Opposition by Georges chevron

Charbonneau

staff

Whether various sectors of the community” are “university aware of it or not, unicameralism is here to stay. In an apparent attempt by the university act committee to elicit varied opinions from all sectors of the university, the second draft of the proposed university act recently came under the scrutinization and comment of the arts faculty council. The administration and members of the act committee have already committed themselves to the prospect that unicameralism provides a positive panacea to growing intensity of problems encountered by a “university growing for the future.” Whether or not the goals and social responsibilities of an academic institution might be comprehended better in the context of the role they should play toward becoming more responsive to the needs rather than the materialistic whims of a society hell-bent on self-extinction remains to be seen however. But in the words of a member of the arts faculty council, “I’d hate to think that the-university is content to administer its OWN activities on the basis of a majority of the power in the governing council resting with those who have little if any direct interest in the functioning of an academic institution in an atmosphere reminiscent of that of a corporation.” The prevailing mood at tuesday’s meeting of the council was one of cautious reservation toward the implementation of anything that ressembled the most recent draft of the proposed university act.

CC board .-

“The problem of the campus center is not a problem involving the building itself, but rather the oversensa tionalized image people associate with it. ” This was an opinion voiced several times during the recent meeting of the campus center board, called by board chairman, Peter Warrian. In perhaps the most important event of the meeting, board members defeated a proposal that a temporary curfew be imposed on the building, restricting the building to the exclusive use of uniwat students. Originally, the suggestion of an imposed curfew came from a proposal adopted by the federation of students executive last week. In effect, the decision of the campus center board not to enforce a curfew against the use of the building by “non-university people, ’ ’ or as federation president Larry Burko termed them, “degenerate hippies,” constituted a re-affirmation by the board in the belief that the campus center

to unicameralism \ The question which should be answered by all those involved in the decision making process is not whether or no,t the university community does or doesn’t accept the second draft of the act; but rather the important consideration should concentrate on _ by whom and why was the principle of a unicameral system of university government established in the first place. In recent months, there has admittedly, been not only considerable opposition to the mechanics of the proposed act, but also to the very nature of the act and the premises on which it is founded. In a brief presented to the university act committee, Roman Dubinski, president of the faculty association expressed the opinion that there were many points in the proposed university act which tended to violate the formal objectives of university reform and the further objective of unicameralism. Dubinski stated that, “the objectives of reforming the present university government could be implemented either through moderate reform in the way of a revision of bicameralism or through radical reform as embodied in, unicameralism. It is important that those familiar with the internal operations of the university be given a majority of representation on the governing council. “In any case,” added Dubinski, “members of the governing council should be discharged with certain levels of responsibility and expertise. ” This would seem to imply that there exist different levels of rights and responsibilities within different sectors of the “university community.” But like most players engaged in the squabble concerning the por-

Hist sot calls referendum In its meeting last week the history society has decided to call for a referendum in the history department, on whether history students should have parity with faculty on the history faculty council.

faculty council, by the representation of the undergrads advisor, who sits on both committees. The history society meeting discussed the dissatisfaction of the .present arrangement and considered sending a-delegate to the faculty meetings. This suggestion was soon rejected as it still ‘prevented students from having a meaningful say in the department. It was decided therefore to call a referendum for early january asking for a decision on the parity issue.

to the proceedings

oj’ the university

tioning of responsibilities on the governing council under the new draft of the university act, faculty members, chairman of departments, and faculty deans are primarily concerned that their interests not be subordinated to other sectors of the university community, the community-atlarge, and certainly not to students. Lest faculty members develop genuine concern over the provisions of the act itself, they should perhaps take heart in the genuine concern expressed by our beloved president, Burt Matthews: “It is a common cliche and almost conventional wisdom to say

curfew

should remain an open building. In a subsequent motion, however, the board maintained “There are minimum standards of cleanliness in the building, and there are laws of the land. These will be enforced in the building. Noncompliance by either students or non-students will be sufficient grounds for asking a person to leave the building. ” The board also decided that it was the duty and responsibility of the turnkeys to -enforce these minimal rules, and that either refusal or unwillingness to comply with this duty would- necessitate ., dismissal. Several turnkeys present at the meeting expressed the quandry in which most turnkeys apparently have found themselves, not being particularly keen on enf arcing strict regulations adopted by the campus center board. Rick Page, chairman of the staff committee, suggested if turnkeys are so interested in their “job security,” they will them enforce the polities and regulations of the board. The board also proposed that

grows

(

in future, turnkeys be required to spend more time in the building, out from behind the information desk, talking _to people, and enforcing the minimum regulations established by the campus center board. Several non-members present at the meeting questioned whether or not the campus center board’s actions had been prompted by an article recently published in the globe and mail which maintained that the campus center was “a haven for society’s drop-outs and sex-voyeurs. ” At the same time, it was decided that the staff committee, under the chairmanship of Rick Page, would be charged with the responsibility of carrying-out and enforcing the policies of the board through the turnkeys, as well as seeing that these policies will in future be incorporated into the description of the job of “turnkey. ’ ’ In other business, a motion was passed that the program committee would be empowered to make an interim policy regarding pub prices in view of recent changes in the regulations of the liquor control board of Ontario. The only dissenting vote came from Rick Page, who stated, “I have no desire to see the federation establish a night-club on campus. ” A motion was also passed which will give the federation of students a free hand in establishing pub prices for “cap-au-vin,” which is “winter to be held during weekend. ” Federation president Burko reasoned that with approximately :two thousand dollars worth of entertainment, it was necessary to set admission prices high-enough so that the federation could break even.

that many courses and programs current in universities, are irrelevant. This of course is not true. In most cases, they just appear to be irrelevant. “But that is reason enough for the faculty’ of this university to

be deeply concerned. The amazing re-appraisal of what we are doing and how we are doing it, must continue with increasing vigor. I do not advocate change or innovation for its own sake.” Amen.

Psych students shocked at breukup of division The majority of graduate students consulted in the social personality division are extremely unhappy about the dissolution of their division. Most of the eight students contacted by the chevron said the announcement was something of a shock to them, and that they didn’t approve of the manner in which it was done. Seven out of eight felt that the division as a whole should have been given the opportunity to discuss the issue before any action was taken. On the question of disharmony, most felt- that it was not such to merit dissolution, and a few never even knew it existed. Although /they have been assured by graduate officer Robin Banks that the dissolution will not affect them academically, most graduates feel apprehensive about the future. Previously they could operate as a group within a division on questions of grants\ and graduate programs ; now they will have to wrangle these things out individually with the department chairman.

Generally, they seem to feel unprotected without the division as a buffer between themselves and the department chairman. As one graduate said, “we were a very together group but now we’ll probably split up as people become absorbed into other divisions.” According to one grad some faculty members who approved of dissolution were not even bona fide members of the division. When the division was dissolved there were only four bona fide members, Lerner, Amoroso, Miller and O’Day. The meeting at which the division was dissolved, Lerner didn’t attend; O’Day was not invited: and Miller was against dissolution. The outcome seems suspect. Lambert and Brown who were both in favor of dissolution, claim they opted out of the division last spring, and Ware according to the sign on his office is a member of the psychology department at large. Who then dissolved the division? The whole procedure seems to be a tangled mess. The people who lose out are,as usual the students.

submissions called for by CC study committee The special campus centre study committee has now officially announced its existence and is calling for submissions from any interested groups or individuals in the university. Contrary to the impression given by last saturday’s Globe and Mail story the committee was in the formative stages nine days before their november 29 article about the campus centre. The formation of the special committee was not a product of the Globe’s indepth coverage of the “problem”. The committee’s terms of reference are to, “review and make recommendations on the overall philosophy of the campus centre friday

and its functions in relation to students, staff and faculty” and to “review the policy, operation and administration of the campus centre and make recommendations in regard to any changes that may be necessary or desirable.” The group has to produce a report by februaryl5,1971. Members of the committee are Rena Armstrong, undergrad math, Rick environmental Page, undergrad studies, Pete Warrian and Don Wetherbe, grads John Nash, faculty physical health and education, W. Deeks, staff, purchasing, and Pat Robertson, director of academic services, chairman. I I december

Kitchener-Waterloo area included Susan Telegdi, Paula Groom, Rona Achilles, and Carol Courtney. Marlene Dixon, a professor of sociology at McGill university, opened the conference with a paper on the role of the womens’ liberation movement to-day and in the future. She stressed that women within the movement must progress from the desire to merely win more rights for themselves to a wider, more basic concept of liberation for all humanity. Miss Dixon’s paper set the mood for the entire conference as various speakers delivered messages on education and women, the political economy of women, and socialization and sexuality. The Saturday evening session of the conference was open to men and 2 male speakers presented papers on male chauvinism, and male support of the womens’ liberation movement.

Sunday was a day of strategy, with delegates presenting their ideas of the ways and means of achieving the various goals of the womens’ liberation movement. The conference divided into 2 workshops, one to discuss the abortion issue and the other to discuss the implications of human liberation. When plenary resumed the delegates were asked to present a proposal concerning abortion to their various groups for decision. The conference achieved its purpose of bringing together, from across Canada, women who have many ideas and goals in common, and who might otherwise have thought they belonged only to a small minority. Future conferences will do much to strengthen this new solidarity as well as provide stimulus to a fast growing movement.

