During his press conference on campus Wednesday night, Quebec labor leader Michel Chartrand was highly critical of Canadian democratic ins titutions and governments. He saw the government structure as such that it fostered a situation in which it was impossible to trace the persons responsible for certain actions or circumstances.
decries “There is no government in \ this country who believes in democracy. Students can practice democracy only in federal and provincial elections but what do they have to say about running the university ? You are not a democracy in english Canada. You are colonials of the U.S.” Michel Chartrand thus addressed students at the theatre auditorium of WLU Wednesday night. Chartrand who was invited to speak by the Citizens’ Commis’ sion of Inquiry into the War Measures Act, is on a tour of universities across Canada. He spoke at random, but forcefully on the injustices of capitalism, unemployment, separatism, Canadian nationalism, and issues surrounding the war measures act. “When did those, outraged by the kidnappings, stand up against unemployment, the war in Vietnam, social injustice?” Two men were kidnapped; one died but what about the others, the victims of capitalism. No one is scandalized when workers are killed through the negligence of architects or engineer. These people are also criminals. “Economic power is greater than political power controlled by corporations who live for themselves regardless of consequences,” he continued. Chartrand added that 45 percent of the economic might of the U.S. is controlled by one percent of american shareholders. “What’s the difference between this and dictatorships of Stalin or Hitler? What purpose is this minority controlled?” asked Chartrand “Before we were told that we are backward because we were

Catholics, ignorant, uneducated. Now we are engineers, university educated, no longer Catholics and we are still unemployed.” Chartrand deplores the inability of people to find the proper level of government be it provincial or federal on which to tag the responsibility for certain events or circumstances, such as In order to unemployment. solve a problem one must pin it down, and develop a solution at the level of action. Presently everyone is following a policy of always passing the buck. “Do you know of any other country in the world where there are so many governments with so little responsibility? How can there be any changes when none knows whose responsibility it is to bring the change about?” he asked. If Quebec secedes there would only be one level of government responsible solely for the welfare if the province. Thus when problems arise the unions and labour councils of the province can turn to the Quebec government and demand action and explanation. Chartrand alluded to american corporate capitalists as in-
ternational bandits and stated that the government of Canada is conspiring with them to the detriment of the nation. He went on “we don’t want any part of it. If you will get a socialist government in Ottawa then we will be able-to talk together again and I will be glad of it.” In one of his more fiery and eloquent statements Chartrand pointed to the deficiency and hyprocracy of the democratic system in Canada and Quebec. During his press conference he listed examples such as the inequality of votes and seats in the recent provincial election, the smashing of Front d’action Politique in the Montreal municipal elections and the general event during the October crisis. He placed the blame for these situations with the federal government and its puppets in Quebec. Radicalism, such as was the case in the October crises is an attempt by Quebecers to rise above all this. “We are just out of the bush and would iike to try democracy. We want to run our own show.” , He is convinced that left on her

own Quebec can solve its problems through the democratic process. The partie quebecois, once in power must answer directly to the people of Quebec. When the subject of Canadian nationalism was brought up, Chartrand insisted that there is none. “Canadians have more interest in .a baseball game in Seattle than what’s going on in Ottawa.” Again he vented his rage on the federal government when he discussed those in jail charged with ‘conspiracy of an insurection’.” “How can a government have the nerve to lie to an entire country! Where was the insurrection? Where was the arms? “What was the idea of the terrorism of the army? We were not consulted before the kidnappings’ why should we be found guilty ? Why’not the rest of canada? How come they have six million people guilty by association? Several times during his visit to Waterloo, Chartrand emphasized he considered the Canadian and Quebec fights against capitalism and for independent socialism, mutually exclusive. Not only are they separate for the obvious contradiction of goals in that Quebec independence negates Canadian nationalism, but also because Chartrand saw english Canadians as relatively indifferent and inactive in their striving for an independent socialist state. Repercussions to the war measures act started a wave of political unrest that will, peacefully or otherwise, drastically change the Canadian setup in the near future.

Engineers A report which could have serious implications for the student federation as it now exists was tabled at a tuesday night meeting of the engineering society. The report was presented by a committee formed as a result of a motion passed by engsoc council to consider withdrawal from the federation. In effect the report suggested that the present -federation council be replaced by a society comprised of society reps. The present compulsory federation fee be replaced by a lowered non-compulsory fee, and that both fees appear seperately on the tuition statement. It was felt that the dissolution of the federation through engsot’s withdrawal “could act as a
Engsoc
positive catalyst for society growth, and thus be beneficial in the long run.” The report contained a questionnaire which may be used to assess the feeling of engineering students on the issues involved. It’was the feeling of some council members that the engineering reps on federation council are less able to represent engineering aspirations under the current system than they would under a restructured federation of societies. It was pointed out that the new engsoc leadership had been elected with a fifty-seven percent voter turnout as compared to a seven percent turnout of engineers for the federation elections.

The new president of the engineering society B, Warren Hull,- winning on a platform of enthusiasm and interest, was swept into office during last thursday’s executive elections. 56.7 percent of the engineers went to the polls. The statistics are quite impressive when compared to the recent turnout of only seven percent of the engineers at the student council elections. The contentious issue of the society’s involvement with the federation of students again emerged. The strongest antifederation candidate, Dan Mueller, who ran 540 votes behind Hull said, “a central structure
opposess
Mike Martin, who presented the report; said ‘ ‘appropriate revisions in federation structure would eliminate the need for engineering withdrawal. ” While the committee was unable to find a flagrant misuse of federcommittee-head ation funds, Martin stated a federation of societies could possibly operate on a hundred-thousand dollar budget. Current federation spending runs about two hundred thirtythousand dollars. Carl Sulliman, federation vicepresident, attacked the paper as a negative proposal. --He suggested that engsoc was “shifting the blame for poor engineering performance of reps on to the federation structure.“He put himself on the line
federation
desire
to correct engineering beefs. Sulliman said he was “disappointed with engsoc’s negative attitudes” as exemplified by its lack of constructive proposals to the campus center study committee. “Certain man-environment students have presented, a complete plan to redesign the campus-center, and I think engineering has a lot to offer also,” he said. “Engineering has no monopoly on discontent. What I’m saying is that we need a strongcentral body-the form will work itself out.” Though objecting strongly to engsoc’s restructuring plan, it was not clear whether Sulliman would work under
a federation of societies. While accepted as tabled, the report will probably be revised by the executive before any action is taken on it. Engsoc president Paul Spafford said that while it was not “guiding legislation”, the report would form a basis of policy, and that something concrete would emerge at the next engsoc meeting. If withdrawal is the consensus of engsoc B, it would still have to be ratified by the “A” stream (currently off-campus) before being acted upon. As for now, the status of the proposal is in the hands of the engsoc executive, to ponder at their own discretion.

Meeting a week ago monday the health services committee discussed the hiring of a full time medical director to replace Helen Reesor the part time director. Composed of student representatives, director of academic services, director of counselling services, personnel, dean of women, head nurse at health services, director part time health services, and the warden. The committee discussed general business. The health services committee functions “to recommend to the medical director appropriate programs of health information, education and preventive treatment for the university community,” and serve as an advisory body in the hiring of the medical director. The role of medical director is presently defined by the director of academic services, Pat Robertson as: “supervising medical policies and operating policies, recruiting staff, maintenance of the health services building, preparing and administering budget, administering and recommending changes to stu-r dent insurance programs, and maintaining relationships with university departments and related health care facilities. ” Letters advertising the job were sent to all the local doctors in the Kitchener Waterloo area. Eight reply Of eight physicians who indicated interest, two applied and were interviewed by Robertson and Lucy. An earlier health services committee meeting talked about advertising in medical journals. No action in,. this direction was taken. The doctors, at separate sessions were quizzed by the health services committee on subjects regarding sex, drugs, confidentiality, and the changing terms of reference of health services. The two doctors both local anaethetists,

wanted their identities witheld for publication since their medical peers were unaware of their interest in the job. “I want the job (medical director) because I’m bored; it’s not stimulating. A specialty implied that you’re quite knowledgeable and you’re quite narrow,” said Dr. K-W. He explained part of his training, for two and a half years, was interesting. Now his work (anaetheology) is filled with “hours of boredom and moments of terror. I don’t mind the terror, but I don’t like the boredom.” He said he was interested in this kind of medicine (medical director) with a psychological setting. “I understand there is a lot of bad nerves.” Dr. St. Mary’s said he had various experiences in administration. “In attempting to regain clinical medicine (experience) I took the job as a team physician for the Waterloo rugby team.” s Rugby team His contact with the students (rugby team) “renewed my interest in the problems this age group, their aims and health care. It was good for me for I was getting to be an old fossil. I met people: who renewed my faith in the younger generation.” Dr. K-W said, “The basic premise I feel is the individual’s body is his business providing he is not hurting someone else. ” Talking about the body he explained the body is physiologically capable, to procreate. He explained at one time people (17 year olds) raised families, but now with people going to school longer this isn’t the solution for sexual relations. “If people want to be liberal that’s fine. On abortion he said, “If my daughter ever needed one, I would want one for her. ” He said he wasn’t “pure” at university. “Sex is wonderful ; I’m not being said Dr. St. Mary. On birth facetious,”
control, “The pills are the cheapest and not the safest.” He emphasized the proper use of proper prescriptions of the pill. He thought girls who slept with two or three guys as being “promiscuous”. When Dr. St. Mary got frustrated he said he married his wife. Drug trips On drugs, Dr. K-W said he wouldn’t scold. He would do the same if “a girl wants the pill”. “Drugs are good tools for people who know (what drugs are about). Drugs are an escape from reality,” said Dr. St. Mary. He gave the example of the cocktail as being a “controlled” situation. The role of medical director asseen by Dr. K-W is to “tailor the program according to the university. I am in no way criticizing the present administration for my different ideas. He said he had been talking with people who were directly and indirectly involved with university health services to learn how people perceive such services. He consulted two medical directors, Dr. Thureau at Western and Dr. Woodhouse at Toronto. Dr. St. Mary’s said life at university had changed since he was last there. During his schooling students were concerned with finances. Today he sees students being unhappier. ’ The pressures upon today’s students are different. “I want to make getting through university easy as possible. Increased entertainment and autos have affected the students’ time, thus detracting from the purpose of being here,” he said. “For ailments that are not physical (psychosomatic 1, I . would reassure them (of this fact.” If counselling were needed he would “leave it to counselling”. Confidentially CommentingL on- the confidentiality of people’s files, Dr. St. Mary’s said it was part of the doctor’s code of ethics to
be confidential and Dr. K-W. said, “If I did it (breach of confidence) once on campus it would destroy my own worth.” Dr. St. Mary’s expressed his interest in maintaining a close relationship with students in following up their cases to the resolution of sickness. Phyllis Livingston, head nurse, health services said time limited the care and followup of patients. “Quite often the medical staff wonder what happened to someone who is referred to the hospital or another doctor; There is no time for followup.” Morality “What do you do when you meet a group of students who are unoptimistic and test your background, for example speed freaks? The football team is an anachronism. What about those who don’t represent the general‘ mood? How do you handle them? “What about a moral stand. Do you meet them at their level of moral decision? ’ ’ asked Doug .Torney, counsellor, Counselling Services, to Dr. St. Mary’s. He replied he would take them at their level. In talking about bad drug trips, bummers, .he said some kids take drugs for “kicks”. He related his experience in bringing freak-outs to (as anaetheist). He found that the frightening experience of a bummer didn’t stop the person from taking drugs. “I don’t believe it works.” “There is a danger in misusing things, ” he said. Regarding changing terms of reference for Health Services, both doctors agreed that change on their part would be necessary, if policy changed. Dr. St. Mary’s, when questioned on putting kids back into the situation, namely school, which created frustration for the person, said he would seek the “advice of an intermediary”. friday

