Last friday in Kitchener city hall, the Ontario municipal board held an unpublicized hearing on a proposed bylaw to rezone property for the Oxlea-Eaton’s development. City council approved the bylaw march 8 before they were aware of the development scheme. Three pieces of land would be changed from downtown commercial to C4 zoning: the city hall parcel, a strip between Hall’s Lane and Charles St., and a parcel between Francis and Queen. Commercial developments in a C4 zone are not required to provide adequate parking facilities. Since the parking building would eventually revert to the city, Eaton’s would be

free to take advantage of city owned and operated facilities. Also, land could be more highly developed without even providing the open space afforded by a parking lot. At the hearing, Kitchener resident David Newell pointed out that many citizens were upset about the proposed development. He expressed concern that their objections were not heard at the unpublicized meeting. City solicitor Elmer Moore countered that the rezoning was only a routine matter. The OMB representative present disagreed with Moore and deferred a decision until public opinion could be heard. Apparently, urban renewal
people were again foiled at the last minute by concerned citizens. According to- the KW Record, only one alderman was even aware of the hearing. The Record article went on to point out that most aldermen considered the hearing a routine matter. Alderman Merv Villemaire commented that the only criticism has been from “university professors who have never worked a day in their lives or from radical students who don’t live in Kitchener.” When the chevron requested an interview with C.N. Weber, chairman of the urban renewal committee, he replied, “I *don’t think we’d be interested. Haven’t you done enough already? Well,

U ot I spin on parity
TORONTO (CUP) -- Faculty at the university of Toronto are alarmed by the possibility that a amendment which compromise would give students parity with university’s faculty on the governing council may be &cepted. The original motion allows faculty to chose 10 members and the students, six. The council would have 42 members. rrnr CAWAOA_I The amendment, introduced -by 5c university affairs minister John m White would increase the proposed governing council to 50 members, 1 add four to the 14 to be chosen by cabinet, and allow students and Few people showed up for the faculty, voting together, to name hbdeus and Sea Dog concert another four members.

par’ity” and that students would elect the four members-at-large. “A step of this kind at this time...will be viewed with alarm, concern and profound disillusion by my colleagues at U of T and other -universi%es,” he said. Peter Hall, a student spokesman, said that faculty and students working together to elect four members of the council would build the trust needed if quality education is to be provided on limited finances. Students have .asked for equal representation with the faculty. Another professor, John Crispo, said parity on the council and in communities would jeopardize academic standards. “The tensions are trememdous at that university and have been for some time. I am terribly worried as a faculty member about the standard of the B.A.,” he continued. He charged that students have
watered-down standards and faculty morale is a serious problem. ’ Dr. Matthew Dymond (PCOntario) said he was “confused, confounded and stupefied” by the faculty’s attitude. “Hasfaculty no faith in students? Students are going to govern the woyld...do you mean to say that 10 students can control the university to a degree its financial structure will be threatened or undermined? ” he asked. Pitman (NDPWalter Peterborough) said that since students will be most affected by budget cuts, why not involve them in budgeting? The faculty has said that to give students parity on a university governing council would make headlines around the world. They contend the university will be torn into bitter factionsstudents against _ faculty-if the compromise is accepted.
haven’t you? ” Weber has extensive financial interests in the downtown area. Kitchener planning board is making radical assumptions about the future: a continued healthy economy and a reasonable growth rate. How are Kitchener planners preparing for the day when the bombs drop? Alderman Russ Hons’berger wants to maintain Kitchener as the shopping center of Waterloo county ; regional government is going to restrict Kitchener’s industrial land, so he wants to concentrate on commercial ’ development. How much do you pay your lover every time you make love? The planners are going to turn , King St. into multilevel shopping malls with focal points at each end (large commercial developmerits) . Have the planners ever been for a walk in the woods? Cement companies are going to make a fortune from urban renewal. Are their owners going to enjoy their fortunes when their children go schizophrenic? If the economy keeps booming, If the builders keep building, If the developers keep invevting, If the rulers keep helping the planners and builders and developers to plan and build and invest, who’s going to worry about us all going mad in a sea of inset ticides, carbon monoxide and panty girdles?

The latest issue of the Grad Bag won the admiration of many of its readers by describing the plight of the east Pakistani refugees in India in its centre-fold. Jay Beattie, president of the graduate student union, however, chose to be loftily disdainful about the centre-fold. Here are his comments published under the title “Message from the President” in the same issue of the Grad Bag: “...when I look over old issues of the Grad Bag, I find they are filled with junk anyway, Take this issue for example. Who wants a centrefold about the misery in India, wouldn’t a colour photo of a nude woman increase our readership?” Beattie is entitled to his own opinions. As long as he expresses them in his personal capacity, we would have no reasons to object to them, however much we might regret or disagree with them. When, however, he chooses to publicly express opinions such as the one quote%d above in his capacity as GSU President, we must record our strongest indignation and resentment.