Hiline

by Dianne Caron chevron staff

Hi line is a co-operative effort between students of the university of Waterloo and Waterloo lutheran university. On this campus it is a division of counselling services and at Waterloo lutheran a division of educational services. Terry Moore, one of the co-ordinators, stressed that Hi line is autonomous as far as policy mak‘ing decisions, although it receives its funds from the administration and is budgeted through counselling services. Co-oper&ion with the administration is very good and Hi line has so far been denied nothing. The group itself is run by four co-ordinators : two from each university, Terry Moore, Darlene Matthews, Mel Coubrough and Hank Cohen. These four handle public relations, organize training sessions and deal with complaints within the group. All kinds of people volunteer for Hi line. The trait they have in common is a desire to help people. The only people who are hot accepted are ones with emotional problems that could be harmful to callers. The seventy volunteer_s work whenever they want to and there is no pressure to show up. Training for Hi line volunteers consists of a series of five or six lectures, divided into two segments.. The first segment is a lecture, eg, Fred Kemp on drugs. Lectures are on sex problems, differences in values, and problems arising from the differences in expectations between kids and I parents. In the second segment members role play various calls. -This gives

the volunteers confidence and practice at answering calls which can be very upsetting. Calls range from information to suicides. The volunteers are trained not to offer solutions or give advice, but to conduct the call as friends having a, rather serious conversatiori. The co-ordinators and members watch each other to make sure that no one is giving advice. ~ Hi line can use any community resource and has available an information directory of all social agencies in the kitchener waterloo area, all drop-in centers, the landlard tenant act and the appropriate people to contact about violations. They also have numbers for .dating services, homosexual clubs, and dial,-a-dance. Hi line tries to keep in close contact with the birth control center to be

aware of up to date information. The members remain anonymous, because they feel that people would not call if they knew who they were talking to. More important it is to protect the members from cranks. Hi line receives an average of seven calls a night during exams, all df which are listed on a confidential call report sheet, and kept in locked files. Some people call td make sure that someone is present and that they are not going to be ridiculed, and also to see how they would be answered. Hi line has a problem with an inadequate mechanism for feedback. One example of feedback was a poem written by a caller and sent in to the chevron’s feedback.

The new laws then went on to pass with an easy two thirds majority at a residence referendum. Although ‘the constitution has been accepted by students, it is still not official, for no word has been received from the warden on whether or not he has accepted the document. Without the wardden’s consent, the constitution has no real value, for it would be operating outside the legal f‘ramework of the administration of the village.

The article in question states that in case the warden vetos a council decision, that bill will be brought back to the council, which in turn would call a referendum and if 80% of the residents support the bill, as was previously passed by their council, the bill would become legally operative. The article clearly states that the results of a referendum called under this section of the constitution are binding on all parties. Since no other council meetings are scheduled and the warden has remained silent, the final outcome of _the crises will not be known until the beginning of the winter term in january.

The situation is somewhat different at U of W, both with respect to firing of faculty and the extent of student participation. Roman Dubinsky, President of the faculty, association explained the situation. Faculty members at U of W fall into three types of appointments: definite term, which terminates with no questions asked after a given period of time (usually a year) ; probationary term (usually three years, leading to tenure or a good -reason for otherwise) ; ‘and tenure (pkrmanent unless given a good reason for dismissal). Although U of W has never faced a situation of economic cut-backs, as has happened at WLU, a contract decision would not necessarily be bound by the seniority issue, in such a case. Dubinsky went on to point out there is no student participation or representation at the faculty or senate level renewal policies as is the case at WLU. frida y 77 december

When was the last time that you took part in a play? Talking of communication, we have on campus .an ideal medium for self-expression embeded within the concept of the theatre. It is not at all necessary to be enroled in drama to be involved. On the contrary, involvement in the theatre teaches aesthetic appreciation of drama, thereby opening a new field of interest and capacity for enjoyment to a student otherwise immersed in mathematics, politics or geography. The people involved in drama welcome visitors and gladly explain all aspects of a production. A play only begins with the actors. Behind them, first and foremost, there is the director who is responsible for the smooth display of every word and movement, all the details of the presentation noticed by the audience only when a flaw occurs. There is the creation of custumes, a marvellous Saskia Tuyn and G_erald Parowinchak played the lead roles in opportunity to express a flair for designing; the Romeo and Juliet performed in the theater of the arts in the setting which requires imagination and ingenuity ; the make-up, the lighting, the sound effects, these spring of 1968. all present a challenge to people with interests in Above right, scene from the persecution and assassination of various fields.

the emphasis is on student-staff nonprofessional participation. This appeals to the average student who would like to do his thing. If you have an idea for the stage, or a play that would be fun to do, the drama department offers free help, advice, equipment, use of the stage and will even dig up scripts; anything the interested person needs to put on his own performance according to his own self-expression. For those who just like to watch, there are the brown bag productions every friday at 11:30 am at the humanities theatre;a great place to go for an hour between lectures and eat your lunch. The department of english offers courses in acting, directing, and1 technicalities of the stage. The courses strive to amalgamate the two em trepes of the academic and the practical sides of educational theatre. I accompanied Mita Hedges and Paul Roland to class, where two groups, one in directing and other in action, jointly put on some scenes, as a sort of, mid-term examination. At the end of each scene those acting and their director were presented with questions by other members of the group. During this informal discussion each student. had the chance to air his views, state his objections, ask questions. Constructive criticism was given and taken. These lab theatres are held regularly as part of the course, and visitors often provide the audience. Schedules are posted in the humanities.

He invented the wheel barrow...the sails and rai/ways...automobiles and airplanes.. . he created revduCons, counter-revolutions, rei/‘sion, reform and counter reform .-and now he must die.

This powerful play by Eugene Ionesco portrays clearly and terrifyingly the inevitable death of man. L.J. Campbell as King Berenger the First and Charlotte McDermid as Queen Marguerite adequately fill the lead roles, although they are unable to produce the strength required to make the characters outstanding. Campbell’s performance was what could be termed as wishy-washy, but lhe came across aptly as the dying king clinging to life, overcome by fear and despair. Queen Marguerite should be cold, aloof and dignified. McDermid almost meets the challenge of her role, but not quite, so that mostly she is stiff and unnatural. However, considering that this is her second role on stage, and a difficult one at that, she does well. The rest of the cast gives the support needed to keep the play from monotony. Julie Knight plays Queen Marie, giving the interpretation of a’ silly, flippant woman. Her highpitched voice matches the caricature, although at times it becomes painful for the listener. Joan Gaskell does marvellous characterization as the grumpy maid Juliette whose mere sight adds tremendous amount of comic relief. Ivan Hessler’s slight accent and skulllike face boosts his performance as the doctor. He is majestic and sly, well in keeping with his role. The guard, played by Russell Scott, does not contribute to the action but, like Gaskell, provides comic relief. There are no intermissions and the play unfolds smoothly, remaining a single unit through-

out, a credit to direct0 Karl Wylie. Those not familiar with the plays of Eugene Ionesco will be bewildered at first for the theme is strangely unique. Symbolism and realism are combined and shuffled within the play so that one never knows what to expect next, as is illustrated by the following quotes. “It was he who invented the gunpowder and stole fire from the gods. He nearly blew the place up. But he caught the pieces and tied them together again with string. ” - the Guard. X “He invented the telephone and the telegraph. He did everything with his own hands. ” - the Guard “He was never any good*with his hands. At the lightest sign of a leak he used to call the plumber.” - Juliette The King is humanity and all his achievements have led to this day, the day of his death. “He built Rome...New York...Moscow . ..Geneva. He founded Paris. He drew up the plans for the Eiffel tower;not to mention his design for the sickle and the plough. ’ ’ - the Guard The king is dying because it was decreed that he die at the end of the play. “When faced with death, even a little ant puts up a fight. Suddenly he is all alone, torn from his companions. In him too, the universe flickers out. It’s not natural to die, because no one ever wants to. I want to exist.” - the King Exit the King, is a play well worth seeing and hearing. Apart from the dialogue, the setting and background music have a striking effect of their own. The props are black, outlined in lights, offset by elaborate costumes of mauve, red and blue. The music sets the mood for death and rumblings indicate the kingdom that is falling apart. When it is time for him to exit, the king disappears in a whisp of smoke. Needless to say, the technicians have excelled in their trade.

