Confrontation has demanded response from the WaterlorLutheran university administration as students continue their struggle for parity At a general meeting attended by 80 students tuesday afternoon a motion to occupy- university buildings was defeated by a mere seven votes. However, the students’ demand that student union president John Buote be admitted to a simultaneous board-of governors meeting to present student views was finally accepted when students congregated around the locked board - room doors. Buote and another student admitted forced the board to consider the “Albright plan”-an alternative to firing a professor for “financial reasons” by finding him another position within the university, . The -board finally directed university president Frank Peters to present the Albright plan at the board’s executive meeting in april. The board also directed a report due in may by a senate commission already established” to define the responsibility of the various segments of the university community” contain some decision on the parity issue. The’ commission has 10 members, three of which are students. _ Buote feels that under the circumstancesthe board of govern-

ors has responded well to the students’ requests. Others feel that although the board’s actions are far from satisfactory administration is at least being nudged in the right direction. If the pres_’
ent course is followed there will be no chance of student parity until the senate -- commission makes its final report in march, 1972. Students refusing to wait another year and a half intend to
press the issue further. “Administration is yielding we can’t stop now- We’ve started something and we must follow it through”, said Paul Jones a member of the task _ force on student parity.
Following discussions between them, faculty association president Roman Dubinski has reached an agreement with president Burt Matthews over matters of salary negotiations and policy making procedures. In january the faculty association candemned Matthews for his unilateral decision next year’s salaries. The faculty demanded that he keep the tradition of a salary steering committee which was agreed upon by the faculty association and past president Gerry HageYThe original agreement on salwas verbal ; ary negotiations which Matthews did not see fit to honour. Now the faculty is assuring their interests by spelling out the agreement in detail. Accordingly a 6 member salary steering committee will be set up each year. Matthews-will name three members with administrative responsibility in the university. The other members will rep-
resent thelfaculty association. The steering committee will “review and discuss fully‘all pertinent information and make recommendations for scale -adjustments, selective increases and amount of money to be allocated for changes in other benefits”. The recommendation of the s&ring committee will be presented to both presidents. Once they” have agreed with these they will make the recommendations to the board of-directors and the faculty association. If the president of the university and the- faculty association disagree the recommendation go back to the faculty association. If it supports its’ president’s views the university president informs the board of directors. However the last word still seems to go to Matthews. Each policy that relates to term and conditions of employment will be determined by an advisory committee set up ,for this pur-
pose. This committee will consist of two members appointed by the president’s advisory council who also appoints Ithe chairman ; two members from the faculty association ; and two faculty members appointed by the senate. The recommendations of this advisory committee will be forwarded to the president’s advisory council who will present them to Matthews. r He will in turn pass it-on to the faculty association. If it disagrees “further action will-be made at the discretion of the senate and the board of directors. According to Dubinsky this agreement is only partial answer to the question of faculty representation in administrative procedures. Negotiations are still in progress, and , further motions will be presented to the sen,ate at their meeting in april. These decisions will come up for review in four years.

Members of a campus. planning class as well as representatives of Kitchener communes met with Kitchener’s planning committee Wednesday board afternoon in the council chambers of the city hall. Most ,of the visitors had been hastily informed of the meeting and were expecting an informal discussion with the planning board members concerning ) communal living and the reactions of city administrators and residents to those people living communally. City planners, however, had understood that an argument in opposition to specific existing city by-laws would be presented. The original meeting was scheduled to be held at four o’clock, but, on learning that there was going to be about a dozerrguests, the planning board decided to hold a closed meeting and then meet the delegation afterwards in a larger room This upset. a number of those from the planning class who were interested in the regular working of the board. The open meeting was to be held in the relatively spacious council chambers, for many decades the setting for city council meetings and thus its wooden seats, penelings and tables were steeped in Kitchener’s old-world German traditions. A wooden railing separated the rows of seats for the viewers from the padded swivel chairs of the aldermen that surrounded a large semicircular table. This table in turn surrounded the mayor’s wooden throne, on top of which was inset incongruously an IBM clock. The visitors remarked on how only the part of the floor on the alderman’s side of the fence was washed, and proceeded to try out the various chairs and make

Council stresses In a s h o r t ‘meeting monday night, the new student council of the federation of students took over from the 1970-71 body headed by former federation president Larry Burko. New council president Rick Page - during a leisurely and confusing pro’cedure of calling the new council to order, adjourning for the annual general meeting, and adjourning again to’ call the old council to order - announced his executive, all of whom were passed by the new council. New executive members include vice-president Carl Sulliman, treasurer Tony Wyatt, external affairs chairman Heather Webster, publications chairman Don Nicholls (who is not a council member) and communications chairman John Dale. The outgoing council’s agenda, tabled when quorum could not be reached, will be dealt with at the council’s new next meeting march 22, ratification of the newly elected chevron editor, a request for funds from the creative arts board, re-allocation of funds for Radio Waterloo and the chev-

ron, and an airing of last year’s final committee reports will be discussed then. Among measures to be taken by the new council will be the forming of several standing committees to deal with sustaining student problems. The committees will deal with landlord-tenant relations, university residence procedures, graduate student affairs, liason with society councils and student services offered by the federation. Responding to questions after the meeting, Page said his council will provide ‘ ‘the opportunity to extend the somewhat unimaginative but sound leadership of the past 12 months into new areas of .. endeavor . ’ ’ Page added the only limit to involvement of the new council in the lives of individual students would be refusal of each councilor to use his imagination to its fullest potential. “I can only hope they will give me their aid as freely as their thoughts,” he said.

Seditious conspiracy, farces begin ugain for Quebec- trio MONTREAL (CUPI) - Apparently determined to keep three q’uebecois radicals out of contact with their society, the quebec government has entered seditious conspiracy charges once again against Pierre Vallieres, Charles Gagnon and Jacques Larue-Langlois. As well, Vallieres has been charged with 10 counts of either inciting to kidnap or inciting to murder. All three appeared -in court Wednesday and were read the charges by judge Roger Ouimet, the same man who threw out -a charge of seditious conspiracy against the three and Michel Chartrand quebec labor leader, and lawyer Robert Lemieux. “I’m just here by chance,” Ouimet informed Vallieres, Gagnon and Larue-Langlois wednesday when the defendants expressed surprise ,at his presence behind the bench once agains.

“Everything is by chance: justice has become a lottery,” Vallie-
res replied. At the same time as entering the new charges, the government dropped charges from 1966 against Vallieres and Gagnon that had helped keep the pair in jail for about three years. Vallieres also faces a charge of sedition for writing his autobiographical book ‘Negres Blancs D’Amerique’ (white niggers of america ) . Vallieres and Gagnon have been in jail since the war measures act was proclaimed act. 16, 1970, Larue-Langlois was out on bail and had travelled across the country speaking out strongly against the federal and provincial regimes. Vallieres, Gagnon and LarueLanglois are now charged with seditious conspiracy between january 1, 1968, and november 30, 1970.

committee for the defense of political rights in Quebec. The MDPPQ is a Quebec-based organization which is concentrating its efforts on ultimately preventing the replacement of the public order temporary measures act by permanent legislation which would most likely be implemented by the provincial justice minister, Jerome Choquette. The MDPPQ is currently trying to set up defence committees for all Quebec political prisoners across Canada. The movement will be created for those who oppose a judicial system which stages political trials under the guise of criminal charges. The movement also hopes to solicit

“The federation is not prepared to allow landlords to push students .around merely because he is a student,” this was the answer given by newly appointed vicepresident Carl Sulliman when asked what the federations stand was on student housing hassles. To back up this statement the federation has retained the services of lawyer Morley Rosenberg, who is available to all undergraduate students with a legitimate complaint. If a student feels he needs legal assistance he can apply to the federation and a council under arts rep Paul Dube will examine his case., If successful the applicant will be given an authorization slip which he takes to Rosenberg. Working for the federation for three years, Morley delights in
bringing landlords to court. He feels that under the existing laws the tenant is the underdog who is being trampled upon. Rosenberg finds that he usually has only to inform a student of his rights or call the landlord’s bluff. Attitudes often Change once the student has a lawyer behind him. Most common referals centre on a landlord trying to charge the student with lease-breaking or damages, or the student trying to collect his security deposit or tax rebate. It is with these two student discrimination is highest. The federation also puts up bail for students. who do not have the money. Since there have only been six requests in the last two years, either students are not getting caught, have the money, or don’t know of the service. Sulliman, wants the federation to do some research into the area of landlord-tenant relations. Specifically looking at the different types of student renting: yearly contracts, less than a year and c contract and casual week to week room and board. This analysis _ would deal with the quality of housing available to students and the costs involved. Carl is also _ concerned over the nature of the difficulties and why they arise. There seems to be some kind of which discriminates mentality between a citizen and a student. 1 As far as he is concerned all federation members are “citizens who just happen to be students”.