Sex and violence being the order of the day, there is no hesitation on the part of the creators of Klute to utilize these phenomena as vehicles for exploring the neureses of a disturbed civilization - that being you and me, 20th century. Klute, (Donald Sutherland), a private detective, takes upon himself to discover the whereabouts and fate of a missing friend (Tom ), and eventually does so, wordlessly, but with dedication. Bree (Jane Fonda), whose character and personality is obviously a foil and therefore a compliment to Klute’s, is the key to this undertaking. Through~ her eyes, we see the ‘seedy side’ of life, dressed in silk, wine, and dope: a sophisticated, upper class call-girl indulging the whims and the perversions of those who can afford her. It becomes quickly obvious that although wordly-wise, behind that polish lurkes a lonely woman, who manages to deny herself the fundamental needs and pleasures in life, through a series of ‘numbing’ filters, all in the name of getting by, but most importantly maintaining control. Enter Klute, exit c-ontrol. The experience of a genuine feeling and attachment for someone, a completely alien situation for her, explains the film being in tersperced with excerpts from a continuous interview with her round-faced greying psychoanalyst. The affair between Klute and Bree is construed as the main plot, with Bree dominant, the backdrop being the seemingly never-ending search for Tom. Through a shakedown of several of Bree’s contacts, Klute arrives at the conclusion that Tom has not, in fact, succumbed to the depths and gyrations of sin city New York as suspected, but has been murdered by a business colleague, in an attempt to save face. Tom had inadvertently stumbled across his assoicate during his extea-curricular activities hour, on a business trip. Unfortunately, this murderous gentleman sees Bree, who was indirectly involved, as the missing

He also said that he tries to avoid using scripts if he can help it.

item in its catalogue of contemporary horrors. The few redeeming aspects of this version of Hair are to be found in its music, although the level of performance is generally quite low. Of the four male leads, only Arthur’ Dillingham’s Hud consistently pierces the murky background of the chorus, a task made more difficult by a distorting, and at times overbearingly loud, amplification system. Jo Ann Harris as Sheila contributes a sensitive rendering of “Easy To Be Hard,” and Tyrone Miles provides a dynamite, but all too short, version of James Brown’s “I Feel Good,” which just about exhausts the musical pleasures to be gleaned from this production.

production. In summary, then, the new Hair is an almost complete failure. In its latest incarnation it has elected to play to the fears and fantasies of the silent majority, to reinforce all the negative stereotypes associated with the you’th culture, and to substitute sensationalism for sensitivity. If you have already seen Hair, you will almost certainly be disappointed with this production. If you haven’t seen it, better you should wait for the movie.

J. S. Minion was a maintenance foreman in the public works department of Excelsior City. He was a favorite of the senior officals at City Hall. They all praised his unfailing affability. “I like Minion,” said the superintendent of works. “He has good judgement and is always pleasant and agreeable.” This behavior was appropriate for Minion’s position: he was not supposed to make policy, so he had no need to disagree with his superiors. The superintendent of works retired and Minion succeeded him. Minion continued to agree with everyone. He passed to his foreman every suggestion that came from above. The resulting conflicts in policy, and the continual changing of plans, soon demoralized the department. Complaints poured in from the Mayor and other officials, from taxpayers and from the maintenanceworkers’ union. Minion still says “Yes” to everyone, and carries messages briskly back and forth between his superiors and his subordinates. Nominally a superintendent, he actually does the work of a messenger. The maintenance department regularly exceeds its budget, yet fails to fulfil1 its program of work. In short, Minion, a competent foreman, became an incompetent superintendent. . SERVICE
HEN I WAS A BOY I was taught that the men upstairs knew what they were doing. I was told, “Peter, the more you know, the further you go.” So I stayed in school until I graduated from college and then went forth into the world clutching firmly these ideas and my new teaching certificate. During the first year of teaching I was upset to find that a number of teachers,, school principals, supervisors and superintendents appeared to be unaware of their professional responsibilities and incompetent in executing their duties. For example my principal’s main concerns were that all window shades be at the same level, that classrooms should be quiet and that no’ one step on or near the rose beds. The superintendent’s main concerns were that no minority group, no matter how fanatical, should ever be offended and that all official forms be submitted on time. The children’s education appeared farthest from the administrator mind. At first I thought this was a special weakness of the school system in which I taught so I applied for certification in another province. I filled out the special forms, enclosed the required documents and complied willingly with all the red tape. Several weeks later, back came my application and all the documents! No, there was nothing wrong with my credentials ; the forms were correctly filled out; an official departmental stamp showed that they had been received in good order. But an accompanying letter said, “The new regulations require that such forms cannot be accepted by the Department of Education unless they have been registered at the Post Office to ensure safe delivery. Will you please remail the forms to the Department, making sure to register them this time?” I began to suspect that the local school system did not have a monopoly on incompetence. As I looked further afield, I saw that every organization contained a number of persons who could not do their jobs.