Social conscience . by Frank
Deeg
Approximately 250 engineers from 30‘ schools, ranging from UBC to Memorial, attended the third annual congress of Canadian engineering students, held in Ottawa march 5-7, the theme of mobility: which was, “Canadian which way in the 70’s?” The purpose of CCES is to coalesce and articulate the voice of engineering students across the country, and to provide the opportu@ty for a national forum for the exchange of ideas and opinions between these students. This years Congress was organized by the universite d’ottawa and Carleton university. A diverse selection of topics was discussed, concerning transportation and related problems in Canada. Several schools presented papers, among them Waterloo, with a paper entitled “Educational requirements for Canadian transportation Fngineers”. Representatives from both government and industry attended and presented papers. “Some areas of transnortation deilt with included &pid transit in urban centers, air traffic control, auto emmissions control, transportation problems as related to the economy of a narticular region. and the role of thk future transport engineer.

gress, the focus of attention was upon the social awareness of the engineer,, specifically the transport engineer, and what role should be played by him in society. The students from ecole poly-technique in Montreal were particularly interested in this aspect of the engineer due to their concern bver the construction of the new east-west authoroute in Montreal, which somewhat parallels the problem in Toronto regarding the Spadina expressway.

the congress, as evidenced by the discussion arising out of this topic, that the engineer of the future must display a greater social conscience than he has in the past, in order to become an effective and integral part of society. The congress, as a whole, was pqrticularly rewarding in that it inspired both a feeling of the unity in, diversity which is so characteristic of Canada, and an encouraging view as to the ongoing nature of this unity, especially in the field of engineering.

drugs -to crime
by Jim Goodwin
Waterloo police chief Harold Basse blames Waterloo’s soaring crime rate on the abuse of drugs. According to ,a report in mondays edition of the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, chief Basse listed 1,572 crimes in Waterloo last year compared with 1,227 in 1969-an increase of 23 percent. Thefts increased from 608 to 728 in 1970, an increase of about 20 percent. He linked the increase to the abuse of drugs. According to chief Basse, “Many drug users steal to support their habits. Others commit crimes while under the influence of drugs. ” Paul Zarnke, a community worker at the K-W branch of the addiction research foundation, during a telephone interview with this reporter said, “I don’t think stealing to support a habit is commonplace in the K-W region. I feel a person is less likely to commit a crime while under the influence of drugs, with the exception of alcohol, than he is in a normal state. ” When contacted and asked whether he felt the increasing ciime rate was a result of drug use Kitchener police chief Wilfred Henrich said he considered this a false statement. “I feel drug use is a crime in itself but I don’t think it has caused that much other crime. I think blaming crime on drug abuse is an easy way out because it is such a popular topic nowadays, ” he added. Henrich went on to explain that, “Unemployment helps contribute to the increasing crime rate. ” -According to the article in the K/W Record, chief Basse also stated, “In recent years many undesirables have come to us from other countries bringing with them their drug problems and introducing a whole new situation to our young people which I feel will ultimately destroy many. ” The article went on to say,

“Chief Basse did not identify the undesirables coming to the community with drug problems but it is believed he refers to draft-evaders from the United States attending the two Waterloo universities. ” During an interview Ron Lambert , professor of 1Focial-psychology at the university of Waterloo and worker with the K-W aid to war resistors said, “I would be interested in any data rather than opinion chief Basse could produce which would prove that draft-resistors were distributing or using more drugs than anyone else in this age group. ” “It’s very convenient to pick on a minority group.” said Lambert, whose organization supplies jobs and housing for draft-resistors. “I think chief Basse would be quite disturbed if people were to

call the police department corrupt merely because of the actions of one or two constables. ” During an interview, Shane Roberts, a second year physics student and a draft-resistor from the United States said, “I think chief Basse’s statements are unrealistic. Most draft-resistors are worried about getting into trouble. If they were to appear in court on a drug charge or any other charge they would face an automatic deporation. Draft resistors would be the last persons to get into trouble. ” When asked if he would care to make any further statements concerning his report on crime, Chief Basse said,” No I think I h!ave already said enough. ” Jim Goddwin is a reporter for the Ram,’ the student newspaper at Conestoga college.

Much can and has been said about american ’ ‘imperialism’, and the way in which it is raping dountries and stealing their re/ sources. With all the clamor over the US little is said about Canada’s role in international investment and development. Alcan’s position in the international community was examined in depth by professor Grant of political science department, thursday. Alcan operates bauxite mines in the small south american country of Guyana. They have been in business there for some time but in the entire history of Alcan investment, Guyana has received no more than three percent of their total profit from the country. Alcan’s exploitation in Guyana goes much further than the mere extraction of profits. The guyanese workers occupy meanial jobs in the bauxite mines, working

more skilled workers under brought in from elsewhere. It is’ impossil$e for the normal citizen of Guyana to purchase shares in the Alcan operations in their own country. The government of Guyana has been bargaining with Alcan for better condi- ’ tions but with few positive results. Alcan threatens that bauxite from Guyana is becoming less andless competitive and that th&y might have to curtail operations. As part of their position in negotiations Alcan requested no taxes to be levied against them, and at one point it seemed they might have even wanted to eriter the government. These proposals left no room for compromise. Now the government is talking in terms of nationalization. Other areas that might be affected will be Reynolds’ operations and companies in the sugar industry.

Ontario’s minister of university affairs, John White has an-, nounced changes in the financing of graduate schools and grad students. The cuts he savs will save the province 7 million dollars in .the next/academic year. Cuts will be made in three ways.

The fund for province. of Ontario graduate fellowships (POGF ) which provide graduate support at 125 dollars per month will be reduced from five million to three and a half million dollars. The maximum allowed pay: ment from the university’s operating budget for teaching services will be dropped to 1800 dollars per year.

mainly in asian and african students. The alternative is for a large number of these students to ,attempt to get landed immigrant status even though’ they do not intend to stay in this country. 0 Both Lawson and, Beattie said that the government should not play around with foreign enrolment by juggling the money available. Instead, the whole question should be debated’and a concrete plan for the future should be developed. Desired maximum and minimum levels of foreign student population would be set and then students admitted to Canada should be supported at an adequate living level. A petition urging this is presently being circulated among the ‘faculty and the graduate student union plans. to circulate it among its membership. Beattie, Cross and Lawson, all agreed that the, increased tuition fees would have little effect on graduate student enrolment. It is still not clear whether a student who has completed the residency requirements for his degree and now pays only 30 dollars per term will be required to pay the full 485 dollars per year. The cuts are tied. in with the present economic slump in Cana? da and the apparent over-production of Ph.D.‘s in Ontario. The Ontario voter wants to see cuts in the education budget and will except the idea of reduc‘ing the number of costly produced undergraduates. In the end, the Ontario government is just increasing Canadian colonial status by not trying to stimulate a domestic research and develop‘merit industry. By accepting the’ fact that american corporations will do their research in ‘the US, the government ‘cuts back competent Canadian research workers. According to Cross Canada has to create a market for Ph.D.‘s it is graduating. This means re-. patriating some of the Canadian ,economy and setting up research and development industry. x The reduced grad enrolment will compound the problem of americanization of Ontario universities, especially in the social sciences. Before the budget cuts were announced, the prediction was that by 1974-75 Ontario would be producing enough Ph.D’s to staff Ontario universities. Cross thinks that this date will be pushed back, resulting in the continued importing of foreign profes sors to fill teaching positions in Ontario. .-

Poker struggle t7eutd “All politics is a struggle for, power, all history revolves around it” said James Eayrs speaking on the impermanence of power Wednesday night to an audience of about 100 students. Professor Eayrs of the department of ~ political economy at the universixty of Toronto outlined many concepts, properties and functions of power. said Eayrs,--“is ethi“Power,” cally neutral, useable for good or evil. Power can be manipulated by an individual or by a nation. It can be used to crush innocent nations or deter aggressors. ” Eayrs reinforced his statement with many current and past examples of power throughout the -r world. One of the many examples outlined was the question of the key to japanese power. After an analysis of Japan’s exports and of the quality of life of those who make them, Eayrs stated “power now appears as the product of the spirit of a people, a function of national moral and national character.
the Canadian government holds a certain amount of control over the US. . Eayrs stated that power is invariably useful. It can never depreciate. What has depreciated is that the use of force as a means of power has been drastically reduced. The fact that states possessing nuclear weapons now have the capacity to destroy each other demonstrates a reduction in their ability to threaten because the threat is not creditable and the risks are great. Massive weaponry is not needed to fight off thousands of men and many million dollars of war equipment. This is illustrated by the army of north Vietnam as they hold off the american army using only bicycles and booby traps. “T% national history ated by powers wers. ”
history of modern interpolitics has become a of great powers humilimiddle powers and minidictating to middle poThrough examples Eayrs
demonstrated this thought well. Power, being such a large and loosely defined term, can take many_ forms. It is relative to purpose. What you have of it depends on what you want to do with it. You may be powerful in one set of circumstances and’ completely powerless in another. The great power of a political assasin can not be compared to the overall might of the military. Both kinds, however, can create havoc in the state. Eayrs also outlined the three distinctions of power.’ They are the power to build and destroy, the power to defend or attack, and the power to compel or deter. Another point brought out was the lack of ra: tionality in the use of power. Eayrs used the example of Louis Halle who compared the human condition in the age of overkill to that of a scorpian and a tarantula in a bottle. They are both, as in the cold war, in an unfortunate position but may nevertheless kill themselves ; however, illogical.

VANCOUVER (CUP) - Remonstrators protesting the \war measures act and the public or-, der temporary measures act prevented federal justice minister John Turner from speaking at an open meeting of 350 people on the university of British Columbia campus Saturday night, march 6. The core group of about 30 protestors drowned out Turner each time he started to speak with steady chants of “No free speech for the Quebecois, No free speech for Turner.” The Free Canada Free Quebec Committee which sponsored the organized part of the demonstration was joined by about 70 Yippies and street people in heckling Turner with shouts and chants of “Free Quebec” and “Fuddle-Duddle-Fuddle”. out when a Violence broke pro-Turner youth hit suspended Simon Fraser university profdssor Mordecai Briemberg from behind as Briemberg was asking Turner if he had the courage to appear on a platform with the Montreal five - Michel Chartrand, Robert Lemieux, Charles Gagnon, Pierre Vallieres and Jacques Larue-Langlois.