One of the main objectives of the Movement for the Defence of Political Prisoners in Quebec is the establishment of a $50,000 fund to conduct the cases of all Quebedois arrested because’ of views, factual or alleged, or their political convictions. Lastly, the MDPPQ hopes to launch a nation-wide anti-informer campaign to oppose the attitude and declarations of Quebec’s justice minister, Jerome Choquette, who has presented the informer as some sort of national hero. Justice and liberty depend on the unconditional solidarity of all citizens.

Michel Chartrand, fiery spokesman for Quebec labor militants, will be speaking at Waterloo Lutheran university on Wednesday, march 17 at 8 p.m. in room 1El. The event will be sponsored by the Waterloo steering committee for the citizen’s commission of inquiry into the war measure’s act. The Waterloo steering committee for the citizen’s commission of inquiry into the war measure% act comprises a group of people who concentrate their efforts upon researching the many implications of the war measures act. Among the question’s which the investigations of the commission hope to answer are: What was the basis for the invocation of the act, and were there any abuses of civil rights beyond the scope of the war measures act? Michel Chartrand is president of the Montreal central. council of the confederation of national trade unions and was among the first of many Quebecois to be arrested in the early morning hours of october 16,%immediately following the invocation of the war measure’s act. Chartrand is perhaps the, best known and most articulate spokesman for the defence of Quebec political prisoners. - He himself, was recently acquitted of allegedly being a member in the FLQ, which was made illegal by the war measure’s act, and its successor, the public order temporary measures act which is due to expire in april of this year. Chartrand’s tour of Ontario and parts of western Canada is being sponsored and coordinated by the movement for the defense of quebec political prisoners. His visit to Waterloo was arranged by the Toronto-based emergency

Larue-Langlois says he has no idea who Joyal is. is. The Vallieres charges are: Inciting Larue-Langlois to kidnap two (unnamed) members of the provincial government), inciting him to kidnap two members of the federal government, inciting him to kidnap two judges inciting Michel Joyal to murder mr. justice Ignace Deslauriers inciting him to murder mr. justice Ives Ledue, inciting him to murder mr. justice Louis Paradis, inciting him to murder Maurice Bourassa, crown prosecutor, inciting him to kidnap Gerald Pelletier, federal minister, inciting him to kidnap Marcel Masse and Jean-Guy Car/ dinal former ministers in the union nationale govemmen t.

I have discovered that on the question of national identity - around .which swirls the whole revived concern for Canadian - survival - many of the small “1” liberals, in every party, make a false and politically expedient attempt to do what they call “seeing both sides”. And so we have the sickening sight of Joe Greene, one of the extreme cases, after a lifetime spent in Canada, much of it in public life, discovering - as if by a divine touch - in the middle of a continental energy package discussion, that he is a Canadian. He is not, he discovers late in his life, a part of the U.S.A. That discovery (of being a Canadian) means traumatic adjustments for the Honourable J.J. Greene. It means for _ him that we cannot have a continental energy package deal? No, It means for J.J. Greene that he cannot sell out Canada, Canadians, and the destiny of the Canadian people in one big transaction. No. It means for J.J. Greene that he must do it piece by piece. He must sell out Canada and Canadians. carefully, in chunks, under a smokescreen of nationalist rhetoric . We must begin at the beginning. Canada is. Canada is the choice by a usually modest and reticent people, born of two cul. tures, formed by unique landscape, space, climate, internal and international relations, formed to a character marked by tempermental and philosophical stoicism, political and social organicism.

Chartrand?
A: The first time I met him was through the Catholic youth movement. Gerard Pelletier introduced us. That was in 1938 and he was 23 and I was 20. At that time he was very unhappy about the economic situation of Quebec. He was on a tour of North-western Quebec, visiting the newly-opened agricultural settlement frontier. This ided of opening up new farmlands in the north- was the Quebec government’s solution to the massive unemployment that existed in Quebec in the Thirties: Michel was convinced that this was a false solution for a society that was undergoing rapid industrialization.

A: I’m the daughter of a judge, the sister of a judge, and the granddaughter of a judge. My parents and grandparents were very independent free spirits, but not my brother. They were very independent, strongly independent members of the Liberal Party provincially and federally. They taught me very early that one couldn’t be very independent within the structure of the party in power since you have to follow the party line, to become a slave to the decisions of the financial establishment of the party. They were appointed judges, a little like a promotion, at the end of political careers because they were too independent, etc.‘ When I introduced Michel to my man. He father he said. “At least he’s an independent wants to spend his whole life in opposition even though that life will be very difficult. That’s fine because he’s a man who has a free spirit.” Q: How

it out altogether. Walter Gordon would woo them back to’ loyalty to Canada, so Walter Gordon - who is incidentally a great Canadian, a great man - is an ally on the road to survival and self-determination. I am going to put it to you bluntly. If Canada cannot be won back by parliamentary means very, very soon, it will have to be fought for in the streets with knives and guns, grenades and guerrila warfare. Anyone who thinks I want to say something like that is stark, raving mad. But if we do not win the 70’s, my friends, we lose Canada forever. Right now we are losing on every significant front; everyday we lose a little more - a rotten energy deal a few days ago, a textbook publishing house yesterday, a key job in Canadian life tomorrow. But come, lift up yourhearts. Up and down the country the Canadian people are shaking themselves from the long colonial sleep. We are going to have our self-respect. With justice to the strangers, we are going’ to be masters in our own house. NOUS ser- ons maitres chez nous. We have moved before in history, and we are on the move again. We have solved problems before without armed and violent confrontation: We may be able to do it again, though we have never before faced so great a threat to our existence, I admit it. What must we do? I believe we must act as a people, as a community - an honourable mode of behaviour in Canadian history where national identity and survival have been concerned. But the threat being greater now, we must act- together with greater resolution. We must plan our economy, we must take national steps, we must create crown corporations, we must move with love and respect for each other - for -the Canadian community. We will not have independence in Canada without serious and major steps described as socialism. No independence without socialism ; no socialism without independence. i ,-

evident, unswerving policy of the sell-out of Canada and the Canadian people. I don’t have time to go into the Canadian bourgeoisie in their role as Canadian managers and entrepreneurs. Mel Watkins has done that sufficiently already. Or to go into the Liberal Party alliance with U.S. capital and corporate goals. Abe Rotstein has been there already. Or to go into the sQ1l-out of a truly Canadian union movement by the NDP and; alas, increasingly, the Waffle Manifesto group - of whom (for that reason) I am an increasingly sad signator. Kent Rowley has done that already. I will say simply that we are being betrayed on all sides by the very institutions created to define the terms of our survival. We must see clearly what-is happening. We must see the simple fact of survival: we must see where power is at the present and we must act we must act to change it. Before I say what we/must do, let me leave no doubt in your minds about our Prime Minister. God knows that I, of all people, (I have been called a Canadian Nationalist) do not want to have to describe the Prime Minister of Canada as a silly, elitist advocate of continentalism and integration\ with the U.S.A. But there is nothing else to say of him. Shortly after his election, Trudeau was intervie.wed by Jay Walz of the New York Times. So spendid was his interview that it was read in its entirety into the Congressional Record of the United States of America. The U.S. Congressmen knew they had not had such a good Prime Minister of Canada in a long time. To use an image, Canada is a small, tough army, spread over a large territory, and filled with confusion about tactics, because unknown to the soldiers in the ranks, the high command has already signed the papers of surrender. To continue the metaphor. In the next couple of years the army of Canadians must decide whether to convince the high command to change its mind, or to wipe

