part of his life - that interfered with the intense paternalism and strict authority with which he ran his store. Thatmuch, his heirs learned from him.

The retail revolution Timothy Eaton launched in Canada was based on two tenets: l cash only, instead of the credit and running charge system that most retail stores in Canada then worked on, l one price only, which wiped out the dickering over prices that was the accepted shopping method in Canada.

Later, . “satisfaction guaranteed or money returned” was to be a slogan that shook some of ~ Eaton’s competitors.

Then Timothy learned the values of advertising, and that became another ingredient of the rise of the Eaton empire: constant, saturation advertising.

His rural ingenuity extended to paying the horse-drawn streetcar drivers to cry out “Everybody out for Eaton’s” when they pulled up before the store - a modern day- equivalent being the curious way Eaton’s has direct ac’cess to the Toronto and Montreal subways, so that a large part of the passenger traffic can’t get out without walking through the store.

But the major revolution was the Eaton’s catalogue. In a fragmented country where vast numbers of people had no access to modern products, this was the only way to shop. In the early parts of the culture, an indispensable text that was used not only to shop, but also to learn English.

When Timothy died in 1907, the massive Winnipeg branch had been opened, #mail order was a separate unit, and the firm had its own buying offices throughout the world and employed 9,000 people.

He left his heirs a personal fortune estimated at anywhere from $3,000,000 to $15,000,000. Sales that year totalled over $22,000,000.

Jack Eaton, later to become Sir John Eaton, an unreconstructed reactionary, took over the firm. He and his wife Flora became the unofficial first family of Canada - patrons of the arts, mansion builders, owners of yachts, villas, private railroad cars, horse stables.

Under Jack Eaton,,and later Robert Y. Eaton and John David Eaton (current head of the clan ) , T’S DOUBTFUL

the empire grew to become the third largesl employer in Canada after the federal governmen and ‘the railroads.

Its 50,000 year-round emloyees

are supplemented by 15,000 part-time workers over Christmas.

The Eaton family is the sole owner of 48 department stores across Canada, five warehouses and service buildings, factories, 352 catalogue sales offices, large tracts of strategic downtown land, and the personal Eaton’s estates and fortune. The tag on the Eaton empire is estimated at $400,000,00( When John David’s home in Toronto was robbed ’ over a year ago, the jewels stolen were valued al $1,000,000.

The Eaton empire is more than that.

It is one of the most powerful concentrations of wealth, economic power and political influence in Canad,a, ranking, with E.P. Taylor’s Argu: corporation, the Canadian Pacific Railway; Power corporation.

It is also an empire that wield: this imposing power whenever something stand2 in its way.

I do not see thal women have gained much by the vote - it has merely complicated the problem because the vote is not restricted to intelligent women. I think the vote is rather a nuisance myself.’

“Lady Eaton considers that a woman can find ‘no greater sphere of endeavor than in her own home. ‘I may sound old-fashioned in saying that, ’ Lady Eaton said, ‘but I believe that women have lost sight of that fact to a certain extent-and that they are coming back to it.’ ” On november 16 she sang at Massey Hall for Toronto’s elite, and the Toronto Star burbled : ” VOICE

SWEETNESS AUDIENCE

Of her preparations for court presentation, Lady Eaton leaves us this account of London manners : “We had taken instructions in the court curtsy from Miss Violet Vanbrugh, one of London’s wellknown actresses, and she had been an excellent teacher. She would say, ‘Walk up to me,’ then, after making us sink back on the supporting foot, she would order us to do it again, ‘and remember the earth will hold you up, and don’t be afraid to step up firmly.’

It was important that we lift our heads after the moment of the full drop of the curtsy...

There was some difference of opinion in London about the matter of lifting one’s face and smiling when presented to one’s sovereign, but Miss Vanbrugh insisted on it... How Their Majesties managed to retain their gracious composure during a9 evening of eight hundred presentations was a mystery, but also a lesson for the rest of us.”

