The executive of CUP is going. to prepare a code of ethics and a set of by-laws to remove references using the masculine pronoun from their policy. - Great fi’ying fishes! Don’t you think that’s a big step for a bunch-of radical university students? You’re right, as always, Pierre. Maybe Twatawwa should step in, No, Jerome, I’d wait and see if their proposed changes really have any effect. Well, Pierre, we’ll just have to go to one of theirconferences to find out then, won’t we? Right, Next years conference is in that great and prosperous province of Nova Scotia. But Pierre, don’t yeou think we’ll be recognized. I doubt it, Jerome, since only a few students know what we really look like. They like us so much anyway that they’ll gladly accept us as one of them. Right on, Pierre! L .

Dean cuts space; \

The decision by dean Pearson of the faculty of‘ science to give 18,000 sq. ft. of the chemistry buildings to optometry, earth sciences and physics has resulted in a conflict between the dean and the department of chemistry. ~ The dean informed the chemistry department of, the specific offices to be vacated by them, whereupon the chemistry 2 building committee was formed. It was concluded that the department could not relinquish the premises already occupied, with the’ exception of one office, the chemistry conference room and the chairman’s office in them 1, but they can offer 3,300 sq. ft. of unfinished space in the basement of chemistry 2. According to dean Pearson’s proposal the chemistry / department would loose 16 offices in them 1 and 2 with unsatisfactory< replacements such as two offices in the basement, remote from them research area. 0 allocation of room 104-106 to another department will mean either a split operation of the first year lab program, or evening labs ; 0 bchemistry is to vacate the biology building, which was basically the original intention on availability of space else- where, but the them building committee questions the exception made to rooms 164-166, -the . dean’s labs ; l the reassignment of 241-246

So far them chairman Reeves has remained non-committal on the issue, while dean Pearson has suggested that the chemistry department make its own

proposal to the university space committee. In an attempt to solve the dilema the chemistry building committee requested a meeting of representatives from all science departments “to establish space allocations within the faculty to meet the legitimate needs of each department, mindful of the limitations of the existing physical plan and the cost of renovations.”

The second motion concerned the possibility considered by village 1 council of charging dons, 100 dollars per term. This would increase the budget by over 10,000 dollars. The third motion pertains to maid-service. 50,000 dollars per year could be saved by cutting the number of maids by 25 per cent without effecting the quality of life in the village. The latter two suggestions, if both implemented, would save villagers at least 10 dollars every term.

Rome (CUPI) - Up to -lo million tons of oil are spillkd every year into the world’s oceans and there is no effective way to either clean up the oil or reduce the effect it has in poisoning all forms of ocean life. In a paper delivered to an international conference on oil pollution Max Blumer of the Woods Holes Oceanographic InWoods Hole, Mass., stitute, states oil pollution of the ocean involves anywhere from one to 10 million metric tons of crude oil and oil products a year. In the United States oil accounts for three-quarters of the 10,000 pollution incidents reported each year in the country’s water supply. Blumer says that counter measures are effective only if all of the oil is recovered immediately after the spill but the. technology to do\ this does not exist and all propoials to clean away the oil such as dispersing it or sinking it to the bottom are inefficient since the oil continues to poison

kills The oceani the marine life in one’ form or another. The use of detergents and dispersants harm in varjous degrees the environment even when they are supposed to be non toxic. “All crude oils are poisons for all marine organisms,” Bhimer says. “ . . . Long term toxicity (poisoning) may harm marine life that is not immediately killed by spills, and oil can be incorporated into the meat of marine animals making it unfit for human consumption. Crude oil and oil products@ may cause cancer in marine organisms. Even at very low concentrations oil may inter-, fere with processes which are vital for the propagation of marine spices.” _ Most toxic oil compounds are water soluble, making recovery of oil slicks futile except for aesthetic improvement, Blumer says. Trdatment with detergents even the non toxic ones, is dangerous because it exposes marine life to higher concentrations of sol,uble and toxic hydrocarbons and be-