long history, before and after con-federation, fundamental and persistent constitutional aspirations to achieve a condition beyond concepts of lunatic individualism (so popular in the U.S.A.) and without false categories of class (familiar in both of the European founding nations). But through the history of Canada the people of Canada have been bound together in a common, necessary, and definitive task: the task of survival, /a SUMvance Canadienne: Our history has been a story of a people determined to survive, in the face of a persistent, unrelenting desire by our more powerful neighbour, the U.S.A., to absorb, to erase, to annihilate what we may fairly term the Canadian fact. We have fought for survival to build a community beyond the concepts of lunatic individualism (symbolized by the U.S. Robber Baron) and without false categories of class, to build a peaceable kingdom from Canadian roots in Canadian reality. -. But we are in an age of betrayal. Daily we are being betrayed. It cannot and it will not come to good. The hour of argument is past. The U.S. is encroaching increasingly on our energy, our arctic, our recreation lands, our industry, our federal institutions, our universities, our media, our sea-shelf, our very minds. And nothing is being done from centre of government to assure Canadian survival. Whereever you turn, each day, we lose a grip, a little more, upon the fundamental instrumentalities of mere survival. Yesterday Larratt Higgins (of Ontario Hydro) did a quick sketch of the program of energy sell-out, by date and treaty, beginning with Lester Pearson and John F. Kennedy. (J.F.K. was much beloved in Canada because he was a soft U.S. imperialist rather than a hard U.S. imperialist. ) All the members of this Teach-in so far have agreed that we are without policy. “There is,” they keep saying, “no policy in my area of concern. ” They are wrong.

Trudeau?
A: We met him at political and social functions in the old days. And at the Asbestos and Murdochville strikes. We always said to Pierre that since he was a man of independent wealth, well-educated, a bachelor, that he was the man who could take-the lead in pushing socialist and communal ideas. Unfortunately, while he seemed-to-have socialist ideas, in fact his opinions were more aristocratic than democratic. We wanted him to take the leadership of a more socialist political movement instead of being simply a dilettante, but he was only a parlour socialist.

one knows his sympathies. He would like to see the Parti Quebecois move more-to the left, but he realizes that its present program may be an intermediate step. He doesn’t make public appearances on behalf of theP.Q. because it would create too much disunity in the labor movement for him to express his personal political opinions.
A: Yes, but in theory only, because Pierre Elliot had never been a member of any group. He agreed with the CCF, but he wasn’t a member; he agreed with the NDP, but he wasn’t a member; he agreed with the ideas expressed in Cite Libre, but it was always as an individual thing, never as the member of a group. It was one of Michel’s _greatest disappointments that Trudeau never accepted the responsibility of declaring himself publicly as a socialist or of joining a socialist party. Trudeau worked to defeat Duplessis with the unions and leftist intellectuals in Quebec, with the people of Cite‘Libre, but after that he wouldn’t go further than writing articles or making statements. He didn’t have much respect for the FrenchCanadians. He found them ignorant, badly educated. He came from a rich family, while most French-Canadian families were poor with many children to support because the Roman Catholic religion forbade birth control. They were at the bottom of the social scale with the lowest salaries. Pierre Trudeau always had a kind of contempt for the majority of French-Canadians. Q: What in Quebec?

Q: How was he arrested? A: He was arrested at our home in Richelieu, in the . country, very early in the morning October 16-about five o‘clock in the morning. Two officers of the Q.P.P. came to the house. They seized our lists of friends’ addresses and telephone numbers. They took Michel along with two other people who had spent the night at our place, a young student and a union organizer, who by chance had stayed the night after being out late with Michel at a big meeting at the Paul Sauve arena. We had no knowledge of the change in law..We asked tosee the warrant, but they said they didn’t need one, that they were operating under the emergency law. *We asked when this had been passed and by whom, but they didn’t know, only that they had their orders. We turned on the radio and both we and the police found out at the same time what was going on. Q: Why
CCF
A : He ran for the CCF in Lac St. Jean in 1958-59. He ran two or three times and was involved in the founding of the NDP. Afterwards he split with the federal NDP in 1963 to found the Parti Socialist du Quebec (PSQ) of which he was- president. The split took place because he was more socialist than the others, and more interested in Quebec’s independence and socialism. The others, like Charles Taylor, Michael Oliver and Laurier LaPierre wanted to stay on in the NDP with a strong federalist position. Michel opted for a socialist-independence party for Quebec which would support the. NDP in federal elections. 0: What is his role vi’s a vis the Parti Quebecor’s?
A: He is sympathetic to the P.Q., but he plays no role in the party. He can’t be active in the party because it would cause too much trouble within the CNTU. Every-

A: IvIichel has~ften quarreled with Trudeau, Marchand Drapeau, Choquette. It’s a revenge of political power. These men of power are having their vengeance on him , because, you see, of his generation in that group he is probably the only man who is not in power. It is political vengeance. They want to make him shut up. He’s always been the one who embarrassed everyone with his criticisms, even in the union executive. He disturbs the union establishment as much as the political and judicial establishments. So he makes a great number of speeches; he gives his opinion on just about everything; he incites the young people to revolution and it’s certain that his personality is being attacked more than anything he has said or done. He upset too many people; he. was ’ really very-free in his opinions. He had fights with Trudeau even in Ottawa. He’s fought often with Marchand, even with Marcel Pepin who succeeded Marchand as the president of the CNTU. So, they all want him to shut up. It’s the dream of all of them to shut him up.

costs, Matthews hoped that the province would not compel all universities to adopt the coop system that exists at Waterloo. “More intensive use of lab and ’ lecture space is the answer to cut-. ting costs,:’ in Matthews eyes. I This naturally lead to discussion on the recent report by Bernard Trotter on technology and television in the university. The report was received by information services last week but was not distributed to faculty by the . time of-the press conference. Matthews was reading it and . commented that using television in teaching was an exciting con- ’ cept that would be accepted by students. He mentioned that the arts 100 course will be the first course to be offered on TV for university credit. When questioned about the possibility of centralized TV programming of courses resulting in all students in Ontario ‘receiving the same opinions, Matthews reassured everyone that an economics ‘course taught at Waterloo wasn’t really-much different than an ecpnomics course taught at Guelph. When asked about the impiicar tions of such a vast centrally controlled system Matthews passed off the question by commenting that persons responsible for such a system would have to constant: ly watch that they were ensuring the right of individual expression.
Burt Matthews thinks _ only ten percent of any academic governing body should be students. “The influence students exert on the senate goes far beyond any voting control they may have,” commented the administration president at his bi-weekly press conference last friday. The administration thought they should announce that Jack Brown, former head of ancillary enterprises, was appointed university secretary effective march 1st. Brown’s first task will be to look at ways of getting alumni to produce revenue for the university. Brown was the only person asked to fill the position from three possible people. Brown’s appointment will afford more time for registrar Trevor Boyes to perform his duties in serving students. When questioned about what new university affairs minister John White would do, Matthews felt that he would take the approach of “more scholar for the dollar”. “He’ll definitely tighten up funds, but this would’ have hap: pened anyways, ” said Matthews. White is expected to meet with members of the committee of university presidents of Ontario today to ,outline cuts in education spending.

Irish sfru’ggle
W’Sduss, not Editor’s note: Bernadette Devlin, militant member of the british parliament wh,o recently spent 6 months in jail for the part she played in the 1969 Battle of Bogside (Londenderry’s Catholic ghetto), is on a speaking tour in the US. She is in North America speaking about the situation in ‘her homeland of northern Ireland, a country recently in the headlines for the battles of Catholics against the Protestants and the british army. The press has attempted to lay the blame for the fighting in Ireland on “religious prejudice. # In her speech at Oregon State university in Corvallis, Bernadette explains why this is a handy distortion of the real issue. The excerpts which follow were originally published in PortlandS radical paper, the Willonmette Bridge. l
I don’t know who you are and you may know who I am, but you don’t exactly know what’s hap-pening in the part of the world I came from. There is a school of thought prevalent in the U.S. and’ everywhere else in the world outside Northern Ireland. That is, that we have, in our small beleaguered country, religious prejudice. That seems to shock most people. But we don’t have religious prejudice really. You’re getting much too sophisticated in America for that, in this country, and so you sort of look back at our less technological, less complex, much smaller; less rich, more ignorant country.. You say, “They’re still fighting over religion. ” We have the international press in a dilemma. What is to be done? What is to be done about this religious problem-that refuses to solve itself? What is to be done by these people in the 20th century who insist on having medieval arguments about theology, when religion is a dying art in the rest of the world. And they don’t understand what’s happening, so it’s not surprising that you don’t since your only contact with us is through the “free press” of America, or the “free press” of Britain for that matter. Now apart from the statistics of a million and a half of a population in our six counties of N. Ireland, we have statistics that are much more relevant to the ordinary lives of ordinary people. ‘Cause you see we’re not really two-dimensional. We don’t live in the papers. We weren’t invented in 1968. We’re not just sort of casualties, in figures, of two sol-, diers, three Catholics and four Protestants, in the headlines of the national news. We’re people who live in houses, and rear families, and go<to work when we can get some; and we feel that in order to be able to do that, it requires a certain amount of power, a certain amount of . acceptance of our dignity, and of our right to live in decent houses and do a decent day’s work and be \ able to feed our children on it. That appears to me a certain amount of reaSon to ask of anybody. At this stage we’re not about to frighten anyone with any thoughts of revolution. We’re just talking about ordinary people living in ordinary houses wanting ordinary things. In northern Ireland we don’t have them. In America you don’t have them. / We have 10 percent of our male populationun; employed throughout the who1.e of N. Ireland. When you go away from the industrial east, the unemployment figures rise. We have 28 percent unemployment in the center of northern Ireland. As - you go further West into the more rural communities, we, have 40 percent male unemployment. And in areas of the city of Derry, like the Catholic ghettos, we have 50 percent and higher than that unemployment.