DEMONSTRATIONS A STUDY by James D. Halloran, and Graham Murdock, 328 pages, $1.50

Richardson-

and COMMUNICATION: Philip Elliot Penguin Books,

A team from the centre for mass communications research at Leicester university (England) has made a thorough study of the press and television coverage of an event which it chose in advance-a great demonstration in the streets of London, held October 27, 1968, against the war in Vietnam. Their totally humourless book about the investigation (a pervading solemnity is the mark of the communications researcher) is an excellent, dispassionate study of how we go about our work. Their findings are very discouraging. They discovered that in the two weeks before the demonstration the newspapers defined the nature - of - the event-as-news and, having done so, then reported the event in relation not to what happened but to the framework they had provided for it. Led by the Times and the Guardian, two serious newspapers, the press decided in advance that the event was likely to-involve violent clashes between police and demonstrators, and for two weeks they worked every conceivable news angle that would keep the story alive. ’ The most fruitful of these was the foreign student angle ; then there was the scheme to occupy important buildings, the likely occupation of the London School of Economics; the splits within the organizing movements ; and finally the discovery of the personalities behind the whole thing. These angles fed ,on each other: the newspapers too. Eventually an MP got up to demand that all foreign scum be kept out of the country. Some student leaders in fact were banned from entry. Thousands of police turned up. The home secretary accepted the press’s framework. When asked why they did not give prominence to the repeated assertions by the organizers that no violence was intended, the newspapermen told the researchers that it was not news. _ Everybody looked out for only one thing - violence. In fact the march was peaceful; a small group of demonstrators broke away in Grosvenor Square and tried to get through police barricades. This incident led the television news, and the press got their picture of P.C. Rogers being kicked in the face by a demonstrator. (best press photograph for 1968! ) Some of the newspapers had it both ways: there was violence (though not much), which justified them; but it was not a violent march not a riot, no occupations, the main march did not even go near the american embassy; so they were able to write within the

context of violence having been prevented by the wonderful british police. (“It couldn’t have happened in any other country”-the patriotic angle). Even more startling is the fact that though the press’s framework was proven completely wrong, months later the Times was writing a leader which treated the fit,tional framework as if it were actual fact. The researchers, it seems to me, are extremely gentle with the journalists. They attribute the bias largely to professional and technical reasons. They found their news value, since the journalists appeared to believe that they had a sense of news as if by instinct. An important concept is developed by the researchers: There is an “inferential structure” developed about an event which leads to a “process of simplification and interpretation which structures the meaning given to the story around its original news value” and which leads to “an unwitting bias. ” My only quarrel with this is that the bias may not be so “unwitting” as the researchers claim. While there is no doubt a lot to their belief that the frequency with which the media appear structures the nature of the news they present the researchers have examined only half the story. On their last page they say journalists should be trained to see positive news and turn away from the overwhelming concentration on individual events and elites, but they say’even that would not fundamentally alter news selection. Then they hint at “institutional rearrangement.” They add: “The selection and presentation of news is not simply a function of conscious attitudes and deliberate policies. It springs from an underlying frame of mind which itself is related to occupational and institutional arrangements. ” Like, for example, the economic and social interests, unmentioned in this book, of the ~80~18 who own th8 media and everything else? Boyce Richardson, associate editor of the Montreal Star, spent most of the 1960s as the Star’s resident correspondent in London. -from Content, nov. 70

Scene from the me nobody knows, a rock musical about life in the ghetto. The play, now at the Crest in Toronto, once again shows the tremendous commercial davanttges of poverty. ., by Eleanor’ HyocJo and Benjamin Reevil chevron

THE ME NOBODY

KNOWS

The me iobody knows, a musical. about getto children in its good intentions romanticizes the nature of the ghetto. This musical is adapted from a collection of writings, from a book of the same name. It is currently playing at the Crest theatre in Toronto. The writings express the fantasies, thoughts, moods and feelings of seven to eighteen year old kids who live in the slums of New York city. The book is the result of one teacher providing the opportunity in his classroom for his students to write in an open climate without regard to spelling, sentence structure, grammar or punctuation. The kids were free of the fear of being evaluated. A very simple set was accentuated with projections of slide-like pictures for background. With change of moods and themes appropriate slides were switched off and on. Some of the kid’s written work was directly quoted for some of the songs. Of all the songs, one of them, This world, which involved the entire cast, engaged the cast and audience in spontaneous reaction. Sometimes, some of the younger members voices’ were noticeably forced to the audience. Perhaps this situation will erase itself with increasing performances. One kid says, “When I first get up in the morning I feel fresh and it seems like it would be a good day to me. But after I get in school, things change and they seem to turn into problems for me. And by the end of the day I don’t even feel like I’m young. I feel tired.” One particular scene depicted the kids in the

- ~classroom and their lack of response to the lessons. Momentum and feeling built up to a crescendo with the shouting of the work, “fuck”. Some adults in the audience laughed nervously. In contrast, some children who were in the audience, numbering, one hundred responded and laughed to : “Yesterday I was in the store. And then a little white boy came in the store and ordered some milk and a nigger. All the people in the store look at him. I said to myself, he made a mistake. He meant .Hero. “But then again he said, ‘may I have a nigger.’ He was looking at me. No respect. No respect.” The adults in the audience remained silent. The song, Take hold the crutch, is a criticism of the Christian religion by a seventeen year old girl. Her introduction is, “Take hold the crutch you lame believers; limp through life upon the sacred word.” One song, Let me come’in, is adopted from a fifteen year old boy who says, “I have felt lonely, forgoten or even felt left out, set apart from the rest of the world, I never wanted out. If anything I wanted in.” The musical touches on many aspects of life and fantasy. The children are talking from the heart, but the charm of the kids describing their lives from the gut level separates the audience from the issues that create ghettoes. It’s easy to leave the play and be moved by the honesty in the children’s perceptions. So what? Does anything change? The ghetto lifestyle is now commercialized. (Prices for weekday and sunday performances have been reduced; an additional service has been fifty rush seats, for students held nightly, costing ($3.00)

members oj’ the choral group and band struck for higher wages at the conclusion of Carol Fantasy. Spokesman folr the group said they will play-no more engagements this year.

staff

friday

Those of you who -were not at the theatre of the arts friday or Saturday night missed something; I’m not quite sure what, but you missedsomething. Thousands of wild Christmas carol fans flocked to see the annual Alfie Kunz extravaganza. The special attraction this year was a melange of Christmas carols which was put together especially for the university of Waterloo orchestra and chorus. As a no extra cost option we had members of the band at the top of the aisles in the audience. It may have been a good idea but I’m not sure if the people sitting right in f rant of the trumpets were too impressed. It might have gone over better if the musicians had been a little more accomplished but as it was it sounded as if they were afraid to be away from the rest of the band. In spite of that I did enjoy the band alone more than the combination of the band and choir although this could be due to my own preferences more than the shortcomings of the choir. 7 7 december

The declarer has but one club trick when clubs are led from the west hand. He must endeavour to win his trick as la,te as possible in an attempt to prevent west from gaining the lead with his long clubs. On a small club lead, declarer hdlds up on the kind o‘f spades if east wins his ace, and if east chases to duck the trick, declarer

last

must use the king to block the suit. On the actual play of his hand, east led the four of clubs. The declarer exercised his rights and barred west from making his natural club lead. Thus came the inspired lead of the heart queen. When east gained the lead, he made the club shift and declarer found that he could not control the club suit with the lead coming through his doubleton jack. He failed to find his best play and went down two tricks. His best play is not to win any club tricks! The laws of duplicate bridge were designed to protect the nonoffending side from -being victimized by the passing of illegal information. If west would not naturally lead a club then south had to protect himself. Since the lead would be made at every table, south could have insured himself of a normal result by requesting west to lead a ‘club. In looking for a bonus, declarer went down in a contract that everyone else made. Duplicate bridge games are held in the social sciences lounge tuesdays at 7 p.m. December 15 is the last game this term. January 5 is the first game next term.

IF you’re about to graduate, you’re also about to move into a corporate world dominated by older people. Older people have been known to get quite tense about long hair and beards. What do you do if your hair is longer than theirs? Cut it off and feel like a cop out? Leave it and risk losing a fine job? I - Not shattering questions. But they may be part of a thicket of little problems, all twitching at you as you start those job ititerviews. We wrote a booklet about going to job interviews. Eight pages only, but we packed it with what we’ve learned about coming face to face with strangers. The thrust is simple: hoti to approach, engage in and leave an interview on your own terms.

It’s called “How to separate yourself from the herd.” It talks about handling nervousness, money, and the guy across the desk from you. It talks about hair and how to turn an interview around. Things like that. You’ll find it tucked into a much larger book, also new, called The Employment Opportunities Handbook. The handbook is yours for the asking at the placement office. Please understand, though. We don’t kid you that eight pages, packed or otherwise, are going to pull off a miracle between now and the time you take your first interview. But they just might help.