cause it disperses oil into droplets that can be ingested and retained by many organisms. Natural bacterial actioh eventually decomposes spilled oil, but the most toxic oils disappear much more slowly than the less harmful ones and the possibility exists that the products of bacterial oil degradation may be more toxic than the oil itself. Blumer denied that marine animals will naturally avoid oil spills. Lobsters, for one, are attracted to crude oil, which leads to severe comtamination or death. ,_ Speaking of the damage done to Lake Erie by American and American-controlled corporations in the US and Canada, Blumer said that the same could‘happen tot the, ocean except that it vould take longer. -“A polluted small lake car; be reclaimed within a few years. L&ke Erie may or ‘may not be restored within 50 years, but a polluted ocean will remain irreversibly damaged for many generations,” he said.

Muffied students evjcted , from\ ptiblic housing project Eviction notices have been served on 60 married University of Toronto students staging a rent strike - at Ontario housing Corporation residences on Charles St. About 125 students began withholding rent two months ago to protest what they said were high rents. They voted last night to stage a march on OHC offices on Bloor St. today to protest the evictions. Clifford Smith, a spokesman for Montreal Trust Co. which manages the student apartment buildings, told a tenants’ meeting last night that they “didn’t pick any particular persons” for eviction- ‘-‘just two or three from each floor. ” The students began withholding rent two months ago, claiming their average rent of $160 a month is too high-$25 a month more than York University residences which thtiy say are better equipped and serviced. vice-chairWayne Roberts,

man of the tenants group, said the executive feels the rent strike must continue if tenants hope to gain any concessions. “Ultimately the law is against us. Our only chance is of bugging these guys into giving us some Robert said. “Our decisright,” ion is to hold on to the bitter end.” William Kent, chairman of the un@ersity’s advisory committee on housing, told the students that the university was guaranteeing the On&ario Housing Corporation full rent and any loss of revenue would have to be made up through the university’s operational fund.He said the result would be cutbacks that would affect all students and faculty. , “We’re quite concerned that another university in this city York can provide superior ac-, commodation that can be rented by students at a much lower rate,” he told the group.