I
Now you see, those things aren’t interesting. They don’t make for good newspaper reading. It’s much better to tell the people of America that we’re just fighting over religion. In the ghettos where you’ve got 50 percent unemployment, the Catholics and the Protestants are given to fighting. They are not given to def,ending Papal infallabil-ity, the Virgin Birth, or the 34 Articles. They don’t care about what the bishop is preaching. What they’re fighting about is not their differences of religion but the fact that they both need houses. Both sections of the community need work, both sections of the community needmore money, and neither section of-, the community is getting it. That would appear to relate to the american situation. It would appear to relate\ to the european ‘\ situation. Then you come to the next stage in the vicious circle. Because we have high unemployment and therefore low wages and no security,\ those people who are’in power keep the working class fighting among itself. Again it’s the same situation you have. You have the discrimination between blacks and whites, between Chicanos and Puerto Ricans. You have a sort of graded system of who came in on the last banana boat, as to where his or her turn on the very bottom of the ladder is; and that person gets the end of everything. You’ve got discrimination. So have we, YQU see, so it’s not an Irish problem: Because again, whether you like it or not, whether you think there’s no working class in America, it’s a myth. To be working class means to be that class of person who produces the wealth of the world. And none of us produce it all on our own . . . Five percent who own and control the wealth of the world have more to do with their time than , come down here and listen to me. ‘Cause theg’ve heard it all before. My kind of body’s been running about for a long time; getting above their station, thinking the working class are actually going to assert this right of theirs to own the means of production. We have a government statistic in Britain. I’m quite sure if you look at the same government statistics in America it works-out just the same. Five percent of our population in Britain owns and controls 85 percent of the private wealth. Knowing that public wealth is money that comes out of the taxpayers’ pockets, comes out, of the pock.ets of working people into the government for the benefit of the communal people. What is private wealth, where does it come from? That comes from our work, too, but if this 5 percent owns’and controls 85 percent of the wealth then it would appear that 95 percent of us who constitute the-workers of the world are surviving on 15 percent of it. And that doesn’t seem to be democratic or fair at all. That’s real discrimination. We have lived under the system of capitalism for several hundred years. And we the working; class have been told that that is the system under which we must live. But our history tells us (and in most countries, in Ireland as with the black people of America) out history is unwritten. We know what capitalism has done for us. We have become the fodder in its wars in its profit making in its fighting against itself. We’re the cog wheels that keep humanity working in order to make money, to make power. We don’t like that. I think it’s quite reasonable that we shouldn’t like it, cause we are human beings, we’re not cogwheels. . 1

Presently playing at the Odeon is a- movie called Sunflower. It stars Sophia Liren and MarCelloMastroianni. These two stars complement each other and make a winning. pair. This was obvious in “Marriage Italian Style” and it is too bad that they didn’t get together again until now. Sunflower is a love story initially told/at a gut level. Only near the end does it become tender and heart-rending. However it does tend to drag in some parts. The story is about a couple of people caught up by world war II. The man is in the Italian army and marries a girl in order to get a twelve day pass. Slowly, imperceptibly, he somewhat falls in love with the woman he married and she with’him. He tries, -and she assists him, in an offhand strategem to get out of fighting. He attempts to get himself committed to an insane asylum. The ruse fails and instead is sent to the Russian front. (Alas that overused, overworked Russian front). ’ We next see her - Sophia Lqren - as an aging woman ‘still believing that her husband is alive. The rest of the story deals with her search into Russia, what she finds. and how the discovery is handled by her. A definite asset of the film is that it does not ‘attempt, in any way, to be a piece of propaganda, a category it could- easily have fallen into. It handles people both in Italy and in Russia as they are, for the most part considerate, and genuinely touched. by other people’s sorrow. The film goes through a few of the phases that love might travel. -First, the passionate stage is portrayed - a stage somewhat synonomous with a study in youth. Second, we are shown the frustration invalved in not accepting I that the person you love is lost to you.. It is a close up of -a woman aging prematurely, left with but a’ few memories to con-sole her and these .do little more than hurt. Third, is the pain one goes through when you find that your emotional sacrifice has been a very unfunny joke. In this section Sophia Loren discovers that the husband she has faithfully waited for is married to another woman and has fathered a little girl by_ his new wife. \ Director Vittorio De Sica manages to obtain subtlety and realism in showing how an emotion is subdued and driven out of a person’s soul in-order ,to suppress
reappears when your lover appears. \ The frustration of recognizing that love still exists -within you for a particular person, and the torment of having to give him up, is the final theme of the movie. Sunflower is an excellent film, penetrating and artfully done. The acting will not disappoint you - both Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni live up to their reputation. The scenery and technical aspects throughout are a pleasure to view. and the music is of an excellent quality. There is only one disappointing aspect and that is the short accompanying the movie. It is an insipid ’ propaganda piece for the conservative party concerning its latest white elephant “ontario place”. But despite the efforts of this obnoxious short to ruin an evening, the movie is still well worth seeing.
PIECES
OF DREAMS
From sunday through monday the Odeon theater showed ‘Pieces of Dreams.’ The movie, starring Robert Forster and Laureen Hutton, tells the story of a priest torn between his duties and the desire to live with a particular woman. In the process of this struggle three major issues are brought up. First birth control, then abortion and finally celebacy- - in that order. T,he church wins out on abortion but loses on birth control and celibacy. The movie makes a lukewarnattempt to look at issues and deal with them. No one would deny that these are important considerations ; however, the plot is weak and the acting is poor. The only- good parts ‘of the movie were during the confession scenes, which clearly revealed the church as an archaic and negative institution. This is exemplified when a loud voice booms out *‘Deny the flesh boy, deny the flesh.’ We see institutionalized guilt imposed to such a degree that the priests are neurotic.

FANTASIA Fsnr&, I’m told, used to be a movie for children. Now it’s supposed to be a movie to see only if one is on acid. This is not entirely true. Most of the audience last Saturday’ were either parents __accompanying their children or people such as myself who are interested in the relationship between music and art. The animation is a beautiful interpretation of several pieces of famous classical music. The movie was originally made in 1940 and the technical quality of the ‘cartoon’ is excellent. The movie starts with simple forms and shapes which relate to the simple Bach melody being played. This serves as a good introduction and suggests what the rest of the film will be like. The earth is created to the sounds of Stravinsky’s Sacre du Printemps. AS\ the music crescendos, lava overflows and pours - down j mountainsides, re2 forming the land. Microcosms appear in the overheated sea. The power of the music drops and develops again slowly, paralleling the development of life on the planet. The music again climaxes as the dinosaurs clash with each other in fierce battle. And so the film continues. Alliga tors march with ostriches as elephants blow bubbles for hippopotami to float on in D8nc8 of the Hours.
Evil beings take over ternporarily as spirits play to the sounds of Night on 8 Be/d Moun.rein. In the end however, good triumphs as monks wind their way through the countryside in the early morning hours accompanied by the famous Awe -._

Fantasia is an excellent example of art for art’s sake. It is beautifully done .and I don’t think that one would enjoy it more by being stoned on acid.