The? engineer can aid in pollution control by directing the use of the product by proper design. As a general matter, producers and consumers are insensitive to the needs of pollution abatement. As technology evolves new products and government regulation continues to intrude, elements of pollution control will be mandated into products. With respect to air polltuion; a product should be designed to be used in a, manner which minimizes air contamination. A few examples will suffice to indicate the direction. Spray guns fo.r distributing asbestos and other’ insulation

in semi-liquid

should

be designed to -prevent air conby q&&OS a$ other - bmination tamination by asbestos dust. Electrical motors should‘ be specified, where possible, for lawnmowers and snow blowers in place of noisy,- low efficiency internal combustion engines. ’ Fuel-burning equipment for spaee heating should b.e designed to prod&e complete combustion and to avoid air pollution with unburnt smoke particles and fuel and to utilize the lov\i-sulfur fuel oils which are now being required in many areas of the country. Start-up instructions to ‘minimiie air pollution when the burner is cold should be permanently affixed and means to facilitate start-w h designed pollution-free into the unit. New York city now provides a training program for janitors in which minimum pollution start-up procedures are taught. Such programs could well be provided in other cities or by manufacheating equipment turing companies’ and- oil cornpanies. Another. possible long-range -approach to air pollution control involves the limitation of the electrical power requirements in new appliances and household equipment. Such devices should be ‘designed for efficient use of power since the production of electricity. does, involve air pollution even where control. equipment is pro/ vided; Efficiencies in electrical power use can. also avoid the needless productionof carbon dioxide should be carefully specified and (where fossil fuels are used) tested in ,order to remove and which may have long-range effect revent every last part per milon world climate.

ularly on discrete inland waterI ways, the number of power plants, which, can be cooled by a water\ way without drastically changing ; the- water temperature, is quite limited. As a consequence, any measures taken to conserve electric power by careful design of appliances can contribute to the control of thermal pollution. An interesting problem in urban -ecology is highlighted by the sometimes competing needs of air pollution control and thermal pollu. . tion control. Large cities, in temperate zones, experience wide variations in outdoor temperature during the four seasons of, the Year* New York, for example, requires a heavy space heating load (with accompanying air Pollution) in winter and inordinate electrical’ air conditioning loads accompanying thermal twith pollution)in the summer. In these cases where ,a Hobson’s choice exists, the general rule of power conservation fails, and the electrical utility, in New York is encouraging electric heat for buildings inasmuch as the power plants, _, which must be provided for air Conditioning Purposes, operate @at sub-maximum output in winter. The large fuel-burning equip- \ merit. associated Iwith the power plant is more efficient and pollu: tion-free than the smaller space , heating equipment which is otha wise required* The design of products which are to be directly used in the urban setting, is a separate but appropriate area here since important design criteria ‘are often overlooked. Thus, fire hydrants should be designed to deter vandals or improper users who may disable _ the hydrant or, waste significant. amounts of water in attempting tc keep comfortab1e On a hot SUmmer day. Sanitation trucks should be designed without noisy hydraulic and conveyor systems, and refuse cans should be designed to avoid the ‘clanging noises associated with the hurried activities of sanitation workers and. janitors.

WUC du-mps warriors Ed, the magic, Dragan had eight points and Dave Bigness and Fred Dimson had seven each. They are going to need forward scoring to win games this-year. Waterloo’s defense was good in the first half as they held Coulthard to 12 points, half of them on fast breaks, and- Moffat to 11, mostly from the corner. The fast break was working well for the warriors early in the game and late in the half and netted them a few buckets. The uniwat two brightest spots in the half had to be the phenomenal rebounding of Gord Lance and the outside shooting of Kieswetter who had 22 points in the first half.

They played a solid first half but returned home, after a dismal last eight minutes, with an 85-79 loss. Warriors got off to one of their best starts of the season taking a quick 11-4 lead, primarily behind the outside shooting of Tom Kieswetter. Bill Hamilton spent most of the half stride for stride with the hawks’ big scorer and floor leader, Rod Dean. Dean was held to ‘10 points, most of them when Hamilton, who had a terrible game offensively, was off the floor Waterloo got some good scoring news in the first half of the game.

Their lack of inside success didn’t hurt with Kieswetter hot in the first half but when he was zero for nine in the second stanza they paid for it. The second half of the game, which began with the warriors ahead 49-48, although not top quality ball, was very close and exciting until the final eight minutes. Warriors got points from Dimson and Hajdu from outside and from Paul Skowron, who had six points and as many rebounds in the half. Lutheran’s scoring was balanced with Dean’s 11 and Moffat’sJO leading the hawks. The warriors fell apart and lost the game in the last eight minutes. They began to take bad shots from the outside, notably Kieswetter, Dimson and Bigness. If these shots were designed for rebounds they were well placed as only four of their 25 shots were in. The offensive rebounds in the second half were not enough, however, and when inside the warriors were ridiculously inept from under the bucket. Lutheran meanwhile plodded away, breaking well, and built up an 83-76 lead before putting on an impressive freeze in the last two minutes. Warriors made an ‘effort to close it but the hawks withstood and won the game by six. Several factors stood out-in thisgame, the primary two being the referees. They called an extreme: ly tight game and in addition to their, badness, a tightly called game hurts a pressing, aggressive team like the warriors. Uniwat lost Hamilton to fouls with ten and a half minutes to go, Dragan with four and a half and Zuwerkalow with two. Lutheran lost Mike, the round cereal, Moffat. Lately it seems in this league, as if you have to swallow a basketball to qualify as a referee. Most of the men in stripes have trouble making it to the other end of the court without a breather. More close to home, these facts stood out about the warriors. On the debit side, they have to either work the ball inside better or hit on more than 20 per cent of their shots.

pressing zone defense, used for the first time, was surprisingly effective and resulted in numerous steals by Sue Murphy and G. G. Gaskin. Top player for the Athenas was E’onna Laypaert whose strong game on the boards saw her grab the most rebounds, and her 67% average from the floor allowed her to lead individual scorers with 9 points. Patti Bland also with 9 and G. G. Gaskin with 8 points rounded out the high scorers for the Athenas. This win and the share of first place will have to satisfy the Athenas, for they don’t play another league game until late in january, when they return Windsor’s visit.

Guelph’s Dave Stitt and Western’s Ole Sorenson represented Canada at the’ British Commonwealth games, both winning bronze medals. Rick Finkenzeller also of Western, had placed fifth in the world Junior .Wrestling championships in 1968. Waterloo, however, was not impressed by these credentials, , as only Sorenson was able to defeat his Warrior opponent. John Barry, second in the Canadian Collegiate championships defeated Dave Stitt after nine minutes of top flight wrestling.

Swimmers win ltheir share events in heavy competition /. The university of Waterloo Warriors swim team continued to smash team records on the weekend as they competed in two meets, one at home and another in Hamilton. In a double-dual meet held at the Uniwat pool Saturday afterthe Warriors outswam noon, Fredonia State, who were ranked 4th in New York State last year, with a 9-3 record, 59-54, However lost to the powerful university of Western Ontario team 68-45. Western meanwhile trounced Fredonia 79-34. The meet was Waterloo’s best showing against Western who ranked 4th in Canada, while it was the first time the swimmers had drowned any American opponents. The Warriors won three events and came in a close second in five other races in the eleven event meet. The 400 yd.’ medley relay was taken by the Uniwat team of Brian Bachert, Brad Walker, George Roy and Bruce ‘Murry in a record time of 4:06.8. This was 11.4 seconds faster than the previous team record. George Roy swam away with the 200 butterfly in an excellent time of 2:15.4, which was six seconds faster than the nearest opponent from Fredonia. Backstroker “Zack” Bachert destroyed another Warrior record and drowned all-commers in the 200 yd. event bringing it home in 2:21.6. This was 1.4 seconds faster than the record set last year by George Roy. Brad Walker, in his first year with the Warriors broke his own team record set three weeks ago in the 200 yd. breaststroke of 2:33.6 by 3.9 seconds lowering the mark to 2:29.7. This time was good enough for second place behind Fowler of Western.

In the Hockey final for the coveted Bullbrook cup, Arts easily outclassed the’ Bagbitters. Swanson started the onslaught mid-way through the opening period with Jim Chomey adding a ’ second,goal later on. There was no scoring in the setond period. Early.in the third, St. Jeromes came close with a good, goal by McArthur but the Artsmen annulled that goal a minute and half later with their third. their final tally came with a minute to go end the championship game 4-l. Looking over the playoff action that preceeded this final. We see that the determined artsmen deposed the ’ Upper Eng team that had gone undefeated since the fall of 68. It should have been apparent at this point that this was a team that would not be denied. St. Jeromes had an easier road, to go, as they met and defeated two teams f.rom the village, their semifinal was a 4-O win over Village N. So congratulations go out to the Artsmen ,for capturing their first team trophy, the Bullbrook cup.