E. Lyons,

Can you fiy in *be 1

face of U.-S. power? by Jerry

Malzan

When Pierre Trudeau wishes‘to cover up for the sell-out of this country he does so with a shrug of the shoulders, evoking a “c’est la vie” attitude. When Stanley Randal wants to put-,Ontario on the auction block like a used vacuum cleaner, he talks about the advantages to local labour. (the average student is the best judge of this argument.) And when Joe Greene submits to the give-away of Canada’s energy resources, he tells us about the economic advantages in selling quickly the soon-to-be worthless oil and gas. So it was no surprise to see another purported nationalist, in the person of Professor Ron Lambert, in the pages of the gazette not long ago, presenting himself as a dedicated Canadian patriot. The reason that he is a clearminded’ patriot, while I (as he attempts to make clear in the gazette) am not, is that he recognizes the value to Canada of american professors who believe that Canadians are halfhuman while I do not. With Canadian patriots like him: it is small wonder that the French are shouting (indeed, shooting) for independence from english Canada. I am speaking, of course, about the flood of mail arising from the recent chevron article on the department of psychology, commenting on the way that the american chairman, Dr. Dyal, dissolved. the division of social psychology and personality. In addition to Dr. Lambert’s masterpiece in the gazette, there also appeared letters in the chevron from professors Dick, Lefcourt, Brown, and Amoroso. (All are at least partly in psychology.) Since all of these gentlemen seem greatly confused by past events,-and by what is going on around them, this piece is written as a public service, in the hope that they won’t repeat their past mistakes. It will be put in point form to facilitate comprehension : l Dr. Lambert claims to have left the division of social psychology and personality last spring. But he never left formally, to the division’s knowledge. He continued to have students in the division. And he showed up at the last (december) meeting of the division, in order to hammer members of the division who might be responsible for leaks to the chevron. Quite a record for a non-member. But the kind of patriotism that professor Lambert accords his division corresponds with his patriotism to his country: Look out for number one. (Marvin Brown, in his letter to the chevron, comes close to saying that he left the division last spring as well, on similarly poor objective evidence. ) l William Dick (also of counselling services) wrote in to say what Americans, by and large, make up the cream of the crop, both personally and professionally. A question comes to mind: Why have the canadianization people been unable to recruit even one of these first-rate intellects to debate the americanization of Canadian universities? Or is the knife in the back the more typical american response to a debate? I recentlylearned that one of the few non-americanized Canadian members of psychology (Harold Miller) has been fired. He has six papers in respected journals, many concerned with his up-coming PhD. It will be interesting to watch Dr. Dick, the proud Canadian colonial mind, in his defence, or non-defence, of Harold Miller. l In regards to my wife’s nepotism, (Dr. Lambert notes that she is associated with the Canadian research committee) perhaps the psychology department should be warned that my wife is using her salary to buy up all the shares in Uniwat Incorporated. Watch for the trouble when she’s in control. l Near the end of his letter to the chevron, Marvin Brown writes “No one is being screwed and no one’s career is in limbo as a result of these actions .. . ..Nor do I see the careers of any faculty or students jeopardized,....“. Now tell us about Harold Miller, a faculty member who opposed dissolution of social psychology, being fired. And tell us . about Mike Hanrahan, a graduate student, who was kicked out of the division for coming to its defence. All of us will be interested in your objective analysis of how these people came to be unworthies. Nevertheless, it is nice to have some members of the department of psychology on record, after the chairman has refused to talk. (With reason, it seems.) The colonial-mindedness of the faculty members should not be a cause for concern- it is to be found among the members of any highly paid segment of Canadian life today. People on high wages are always willing to go to bat for the system which feeds them. In the present struggle for the Canadian mind, and (more importantly; the Canadian land, the american professor, and his Canadian quisling, is of utmost importance. If you, the student, decides against continental integration, then we won’t have it. If, on the other hand, you go along with economics head, Wientraub, and his crew of economic internationalists (that is, USA Inc.), then we will almost certainly cease to exist as an entity distinct from the United States. But there is a third choice: You can always do like Professor Lambert. You can start a fight for Canadianization, and then quit when the going gets a little rough. It is not easy to fly in the face of american power. Jerry

is acute, but his social vision is myopic and unreal. The assault is in fact an act of faith which issues from an overly simplified conception of the enslaved (read: the worker) and the oppressor (read: the state). These essentially religious categories, bearing only tangential relationship to existing conditions within society, impart a messianic sense of ‘historical mission’ to the young man which eventually lands him in jail. The ‘experiential end’ of the penal system quickly destroys these categories and forces him to face the crudity of the world. Berkman’s glorification of ‘the worker’ wanes in the light of contrary data; eventual;ly the will to live triumphs, the idealised cobwebs are cleared and Berkman begins to relate his life to a real oppression. Prison memoirs is a powerful account of human suffering; -it is Berkman’s capacity to suffer and the breadth of his compassion which allows him to identify himself with a degradation that is horrifyingly tangible to his delicate background. The *picture of prison presented to us is unpleasant in the extreme; the gamut is narrow-sweatshop, discipline, solitary, insahity. Berkman documents the route time and again. Yet the book is anything but a saga of submis’ sion-its merit is that it portrays resistance and struggle in a different light, uncluttered by political rhetoric. The fight is for the preservation of human dignity in the face of onslaughts by sick ‘keepers’, deranged ‘trustees’, stools and a warden who is perverse. Prison life educates Berkman to the world around him; after 14 years he emerges a stillconvinced revolutionary, but now mature. Implicit in the book is an indictment of prisons as a method of dealing with ‘socially unacceptable’ behaviour. They stand condemned on all fronts-the problem is not dealt with, it is merely hidden and obscured; inmates are not convinced, they are rendered submissive or insane; in sum, our gaols provide little more than legalized emporiums for sadis tic personali ties. Prison memoirs is recommended reading. Berkman shows a flair for language and a mastery .of description ; creative insight, uncompromising integrity, and honesty concerning the most personal subjects render the work a masterpiece. The pictures he paints unerringly play havoc with the reader’s emotions, the result ultimately is an involuntary loss of intellectual ‘distance’ and ‘composure’. Prison memoirs is a radical document, an empirical study ‘and a personal testament, all in one volume.