Mark Warrior, a demonstrator I 1and former UBC classics student, is in the process of laying an assault charge against BC hydro chairman Gordon Shrum, alleging he was hit by ‘Shrum - the head of the Crown Electricity corporation. Turner, whqse prepared speech was on law and order, said he hop‘ed td have some kind of dialogue with the crowd. He got a dialogue, but probably not the kind he had in mind. -_ VANCOUVER (CP) - About 30 demonstrators protesting against the federal Government’s USC?Of the War Measures Act in last OCtober’s terrorist kidnapping crisis in Quebec heckled and shouted down Justice Minister John Turner on Saturday night at the University of British Columbia. Mr. Turner was delivering a speech ‘as part of the Vancouver Institute’s weekly UBC lecture series. The topic of the speech he was Prevented from making was vidence in Modern SOCkty. After the outburst, which includ‘ed several scuffles between demonstrators and other Persons in the audience, Mr. Turner told reporters he was very disturbed. ‘They seem to have replaced logic with slogans... We’ve had, disruption instead of dlaloguey of dialogue,” he said. ’ In the text of his speech, released to reporters later, he warned Canadians that “we’ll have to face the threat of violence for some’ time in our SbCietY. ”

He asked the demonstrators, “Are you really Canadians?” . Someone in the crowd replied, “Are y.ou really an American.” 1 When Turner asked “am I going to get a hearing here?” and “are we living in a free society?“, the crowd responded with a loud “no.” He continued by telling the audience: “We are seeing what hapens when free speech is denied.” Turner said that unlike the dissenters, he had been elected by “the people of Canada.” The demonstrators responded that the ruling class, not the people of Canada, had elected Turner. When the crowd began to sing “when the saints go marching in”, Turner decided to end his 45-minute attempt at speaking. After the meeting broke upb a number of people surrounded Tuner

The temporary measures act lapses April 30 unless extended Ior terminated sooner by parlia:ment. Turner says the need for its continuing implementation is being studied “on a daily basis” 4 by the Trudeau cabinet.

The bidding is fairly straightforward with south to try a three no-trump contract after his partner’s opening bid. East won the opening spade lead with the queen and cashed his ace as he was not going to gain the lead again. East then played a third spade. Declarer won the trick <with dummy filaying a small diamond and a small heart on the two spade tricks. This hand shows the general idea behind the simple squeeze when this position is reached. Declarer can take nine of the ten re’ maining tricks. He is one trick short of the remainder. Now if he is lucky enough to find that one defender has the responsibility to defend two suits, declarer can force that defender to unguard one of the suits. On this hand, the squeeze would work on either hand if the queen-jack of diamonds are found in the hand with three or

Last week, the Capital showed B/&e of Grass which was the first major attempt of the film in-’ dustry to capitalize on the ecology bandwagon. The acting was not brilliant; however, some of the photographic techniques were novel. The forward flashes, inparticular, were well done. In its simplistic, overemotional way, the film harked back to the basic philosophical argument about the inherent qualities of man good and bad. In this case, we see a thin veneer of civilization being swept away as the environ-

more hearts. Declarer first cashes the five club cards to bring the hand to a five card ending : pitching two small hearts from his hand. West is forced to release either his diamond or heart stopper as he can only keep five cards. Declarer now cashes the aceking of diamonds to test the suit and if the ten does not promote, he then cashes the ace of hearts and takes the two good hearts on dummy. Observe that east can make the play of the hand more difficult, and probably force declarer to settle for ten tricks if he plays his spade-jack at trick two. He loses, his ace of spades,-but his partner can score a trick in each of the red suits. East renders the squeeze in operative by not taking his ace.

As socialists, we have long advocated public ownership. We have done so for good reasons. These reasons make more sense today than ever before. h When the means of production were privately owned, it was once possible for serious people to argue _ that power was diffused by the free markets. But it has been clear for a long time that private ownership really means that power is concentrated in the corporations. They decide the conditions of work, including whether there shall be work at all for some of us. They determine what goods will be available to us and at what prices. The rise of the corporation has been accompanied by the growth of unions and the expansion of “positive” government. This has taken off some of the roughest edges, but nothing more. The basic distribution of power has remained the same. A small’ corporate elite makes decisions and the rest of us are impotent. As socialists we have understood this and have argued that public ownership was the only certain means to reduce the intolerable concentration of economic power. In this century, corporate power has escalated as the corporation has grown vastly in size and geographic scope. Now we have global corporations richer and more powerful than many of the countries within which. they operate, and a handful of them dominate the economy of the “free world. :’ Those who call themselves socialists but argue that public ownership is no longer needed are profoundly out of touch with the realities of where power presently lies and the difficulty, if not impossibility, of changing that without changing ownership. This has obvious implications for us as Canadians. No other country has fallen so completely under the dominance of foreign - based multi - national corporations as ours. It follows that we have the strongest case for using public ownership as the alternative to foreign, private ownership. It is this message that we must carry to those many Canadians who value independence. If we do, we have a very real possibility of building a socialist Canada. Instead of playing down our historic commitment to public ownership and pretending it no longer matters, we should be insisting on its necessity. Consider the question of democratic decision-making at a time when more and more people refuse to accept the authoritarian nature of our present society. Not only is power presently concentrated in Q the hands of a small number of corporations, but within the corporation power is concentrated in the hands of those at the top of a pyramid that has a very broad base.
hands of a small number of corporations, but within the corporation power is concentrated in the hands of those at the top of a pyramid that has a very broad I base. That hierarchial structuring of power must be radically altered. The likelihood of the private corporation tolerating such an upheavel is, to say the least, improbable. Public ownership must be seen as a necessary condition for the democratization of the ’ 1 workplace. To see the matter in this way is very different from arguing that public ownership is a sufficient condition for socialism. Indeed, it is not and we _ should have no hesitation in saying so. Legislating a change is ownership and doing nothing more&s “socialism from the top down,” and has proven to-be anything but liberating and democratic. But for us as socialists, this means not that we abandon public ownership, but that we recognize the absolute necessity of workers’ control. In one sense, then, we are saying that public ownership is necessary as a means to create models of democratic decision-making. But in a deeper sense what we are saying is that out of the struggles of workers for the power to make decisions will come structures that, though we cannot definitively label them now, will certainly not be anything like the present structure of private ownership. Call it “socialism from the. bottom up. ” When we are asked why we advocate public ownership, we should say that it is that future we have in mind. Finally, there is the matter of compensating the private owners. The matter merits discussion if for no other reason than that costs of doing this are alleged by some to be such as to preclude public ownership. They exaggerate. As a technical matter, what is involved in considerable part is replacing voting shares that pay dividends with bonds that yield a slower return and paying off the bonds out of the difference. I And while, as democratic socialists, we are committed to expropriation with compensation, particularly to small shareholders, we should not feel committed to capitalizing monopoly profits, nor to continuing the present maldistribution of wealth. To forget that would be to forget that we are socialists and risk rendering the exercise futile. -

Nationalism
/
Nationalism in a sovereign country can be a dangerous thing but in a colonized country it can be a liberating force, said Landre Bergeron during the integrated studies teach in in the arts theatre last week. During, the course of the teach-in the financial, political, cultural and psychological colonization of Canada was discussed in some depth and the one thing the speakers seemed to agree on was yes, Canada was indeed a massively colonized nation. The economic and political colonization was dealt with thursday evening by representatives from three political groups. Jack McClelland of the CIC, Ian Lumsden of the Waffle, and Gary Perly of the Canadian Liberation movement. ’ In presenting their solutions to the economic problem which in turn solved the political issue, all three speakers offered a different escape ranging from working within present political structures, to economic socialism and power to the people. McClelland’s solution, which he felt was the most viable since “we can’t wait for the Waffle to get elected,” is -to sign up with CIC help politicize the Canadian people, and support the 51% Canadian ownership. “If we don’t move soon we are going to , have so much unemployment that we will have to tell the unemployed don’t march on Ottawa, don’t have a general strike in Winnipeg, go to Washington, “he stated. Filling in for Cy Gonick, who\ couldn’t make the teach-in due to illness, Lumsden
in colonies
proposed economic nationalism, in the form of public ownership of key sectors of the economy such as natural resources and banking. He stated that without taking that first step we cannot control the economy. “Therefore the Waffle advocates that natural resources be nationalized, that they be used for the benefit of Canada, and used in such a way that employment is maximized for Canadians, That they be processed in Canada and that they be reserved if necessary for the future economic development of Canada.” When not in the process of throwing insults at CIC and the Canadian Liberation Movement Lumsden was busy pushing the Waffle line. He did however throw a compliment at CIC when he said, ‘ ‘they are politicizing Canadians to a certain degree because of the big names working for them such as Walter Gordon. Gary Perly of the CLM talked of “rising up against oppression.” He also talked about American unions which he termed the heart of controlled capitalism in . this country. He got his licks in at the NDP by pointing out that the NDP supports and are funded by these capitalist unions south of the border. He said that only the workers would win self determination in Canada. Gail Dexter of Women’s Liberation nailed the NDP down nicely when she pointed out that Stephen Lewis refused to support Bill 83 because it didn’t go far enough.
is a liberating Her interpretation of Lewis’s non support \ was that “American international unions are not happy about this bill because it forces them to renegotiate their rotten contracts. Under the title Liberation From What Robin Mathews and Leandre Bergeron spoke about the effects of colonization on the psyche. Mathews stated that the Canadian tendency to look abroad for excellence was a prime example of the colonial mentality. He pointed out that the educational system because of its neglect of Canadian content was very much to blame for this situation, and also for the psychological separatism which existed between the Quebecoise and Anglophone Canadians. Bergeron elaborated further on the colonial mentality in relating a brief history of Quebec colonized for centuries by church and state. As he put it, we were so screwed up that we, a colonized people, sent our priests and missionaries abroad to colonize the colonies of our conquerers. The two views on unionism were presented by Kent Rowley, Secretary of the Canadian Council of Unions and Eugene Forsey, political science professor at Waterloo. Forsey clearly lost the argument for international unions as Rowley, aided by Madelaine Peron of the Textile Workers Union, presented massive evidence of corruption and degeneracy within international unions, which he called American unions. Madame Peron referred to the Norris
force Royal Commission set up by Diefenbaker which discovered murders, thievery and racketeering amongst the seafare,r’s international union in Canada, all done in the guise of strike-breaking and pureification of the Canadian Seafarers Union. She challenged Forsey on his statement that Canadian workers are free to choosetheir own unions, by pointing out what happened when the Canadian seaway was built. “This huge construction project was build with a presigned contract between the contractors and the American building trades union, so that to get a job on the seaway of Canada you had to be accepted by and belong to the American building trades union. ” She added that the same thing is happening in Churchill Falls, Labrador right now. Rowley’s horror stories on how CIA money was finding it’s way into the treasury of international unions was not challenged by Forsey, nor was the Hal Banks story as related by Madame Peron. Hal Banks was brought into Canada to bust the Canadian seafarers’ union when they were fighting the Canadian Government after the second world war to save the Canadian merchant fleet. Our Canadian union was defeated and Hal Banks was brought in as a complete dictator over the seafarers union and the fleet was scuttled. The leaders of the trades and labour congress, subsequently leaders of the Canadian labour congress (for which professor Forsey worked) testified to’the good character of Banks so ‘that he could get his citizenship papers. friday