On one of her visits to the Winnipeg store, she made “a morning tour” of the mail order buildings with Eaton’s chief in that city, H.M. Tucker. Here she recounts how she gave the unfortunate Mr. Tucker a lesson in employee relations : “When we returned to his office, I looked at him and said, ‘Mr. Tucker, that was just useless.’ He asked what I meant. ‘Well,’ I said, ‘our people were looking for some friendly contact with us, and neither of us gave it to them. Neither one of us smiled.’ His reply was, ‘But I don’t smile readily.’ And to that, I said, ‘You’ll have to learn, and we’re both going to do better this afternoon. ’ After lunch we continued our tour, going this time through the store, and I’m glad to record that Mr. Tucker smiled and .I smiled too. I’m positive our’.afternoon’s activities netted infinitely better results than the morning’s. ” The temptation to quote more of Lady Eaton’s gems of managerial wisdom and passing observations on the problems of wealth and station’is hard to resist, but suffice it to point out that her memoirs are available from any public library in this country and come highly recommended.

Thus for more than 20 years, the- newspapers glittered with mentions of Lady Eaton, with descriptions of her residences, of her charitable donations, of the -gala events she attended. John Craig Eaton was Sir John, and with Lady Eaton they were “Canada’s first family.”

They were’met by flocks of reporters when theytdisembarked from the luxury liners after their sojourns abroad.

Lady Eaton’s pronouncements on the passing scene were dutifully recorded, her attire and grace spread over the social pages of the Toronto and Montreal papers. And though Jack Eaton was a more hard-headed sort who shied away from this sort of publicity, Lady Eaton played her role well.

Here was an Edwardian Canada, a native merchant family that sought the splendour and status of a colonial aristocracy.

Here was the highest ornamental developn-ient of an indigenous capitalist elite.

on

1935 ILGWU)

Miss Nolan:

Q. Miss Nolan, were you employed by the T. Eaton ,company limited, of Toronto?

A. Yes, 1 was.. .

Q. Adn when you first went there what was your basis of pay?

A. $11 was guarant&d (per 44-hour week on piecework).

Q. And after that did it ever change?

A. Yes, I got $12.50. Toward the end of 1928, it was riased to $12.50.

Q. And what was the result, first of all, physically, from this drop in rates? (Piece-work rate of $3.60 for making a dozen voile dresses, I

workers union (ILGWU) and Eaton-s, a picture emerged of the sweat that was the base of the glitter of Ardwold, .the Flor&ce villa, the court receptions, and the ecclesiastical silence of the press.

The witnesses before the’ committee (it was made a full royal commission in the fall of 1934) admit that working conditions were not among the worst until the death of sir John Eaton, and the onset of the depression.

But they give a picture of where EatonS transferred the misery that arose from the lower sales of the depression period.

The, minimum wage in Ontario at the time was $12.50 for a 44-hour week. More precisely, the law required only that 80 per cent of a department average $12.50, and the other 20 per cent were uncovered. The companies, therefore, could and did play the averages game with employee+salaries.

When the slump in buying came, its implications were immediately dumped on the factory employees. Where a dressmaker would earn $3.60 a dozen for her work on a particular voile dress, in 1933 her rate of earning was knocked down to $1.75 for the same dress, and the same work.

For an eight-hour day she would, if she worked very hard, take home $2.50. Even in the depres-

which was dropped in 1933 to $1.75 a dozen for same dresses and same work) A. Well, you had to work so bard, you were driven so fast that, it just became impossible to make $12.50, and you were a nervous wreck. The girls cried. I was h,ysterical myself. It almost drove me insane.

Q. Was that condition general or did it only happen to you?

A. It was general. All the girls were the same.

Q. And did you break down by reason of it all?

A. Yess, I went into hysterics several times and I had to go to the hospital and the nurse said, “What is the matter? You girls are always coming here.” * * * -\

Mrs. Annie S. Wells: 0. Would you mind

indicating to the commission from your standpoint as a worker why you disputed the pay for this dress? Please describe the dress, what you got per dozen for making it, and why you objected to that price?

A. Well, this dress was a cotton crepe, and we had to make the blouse with double fronts, and a frill in between on the one side. It had a raglan sleeve. That is a sleeve that is not set’ in; it came sion, this bordered on the outrageous.

