Math students dissatisfied with the computer science curriculum offered a~ present, v met Wednesday to voice their discontent. = About forty-five grads, undergrads and faculty joined in criticism of the current -philosophy of course content and structure. Don Cowan, compu-sci department chairman, said he was “very pleased to see that the students around here are interested ’ enough to let us have it with both barrels.” Rick Beach, one of the students who called the meeting, was particularly concerned with the “official” math faculty attitude toward computer science. The position was enunciated at ‘70 meeting of a november the special interest group in computer science education of the ACM (association for computing machinery). Cowan and Bob Roden’s paper revealed that: “It is felt that computer science does not yet merit treatment as an independent discipline because it is not sufficiently stabilized and it has not developed enough of a theoretical base.. . “The approach has been, therefore, to treat computer

McClelland-Stewart may get financial aid from student federations across Canada. At monday night’s council meeting, the federation voted to support a university of British Columbia proposal that would give funds to the Canadian publisher. In other business, it saw fit to grant radio Waterloo a budget sufficient to carry on operation for the next year. 1 The UBC proposal would allow this and other student federations to invest a million dollars in a three party corporation. the intention is to keep control of the Canadian publishing industry within Canada. The corporation would be comprised of the student federations, private business and the government No date has been set for incorporation. After discussing’ the implications of the UBC proposal, grad rep Pete Warrian presented a four part motion supporting the proposal in principle. The motion sought further information on the legal arrangement of the corporation and the legal implications for the federation. The final part stated that among the legal provision for student representation having veto power on the policy-making board of the proposed corporation. The motion carried. John Dale, communications czar announced a new concept for the operation of radio waterloo. His proposal would eliminate the position of station mana-

science as an area of specialization within the overall framework of the university’s degree programme in mathematics. This mathematics programme to specialize all0 ws students in many other branches of the sciences, such mathematical as applied mathematics, statistics and pure mathematics, as well as computer science.” At the same symposium, a representative of the ACM curriculum committee, Preston Hammer of Penn State aired somewhat conflicting views: “. . The committee on undergraduate programs in matheof the mathematical matics association of america has done appreciable damage in its backward treatment of computer science, trying to delay instruction and trivialize it to conform to the old-fashioned views of mathematics it represents. ” Two of the conclusions the ACM curriculum committee arrived at were: - 0 The future of computer science hinges on the excellence of instruction at the undergraduate level. 0 Computer science will not be taught effectively if subordinate to another department. Items brought up by the stu-

dents at- the meeting centered around the department’s failure to satisfy interests of those who are deeply involved in computer science. It was felt that most of the undergraduate I compu-sci courses were trivial to these people and should be condensed and offered in earlier years ; plenty of “deep” compu-sci topics can be offered i as undergrad courses to satisfy those who are “hot” on the subject. Alternative approaches to the present lecture system were suggested, such as allowing selfdirected study and limited-enrollment special - interest courses, using faculty as resource persons, not lecturers. A faculty committee is at present studying curriculum changes but, as Beach, a student representative on the committee, observed, a change of philosophy toward computer science is definitely required within the math faculty. “It’s unrealistic to entice students with the ‘computer science them day’, and then humiliate with the type of undergraduate program being offered. The fact that it’s a math course with the compu-sci option doesn’t reflect the need to have a dynamically changing course of study. “Our ’ curriculum doesn’t allow us the freedom to move with the times,” he added. Beach disagreed with the notion that the faculty really doesn’t from the subsidy to the revenue want to move from its present column. position. It appears that the federation. “I think they’re willing to has given in to the cries of math admit that it’s changing and they society president Bob Beggs. need the change.

ger and put back the expansion of the station for a year at least. Council discussed the proposal and after quibbling over the motion that liquidated radio waterloo last week, decided to rescind the previous motion. Further discussion on the conflicting budgets submitted by ‘Dale and radio Waterloo resulted in the budget being tabled for a hour. After a short time, an amended budget of 6700 dollars was accepted. Appointments to senate as student representatives included Mel Rotman, Linda Chown, Peter Warrian, Tony Wyatt, George Green and Pete Padbury. Several council members volunteered to sit on the six council standing committees. While no amendments could be passed on the 1971-72 budget, a second ‘reading and . questions were in order. Treasurer, Tony Wyatt explained the standing federation policy regarding second budget readings and proceeded. to examine the budget, item by item. The budget was cut in certain areas to make money available f,or radio Waterloo and an extra 5000 dollars for society activities over the initial budget. . The subsidies for the four major weekends were cut 1500 -dollars and the pub item was reduced 2800 dollars forcing pubs to be run on a break-even basis. Subsidy cuts also hit Whiplash for 2000 dollars -aand the abortion fund’s 1000 dollars was switched

“Quebec was. not completely conquered in 1765its conquest continues every day.” This was the message that Stanley Ryerson delivered on friday at a special lecture sponsored by the history society. He went on to attack the english - -Canadian view of confe-‘ deration. He accused U of T historian, Stanley Craighton, of bringing back “the thinking of the Durham report”. The ultimate aim of the english -Canadians is to assimilate Quebec and create a homogeneous, north american english speaking world.

“Technology is man’s latest kick, a real fun fad,” explained R H Thompson to -a small jacket and tie crowd at last monday’s IEEE meeting. The IEEE. is an international organization of electrical, engineers composed of businessmen, faculty, and stu- ’ dents. Regular meetings are held on campus by the student branch. Thompson, president-- of several British Columbia companies and president of region 7 of the IEEE, described the relationship,between technology and man. Basically, he stated, man is a lump of matter formed into a life support system. He is constructed of several energy burners, waste disposal and environmental surveillience subsystems. The interesting part of man however, is his mind and the interesting games he plays with it. “Man started by discovering fire, then he had slaves and now ‘he is playing with technology. ” The main event of the evening was a public speaking contest between

nation of one race over another. He said that Quebec has been forced to deal with Ottawa as a \ colony. Today Quebec has come of age. No more will the english, conservative business power of Montreal be able to help maintain the power of a man like Duplessis. He argued that the former premier of Quebec based his political power on the financial backing of the english. Today the third solitude, that is the poor, frenchCanadian worker is ready to fight for his own liberation. He wants a say in the running and the creation of his nation.

three students. The topic concerned technical reports and the presentations were complete with slides. The subjects of the three papers were “DC regulated power supplies, propogation of electromagnetic waves over water, and a preamplifier for colour television.” The discussion periods following each presentation centered around such burning issues as the true nature of a transitor. Fred Crowley won the first prize of one hundred dollars with his talk on preamplifiers. For those wierd types who go to office parties because they think they are camp, an evening with the IEEE, may prove to be an interesting prospect. Something for them to look forward to might be the lecture later on this month on the “acoustics of stethescopes. ” For the rest of us, however, it is rather sickening experience to watch the present and future manipulators of technology pat themselves on the back for the good job they’re doing.

Fight not so important Despite the sensationalistwriteups in the Toronto newspapers about the Chartrand-Lemieux speeches at UofT, the only real disturbance was the reporters quoting the speakers out of ‘context and missing the significance of what was said. ~ Lemieux pointed out many contradictions in the Quebec judicial -system from the withholding of bail for political prisoners to the hand-choosing of jurors by the crown prosecutors. He also outlined the life of -Rose, talking about his experiences in Quebec factories and his working * successfully as a teacher and counsellor with young people. In responding to a question regarding militancy and the Quebec situation, Chartrand hit on an essential problem in leftist thought. If liberation in Cuba and China took the form of violent revolution, a member of the audience asked, how could the oppressed people of Quebec hope for any meaningful change /

through any other method? Leaders of the working class who fail’ to appreciate this must therefore be traitors to the independence movement, it was argued. To this, Chartrand replied -calmly at first, then gathered force. The situation in Quebec I is different. He said that he respected the revolutions in Cuba and China, but that the people of Quebec are not ready for armed struggle. What is needed now, he felt, is a greater political consciousness among the working class ; more education towards understanding their ’ social and political environment. The Quebecois must prove to themselves whether or not the so-called democratic present system will allow them to meet their needs. Also, the -dynamics of today’s youth should be more readily appreciated by older people in the context of developing freedoms and alternatives. friday

INCE early in i962 that area of l[ndochina known as South Vietnam has been subjected to a’ greater degree’ of systematic destruction than any comparably, sized area of land on the .face of the earth. It is only a little -ouer twice the size of lake superior yet, by 1968, it had been the target for a ’ greater tonnage of bombs than was directed at the entire European and As, ian theatres during World War II. The period 1967-68 alone saw over 4,000 B52 missions, of which some 90 per cent were directed at South Vietnam itself, resulting in a landscape pock-marked with an estimated 3.5 million craters. These craters, each 30 feet deep and 45 feet wide, form ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, render agricultural land difficult to utilize, and may become permanent physical features of \ the country. Due to the bombing whole ‘forests have been reduced to> kindling, while other areas have been reduced to barren desert by military activities. Many species of animals are disappearing from militarily contested areas. Deer, wild boar, monkeys and rare b,ovines such’ as the koupry, gaur and banteng are migrating out of South Viet,naa. Elephants are being shot by both sides as they have been used as pack animals. Only tigers seem to have benefited by learning to associate the sound of gun fire with plentiful supply of dead and wounded human beings. The destruction has recently been extended into Laos, ’ with 900 raids a month, /and Cambodia, -with 1,500 raids a month. However ’ devastating these military activities may be they cannot be compared to the ecological threat posed by - the extensive chemical spray operations. From 1962 until the end of 1970 over 50,000 tons of’ chemicals were applied to nearly 15 per cent of the total area of the country, costing the United States $45 million in 1969 alone. The aim of these operations has ,been two* fold; to prevent ambush and infiltration near areas of strategic importance by killing plant life, and to destroy crops suspected of being used by the national liberation front or the North Vietnam? ese. Population

_ One result of these milita;y activi-, ties can be seen in the change in thepopulation of Saigon. Although the main livelihood of the people is derived from ,agriculture, by early ‘1970 the population of that city had swollen from 250,000 to three million. (approximately 15 per cent of the‘ total population of South Vietnam) who are now heavily dependent on U.S.economic support. Officially these defoliation operations’ ‘are initiated on the request of the local South Vietnamese chief in association with his U.S. advisers. He has to claim that the area is under control of theN:L.F. or North Vietnamese, inform , inhabitants of the I projected operation, ‘offer them the opportunity to change allegiance, make plans to handle any refugees and reimburse his people for any accidental defoliation. After _ passing through various channels, both South Vietnamese’ and American,. the request is finally ac%?epted or rejected by the U.S. ambassador and the commanding general. Detrimental

Unofficially the program is predomjustification being inan tly American, given in termsof American lives saved. In many instances precautions have been neglected even to the extent of failing to warn the occupants of a target area about an impending operation. Although there have been unquestion- able military advantages, long term effects of the defoliation operations are . not fully understood. From information available, however, it is clear that the operations are detrimental to soils, plants, and animals, including humans. The most frequently used chemicals, until mid-1970, were combinations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4D) and 2, 4, 5-thrichlorophenoxyacetic acid’ 72, 4, 5-T). These chemicals act as general defoliants and are directed mainly at the forests and woodlands