’ _Colonial2 mentality . must be c&t *tiff’ CTF
I WERE asked to name fourteen colonial minded Canadians just off the hat I ‘would list the fourteen presidents of Ontario universities,” Robin Mathews -stated friday during ihe integrated ;tudies teach-in on Canadianization. A colonial minded Canadian explained Mathews is ‘so’meone who defines an expert as one who comes ‘ram another cduntry, an important event happehs ?lseMere, a sophisficated accent is a-foreign accent, b serious idea has to begin in another intellectual community, and shy new concept of knowledge canlot be Canadian or it cannot be good. Test yourielves, ’ ’ he invited. “The business of liberation from the co_lonial nentality is something that we are very unwilling usually to accept, but before there is any kivd of liboration physically and geographically, there has to )e a liberation of the psyche. “I am going to give you a couple of examples of he kind if indignify that Canadians suffer, which is ,he sign of a co-i.onial mentality which most of us inhabit.-1 picked up the chevron today, aid noticed, an &i&! on economics: the -unbalanced guru’s of the powers that be extracted from the McGill Daily, McGill University which I havesaid before is shortly to be renamed the american university of Quebec a liberationist article, which’ includes a -list of books which provide a. radical perspective on economic zapitalistism in the western economy none of which are Canadian. “Why hasn’t it listed the Watkins report, Cary Lemitts Silent Sprrender, Harold Innis’s Einpire and ?ommkication perhaps even’. Bias of Communica!ions, Jim Laxer’s The Energy Poker Game. You can go on listing serious liberationist critical, economic material that .qeroes into the center of the colonial status of Canada in the area of economics. “There you are you see, if yoti want to look at xonotiics in,the west you look at books somebody las written outside of Canada. That is the colonial mentality and wai picked up by your editors from ;he McGill daily. The fad is that maybe your editor should have seen it, certainly the McGill Daily-should lave seen that oversight when- they concluded their libliography. ” Mathews pointed to the way french language and iterature is handled in Canadian anglophone unirersities, as another example of the contempt Canafians have for their own community. “In university after university across this country the language ;hat is taught is the beautiful language of France. People are hired to teach parisian french to Canadian students whose most important activity in the next decade is going to be to speak to french Canadians ln their own tongue. “When you look at the literatbre you discover that we are still studying french literature. French-Canadian literature is left on ‘as a meager &nd insulting token or else not studied in French departments at all. r) “If you look at the crises in Canada today, whether one is a federalist or whatever,_one is going, to have to recognize that in the negt 25 years, the people of Quebec and the people of English Canada, are going to have to engage in all kinds of close relations, however they describe them constitutionally. One of the most demanding things that we should be doing at this moment is devoting great pots of university funds in Anglophone Canada to make the managers of tomorrow, that is you, fluent, bilingual and able to read me’ Devoir every morning, which of coyrse I know, is delivered free-here by <he administration in front of your classrooms so that you can all read- what is going on in Quebec. But instead we are treating major Canadian issues with open contempt, and-there’s no crisis in Canada as far as ad-ministrators are concerned.” Mathews also pointed out that one of the conclusions reached in Abbie-Hodgins book What cu/ture what heritage which surveyed about 977 schools across Canada, Quebec included,, was that the educational system is largely to blame br the psychological separatism which-esists among Erench gid eng%sh Canadians because they do not learn each other’s culture, in schools or universities. “My own french department at Carleton wiversity ias teaching a language course to first year stud&ts -and first fear students poured in because the truthof the matter-is that english Canadians, now especially, are growing more and more serious about Quebec byt the french department decided too many people were coming iA so they went to Senate and said “please may we stop giving that course. Happily Senate said no. ” Commenting on the ir&minent departure of professor Les Armour from the philosophy department of Uniwat Mathews stated, Les is doing ,? lot df research on Canadian philosophy which I understand his colleagues don’t believe can exist, for how can a savage and bestial peasantry have a philosophy worth recording. I think that Les A.rmour’s departure from this university should be stopped if passible. Apparently this town seems to be soo small. for

Les Armour and thk, many americans that inhabit the philosophy department and in typical americfn fashion we know who is getting run out of town.” “Now that is an ancient practice in Canada: If you read Sam Slick by Haliburton’you will find,that Sam Slick was at one point an american maker of def&tive clocks aild when a catholic priest asked him his religion he said “I am a clockmaker,? which describes the US brilliantly of course. He -has no religion but producing defective consumer goods which he can flog in a dishonest way on the periphery of the american Empire. In 1836 Haliburton wqs writing these things. At one point Sam Slick turns to the British north american and says; “yo_u people are going to have to move back like the Indians, .the waves of civilization are going to tak6 over. We may be ‘able to find you a reservation of two behind Labrador or Something like that but the trumpets of destiny are sounding and the handwriting is on the wall. “In l&8 Mel Watkins stands up and says here’s something new - a hundred and forty. five years later. “One more Canadian stands up and says look what’s happening qnd unless we move fast we are going to find Haliburton was right. But Les Armour is a symbol of $is as far as I am concerned - the treatment of Les Armour here has been a gross indignity to anyone who is F serious Canadian. And it will happen and th-ey will probably hire an american to take his place, and we, the nodding colonials half asleep in our drugged condition, will let these things happen because we haven’t come to life seriously yet. “I understand the psychology department is also dumping a Canadian, I don’t know why but it might bear @eking into. I Z&O understand that at t%is university _the human relations department, which would have of course to be created in the,US-only Americans study human relations; other people just have them-is made up of three people all of whom are American. You will now learn human relations from I regret to say, your imperial masters.” which Mathews list of what he terms incredibiiia seems to be growing daily drew gasps from the audience. l “The research directqr for the committee of university presidents’ of Ontario is a -US citizen who has done considerable work for the US military. That might interest you and I think it affects the reports they put out. @“The CBC has just appointed a public relations officer to oversee all public relations in the CBChe-is a_namericaxi citizen. ’ , @“The Bank of Montreal has just hired an american PR firm to do their advertising-a few million dollars a year--They clearly wanted an american , image. l “CUSO - Canadian university students overseas some months ago appointed an american citizen to oversee all cana,dian students working overseas in the english language. l “The National Museum-of Canada appointed a girl about a year ago a girl to be chief curator of design and installations. I have it through the grapevine that she is not very well qualified. She did an 1 MA in the Kotchi wars in the US. l “The Water Resources Research Center at UBC, funded with $350,000 federgl .aid is going to be one of the most important research centers in Canad; because whoever gets Canadian water in the next .15 years-has Canada by the jugular vein. When they set up that center a few weeks ago they announced that they were bringing a man from Wisconsin to head up the center. l “The Stephen Leacock Museum you know which is our big joke, is run-by an american curator.. .“A chief economic adviser to the department of mines in the US was very recently squeezed out of his job by the Nixon administration and a few weeks later Ramparts was happy to report that he was doing the same job for the Canadian government. *Bruce Partridge,pre&dent of Victoria university in BC was exposed recently as having two of his degrees bought from a correspondence school in . Chicago - a one room correspondance school. “He has been president of Victoria! for two years. His degree granting institution is advertised in popu/ar mechanics-for any of you who want to get ahead _fast-and not only that but a professor at the UofT who-wrote a book on universities to go and not to So to, listed thirty phoney institutions and president Par_ tridge’s was 7th on th& list. “In fact, it was so bad that even the americah federal government lifted it’s right to give degrees, Shortly after Bruce Partridge left. “An 18 man search committee, of which 17 were Canadian, decided that Bruce Partridge was the best man they -could find to be president qf the UofV. A man with a BA degree from Oberon and two correspondance degrees from an institution which an expert has called phoney, is more qualified than any Ctiadian they cafi find.

TAKE A NUMBER of assumptions in my remarks. First of all I believe that the cational ‘independence of our country (nust be preserved, that an independent trade union movement is e’ssential to the continued independence of this country and that what is now properly called American Imperialism must not be allowed to dominate the world. .. What is the situation in the trade union movement very briefly. From the government’s 1969 Labour organization report those unions called international - represent 1,346,OOO members in Canada, roughly 65 percent and the Canadi.an unions National Trade total some 828,000 or roughly 35 percent. That percentage has remained ‘fairly stable for the p+t few years but it is to be noted that at this time Canadian Unions are growing at 3 more rapid rate than- the American unions. It is my? judgement that international unions are no more international than General Motors, than. they are in- fact American unions with Canadian branches. We are fascinated by the word international, because most of us believe in some form of ,-internationalism as leading to peace, and that “of course is desirable-. But because the word international is used by the American -unions we are I think continuously mislead. Is a movement iliternational which exists only in the U.S. and Canada? Is a movement ‘international in which all of the authoi-ity, constitutional, organizational, financial and -otherwise remains in one country? I believe from the evidende before us now that the word international is very much mis&d in this connection, and that they must and should be called American Unions. All of the key, officers of these unions are American and that has been true throughout their history of operation in Canada. To my personal memory, and I may be wrong, there has only been one so-called intemitional

labour congress and are in the same basket so to speak, in the same congress with the bulk of the international unions, and presumably for the most part have no particular objection to being there. “One other thing I would like to say, and this is just a minor correction, Mr. Rowley said that he knew of only one Canadian who had ever been president of an international union. I can think of three others at least. The international typeographical union has had two Canadian international presidents, Mr. Prescott and Mr. Armstrong: “I have just about two more things to say. How many workers does Mr. Rowley’s organization represent. Could he tell me that. Rowley: “20,000” “I also want to say that Mr. Rowley referred to an article I wrote some years ago, in which I said something about the amounts of money that had come in to and gone out of Canada on account of the international unions.