EatonS de up to the neck here.

That was that. I forget now whether the dresses harder .to make, the rates were not the back had a plea& in it or not; I think it had one; raised but drastically lowered, and the women anyway, we had to make that skirt, and then we expected to produce more, not less. Witnesses had to join it to the blouse, and we had to sew speak of being “badgered and harassed” and 1 that bow that is on the shoulder but sewn in such “threatened if you did not make the $12.50 you a position that the bow could be threaded through would be fired.” They were clocked by stop watches a button-hole.

But why would it never t&slate ‘the funds available for A. 9?h cents. / welfare into a decent wage?

If the workers received a decent wage, they might get notions of having earned it, instead of having received it. And when that sort of sys$em

entered, it would threaten the existence of Ardwold. It might lead to such violations of “family” corporatism as unions.. .

On july 11, 1934, an incident occurred that clarified Eaton’s attitude towards unions. ’ In march and april of that year, the women of one department organized into a local of the international ladies’ garments workers union.

Witnesses before the commission testified that they had been warned against organizing into a union.

A manager named Clendining said to the girls that they didn’t need a union and told one “how would she like to go home with $6 a week and he said some of the fellows in his office went home with $6 a week; and she told him he ought to be ashamed to say that they got that. . . He told us we were out of our class, that we were yixing with the people of Spadina.” (union officials Spadina Road is Toronto’s dressmaking district. ) But the women joined the union - 38 in that section, and began to ask for higher rates on some of the dresses they were working on. Eaton’s made short work of them. ,On july 11, after several days of asking for higher ‘rates on a specific dress, the committee representing the women went to see management (a Mr. Moore and Clendining) to a_sk again if they would raise the rate, and were told definitely not “take it or leave it.” So the women stopped work that afternoon and waited to see what would happen. They were summoned to see Moore and Clendining. “...and Mr. Clendining asked each of US how long we ‘had worked there. We told him. He wrote that down. Then he said ‘Are you willing to work on this style ?’ We said no, we would like to have the price raised. He said ‘Well, you can wait until 5:3O. If you cannot make up your mind to work then, we no longer require you. ’ ” The women asked for passes out of the building to see their union officials, and were granted them. The officials urged them to go back to work and press for the higher rate without a work stoppage.

“We went back the next morning ready to work...

We went back and the time keeper would not let us pass.. . We went up to the 9th floor. We were ready to go downstairs to take our machines and he told us our cards were out.. . We were locked out. We did not strike, we were locked out?

By Hon. mr. Stevens:

Q. What does the dress sell for?

The selling price is $1.59 each. It is marked here. (Later)...

It took an ordinary four and a half to five hours to make a dozen. * * * A.

Miss Amy

Tucker:

’

Q. It has been stated here that Eaton’s do , countenance and recognize unions. Have you anything to say about that?

A. When we fried to organize, Mr. Clendining said “You girls can join a union if you please but that does not mean to say that this firm will recognize a union. This’ firm will not recognize a union. ’ ’ Q. Who told you that?

A. Mr. Clendining.

0. Anything else?

A. And then he went on to say “Of course we recognize Unions. ” ’ And I said “You do in the printing, because it happens to be government work and it must have the union label on it. But otherwise you do not recognize unions.” And in all our talk he would ,try to bririg in racial question, about the Jewish p‘eople, telling us we should not belong to the union at all that was controlled by Jews. * * * / In li34, a remarkable figure in Canadian politics took aim at the big companies in Canada and went on a private radio and pamphlet campaign to expose the conditions of workers in factories, and the transgressions of high finance. He was all the more remarkable because he was the Minister of Trade and Commerce in the Conservative governnient of R.B. Bennett. This man, Henry Herbert Stevens, hurt the Bennett government so much with his attacks that he was persuaded to resign in October of that same year.

But he had managed to leave a legacy - part ot which was the Stevens committee of price spreads, as swash-buckling a one-man attack on private interest and its role in the depression as has ever rolled over Bay Street.

The favorite target of this curious Red Tory was the retail trade. And that meant Eaton’s. .For the first time in history, with batteries of company lawyers kicking and screaming the untouchable company was forced to bare its dealings, wages, capital, profits andlosses.