Last Wednesday’s game in varsity arena looked like another action packed meeting between the Blues and our Warriors, with first place as usual on the line. No one was disappointed, on that account, but, about a thousand Waterloo fans went home with a sour taste in their mouths, as our Warriors just couldn’t get it all together and went down at the hands of the Blues 5-3. The Warriors started out strong and for awhile it looked like they were going to run the Blues out of the rink. Toronto seemed content in taking wild runs at US and leaving the play making to some.one else. As usually happens, the Blues got the first opportunity and made it count, as they banged home the puck after Young had made the initial save. With the first score on the board, the teams really opened up and the fans were treated to some fine end to end hockey. Good penalty killing by Sephton and Farago on Laidlaw’s minor, preceeded the picture goal of the evening. A fine rush by Nicholson, ended with a drop pass to Laidlaw flying in on the right wing. Who with some adept stickhandling passed across the goalmouth to the hungry stick of Bobby Bauer, who made no mistake and tied the score. The joy was not long to savour as the incensed Blues stormed Ian Young and a goal mouth pass from Holmes was put away by Hickox, who was waiting unmollested. This was unfortunate, for the Warriors had played good enough to be taking at least a goal lead into tie dressing room, not trailing by oneThe second frame started off slow, but the Blues soon warmed up and seemed to be all over the ice.. It was only some fine saves by Young that kept the lead to one. This changed when Buba made a dash down the left wing in the process of going around the defenseman, cashed in on a bank shot off the stick of the sliding Warrior. The Blues’ cheering died

down to the familiar tunes of our own Warrior band, who had just arrived. For some unknown reason, this was the lift that the Warriors needed and Laidlaw finished off a Nicholson play, only two minutes later. This was quickly followed by Dave Rudges’ slap shot score on a perfect set up from Morris. Ian Young kept up the Warrior spirits with a fine stop on a close-in-try by Holmes, who in his frustration charged Bauer and picked up the first of two similar penalties. The period ended with Nicholson picking up an elbowing penalty and the game all tied at 3-3. The second period intermission was highlighted by a fine musical performance by the Lady Godiva Marching Band. It was nice to hear them play some good music, after their headache producing pounding earlier in the game. Among their selections were Space Odessey, Can-a-da and the theme song of U of T, Mickey Mouse. Toronto carried the play to the Warriors in opening the third, mainly due to their one man advantage. With the penalty only two seconds from completion, De-, benedet scored on a partially screened back hand shot that beat goalie Young. The Blues at this point appeared content to let the Warriors carry the play to them and try to make their one goal edge stand.

As has been said before, the Blues have a two goal lead before you step onto the varsity arena ice, and this seemed to be the case tonight. The Warriors played excellent hockey for most of the game, but when they let up the Toronto gang were there to make the most of their chances. Christmas presents for coach McKillop could include a stronger third line, so that he could giye his first two lines a few more breathers in big games like this, and another defenseman so that McKegney could do likewise. Overtime

I have deliberately refrained from talking about the poor quality of refreeing in the game, so that I wouldn’t taint the game report with what could sound like sour grapes. To say that the officiating at tonights game left something to be sesired, would be the understatement of the season. But at all the games so far this year, the same could be said. Toronto in trying to overcome the problem, have

: Young, Palecny. Rudge, VujoVic, Branston, Laidlaw, Hall/ Morris, MCKegney, Bauer, Farago, Nichleson, Sephton, Simpson, Hogan, Scott. Blues: Cole, McDowall, Debenedet, Wright, Parsons, L’Heureux, Buba, MCCan& Holmes, Peterman, St. John, Hickox, Lysionek, MacFarlane, Swanick, Davies.

reverted to hiring their referees from the Toronto Hockey league and not the OHA. This does not seem to be the answer. No matter how bad an official is, if he is from the OHA, you are reasonably sure he will be from out of town and so, neutrally blind. When the ref is from the same town and only naturally involved in some way with the fortunes of that towns’ college team, there is reasonable room for doubt about his impartiality. Such was the case tonight, granted he did blow a lot of calls for both teams; this reporter couldn’t help feel that some things were let go for other reasons than incompetency.

Warriors

Enough said, I will leave it at this, Zip Thompson will never referee any peewee game that I’m involved in. Oh yes, Ian McKegney did get some of the recognition he deserved, he was chosen the second star of the game, behind Davies who won top billing for the Blues, on the strength of his empty net goal and past performances.

With Laidlaw off, McKegney simply drew more attention to his already fantastic job on defense, as he kept the Blues from any serious scoring threats. Both goal tenders performed herculean feats in the nets, with Young stopping Holmes on a labelled shot and Cole robbing Bill Hogan. This set the stage for the final tally of the night. Knowing the odds against removing your goalie and scoring, McKillop had no choice and the obvious happened. A loose puck was scooped up by Davies’ and shot into the vacant net.

Dave Rudge is about to convert a perfect Jim Morris pass into the third and final Warrior goal, for the Varisty goalie Grant Cole shut them out the rest of -the game.

CHILDHOOD

Deutscher University

Press

$4.95

The

publication of Lenin’s childhood, under the editorship of Tamara Deutscher is ample evidence of the loss sustained by the world over Isaac Deutscher’s untimely death. This short essay, a mere 67 pages long, was intended to be the first chapter of the final part of Deutscher’s trilogy the ‘magnum opus’ of a life of diligence and conviction - a marxist analysis ,of the russian revolution through the lives of its main protagonists. This ambition resulted in the publication of a biography of Stalin and the monumental three volume Trotsky, the definitive work on the subject. Isaac Deutscher’s intellectual credentials antedate this flurry of political biography; they are rooted in his involvement as a social actor, as a former member of the polish communist party, as a purged trotskyist, as an intellectual unwilling to submit to idols from no matter what source. Throughout all of this Deutscher not only maintained his integrity but took it up himself to try to answer the most-mounted question in socialist circles to date. This commitment provided him with the task of, on the one hand, weeding through soviet superficialities and falsifications to get to the heart of the. matter and, on the other hand, trying to maintain some perspective within the - obscurantist atmosphere of ‘free world’ academic circles. Lenin’s Childhood is an exploration of Lenin’s early youth which takes us up to the execution of his brother in 1887. Deutscher sensitively portrays the family’s development in relation to the changing moral and political climate of the time. One is struck by the complexity of his approach, at once methodical, sympathetic, yet not uncritical. Happily, he rises far above the jaundiced approach brought to the subject by such lesser observers as B.D. Wolfe - there is none of the niggler in Deutscher. Paralleling Lenin’s development is the intellectual maturation of his brother Ilya. .There is much

There is a certain ‘modernity’ in Ilya’s overwhelming frustration, the unrelenting sense of ‘impasse’ which led him finally to the ranks of the, Narod-

naya Volya.

The most surprising revelation is the lack of political development we witness in Lenin. One has a picture of him as a precocious, ebullient, at times bitter young man, with intense intellectual powers. Deutscher skillfully outlines the development of many of Lenin’s salient character traits, but refuses to create in him either the great revolutionary or the bloody dictator. We are left with an impression of a liberal youth who would, at the time of his brother’s trial as a regicide, have the ‘honour humbly to ask His Excellency to admit me to examination.. . ’ so as to graduate from the gymnasium. Not the least important aspect of this work is beutscher’s writing style. In commenting upon his desire to write the study on the russian revolution he suggested that he hoped to produce ‘a triptych of some artistic unity.’ One can only remark on the quality of this understatement. Deutscher is certainly one of the most lucid, literate historians to date. He exhibits a complexity of experience and style and a mastery of language which culminate in an exemplary prose. His work is hung together like a well written novel and is as pleasurable to read. Certainly the work has its limitations at least, in so far as it only begins to deal with the topic, the rest of the job remains to be done. But it is just in this area that its importance rests. Despite its brevity Deutscher’s analysis, though inchoate, is discernable; the continuity between this and the works preceeding it is evident and it is in this light that we can glimpse its true importance. In the future any foray into this area is in some sense susceptible to evaluation by the standards set through Deutscher’s scholarship.

Is executive for‘image

conqyn. or students?

So! It might come to pass that all the hi-schoolers, the bikers and other non-university types will be thrown out of the campus center at 10 o’clock. What good will that do? Does it mean that more straight students will come in and get smashed at the pub and make a nuisance of themselves or is it just in case a reporter shows up late at night he won’t see anything immoral? (Juice freaks don’t count.) Or, to put it more rationally, does the executive board really think that such a move will increase student use of the building or is it just to improve its image? First of all, to hell with image and Globe and Mail reporters, the place is supposed to be used and not looked at. Secondly, I think that the exaggerated reports about bikers and pushers are more to blame than the ac-

tual people themselves in scaring students away from the place. That is something that the study committee should look into, why more students don’t use the building. Mr. Brown in 1 as t week’s chevron made it clear that he subscribes to those exaggerated reports and consequently advocates calling in the narcs. However, despite popular belief, there are not enough hard drugs being pushed to warrant such a move and even soft drugs are not very evident. I agree with ‘him that the turnkeys should exercise more power if the only alternatives are to restrict usage or to call in the cops. There is also the theory that if more young people and bikers showed up on the streets of K-W because they couldn’t go to the campus center, then the townspeople would be more aware of them and be willing to give them a place. This strikes me as

being unlikely because there are already a lot of young people and bikers on the streets and noone seems to be bothered about them. _It’s true that we, as the ones who are burdened with the problem now, should ‘be doing something about it but do we have to kick out the kids before an alternative is provided? Perhaps Larry Burko could inform us as to what he is doing along these lines and what we can, do to help. Maybe we could invite the Lion’s club some friday night to look at the place. Seriously, because they are supposed to be interested in young people and are looking for something to do. In the meantime, however, a curfew on the campus center for non-university students is not going to help the problem much, ours or theirs. STUART VICKARS man env 2