“These figures were not available when I wrote that article. On the evidence that I had at the time, which was all I could get and which I admitted was imperfect. It appeared to me probable, that a good deal more money had come into this country from the international unions than had gone out. I strongly suspect that this is still true for that period up to the time when I was writing. “Whether the sections of Canadian international unions have autonomy, I think that varies a good deal. I have a quotation here from the DBS report on the subject and I think the point is well taken. I think there is considerable variation in the amount of autonomy enjoyed by canadian sections of international unions. I should think that on the whole in the industrial unions the degree of autonomy is pretty considerable. According to this document again, the Canadian officers of such unions as the steelworkers are elected by the danadian membership and my recollection is that Canadian sections

ger overlook the state of corruption and ‘degenerecy that is so wide spread in the ranks of American labour. If you want to’ go over the entire list of the hundred or so international unions operating in the U.S. I would venture to state flatly that at least 50 percent are under the control of racke2 teers and thieves, and you need only to go cal Ids over one organization after another to licfind the necessary proof. I will refer to one or two of them. I’ll rarefer to a hundred if you want. There is hu?risomething that troubles me very very much, that the apologists for the American unions in Canada always seek to avoid. lay Some of us have forced them to a certain extent to deal with this matter of finEi bra- ances, but there is one thing I have not yet been able to get the newspapers of ose this country to report. I hope that the ity. Star, Telegram and Globe and Mail will lay erifinally get the facts out. Many of these unions operating in Canada have taken ore extraordinary large sums of money from akthe Central Intelligence Agency of the US. ore cryThis includes many of the so-called respectable unions that are considered to be res liberal-not in the racketeering cateons gory-and that is why I refer to the Amer-e me ican Newspaper Guild. The secretary ‘antreasurer of’ the American newspaper win guild admitted publicly, after the facts were shoved under his nose, that his union netook only one million dollars from the 97,CIA in only four years. He admitted over can $240,000 a year was given to him personWally-as a secretary-treasurer of the newspaper guild, and when asked what ‘fed the money was for, he said it was for a the Blue broad international program. Walter )mReuther, the respectable liberal of the the United Auto Workers was finally forced the to admit that he took a cheque for $50,rigs 000, when a CIA agent wrote a long article ow. about it in the Saturday Evening Post and I ing have here somehwere Reuther’s explanaontion.

looked as though the communists were going to take over the trade union movement in Europe, not in the US, and that he needed to send this money of the CIA to his brother victor in the Paris Bureau in order to teach the French workers who they should elect as their officers, because they were too backward to understand. Now is anyone here so naive as to believe that none of that CIA money was spent in Canada. Professor Forsey has written some articles in which he says Canadian labour has all the autonomy it wants and needs, that it receives more money than it sends. I wonder how he can explain the autonomy of the Seafarers International Union in .Canada under the leadership of Paul Hall in the U.S. What about the mine workers union, a history of corruption and murder and wrecking, that has operated equally in Canada as in the States - the murder of Yablonski might be their affair down in the U.S. but when they stuff ballot boxes in Nova Scotia and beat workers who want to vote honestly in Canada, in order to sustain Tony Bowles, then that becomes a Canadian affair. What about the textile unions, I should know something about that, I was international vice president of the United Textile Workers of America. Look at the record, every single member of their staff is appointed from New York or Washington and that includes the Canadian director. ’ Can we speak of something more recently-we are often told of what a great union the United Auto Workers is-have you consulted lately with some of the men in Oshawa, Windsor, Talbotville, or Oakville, where their officers had some trouble reporting upon the contracts they had negotiated down. in Detroit. This was supposed-to be the great example of international solidarity and the

Some of those are very highly centralized - some of the industrial unions are too, butfewer of them. “I just have one final thing to say about this. When you talked about all this dishonesty and racketeers and so forth, I am not in a position to say how much of that is accurate. But all I can say is that on the whole I think workers know their own business best. Give them time and I think they will make a reasonable decision in their own interest. The fact remains that for a very long time most canadian workers have chosen to belong to international unions. I think they have done so because they thought the international unions were stronger and could do more for them and in large part that very largely that has been true. “It is possible now that purely Canadian unions could do the job.

jo b~chevronphotosbys international unions are still able to do a better job. In the early days of Canadian unionism down to pretty well the end of the 19th ’ century, you will find that the Canadian trade union movement was very ecumenical and going into the international unions was mainly on the initiative of the Canadian workers, with good. reasons, some of which no longer exists incidentally, namely the easy migration back and forth across the border. When ‘you come to the end of the century you find I think what can -well be called evidence of American imperialism. On the part of the American federation of labour. They were afraid that with the American branch plants up here, and lower wages and things, they might find their members income undercut and that was one reason they came in and did an immense organizing job. After that, I don’t know. I don’t know whether it was American or Canadian initiative or a mixture of the two,.

Canadian workers at General Motors struck for 11 weeks and when the Americans settled they went back to work. They had told the Canadians “we will go out together and well go back together.” They went back and the Canadians stayed out for ‘another four weeks trying to fight for conditionsfor workers here in Canada. What about the Ford situation because it was one after another-again the great example of solidarity-the Americans didn’t strike at all. And what about the Chrysler agreement - here McDermott said - “the contract will be negotiated with a joint committee in Detroit and everything will be settled together.” The workers of Chrysler in Windsor didn’t think so because it took my old friend Charley Bucks twenty minutes to get the floor just to try to report upon the agreement, and why. One simple good reason, that the workers were asked to vote upon a contract which had already been settled and this is why the men were throwing bottles on the ice. They knew they were voting for nothing, the agreement was signed anyway. What about the Steel Union, I am mentioning these because people say sometimes, you refer to racketeering in the unions but they are not representative. The head of the steel union says they got all the autonomy they want but I’ve got the steel constitution here. Sure they’ve got a man called Mahoney who’s a Canadian director - he’s got the title. I was a Canadian director too, I remember the international director giving me the title. He said, “call yourself what you want, I don’t give a damn as long as it doesn’t change the situation.” So Mahoney is director of the Steel Workers Union, but -read the constitution on page 13 and it says there listing the powers of the president and the duties of the executive board, that he‘occupies the same position as any other district (tire&or and he shall
carry out the wishes of the international president as director - it’s in very plain english. And then look on page 76 where it says that in order to strike, approval of the international president is necessary. And then look at the same page where it says that wherever there is a check off of union dues, the cheques shall be’ sent directly to the head office in Pittsburgh. Do I need to go ,over them all, The International Ladies Garment Workers Union officers imposed on the workers of Toronto and Montreal from New York they had no, choice in their selection. But let me give you an example. In montreal and Toronto, and particularly in Montreal the great majority of the workers are French Canadian, Italian, Portuguese, Greeks the situation has changed from the days when there were mostly Jewish workers in those plants-and yet they are still collecting from them to send to Israel - you mean to tell me that French Canadians, Italians Portugese and Greeks voted to support the State of Israel. The labourers union in Toronto recently had a contract imposed upon them from the international office - taking another 29c an hour off the workers for an international welfare fund. They’ve got a local of 5,909 members in Toronto -and when they voted it down a number of times, they were informed that an agreement was going to be signed whether they liked it or not and it was signed against their wishes. At the Edmonton convention of the Canadian Labour Congress a group of well meaning people, called I think pancakes, proposed some minor amendments to the constitution of the CLC and some of these were reluctantly accepted. The ink was not dry on the paper before vice president Baldry was speaking to an international convention in San Francisco and he told them openly - to pay no attention,
Berberon:

The history of Quebec as depicted by Leandre Bergeron friday last in the arts theatre is one of continuous oppression by the clergy, European French, British, and Canadian anglophones. If the French Canadians are now crying for separatism it is only because every attempt to win self deter’ mination in the past has been thwarted. As Bergeron outlined it,, the white europeans invaded this continent a few centuries ago and they said they discovered the Americas. Bergeron That’s a very racist statement, that is to say that the men that were here didn’t exist as men - they were apes. There were men here, they were red men, but they were men and therefore Cartier did not discover Canada. He explored the region and exploited the resources and the people too. Our history is divided into three regimes. athe french regime which is colonization and exploitation of Canada by the French 1 oThe English regime which starts with the conquest of Canada by the British Colonial powers 1760 and not only exploted the red man but the Quebecoise too. @Since the 1920’s or thereabouts all of us have been systematically exploited by the U.S. Under the French regime the clergy and the colonizers fought with each other over how best to exploit the red man. After the conquest the clergy assumed the role of negro king. (a negro king is a leader of a conquered people ready to work for the conquerer, and even today we have evidence of it, and this explains why Quebec was a priest ridden province and was medieval in many ways for so long. The clergy were very glad that the cenglish took over the colony and there are documents to prove this. Twenty or thirty years after the French Revolution you had bishops stating that it was wonderful that the English had taken over Canada, because if they hadn’t there would have been a French revolution here. The Clergy’s interest was with the nobility, with the feudal class. Because of the British conquest the Canadienne were pushed back in to the middle ages - feudalism in fact. When a bourg; eoise developed in Quebec, American democracy was the great ideal, (and it was for that time), they started the struggle for liberation. They first of. all tried it as legally as possible, in the assembly where they had a

majority. They formed the Canadienne party and gave a rough time to the Tories who represented English interests. But the colonial powers didn’t let this go too far. ‘You had systematic blocking, dissolution of the assemblym, new elections and all the old tricks. The Canadienne people were following the bourgeoise who wanted to liberate Quebec from clergy and colonial domination, but they soon found out that legal means couldn’t do it. The only solution was armed struggle: Papineau was against armed struggle and dropped out at this point’. He was for econ0mi.c boycott, but it didn’t do much. Not buying english hats and coats didn’t help much. The Canadienne could wear tuks and home made jackets, and possibly hurt the feelings of some bourgeoise in Westmount, but that was all. When armed struggle started they weren’t prepared, they made mistakes, instead of guerilla warfare which would have been very effective. They fought in the classical way with that army here, or this armythere, Napoleanic style. And although they won the old battle they lost many more. They took refuge in the most important buildings of the towns and the British troops just surrounded and set fire to these buildings. That’s what happened at Ste. Jean and Ste. Eustache. The uprising was put down. After the rebellion the Canadienne fell into a very low *depression. Durham’s report to the Colonial office stated that the Canadienne should dissappear by assimilation and the active union of the two Canadas was planned. Then some capitalists decided we should have a bigger country but the Canadienne were not consulted, Confederation was imposed on them. Some of the Quebec elite tried to sell the idea of confederation to them, but it didn’t work. About this time the elite tried to create myths about the Canadienne to make him forget what his situation really was. The clergy and the petty bourgeoise drummed uP dreams for us, so that we wouldn’t have to face our daily reality, so we are told we have great missions to accomplish. We manufactured priests and missionaries and sent them all over. Mind you, we-didn’t send them to Westmount or Ontario we sent them to countries that were colonized by the&-itish, and the French. We, a colonized people sent missionaries to colonize others. That’s how screwed up we were. We even sent men to defend the ter-
’
ritories of the Pope, when his temporal (real power) was threatened by the unification of Italy. The vocation of the lay elite became that of spreading the French culture in North America. The role for the lower classes was to have large families, Maybe we could get back at the english by multiplying like rabbits. So the ethic was large families, work hard, till the land, sow the seed of the lord. They preached asceticism. We were a jolly people at one time but then we become very serious and very depressed. The fact that the land was no good didn’t matter, the youth of that day were called upon to move into’ the Laurentians, cut the trees down and sow the seed of the lord. This whole vision was going against our whole e& onomic rationale. During the first world war the Canadienne were again put down when they refused to join the army. After the war, American capital started to flow into Quebecas the Americans had a surplus so they exploited Quebec and the Quebec people as cheap labour and the Government of Quebec played the role of Negro king shared by the clergy. Duplesis played this role effectively... he went to mass regularly and started a system of patronage while selling Quebec to America. After the depression salvation through agriculture started again. Then Lesage came to power in 1960 and the Quiet Revolution started. Then the RIN started up with the idea of making Quebec a separate country, but things moved too slowly and other groups decided to plant bombs to speed things up. This startled even the Quebecoise. The first reaction of a colonized people is fear of change. When you’ve been cretinized for hundreds of years it’s hard to distinguish what is responsibility and what is freedom, and naturally this type of action was disturbing the quiet revolution of Lesage. It was so quiet it wasn’t really a revolution at all. These young people thought that bombs would change things quickly, that the Quebecoise would rise and separate Quebec, but it didn’t happen that way. The next bombs, of Vallieres and Gagnon were exploded against the economic system, the factories. Then the separatist party started under Rene Leveque, now that’ party represents the bourgeoisie of Quebec trying to get a hold of the State of Quebec. y . A