Cui7adianizution The Canadian Studies lecture erupted in hot debate monday night following a talk by professor F.K. Hare, former president of UBC. Introduced by academic vice-president Howard Petch, Hare’s list of accomplishments covers a twenty-five year academic career mostly in Canada, (partly in Britain) and includes positions at almost every level of power that university life affords. He was born in Britain and did his undergraduate work there. Although Hare declared himself in favour of some s.ort of Canadianization of the universities, he threw in a lot of “ifs” and “buts” and very few “cans” and “do’s”. . When many of his statements are shot down during the debate .he tended to agree with the debater rather than defend his position, and was accused of waffling on the whole, issue. The statements he was hotly disputed on were: l “Nationalism is at best absurd, at worst despicable. ” 0 “Over the years the universities have followed a policy of hiring the best man for the job.” 0 “Massive university expansion forced massive faculty importation. ” -0 “Irish, Scats, and French Canadian nationalism are fine because these are the nationalism of minorities. Canadian nationalism is another matter. l Curriculam should be as Canadian as expedient. l Canadianization should not in any way be an issue in say mathematics, because there is no Canadian mathematics. His statement that “over the years the universities have followed a policy of hiring the best man for the job” and “massive university expansion that forced massive faculty importation was shot down by professor Les Armour of philosophy. Armour’s answer was “in those years Canadians being educated abroad found that upon getting their PhD’s they couldn’t get back to Can-

Professor F.K. Hare former UBC president speaks to Canadian studies group last monday night. He stressed hiring Canadians. ada because Canadian universities wouldn’t hire them. ” Armour added, “my own philosophy department here has 20 people in it, only two of which are Canadian. Yet over the last ten years 35 Canadians applied and none was hired. Sociology professor David Kirk then put forth the idea that “alma materism” was perhaps the cause for this, “people choose people from their own background, Michigan pushes Michigan ’ ’ . Just about this time Petch jumped into the melee by accusing Armour of political complicity in the Americanization of Philosophy because Armour was Chairman in 1965. Armour’s reply that he was never chairman of philosophy, but was acting chairman for one year (1965) and had no real authority over hiring which was handled by a hiring committee consisting of two Americans, was brushed off as nonsense by Petch.

Armour added, that at the time he had. no idea that the Americans would act in such bad faith by filling the department with fellow Americans in the face of many qualified Canadian applicants. One of the applicants WBS our well known Canadian philosopher George Grant who, unfortunately, was largely unknown to the Americans in our philosophy department. Now that Philosophy is looking for senior Canadians he will no doubt be offired a position!

Sociology professor Ron Lambert then launched an attack on Armour, couched in the obscurities of psychological jargon, to the general effect that Armour’s (who is leaving Waterloo to be chairman of Philosophy at Cleveland) move to Cleveland was sheer status seeking. Armour was defended by- philosophy graduateBetty Trott who replied, “even a second-rate factory psychol. ogist knows that one cannot be productive in a hostile environment. ”

Hare was also taken to task for his statement that curriculum should be as Canadian as is expedient, bv a student from Urban studies who complained of what he took to -be a lackof genuine interest in Canadian cities by his British professor. This student was becoming so exasperated by his foreign professors that foreign accents are now turning him right off. This led to shouts of racism which in turn led to the repudiation of Hare’s statement that nationalism on the part of minority groups he can accept but Canadian nationalism is another matter. David Kirk defended nationalism as -a tool for the preservation of a people, likening the issue to Israel and the Jews. Remarking on the difficulties he encountered when trying to find information on Canadian philosophers, Armour asked Hare, “By your own account of the matter, you have held every kind of academic position from university professor to president of a large university. You must know, then, how we got this way. What have people like you been doing for the last twenty-five years.” No answer was put forward, and finally Mathematics professor Jerry Malzan put to Hare the proposition that citizenship as a criterion in hiring, might be legitimate even in the “universal” areas, such as mathematics and Physics, because other countries protect their own, and Canadians have very few places to go. Dr. Hare agreed that countries such as the United States, Britain, France and Germany are staffed with their own nationals almost exclusively, and a good case might be made for giving Canadians some preference in hiring at Canadian universities. When all the dust had settled, ’ it seemed clear that the issue of the take over of Canadian universities is going to remain a very hot one for the foreseeable future.

findings

The results show that beyond purely commercial affairs, the building is used by students -very few faculty ever visit it. The students who use the center frequently or occasionally feel that it provides them with a sense of community and with a place to interact with other students. They find the center a “pleasant place in which to linger. ’ ’ Although 80 percent of the respondent students felt the present building could meet their ends, only 64 percent felt that it did. Less than 42 percent of the total sample felt the center was meeting their needs, but again, 80 percent felt it could. Also, the students clearly want to have the building open all night at all times though only a few (16 percent) were in favor of extending principle to the general public ; 58 percent leaned towards 24-hour opening ’ for special events only.

Of the 1,184 students whose responses were used, 35 percent lived on campus; 64 percent off campus. 36 percent ‘of the students who replied use the center frequently or occassionally . Further, 90 percent of all respondents lived within 30 minutes of campus, 20 percent are married and 75 percent are regular students.- 48 percent of the student respondents owned or had access to cars. The data was broken down into facilities used or activities engaged in while in the building : meal-cafeteria, sac lunch, meet with people, campus pubs, meetings, games lounge, reading room, television lounge, music lounge, basement mall, play cards, relaxation, rap room, work in building, passing through, and other. Most used the basement mall, others used the first six items predominantly. In response to user’s behavior, no significant findings were evident. Students generally rated current behavior than did faculty or staff. The report’s final conclusion reads : “The only consistant response pattern revolves around the issues of atmosphere and ‘real interest’. One can only conjecture how to induce greater utilization-certainly an altered atmosphere might help, but reasons must be created to draw people to the center.”

An open letter on faculty

WHOLE FOODS

The faculty association of the university of Waterloo is in an ambiguous position in its recent series of disputes with the administration. This ambiguity was quite apparent at the recent annual meeting (29 march). On the one hand, there seemed to be a widespread feeling that “meaningful participation” in academic decision-making is the crucial issue, the one that at least had professor Ford writing “withdrawal of services” on the blackboard. (He meant strike, but is understandably reticent.) On the other hand, there was a great deal of concern over the salary issue-a 3.2 percent difference between the administration (8.0 percent) and the association (11.2 percent). Many people seemed to fear that this issue would cause many both within and outside the university to harbor dark thoughts about mendacious and materialistic professors.

In the above-mentioned meeting, professor Ford stood before us and said we had two choicesarbitration. or withdrawal of services. And, he continued dramatically, if we did not stand together behind one of those two, we would get... CHAOS! ! There were, he said, no alternatives. Later in the meeting, another challenge went out for alternatives; again none were offered. Are we really that lacking in creativity and originality? If so, where do we find the gall to pass ourselves off as capable of planning and teaching and grading courses which must prepare people for an era of unprecedented change and upheaval, where the search for alternatives will be both con’ stant and crucial? Might it not be possible that there are alternatives, that we might be able to reconcile the ambiguity noted above? Might it not be. possible to make crystal-clear our determination to fight and win on the issue of participation, and to make a meaningful and powerful statement on the monetary issue at the same time? One suggestion would take the following form: we could say to the administration, “OK, we’re at an impasse. Our primary concern, expressed over and over, is to gain real participation in the decision-making process. To show you how serious we are about those issues, we will remove the secondary salary issue from consideration. We’ll accept your 8.0 percent increase for next year. We’ll take the 3.8 percent

the issue?

On the first point, it is difficult to understand how the issue has arisen, or at least how it has reached its present state. Of course faculty have a right - and a duty - to participate in the making of those decisions which affect them directly and personally. The same can be said for the poor, Indians, Quebecois, blacks, and even (God forbid) students. But bureaucracies will always usurp powers and privileges when others are incapable of protecting, or are unwilling to protect, their prerogatives. It is time, then, for the faculty of this university to make their presence felt on this issue, and to do so in as non-defensive a manner as possible. ’ On the second point, I must confess that I have not been .impressed by the backbreaking poverty of my colleagues. Indeed, most of us could be described as “getting along rather well. ” In an economy characterized by inflation and unemployment, (The number of unemployed in Kitchener is uncomfortably high and although not necessarily among the highest in Canada, it is rising at a than rate somewhat greater our surrounding communities.. .” K-W Record, 29 march, 1971.) it must arouse the ire of many to see us carry on about money. ‘According to DBS (1961), 73.3 percent of Canadian families earn less than 6,ooO dollars yearly, while 94.6 percent earn less than 10,006 dollars. The median salary on this campus is probably close to 15,000 dollars. Asking for larger and larger raises, then, puts us in a less than powerful bargaining position, whether your view is in terms of morality or of public relations. Moreover, it leads the cynical, to dismiss the participation issue as so much rhetoric, as window-dressing for a group of professionals seemingly bent on emulating the medical profession-whose philosophy seems to be to pull everything they can for themselves. What can we really expect the tax-paying clerk or assembly-line worker, the student on loans, the seasonally - unemployed construction’ worker, the welfare recipient, to think of our ,dedication to the

salaries scale, and we’11 take the other 4.0 percent and use it to set up a fund to aid both graduate and undergraduate students at this university. So much for money. Now let’s sit down and talk seriously about budgetary disclosure, more money for more faculty, and so on. (My personal preference would be. to first use the money as outlined above, and then to 1 explore other worthwhile possibilities such as aid to camp Columbia, Frontier college, the young adult program (recently axed by unsympathetic overseers), and so on. ) The proposed fund could be as high as 409,000 dollars and should make very great differences to students caught in the cutback in POGF’s, stricter enforcement of undergraduate loan regulations, a miserable summer employment situation. We would lose some money individually, ~but we keep saying that doesn’t matter to us, and we could probably swing some sort of tax dodge in order to minimize that loss. And we would be making, not a gesture, but a real statement of our concern and comittment, both to the administration and to the corn-munity at large. It would not be inappropriate to expect the administration to match any amount so raised. (Since it may be expected that some faculty members may not approve of this proposal, we might suggest that it be set up on an opt- . out basis. There is precedent for such a move.)

After, weeks of unabated and relentless pressure from antipollution and ecology groups on and off campus, the university administration has finally consented to a massive tree planting scheme for the roads surrounding the university. The scheme is being implemented in co-oper-’ ation with the city of Waterloo’s public works department and entails doing no repairs on the roads because they will be destroyed by the spring thaw. Small shrubs will be planted in the holes conveniently created and the labour for planting the trees will be made possible through a summer youth employment scheme originated by the uniwat administration.