Usually I can read grossly inaccurate reports in the chevron with a chuckle (at times, muttering a few unmentionables) and promptly forget about them. That I am compelled, hopefully with a minimum of emotionality, to comment on your two recent articles on . the strange “goingson’.’ in the social-personality division of the department of psychology is an indication that, to me, this time. you’ve hit a new low. Paradoxically, I believe you’ve succeeded in alienating many of those whose case you thought you were pleading. If you doubt this, ask around. It is the privilege of the individual qua individual to hold private opinions, however distorted; it is the duty of one who communicates publicly, especially in the mass media, to report facts as accurately’ as possible, if only in the interest of justice, and you have failed in this. Just where did you get the “facts” mentioned in your articles? How could you use inaccuracies to excoriate individuals whose actions may not have suited some members of the socialpersonality division, but who are certainly not guilty of deliberate maleficence ? The .following relevant facts are a matter of record: There was no department of psychology ten years and certainly no division of social-personality. (The division was initiated in the fall of 1966.) Therefore, the report that members within the division for ten years were not consulted in the present instance is sheer nonsense. From the beginning Dr. Lerner was specifically authorized (yes, and given carte blanche) to set up the division as he saw fit. Some reasons for this will be apparent later on in this letter. Let me add that the decision to ask’Dr. Lerner to come to Waterloo was endorsed by all of the faculty of the division and by a substantial portion of the graduate-students. The decision to dissolve the present division of social-personality and to create a division of social psychology were made almost simultaneously. The decision was made by the chairman ’ of the department, Dr. Dyal, not autocratically as you suggest, but after consultation with the graduate officer and the departmental planning committee.

l%e present faculty members of the division were advised of the proposition at a special meeting (held november 16) and their reactions requested. With one exception the proposition was approved by the faculty, members as being the least painful alternative. Another fact you should know is that antecedent to Dr. Lerner’s arrival there was general consensus among most of the faculty of the division, at least, that vigorous leadership was needed to offset a growing divisive tension within the division - tension that was, in great part, a product of the unnecessary political meandering and presumptions of power among some of its members, tension that was sapping its tremendous ’ research potential. This fact is contrary to your claim of congeniality within the division prior to Dr. Lerner’s appearance on the scene. It was hoped that Dr. Lerner - an eminent psychologist, researcher, and teacherwould be instrumental in reconstructing the division along more productive lines. You are wrong in suggesting that any graduate student has been, or will be, screwed. A considerable portion of the aforementioned meeting (one-third would be a conservative estimate) was spent in reassuring ourselves that none of them would be victimized as a consequence of any changes. (Dr. Lerner, incidentally, has responsibility for three of the ten students in the division. ) All conceivable barriers- to the orderly progress of the students toward their degrees were examined and plans for avoiding them articulated. I emphasize that the students are to be fully protected. (At a subsequent meeting, most of the students appeared to be satisfied that this was so, but I have no written comments on their reactions.) Now for some observations and questions on the modus operandi of the chevron as exhibited in this instance (and others I could mention). Yours is a style of reporting that is the bane of good journalism. For example, quotes are attributed to Drs. Lerner and Dyal,. even though you report that “both Dyal and Lerner refused to comment.” Is this reasonable? Is’it fair? Is it justice to castigate individuals who do not have equal opportunity to respond or who may choose not. to respond? (After all, your periodical is not a tribunal.) Is your failure to obtain an inter-

view adequate reason to defame or destroy ? You really ought to think and assess the facts you have before rushing to your typewriter! Incidentally, even though Drs. Lerner and Dyal may have t been unavailable for comment, did you consider approaching other faculty members involved, if only for confirmation of your material ? You suggest that you did in one instance, but if so why not indicate at least the substance of the interviews? Condemnation by innuendo is never justified. My name is prominently mentioned in your article. Did it ever occur to you to check my reactions before “taking my side?” Who is Dr. Malzan, anyway? Hopefully, this article is not representative of his research sophistication. I realize, of course, that you yourself may not have had a hand in the article. But an editor has to share in the consequences of his subordinates’ handiwork. A chevron,. according to Webster, is a distinguishing mark to indicate service. May I suggest that you contemplate seriously the name of your periodical. May I further urge you to guide the efforts of your staff writers. If you don’t, their intemperate reports will further diminish the credibility of your periodical in the eyes of the more responsible members of this academic community. DONALD M.

THINK

IT MAY

BE worthwhile

‘make a somewhat unusual plea for 1 the university, and I mean for the public responsibility of the university. Not

’

that it is unusual to assert that the university. has a public responsibility. All P. that is unusual is in the way you see that responsibi!ity. Society has a right to expect the university be more than a refuge of scholarshiR from the clamour of the marketplace. It has a right to expect it to perform a / _ J social function.. \ There is no doubt of the fact-it is a matter of simple observation - that north american society does expect the university to do something for it. Governments - in’ our case primarily provincial governments-acting in- the name’ of the taxpayers, are highly conscious of how much they spend on universities, and as the bill goes up and up, they are sometimes perplexed ,as to whether the society -they represent is getting its money’s . . worth. That is rather a coarse way of c looking at so fragile and artistic a thing as l-$gher education, but given our market-minded civilization it is perfectly natural, and quite right. Society should be _ getting its money worth. _

Wrong

product

es_

-’

,’ l Diagnosis

-We must say bluntly that society, and the governments which represent society, are not getting, and cannot get, their money’s worth as long as they ask for and expect the wrong product, and that in large measure they are asking for the wrong product.. They have not always done so, though they have always asked for much the same product. It was appropriate enough for socJety to ask simply that the universities reinforce and transmit the values and the knowledge on which the society was bas- , ed and by which it operated, and perhaps add a little to the knowledge. But the main thing was to reproduce wisdom, and to reproduce people who could use it. Society still asks this of the universities. But in a sick or-distracted society this is no longer enough; indeed, it-may stand in the way of what most needs doing. The university can still do the things it has always done, but if it makes this its main or its only task, its resources are being not only underused but wrongly used. + -~ , -And if society asks it to do this, society is not going to get its money’s worth;

t i

What a sick society needs most is diagnosis, at every level of- its malfunctioning: ecological, physicological, political, and above all (or below all), to use an oldfashioned word in little repute these days moral. It needs diagnosis not just of what has gone wrong with its mechanism, but what has gone wrong with its values. Those whose powers of reflection have not been pulverized by the information and entertainment industry, as well as those who are on the short end of the affluent society, or in the sick ward of it (perhaps I should say in’ the sickest ward . of it), know or sense that there is something ‘basically wrong. I need not catalogue the ills: it is enough to point to one of them; which can stand for all the rest: We in Canada are.of course holier than the Americans, but we have not rid ourselves of complicity in their war in Vietnam. We do not know how to do so-because we are not clear in our minds about what is basically wrong. We don’t know whether it is wrong to be un-American, or wliether that is so wrong as to deserve the penalties now imposed on those who are. And we seem equally at a loss about . all our home-grown ills.

Who can doubt that we need clearer diagnosis? And where better than in the 1university, with its intellectual resources in the natural and social sciences and the humanities, can this be done-indeed -where else in our society can we expect it to be done? If it is to be done properly, it has to 6e an intellectual job; it needs hard thinking as well as action. And it has to be a critical job. If we in the universities don’t do it, responSibily and critically, others will-do it, on the streets and on all the varied battlefields of modern civil war. It seems to me to follow from this that the primary function of the university in a sick society, the function which society, should be asking the university to perform is dissent: dissent from all the received diagnoses which have failed. That is the only way society can get its money’s worth from the university in our days. It may seem odd to suggest that a going society should finance its own ‘critics, or even create them. But in the first place, it -is not likely that society puts itself in any great danger by promoting the university as the center of dissent. Less danger, at

any rate, than by not doing so. And less danger than academics .may-- think, for most of us are apt to delude ourselves into thinking that we are indispensable to the ongoing work and power of a society. This, I am afraid, is a delusion. ,The world’s work would not come to a halt if universities disappeared - not for several decades at least. The delusion that it would is shared by, but not unique to; those radical students ‘who seek to capture the universities as a means of bringing about the destruction of the existing social order. But what would very likely come to a halt if universities disappeared, and will come to a halt if they ‘abdicate their proper critical function, is society as a morally defensible affair.

Court jester

I referred a while ago to mediaeval society and its comparative moral slability. I think it is-fair to say that its comparatively healthy moral tone may be attributed in part -to an institution which most mediaeval political and ecclesiastical communities maintained, and which we might think of adapting to our needs. I refer to the institution of the court jester or fool. The function of the fool was to,be outspoken: to cut through- the adulation with which the prince was surrounded, and speak the truth to him about anything or everything in his court-to keep him in touch with the reality beneath the illusions sedulously fostered by the court. The sensible prince valued his fool highly and guaranteed his security; permitted, indeed encouraged, him to say what no one else in the court would dare to say: The prince *new that he needed this ser-. vice,.even though what the jester told.him might often be immediately displeasing. We no longer live in a world of princes ,,and courtiers-we live in democracies.