IT HAS BECOME abundantly clear to this newspaper that the university of Waterloo is lost in piles of dirt; construction begun and construction never started. On paper, the university is the hero of the day, even, though the inepitude demonstrated by the university in creating the circumstances that lead to the problems concerning the. pedestrian traffic bridge point to this institution as the villian. Are we to continue to be blinded by seeming humanitarian acts that are no more than cover-ups for blunders? Since when is exploitation a suitable replacement for survice? We refer now to the university’s “Give the Bridge a Function” contest, announced shortly after it became apparent that due to lack of communication between university, city and provincial officials, the pedestrian traffic bridge would be totally unnecessary. The university was quick to make the best of a bad situation and announced, in crow-crackled tones,, that it, the university of Waterloo;would be the first university in Canada to open parkland for the _f‘relaxation, leisure and enjoyment of all”. And then came the contest. “Give the-Bridge a Function, they liberally call it. Humbug. The entries have flooded in from around the world. The restaurant theory, as mentioned in the article to the left, is the most popular with one notable modification. It was suggested by the department of university affairs that to save money, the roof would not be pl,aced on the edifice, thus making the servery the only topless restaurant in Waterloo. Other cranks have entered the contest. Here are some sample entries.. . . @convert the bridge to a one-lane bowling alley @convert the bridge to a dance floor for the bunny hop @convert the bridge to a launch silo for physics departmen t missles @convert the bridge to a greenhouse for Integrated Studies Any one of these entries is nothing more than an ugly joke and a form of exploitation of the lowest order. What will come next? Will the federation of students buy up all the Johnny-On-The-Spot concessions for the parkland area? Can the security department afford the cost of speedboats to patrol the waterways late at night? What assurance have we that ducks won’t cause collissions between kayaks? This is the strongest case this newspaper has seen for student participation in university government in many years. Would this matter have reached such proportions if students were had been rep-

Could the administration have gotten itself into such a mess if Ira Needles was responsible to the board of student activities of the federation of students? Students...people of all beliefs . . . unite. Don’t just sit there as your bridge is turned into a mockery, a target for the slanderous words of other universities around the world. They’ll try to tell you to be proud that your university has built a park for the enjoyment of all. But realize that as these words flow from their lips, their hearts hold the ugly secret of poor planning. Let the swimming pool crack! Let the gymnasium floor be replaced every month. Let the library be enlarged by a hundred more floors and let it sink into the myre. But GIVE US OUR BRIDGE.

Brian Light will be in the chair until next year, while vice-president was left vacant. Both Sue Darling, secretarytreasurer and Chris Krawczyk, librarian were acclaimed to their posts. Editor of the history society newsletter was left up to the executive just elected. No one wanted to take on the responsibility. The new executive is pledged to

You might be looking at this set of after and before snapshots and thinking that a change has certainly come over Nigel Strothard in the last three years. One of the pictures is of Jim Strothard, wonder boy ‘of Sir John A. MacDonald high school in Agincourt, virile all-round athlete of whom the whole school was proud. The summer after he left high school in 1968 he stunned the track world by winning the mile at the Canadian junior championships in St. Lambert with a time of 4:17.9. In the same meet he placed second in the 880 and was on the winning mile relay team. A few short weeks later he ran what is still his best mile time, clocking 4: 15.9 at the CNE. In those days Jim --was very keen on athletics. Looking back on it now, he feels that it was a

bit of an ego trip thing as well as a lot of fun. “I used to think that one day I’d finish a race and a nice looking girl would come up to me and say: “Hi ! I’m Carol. What are you doing tonight?’ I don’t really think that anymore. ” After finishing grade 13 and thinking for awhile, Jim came ‘to Waterloo because it was the closest place which accepted him and Bruce Walker-went here. He competed with ‘moderate success for the Warriors that fall. Then Nigel let the track slide as he found himself doing other things, like sitting around listening to the local all night country dj. This enabled him to start winning the mystery singer contest at ten to two each morning with astonishing regumity. After failing first year Arts and returning last year to pick up the odd missing credit, he has slipped into second year psychology. However, the only course he takes which interests him is

He’s really into a wide variety -of music. “The Kinks seem to be a nice kband”, he says, although he’s been kndwn to come home with a recording of Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. For the past two summers Nigel has worked in a Jewish cemetery in Toronto. He likes’ working outdoors but will probably not make a career of it. “For the rest of my life I’ll probably be undecided about what I am doing and continue to sneak around at night stealing movie posters. ” Recently he has been- having thoughts about going to Newfoundland to fish and find a little peace of mind. “There are times when I-don’t have peace of mind.I think I’d rather be away from the city but its hard to just pick up and leave.” The big fellow will continue to run sometimes but although he used to consider himself an athlete he doesn’t really anymore. Nigel says, “It would take too much work to become _ really good, so I just do it now as a form of recreation. Its still nice to race sometimes. ” The attraction of the sport over others to Nigel is its emphasis on individualityand the lack of body contact. Nigel lives a retired life. He looked forward to last tuesday, perhaps a typical day in his life at school. “I’ll probably get up around 11: 30 . ...sit around and rap...have a bowl of fluffs and go to psych 242...around 2:30 I go to get my picture taken, then I’ll have a nap and read film magazines until film class at 7.

Last weekend the Canadian intercollegiate athletic union indoor track championship‘was held in Winnipeg. Plthough the Warriors won the title for Ontario and Quebec last month, the local athletic department didn’t see fit to pressure the 0-QAA or federal government into sending the team west, One Warrior decided to pay his own way out and you might say that he- personally served notice that Waterloo has the best college track team in the country. Gord Robertson took part in three events at the meet and came away with two first places and one second. He was most pleased with his triple jump performance as he outclassed the field with a leap of 46 feet, 3 inches. A 21’9” long jump placed him second behind Montreal’s outstanding jumper Michel Charland and he took to the track later to capture the 60 yard hurdles in a time of 7.8 seconds.