As the Eaton dress factory workers, women who struggled at living on the prevailing $12.50 minimum weekly wage, in Ontario were brought to testify about working conditions, salaries, battles between the international ladies’ garments continued

After 5:30 r&one could get into the factory-building -_ it wa,s cleared. by then. The women could not have been!ogically expected to turn up at 5:30 to announce their intenti.on to- returp to work. With surgical efficience, Eaton’s had divesteditself of d union group. b , One of the more astonishing distortibns in the recent official history of Eaton’s - “The Store that Timothy Built”

by Willaim Stephenson - deals with the very critical and revealing series of hearings by the Stevens committee.

This is how the book writes off the damaging testimony : “Ifi june, 1934, to take their minds off unemployment and the breadlines, Canadians were treated to a circus staged by the federal government.

Included in the charges the firm was eventually asked to answ*r were: That Eaton’s practice of featuring ‘loss leaders’ cduld wreck the niarket for any smaller re‘tailer dealing mainly in that commodity; That Eaton’s’ system of selling ‘distress goods’ treat-<, ed havoc among smaller retailers ; That Eaton’s received special discounts from manufactukers for larger orders, so that it could sell these products at far below most of their competitors’ prices; - That Eaton’s put pressure on suppliers-not to sell to others at such discounts; That Eaton’s mail-order department took everything out and put ngthing back into areas tihere it flourished; That the only remason Eaton’s could-afford to sell at such low prices even- with such dybious tactics was because the firm paid very low wages and forced factory workers td toil at ‘intolerable speeds.’

The book claims Eaton’s had “no trouble” rdfuting these claims and that “all the other headline-making claims of ‘unfaiq competition’ and ‘slave labor’ were _ refuted with similar ease.”

The ease with which Eaton’s refuted these charges is, to anyone who leafs through the- hundreds .of pages of ‘tesximony, somewhat dubious. A reading of the report leaves no doubt thatkEaton’s was raked over the coals and rtin over by a steamroller.

T)le book continues to portray an utterly sh/aken R.Y. Eaton (then president),his, feelings hurt by the investigation. It reads: “,... R.Y. chose to view the “whole inquiry. as a warning that for a firm like Eaton’s - the nation’s storekeeper, willing servant and watchdog of excellence - profit must be considered, for lack of a . better work, 2s sinful, success.

Never again must _ thereibe even the flimsiest excuse for an investigation.”

This magnanimity obviously failed - despite the best efforts of the firm, of course - becuse it is widely estimated that Eaton’s is worth $400,000,000 today. Nice try, though, R,Y. _ But as if the poor Eaton’s weren’t hurt enough by the scurrilous allegations of warnen earning $12.50 a week, Stephenson notes in his book that “. . .ihe Stevens committee was to make R.Y. even more tionservative thre h;$asbeen before. ” : “An even more notable manifestation of _ I this unltra-conservatism -occurred in September, 1934, when a Telegram reporter, in his description of the labor day parade, hoted that several union marchers ‘dipped their flags in sorrow as they passed Eaton’s.’

“RY demanded a retraction.

The editor replied politely that he had-checked the story and found it to be true, so there was no need for a retraction,” The picture of the poor, distraught man, wounded to the soul’ by the Stevens committee, running around trying to censor newspapers, coupled with the ‘suggestion that this was all the fault of the Stevens committee for hav-ing made him an ‘*ultra-conservative”’ - this is SO incredible as to border on genius. _ .

N THE NIGHT OF december 4, 1951, Eileen Tallman, an organizer for the united steelworkers of . America,, and Lynn Williams, a young -organizer for the CZO sat over a beer in a tavern on Yonge street, both in an elated mood.

On the same night, in‘ the Eaton family hqome, Lady Eaton, John David Eaton, several directors and managers sat diSpirited, waiting for the same moment.

Williams, now with the united steelworkers of America in Torpnto, recalled the night:, “We couldn’t believe it had happened. We had been j

organizing for three years - it’s impossible to, describe the energy that wencinto that. Despite all the obstacles ‘the company propaganda campaign, the raises that were calculated to pull the rug from under us, the Qgh ,turnover of staff- - despite all that -Eileen and I were sure we had won. The managers were pretty depressed because they also thought we had won.