Protection A sovereign people, being so numerous, cannot -make do with a single jester. It needs a multiple one. And this multiple jester must be made an institution under the protection of the sovereign people. I Where else can we find, in a modern SOciety, such a multiple institutionalized jester but in the institution of theuniversity? How much protection and support .by the sovereign people does this multiple fool need? More, I suggest, than the single

court fool needed from his prince. For the democratic sovereign people is beset by more than one layer of’courtiers seeking favors from the public purse. We rejoice in free enterprise, which offers the highest rewards to the enterprise of those who can use the favors of the government to increase their profits. The politicians-the successful ones, that is, who wield power in the name of the sovereign people-are thus put in the difficult position of trying to speak in the name of the people while having to assess what trade-offs they must make inorder to get the resources needed to ensure that they will still be speaking in the name of the people after the next election. The politicians, that is to say, must double as representatives of the sovereign people and as courtiers of that sovereign. So we have two important layers of courtiers of the democratic sovereign, not to mention the whole array of interest groups which also exert not inconsiderable pressures.

The diffeience

The difference between the courtiers in a modern democracy and the courtiers of a mediaeval prince is evident. The earl- 1 ier courtiers waited on the prince-they stood around the sovereign but were separate from him. The’modern courtiers have managed to get inside the sovereign: 8 they activate the sovereign people, speak’in its name, and bear its authority (at least between elections). And to do so they must frequently make things seem other than they are ; .and they are in a position to do this much more efficiently than the old courtiers were generally able to do. All the greater need, therefore, for the sovereign people of every country and province to ‘maintain a multiple fool, the university. And all the more support and protection the university needs from the people. Let me finish by saying that if I have one criticism of this gracious ceremony, it is that you. did not think to furnish this cap and gown, symbolically, with bells, to mark me as a representative of the coming academic guild, the institutional fools -of the democratic market society. This article his been adapted from a paper by C. B. Macpherson, professor of political _ economy at the university of Toron to abd past president of the Canadian association of university teachers. r

To actually realizing your excitement is be touched by another person’s joy, hope, aspirations, convictionsat once your spontaneous affirmation of another human being-is an experience too many of us have chosen to drown with our emotions in an indifferent world. Sad. How long has it been since you were truly excited by a friend’s discovery of himself-how long has it been since a frjend even assumed you would want to share his discovery. More often than not we presume sharing something like this will only embarrass the poor victim; for humans today talk at one another, not with one-another and joyfully ignore the commitment that necessarily is a vital part of deep and sy- . mpathetic understanding. Consequently, there arises an examination of the surface tensions in human relations, and quick, allegorical vignettes are constructed to capture what is found. These.. are known as Opinions. The world turns on opinion. People move on opinion. Opinion justifies judgement, righ ts wrong and forever makes it unnecessary to delve deeper into inter- -personal communica tion. Opinion finds its life-.blood in immediacy, the bombardment of media and fact which is turning the world into a beehive where communication becomes instantaneous response to given inputs. There is great concern with who, when, where and what. Communication becomes the assimilation by ‘x’ number of people, of the appropriate dogma; there is no time for commitment to the discovery of self and self-in-others because these exist no longer. Why? Why are there only selves; commodities, ripe for capitalist or ideological expolitation? We are all drowning in our selves; unable to breathe freedom because of our Opinions and choking on the weight of grad designs and instantaneous but meaningless communication. And through it all + “I love you” means, nothing more than “it is convenient for me at this time, given my financial status and long-range job prospects for the future, to consider supporting you and eventually perhaps one day creating offspring to carry on our tradition.’ so-what? Why? it goes. Winding up this year, we note that of all the hysterics pouring from the PSYdepartment over Iast week’s article by Jerry Malzan, not one of our dear professors addressed themselves -to the problems that the students complained to us about. ‘if you read carefully, everyone was concerned on/y with public jockeying to maintain the correct line and make sure their priviledged position with the psych heirarchy remained just that-a privileged position.

The furniture in our apartment was designid to “‘selfdestruct” in a matter of weeks; the paint was peeling off>he walls and baseboards-and at all times there was a foreign smell...a smell I have never “tasted” before...’ poverty does have a smell of its very own!

My environment had washed away my previous habits. And then I realized why people who live in the slums are the way they appear. If you order anything by phone and give your address, there is an immediate reaction of disdain from the clerk or the taxi dispatcher. If you ask your landlord for a window screen, you are told that if you don’t like the place to get out. And the most degrading part of ail is to see the middle classes driving along your ‘street on a sunday afternoon, hoping to get a glimpse of a dirty child or a sagging tenement to fulfil1 some sort of sadistic desire. I woke up one evening while standing in a rain storm on the front street, clad in bathing trunks, a bar of soap in one hand and a face cloth in the other. The whole building had waited for Nature’s shower for two and a half weeks, because our plumbingwasout of order. We were bathing in rain water because our plumbing was were bathing in rain water because there was no water in our taps and the* landlord was still debating whether or not it was economically feasible to fix the plumbing. We had become used to each other’s body odour, but I gagged each time I used the washroo’m because the air was polluted with two weeks of “unflushed” body waste. Yes, I woke up and decided I couldn’t take it any longer.. For a long time I shall feel guilty because I could ‘leave, but my neighbours had to stay. M,aybe I did not have enough stamina or will t-o maintain my personal characteristics in that situation... Maybe it is only the weak who live in gross conditions...

It is hoped that the words of the preamble

by the stiact commitcouncil en-

submitted

at the

university

a statement on the organization of institutionalized power relations within the university. This report was rejected by the university of Waterloo committee on the study of university government. In response, the three student members of the committee tendered a minority report which was made public in October, 1968. Both the original proposa/ and the later report represented th-e last attempt by student government to realize the rhetoric of liberalist democracy. We are much wiser today. The university is an institution which has been integrated into a world system of institutions. As such, it shares the basic values of that system. The university as a liberal institution still manifests all therhetoric of value-freedom and may even on occasion protest against injustice in a feeble moral tone. On the practical side, however, the university is the training ground of the ‘managers’, the laboratory of the corporate enterprise, the ‘evil scientist’ of the war machine, the great mediocratizer, the great leveller. * * * At one point, groups of aware students believed that the university afforded an opportunity to begin to remake the entire system of domination (imperialism). The marshmallow engulfed us. We were drowned in a sea of rhetoric, an’ ocean of li-. beral crocodile tears, a hail of bureacratic obfuscation. The bayonets of ‘our’ troups in S.E. Asia are represented at home by the glib smiles of administrative functionaries. And yet, we are beginning to make sense of history. We cannot change the world by an act of will nor acts of terrorism. Our decision must be strategic. At this point in time, we see the need to work in areas other than university government. You cannot fool us any more with your redundant meetings, your meaningless statements, and your halfhearted promises. A new sentiment is being expressed by students across this continent. We are through with the games, with the deception. We affirm the principles of student-faculty control of the university, not because this in itself is a meaningful change, but rather because it affords the possibility of real change. 1 , We will continue to work with this committee because this possibility is open to us and because the decisions of this committee will affect all students, hut we must at this time express our own frustration, and the frustration experienced by the many other students who have been involved with this issue over the past four years, in trying to effect meaningful change in university government. 0 BEGIN WE would like to submit The pro/Lsa/

rec-

Section 4 (general powers) We would like a definition of the ‘aims’ of the university.’ Section 12 (constitution of governing council) We feel that the faculty, staff and students of the university should make up a minimum of Z/3 of the governing council. The control of the workings of the university must be in the hands of those who will be affected by how the university operates. The size of the G.C. also comes into question. We feel that: l the council should be a fixed size 0 the council should not exceed 50 members. The following breakdown is recommended: chairman ex-off icio faculty student staff lay

1 5 16 9 4 . 14

total

We’ feel that governing council members who are to be elected should be elected from the constituancy as a whole rather than from faculties within the consituancy.

This would affect a more democratic governing council. As it stands, now faculties comprised of 506 members will be electing as many members to the governing council as faculties with 2000 members. Having constituancy-wide elections will also provide for an increase in the number of faculties within the university and insure the democratic election of members who would be elected from and by the entire constituancy. Section 18 (chairman) The chairmanship of the governing council should not be restricted to the community-at-large but should be’ open to anyone who the council sees fit to appoint. Section 19 (Powers of the governing council) The federation would like clarification of the terms ‘control and conduct’ as well’ as a definition of the intent of the initial paragraph of section 19. Section 19 (p) (ii) (the university shall confer honorary degrees) : Delete (see discussion of section 21, bylaw 1) Section ‘20 Delete and add ‘The University shall have jurisdiction over and entire responsibility for the regulation of academic conduct as set out by The senate committee on academic regulations and discipline in its report to senate October 23’1970.

If the university is to be a democratic institution it cannot legislate rules of conduct beyond those set down by our government.