A universal pheno.menon ,I
Occupational incompetence is everywhere. Have you noticed it? Probably we all have noticed it. We see indecisive politicians posing as resolute statesmen and the “authoritative source” who blames his misinformation on “situational imponderables”. Limitless are the public servants who are indolent and insolent; military commanders whose behavioral timidity belies their dreadnaught rhetoric, and governors whose innate servility prevents their actually governing. In our sophistication, we virtually shrug aside the immoral cleric, corrupt judge, incoherent attorney, author who cannot write and English teacher who cannot spell. At universities we see proclamations authored by administrators whose own office communications are hopelessly muddled ; and droning lectures from inaudible or incomprehensible instructors. Seeing incompetence at all levels of every hierarchy --- political, legal, educational and inthat the cause was some dustrial - I hypothesized inherent feature of the rules governing the placement of employees. Thus began my serious study of the ways in which employees move upward through a hierarchy, and of what happens to them after promotion. For my scientific data hundreds of case histories

E. Tinker was exceptionally zealous and intelligent as an apprentice at G. Reece Auto Repair Inc., and soon rose to journeyman mechanic. In this job he showed ,outstanding ability in diagnosing obscure faults, and endless patience in correcting them. He was promoted to foreman of the repair shop. But here his love of things mechanical and his perfectionism become liabilities. He will undertake any job that he thinks looks interesting, no matter how busy the shop may be. “We’ll work it, in somehow,” he says. He will not let a job go until he is fully satisfied with it. He meddles constantly. He is seldom to be found at his desk. He is usually up to his elbows in a dismantled motor and while the man who should be doing the work stands watching, other workmen sit around waiting to be assigned new tasks. As a result the shop is always overcrowded with work, always in a muddle, and delivery times are often missed. Tinker cannot understand that the average customer cares little about perfection - he wants his car back on time! He cannot understand that most of his men are less interested in motors than in their pay checks. So Tinker cannot get on with his customers or with his subordinates. He was a competent mechanic, but is now an incompetent foreman. MILITARY

The Peter Principle : “In a Hierarchy Every Employee Ilis Level of Incompetence”
A new science

Having formulated the principle, I discovered that I had inadvertently founded a new science, hierarchiology, the study of hierarchies. The term “hierarchy” was originally used to describe the system of church government by priests graded into ranks. The contemporary meaning includes any organization of rank, grade or class. Hierarchiology, although a relatively recent discipline, appears to have great applicability to the fields of public and private administration. My principle is the key to an understanding of all hierarchal systems, and therefore to an understanding of the whole structure of civilization. A few eccentrics try to avoid getting involved with hierarchies, but everyone in business, industry, trade-unionism, politics, government 7 the armed forces, religion and education is so involved. All of them are controlled by the Peter Principle. Many of them, to be sure, may win a promotion or two, moving from one level of competence to a higher level of competence. But competence in that new position qualifies them for still -another promotion. For each individual, for you, for me, the final promotion is from a level of competence to a level of incompetence. So, given enough time - and assuming the existence of enough ranks in the hierarchy - each employee rises to, and remains at, his level of incompetence. Peter’s Corollary states: . “In time, employee duties.”
every post tends to be occupied who is incompetent to carry
by an out its
You will rarely find, of course, a system in which every employee has reached his level of incompetence. In most instances, something is being done to further the ostensible purposes for which the hierarchy exists. “Work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence.”

Consider the case of the late renowned General A. Goodwin. His hearty, informal manner, his racy style of speech, his scorn for petty regulations and his undoubted personal bravery made him the idol of his men. He led them to many well-deserved victories. When Goodwin was promoted to field marshal he had to deal, not with ordinary soldiers, but with politicians and allied generalissimos. He would not conform to the necessary protocol. He could not turn his tongue to the conventional courtesies and flatteries. He quarreled with all the dignitaries and took to lying for days at a time, drunk and sulking, in his trailer. The conduct of the war slipped out of his hands into those of his subordinates. He had been promoted to a postion that he was incompetent to fill. \

Some employees, like Ellipse and Cube, reach a level of incompetence in the lowest grade and are never promoted. Some, like Sphere (assuming he is not a satisfactory foreman), reach it after one promotion. E. Tinker, the automobile repair-shop foreman, reached his level of incompetence on the third stage of the hierarchy. General Goodwin reached his level of incompetence at the very top of the hierarchy. So my analysis of hundreds of cases of occupational incompetence led me on to formulate

Later, when your general foreman, Legree, moves up to Works Manager, Sphere will be eligible to taae his place. If, on the other hand, Sphere is an incompetent foreman, he will get no more promotion.