On January lst, Northern Electric Laboratories became Bell Canada-Northern Electric Research Limited; Canada’s largest industrial research and development corporation. To mark the fact that this is not a mere change of name, we have devised a new formula. And with it, a new symd bol. Together they portray research, but let us explain. Next to the figure of man stands the circle of the world. Next to the world, an arrow indicates direction. Man plus world plus direction create our symbol of people reaching out to the challenge of their env7ronment.

In China, the m&physical scene and its unfolding drama have in essence been set by Taoism. What is Tao? In the “Tao Te Ching” it is stated that Tao cannot be grasped in words alone. Instead one must experience “It.” So this article only , attempts to freeze a few glimpses in words and leaves the rest to fate. In general people identify Tao-ism with mountains, sky or else @th quiet meditation and eccentric behaviour. mese things however are an outer skin which hide the deeper purpose of merging into the natural rythmn of the universe. -Meaning what? Meaning to realize: internal personal truths (human nature) and external truths (occult, spiritual, etc.), where both are inseparable like the two faces of one coin. Assuming it’s a good space, what method should one use? A fool proof method does not exist. The method in fact is irrelevant as long as you are sensitive and aware of things. Now to develop a feeling for this, the usual methods are: do breathing, and concentration exercises and meditation, and raise your family and perform your job well. Sounds rather simple and naive, no? Considering that we use the mind to grapple that Tao, with external reality it is not surprising ism primarily stresses the human mind e.e. the human Tao. It is crucial to be in harmony and at e&e with yourself. Still, man has always been too hung up on instant gratification, he cops out of looking inside his soul. In the rat race we stoop to brute force or clever cunning. Ambition makes us overdevelop one part of our personality at the cost of the others. It is to balance this dangerous situation that Tao-ism advocates detachment and “noninterference.” Note, this does not mean lying in a corner like a dead log. It is rather a none-interference with nature. We should relax and let nature take its course. All natural actions are sound, they need no justification because human _nature is innately OK! If you follow your true self, everything will bebfine. Does it sound risky maybe? But in Tao-ism the “fall” of man is imputed to an imbalance which he himself can even up. To be aware of nature and ‘to. act accordingly requires keen institution and quick relfexes. The unexpected natural actions of Tao-ism were notoriously unconventional in ancient China. - Paradoxically, to be really spoii‘taneous and free presupposes a sensitivity to nature which can only be developed with tenacity and perseverance. At each instant the master knows precisely whether

to remain silent or to burst into action. He functions as a smooth unit because all his faculties (reason, institution, willpower) are neatly integrated. His vibrations are in tune with Tao! Strange as it may seem, science is very similar to Tao-ism. Research’uses a systematic discipline (in theory and experiment) to obtain a scientific truth while Tao-ism uses self-discipline (in the physcial and mental sphere) to realize a spiritual truth. Both demand impartial objectivity. But what is “objective” in the human context? - It is to know the word “balance.” In life, finite man travels through the infinite spectrum of truth and at any particular instant can only perceive the immediate region around him. Consequently his truths depend on his relative po&ion and can never be absolutely objective. However, he can have a balanced view of his situation-Note th,at the region, his view and he himself are continually changing so that only his balance is constant. A sage maintains a proper perspective and keeps his cool all the time. Truth then is a multi-coloured rainbow. Tao is a multi-layered onion and people are like cabbages -each layer is true and yet relative because to the outer skin it is ‘inside’ whilst to the inner space it is ‘outside.’ Say you are rapping with your friend. How much of him can you see? His body and clothes are only the exterior. His way of talking, of holding hands and body might be the 2nd cabbage leaf. His personal feelings, the hidden meanings, the 3rd. There are deeper ones underneath these. What is his unconscious like? What makes him go? A man of insight penetrates through successive lajlers; the outer ones are not so much wrong as less necessary for his existence. Tao-ism and science have several Jhings in common: both seek the natural, the integrity in man and things, both .admit they are relativethus there is no easy standard of good-evil or black-white. One’s principles are imperfect and will later on be impraved with insights. Dogmas form the letter of law while we want the living spirit behind it. Both, demand commitment. Science must be applied to industrial projects and convictions put in practice, it is essential to act because a belief is only a hypothesis whose flaws need to be eliminated through experience. Only then can progress be made. The secret to Tao-ism lies in a balanced development of your talents, your natural thing.1 By not interfering with nature you will automatically behave as the situation requires. Thus you will be in touch with Tao and become a contented man! Tao being an onion, this article is only relative and you should contend with “It” in your own way. ’