Goodtimes/Badtimes James Kirkwood Fawcett Crest paperbacks 95 cents

These days a best-seller consists of a story of Isex and passion and “good living” accentuated by a fe-w choice four-letter words. Without these basics, no book gets past the publisher’s desk. Occasionally, however, a .novel will . some aevious m manage by means to get itself in print without the trashy plots and lack of purpose so characteristic of today’s bestsellers. When this happens everyone shouuld rush right out and buy a copy. (It’s practically assured the book will never find its way into the Dana Porter literary museum and curio shoppe. ) Unfortunately, few people ever splurge 95 cents on a novel. Good Times/ Bad Times although an outstanding novel, will therefore probably end up rotting away on the shelves of the bookstore. Throughout this novel author Kirdwood demonstrates his mastery both of style and content. He captures his characters in their own style naturally, avoiding the common pitfall of stilted phrases and affected dialogue. When Peter Kilburn shows up for his first days at Gilford he is less than overwhelmed. The school is suffering from a recent loss of prestige, and it’s reflected in the students. For the most parttthey are a motley lot, happy to go about the mediocre lives as contented sheep. (The parallel bed tween these fictitious students and real students is more than coincidence. ) Good

pressive for its candid treatment of prep school education. The teaching staff seems to have nothing better to do than establish a facade of superiority for themselves and the school, and ‘the students are mostly too busy accepting this authoritarianism to question it. The school heirarchy is more interested in appearances than in quality of education. In short, the situation typifies prep schools.

Peter Kilburn attempts to make the best of the situation, but he soon runs afoul of the headmaster. This meeting serves only as a warning of the frustrations and trials to come. With the introduction of Jordon, life at Gilford takes on vast new dimensions. The headmaster neither impresses nor frightens him, and he accepts his surroundings with dignity but disinterest. His sarcasm simuitaneously reflects his freedom of spirit and his cynicism, and his aplomb has a shocking effect upon everyone in the school. A strong friendship soon developes between Kilbum and Jordan. When the headmaster tries to destroy this friendship there ensues a ‘ ‘ rebellion ’ ’ against. the childishness that holds the in-

stitute together. This is all very well for making Good Times/Bad Times an entertaining and enjoyable novel, but the real power lies below this surface. The book is not really all that funny. It is sadly realistic, with characters and events cruelly reflective of the institutions our society spawns. In his own way Kirkwood shows what twisted values are formed in young minds by these institutions, establishing not the highly-praised class of brilliant, dedicated students but a slew of dullards. But the saddest blow comes from society on the whole, not from its isolated institutions. Between the lines of this novel are all the cruelities faced in a lifetime-insocial prejudice, and all justice, the harshness of society.

On sunday march 28 the university of Waterloo had the privilege of hosting the national arts centre orchestra, with Mario Bernardi conducting. The entire performance was of a very high calibre and the musicians did a superb job despite their surroundings. The concert began with symphony No. 83 in G minor by Hayden. Next a relatively new piece called evanescence was played. The first half of the concert ended with Mozart’s -Concerto in C minor. Here the solo pianist, Diedre Irons, performed outstandingly. In fact the whole audience was thoroughly captivated by her. In the second half of the concert Frank Martin’s petite symphonie concertante and Prkofiev’s classical symphony, opus 25, was played. At the end of the concert the -audience showed their appreciation for the excellent performance by applauding three curtain calls worth and giving a standing ovation. The several pieces played were representative of various

weaknesses, but for my purpose, one of his greater strengths. For Borges, “words are not only a means of communication, but also magic symbols and music. ’ ’ The - labyrinth is perhaps Borges’ favorite metaphor, since for him life is a labyrinth, reality is symmetrical. His stories at most have two main figures, but more often one. These tales are usually con-

movements in classical music. The pieces were juxtaposed to each other so as to focus on the differences. This form of concert is a refreshing change from the gen-’ era1 run of past concerts put on at this university. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the various types of popular rock concerts. However, a few more concerts of this sort a year would be much appreciated and, judging from the size and response of the audience, it would not be a waste. The only flaw in the concert was the surroundings in which it was performed. The gym is bad for any sort of concert but for classical music it .is disastrous. The sound is lost to the audience somewhere up in the rafters. Even more frustrating than that, both to audience and players, was the timer buzzing every fifteen minutes. A hall with proper acoustic design is a must if concerts of any quality are to be performed here and be fully appreciated by the -audience.

strutted so that an occurence or story from the past is being told or investigated presently. This ‘story within a story’, be it of two brothers loving the same woman and their ultimate loyalty to each other, or of a thieving slave fleeing from his robbed king, evolves and builds to climax in an encounter, often of a violent nature, involving a flashing blade and/or psychic violence, perpetrated by one on another, or by one’s self on one’s self. A subtle interpretation is then offered by Borges under the guise of the man relating the ‘story within the story’. One is never quite clear as to the veracity of these tales: whether they have in fact been told to Borges or whether these stories are simply products of Borges’ imagination along with the accompanying folklore. The fact is they are often both. Around something real, Borges weaves a fine web of legend, and in this process of creating riddles, explores and illustrates the patterns in life. In describing the fight of his fictional characters against their inevitable destiny, Borges indirectly poses questions of a metaphysical quality concerning identity, infinity, and alternative realities. To attempt to even minutely encapsulate one of his stories would only harm and probably insult this man and his works, since his stories demand that form and content should not be considered separately. His subject matter and the style he embroiders around it for delivery to us share similar traits: modest yet powerful, unobtrusive but quietly profound: These characteristics are also peculiar to Borges the man, his personality, his world view. Borges once told the tale of a man, who throughout his lifetime, drew a picture of the universe; at his death+he finished picture traced the lines of his own face: We feel this to be an apt description of Borges himself-a man who is what he does.

Highlighted on this page are the major proposals of the campus center study committee, a body of eight people called together in december to investigate the purposes and operations of our infamous white elephant. What follows on the next two pages is an imaginative proposal one perhaps of many to be considered in the coming months T for the redesign of the campu‘scenter interior to better suit the needs of people who use or who would be inclined to use the building.

rleport oft 7e campus center study committee: “mirturing a sense of c0mmunit.y”

, by Alex

Smith

chevron staff

THE LONG-AWAITED campus center study committee report dealing with the future of what the Toronto Globe and Mail claimed is the “nocturnal mecca of society’s dropouts” has finally been made public. The Z-page report was officially made public by federation president Rick Page and administration president Burt Matthews this morning and strongly recommends the campus center have department status within the university as a way of ensuring the building no longer be ignored. Nullify

agreement

Crucial to department status is the suggestion that the present federationadministration agreement which established the campus center board be nullif ied . A new board with no appointed members would be elected at large from the faculty, staff and student bodies. The chairman of the new board would be considered’ a department chairman and would report to the vice president of personnel and services - a position as yet unfilled by Matthews. , The study committee recommends the new board consider several areas of possible action, including altering present center facilities, constructing new facilities, re#‘ising hours the building should remain open and reconsidering a position for a ‘full-time campus center “manager”.

Extensive

changes

Specifically , the committee’s report suggests : l professional architects be hired to recommend interior design changes in the existing structure, l existing furniture be replaced with more rugged or “boxlike modular units”, l the federation of students and chevron offices be re-located elsewhere on the campus, l the’ cafeteria be extensively redesigned to improve service and extend the present menu, l a permanent campus center board office be located in the building, and l a system of directional signs be established to help people find their way around the building more easily. The report made it clear that the original center design was not satisfactorily meeting the aims set out for the building in “nurturing a sense of community” and &ted some additional facilities should be built immediately to encourage more use of the center by university faculty, staff and students. Such immediate improvements would include a major food services outlet, a general (not courseoriented) paperback book store, a new activities area for billiards, table tennis, bowling, shuffleboard, darts and crafts, a central box-office for all university events, a debating chamber, theater and eventually, perhaps, a concert hall.

Suggests

closing

hours

The report maintains the principle of remaining open 24 hours each day does not facilitate a sense of community at all times, and suggests the new board institute a 2 am closing time, with BP-hour opening reserved for registration and examination periods. The report expresses the opinion of committee members that expanded fa-

,~~---~

cilities will almost certainly require reinstatement of a center “manager” and strives to point out that campus center ‘ ‘turnkeys’ ’ should be given a clear idea , of their role. (In the questionnaire circulated by the study committee, a majority of those responding did not know who or what the “turnkeys” - custodians of the building - were. ) The report deals in a sociological rather than political way with the question of who should and should not be allowed to use the campus center, and leaves the final decision with the recommended “new” campus center board. However, the report said “the committee is in agreement with the recent actions to clear the building of drug pushers and ‘bikers’ but urges the board to strive for concrete statements outlining , behavior which may not be as clear cut as dope dealing or physical violence but which are unacceptable to the campus community . ’ ’

Formed

in deckmber

- The stude committee was formed early in december in response to criticism that the center was being used predominantly by non-university people as a marketplace far drug dealing and sexual activity. Members included Pat Robertson, director of academic services, W.G. Deeks, director of purchasing, staff member R. McIntyre, now federation president Rick Page, graduate engineering student F. Rovers, grad history student Peter Warrian (once campus center board chairman), mathematics student Rena Armstrong and John Nash, assistant kinesiology professor. In a lengthy preamble to its recommenda tions for future use of the building, the study committee decided that the “problem” of the campus center was the nonrealization of three major objectives: l allowing and encouraging students, faculty and staff to interact outside the normal teaching or administrative context, l allowing interaction between nonuniversity and university people except where it interferes with the use of the center by university persons, and l providing space for campus organizations, commercial services and recreational activities. The committee saw sociological factors, lack of proper programming of campus center events and activities, the authority and operational structure of the center, and the building design itself as all contributing to prevent realizing the aims of the center. States the report: “There is a division between those adhere to an older, more traditional

who view

of the university and those who hold to a view of the university which implies an active role to be played by the students in the university and by the university in society. There is also a division based on styles of dress, hair, music and attitudes towards drugs.

Dominating

“youth

culture”

‘Those who have come to use the campus center regularly are more the activist, youth culture adherents than the adherents of the conventional culture. ‘The committee notes the youth culture which tends to dominate the campus center extends beyond the campus. Just as some faculty and staff feel more affinity and loyalty to their discipline or profession than they do to the institution, so many people in the youth culture feel more cornfortable with off campus people of alike mind than they do with some other students. ‘This division becomes a serious problem for the campus center at the point where the center becomes identified with one GUI- ture to the exclusion of all others; where large segments of the campus are inhibited from coming to the building; where the sense of community breaks down.”

The report continues that there has been “the impression of a lack of active commitment on the part of some senior administrators towards the realization of the objectives of the campus center \and indeed, in some cases of an obstructive attitude” which has tended to turn the campus center into a “battleground rather than a place for creative interaction among the various groups on campus.”

itself and insufficiently about what was going to be happening in it.” l the operation of the center suffers from lack of visible authority - partially due to the lack of campus center stat-/ us within the “university structure”. The committee says this has allowed other individuals and departments to (someignore the center “with impunity, thing) not possible with other departments in the university. ” l the great hall is an intimidating area. “The great hall must carry the traffic flow from one side of the building to the other. Whatever dominates the great hall dominates the whole building.” l the ‘ ‘secluded alcoves”, originally intended for intimate conversational groupings are also suitable for “sleeping, dealing in dope, trafficking in stolen goods and for intimacy of a different kind. ” 0 “The lounges are inaccessable. There is a psychological impediment to entering them. A number of comments have been made which indicate many users of the building do not even know the lounges are there.” l there is a lack of recreational activity area. l the cafeteria facilities are bad in layout and size.

l furniture is inappropriate. “The pub...was furnished as a senior lounge, possibly even a faculty club. It was not. intended for the hard wear that frequent pub nights give it.” l commercial activity such as the bank occupy too much space that otherwise could have been used for other activity. 0 ‘ ‘The inadequate original f inancing made necessary cutbacks in the projetted building. In many respects we have only a partial campus center.” The study committee report sums recommendations this way: UP its

“We recommend changes in facilities and organization so no one group can be seen as dominating the center (the great hall is at issue here); we have recommended a clear disassociation between the federation of students and the campus center, ’ not only in the composition of the new board, but in the physical relocation of the federation and the chevron offices elsewhere on campus. We recommend additional facilities to encourage the use of the building by a wider segment of the campus community. *’

The committee outlined three’ steps for implementation of its proposals; wide publication of the report, comment on the report from specifically the facfederation of students, ulty councils, faculty association student societies, and staff association, and finally, implementation of measures, by administration president Burt Matthews “through whatever agencies he normally uses.”