Hierarchiology and politics E HAVE SEEN HOW THE PETER PRINCIPLE operates in some simple hierarchies - school systems, factories, auto-repair shops and so on. Now let us examine the more complex hierarchies of politics and government. During one of my lectures a Latin-American student, Caesare Innocente, said, “Professor Peter, I’m afraid that what I want to know is not answered by all my studying. I don’t know whether the world is run by smart men who are, how you Americans say, putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it.” Innocente’s question summarizes the thoughts and feelings that many have expressed. Social sciences have failed to provide consistent answers. No political theorist so far has satisfactorily analyzed the workings of governments, or has accurately predicted the political future. The Marxists have proved as wrong in their analysis as have the capitalist theoreticians. My studies in comparative hierarchiology have shown that capitalistic, socialistic, and communistic systems are characterized by the same accumulation of redundant and incompetent personnel. Although my research is incomplete at this time, 1, submit the following as aninterim report. If funds are made available, I will complete my research on comparative hierarchiology. When this is done I intend to study universal hierarchiology. In any economic or political crisis, one thing is certain. Many learned experts will prescribe many different remedies.

Oxlea running scared -From Oxlea’s point of view, things have gone from good to bad to worse since Kitchener city council approved their development scheme on june 28. Through the efforts of Morley Rosenberg and the chevron, a widespread public debate was generated. The many open ends and careless planning evident in the scheme led to the formation of a citizens’ committee for a better county core, dedicated to carefully scrutinizing Oxlea’s proposal. The committee held a public meeting in Kitchener library july 14. The consensus among the citizens present was that the project had not received adequate examination. Many criticized the urban renewal’ committee’s attempt to keep the whole thing a secret until criticism would be futile. Since that meeting, a citizens’ petition and numerous private
letters of protest have been sent to the Ontario Municipal Board, requesting that it reject the development. Apparently unconcerned about the public uproar, Kitchener planning board neglected to publicize last friday’s OMB hearing for rezoning purposes. The change to a C4 zone necessary to the Oxlea scheme was prevented at the last minute by a protest from a concerned citizen who happened to hear of the meeting. The zoning bylaw now awaits further public debate. Tuesday evening, radio Waterloo and CHYM broadcast a debate among Kitchener planners, alderman Rosenberg, alderman Honsberger, and two representatives of the school of urban and regional planning. Again, the primary criticisms of the scheme were lack of public debate, inadequate financial amalysis, the

Where to go? - to do what? with whom? This summer offers more answers to these questions than ever before. Due to initatives taken by a whole variety of groups,K-W young people have more places to go, more to do and more people to do it with. Spurred on by apocalyptic visions of armies of unemployed youth swarming over the taxpayers’ countryside all three levels of government have produced myriad programs to keep kids off the streets and “constructively” employed - housed - informed. What has all this governmental activity meant for KitchenerWaterloo? In raw figures it equals over twenty-three opportunities for youth projucts at more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, a youth hostel, twelve drop-in centres, two SOLE’s, one SWEEP, one student summer job centre,

two youth workers, and much, much more. Put ‘all this together with privately funded programs, existing services and the innovative efforts of established groups and you have quite a package. Given that many of the funding programs were overcentralized and just “too little, too late”, it’s remarkable that most of these projects are really meeting community needs. It will be late fall before we can really get a comprehensive overview on just exactly what has happened this summer. Some questions have to be answered, and some of the answers have to reach the powers-that-be before plans are formalized for next summer. For example, what happens when dozens of activities and places “just to be” are run for eight or ten weeks during the best weather of
the year with outside financial assistance in a community which is then faced with the long, lean winter months and only its own limited resources? Regardless of what answers the future may bring, there is a startling variety of activity open to kids this summer. Arts, crafts, doit-yourself television, volunteer jobs, free’schools, camping, hitchhiking, as well as a fair range of services lined up to meet- any problems that may arise. Some of these activities and services are listed in this edition of the chevron. Keep it. It may be usefuf in’ thefuture. If this paper raises more questions than it answers, there’s somewhere to ask them - the Youth Information Trailer of the social planning council of Kitchener-Waterloo, Speaker’s Corner, King street east and Benton street.