Swimmers

to a second place finish

staff

The university of Waterloo swim teams continued on their winning track trouncing the university of Windsor and Royal Military College before a standing room only home crowd Saturday. . The Athenas drubbed the Windsor girls 90-34, while the Warriors took the Lancers 77-36 and RMC 88-16. Lee Fraser broke two Athenas records in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle in 27 seconds and 1:03.0 respectively. Both marks were lowered by a full second. Fraser also won the 100 backstroke in 1: 17.5. Joann McKinty knowing there is nothing like success to celebrate a happy birthday also smashed two team records she already held in the 50 and ,100 breaststroke races. The new times were 35.8 and 1:18.4 both seven-tenths faster than the old mark. Judy Abbotts had the pool to herself when yet another Athenas record fell. Abbotts lowered the 100 yd. butterfly mark by 1.1 seconds to a fast 1: 07.9. The Athenas ran up victories in 12 of 13 swimming events and placed one-two in five of them. Besides this, diver Ann Stiles piled up the points on the one and three metre boards to win both events. Other standouts were Joy Stratton winning all three races entered, the 100 individual medley (1: 11.9), 200 freestyle (2: 20.7), and the 400 freestyle (5: 08.4). In all three events her closest opponent was another Athena. The Warriors like the Athenas didn’t fall in any opponents wake Saturday, winning nine of 13 events and coming in one-two in five of eleven races. One team record fell in the 400 yd. freestyle

behind fellow teammate Joy Stratton.

opposition

relay set by George Roy, Brad Walker, Bruce Murray and Terry Little. The new record, a full second faster than the old mark, stands at 3: 39.3. George Roy and Doug Lorriman led the _ Warriors, both picking up double individual victories. Roy won the 200 freestyle and 200 butterfly in times of 1: 59.0 and 2 : 17.7 respectively while Lorriman went 2: 26.7 in the 200 yd. individual medley and 6:22.3 in the tough 500 yd: freestyle. Daryl Lovejoy in his first year with the Warriors was second 2.5 seconds behind in the 500 freestyle. Warriors Terry Little was given the judges decision for first place in the 50 yd. freestyle over Rick Douglas of RMC both with identical times of 24.45 seconds, while Dave Robinson won the long 1000 yd. freestyle in 13:02.95 with another Warrior Bruce Allen coming home in second place. Diver Lester Newby won the one metre diving outscoring Gil Delaire by 5 points while Brian Hilko came in second to Delaire on the three metre board. Before Christmas in a meet at Windsor the Warriors defeated the Lancers .73-30. The Warriors, only ten strong including one diver, due to exams came away with seven wins, and two seconds in 11 swimming events while Brian Hilko placed second in both the one and three metre diving events. Freshman Brad Walker grabbed three wins-in the 200 yd. freestyle, 200 butterfly and 200 breaststroke. It was the third time this year Walker had lowered the team mark in the breaststroke, this time to 2: 29.4. Warriors George Roy also won three events capturing the 1,000 and 500 yd. freestyle races and the 200 yd. individual medley. The freestyle relay team of Rolfe McEwan, Brian Bachert, Terry Little and Brian Cartiledge rounded out the Uniwat wins in Windsor.

In conjunction with a project currently underway in the school of integrated studies the chevrov here presents, booklist which could be a the germ of an “alternate’; valuable source of new, sometimes radical always exciting opinion and study for all students. The subject areas include topics from, science to predicting the future, and fin all cases,present challenging arguments which often contradict the normal appreach to scientific and empirical studies characteristic todate of work in university disciplines.