HAVE TAUGHT economics fpr over twenty years.. I have known countless students of earnest mien and intent who - not then taking economics courses - have asked “What courses should I take?” “What books should I read?” Thinking back on those conversations, I can recall that the farther back in time the questions were asked the more positive were the suggestions Imade. Nowadays there is an embarrassing pause, as I look into the questioner’s eyes to see if-1 am being put on (or down). Both the world and economy have changed for the worse and both are-connected. In what ways? In ways that make the same kinds of connections between what happens in Indochina and in Chicago, in the abuse of ‘technology and of language, in the pollution of our air and of political life, in the decay of our cities and our morality, in the militarization of our-foreign policy, L our economy, our lives. It is all, as the man said, a seamless web. (And what is said here about econ applies with about as much validity to the other --“social sciences. “) For getting straight on what’s wrong with economics, it may be useful to begin obliquely with another area of life whose development, being more a part of our daily livesj is easier to comeprehend. I refer to technology. Economics, for reasons to be indicated later, includes no serious discussion of the relationship between technology and economic life; but it does have an attitude. The attitude is that technological change is an unmixed blessing, reducing costs that somehow, some day, will be translated into lower prices and better products for consumers, making life better for workers, adding up, over time and in mysterious ways, to an ever-closer approximation to Nirvana.
’
. War-related changes As to how technological change takes place, economists have noticed that major breakthroughs have not been made in the backyards of neighborhood kooks but rather in research and development labs; what they fail to discuss, or even to recognize, is that all the characteristic technological changes of the present period have been warborn and war related. The liberated man in the street takes it for granted - whether or not he sees it as desirable - that the ideas and techniques generated by scientists and engineers have been adapted and used almost entirely by and for those in power. The farther -back in time we go, the more that has meant thepower of businessmen; the closer to the present we come - closer to the period of conscious and ferocious american imperialism - the more we are talking about the intrusion of military stimuli and criteria. -
.
Power is a great vacuum suction pump, taking, using, and spewing out what lies at- hand -’ it is held imaginatively, creating and, when opportunities for its-servants to push ahead more swiftly. But you can take a PhD in economics and never hear a word about it.
-
As with technology, so with education; and as with education, so with the training, the inclination, the rewards, the sanctions of professionals. Western economists are professionals (as they are also in socialist societies). By definition, professionals serve the system of which they are a part. The scheme of rewards and penalties within which this transpires is all the more powerful for being only barely codified, and, where c-odes exist (e.g., the requirements that lead to a higher ‘degree), there being the appearance that eaeh and every code has been decided upon individually and freely - even, in the view of the best servants of the system, creatively. There is no need of overall regulation and supervision, let alone codification. The rules that need no printing are, as Veblen said in another “the parchment on which the (rules) connection, are written.” To serve the system as an economist one need not be a mere parrot, repeating “supply and demand. ” Indeed, it should not be necessary to point to the continuous and sharp controversy that goes on within the other professions and for

was so intense the British were unconscious that ’ the doctrines they developed were put forth quite blandly as being for the welfare of all mankind. What’s good for GB is good for... What may be said of Britain’s institutionalized nationalism (to racism” of adapt the useful “institutionalized today) as it shaped the new economics, may be said also of the arrogance of the ruling business circles in Britain. The new economics assumed that the unfettered evolution of british capitalism was to the advantage not only of the entire world, but also, of course (and perhaps a bit sooner ) for the entire population of Great Britain. Adam Smith, Ricardo, J.S. Mill - not to mention Marx - would have snorted at that. The focus of neoclassical economics was how to make the most of limited resources (assuming unlimited wants) ; or, how to maximize efficiency; or, how to economize. That was economics. Their the classical economists, were predecessors, political economists - Smith, Ricardo, Mathus, J.S. Mill, or Marx, - they were concerned with the political, social, technological, distributive, and ideological setting within which the process of economic change took place. Neoclassical economics shanged all that. Their fundamental starting-point and assumption was - and remains - scarcity, which connected naturally with the goal of efficiency. Taken as given were time, social institutions, and technology, among other things. Placed beyond the analytical pale, in other words, were questions of quality\ of society, the nature of technology (let alone its meaning, and even more its changing meaning over time), and all questions of political and social change andconflict. What you may ask, was left for economists to analyze? Not entirely in jest, Joan Robinson (one of the very best professionals and also a radical of a high order) once said the apparatus was designed, at best, to answer the question: “What determines the difference in price between an egg and a cup of tea (ceteris paribus)?” That kind of question - about demand and the determination of relative prices - relates also to the determination of costs (under very restrictive assumptions, and with an attitude toward technology that must be called aloof ) , and finally zeroes in on optimum production schedules for individual business firms having no political, economic, or social power and therefore no interest in such questions (in the theory). Having begun with this tiny-point, the theory works out to the’ behavior of industries, and of the entire economy (with similarly restricted forays into wage and profit determination and foreign trade) and succeeds in building an inverted pyramid that is an aesthetic marvel to behold. It is also worse than useless for understanding the behavior of a modern industrial capitalist economy, because economists work out from this kind of theorizing into making policy recommendations that always run the danger of being taken seriously -. and that drive serious young people away from economics in droves. Those who are not serious, or who have just the right kind of neurosis, become economists.
Sticking with popguns One defect of neoclassical economics was that among the things it assumed away was the very possibility of the kind of depression we then had in the thirties.- Confronted with long lines of unemployed, with industrial production that fell toward the half-mark in three years after 1929, 2nd with businessmen whose swooping dives from their office buildings made circus acrobats uninteresting, the profession stuck with its popguns, and proclaimed that wages were ’ too high. In addition, economic theory (which had developed to fit the needs and inclinations of laissez-faire capitalism) also stated firmly that any government intervention to help the economy would in\ fact make matters worse. Politicians in the western countries couldn’t be so relaxed, and as the depression worsened and spread in the early thirties, policies were developed on a ramshackle basis to find work for some of the starving unemployed. But then, in the midthirties, Keynes and associates put forth the Gen.
eral
theory
of
employment,
interest
and’ money
which provided a rationale for what governments were doing, but also explained the depression. The explanation was, crude, pointing very simply to the relationships in a modern industrial capitalist society that mean full employment? far from being the natural and normal state of things, is something toward which and away from which the economy moves. More to the point, Keynes showed that the economy could fall into a depression and stay there, left to itself - as more than one economy was doing in the early thirties. Art copies nature. So stultified was economics that when Keynesian theory began to make an impact it was called “The Keynesian revolution.” By 1952 one economist whose intelligence outweighed his enthusiasm called it the “Keynesian reformation. ” More recently, a radical has analyzed it all as the “Keynesian Counter-Revolution.” The truth seems to be that everyone what, seen in perspective, at best a palace coup.
is making too-much of was a belch in church,
For Keynes too, was a neoclassical economist who, in his theory, left all the assumptions of that theory intact except for those having to do with the relationships between savings, consumption, and income. That was enough to allow a peep into why depressions can happen. It did not, could not, do much toward explaining the economy, let alone how politics and other social relationships interact with the economy over time. L It should be noted- that Keynes was clearly convinced, outside the highly abstract static theory, that industrial capitalism was stagnating, and that its survival required institutional reform to prevent socialism. His successors have performed trick: They have neglected this basic and neglected also to recognize that avoided stagnation by militarization.
a I neat concern, we have
Economists make sense? So, up to and including today, the profession goes on with neoclassical methodology, but now, instead of trying to figure out that egg and tea problem, and, even worse, quite without consciousness of what it is doing, tries to explain and to prescribe for the overall economic growth and unemployment problems of the USA, economic development in India, and just about anything else that hits the news that relates to economics. Economists since the thirties have tried to be in their New generation - they have tried to respond to the latest headlines or the system’s policy needs in -ways that set them off from their neoclassical progenitors. Fine. But they have tried to do so always starting and always returning to an analytical apparatus that was designed for an entirely different set of questions questions that set aside, to repeat, time, technology and technological development, social institutions, change, and conflict. When economists make sense - and that happens - it is despite their training, and because they are sane and observant.
Contemporary economists have also moved far ahead of their predecessors in technique, and far beyond them in levels of abstraction - all this while trying to handle questions that presume to relate to the real jungle of social relationships. For students of economics today, both undergraduate and graduate, what this means is that more time, energy, and spirit have to be drained and used in the mastery of technique - more and more and more. And what is neglected even more, over time, is the reality of the economy, the society. In short, the theoretical underpinnings of economics, give us a discipline whose theory works from scarcity to efficiency in its “micro” half in an economy whose human problems revolve around an insane structure of production, an immoral structure of income distribution, and a productive capacity that, far from having scarcity, has surplus as its problem (a problem resolved by increasing the insantity and the murderousness of the productive mix); and that, in its ‘ ‘macro” half emphasizes stabilization and measured growth ignoring the economic consequences of the former (unemployment) and the
social consequences of the latter (pollution, trivialization, and worse). To say all this is to say something else: The cornplaints of students, though justified in full when they point to dullness, irrelevance, and _what appears to be prostitution, are misplaced when they make individuals their- targets. It is a system that has produced our economics, and that systern is today in deep trouble. Therefore, economics,which was developed to serve a system that was growing in strength and confidence, is also in deep trouble.
.
The crisis in economics, as in the- rest of education, will be resolved if and when, and in the same directions, as we resolve our deeper social crisis. But the resolution will not be a favorable one if we seek to make it only by yelling at the - usually unconscious - servants. of the dying system.
A jungle remains a jungle until it is mapped, and in the development of economics in the past century very few have recognized the jungle. as existing, let alone as something to study. Those who have, have been radical, but they have no profession (or better, collective) with which to work. That’s what we must seek, and develop. There are many reasons why radicals even at their best have done an inadequate job - the jungle is complicated and threatening. But among those reasons is that we have worked so far apart from each other, in spirit as well as geographically. Education,, and within it, economics reflects and serves the society that supports it. This society is one struggling to change, and the primary task of radical economists is to show what it is that must be changed, why, and how, - and towards what. We need a theory of capitalist society, and of social change. Marx took us Qthe first few steps; the rest we have to do ourselves.