conference
L,ast week, 18 severely physically handicapped people from -KitchenerWaterloc gathered at the university of Waterloo’s Village 1 to experience residence living. Most of those present suffered from cerebral palsy with resultant degrees of paralysis in one or more limbs. Many have problems with speech ranging from a strong stutter to incoherent vocalizations. The purpose of the week long conference was to simulate the conditions by which disabled persons would live in a communal residence. A staff of five students from architecture, business, english,’ recreation, and social work, are working under the opportunities for youth program to study ‘and report on the requirements for proposed residence. The report, it is hoped will form the basis for the construction of a building within a year or two which can house up to 25 handicapped persons. In an initial survey of the 200 known paraplegics in K-W, 17 persons from 18 to 42 years of age indicated a sincere interest in residence living. Many of the remainder, or those who care for them, took a wait-and-see attitude. If the residence is a success, it may have a waiting list soon after opening The residence coordinator is Ric Woods, a graduate student in social work and himself a victim of cerebral palsy. He points out that, at present, handicapped persons live either at home or in nursing homes. In both situations, there is little opportunity for a person to fully develop his social and emotional capabilities. Woods feels that the residence will provide that chance. Just as any youth, on ’ reaching the age of 18 or so, wants to get away from his family home, no matter how many comforts and conveniences it might offer, so too does the physically disabled. He has a need ,to meet and interact with others, both handicapped like himself and unhandicapped. Although he needs assistance in many everyday chores, he usually not require professional daily medical care. Thus the residence would provide an x. environment to fulfil1 certain intangible self -requirements without the unnecessary cost and discipline of the pseudo-hospital known as a nursing home. There are two residences for the disabled in Canada, one in Toronto and one
in Montreal. Bellewoods Park in Toronto is used by Woohs as an example-of what the Kitchener-Waterloo services for the physically disabled want to avoid. He feels Bellwoods is a glorified nursing home, an institution. The freedom and social comfort are lacking. By experimenting with a trial residence, he feels that they will be more able to define exactly what is needed. Society is at a point now where it can examine the effectiveness of programs which were started when the handicapped adults of today were children. The trial residence concept grew out of his examination of such programs. In the residence, it will be necessary to have some staff to take responsibility for some of the manual chores that are required. As far as possible, the residents will care for their own needs. But such commonplace tasks as eating or reading can be extremely difficult for some. Woods had a couple of feeding devices which would enable a spastic person to feed himself with gross arm movements. An assortment of page-turners, writing sticks, and leg and arm braces exist to facilitate movement. But generally these self-help aids are not available to the majority of those who need them. And many of the devices leave something to be desired in their design. He feels that there is much need for research in this area, particularly towards communication devices. However, because many of the solutions are fundamentally simple, he feels engineers feel it below themselves to work on the problems. It could also be that few engineers are aware of the problems faced daily by the physically disabled person. Village I was chosen for the trial residence because one block was specially designed to accommodate persons in wheelchairs. But the paraplegics found many things not quite suitable. For example: the cracks between concrete slabs on the walkways and on the ramps are too wide so that cane tips and chair wheels get caught, there was only one telephone available to them, the corridors are not quite wide enough, the mirrors in the washrooms are too high, the air conditioning is too noisy for those with major speech difficulties and much of the rest of the residence is cut off to them by stairs. In the Village, the staff have been experimenting with different sized rooms for various functions including arts and

exp-eriment Their handicapps are part of them, part of what makes them persons. And as such, it was apparent that they all had extraordinary senses of humour. They laughed at one another and themselves. One of the statements that broke the whole group up with laughter started with, “None of us are perfect...” How does a handicapped person initially feel when an unhandicapped person wants to get to know him? The very fact that this question was asked, indicated a degree of suspicion. They don’t want sympathy and they don’t trust “do-gooders” but they genuinely desire friends. But their friendships can be strained. They feel they are sensitive to human frailties. Times happen when they would like to tell someone, “Go to hell,” but have to stop to think; “How will I feel in 10 minutes? Maybe I will need his help. I don’t want to hurt a friendship over something small.” In short, they feel they can’t get angry without fear of losing their dependence. But, at the same time they respond to very small things. One chap nearly fell out of his wheelchair anytime his name was mentioned by Woods, the moderator of the discussion. Towards the end of the seminar, Ric Woods asked Ythis outsider for his observations on the gathering. There were many things I could have said but the overwhelming effect that came through was their ability to have fun together. They have a strong will power to overcome their physical handicapps and invariably quote doctors who said they would never walk or talk again. But more than anything, it occurred to me that the problems they had been discussing were not peculiar to them. It is true that they may be or seem magnified by their handicaps. but who doesn’t wonder about his abilities in marriage? Who hasn’t felt frustrations over ‘his inability to accomplish a certain task? Who doesn’t have the need for friends? Who doesn’t need a little encouragement to succeed? Who has never held back telling someone to go to hell because it is politically dangerous? And who doesn’t have the desire and need to associate with a wide variety of people and to learn social and emotional independence?.
crafts, seminars, and smaller social gatherings. The program for the week included workshops, discussions, lectures on educational topics, swimming, a shopping trip, an exercise session, creative drama, banquet and open-house, and a wheelchair dance. Although not on the schedule for the residence, Woods days that they . regularly go bowling and that swimming is a weekly event. The K-W services have a continuing program of education for the physically disabled. The residents decided their own program of activities during the week. In one seminar they decided they would like to talk about their own social and emotional problems. They each submitted a question for discussion, many on the theme of marriage. Some of the questions posed were: l What is marriage, is it necessary? Ghould a handicapped person marry? l Should he marry another handicapped person or an unhandicapped person? l Should they have children? l Could they live in the residence? During the discussion of these questions, it became obvious that many of the trial residents were not able to speak comfortably about sex and marriage, although they were all mentally competent. They laughed and giggled at one another and some had naive’ ideas about marriage. Many had experienced unrequited love and the prospect of marrying one’s nurse seemed like an obsession. This result cannot be blamed on them as individuals for surely it comes about by circumstance - never having had the opportunity before to communicate so freely with persons other than nurses, social workers psychologists and family. This is not to say that such people do not contribute to one’s education but merely that peer-learning is probably an important parameter in the total process. Nonetheless, many important points were made. They realized that it would be difficult to strike a balance in any marriage and that it is,necessary to look behind one’s physical handicapp to find his true personality. . One woman said of her disability, “I’m not proud of it but I’m not ashamed of it.”