It certainly would not be just to have a person paying a double penalty for any offence. Nor would it be democratic to have special consideration given to the university community by making its members exempt from facing the ‘law of the land’.

“A unicameral government

HE STAFF ASSOCIATION shares the conviction of many staff members, whether they have joined the association or not, that staff plays a vital role in the teaching processes and those areas and processes elemental to a learning environment, and that staff members are indeed qualified and justified in voicing their concern in matters pertaining to the university as such an environment. The staff association shares the belief of many staff members that the number of seats on the governing council renders this body ineffective-, and that representation of constituencies not immediately connected with the academic community (i.e. community-at-large and alumni) should at no time exceed the aggregate -dent and staff council.

The association shares the belief of many staff members that that sector of the university community which serves the academic side in an ancillary function deserves and indeed demands an adequate voice in the government of this

university, and that executive officers charged with the day-to-day execution of policy matters should not at the same time be the ones instituting these self same policies. Further, the staff association believes in the important role that affiliated colleges play in the intellectual life of the university community.

cost) should /our society provide for postsecondary education? We have postponed posing this question for a number of reasons. First, and in spite of all claims to the contrary, we belive that the basic issues facing post-secondary education in Ontario are not financial, though they certainly have financial implications. Rather, it seems imperative to us that the debate should centre on the functions and performances of our post-secondary institutions-where the problems lie. Secondly, projections of total costs always hide the assumptions upon which they are based and that almost invariably means the acceptance of the present status quo. Undoubtedly, a “presentstate-projected” type of prognostication is a plausible scenario for the future. Basically there are only two possible directions that financing of post-secondary education can take: either the students (and/or their parents) assume a greater proportion of the cost of their education or the state continues expanding its contribution. Theoretically, such direction could lead to the total transfer of costs either to the students or to the state. In practice, of course, neither of these directions is likely to be pursued _ to its logical conclusion. Yet unless we discover some principles, some reason for division of costs, our attempts to find a sound scheme of financing will be futile. .

Students to pay pay more? Shifting the burden of cost to students has many attractions. Much of the mythology that surrounds post-secondary education would be exposed to the harsh realities of the marketplace: the monetary and prestige returns would now be purchased at the student’s own cost; the institutions would be forced to charge to educational services only those functions (indispensable to that service-that is, resolving in practice the all but rhetorically insoluble problem of balancing research and education; it would give both the students and the institutions powerful incentives to be “relevant” to the needs of the students and, thus, perhaps to society; and, it, would help us to discover the real cost of education-together, perhaps, with some real checks on these costs. Combined with a scheme to subsidize those whose income (or parental income) justifies subsidies, such a shift in burden could be attractive also on the grounds of equity. As it is, we are not yet certain whether the middle and upper income groups do or do not reap an unwarranted advantage for their children through the present form of financing. Put more positively, it is plausible to argue that while we now support those who have achieved most academically, we are ignoring at least some of those who would possibly benefit most from further education. Since academic performance is often a reflection of socio-econo,mic background, such differentiation has obvious class implications. In this connection, it is worthwhile to recall that it has been only recently that we have begun to support students on the

fees, books and equipment; second is the cost of living while attending school; and third is the cost of the educational and social services that the school provides (fees, of course, can be viewed merely as that part of these costs that are being passed on to the student). By now the state covers by far the greatest portion of the educational and social services costs (through operational and capital grants) and it is increasing its contribution to the other cost (through holding fees down and by providing subsidized loans and bursaries to the students).

basis of financial need (bursaries, loans, grants), rather more than on the grounds of their academic merit (scholarships and fellowships). Indeed, it has been the recognition-and declared policy-of the Ontario Government that all qualified students should find places in post-secondary educational institutions that has led to the vast increase in the governmental share of costs. And given the investment already made, it is dubious that any extensive shift in the burden of costs will occur-if for no other reason than that government is unlikely to hand over its investment without strings attached, or, for that matter, that it even could or should do so.

Education as public

Taxpayer to pay pay more? If anything, therefore there seems to be more reason to assume that the state will continue to provide resources for post-secondary education. Whether these should be provided at an increased rate and cover an increasingly large proportion of the cost, is another matter. It is worthwhile, before answering‘ this question, to pause and reflect on the reasons for employing the services of the state in other areas. For example, it is clear that in some fields, such as administration of justice, defence, and collection of taxes, there are no alternatives to the state. In other ,areas, while there may conceivably be alternatives, we have decided, as a matter of public policy, that the state should perform the task: highways, primary and secondary education, are illustrations of these areas. These fields are occupied by the state on the grounds of indispensability to the welfare of society. Finally, the state becomes directly involved in areas where notions of social justice demand such participation : medicare and pensions, fall into this category. These categories expanded, we suspect, largely as a result of a shift in public philosophy: the state ceased to be viewed merely as a necessary evil and began to be looked upon as an essential instrument in the pursuit of positive social goals. Undoubtedly, many benefits accrued both to society and to the individual from such a shift. And yet, suspicions prevail-or are beginning to be rekindled -that if the old view of the state’s activities was unacceptable, our all too eager embracing of the state as a saviour is also full of pitfalls. The moot question about the financing of post-secondary education, therefore, is whether a shift toward still greater participation of the government would lead to some of the undesirable consequences of public enterprises.

Definition of costs

There are two main aspects of the problem at hand: one is the question of what kind of costs we are trying to attribute to the student and, if we wish to help him to meet these costs, on what basis will we do so. The total cost ‘of education to a student can be broken down into three components: one is the cost of

The absorption of the educational and social services cost at the post-secondary level by the state follows, more or less, the philosophy that underlies the provision of similar services at the primary and secondary school levels: the services are provided by the state but the upkeep of the children is the responsibility of the parents. Due to the differences in the age of students, location of the institution, and tradition, however, parental support of students at postsecondary institutions is deemed insufficient and/or undesirable. Consequently, the taxpayer is, being increasingly pressured to provide either direct assistance to students to cover their living expenses or to subsidize loan schemes. It is difficult to see how a democratic society can accept this special subsidy to a group of people who, by .a11 other indications, are already the beneficiaries of above average income parents, generally of better social and cultural environment, and with better future prospects than most of those who do not attend a post-secondary institution. If therefore, we assume free and easily available educational services at a tertiary school level, should the support of the cost of living while going to school be left to the individual and his parents?

Equality of opportunitya The mere availability of educational resources does not guarantee equality of opportunity: the socio-economic position of the parents determines much more, to the point of even entertaining the idea of going to a post-secondary institution. Hence, it is argued, the state should provide additional incentives and support for those with less favoured backgrounds. Here, we are back to the notion discussed earlier: the propriety of the educational system as an instrument of social justice. There may be other, more appropriate instruments by which our social goals may be attained. Moreover, it is open to question, given the age and, increasingly now, the marital status of the student, whether parental income or capital holding should be of consideration. But if it is considered, then we should be prepared to utilize some form of means test that would ascertain the true socioeconomic position of the parent.

friday

The most serious drawback of this scheme is that it does not take into account the various lengths of post-secondary schooling demanded by different professions and vocations and thus of the different costs. Moreover, both length and cost are greatest in professions with the highest incomes. It would, then, seem sensible to contemplate two possible alternatives: one, to limit the free, public supported educational services to a predetermined number of years-that is, in effect, prolong the opportunity for universal public education by, say, two or three years and then charge the full cost to the users for additional years; or two, to charge the full cost of post-secondary education to students from the very beginning. Obviously, such transfer of costs could not be accomplished without accompanying schemes to satisfy other social values, in particular, equality of opportunity. A number of schemes have been recently suggested that would link loans for students to their future incomes, thus accommodating both our desires for equality of opportunity and for an equitable distribution of costs. Basically, the idea is to establish a system of loans that would be available to students and repayable through an income tax supplement. In this way the payments would be related to income and repayable over a stipulated period of time. Thus instead of repaying the loan, the student would contract to pay back a fixed percentage of his income per $1,000 of debt each year for, say 15 years. If he is not able to repay within the specified time, then the loan becomes a forgivable grant. The government would finance sue h a scheme for yearly borrowing. The advantages of this type of scheme are many and are easily discernible: it is partly, or even largely, a self-supporting scheme, amortized over a long period;. it makes the student pay for his education and it relates its cost to his future income; it would abolish the privileged position of the student in our society; and, to some it would be advantageous because it would free post-secondary education from its dependence on the government. Furthermore, it would shift the financial burden from present to future generations-i.e., to those who benefited from education in the first place. The pension-type of financing would also lessen current and prospective public expenditures. The scheme also has drawbacks: it would not necessarily increase educational opportunitty for children of less privileged groups (the emotional barriers to heavy and prolonged indebtedness would remain) ; and it would force young wom#en to bring into their marriages “negative dowries. ” Most importantly, however, it is not at all certain that the exclusion of government from this educational field would -really be possible or even desirable. It would also tie attendance at post-secondary institutions strictly to financial considerations-with implications that demand greater thought than the schemes have been given so far. ’ Finally, it is not unlikely that government would be tempted-if not forcedto use the loan requirements for shortterm manpower planning.