“That moment was the-first hard lesson I got in labor organizing. So close.. . ” .

Out of 9,914 Eaton’s employees‘eligible to vote in the Toronto stores.on whether or not to join a union, 4,020 voted for the union, 4,880 voted against, 259 vallots were spoiled.

The elation in the Eaton home, it is reported, was unbounded.

The retail, wholesale and department store union (RWDSU) had begun organizing at Eaton’s in Toronto during the summe-F of 1947. Because of the magnitude of the task - almost 10,000 workers of the 13,000 were eligible for unionization - a special committee of the Canadian congress of labor (affiliated with the CIO) was formed to orgaqize the-store into lo~a1’1000.

“People’s dissatisfaction_” says Williams today, “was primarily over salaries ‘- there were wide discrepancies between..people who did essentially the same jobs.

Women were paid much @ss than men for doing the same job. . “And there ~8s the pater;alism of the place, - you had to make sure you were in the manager’sfavor or you were out, they coritrolled you completely, raises and promotions were not given ofi any general standard, but frequently on a totally preferential system.

Eaton’s had not progressed far, in relative terms, since 1935. Not, at &east, in wage terms. Here are rough \ average estimates from a salary survey done by union stewards at the time: (Bear in mind these are wages recently hiked by general increases to throw the union off balance) : Group

Wage

- $40-44

$55

$60-75

Starting rates were from $5 to ii0 a week less. Different rates apply according to age and marital and family status, even if for thesame job.

The most salient feature of these wage rates is the much lower rates for women who might be doing the samejob. This is a continuing part of Eaton’spolicy.

In the large restaurant‘ departments, salaries were lower by $2 to $4 per week, and major grievances, according to union surveys, were “speed-up, layoffs, reducing employees’ hours, and job doubling.‘. Older women are particularly -insecure as when they become too slow they are got rid of in one way or another...a fair number. of D.P.‘g (displaced person - officialese for immigrants)’ are hired for food sections. .Eaton’s . tries to make the D.P.‘s do more work than others.”

In the mail order department, unlike the showrooms which “are kept in a condition that is reasonably pleasant to the eye,” things are “in a state of disrepair.

The departments are completely void of air conditioning, with inadequate heat and fresh-air for winter, and seltering temperatures during the warm summer months.. . ”

Mussolini days) “Thg loyal Eatonians”, though the company insisted it was not behind the formation Qf this curious loyalist movement.

The group produce a series of slickly-written pamphlets attacking the union - that showed clear signs of company help. ’ Examples of the contents of some pamphlets: ‘?Vhy are these outsiders so concerned with your “welfare’?*‘They. say they want you to enjoy the beneifts and privileges they enjoy. Obviously they know little 1 about you or this company! , , “Let’s do a little figurGing: “Local 1000’s dues are now fixed at $1.50 a month.

If they go no higher the C-IO could take no less than.. . $100,000, A YEAR OUT OF YOUR POCKETS! ‘.

“If dies go up to $2.50 or $3.00 a month as they have in many unions, the union take would be somewhere in the neighborhood of . . .$400,000 A YEAR! “Multiply khat by the scores of department stores and thousands of retail outlets in Canada and you begin to get a glimpse of thi! rich price the CIO is grasping for. You are the first step. * _ “TO REPEAT: “You ar? being asked to cast your whole future, your livelihood for youfself and your dependents, into the hands of strangers who lack any understanding of your work, your problems or your company’s, and whose motives are concealed behind exaggerated promises and carping criticism.

“Before you surrender your future into their hands, --‘-cbunt what you have in benefits, rights, working condi- + tions, opportunities and what you- can- reasonably hoIje to enjoy as the company marches forward.”

The post-mortem report done for the’ CIO attributes the defeat, by a margin of 10 per cent, to “anti-union campaign put on by the company during the final weeks’ of the vote” and the general wage increases.

It concludes tersely - “and this 1inT worked. ” , It did more than once.