Coffee% house for people The Tunnel In is a non-profit coffee house geared to people who are trying to get themselves and others into a better space and get things a little bit more together. At present it is open every day from noon to eleven at night except fridays and Saturdays when it stays open till midnight. On Saturday morning it opens at 9 am for those who are going to the market a few yards away., _ During the most part of this time one can procure a cold or hot drink and some sort of munchy while resting their head, talking with friends, listening to music, daydreaming, expounding their philosophies, smelling the flowers on the tables, conjuring up projects or just taking in the atmosphere of the coffee house itself. On friday and saturday nights live entertainment is provided as economically as possible. Folk, rock, blues, country funk and sometimes even a few classical licks are the sounds most often provided. The quality of the pkrformers may be shown by wheres and whats: recordings,
film work, CBC work, albums, Mariposa performances, Ontario Place acclaims.. . Everything the Tunnel In does is open to Luggestive criticism. Some ideas of what else it could get into are: informal health food cooking classes, free or street theater, hootjamsing nights where everyone could come and play, outdoor concerts and many other things. However, for these things to happen interested people are needed to help. At present for instance some people are trying to put togehter a big getitongetittogether community picnic with games and ice cream and bands, but they need people who can getoffonit to help put it together. If you are interested, talk to Hugh in the park or 107 Joseph street or Jeff at the Tunnel. If you want to suggest, help, ask, give, take, . .. go to or phone the Tunnel on Frederick street between King and Weber. Call 744-6507 and ask for Jeff Beckner. “Who knows, we may bring these cities to life yet,” claims Beckner who is responsible for the Tunnel.

is valid in this type of hierarchy, too. In a political party, as in a factory or an army, competence in one rank is a requisite for promotion to the next. A competent door-to-door canvasser becomes eligible for promotion; he may be allowed to organize a team of canvassers. The ineffective or obnoxious canvasser continues knocking on doors, alienating voters. A fast envelope stuffer may expect to become captain of an envelope-stuffing team; an incompetent envelope stuffer will remain, slowly and awkwardly stuffing envelopes, putting two leaflets in some, none in others, folding the leaflets wrongly, dropping them on the floor, and so on, as long as he stays with the party. A competent fund raiser may be promoted to the committee which nominates the candidate. Although he was a good beggar, he may not be a competent judge of men as lawmakers and may support an incompetent candidate. Even if a majority of the nominating committee consists of competent judges of men, it will select the candidate, not for his potential wisdom as a legislator, but on his presumed ability to win elections ! In bygone days, when great public -meetings decided the results of elections, and when public speaking was a high art, a spellbinding orator might hope for nomination by a party, and the best orator among the candidates might win the seat. But of course the ability to charm, to amuse, to inflame a crowd of ten thousand voters with voice and gesture did not necessarily carry with it the ability to think sensibly, to debate soberly and to vote wisely on the nation’s business. With the development of electronic campaigning a party may give its nomination to the man who looks best on TV. But the ability to impress-with the aid of makeup and lighting-an attractive image on a fluorescent screen is no guarantee of competent performance in the legislature. Many a man, under the old and the new systems, has made the upward step from candidate to legislator, only to achieve his level of incompetence.
forces to armed forces, are rigid hierarchies of salaried employees, and all are necessarily cumbered with incompetents who cannot do their existing work, cannot be promoted, yet cannot be removed. Any government, whether it is a democracy, a dictatorship, a communistic or free enterprise bureaucracy, will fall when its hierarchy reaches an intolerable state of maturity. (The efficiency of a hierarchy is inversely proportional to its Maturity Quotient, M.Q. MQ zz No. of employees at level of incompetence x 100 Total no. of employees in hierarchy Obviously, when MQ reaches 100, no usetul work will be accomplished at all.)
The situation is worse than-it used to be when civil service and military appointments were made through’favoritism. This may sound heretical in an age of equalitarianism but allow me to explain. Consider an imaginary country called Pullovia, where civil service examinations, equality of opportunity and promotion by merit are unknown. Pullovia has a rigid class system, and the high ranks in all hierarchies-government, business, the armed forces, the church--are reserved for members of the dominant class. You will notice that I avoid the expression “upper class” ; that term has unfortunate connotations. It is generally considered to refer to a class which is dominant by reason of aristocratic or genteel birth. But my conclusions apply also to systems in which the dominant class is marked off from the subordinate class by differences of religion, stature, race, language, dialect or political affiliation. It does not matter which of these is the criterion in Pullovia: the important fact is that the country has a dominant class and a subordinate class. This diagram represents a typical Pullovian hierarchy which has the classical pyramidal- structure