2,600

questionnaires

’

The study committee - which held _L regular 2-hour meetings twice weekly from january through mid-march ‘sent out 2,600 campus center question-, naires (and received 1,430 replies), intervi'wed nine Persons formally and held an open hearing which was attended by about 50 students, staff and faculty. Included with the report is an appendix which lists comments from a “student union director” solicited before the present center was built. The director enumerates 19 critical opinions of the center’s design as it was proposed and finally accepted and concludes with the fo!!owing statement’ . . . I see a desperate need for a professional consultant to review these plans and the general needs of the university of Waterloo before you are corn- _ .mitted to a several million dollar expenditure in the present form, I believe iswhich, unworkable . “It’ would undoubtedly cost the university a substantial sum of money. . -but this investment is small by comparison with the undesirable condition of having a several million dollar building which is not as functional as it could be.” Those words, written in 1966, were ignored by the administration after it had similarly sidestepped vital student recommendations coneming the building’s design and function. . We have been paying for that blunder over the course of two years, and obviously by the study committee’s report, we will be paying even more in the near future.

Technical

UST ONE OF WHAT will surely be many suggestions for the redesign of the campus center interior, the design above (while dealing only with the mair floor) is, according to its proposers, a “;;erceptual” design. The branch plant, a group (you might eventually say consortium) of fourth-year planners who created this preliminary proposal contend that upon entering the building, a person is restricted from crossing the great hall and is “invited” into a low ceiling, carpeted area which can lead either directly to secluded lounges or to a leisurely and circuitous route around the building’s perimeter. They say any eventual redesign of the center must offer users the “experience” of actually having to go into areas when the environment forces them to become a part of one section or another. Their concept can be explained a’ little more fully .by examining the numbered sections on the diagram: Section 1. Two factors are important here. First, the present walls separating the great hall alcoves from the downstairs lounges are removed entirely. The alcoves then cease to become ghettos.

sloping stairs-also Second, broad, carpeted-lead from the alcoves into the lounges. The stairs are very low-rise and act as seating; they become part of the lounge, not just a vehicle to reach it. Section 2. The great hall furniture is removed and replaced with modular furniture, easily moveable. The center of the great hall would contain a padded, free-form sculpture to break the bareness of the hall and restrict use of the hall as a diagonal thoroughfare. Section 3. Music would continue to be brought into the center, but the great hall speakers would be removed in favor of smaller speakers in the inner lounges. Section 4. In all or some of the inner lounges, a balcony on the same floor level as the present alcove would extend into the inner lounge beside the sloping stairs. Besides being an intimate extension overlooking the lounge and large windows, such a balcony creates natural, small divisions beyond it to the windows on the lower level, and on that same level, an area centered inward towards the fireplace.

Section 5. An area which is presently a vast, unused laneway from the center entrance closest to the computer building to the over-crowded coffee shop becomes a segregated and quiet games lounge. Branch plant notes that the present laneway is duplicated on a half-level lower and that provided extra games room is made available elsewhere, the proposed segregated room remain a type of thoroughfare.

It was their intent to restrict the use of the existing coffee shop by stemming the flood of lunch-time computer science, mathematics and engineering people from the north entrance of the building directly to‘ the coffee shop. The coffee shop, they felt, should forsake the role thrust upon of being a full-fledged cafeteria and revert to being a quiet, unexposed place for light snacks. This suggestion seems to contradict the recommendation of the center study committee. Section 6. Upon entering the building, a student would face directional arrows inviting him to a position where he could choose between: l passing through the alcoves on a rou-

te around the building or to another point in the building, @pausing and entering the great hall area, or opausing and entering an inner lounge. Preventing a person from entering directly into the high-ceiling, open great hall and more or less forcing him (for a time, at least) into an area with a low ceiling and dim lighting ostensibly will slow down traffic and direct people more into the small group and conversational areas without segregating them, as is now the case. The whole question of the campus center design and how it is perceived by people entering the building is a topic for those who really enjoy studying behavior settings and the “new” ventures into “ecological” psychology. Hopefully, proposals will not get lost in polemics or textbook excursions into fanciful sociological theories about what consitutes “meaningful” or “viable” interaction in such a setting. The above proposal is definitely not to be portrayed as utopian, but surely it represents a good start to solving a concrete design problem.--/acs

by Moshe

Safdie

The following story from Canadian archictect Moshe Safdie’s book Beyond Habitat describes his experience with San Fransisco state college in 1967. Safdie was helping students there to build a radically creative student center. Thousands of people in the community wanted the building, but a handful of university trustees didn’t . . . and then came the riot police.

;‘I

SPOKE OF MORPHOLOGY; of the design process, of the need to be unarbitrary, of spaces that could be randomly changed to meet changing needs, and I spoke of the vernacular, of. the idea of a village made with discipline yet infinite variety. Of even greater significance was the question of the relationship of the building to the people coming into it. Watching the students at lunch time as they approached the existing cafeteria gave me an indication of what would happen once the union replaced it. Literally thousands of students approached the building from all directions simultaneously. Then, one day, as I digested these observations, there emerged the concept that the building should allow people approaching it from any direction to just walk up the walls. You should come toward it and simply climb up or down its exterior surface until you reached the restaurants, meeting rooms, or offices. You should be able to move from one area to another outside as well as inside the building. Thus the building evolved with an outside surface that was a series of steps, terraces, and inclined planes covered with planting.

Change

in expression

You could not ignore the environment, you could not turn your back on the existing campus, you could not build a structure that would ridicule it, and yet it was the expression of another culture, of another life style and another set of values. As Doug Shad- bolt put it, when I told him of this: “When there is social change you must expect that there will be a change in architectural expression. ” As designed, it is a complex building with an intricate variety of spaces, small rooms, medium-sized rooms, and very big rooms. There are offices that measure ten by fifteen, private work areas, bookstore, dining halls, a theater, meeting rooms to seat twenty, fifty, a hundred, or seven hundred people. The biggest room is a hundred by a hundred feet of column-free-space-hundred times bigger than the smallest room. This quality of setting the generic qualities through the “space-maker” extended itself to every aspect of the building: its form made a stair and terraces on the out-. side surface; it made a place for planting; in combination it formed not only efficient space structures but also a network for the distribution, of mechanical services and a repetitive heating-cooling system; it formed continuous hollow vertical spaces for shafts containing escape stairs, elevators, and other services. We all looked forward to seeing the build- ~ ing go up. But then we started to run into problems with the chancellor’s office. They resented the decision to include a new dining facility and demolish the existing cafeteria. They questioned our decision to in-corporate the book store. They asked how such a design could be accurately priced. L They considered the building too “far out.”

Canadian architect Moshe Safdie 3 ‘Spacemaker” concept became the symbol of administration control over students at San Fransisco state college in I968. I met the chief architect, Harry Harmon, and went over the plans with him. He himself was amiable, but I had the feeling that there was some nervousness about the building. The trustees had to approve the schematic design, but for months we couldn’t get it on their agenda. The students had prepared their own brochure which they submitted to the trustees. In concluding their report they stated: “By virtue of its setting, by virtue of its uses, and by virtue of the ideals to which we are committed, the building should be designed in an idiom distinctly its own. Such an idiom should be a confident, even powerful language of form, and a language which would translate easily back and forth with the present buildings on the campus. We see the design as an intelligible architectural concept. The architecture is based upon a conviction about methodology and process and within its own parameters of forms, of enginee,ring, and of visible and articulate harmonies this design will be judged. ”

Design

incompatible?

The formal presentation to the trustees took place in Los Angeles on one of the state college campuses. I presented the building, again only after insisting that I should, but this time there were formal presentations against the building by the chief architect of the chancellor’s office and the state architect from Sacramento. They felt the design was incompatible; technically unresolved. The college president, Robert Smith, made an emotional plea for the building, and the president of the associated students also presented his case. Some amazing comments were heard around the room that day. One trustee commented: “How are you going to get the snipers out of that building? ” All this was happening simultaneously with other conflicts on the campus. Another confrontation was taking place between the college and students on one hand and the trustees on the other. George Murray, a part-time teacher who was also a member of the Black Panthers, was giving militant speeches, around San Francisco. The agenda that day included the Murray issue together with the building issue. I think the building was viewed by many as an expression of the independent spirit of San Francisco state. I don’t think the building was being judged just as a building, or as a design; it became, as the magazine Revolution later stated, “an important symbol.” The building was rejected five to two. I came to the conclusion that the only way to deal with this situation was to get a contractor to make a guaranteeded bid on the basis of more detailed drawings.

We did some of the preliminary working drawings, then chose two contractors and asked them to look at the job, not just to make estimates, but actually to be repared to sign a negotiated contract. H. cp. Beck, one of the larger U.S. contractors, came up with a price that was within the budget, just over five million dollars, and were willing to sign a contract immediately. We got formal letters from many of the sub-trades ; from window manufacturers to the maintenance people who clean windows from waterproofing people to mechanical suppliers, each saying something to the effect:

Technically

0 K

“Yes, we have examined the drawings and it is technically all right.” The whole campus became extremely involved with the building and by the time we went back to the trustees, six thousand student signatures had been collected, requesting that the building be approved. The faculty senate unanimously voted support of the building. San Francisco state college has an advisory committee of distinguished members of the community and it unanimously voted support for the building and asked that it should be approved. Mayor Alioto sent a telegram saying the building was good for San Francisco state and good for San Francisco. To my great delight, the architectural profession turned out in support of the building. Telegrams were sent by over twenty members of the faculty of the Berkeley department of architecture and planning, urging that it be approved. The american institute of architects, San Francisco chapter, circulated a petition and obtained many signatures including that of the president of the chapter. The San Francisco museum of fine arts held an exhibit of the building. There was overwhelming public support. And we had the estimate from the contractor who was prepared to sign a contract, and we had a very comprehensive technical report. The crucial trustees’ meeting took place in Fresno this time. It would have made a good movie. The committee that had to approve buildings consisted of eight members of the board of trustees. The chancellor’s chief architect and the state architect opened an attack on the building. This time there were (surprise! ) new objections. The chancellor’s chief architect had measured the areas of the building. Since the structure consisted of bents with inclined walls, there were areas which had no headroom. We had considered this fact by omitting these areas in the effective cost tabulations. But, by playing around with these numbers Harmon tried to show that this was really a very expensive building:1 corrected the record and showed that his figures were distorted, and that turned into a lengthy discussion which became quite heated at times.