John Devere&a former employee of the wage administratioh office in the Winnipeg store, recalls being sent in 1964 to survey wages in the town of Dauphin, Manitoba, where Eaton’s had a small store and restaurant. He had been sent on a routine survey of wages, and was about to report that he found them relatively , geared to the local rates. But suddenly the Winnipeg office informed the Dauphin store that their wages were being hiked by, “over $10 at least,” according to Deverell. .

“The reason was simple,” he said, “It was expalined to me by the chief wage administrator for Winnipeg and the western region, my boss, Garth Arnason. He said that a Dominion store had just been organized into the union in the same town, and there -were many restaurant workers in that store too. The comparison in wage rates to Eaton workers would have been_ a (little too -. obvious.

“So the -salaries were immediately jacked to stave off any grounds for unionizing attempts ,by the employees.

“Arnason told me: any Eaton’s wage administrator ,that allows a union to be formed in his jurisdiction is immediately fired.”

Today, the average wage/of a saleswoman in the Toronto store is $1.70 an hour, and that of a salesman $2 . an hour.

A t the h WDS2/ office in the Dntario federation of la&or building, they say ‘“hundreds” of calls are received annually from EatonS employees asking why there is no move to unionize them. ITh-ey are regretfully told of 1951.

With these wages and . conditions, however, Eaton’s was not much w?rse th+n Simpson ls or the entire retail indust& At -the time; the retail field was the secondlowest paid among the nine leading industries in Canada. Industrial workers were largtily organized, store employees %ware not. Thus the cavpaign to organize

Eaton’s held .a prime importance to the whole labor movement - the Toronto stores were the key to organizing the, retail industry, and the CCL spent $300,000 over three years to try to do it.

The campaign carried on over three years, despite obstruction and red tape from the Ontario government ---on certification rights, despi@ turnover .”of staff, apd.. most of all, despite the company counter-campaign.’ .

Williams admits the company fought back with a calculated, intelligent campaign that spared no costs either.

- A group of., employees “spontaneously” formed a counter association called (shades of Lady E-aton’s

“It’s hard to understand how we lost,” Williams says today. “Maybe collective bargaining was not that accepted then. We came awfully close, nevertheless.

It’s the paterna!ism, though. And that’s an elusive idea how the. men and women, the older ones of course, really believed all that Lady, Eaton, and the family, company stuff. They wanted to believe it. They-gave ,~ them the frills and told them they were getting the sub-. stance.

“Eaton’s is different, and more dangerous. That place was run on an ideology. It regally controlled people.

“I remember we once put out a pamphlet-on- the Eaton mansion, and the incredible, gross luxuries in there. It wak a castle, something out of another time. We thought the constrast to the working conditions woulf hit the workers, if we described this place. , “But I .remember people really resented that piece. ;They really thought we should not have talked abouh the family, and their private place.”

Way back in October of 1970, two budding young musicians teamed up to produce a brand of music intended to incite its listeners to revolution and other unnatural acts.

Together they sat down and hammered out about ten songs, worked out some arrangements and burst upon the music world as Running dog and his electric lackey.

Their first performances were confined to a dank, dark, hovel in the heart of the slums of Waterloo (possibly alluded to in their song, Masochist’s love waltz.)

Word of their unusual talents spread quickly, and aspiring musicians throughout the area desired knowledge of who comprised this gruesome twosome.

Here on campus, radio waterloo managed to score what may be the coup of the year by recording the group for their people’s music program.

On Wednesday, december 9, production Blackfriars, the company of the drama and theatre arts programme of the department of english, university of Waterloo, presents the second production of the season, Exit the king by Eugene Ionesco.

The production is directed

by Karl Wylie, director of the humanities building theatre, and designed

by Mary Kerr.

Ionesco is one of the most produced playwrights of short plays, yet his full-length and more recent works have received relatively few productions.

Exit the king, written in 1962, was first performed in North America in 1967 by the APA repertory company at Los Angeles.

Exit- the king is a highly allegorical drama, somewhat like a medieval morality play, concerning the last two hours in the life of a once very powerful king, Berenger the First.

armies have been defeated, the dikes have been breached, the boundaries of the realm are shrinking.