Football-it meuns. by John Adapted
McMurthy from

Nation
A
. i
FEW YEARS AGO, I played professional football-1 was a corner linebacker-for a team called the Calgary Stampeders. The Stampeders, as well as the eight other teams that form the equivalent in Canada to the NFL, are much like any pro team in big-league football. Any difference between them and say, the Minnesota Vikings is essentially that they have some Canadian players, whereas the Vikings have none at all. Indeed the similarities in this particular case are extensive when one considers that the Vikings’ ex-quarterback Joe Kapp, their general manager Jim Finks and their coach Bud Grant all performed these functions in Canada (two of them for the Stampeders when I played) for longer than they’ve been with the Vikings. In short, professional footbail is much the same in principle and practice on both sides of the 49th parallel. Like most players I did not seek to become a pro from some personal quirk. I acted, rather, upon the dominant imperative of north amerikan male culture, which is to show how tough and competitive you’ are. Recognizing that being a top dog in a violent game lent one much the same magic as packing a fast gun in Tombstone, I trained, weight-lifted and backed people down until I was a well-publicized fullback, being drafted by the pros. I made the team - the only Canadian college player in my year to break into a starting lineup essentially because I had developed the obsessional competitiveness and agile cunning required for success in any elitist structure. At first, I rarely reflected on these prerequisites of the game, but as time went on the concealed became more and more manifest to me that pro football was not so much a sport as a sick society’s projection of itself into public spectacle. It now seems obvious to me that the increasingly popular Sunday contests between sophisticated systems of bigmen power - the pro football games - should not be viewed as mere weekend diversion but rather as a growing religion, an idealization into morality play of the bellicose amerikan way before a congregation of tens of millions. The tremendous rise in popularity of pro and college football in Amerika since the second world war is a resuft of people not having anything on which to act out their aggressions during the cold war. If football is a safety valve for people’s aggressive tendencies, “then maybe things should blow up, because things aren’t right in this country (the US). ”
Support can be marshaled for this claim almost as soon as one pauses to look. To begin with, the first major principle of football is possession - holding onto the desired object (the ball), protecting it by rule-governed violence from the other team. “Possession” the key to football ; “private property’” the key to our society: legalized violence the sanction of both. It is no accident. When one considers as well that the inevitable conclusion of such a game - whether gridiron or social - is monopoly by the most powerful, the analogy then becomes still more compelling. But the similarity does not end there. In football one must not only try to keep possession, one must also try to gain it from the other side. This is done, literally, by forcin,g the opponent off his territory, yard by yard, until he has nothing left. When that occurs, the scoring side acquires abstract assets called “points”, and the contest begins again. The likeness of this process to the capitalist law of increasing what is owned by outmaneuvering others of what they own and thereby gaining abstract assets called “money” is too obvious to comment on. In both “games,” the goal is more and more abstract value, without upper limit or concern for the competitor. The role of the competitor is indeed interesting enough in both spheres. In football, the truly profession-
al attitude is not to think of the opponent as a human being at all - he is a “position,” to be removed as efficiently as possible in order to benefit the team’s corporate enterprise of gaining points, The mask oper his face and the other protective equipment he wears reinforce this status of non-humanity: while - if all that is not enough - official fines for “fraternizing” with the other side diminish any points of contact that might remain. Of course, one need hardly elaborate how this resembles life outside the stadium - the4 business or political opposition as simply something which must be removed in order to secure corporate, party or national interests, whose representatives are generally in something like a conventional coverall uniform and head style, and with whose products or agents it is unwise to associate. The only difference is that in football, the antagonism is overt. The circumstances and manner in which football is played are also suggestive. Millions of dollars are spent on the most lavish technology and expertise of entertainment, while huge segments of the population live in squalor. An infinitesimal elite plans in secret and plays the game, while the rest watch from the side lines. The participants are concerned not with the activity as such but with the cash payoff (“a realy money player”). The qualities most universally celebrated in the game are a combination of fear of failure (“hates to lose”) and ruthless aggression (“mean”). The onlookers feel that it is “their” team though they have nothing whatever to do with its function. A suppressed sexuality keeps expressing itself in concealed forms (bottom-touching, pile one, clutching embraces and virginal girls twirling batons). The theme of the field is reinforced again and again in the commercial ads for cars that are ever bigger, faster and more powerful (the predator nomenclature for both football teams and cars is worth nothing). A deeply rooted racism is implicit in the total exclusion of black owners; ( coaches or quarterbacks, the de facto segregation of players, and in the conventional mythology of physically gifted “niggers” who are “stupic” and “don’t like to get hit”. The language of war is habitually employed (“field general”, “long bomb”, “boys”, “blitz”, “front line”, “pursuit”, “good hit”, .on ritual and granduer, on the national’ anthem and the pregame hush that cast a spell or religious sanctity upon the whole event. And so forth. But perhaps most important to football is Authority: the strict hierarchy of the club and its exhaustive control of every aspect of the game and, even, the personal lives of the player employees. The unforgiveable sin of a player is to question someone above him - if he does that, he’s finished. The chain of command moves from the owner (who is almost- never seen), down through the general manager, the coach, the quarterback and trustworthy veterans. Unlike any other game (though the tendency is also growing in baseball), every pattern of movement on the field is strictly dictated by nonplaying superiors - detailed formation, movements of formulation (i.e. plays), and every possible decision on the field are all given from above. Similarly, patterns of behavior off the field are strictly regulated - the bedtimes of the players, their physical pleasures, their traveling clothes, their habits of speech (my old coach formally prohibited all “cussin”), the mode and times of their relations with the public (commercial, social or political activity that is not to the authorities’ liking may lead to fines or ‘dismissal). Even the team one plays for ,is decided by higher officials - the player being “drafted” (this term is revealing) by a club through a procedure in which he has no voice whatever. Any defiance of any part of this whole structure of command means per-T manent banning from the game.
Football as a part of the American way of life is closely connected to the political structure in the US. President Nixon ‘hands out trophies to winning teams and is the “typical middle-American spectator”, while defense secretary Melvin Laird and Billy Graham, Nixon’s ‘*spiritual confidante’: are parade marshalls for bowl games and lockheed aircraft sponsors the half-time show.
evident resemblances Though there are certain between the football corporation and other types of corporation, the more striking similarity is of course to the military, or indeed to political fascism. In all three spheres, absolute obedience to higher authority is required in every aspect of life, the principles of uniformity and order are rigidly enforced, and destructive violence is the fundamental mode of extra-group com~ munica tion. But football comes closer to political fascism, I think, in its cultivation of mass-gathering
hysteria/ and its fawning idolization of the powerful. The correlation between the growing tendency toward extreme Right politics in north amerika and the increasing popularity of big-league football should not be overlooked. If this appears fanciful, consider the widespread coincidence between devotion to football and to sociopolitical conformity in Amerikan learning institutions and in the people as a whole. Nationalistic displays are conspicuously - and increasingly - evident at football games (recently there was an official period of silence for US military personnel held captive in North Vietnam). And the late dean of coaches, Vince Lombardi, outlined football’s mission as follows : “We must regain respect for authority. We must learn to respect authority. A man must be part of a group and subject himself to that group. Discipline, that is what football is.” If the connection between football and politics still seems ingenious rather than substantive, ponder this remark by the former California superintendent of public instruction, Max Rafferty: “Critics of college football are kooks, crumbums and tommies - hairy, loud-mouth beatniks. Football is war - without killing. They are the custodians of the concepts of democracy. As football players, they possess a clear, bright fighting spirit which is Amerika itself.” And then consider the words of President Nixon after US troops recently and unexpectedly invaded North Vietnam : “Sometimes you have to take them by surprise. It’s like football. You run a play and it fails. Then you turn around and call the same play again because they aren’t expecting it. ” The connections between the politics of fascism and the mania for football are too many to be ignored: both ground themselves on a property-seizing principle, apotheosize struggle and competition, publicly idolize victory and the powerful, make authority absolute, and relate to opposing groups by violent aggression. When the president of the United States compares war maneuvers to football plays and the head of the education system in one of the richest states suggests that war principles of football represent “Amerika itself”, the associations become somewhat sinister. One might be excused for wondering whether the “game theory” so popular with pentagon and white house strategists might not be instructively fleshed out into a football model, with the world as gridiron, the game plan as “possession”, and Amerika as history’s “greatest ever” football machine. Sports should be human, human and spontaneous, just the way work should be, just the way university should be. That’s the revolution, man. People should be participating, not just watching a lot of gu ys beating hell out of each other.. . I’
LAST WEEK, for the first time since they were appointed in September, members of president Nixon’s sports advisory conference got together to attend a white hou,se reception addressed by the president. “I am not the best one to speak on this subject,” Mr. Nixon told them quite frankly. “As a matter of fact... I really hate exercise for exercise’s sake. Bud Wilkinson has constantly told me I must jog every day. I do a little,’ but about a minute is enough.” He went on to declare that it- is no great disgrace if some people prefer to get their exercise vicariously. “Let us face it,” he said, “this is a sports-minded country. That isn’t bad. It has a lot to do with the spirit of a country, the fact that people are interested in how a golf match or a football game or a baseball game or, for that matter, a tennis ‘lame comes out...that people who may not participate, \qho will never be champions, like to watch..... “With television and those marvelous closeups they have , and the reruns and everything else, with television these days the tendency is for people just to sit there with feet up, eating pretzels and drinking-well, drinking, in any event-and that is their participation in sports. I do not think that is bad. As a matter of fact, that can do some, thing for the spirit, as well-in both ways.... “I believe in competitive sports as a spectator or as a participant. I believe in the spirit that an individual develops either as he watches or as he/participates in competition. “I don’t go along with the idea that all that really matters is jogging in place and having a good physical appearance. What really matters, of course, is the spirit as well / as the body.” But then he promised that next morning he would jog two minutes.

Medium Jo--_ L-
*- This year! has seen the conclusion of- yet another dismal football season (what else is new) and once again the results are quickly erased and forgotten. _ In a-typical display of apattiy nobody has troubled to. evaluate the results or question openly the demonstrated ‘inability of the Waterloo coaching staff to -produce a winner or a contender. We would like to-raise a few questions and point out a rather extended string of coincidences. The football Warriors not only can’t maintain their level of mediocrity, (or have they risen to’ their level of incompetence? ) they seem to be sliding backwards. This. season’s record of 1-6-O is far worse than the 1969-record, 3-4-O. mat is the cause for such a disastrous season? 1s it t&t the talented football slavers don’t come to Waterloo? If this is so then it must be coincidence that players who couldn? crack coach Delahey’s line-up at Waterloo have gone to other schools as stars. Players such as Ole Hensrud (ex U of ‘W) a Canadian all-star .at the U of Manitoba; Marshall Caplne (ex U of W), captain at MacMaster, Mike Martin (U of W) from U of - Akron should have been able to heln us, shouldn’t they coach? Even if talent was scarce, is that not partially the’fault of the coaching staff’s recruiting program? There were approximately 100 players in the last training camp. Was the selection of talent so arbitrary that the staff simply invited 100- bodies? If there is a scarcity of talent, Wally, is it mere coincidence that Uniwat -has top teams in hockey, basketball, wrestling, and track and field?. Why ‘were football -Warriors selected in the pro draft? Another interesting phenomena comes to our minds. For the last couple of years Uniwat has had an outstanding defense. How is it that the offense, -run by. head coach Delahey, appears incapable of producing. yardage or points? In three league home games this past season the offense produced precisely 3 points.

Was ‘inexperience holding the club back? Last-year coach Delahey attributed the poor season to inexperience. He was quoted.by the Kitchener-Waterloo .

Two of the assistant coaches,, have head coaching posi-1 tions in other areas (hockey and basketball), which have overlapping seasons. Thus --football becomes secondary, or should, due to the preparation required of a head coach. This is illustrated by the fact that they do misspractises due to conflicts.

On monday night, the old studs at Conrad Grebel hosted a broomball game against their counterparts, the fair maidens. Early in the game, the old studs captured the lead with two well planned and executed scores. The fair maidens recovered quickly and returned the deed with two quickies. The girls’ first score came from an excellent wrist shot by Gary Williams, engineering IB. His score was assisted by Gregory Pulham, Math I, Bill Dunkley, Arts I, and Larry Lehman, Math I. Soon after, Suzy Atyeo, Kin I, scored from a penalty shot to tie the score two to two. The peanlty shot was awarded to her for undergoing a brutal handling by Roger Lewington Env. Studies I. The referees Ross Gerber, Phys. Ed. I, and ‘Blair Taylor, Geog 2, were extremely keen in the policing of the game and are now undergoing negotions for employment with the morality squad on campus.

Fresh Yunkee~ first Ccat~ucfian millionaire Being born of poor parentage is not one of the best recommendations for becoming a millionaire. But in this day and age the rags to riches success of some people in supposedly the guiding star for all of us havenots. So the chevron sports department brings you this story of a determined little American girl who rose from humble beginnings to the edge of financial success where she now stands. It was at Harrisburg Pennslyvania that she received her first big brea, when Nova Scotia’s Duncan McDonald decided he was wkorth a nine hundred dollar investment and launched her on her way to stardom. Under the tutelage of Joe O’Brien she has responded to his directions and gone on to break all existing Canadian records. With Joe behind her all the way, Fresh Yankee ‘has after only six years of racing won in excess of $850,000. Duncan hopes that this year Fresh will break into the million dollar bracket and so become the first Canadian owned horse to do so. Fresh Yankee wassired by an unknown (Hickory Pride) and her dam Pert Yankee brought this little fillie into the world in her first try. Between this unknown bloodline and hersickly stature, Fresh Yankee went for a song at the yearling auctions. \ it is just another beautiful story of a poor girl who made good in our beautiful society. Not to mention the good she has done for her mentor Joe O’Brien and backer Duncan McDonald.