It came time to vote. The motion was that building should be rejected. Four members said “No,” it ought not to be rejected; three members said “Yes,” it ought to be rejected. The chairman added his vote to the “Yeas,” making it a tie. It was then transferred for decision to the entire board of trustees. Sixteen of them were present at that meeting in the afternoon. A score of supporting telegrams were read by the chairman, and then the motion: that the building be approved. The vote was eight in favor, seven against. The chairman then exercised his prerogative and cast his vote no, to make it a tie. For the second time that day the building was not approved. Still later that day the trustees ordered president Smith to fire Murray, the Black Panther lecturer. There was complete insurrection on the campus, a strike of students followed by a strike of the faculty. Rejection of the building was a factor in it. Shortly thereafter -Smith resigned. All of this took place in november 1968.

Then they’re

surprised

For several months the campus was totally disabled, hardly functioning. Dr. S. I. Hayakawa was appointed acting president, but had little if any contact with the students. I relived some of these experiences again several weeks after the trustees ordered President Smith to fire Murray and rejected the union design. At that time the campus erupted with demonstrations and strikes. On this occasion I arrived to find thousands of students on the campus green, marching with placards and chanting. There was, so far as I could see, no violence. The famous San Francisco riot police surrounded the campus, and suddenly there was silence. From four different directions approached, at double pace, phalanxes of riot police, ten abreast, blue uniformed, helmeted with acrylic guards across their faces, arms holding riot sticks horizontally across their chests. Each phalanx was led by two officers carrying what looked like a laser machine gun; actually, it was a weapon for tear gas. Beating and fighting began. A group of us stood by the site for the college union and watched until waves of fearfilled students, withdrawing before the police, forced us to move away. Looking back I find it incredible that fifteen thousand students who were prepared to pay for their own building, and who had support from the president, the faculty senate, the advisory committee, and some of the most respected members of the architectural profession in San Francisco, could be frustrated by sixteen trustees who meet once a month to run eighteen colleges. This

was a project that surged on the constructive energies of students over a period of five years-a campus effort to get a building built with their own money. If the building had gone ahead at that point, it would have involved the whole campus, had everyone working together creatively. We were going to buy looms and all the textiles in the building were to be worn by the students. Students were going to become involved in planting the building in collaboration with the department of botany. Stu-dents were going to make the furniture, and make the graphics, all kinds of things. So what do the trustees do? They say “No.” And then they’re surprised when the campus blows up.

Kent State bystanderby Haynes Johnson Washington

Post/L A

Times

OPA-LOCKA, Fla. When Mary Vecchio came home from Kent State last spring in her flowered miniskirt ‘and sandals held together by tape, she broke down and cried. “I’m so glad to be home,” she said, as she embraced her father. It was “the most wonderful thing. ” The scene of that tearful airport reunion-Mary, the gangling big eyed girl with the long dark hair, angular face, and high cheekbones, surrounded by her emotional family, brothers, sisters, mother, father - was recorded by an army of newspaper television photographers and cameramen. The happy ending to an american tragedy. Mary Vecchio, the “mystery co-ed” whose look of horror as she knelt over a slain student had been captured by a photographer to become a symbol- of national protest, was home. She wasn’t even a co-ed, it turned out. Just a 14year-old who had run away from home and turned up, by chance, on the Kent State campus the day the guardsmen fired into the crowd of students, killing four of them. Her parents had seen that picture and identified her. Now, at the airport, it was over. A week ago last thursday, Mary Vecchio, now 15, was committed for a six-month period to a juvenile home south of Miami. She had run away again. Ruined

her

The Kent State aftermath her lawyer says, “has ruined her. You can’t put that kind of load on a lCyear-old girl and expect her to take it. And if you want to be sociological about it, the family unit for all practical purposes has been destroyed. ” He was referring to the climate at home to which Mary returned: Parents who refused to let their children see Mary; the insults in the community; the attitude of the high school principal who initially suspended her ( “The youngsters didn’t want to have anything to do with her - and I was proud of them,” he says) ; The policemen who harassed her -parents and lawyer r. Mary, contend, picking her up four times on charges ranging from loitering to sniffing transmission fluid (none of the charges stood up in court - Mary has never been convicted of a crime) ; the restrictions imnosed by the youth curfew ordinance of Opa-Lo&a coupled with the restrictions of _ her own parents; The exploiters who manufactured and sold T-shirts and 6-foot posters showing Mary kneeling over the dead student’s body, all without the Vecchios permission ; the monthly proceedings before the juvenile judge because Mary had been placed on probation after she ran away; The transfer to a new school, she encountered new where problems because of her notoriety; the testimony she had to give before the Kent State grand and the FBI - and the jury state’s attorney; the charges by the then-governor of Florida, Claude Kirk, made over statewide television, implying, that Mary was part of a communist plot; and the torrent of mail 1obscene, abusive, vicious hate mail - that poured into the

Vecchio household from throughout america. Perhaps above all, it was the attitude of people that made Mary Vecchio a symbol of all american problems of wayward youth, student protests, violence, “anti-americanism.” The

letters

In a sense, she has become the fifth victim of Kent State. The letters alone were enough to leave lasting scars. Mary’s mother, Claire, a heavy-set woman with coal black hair and dark eyes, keeps them in a box in her bedroom. It showed pictures of the four slain students, along with one of Mary. Her face had been X-ed out in red ink. Across the top was written: It’s too bad you weren’t shot. Mrs. Vecchio shook her -head and said: “Can you imagine her looking at that?” . “Some young people here know what she is - a dirty, foul, syphillitic whore. If she is ever seen in Ohio again she will be shot. ” 1 One from Pleasantville, N. Y., began “Dear Mary Ann” the way she was identified in the press, although her parents call her “Mary,” and said: ‘ ‘You hippie communist bitch ! “Did you enjoy sleeping with all those dope fiends and Negroes when you were in Ohio? The deaths of the Kent State four are, on the conscience of yourself and other rabble rousers like you. “Congratulations.” The Vecchios themselves received threatening letters. “even I got letters saying they were going to get me for raising such a radical into the world,” Mrs. was one Vecchio says. “There letter that said they were going to come here and abolish the whole family, like the Sharon Tate thing. The FBI still has -that one.” Mary, she says, has now changed completely. “She was the happiest child, the friendliest person you ever saw,” her mother said. “When she smiled she made you happy. They said in her school it was like the sunshine coming in. And that laugh! When you heard that laugh, you had to laugh. “But Mary is so different now. She is so nervous. She can’t even talk about it. And they’re still calling her a communist. Even her relatives say they’re ashamed of her.” Others who know Mary well see different aspects of change. Her father, Frank, a 49-year-old maintenance man for the Dade County Port Authority, says: “Mary don’t care for nothing in the world. Nothing. Years, ago, she had love for life, love for her family, love for the _ baby.1 But now she doesn’t have anything to live for. She’s not the same girl. Nowhere the same.” Lawyer’s

view

Phillip Vitello, a Coral Gables lawyer who represents Mary, describes Mary in different “The story’s even worse terms. than it seems,” he says. “It’s affected her mind to a tremendous degree. She’s become more withdrawn. She refuses to relate to anybody. Now, she won’t even talk to me or to her parents or to the judge.” None of this is to suggest that

He describes what happened this way: “When she came back, the youngsters did not accept her. She was very unhappy at our school. She was a truant. She was a disciplinary problem. She used profanity.

I tried to make her a better girl. She kept misbehaving and I punished her - and I would do it again. The influence she could have on the other students wasn’t good.

You woke up this morning and finally had it clear in your mind that efforts to reform existing society are hopeless. You hopped out of the sack and hurried over to tell your friend that you’ve decided to join the Anarcho-Leninist Liberal Christian Radical Action Party and help create a new society. - At that point you’ve already made two mistakes. Perhaps more. First, you got out of bed. If you knew now what you’ll know by the time you’ve read this, you’d just turn over and let your churning mind get clouded up and blissful again. Second, you picked the. wrong group to join. Granted that the Anarcho-Leninist Liberal Christian Radical Action Party is the largest and most active group on the left today, but what you, as a native beginner, don’t know is that the party’s grant from the hemlock foundation has run out. Its leaders have also run out - with the remainder of the treasury. But, don’t despair. There’s still the Gay Black Trotskyite Maoist Liberation League! It’s smaller,

NW for-pot, SAINT JOHN (CUP) - Thirty delegates at a provincial NDP policy conference voted over the weekend to support the legalization of marijuana and called for its sale in government-operated stores. The resolution said sections of the narcotics control act affecting marijuana should be repealed and that grass should be made “publicly available through government outlets, at standard prices. ”

of course, but very militant and growing rapidly. At one time, as you might recall, you had to be odd, beautiful and very dedicated to join this group, but today they’ll take anybody. Some of the more serious leftist groups have not lowered their membership standards in this way. Take the Socialist Weatherchild Working Class Mobilization Against Fascism, for example. Unless you are a graduate of Vasser or Harvard, have a mother who’s in the Social Register and a father with a Dun & Brad rating, forget it. Well, that’s not quite true. They’ll overlook some of the formal requirements if one of your best friends happens to be an oppressed Black worker - or, two white workers and a young mother on relief. There ‘are many other groups on the left to choose from, and some are quite specialized. Consider, as a case in point, The Clergy and Businessmen United for the Non-Violent Overthrow of the Government Commune. With the help of a group of radical nuns, a sexy young movie starlet and three OEO lawyers, they recently initiated a farreaching class-action law suit. If, upheld in the Appeals Court, a few years hence, their suit will enable slum tenants to pay rent by credit card in even-numbered months. Oh, wait, there’s something we forgot to tell you. Remember how in the beginning of this you hopped out of bed and told your friend about your radical plans? Well, it turns out that he was not your friend at all.

chevron staff This article is being reprinted from last year’s chevron to point out certain fallacies in the iron ring ceremony.

The graduating engineers of Uniwat receive their iron rings at an annual ceremony conducted in the modern languages theater by the wardens of camp fifteen. The ritual was first conceived nearly fifty years ago by Canadian engineers and has been copywritten as a strictly Canadian phenomenon. The writing of the ‘script’ for the ceremony was commissioned to Rudyard Kipling-- probably the greatest proponent of Imperialist aggression in the poetic community - and the scenario was first performed at the university of Toronto. The engineering recipients of the Ring stand beside an endless loop of chain (cold iron) during the preliminaries, which involve a ‘few introductory comments and then the striking of the anvil-symbolizing steel, stone, and time. Following a reading from the fourth book of Azrad the represen-e tative of the graduating engineers asks for leave to speak to the camp. He is then questioned by the person officiating: “What do you know?” “Only that we know nothing. ” “Are you familiar with the strength of materials? ” “More or less.” “Ana have you witnessed the ultimate breaking strain? ” “No. Thank God! ” “Thank God! ” The camp warden, having thus assured himself that the engineers participating are sincere in their desire to join the camp, commands-“ Lay hand on ‘cold iron ! ” The’ prospective recipients of the rings then grasp the chain at their feet and recite the obligation. 7, Joho Burns, in the presence of these my betters and my equals in my calling, bind myself upon my honor and cold iron, that to the best of my knowledge and power, I will not henceforward suffer or pass, or be privy to the passing of, bad workmanship or faulty material in aught that concerns my works before men as an engineer, or in my dealings with my own soul before my maker. “My time I will not refuse; my thought I will not grudge; my care I will not deny towards the honor, use, stability and perfection of any works to which I may be called to _ set my hand.

of the iron ring ‘*My fair wages for that work I will openly take. My reputation in my calling I will honorably guard; but I will in no way go about to compass or wrest judgement or gratification from any one with whom I may deal. And further, I will early and warily strive my uttermost against the professional jealousy or the belittling of my working brothers, in any field of their labor. “For my assured failures and derelictions, I ask pardon before and of my betters and my equals in my calling here assembled; praying that in the hour of my temptations, weakness- and weariness, the memory of this my obligation and of the company before whom it was entered into, may-return to me to aid, comfort and restrain.