1Are dons necessary? Approximately two hundred villagers showed up at a meeting to discuss the value of dons and tutors as applied to residence fees, tuesday night in village 1 blue dining hall. At the conclusion of the meeting the-, general concensus was that no, one has enough information to make any sort of decision. This point was brought out by President Burt Matthews when he was asked by Paul Cotton, don of west 3, whether or not a warden would be appointed when the position comes up for consideration shortly. Matthews stated, “I honestly don’t know.” He went on to say that everyone he talked to did not seem to know. ’ The meeting seemecl to fall the way of all don-tutor and warden committees that get so bogged down discussing the value of dons and their roles that those of the tutors or warden are never discussed. So most of the discussion revolved around how necessary dons are. Robert Brown, don of east 4, felt that the only reason villagers think they can get along without dons is because they have them. Betty Trott, don of north 5, stated quite firmly that she thinks dons are very necessary, and compared them to having an insurance policy which “you hope to hell you never have to use.” The people who feel dons are not necessary, for the most part, have dons who are never around. ,Warden Eydt pointed out that he had circulated a questionnaire to villagers to evaluate their dons. Out of all the questionnaires about twenty five people thought dons unnecessary. Eydt asked the people who complained about dons why this didn’t show up on the form. He knows of two dons who should be removed but can do nothing since he has not received complaints in any official capacity. One villager replied that to his recollection the wording of the . question had been: “Is your don
adequate?” His interpretation of the question was that his don didn’t seem to do anything and so was. Many people pointed out that the problem is people don’t know what their don is supposed to do. When Eydt was asked to describe the, roles of warden, tutor and dons he described his job as that of senior administrator. He bases his decisions on the advice of his tutors and other advisors. The tutors help advise Eydt and the dons. One don said that he doesn’t know what he would do without the tutors for guidance. Some villagers seemed to feel that a paid floor rep would more than replace the dons. Other villagers pointed out that they would not go to members of their floors with certain problems. According to Professor Van Evra, a tutor, the don provides a focal point and helps to integrate the new villager. He has the don in common with all other members of his house. The don is also an information service, and can cut strings to get help for villagers in emergencies. . One suggestion was to charge the dons a portion of their room and board. This raised the question of whether or not the qualified people would apply for donships. Vince Dambrosio felt that since he puts a lot of time into his job as south quad council chairman and receives no monetary compensation there is no reason why people wouldn’ t- be dons for part of their room and board. Another suggestion had been to have one don for two .houses. The- dons immediately objected and stated that forty people are plenty to worry about without doubling the load. One villager stated a view that we would be better off if the village was run by professionals instead of academics, and hired counsellors instead of dons. A counterview stated that we don’t need the resultant split be-”
-
tween management and villagers, and that a system of managers would actually raise costs. If professionals come in they would be worried about the professional aspects, and “wouldn’t care if you were dying in your room, as long as statistically you were healthy and well fed.” The dons and tutors help to humanize the system. ’ Besides, as Eydt pointed out, since he and the tutors are primarily acagemics if they are threatened with loss of position they can say fine and go back to their departments. Because of this they can push for more and get at more people. The present don system in village 1 is costing 73,000 dollars for the eight month period, while the proposed system of “paid floor reps” would cost 15,000 dollars. Eydt put this in more imaginable terms. According to his calculations the tutors and warden cost each villager 5.81 dollars per term, and dons 13 dollars, and telephones 15 dollars. He also said that he has not been able to cut costs down in other areas. Eydt was asked about the results of an investigation by a management consultant firm. He replied that the firm recommended the abolishment of the positions of dons, tutors and warden. But they had talked to no one in the village nor had actually come on campus. Their source of information had been Eydt and Woodcock. The tutors and Eydt gave the impression that they really had the villagers best interests at heart, even if it meant losing _ their positions. Someone raised the point that maybe the tutors like the power. The immediate reply was “what power?” The meeting effectively ended when one villager said that if he worried about people with power over him he should get paranoic about Matthews, not the tutors .

OCIOLOGIST Peter Berger distinguishes the old left from the new left in terms of attitude: “The old left were puritanical, highly disciplined and violent,” he says. “The new left are basically hedonistic individualistic and peace loving. ” Berger’s insight is important in understanding the problem of Canadian sport. Most Canadians want to enjoy life, but the image of Canadian sport - conveyed by such institutions as 5BX and the national hockey league and reinforced by personal experienceis hopelessly puritanical, mindlessly authoritarian, and unnecessarily violent. Talk .about sport to any group of young people today and you’ll get a negative response. They don’t believe the professional athlete, presented to them as either a superhuman egaged in a battle thathas all the complexities of a morality play or an ill-tempered delinquent who must be c&sely watched by coaches and league detectives. School sport means compulsory haircuts, uniforms, inspections, monotonous exercises. What boy today wants to shave his head to play football? And yet far too many are ordered to do so. Sport in the school means pep rallies and cheerleaders, and while uncritical camp-following may be a favorite activity for many adults (remember grey cup weekend? ) it’s lost its appeal for many youngsters. “I’m embarrassed to stand up and scream for my school at a game,” says a student at Brandon college. “It’s not that I don’t want the players to win, but-it’s so silly to think the reputation of the university is at stake.” What hurts most about the disenchantment of the young is theknowledge that sport doesn’t have to be the way it is. It doesn’t have to be so exclusively competitive that all but the most skilled are discouraged from playing. (Why can’t there be as many hockey leagues for men over 30 as for boys under lo?) It doesn’t have to be so unconditionally aggressive that all but those fewnatural athletes with a superabundance of male hormones shrink from the playing field. There is a difference between body contact and physical violence, commercial hockey notwithstanding. There are other forms of competition. The most publicized struggle in sport is competitior against competitor, yet in many sports the greater challenge is between man, his own physical limitations and the environment. Losing is never more satisfying than winning, but there’s always satisfaction in a wellexecuted performance, particularly if both winner and loser do better than they expected. Sport should be play, not work, under-

taken purely for enjoyment and self-fulfillment and conducted under rules determined and honored by the participants themselves. We can do more to make sport more enjoyable for Canadians. For starters we should stop preachpreaching about sport’s moral values. Sport, after all, isn’t lent. It’s pleasure of the flesh. Nobody should be asked to renounce cigarettes, alcohol, sex, and fashion before he’s allowed to put on a ,pair of running shoes. Nor is sport a microcosm of the marketplace. The “win at all costs” ethic espoused by such leaders of men as Punch Imlach and touted by too many sportswriters has no place in sport. Elementary - school classes should be devoted to developing natural skills, so that in secondary school the physical-education department can operate as a recreation resource centre (helping people rather than telling them what to do)-and not only for the students but for the community as well! Students should be grouped in classes according to interest and ability, not age and academic grade (one Toronto experiment showed that students who considered themselves to be permanently uncoordinated could develop tremendous skills, when put in a class with students at their own athletic level and taught ‘natural sports such as wrestling and swimming). And athletes. should be encouraged to participate in more of the decisions affecting their play. . As taxpayers, teachers, parents, and participants, we should see that sport is conducted in a way in which we ourselves would want to take part. If your son comes home from the rink with a black eye suffered in a fight, don’t take him out of the league. Go down to the rink and demand that fighting be stopped. qou’ll find that other parents will spring to your aid. If your daughter tells you her school offers no instruction in her chosen sport, find out why. And the next time a politician tells you he’s l planning to raise taxes to build a new stadium, tell him you want an increase in the parks and recreation budget first. Sport in Canada has been neglected. We’ve let it happen. We’ve been shortsighted: a community without sport is incomplete. Although time is running outwe cannot afford to lose many more McGills-we still have energy and ideas. Many Canadians are waiting for an intelligent invitation to sport. Let’s turn L them on.