The legislature itself is a hierarchy. An elected representative who proves incompetent as a rankand-file member will obtain no promotion. But a competent rank-and-file legislator is eligible for promotion to a position of greater power - member of an important committee, committee chairman or, under some systems, cabinet minister. At any of these ranks, too, the promotee may be incompetent. So we see that the Peter Principle controls the entire legislative arm of government, from the humblest party worker to the holders of the loftiest elective offices. Each tends to rise to his level and each post tends in time to be occupied by someone incompetent to carry out its duties. It will be obvious to you by now that the Principle applies also to the executive-branch : government bureaus, departments, agencies and offices at the national, regional and local level. All, from police
insert The lower ranks - the area marked SC - are occupied by employees of the subordinate class. No matter how brilliant any of them may be, no one is eligible to rise above CB, the class barrier. The higher ranks - the area marked DC - are occupied by dominant-class employees. They do not start their careers at the bottom of the hierarchy, but at the level of the class barrier. Now, in the lower area, SC, it is obvious that many employees will never be able to rise high enough, because of the class barrier, to reach their level of incompetence. They will spend their whole careers working at tasks which they are able to do well. No
one is promoted out of area SC, so this area keeps, and continually utilizes, its competent employees. Obviously, then, in the lower ranks of the hierarchy, the maintenance of a class barrier ensures a higher degree of efficiency than could possibly exist without the barrier. Now look at area DC, above the class barrier. As we have already seen, an employee’s prospects of reaching his level of incompetence are directly proportional to the number of ranks in the hierarchy - the more ranks, the more incompetence. The area DC, for all practical purposes, forms a closed hierarchy of a few ranks. Obviously, then, many of its employees will never reach their level of incompetence. Moreover, the prospect of starting near the top of the pyramid will attract to the hierarchy a group of brilliant employees who would never have come there at all if they had been forced to start at the bottom. Look at the situation another way. The only effective way of increasing efficiency in a hierarchy is by the infusion of new blood at its upper levels. In most present-day systems, such infusion takes place at intervals, say after a reorganization, or during periods of rapid expansion. But in Pullovian hierarchies, it is a- continuous process: new employees are regularly entering at a high level, above the class barrier. Obviously, then, <n areas SC and DC, below and above the class barrier, Pullovian hierarchies are more efficient than those of a classless or equalitarian society.
Contemporary
class system
Before I am accused of recommending the establishment of a class system here, let me point out that we already have one. Its classes are based, not on birth, but on the prestige of the university which one has attended. For example, a graduate of Harvard is referred to as “A Harvard Mai?’ but a graduate of Outer Sheepskin College is not referred to as “A Sheepskin Man.” In some hierarchies, the graduate of the obscure collage-no. matter how competent he may be - does not have the same opportunities for promotion as the graduate of the prestigious establishment. The situation is changing. There is a strong trend toward making university graduation a prerequisite for more and more positions, even in the lowest ranks of certain hierarchies. This should increase the promotion potential of all degree holders, and therefore diminish the class value of the prestige degree. My personal studies of this phenomenon are incomplete, due to that most lamentable dearth of funds, but I will hazard a prediction that with every passing year, each university graduate will have greater opportunities for reaching his level of incompetence, either in private employment, or in government .