The assistant wardens then approach the newly obligated engineers and, placing the iron ring on the small finger of the working hand, welcomes each one to the camp with the words, “May good luck be with you all the days you are in my calling, oh my brother! ” The ritual is then ended on a more earthly note by -asking if any business need be brought before the camp. The chief warden’s parting words warn that, although the ceremony is not a secret one, details of the proceedings are not topics for discussion outside the camp. At this point the unsmiling, freshly obligated, engineers file quietly out of the theatre and back to the pub. The outstanding thing about the Kipling ritual is not so much the contrived paganistic atmosphere, or the masonic preoccupation with secrecy, but rather the fact that until this year the whole show was, almost without exception, taken seriously. Such an attitude toward the obligation would be understandable if it meant anything’ and if the organization had any but occult powers over the engineer. However, the one thing that is emphasized before the ceremony is that the obligation is meaningless. It is a promise to try, as opposed to a promise to do, and as such is essentially ignored by all

practising engineers. The only other substantive part of the ceremony is the receipt of the ring. This then, must be the part that has such serious overtones. But the ring is only a status symbol. It is something that an engineer can wear to tell people-he is a professional, and it can be obtained without attending the ceremony. Thus, the real’ motives behind any individual’s attendance is very hard to determine. Enough information is available before the event to assure that the engineers about to attend are aware of the aura of witchcraft surrounding the receipt of the ring. Rationalizations for attendance vary from curiosity to “going for a laugh” to a noncommittal shrug. But the fact remains that nearly everyone goes, and when they get back, talk about what happened is virtually non-existent. This unwillingness to discuss the ceremony can be attributed as much to embarrassment as to the desire to maintain secrecy. * Actually, of, course, it is this secrecy that allows the ceremony to exist. If everyone knew that “professional engineers” received their rings in the atmosphere of a combined cub scout-mason’s meeting the ridicule that would be heaped upon the profession would be so great that either engineers would become professionals in the true sense of the world, or their perspectives would be corrected so that they could recognize themselves for the technicians they really are. Professionals serve society. Engineers serve industry. Until this indisputable fact is changed engineers cannot claim professional status, and all the iron rings in the world will not change that. The iron ring is either a symbol of the obligation, and if so symbolizes the hypocritical document of the century; or a symbol of status-something that the engineer doesn’t have and doesn’t deserve. Either way it is irrelevant and has no right to exist.

‘Would you like to talk to one of sports winningest coaches? If you are, then you can learn his philosophy behind putting a winning team together and how to ’ make a team run properly. The coach, of course, is John Wooden of UCLA basketball fame. Coach Wooden, who just last week steered his team to an unprecedented fifth straight NCAA basketball championship, will be on

campus tomorrow to show you how its all done. Nothing really needs to be said about this man. His highly successful record in basketball speaks for him. Wooden is the only man ever to coach two teams to a perfect 30-O season. And out of the last eight years his UCLA team has won seven NCAA championships,-An unbelievable record for any coach.

Picture yourself as being our old friend Orv in the tote room of the physed building. You might think not much is happening for Orv, sitting down there watching towels come and go all day. Now picture yourself as being Orv last Saturday, moseying through the locker room door and coming face to face with three damsels merrily drying themselves after a sauna and shower all in the raw! You can bet that Orv was wishing that he’d started growing that shaggy mustache of his a few months ago. As it was, he hadn’t, so he just kept on walking. Orv was stillsmiling on monday as he told about the liberation of the sauna. Orv, Andy and John, hopeful for a retake, will all be in the tote room Saturday afternoon ‘fin case its a busy day.” ? Well I went dE%sEzl?to play a little basketball and said to John at the

OF--THE

desk : “I need a ball.” He looked mournfully back at me, as is his wont, and said : “You think YOU need a ball?” The only question which remains is whether the authorities will try to enforce the implications of the sign on the door saying: men’s locker room. The tote room men would certainly not support such a move. In fact they have issued a statement thanking last week’s liberators for making their day complete. . Yes, it does sound like an invitation for a retake. Can’t you see it now though? It may turn into one of this university’s finest attractions. From this desk it would seem that anyone trying to stand in the way of the ‘liberation of the sauna, men’s locker room and indeed the men’s washrooms on campus; runs the risk of being labelled a faggoter , excuse me a homophile.

Of course having players like Lew Alcindor on your team makes it that much easier, but how many coaches know how to keep their players motivated over a period of eight long, grinding seasons? This will be part of what coach Wooden will offer tomorrow - how to motivate college athletes. The first session of the basketball clinic starts at 10 : 30 am and will be devoted primarily to his coaching philosophy, or what Wooden calls his “Pyramid Success”. For those of you who haven’t read his book, Modern Practical Basketball, tomorrow will be an opportune time to at least grab his formula in short form. The afternoon sessions will present various basketball topics. Among them will be : a zone attack, individual offense, individual defensive foundamentals, a high post offense and how to ocganize a practice schedule. The clinic is organized by the athletic department and is open to coaches, players, referees and interested or inquisitive persons on campus. Basketball enthusiasts will find the 10 dollar cost well worth the price in terms of what coach Wooden has to offer. The student rate has been set at 5 dollars. Persons interested in attending are asked to send their registration fees to Mike Lavelle, the Warriors’ head basketball coach. Since the clinic is to be held in the Hagey hall of the humanities, a registration desk will be located there. 1~lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllli~ll~~ , =

Council denies money for the best voice they Ike Well, council has done it again ! Set itself up as judge, jury and executioner on a matter it knows absolutely nothing about. I refer to the radio Waterloo budget. Only about three members on council have ever done anything at radio Waterloo and most have never set foot inside the building. The treasurer finally consented to at least have a look at what he was trying to kill last week. - After about one hour’s involvement, he blatently decided that 1500 dollars in honoraria would .run radio Waterloo for fourteen hours a day, seven days a week for a full year. Why will council not listen to those who have been involved for two, three and four years? Radio Waterloo went to council a- -- --1-I-L - -a-* ~. ror P *y,wu .“A monaay nignt asking dollars, down approximately 4,000 dollars from last year. All

was agreed upon until the salaries section was reached.,, Here radio Waterloo asked for 4,500 dollars to pay three people to work approximately three hours per day, six days a week each. Basically, their duties would be to form a policy board and to assist in‘ physically running the station. Radio Waterloo had S$OO dollars in salaries last year. But council in its wisdom has decided that these three positions - are worth 500 dollars each in honoraria. The workload hasn’t changed, just the wage. It’s now dowi to 50 cents an hour. And council complains about janitor’s wages. There was also a hassle about a secretary. Coun&l will assign a secretary to radio Waterloo but she must remain in the federation office, where she can do no good at all for radio Waterloo. Council has never really spiritually supported the station, although they receive more benefit than the average student in advertising for events. They say the on-air sound is poor which it is. Taking away the money won’t improve it. Radio Waterloo had a plan to better use the money but no one would listen. I submit that council is playing pin the tail on the donkey with a double thickness blindfold. BILL STRAIN radio Waterloo

This is a correction of what was written in the chevron last week about the recreation students being happy about the BA, we are supposed to be getting. We, as the students, would like to say, we HATE it. Recreation, as we are taught is a profession but what kind of a profession is a. BA. We would like to know why we were not consulted at its initiation instead of being told two weeks before it is put to senate, and then bingo, here it is. so whoever said, we are happy, didn’t come to us, the students, to see our point of view.

ffeedback Love stofy: staffing Wdy Deltahey und Peter Hopkins Yes Mr. Hopkins, we see that there are some real sleepers for the horses ass trophy. There may have been some people in the running, but you have just stole the show. You say that it is time to state facts. We see your point. “Phantoms, who tripped our players as they were on their way to touchdowns. ” Beaten by the weather, or by foul officials, or by “other factors which those not in position to know wouldn’t understand.” Not to mention supposed reasons such as a faulty defense against Western and Queens. (In the first Western game, who’s offense gave up at least seven interceptions while the defense only allowed two TD’s. In the second Western game, who’s defense only gave up two points. ) Are these selfish players who quite the same ones that you said were not good enough to play anyway? It is indeed time to state the facts. Real facts, not bullshit. We feel that an Inter-collegiate coaching staff should possess the following qualities : l Have the technical knowledge to put together a playable football system. (Why have we had to change our offensive system every year. 7 Why were none of ’ them successful? ) 0 Has the ability to select the best personnel for the proper positions.’ (Was all-star guard Ole Hensrud of Manitoba Bisons really a defensive end or corner linebacker? Was McMaster defensive captain Marshall Caplan so bad that he couldn’t ’ dress for one game at Waterloo?) oHas the confidence and COoperation of his assistants. (Why have two coaches who have proved themselves in other areas quite because of conflicts over football?‘) Has the poise to make critical decisions during game situations. (Why have we twice taken the wind in the first quarter and then attempted to establish a running game? Why have they failed to act upon obvious weaknesses, such as Western’s Paul Knill covering our much faster Gord McLelland who was open. most of the time? ) oHas the ability to prepare the team emotionally and psychologically ior the contest. (Why do we have separate meetings, i.e. offensive and defensive, just prior to kick-off? Why do we get new l

material at this time? Could this material not have been covered during the weeks preparation?) OHas the integrity to treat his players with equality and fairmindedness. (Why do some players dress after missing practices, while others do not? Why aren’t problems discussed with those involved instead of other players who are not concerned? ) OHas the respect of his players ( Really! Why 35 signatures asking for his resignation?) l Has the ability to teach the necessary skills and, knowledge. (Why do most players seem to perform better in their first years here than in their later ones? Why do several football players state that they have not learned very much from our present coaching staff? ) l Have the ability to develop friendship and enjoyment from the team’s activities. (Why the slit in the offense and defensive units to the extent that it led to actual fighting in one practice? Are we not fighting for the same cause? ) We have attempted to use spot examples to prove, or to question the listed criterion, since we do not have the space or time to list them all. We feel that our coaching staff has not lived up to the criteria that we have defined. What other alternative is there but to replace them? We respect Mr. Delahey as a man, contrary to Mr. Hopkins inference. We have never questioned his dedication and loyalty to his job, but do strongly question his inadequacies in coaching methods. Mr. Hopkins ’ stated that the coaching staff was not infallible, but did own up to their mistakes. Why have the same mistakes happened again? Mr. Hopkins listed the concepts that Mr. Delahey feels were important in his philosophy. First was enjoyment. (Is having to tell your head coach and the rest of your unit that you are ashamed of your effort a part of that fun.) Should the university, and the students have to pay what they do so that 40 football players can have fun and enjoyment? Football should develop friendships is his second point. Do actions such as Mr. Hopkins’ “anti-Hull campaign” develop such friendships? His third point is that football should be a learning experience, yet few football players can claim that it really has been.