Berenger is surrounded by his two wives and a few members of his court in his throne room, all that seems to be left of his crumbling world. Berenger the First has been a micro-. cosm of God and State, possessing the powers of creation ad destruction, but these powers are no longer his to command.

And so as the/king goes, so goes tste state. For Ionesco, the death of the king is also the death of society’s beliefs. and values, its outmoded and corrupt truth.

Exit the king, exit everyone.

Reaction to the taping was so overwhelming that it was played twice more on friday.

One dreary listener, Gabriel Dumont, was heard to remark “Who the fuck are those guys?” thus setting a trend for the response to come. could Perhaps the group best be described by the words of the pair’s manager, Rompin’ Roddy Riel.

“These boys are definitely a sign of the existentialism which throughout the university , and consequently society, has proliferated itself. ” What may in the past have been the demise of many groups, such as Danny do and the Don’ts, has turned into a rewarding escapade for R.D. and his E.L.

always terrific.

Feel the emotion in Transylvania sweethearts : “Let me feel the sweet peck of your teeth in my neck/And drihk till my viens run dry.” Here is the true expression of boundless love.

Their songs are reflections of drama of their own lives, culled from their own personal experiences. Consider the torment and agony in the heart of the man who wrote “Baby I’ve got you under my skin/I’m knocking at your door so won’t you let me in/And don’t let me catch you with another man’s gland in your hand.” These, and the other lines make The chauvinism rag truly a classic.

This song also -features some fine side work, with “Noodles” Notes Anderson on humazoo, Little Jimmy Klinck on penny whistle, Gerrit “Groover” Huvers on harp, and, on lights, Ian “The Easterner” Ferguson.

The People.‘s music show was also highlighted by the razor-sharp wit which is R.D. and his E.L. m-mm When he asked why thP y.Iu b*--r was persued by a band of delerious, screaming fans after a recent performance, the announcer was left speechless by the reply: “We had the dope.”

Right on.

They recently completed a : highly successful american tour, i astounding and offending audiences in Ithaca, N.Y. This week, they travel to Los Angeles tc work out details of a contract with Bizare Productions, who &a record the Mothers of Invention and Alice Kooper.

After that, it’s on to Penticton, B.C., for a possible New Year’s Eve engagement at the CUP national conference.

They return to Waterloo in january for at least two shows on as yet unannounced dates.

Judging from their recenl gigs, Running Dog and his Electric Lackey are genuinely indicative of the musical styles and forms to come in the not-tooimmediate future.

- Is the “pig” really “bourgeois?”

by Paul Piccone 3

L

ATELY ,- THE epithet “bourgeois pig” has joined many of the old standard invectives decorating the rhe_ toric of radical discourse. ’ Yet, while there is no problem in understanding the “pig” half of the sloganreadily identifiable with the “oinking” variety of a certain species of mammals - the same cannot be said for the other “bourgeois” half. Besides connoting evil, corruption and immorality, “bourgeois” is an adjective that rapidly fades away in the obscurity of profound marxist theory.

Why does the “bourgeois’ ’ catch so much flak in the radicals’ rhetoric?

Historically, ‘ ‘bourgeois’ ’ referred simply to the mannerism of the townspeople in a context where the overwhelming majority of the population lived in the countryside.

It depicted a certain practical approach to everyday problems. As such, it was essentially a non-ethical characterization of a rising class still checkmated between a pompous and historically obsolete nobility and an ignorant and superstitious peasantry.

In the late middle ages, when the bourgeoisie as a social class first came upon the western european scene, -it was es-\ sentially progressive and constituted by a class of people whose social position was intrinsically ambiguous.

On the one hand, they were part of the lower nobility displaced by the iron laws of primogeniture, while on the other, they were socially powerless and, consequently, identical to the peasantry that they so much abhorred.

But, as feudal society gave way to capitalism through the development of new modes of production, the bourgeoisie rapidly took over de fecto power. Subsequently, through revolution, it also acquired de jure control of society.

Thus far, ‘ ‘bourgeois’ ’ simply refers to the way of life of a relatively sophisticated urban group, whose sophistica-

.