/Aninternational and historical look at abortions HE PRACTICE OF abortion which goes back to human traditions far 1, older than the earliest written history is still the most widespread and the most clandestine method of fertility control in the modern world. In recent years several nations have legalized the practice, and as a consequence induced abortion is emerging from -the shadows and has become a topic of worldwide discussion and controversy. Anthropological data on the incidence of induced abortion are inadequate but there are references to it in ancient medical literature. The oldest written recipe for an abortifacient is attributed to the Chinese, about 2700 BC. The egyptian papyri contain many formulas for inducing abortion. As , sexual mores change, and until contraceptive methods become more available and more regularly used, we can anticipate increasing numbers of unwanted pregnancies and induced abortions. , Women seeking to end pregnancies generally fall into two age groups, 16-25 and 40-50. Sixty percent are married women with two or more children. . The continuing fault of present abortion laws is their favoritism for wealthy, better-educated women, leaving the poor and/or ill-informed woman to the hands of a “criminal” abortionist. In Canada, in 1969, it is estimated 100,000 women obtained illegal abortions. In the U.S. the figure is estimated at over one million. In other words, one out of every five pregnancies ended in unlawfully obtained abortion. Numerous women died from complications of botched abortions and countless others are sterile from similar complications.
T
Less risk than childbearing The defenders of legalized abortion point out the present techniques for the operation, when performed by a competent physician, are so safe that the risk to life is well below the risk of childbearing. American mortality rates indicate 20 deaths per 100,000 live births as opposed to 3 deaths per 100,000 abortions. To the “moral” objector, they reply that most abortions are performed on married women with the consent of their husbands, and that a woman who is the victim of rape should not be forced to suffer the additional indignity of having to bear the child.
At the philosophical level it is argued that no woman should be forced to bear a child she does not want, and that the implied rights of every child include the right to be born wanted and loved. Often a pregnant woman will attempt to abort herself, using one of several different but dangerous methods. Most abortions ending in hospital with complications are self-induced. Lack of information about the seriousness of these attempts and the opinion that hospitals will complete an abortion as spontaneous if bleeding is self-induced, lead many women to resort to using the methods, advised in foolish and dangerous old wives’ tales. When a woman looks for someone to abort her pregnancy, she will find people whose skills vary from none at all to those of a qualified gynecologist. The ability to arrange for a legal abortion unfortunately seems to depend on both the individual’s socio-economic situation and the attitude of her doctor. Canadian law, in effect since 1969, states that therapeutic abortions can be performed if, in the opinion of at least three doctors “the continuation of the pregnancy of such female person would or would be likely to endanger her life or health”. A great deal of valuable time is now being spent in referring women to psychiatrists and consulting physicians. No time should be wasted since termination is easier and safer before the 12th week of pregnancy.
Some
favored
techniques
The favored technique for early abortion (less the twelve weeks) has been dilation and curettage or “D and C”. A series of metal dilators, each slightly larger than the preceeding one, is inserted into the cervical canal to stretch it. When dilated sufficiently, the uterus is scraped out with a curette. The entire procedure usually takes only a few minutes. In recent years a suction method has become popular. After dilation of the cervix a tube with a lateral opening near the end is inserted the fragments areinto the uterus; moved by means of a vacuum pump connected to the tube. This method is easier, quicker, and less traumatic than D and C.
When it is necessary to perform an abortion after 12-16 weeks of pregnancy, one method employed is to remove the fetus by a Cesarian-like operation called a hysterotomy. A- second method for advanced pregnancy uses an injection of highly concentrated salt solution into the uterus. This ends the development of the fetus and causes labor within a few days and the expulsion of the fetus. Every woman, no’matter how desperately she wants to have an abortion, will have an emotional reaction to it-the extent of which will be determined by her own emotional stability, her reasons for the abortion, and the condition under which it was performed. Illegal abortion which is performed under sordid circumr stances, particularly when the patient suffers a great deal of pain or develops a complication, may cause severe emotional upheaval. However, researchers Beck and Marcus conducted psychiatric interviews with women before therapeuti.c abortion and again three to six months after. Half of the abortions were done for psychiatric reasons and half for other reasons. For the topics covered in the interview, the investigators found that psychiatric status was unchanged or improved‘ for both groups,‘casting doubt upon the common assumptions about the harmful consequences from properly managed abortion. Among the less-priveleged women who do not have access to a skilled physician, the abortion risk is substantially higher compared with the risk of pregnancy. According to a study of deaths of women from complications of pregnancy or childbirths in New York city by american doctor Edwin Gold, abortion was the cause of death for 25 percent of white women, 49 percent of non-white women and 56 percent of Puerto Rican women. Statistics on mortality rates relating to abortion are available only from a few countries which have had legal abortions for a period of time. Not surprisingly, where abortion laws are permissive the number, of legal abortions has risen sharply.
International
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Japan have remarkably low mortality rates for abortion since establishing it as a legal practice. Statistics show 1 to 4,deaths per 100,000 legal abortions, less than scandinavian countries. These counties prohibit abortion after the third month of pregnancy whereas Sweden allows it to the fifth month of pregnancy and Denmark to the fourth month. It also appears that Scandinavian women seeking abortion, are in a poorer state of health. Abortions cannot be recommended as a substitution for contraception but it is obvious that contraceptive methods must be - made available to sexually active women of all ages. The need to improve Canada’s inadequate family planning services is paramount. Legal abortions are still not readily available in many parts of Canada I and their availability will remain a grey area depending on geography and good luck until further changes are made in our laws. This community is now being well served by the university birth control center, and the.re are plans to extend the nature of services rendered by this center. It remains a fact in Canada that since neither contraception nor legal abortion have been made readily available, women who see no other way than abortion to solve the problem of unwanted pregnancy may well be forced to seek help from individuals other than reputed physicians, and to suffer the possible consequences. by Carol Jones chevron staff

HAT KIND OF a societv do I want to live in? I want to live in a society that doesn’t spend all its free time trying to kill me. This is high on my list of priorities. 1 want to live in a society which by and large will fuck off and leave me alone. Not because I can’t fight back. I C~II fight back, and every day of, my life stands as testimony of this: after all, I am here. But sometim>s I get so tired. I want, I want, I want, I want . . . does that sound selfish? On the otherhand, why shouldn’t I want: look what I have got. Jacques Cousteau says the Strait of Georgia will be biologically dead in twenty years. Now, I want to know who knows more about marine biology: Jacques Cousteau or some Mindless Mindbender in the provincial capital. Which is the problem, our problem: the society we live in today doesn’t listen to its Cousteaus. Nor, I suppose; does it listen particularily closely to its Mindless Mindbenders either; but it does do what they tell it to-and without discrimination. The point is that it is the society that is at fault, not the Mindless Mindbenders. There is nothing to be gained in the long run of things by merely finding replacements for Mindless and company. They are symptoms, not root causes. The society I want to live in won’t be predicted on

such superficial alterations. The man who took over ’ from Mindless would have to be just as big a Zero as him to get the job in the first place. If by some unprecedented miscaculation of the fickle finger of the body politic he wasn’t and he still got the job, he wouldn’t hold it long. The cancer has infected the whole social organ. Patch and patch-as-can will not work. We need a transplant. I
A new heart ’ But what kind of transplant? As if the choice wasn’t obvious: in keeping with the times, a heart transplant. I do not mean to be facetious. I mean to be quite, quite literal. The society I want to live in will need a new heart, or at least a different one from that which poor society is stuck with now. For right now society’s heart has only one emotion which is hate, one good Christian emotion which is hate and death-just as it always has had. Which is why western society has remained basically unchanged over the last 2,000 years. And I want to change it. I have the gall to want something different despite the depressing record of history. I want a new heart in society, a heart with an opposite emotion. In saying this I know I leave myself open to a very serious charge: oversimplification; and not just oversimplification but also blindness in that I have look, ed at the horror on one side of the fence and automatically leapt to the other, supposing as I leaped that because the one extreme was bad the other extreme would be better. Actually, this is exactly what I have done, even as I
- know that to act in this way is often a mistake. Characteristically, I act this way anyway - because, just as characteristically, I can see no other wav to act. Society hates, and in its hating harms all men. It tries to kill them dammit. I know it does. It tries to kill me every day. It needs to be made to love before I can live happily in it. The society we all must come to terms with every time we wake up has no respect for life. And that is why I sleep in as often as possible. Also, that is why the Strait of Georgia is dying: because our society is basically anti-life. For that matter so is our whole culture-and for my purposes here I tend to use the two words, society and culture, interchangeably. Not without some justification: which is essentially that the social change I envisage is so basic in nature as to make an infinite number of implicit demands on cultural transformation as well. In fact, before the society we live in ceases to be antilife our whole culture must do like-wise-in an immense spectrum of ways: from some of the most fundamental conceptions, both intellectual and emotional, upon which it is based through a thousand and one petty little superstitions. Then, and only then, do we stand a chance of becoming a people whose prime concern is living rather than dying. And I want to live. I want to live ever so badly. Which at the moment I am not doing-partly because my society and my culture impose themselves on me; but partly, also, because as I said before I get tired sometimes . . . so very, very tired. I let them get away with

Kick like a goaded
camel
.
But I am conditioned, thank you kindly, Mr. Skinner, though my grandmother and hers before he knew all about it aeons previous to the invention of your crazy box. Shit! The society I want to live in won’t impose itself on me. Nor will it attempt to condition me to placidc ly accept such imposition. In fact, it will do just the opposite. It will teach me to kick like some goaded camel every time a new chain is even forged, much less brought within fettering distahce of me. For imposition is itself, by its very nature and for whatever reasons it is ostensibly applied, a stultifying force, a force which harnesses and controls and slows down and deadens the vital capacity of men; therefore a killing force, an anti-life force. Perhaps the single most influential factor in the development /of this cultural and social life style - rather anti -life style -which is our sorry lot today has been and is the Christian church. The church down through history has imprinted its will on the lives ofs men. And what a perverse will it has been, in so many cases. A repressive will: it asked men to deny so many natural and vitally important things about themselves, irom their sexuality
as an instrument of-joy and love to very life itself, which the church demanded men efface from their consciousnesses and replace with some airy bit of phoniness it labelled ‘the Hereafter”. Above all, it instructed men in the ludicrous school of obedience and it did the job well. In the 20th century, at a time when the church is less and less in the vanguard of men’s actions, its mark remains on individual and society alike in the form of countless major neuroses high on the list of which is unquestioning obedience to authority no matter what is suspicious rationale or dubious claim to fame. The society I want to live in won’t have anything to do with the Christian church; nor with any of its tattered heirs such as the nation state or a peculiar sexual morality that maims more psyches than it ever protects. It may be a society of love but it will have more in common with what Jesus taught than with what any Christian has taught since. As much as anything, the society I want to live in will build on itself. It will perenially hold its thin skin up to the light and look for holes which unrepaired will allow those good things inside to dissipate outside, and the corruptions outside to enter in and fester and boil and bloat the tender membrane to the point where it simply rots into oblivion. The society I want to live in will criticize itself black and blue and then make something out of its criticisms. It will take a man like Leonard Schneider alias Bruce and put him to good use; encourage him to live on and do
more good work-not kill him. If necessary, pad his toilet seats for him so he won’t crack his head on them, simply because he is worth that extra effort.
Excrement
to play’with
The society I want to live in will give small children excrement to play with so that they will get to know shit well and not be afraid of it; understand that it is one of the products of the life force within them and as such, good; that if it had not come out of them they would have clogged up and bloated and died; that because they are holding it in their hands, it is a life-giving substance. With this kind of knowledge, no child in the society need grow up with an unnatural interest in his own waste and a perverse desire to smear it all over his fellows. Instead of slapping small hands when they stray to genitals, society will show those hands the way and in the process convince those hands that something that creates new life outside the-individual as well as great pleasure inside him has got to be one of the most wonderful thingsin the world and deserving of as much open, uninhibited attention as one has either time or desire to spare it. Not something one hides between leud covers and stuffs under mattresses. The society I want to live in will teach men that things which give life should receive life in return. The society I want to live in will be pro-life. This article university)