Is it a coincidence that last on his list is winning? It is certainly true that Mr. Delahey should receive credit for a good defensive unit. He delagated authority to someone who could do’ it! Why should he be discredited for the offense? Possibly because he is the offensive coach. Who should accept the blame for the football situation? In the 68-69 season it was claimed to be a lack of talent and experience. In the next year it was Ed DeArmon who split the team. Tbis year it seems to be those “Rumormongering knifing-in-the-back, gutless ex-Warriors.” Who will it be next year? 1 Although Mr. Hopkins has labelled several of us with very interesting titles, it was upon the request of Mr. Totzke that we brought our grievances into the open. Some of the team members have been accused of carrying a personal vendetta, but these people are the same ones that were selected by the team as their representatives. Could it be that someone is trying to discredit them? It has been our intention as a team to reveal to everyone concerned the facts as they exist concerning varsity football at the university of Waterloo. We will have no part of a shit throwing campaign based upon emotional reactions or personal vendetta, such as Mr. Hopkins seems to be attempting. Our attempt is a reasonable, rational, and intellectual discussion and solution to the problems that exist. This is the position of the university of Waterloo football team alone, and is no way directed by former members of the coaching staff, as seems to be depicted by Mr. Hopkins or others; Rumor - mongering, knifex-waring-in-the-back gutless riors.

This reply is directed to the student who took the extra few minutes to offer his criticism to the chevron questionnaire of a few weeks ago. As far as the setup of the questionnaire I ask you to redirect your remarks to the chevron who set up the format and who probably would appreciate any constructive remarks concerning setup. Councerning the criticism of the cohesiveness, I thank him. Yet I would like to take this opportunity to explain some of the problems involved in construci ting this questionnaire. Initially, it was necessary to determine just what *problems and complaints were prevalent among the students. This involved setting up a tentative questionnaire which was presented to a cross-section of the faculties and colleges at Uniwat. By means of personal interviews by members of the community seminar of history 224 this preliminary was carried out. This partially explains what you have termed “a lack of cohesiveness’ ’ . We hoped to cater to wishes of the students which tended to be somewhat diverse. At a glance, one might be correct in suggesting that many of the questions are open-ended but if there is a general concensus of opinion these “subjective” questions will have been a success. As far as the criticism of the use of the word “mature”, we felt that it would clearly be defined as meaning adult student. Since it is used throughout the academic calendar without further refinement, it seemed adequate for this questionnaire. .RICHARD HENDERSON econ 2?42 DAN O’BRIEN @=g 2 Engineers iron ring

Couch Hopkins’ reasons for‘ keeping Delahey as head coach. The coaching staff of the football warriors neglected to present the conveted horse’s ass trophy this year. Personally, I would like to have the honour of presenting it to all those rumor-mongering, knifing in the back, gutless exwarriors for their usual inability to act as men. I think it is high time true facts about the football team were stated so that reasonable people could make. rational, intelligent decisions about Mr. Delahey, .the assistant coaches, the players and in general, the warrior football team. Wally

and the players

For the past two years, a one-sided, slanderous series of articles have been written about the fates of certain players, blaming Wally as the reason for ~ their quitting or disgruntlement. As a result, some of them have been carrying out an emotional, personal vendetta against him instead of looking at their own inadequacies first. 1. Mike Martin - quit, not cut because he couldn’t accept the fact that our veteran first string quarterback, after coming off an injury would start as quarterback in an exhibition game. 2. Dave Groves - quit without discussion with the coaches, because he refused to be a disciplined quarterback since he could not discipline himself. All coaches agreed with this at the time. 3. George Saunders - quit because he got injured and couldn’t take the physical punishment inherent in the sport. I could list the reasons why others quit or were cut ,but it is not necessary here. What other reasons these discredited players give are simply after the fact rumors or personal vendattas that they have never had the courage to confront Delahey with. His door and mine have been open as most of you know: As to present disgruntled players : 1. George Nogradi - ex-captain, quit since we didn’t dress him for a game because all coaches agreed he wasn’t good enough. 2. Warren Hull - I am to blame for the anti-Hull campaign because I personally felt he lacked the speed, size and ability to play inside linebacker for a OQAA team and that others were better or would be better. 3. Dennis Watts - tremendous effort but lacked the necessary skills to start. Although he did start one game because a player was injured, that player returned and Dennis went to a wedding which was discussed and mutually agreed to. 4. Wayne Fox - exceptional hands, but the main reason he didn’t play was that either he couldn’t or wouldn’t throw a block for his team members. For the other players who signed the petition, simply look in the mirror and ask yourselves the questions you’re._ accusing Wally of. It is often quoted - “If you win, you got good players, if you lose its poor coaches.” How naive can you be? Inability

to control

coaches

This is one side which probably will never be known because Wally is too much of a person to openly discuss it in detail. Many times he has been torn between being a professional or not, by maligning the integrity of certain assistant coaches. He would rather “mangez merde” than dish it out to those more deserving. Several attempts were made to resolve internal conflicts over the last two years. People were told basically to shape up or get out. Open discussions were held in a professional way but after everyone agreed to give a little, it was not upheld. One philosophy is extremely important here. If you are hired as an assistant and we all were, we are to

be assistant. coaches. That means, working with the head coach for the sake of the team. It means that you are loyal in all aspects of the team, the students, the department and the university as a whole. It means if you as an assistant don’t agree with the present situation you can try and change it as a professional coaching staff and agree with it come whatever or you can leave. It means that if a head coach has differences and all head coaches and assistants have, it is your professional obligation to use your own attributes to complement these differences for the betterment of the team. Not play on and downgrade these weaknesses for your own personal glory and aggrandizement to the detriment of the team. It is tough to be ‘a head coach with daggers in your, back. But if you are going to crucify Wally, then you are doing it because he was a true professional, a human being, a nice guy for believing in the integrity of the individual for the sake of the team, not himself. Delahey

the technician

For the players disagreeing with Wally’s technical ability there are several things to point out. Who are you to tell the coaches how to coach? That is our job. Granted, we as all coaching staffs make mistakes but we admit to them. But how many of you have ever admitted to mistakes that changed the course of a game? We have been beaten only twice in this year two years - against Toronto and Queen’s the year before. The rest we lost - as a team, as coaches, as players, by the weather and even officials. Not one head coach. Our expectations were high this year but there were many factors which simply prevented this. For example : l We never had a complete offensive line due to injury and sickness of 3 first string players. l Lack of good defense in the games against Western and Queen’s. l Lack of an experienced, Quarterback creating only half an attack - running in which meant 9-10 man defensive alignments against us. l Selfish players who by quitting put themselves ahead of the team. l Phantoms, who tripped our players as they were on their way to touchdowns. l Other factors which those not in position to know wouldn’t understand because you are not coaches. These are not simply rationalization but actual facts about this years turn of events. Also you talk about our tremendous defense and rightly so. Shouldn’t the head coach receive credit for this? Why should he only be discredited for the offense? He, as head coach, has ultimate control over the whole team - not just half of it. To clarify a further point. We have never made drastic changes in our football system. Yes, we have made changes or better still adjustments. both offensively and defensively. This is normal strategy and is contingent on so many factors such as - sudden opponents systems, weather injuries, conditions, actual game stituation, etc., etc. Some work, some.don’t. Have you ever complimented Wally for a good critadjustment ? No, only ruthlessly icized those that don’t work. Fair isn’t it? How can you blame one head coach for injuries to key players, fumbles at crucial times, officials errors and players not doing their job? The only thing we can be ,faulted for is not informing the students, staff and faculty about the true situation. Possibly, this can be corrected through a weekly quarterback club entailing coaches hot seats, film analysis of the game, player interviews and in I general This, I believe, would rap sessions. clarify a great many misrepresentations concerning the football team and its coaches.

Delahey

the man

You say you cannot talk about the man. That is both ludicrous and ridiculous. Wally, the head coach, the technician, the task maker is - Wally the man. What type of man is this who can be accused for all the misfortunes of the warrior football team? First he is a human being - who cares. He is an untiring worker who puts in more time and effort than all his assistant coaches put together. He is unselfish by always putting the team, the coaches, the University before himself and personal glory. He has the respect of his -peers being elected second president of the football coaches association in Canada, and editor of the first football coaches newsletter. His organizational abilities are not equalled by any of his assistant coaches. He is a superb teacher as most students know. In my opinion he has the technical ability to be a head football coach. He certainly is not perfect but has never pretended to be. He is always trying to improve himself through teaching, clinics and discussions with his peers. Most of all, he is a sincere, dedicated and loyal professional person who believes in the integrity of the individual. Maybe he should be crucified for his humanistic idealism? He has done more for the players, by helping them get jobs and housing, locating tutors, solving problems, helping girlfriends get jobs, fighting for loans and on and on than all other coaches that I’ve known both- at Carleton and here. For what! If I had to blame Wally for, anything it is for changing. When I played for him as . co-captain in 66-67 and coached with him in first year *1968, he was a dictator, ruthless, whipcarrying, sarcastic, tough coach. After his first season record, he introspected and blamed himself and decided to run a democratic ship and be a nice guy. He started to listen to his players, his assistant coaches which often times were against his better judgement. He tried to resolve the coaching situation in a pleasant, profesAgain his sional nice guy manner. belief in the integrity of the individual became his monster child. Those players that he helped and befriended - turned on him. Those coaches which he believed in - undermined him. This is Wally - the man you want to get rid of. The ultimate

question:

If you are only interested in winning then forget all intercollegiate sports: There are more important things. Wally’s philosophy is similar to mine : l Football first should be fun and enjoyable. l Football second should develop friendships. l Football third, should be a learning experience. l Fourth, in this order - winning. If everything is subjugated to the latter, then coaching at a non:professional level is an empty thing. Everybody wants to win - don’t ever underestimate that but there are so few winners. There is certainly a great deal more to football than winning. We are attempting to find that delicate balance between all four objectives. But I’ll certainly never sacrifice the first three objectives in favour of winning. The other thing -which really bothers me as an individual and a coach is a growing unfavourable attitude in our intercollegiate athletics - namely, the sport should be , privileged to have these players in it. To me this persistent feeling is backward. It should be an honour and privilege for an individual to play an intercollegiate sport. Somewhere along

the way, players have been spoiled, pampered and patted on the back to thinking the former. You should be thankful of your ability and the right and privelege to play at such a high level of activity, there are so few who can. This attitude must be changed before it is too late. But the ultimate question Is Wally, the technician, the man, the head coach really to blame? Don’t be so naive ! Goodbye - ex-players, quitters and ex-coaches - you’ll never be an equal because -your attitude, your selfishness, your inability to rise to a high level of integrity, will deem you losers wherever you go. In closing - the athletic proverb Don’t fear criticism. The galleries are full of critics.. . they play no ball.. . they fight no fights.. . they make no mistakes.. . Because they attempt nothing.. . Down in the arena are the doers, they make mistakes because they attempt many things. ’ . PETER HOPKINS assistant coach 68-71