hasjnally made it. The capitalist oppressors must face guerilla Here the elite corps of the tiny tot brigade puts on an offensive:
‘People p&,Jtion’ Those’ of us who are deeply concerned about population and the. environment-“econuts,” we’re called-are accused -of seeing herbicides in trees, pollution in running brooks, radiation in rocks, and overpopulation everywhere. There is merit in the accusation. I was in Calcutta when the cyclone’ struck East Bengal in November 1970. Early dispatches spoke of 15,000 dead, but the estimates rapidly escalated to 2,000,00o and then dropped back to 500,000. A nice round number: it will do as well as any, for we will never know. The nameless ones who died, “unimportant” people far beyond the fringes of the social power. structure, left no trace of their existence. Pakistani parents repaired the population loss in just 40 days, and the world turned its attention to other matters. What killed those unfortunate people? The cyclone, newspapers said. But one can just as logically say that overpopulation killed them. The Gangetic delta is barely above sea level. Every year several thousand people are killed in quite ordinary storms. If Pakistan were not overcrowded, no sane man would bring his family to such a place. Ecologically speaking, a delta belongs to the river and the sea; man obtrudes there at his peril: In the web of life every event has many antecedents. Only by an arbitrary decision can we designate a single antecedent as “cause.” Our choice is biasedbiased to protect our egos against the onslaught of unwelcomed truths. As T.S. Eliot put it in Burnt ’ Nsrton;
Go, go, go, said the bird: human kind Cannot bear very much reality. Were we to ‘identify overpopulation as th@?cause of a halfmillion deaths, we would threaten ourselves with a question to which we do not know the answer: How can we control mpulation without

forting. Every year we list tuberculosis, leprosy, enteric diseases, or animal parasites as the “cause of death” of millions of people. It is well known that malnutrition is an important antecedent of death in all these ca tegoriie ; and that malnutrition is connected with overpopulation. But overpopulation is not called the cause of death. We cannot bear the thought. People are dying now of respiratory diseases in Tokyo, Birmingham, and Gary, because of the “need” for more industry. The “need” for more food justifies overfertilization of the land, leading to eutrophication of the
waters, and lessened fish production - which leads to more “need” for food. What will we say when the power shuts down some fine summer on our eastern seaboard and several thousand people die of heat prostration?. Will we blame the weather? Or the power companies for not building enough generators. 3 Or the econuts for insisting on pollution controls? One thing is certain: we won’t blame the deaths on overpopulation. No one ever dies of overpopulation. It is unthinkable. Garret Ilardin is a professor at the university Barbara,

reconsidered “When we were students, back home, after the Russian invasion, we were forced to study and pass exams on Marxism and Leninism or forget our diplomas. That was the time when Russian professors did their best to convince us that the societies of the capitalistic world were so rotten that before long they would fall into the hands of the Communists like the ripe apples that fall into the basket of the good farmer. Now things actually seem like he said. For the sake of the dollar, the oath of citizenship, love of our homeland, and honour of an elementary decent person go down the drain. Things that every Russian is taught to die for, at any moment, without blinking an eye. Not only government secrets go down the drain but dollars are made by further smearing the face of America for actions practiced by every country in the world. Any man or woman from Soviet Russia would crawl on his hands and knees to America if given the slightest chance, not to mention the people of Biafra and Pakistan. But for an American who lives his life like a king from the Arabian Nights, if not better, his own country has to be despised, if not betrayed. If printing such documents is called free speech then what is delivering such documents to one enemy or to all at the same time?
Postwar immigrants are often told about living in a free country. You can do anything you want to do? Not at all. There are many minor things disregarded by european law but not in american countries. Here things are done that one would pay with one’s head in many parts of the world, but in America it becomes big play for big time politicians. Wasn’t the last world war the same type of game? What was the difference for the European countries between Hitler and Stalin? Isn’t Korea or Vietnam an outcome of the war? Who gave the power to Russian Communism that America had to stop later? America had to stop Russia and she did.Russia hasn’t been happy since that time but she knows that A there are other ways. Americans are forced to fight their political merceraries right at home, who are good Americans but are ridiculously naive students of ‘history and geography. Many do not like to see America fight andr win. Not long ago the Jews of Europe were for the Russians too. It is known that some Czechs kissed the boots of marching Russian soldiers, and the rest did believe in Russian communists but did not have a chance to know them and their red czars. By now they know all them and don’t like it a bit. But what a price to pay !
I dislike hiding. Honestly. I dislike the superficial game I’m playing, the superficial phony. I’d really like to be genuine and spontaneous and me, but you’ve got to help me. You’ve got to hold out your hand even when that’s the last thing I seem to want or need. Only you can wipe away from my eyes the black stare of breathing dead. Only you can call me into ALIVENESS. Each time you’re kind and gen,tle and encouraging; each time.you try to understand because you really care, my heart begins to grow wings, very small wings. With your sensitivity and your power of understanding, you can breathe life into me. Now you can be the creator of the person that is me if you choose to. Please choose to. -anonymous