’ tion stands out precisely in relation to the backwardness and “idiocy of rural life. ” It is only after the bourgeoisie came into power that it became the ruling and decadent class with respect to the proletariat - the former peasants who had emigrated to the cities to earn a living no longer possible in the countryside. , But why did the bourgeoisie become degenerate and historically obsolete?

Without indulging here in a lengthy philosophical elaboration, it needs only be pointed out that there is one major reason why this class is degenerate and, consequently, it connotes evil, corruption and immorality.

According to Marx, the bourgeoisie turns out to be as bad as it is usually depicted since it is a class that does not 184601: Since labor is the only kind of activity which, in creating the object, also creates the subject, only the laboring class can actually become educated and morally responsible to the extent that it does create through labor.

gaged in “pig-like” activities in order to simply make a living, the connotation does not apply. It becomes even more suspicious when it is realized that the bourgeoisie also works in some sense or other, thus pre-empting the epithet of most of its theoretical thunder.

The bourgeois class- does not labor: thus, it is not even able to determine its own moral principles.

These principles, then, must be borrowed from tradition and, consequently, are externally imposed. Reduced to a merely passive social role, the bourgeoisie becomes also a passive class unable to creste anything at all. To depict anything as “bourgeois,” therefore, amounts to contraposing the active to the passive, life against death. All this is well and good at the theoretical level.

What is overlooked is to what an extent it applies to reality. Is it really the case today that the bourgeoisie does not labor? In this case, all students that take great pains to label their advenaries as “bourgeois” must be simply projecting their own predicament on others, since students do not “work” in the strict sense of the term.

ironic counterpart, the historical fact that the “bourgeoisie” has lasted as long as it has: if it did not really workwhich is false - it would have c-eased to exist long ago; and if the proletariat actually worked so much, it would have long since have made a successful revolution. This has not happened.

ET’S JUST SAY I caught you crying for reasons I discovered long ago.

It’s autumn and it’s snowing, and like the geese I’ll go. Life’s a vicious cycle and like the leaves I’ll fall, my tears are in the by-line that’s all . . . . _ .. A wolf pack is howling, the moonlite is dim, it’s hard to be following, an abstraction like him. But the decision made by Truman, was it human, I was just curious. . .

Did you see Hallowe’en as a question of Timing, or the ill Timing of a question. That was last weeks miracle cure for “remember what happened last week!”

But with Thanksgiving again in the states . . . . You understand the logic of the Hall,owe’en question? Why don’t the Americans celebrate Xmas a week early? Their Thanksgiving spoils our weekend and makes us feel pretty small about our past festivity. So why not spoil Xmas for us too. Have it a week earlier than the rest of the world . . , . Ah, but then frontier enterprise is dead.

Speaking as a dead frontier enterpriser from here on in, I can only lament for the loss of Big-Things. The New Corporate Thought, Media control, Think Tanks, and Unionism: Gad, what have they done to freedom?

Every great idea came from a little man. A wierdo. An innovator. He shook up the world around him and changed it. But in the past quarter century the Corporate Thought Bins just tremble at each other. Meanwhile in a backyard workshop, in a small, central american town, John (blank), the inventor of the earth tremoring (blank) a revolutionary device that would alter society as we know it, is methodically slinging a noose over the beam and sadly dragging his workbench over. He pauses, remembers the Reverend Brown’s reaction to his idea and climbs up . . . .

He kicks the works to the floor in a shattering calamity that he hears only half of, for the rope draws tight. There was an ulp and a bow string twung from tense cord and the last tinkles of glass from the floor.

And in Corporation Think Tank thousands of miles away someone jumps up: “Hey, I just had the most brilliant idea.”

God, I wish I was a movie director. I’d like to put sound effect tracks on e old silent films. Yes dear reader there are no new ideas. Even you are wondering, what have I said that was original? And I say “nothing.”

And you sigh, saying, “what did I tell you - nothing in this column either,” and . . . and . . . and...

God are we all that bored?

“On the otherhand, maybe we should wait until he passes by, and rush out, shouting slogans. ”