To the roar of their dedicated followers the Village-l South b-ball squad downed a determined and hustling Renison team 61~44, to gain the Condon cup emblematic of intramural basketball supremacy. -Last monday night’s game was probably one of the finer exhibitions that the hallowed jock halls have ever witnessed and the crowd estimated in triple figures were lavish with their praise. The 24-20 half time score was indicative of the tight defensive battle that had ensued. Renison led by Mark Davies had kept the South team off balance and likewise Art Webster among others had helped the Renison team miss many of their shots. It was this ramblin-scramblin type of ball that kept the fans on the edges of their seats and the good zones and zealous ball hawks forced both teams into many turn-overs. The opening minutes of ,the second half were enough for even the most die-hard Renison fans to realize that this was a South team that wasn’t to be denied. They forced the play to their opposition and w’ith ‘the improved shooting of both Stan Telesnick and Les Parsneau they steadily pulled away from Renison. This beefed up offense plus their always steady defense allowed them to build up a solid --\

Several track Warriors travelled to Ypsilanti, Michigan last weekend to participate in the Eastern Michigan track classic, a very good quality meet. Dave Northey, an athlete who is rapidly rising to prominence among Canadian distance runners, turned in an excellent three-mile performance. In placing‘ third in a tough field, Dave clocked 13:53.0. This is his best time by over 40 seconds, indoors or out, and beats the Warrior record of 14: 18. Former Warrior Bob Finlay of course ran faster while a student here, but didn’t represent the school during his three year domination of the three-mile at the \ Gardens. Northey said that he expected the good time as a result of the. heavy training he has been engaged in during the past six months. Bruce Walker and Jim Strothard ran the 880, also facing a very fine field. They had-hoped to team up to have a crack at the school record but found themselves in differentsections. Big Nige ran against the cream of the field and was smoked. Brunce ran in the second section and placed a strong third with his best 880 time of 1:56.2, however, missing his goal. Asked if he was disappointed, he said, “No! ” Meantime at a meet in Montreal Waterloo’s premier half-miler Kip Sumner wasn’t feeling his old
ten point lead that was never seriously questioned for the rest of the game. This was probably one of the best intramural bball finals in many years, highlighted by free substitutions by both teams. Neither team seemed too concerned with following the old and proven method of playing your best five for the whole game and letting the rest of your team rot on the bench. Another feature was the fact that the teams ended the game with handshakes, something not seen when some other teams found their way to defeat. Victory tasted sweet to the south team as attested to, by the post-game party that was held in the first floor lounge of South 7. In attendance were some fifty joyous celebrants, including the team and their d equally deserving fans. I Conspicuous in their absence were the Renison foes who adjourned to a local night spot to lick their wounds and drown their sorrows.

as Leicester’s driving attack left them floundering in the first _ half and then in the second period found that they had just as good a defense as Arsenal’s best thrusts went for nought. Turning to the Scottish cup quarter-finals it’ was the steady Celtic team coming through with another fine exhibition of j football and gaining their semi berth with a 7-l win over underdog Raith.

Saturday, march 6, 1971, the university of Calgary hosted the first annual Canadian intercollegiate athletic union (women) volleyball champions. The teams in this tournament were the champions of the four women’s athletic conferences -in Canada. Dalhousie uriiversity ‘ ‘Tigerettes’ ’ represented the AWIAU (atlantic women.rs intercollegiate athletic union) ; university of Waterloo “Athenas” -represented the OQWCIA (Ontario-quebec women’s conference of intercollegiate j athletics) ; university of Toronto represented the WIAU (women’s intercollegiate athletic union) ; and the university of Manitoba “Bisonettes” represented the WCIAA (western Canadian intercollegiate athletic association). For the Waterloo Athe&, this trip to Calgary, for the nationals had been long awaited. Thanks to fitness and amateur sport, the athletic department, PERSA, the math associatiofi, the student federation and the entire Waterloo campus, the Athenas set out for Toronto early friday morning with the financial backing, the good wishes,. encouragement, and the desire to reap all the benefits accruing from national competition. Friday night was a time for making friends with compeI titors and with the university of Calgary hosting’ team members at an informal reception. Saturday morning team warm-ups began at 9:00 and at 9?, the four competing teams were marshed into the gymnasium for opening ceremonies led by the Canadian flag and two pipers. At 1O:OO a.m. WCIAA (Manitoba) met OQWCIA (Water&o) in a “best-two-out-of three” match. LWaterloo got off to a slow start, allowing Manitoba to take a 7 point lead. The Athenas held their own and managed to even up the score, but in both games, Manitoba got things under control soon@. Manitoba won the match with scores of 15-13 and 1511. (WIAU) Toronto was the pest to meet Waterloo at 11:15 a.m. For anyon& who had seen Waterloo play Toronto before, this was a heartening match. Both teams displayed a sharpness in spikes and blocks at the net. The scores here tied through out much of the games. TOT ronto held on to the serve a little longer though, and final scores were 15-11 and 15-12, in Toronto’s favour. The final gameof the round robin tournament for the Athenas, was at 2 pm against Dalhousie university. The “Tigerettes” took the first game of the match 15-8, but not to be outdone, the “Athenas” won the second game 15-12. A relatively long third game ended in favour of the Athenas 15-10. The winning of this match placed Waterloo (representing OQWCIA) in third position‘and Dalhousie in fourth position. At 8 p.m. Toronto met Manitoba in a final “best 3-out-of-5:’ match ,, for the national title. The level of play in this final was excellent. The first game in favour of Manitoba Bisonettes 15-7. Toronto retaliated with a 18-16 win in the second game. The calib&of spiking, blocking, and pick-ups was very high. Manitoba cqmple-’ ted its winning effort with games of 15-11 and 15-3 in their favour. L .

in the east:
Westerners The west is best! At least for this, the initial year for CIAU’ Womens swimming championships. After two days, of fast swimming and excellent diving the west ended with 633 points, well ahead of Ontario’s WIAU conference with 406 pts and the’ OQWCIA with 282 points. The At- lantic swimmers, brought up the field of ‘over 80 competitors with 196 points. The university of Alberta went home with the individual school honors narrowly defeating their west coast rivals, UBC by 14 points, 252 to 238. The real surprise - to the western league was the strength ofi the university of Waterloo Athenas who placed third out of 18 schools with 162 points. The university of Toronto seemed to lack depth and relied heavily on their divers, and Merrily I St&ten but still could only manage 147 points. The Toronto divers picked up 47 of the total. \ Acadia university scored 90 points and was the AIAA conference’s best school. , ’ During the meet one Canadian record, and nine pool records fell. Alberta’s Diane Gate who earlier in the meet had equalled the record time of 25.6 set by Angela Coughlan for the 50 yd freestyle lead off for the WCIAA conference relay team in a time of 25.4 smashing the old mark by a big two tenths of a second. Besides being on the winning western conference relay teams, * the former Olympic competitor won the 50 freestyle in 26.5, the 100 freestyle in 55.5 and the 50 backstroke in 29.9 seconds. She was the only competitor to pick up three firsts. Karen James from UBC picked off two firsts in the 100 and 200 individual medley events in times of 1:04.5 and 2: 16.7 respectively while Shirley Cazalet dominated the lanes in the 100 butterfly going 1:03.9 and the 100 backstroke in 1:05.6. She also came second over 50 yards in the two strokes. Glynnis Thomas picked up two firsts for Alberta in the 100 and 200 breaststroke races. Her times,

both new pool records, were 1: 13.5 and 2: 37’.5 respectively. As _ was predicted the diving boards were dominated by Kathy Roll0 who was at the 1970 World Student Games in Italy for this country. At this yearsnationals there was no competition for her as she won the one metre event by nearly 70 points scoring 372.30 which was another pool high point total. Miss Roll0 had an even larger margin for victory over her nearest rival in the three metre competition. In this event, held saturday, she ended up with another high point total record of 397.75 and nearly 90 points ahead of ‘Leslie O’Brien of Toronto. As was mentioned last week in the chevron, Saskatoon seems to be the place to go for diving as both the men’s nationals cha#mpion and now the ladies winner are from that prairie city. The final western winner was Sue Cronk in the 50 butterfly. The short distance was covered in 28.7 seconds a new pool record.