What makes a lot of passes and consistently makes a big score? A U of W engineer? Hardly. Try the Warrior hockey machine. That well-oiled, white lightning team of ours. If you haven’t seen them play yet you’ve missed a helluva lot of good’ hockey. In action, our hockey Warriors are as good as many professional teams. Have you seen Dave Rudge slap the puck from the blue-line? Have you witnessed a blue-line? Have you witnessed a breakaway by Dennis Farwell? Have you watched Ian Young or Ian Scott stick out a pad, skate, or shoulder to stop a “sure” goal? Every game the Warriors play, this and more is guaranteed. Last Thursday the Warriors got it all together to trounce the Waterloo Lutheran Golden Hawks -8-4. The exhibition game was-played at the kitchener auditorium. The Warriors usually take most of the first period to get warmed up. Then they start playing like a team instead of a bunch of individuals. This was the case again last thursday. The Hawks and the Warriors played scrambly hockey for about fifteen minutes. Each team managed to score a goal during that time. Rudge from Farwell and Kilpatrick. D’Amico from Ernst. ‘Then it happened. The Hawks ran into a couple of cheap penalties. Holding and elbowing the referee called it. With a man advantage the Warriors went out front 2-l. Five Warriors were inside the Hawk zone. Bob Bauer had the puck. Then Ian McKegney. John Hall stood alone at the corner of the net. McKegney passed. Hall scooped it into the open side. Three unanswered goals in the second period put the game out of reach for the Hawks. Simpson scored after only 48 seconds. Four minutes later, Dave Fargo received a long pass from Simpson. He zipped in unmolested from the side to slide the puck under Bob O’Donahue. Then at 8:04 Farwell tipped in a pass from Rudge. O‘Donahue caught off guard, was as surprised as the Warriors to find the puck in the net. Warriors’ scoring opportunities far out numbered the goals scored. O’Donahue turned back Greg Sefthon once and Bill Hogan twice within two minutes. In doing so, however, he often lodged himself in his net. It became painful after a while. O’Donahue left the game in the third period with what I’m sure were strained muscles-all over his body. Midway through the second period, Ian Scott replaced Ian Young in the net. The Hawks immediately staged a brief comeback. A pass to Tom Ewer in the slot resulted in a quick goal at 10:34. Ian Scott was defenceless at the time. With Fargo serving two minutes for charging, the Hawks added another on a scramble in front of the net. That made it 5-3. The Warrior machine churned up the, ice in the third period. Bob Bauer scored on a thirty foot slapshot at 2:31. Farwell added two more to complete a hat trick. His second was the quickest wrist shot in Waterloo County. The flogged Hawks, while shorthanded, showed some spirit on their fourth and final goal. Brian Grainger got a lose puck at center ice, sped in alone, and beat Scott on the stick side. On a four on one attack with two minutes re-

maining, the Hawks failed to score. The shot was wide. George Blinkhorn who replaced O’Donahue did some professional goaltending. He made superlative saves on Rudge and Morris. Too bad he doesn’t have a defence in front of him. Of the sixteen penalties handed out, the Hawks received nine. The Waterloo defence still makes mistakes that ~ result in shots on goal and the opposition isn’t checked too closely in front of the net. It’s possible that the goalies, Scott and Young aren’t keeping the defence on their toes. You can catch McKillop’s Machine on Wednesday at Waterloo arena. The McMaster Marlins will be in town.

There was just no getting away from the determined Warriors as they warmed up for the Guelph Invitational with victories over Windsor and RMC 61% to 26% and 21 respectively..

Some things make us nervous: Some things turn us into a kind of stranger to ourselves. The old dryness of the mouth sets in. The sweat starts down. How about those job interviews, where all of a sudden you’ve got to stand out very clearly from the herd? Inside half an hour you’ve got to establish yourself to a world you never made and may not even like. Does the prospect make you just a little nervous? No? You’re lucky. Oh, it does? Join the club. It gets us all, even those over thirty. You could write a book about being nervous about interviews. As a matter of fact, we have written a book. A little one: “How to separate

yourself from the herd”. It’s packed with practical tips on how to go to an interview on yo.ur own terms. We wrote it because. we’ve been there. Without any modesty whatsoever we can tell you we’re a company whose very life depends on our skill at comingface to face with strangers. Our little book is tucked into a bigger one : The Employment Opportunities Handbook, a kind of dictionary of the companies who are looking. This brand new handbook is yours for the asking at the placement office. “How to separate yourself from the herd” won’t work any magic between now and your first interview. \ But it just might help.