Hopkins shows how Delahey fails on four points of own stanciards. I would like to respond to the “statement” issued by Peter Hopkins this week. Aside from the fact that the release as a whole upsets me, I have two main complaints. First, Hopkins begins _ by complaining about the “rumour - mongering, knifing-in-the-back, ex-Warriors for their inability to act as men”. He then pro- ’ ceeds to hang himself with his own rope. ’ Half of his “statement” (and I use the term loosely) is an emotional, slanderous attack against eight explayers and some assistant coaches. Although he assures us that his “statement” is fact, it still smacks of “rumour-mongering, knifing-in-the-back” to me. My second comment is above and beyond the content of the “statement”. Given that all he says is true, and given that Delahey’s philosophy is what Hopkins says it is, it seems obvious that Delahey has failed by his own standards. If Delahey believes that foot-ball ’ should “be fun and enjoyable”, “develop friendships” and “be a learning experience’ ’ , he seems to have failed in teaching this belief to, or sharing it with, his players. Football on this campus, from all _ reports, is not a fun, or friendly, or learning experience. And we certainly weren’t winning. So, Mr. Hopkins, the ultimate question is “On what grounds do we justify keeping a head coach who can’t fulfill any. of his four objectives, as you stated them? t PETER MARSHALL arts 4 There is student involvement in activities; just choose where; Why should I listen to radio waterloo when I can listen to CHUM-FM or CHYM? Why should I read the chevron when I can read the gazette or the globe and mail ? Why should I have paid federation fees when Burt Mathews and the boys will take care of me? And then not enough people are involved in the chevron or the federation so let’s’ close them down too. When you think about it what about the flying club? BRIAN PRESSWOOD eng2B What you read or listen to is your decision, however there are many people involved in the various facets you mention. Radio Waterloo has 60 people actively involved in its operation, the federation over 100, the chevron about 60 and the flying club about 26. They are there for you and everyone else who wants to get involved in them. The choice remains with you. -the

Does’the press i&or&he poor? of about 300 low income citizen groups from across the country met in Toronto in january to plan the beginnings of a national poor people’s movement. They talked about poverty, economic nationalism, unemployment, hassling their local welfare administrator, gaining control of public housing projects and, to just about everyone’s surprise,‘the media. The role reporters would play in this, the first poor people’s conference, became a key issue for the conference itself and strikingly revealed the depth of discontent-and even anger-among the poor with the media and those who serve it. The conference financed with !$68,500 in federal funds, was to have been closed to reporters (politicians, bureaucrats and social workers, as well). But, at the last minute and in an effort to head off criticism about secrecy, the poor people who planned the conference decided to open a few sessions to the media. At the first of these sessions, delegates were informed of the planning committee’s press guidelines. They HE LEADERS

reacted angrily and an hour-long shouting match followed. Peter Robinson a member of the black liberation front of Toronto and chairman of the conference planning committee, said restrictions on the media were thought necessary because of “harrassment, misinterpretation and misquoting” by the press. , He also used the word “red-baiting” in reference to a series of articles in the Toronto Telegram by Peter Worthington which conference organizers thought was an attempt to suggest they were communists plotting the violent overthrow of the government. This was the local background to the decision to bar the media from all but the conference’s plenary sessions (the bulk of delegates’ time was spent in small workshops). Delegates, however, had all. had personal experience with the media in their own cities and what they told the national session was hardly flatte.ring to anyone involved in the news business at any level. There was frequent talk about distorted coverage of the activities of poor people’s groups and-what was A

A T’S ALMOST END of term at the university of Waterloo and, as usual, things are beginning to hop politically when the least number of people have time to get involved. Examples of conflict float around us everywhere . . . the students at the school of . .architecture who threaten to move to another building and aefuse to write final exams unless the present director of the school is fired . . . the professor in the history department who intends to break a newly-set tradition in that department and set a final exam. . . the federation of students who have chosen budget time to demand justifications for the existence of Badio Waterloo. It’s enough to keep the chevron relevant. I had a dream last night. I dreampt I saw the university of Waterloo as one individual; a bright-eyed seeker of fortune who was eying the summer months with the glare of a traveller who sees shelter from the storm just over the next hill. Ahh, the summer. . . the summer months when there is only one student council meeting; when there are only 3,000 students on campus. It’s as if the university crawls under the covers with expressed intention of hibernating. But underneath it all, we all know that sliding beneath the sheets is just a method of adjusting the \ pajamas. What will happen during the summer at the U of W? In my dream, the bright-eyed seeker swept through controversy, slaying doubters and impeeders in single sweeps of the keen-edged sword of convivality and intent, emerging from the summer much like the acrobat who leaps from his final contortion into a vertical spread eagle for the approval of the audience. There, standing in the September sunshine, face flushed by the impishness-of partial self-satisfaction and partial embarrassment, stood the bright eyed seeker‘the university-welcoming back the returning flock with a wink, and smiling broadly for the new fold. The halls smell clean, the trees have been transplanted. The clocks work. Yes, the physical plant is aglow with light and color. Even the federation of students, , intent upon the orientation of youthful proteges, is irrelevent to the university administration-an administration which realizes the new student is not in a mood to bring down the government, but rather is in the hypnotic grasp of growing up and seeing the world of academia. And academic floats long every path, in every hallway, in every coffee shop. Ah.. . the captured innocence of youth, the intentionally liberal introductory remarks in every classroom, the four letter words flowing from lips of minions wrenched from the protection of their parents. That is the view from the administration office . . . And who wins? Neither the federation nor the administration. And that’s all the flutter senate wants. The status quo is kept . . . ‘the social issues of conversation across coffee and through filter-tipped cigarettes. Pollution, housing, materialism, demonstrations . . . it’s all so marvelous. And in the middle of it all lies the first year student, sacked out on his 2-inch mattress, his nervous lover beside him in body or in mind; thoughts of books and looks and words beyond spelling floating somewhere off in the distant land of tomorrow. For the moment, there is only the awe,of that thing known as life, the thing that tosses new worlds at him with abandon. He is free. He is alone. He is surrounded with companions. What more could any man want. In a short time, he will be told by many parties what any-man should want. But that’s to come . . . that’s education. And after all, we’re ending the year, not beginning. Good night, university. Sleep well with your bedmates during the summer months. In the fall, the minions will return en masse. But the summer is here-thetime for compromise, the time for the dividing-up of the year’s spoils and the preparation for the onslaught in the fall. What will you look like in the fall, university? Will you have grown a foot or will you be older and fatter? Will your dismount from the final summer political acrobatic contortion be smooth and slick, or just a little bit sloppy? What does it matter? No one looks that closely in the fall. \ To paraphrase the old line, sometimes universities are neither great nor small . . . they’re just there. And for the majority of students on this campus, that’s the ’ situation. It’s not that we condone anything that goes on . . . it’s not that we don’t disagree. It’s just that it’s all so meaningless, so distant. And that is not the statement of the silent majority, but rather of the latent majority who are-tired of political attempts at seduction and who wish for just a little sincerity. Amusement with university politics leads either to calculated perversion or insanity and it’s not because the potatoes in the universities’ political field are too small. They’re just douced with so many chemicals that they are often unrecognizable. And as the man says, “I can enjoy a joke as soon as I know about it”. by Bruce

thought by some to be as bad or even worse-no coverage at all “The press never listens to us,” said one woman from the Maritimes. Peter Harrington of Toronto, one of the propress delegates, said “complete and total coverage” of the conference was the only way the poor could get their grievances across. A Kingston, Ont., delegate saw reporters as a mixed blessing: “We should make sure we use them, not they use us. They scare me sometimes. They’ve got one hell of a lot of power.” Finally, reporters were asked to leave the church hall where the meeting was being held and left with some delegates chanting: “Out, out, out, ” One delegate tried to grab a reporter’s notes and there were shouts that a photographer should not be allowed out of thehall until he had turned over the film on his camera to the delegates. Later, they returned to the downtown hotel where the remainder of the 3?&day conference was being held and began voting on whether reporters should be allowed to attend all meetings, only the--plenary session or be barred completely. As they filed into the hotel lobby, the early edition of the Globe and Mail arrived in the news-stand. The lead story on a section page largely devoted to the conference carried a head stating “Bar business brisk” as the meeting began. The Globe, however, changed the head and downplayed what was meant to be a color story in the next edition. This is what the press is capable of, eh? ” said a man from Montreal as he got ready to vote. The Montreal Star played the story on page four of its Metro edition under a two-column headline reading “Press angers poor people’s conference. ” The story was almost a full column

long. The Toronto Telegram ran it on the front page under a four-column head saying “Partial press ban at Poor conference. ” It, too, was about a column in length, turning to an inside page, In its first edition, the Toronto Daily Star ran the story on page 2 under the head “Poor admit newsmen after bitter dispute. ” It ran about two-thirds of a column of type. Above it, under a three-column head, Star editors placed another story of similar length that told how much the conference was costing. In later editions, both stories were moved to page 48, the middle of the family section. The Star’s decision to give a story on the cost of the conference more prominence than the story on the question of the media also angered some delegates. Alex Bandy of Vancouver said in a CBC radio’ interview this was an example of the media playing down the “blood and guts” of the .conference, focusing instead on a secondary issue and blowing it out of proportion. What this shows is that the poor, particularly those from the cities, have I become acutely aware of the role of the media, an awareness they have not voiced previously. Behind this is both a growing consciousness of their own public image and a feeling that the media, particularly newspapers, are the tools of big business and govern’ ment. The media don’t accurately reflect them and don’t articulate their desires. Whole sections of newspapers are given over to fashions and business. Hundreds of journalists are employed as sports reporters. At last count, less than a dozen Canadian dailies had staffers writing full-time about poverc ty, the condition that afflicts one out of five of their readers. Adapted

e each instructed three sections of about 20 freshmen, and we were interested in confronting the students with their biases. In our experiment, we showed our students a picture of a dead child. We described the picture to one section as a missionary child killed by a Congolese soldier ; to another we said it was an indian child killed by a Chinese soldier; and we told a third section that it was a Vietnamese child killed by an american soldier. The students reacted to the killings committed by the. Chinese and the African as acts reflective of the murderers’ cultures. In the students’ minds, the Indian child was not shot by an enemy soldier, but by a Chinese. They expressed this perception with remarks such as, “Why did the Chinese shoot the child?” To some, the photograph showed that the Chinese are “maniacs” and “desperate.?’ Likewise, the murder of the missionary child by a Congolese reflected the “nature of the Congolese.” Students labeled the Congolese as “inhuman ” and “savages. ’ ’ Thus, regardless of whether or not the murders were justified, in the cases of both the Chinese and Congolese no distinction was made between the murderers and the societies that they represented. X The reactions to the third picture were different, for in no way did the students view the murder of a Vietnamese child as a reflection of american society. Since the students saw’ the war in a purely military context, they could not believe that american soldiers would intentionally kill children: The child was too young to be a military enemy; his death was an accident. A typical reaction was, “We can fight, but not kill innocent children.” In other words, the students found ways to argue that the child should not have been killed without arguing that the war should not be fought. Some actually doubted that the child was killed by an american bullet; they blamed the Viet Cong. Thus, we found that students’ perceptions of the dead child, as well as the murderer, depended on the political or cultural context within which the act took place, not on the neutrality of facts.