Athena Lee Fraser was sixth Coach Bob Graham got another in the same event, and seventh in dunking by the girls after the meet the 100 yd freestyle. signifying they were still the
strongest team east of the __ prairies. Coach Graham said he “was very very pleased with the team’s performance” not only in last weekend’s meet but throughout the entire season. The Athenas ended off the regular dual.. meet competition undefeated, came fifth in the heavy competition at the u of Watefioo’s International, then captured the OQ-WITCA crown for the second straight year. Earlier in the fall the girls placed third to Kent State and Ohio State at the twelve team international meet held at McMaster. At last weekends’ meet the team was missing two of its star performers. Joyce Matthison in her last year with the squad only swam one freestyle event but usually goes breaststroke. She had strained ligaments. Ann Stiles, a top competitor on the boards this season was sick and unable to dive. There is little doubt that with these two competitors the top two clubs would have had a fight on their hands. After the meet the coaches choose the top swimmers from each of the four leagues. Joy Stratten received the nod for the OQWCIA conference while sister Merilly got top honors, for the WIAU. Diane Gate ’ was named the west’s outstanding performer while Janice Mattson of Acadia was the eastern conference top .star. Kathy Rolo was named top diver in the meet. Was their any other choice? Looking forward to next season, just seven months off only one swimmer, Joyce Matthison will be leaving through graduation.The rest of the team should be back and ready to defend their title and shoot for next years nationals which have been rumored to be going west. Coach Graham also would like to extend his thanks to all officials, that made all the meets, and expecially the two CIAU nationals and the International such a success,

In collegiate in Oshawa he was m%s- his first 880 of the winter season ter clean-cut all-round highschool at Ann Arbor, he bettered the two boy, universal participation and all that. To some extent this may have been true but he’s better now. Al is 19 and is in first year science. He says he works pretty hard and really likes physics. Having enjoyed highschool as much as he did, he feels that one day he will~return. and teach phy-. sics at the highschool level. Al has been involved in track for a number of years, running throughout his stay at McLaughlin. Twice he made it’ to the OFSSA meet in his specialty the 440 but. did not distinguish himself there. Since turning up here in the fall though, his improvement has been marked. He broke 50 seconds for the quarter for the first time at Western and at the OQAA meet at Hamilton turned in a rapid 49.4 400 metres, placing fourth behind teammate Russ Gnyp. He also ran the opening l-eg on the Warriors’ record-breaking mile relay team. ’

During his first term here, Al lived near the campus but found life rather isolated and moved into the village at Christmas. “There’s . more things to do now, more chicks . . . ” He really likes going to school here and as well as his involvement in track he plays intramural basketball and hockey. He has no opinion on the twin cities boasa place to live. Knowing nothing about them because his life is centred exclusively on the campus except when he goes home tom rest up. Something can be surmised ’ ’ about his taste in that he describes Grand Funk as the “only group in the world, man.” Being a socially conscious individual; Al is right up with the important current issues on campus. Fore“most in his mind right now is the formation of the gay homophile group. “Yeah, I don’t think that people should hassle a person just -because they happen to be a homophile”, he says. “Like, I’m not one myself, but uh . . .”

meticulous muniu cousin Nick Dumont
Because of my scrupulous, meticulous character, it is of paramount necessity that I reply to you, complaisant Cousin Nick, regarding your ambiguous, perhaps equivocal, response to’ my supposedly discrete and venmous epistle which appeared in last week’s chevron. Premierement, your acrimonious comments concerning my “disjointed drivel and pretentious cluttered verbiage” (as you so _ingeniously but redundantly put it), were indeed humorously ironic since you affably admitted my letter was “flatteringly imitative.” In effect, Cousin Nick, you h%e inadvertently conceded the fact that your own articles likewise consist of, if you’ll pardon the reiteration, ‘ ‘disjointed drivel and pretentious cluttered verbiage. ” You really shouldn’t say such nasty things about yourself. And, if you happen to be in close proximity to last week’s journal, you might sagaciously note that it was this exact preten tious, enigma tic elem-en t of your writing that has disgruntled and befuddled not only myself but a prodigi>us number of other-students. J’~ As I further peruse, \with a lineament of jovial countenance, your flimsy, obtuse reply which is satiated with circumlocutions, it is palpable that my objections remain unanswered. Once again, as in that inchoate, insipid Warrior-Guelph hockey report, you have been obstinate and scurrilous in your evasion of the question at hand. My central criticism was, ‘I cannot comprehend why he (Dr. Dumont) merits nine entire para<graphs in a story which should have been written for the exclusive purpose of recapitulating a hockey game.‘” In your customary elusive manner, you dastardly selected instead of answering my letter, to deify your benignant friend

A commercial showing some character driving down the highway turning off under his armpit reminds me to get to the gym before lo:30 so I can get a towel. I moved over to the jock building, ran down the stairs two at a time and pushed in ‘men’s locker room’. A brushcut stared out at me from behind black-rimmed glasses; I offered my ID card to the pile in the box, caught- a towel coming --across the counter and made my way to my locker. I shed my garments, grabbed soap and, imitating a 90 year old fossil, shuffled towards the showers; I had tried to walk there once and executed an inglorious front 9’4 somersault with immediate objections from my knee and big toe. I turned the corner to wonder if dance class had been moved to the showers because everyone was imitating a violent african war dance. Normalcy returned -as I moved over to a shower handle, played with- the temperature control my hand thought ‘the rest of the body would agree and stepped into another world. My back was satiating itself under the streaming weight completely . unprepared in the next moment for scalding water that my _ body, in a useless attempt,instantaneously strained to avoid the pain. We could have rivalled the best chorus line for coordination. I burned my head while shampooing my hair and started looking for hidden movie cameras. I left, dried myself. down and stood in line waiting for the one working dryer. An arts grad ahead of me had the inclination to chat about the major works of english authors; russian novelists were the topic when his turn came; I only stayed around for the review of a minor.

In the southwestern ontario weightlifting trials held at Seagram gymnasium last Saturday. The university of Waterloo club did much better than expected, placing five out of eight entrants. The meet attracted forty-eight competitors in ten weight classes, six of whom were national or internationally known champions, record holders and medalists. In his first competition, Willie’ Maddeaux took first place in the flyweight (114 pound) class, with a three lift total of 365 lbs (115 105-145) outlasting the expected winner by twenty pounds. If Wilhlie would have competed. with the club last november a similar performance in the intermediate category would have rated him third in Canada. ’ Greatly improved performances by both Larry Yessie and Ron h Johnson resulted in second and third placings in the 165 lb class.

The university of Waterloo curling club finished off their best season ever by winning the first and second events at the Bowling Green state university’s first annual two day bonspiel last weekend. The first event was won by the Hugh McCarrel rink of Doug, McCarrel, Brian Fisher and Mark Schacter. In their games, they defeated two university of Western Ontario rinks, 11-10, 14-5, a Toronto rink 12-4 and the 1970 Michigan State champions from Detroit 9-8. I The second event was won by the Bill Icton rink of Axe1 Larson, Bob Stahl and Tom Ford. They lost their first game to Ken Dunlop’s Western rink which put them in the second event but then won the next three games to win the event. Waterloo’s only mistake was in not sending another team to win the third event.