B-bailers need consistency for u serjous run at’ title Those of you who have followed the university of Waterloo basketball team during the last few weeks will not be surprised to find they have changed their - name to the frustrators. Not since the Toronto Argonauts, has a team with so many talented players taken delight in frustrating everyone by their inconsistency. On december 21, our frustrators played Loyola in Montreal in the first round of their invitational tournament. Much to the surprise of everyone except the frustrators, they waffled Loyola 104-84. It must be noted that Loyola were picked as high as number three in the nation, so the frustrators registered quite an upset. This placed the frustrators in the championship finals against Adelphi university -of New York. Once again they amazed everyone by outhustling the long jumpers 60-50 at three quarter time. Then disaster struck as- the frustrators were outscored 27-6 in a six minute stretch, and ended up losing 83-74. Not to be discouraged by a bit of bad luck, the frustrators packed their bags and travelled to Winnipeg, where they competed in the Golden Boy Classic. A bit of good luck saw them playing the. Winnipeg Wesmen in the first round. You might remember, that we beat this same team by twenty-three points last year. Unfortunately, our frustrators hit Barry King, Winnipeg’s elusive guard on a hot night. Thirty-two points later, he alone had beaten Waterloo 81-75. So off to the familiar consolation round to face the mighty Calgary Dinosaurs, a team whose name gives a good clue as to the coordination of their players. For no other reason than the fact that we put our shoes on our feet instead of on our hands like Calgary, we won 59-57. The consolation final saw the frustrators facing the Windsor Lancers, who ‘have been anything but impressive so far this season. Once again we lost by six

0 THE CASUAL VISITOR from abroad, life appears to be comparatively calm and uneventful in modern-day fascist Spain. On a sunday night, the streets of Old Madrid are jammed with young men exchanging cheers and shouts concerning the afternoon football matches while the neighboring restaurants are packed with representatives of the new Spanish managerial class, frequently playing host to their american superiors. Barcelona’s brightly lit wide boulevards are filled with cars and Saturday-afternoon shoppers throng the sunny sidewalks of Seville’s central square. But it is a deceptive calm, a serenity barely masking the intense political ferment-which bubbles just beneath the surface of Spain’s outer reality. More than 30 years after the defeat of the Republic, a broadly based clandestine political network’ actively opposed to the fascist regime has emerged and is growing throughout France’s Spain. Its existence is known to the authorities, but its roots are firmly planted in the working class, among the university students and in the militant Basque liberation movement. As in all police states, the signs of popular resistance are not immediately apparent. The tightly controlled press provides an illusion of normalcy with its extensive coverage of international events. One can read in the pages of Madrid, for instance, a not unsympathetic discussion of Allende’s election in Chile and the possibilities for a Marxist-oriented regime there. But the news of Spanish life is assiduously fine-combed by the political censorship before it can appear in print. Bookshops feature window-displays of the works of Marx and Engels, ano american authors such as C. Wright Mills and Herbert Marcuse are available in translation. But one chapter has been eliminated from the Spanish’ edition of Noam Chomsky’s latest book because it deals with conte-mporary Spanish politics. Bob Dylan’s latest LP is selling well in the record shops and department stores, while no Spanish youngster of any means is without- some rock- records from the States. The Beatles, -of course, are immensely popular and even the records of Pete Seeger are now available in Spain, distributed by a company headed by one of France’s foremost intellectual apologists. But the records of the Catalan people’s singer, Raimon, can be bought only in the Barcelona underground.

Ideal for exploitation Even a fascist state, however, is subject to the laws of social development. A massive intervention of american capitalist investment has taken place over the past 20 years. Spain is, in many ways, the ideal area for such exploitation. The cost of labor is perhaps the lowest in all of western Europe and a friendly government increasingly dependent on american aid and capital is able to exercise a great degree of arbitrary control over the work force. But the growth of industry in Spain, while contributing only minimally to the welfare of the Spanish people themselves, has brought into being a new kind of spanish working class-one which, as the economy becomes ‘increasingly dependent on it, can no longer be as easily coerced and programmed. Until the early 1960’s, no working class organizations existed in Spain. After the Civil War of the 1930’s, the Franc0 government has smashed the trade unions while jailing, exiling and executing the existing militant leadership. The only organizations permitted were the officially sponsored sindicatos which are supposed to represent the workers but which functioned solely as instruments of control over the working class. But with the coming to maturity of a new generation of workers in Spa&, a generation almost completely cut off from its own pre-Civil War history, a new and unprecedented situation was born. Resistance to both the fierce exploitation of the companies and the total bankruptcy of the sindicatos began to manifest itself in the form of spontaneous strikes on a widespread scale. With the official “unions” unable to deliver the work force to the employers and with the growth of a popular and largely unfocus-

unity

Communist-Catholic unity has been a crucial factor in the growing strength of the workers commissions. So significant is this development that the regime has undertaken a serious effort to polarize the political tendencies within the commissions. On numerous occasions, the police have arrested workers commission leaders and suggested to the Catholics that they would keep the communists in jail so that the Catholics could take over the leadership of the commissions by default. One communist worker told how the police directly accused him of being a member of the communist party (a “criminal” act by definition) in front of his catholic comrades, assuming he would have to deny the charge and lose face with his co-workers. But his. response was to proclaim: “Yes, I am a communist! I have always been a communist!’ I will be a communist until theday Idie!” With this act of courage he not only won the respect of the Catholics, but the police were forced to release him in the face of a threat by the Catholics to organize a political strike on his behalf. Perhaps the chief characteristic of ‘the leadership of the commissions is their youth. A construction worker and a printing worker, aged 40 and 41 respectively, said that they were the two oldest members of their particular commission leaderships. Most are in their 20’s and 30’s and in the last few years commissions of Young Workers (ages 14-17) have been organized, based largely among auto and metallurgical workers.

Women

are active

With the rapidly developing integration of women into the work force, more and more women workers are assuming political leadership. Some 35% of the members of the central committee of the commissions’ overall organization are women, while in the young workers commissions a majority of the leaders are women. Among chemical workers, there is a 50-50 division between men and women and in the textile commission only one man is part of the leadership. In the past few years, political organizing among women on a family and neighborhood basis has grown extensively. Women militants working in their own neighborhoods have concentrated on both local issues (housing conditions, traffic problems, daycare centers, schools) and broader-based political questions. Last year a group of women occupied the cathedral of Madrid as a protest against the impending execution of a Basque revolutionary and women militants have invaded police stations and official congresses to dramatize the struggle against repression When Madrid women held a special mass in memory of two strikers murdered in Granada, police invaded the church and broke up the ceremony. Political women are, to be sure, quite conscious of the oppressive function of the codif ied male-female relationships of Spanish society. But there is no evidence of any trend towards Spanish society. But there is no evidence of any trend towards political feminism or separatism. Militant women believe that they have an equal role to play in the common struggle and that the struggle itself is ’ changing the consciousness of both men and women. At the same time, they assert that the social question is not yet in the consciousness of the women, in the neighborhoods where the realities of working class life have shaped a kind of roughhewn mutuality of both oppression and survival. In a sense, this is the most significant political conclusion one can draw about the struggle in Spain today: it is a struggle forged in the social reality of Spain, defined for the most part by the Spanish working class. Workers, revolutionary nationalists, students, housewives, intellectuals-all are attempting to find a unified politics capable of challenging the repressive state apparatus.

Just imagine the people of Ontario paying for 30 suckers to inhabit the fish #bowl. ~ They’re even planning to have extensive animal housing for a part of psychology that is quickly dying and being replaced by ‘human relations. Bert made another of those announcements on a new position for his “cabinet.” This one is vice-president, personnel services, a position that probably affects students most directly for it controls the services that students must deal with.
