commune issue simmering ciguin by Dale Bender the chevron One suggestion as to possible insurance against such usage of welfare money was suggested by MI-. john Birnstihl the Kitchener wfllfare department administrator. The suggestion was to withold welfare cheques until the is given assurance clepartnient that people receiving the cheques who are involved in drugs and alcohol are seeking help. While it is commendable to wish for those persons who have personal problems with drugs or alcohol to find help, to take and to apply and enforce that measure suggested upon persons receiving welfare who are suspected of overindulgence would be at best a totalitarian move which would result first not recuperation of those in the individuals but, more easily, in their starvation. The fact that communes have become in some ways a new aspect in the “welfare cycle” has been noted by the city hall, but that the blame has been directed only at communalists has been a gross mis-interpretation and injustice to those people honestly seeking employment. The cycle often begins when a mother is suddenly left alone as the sole parent to support a family. Such mothers invariably find it difficult to obtain a job or are unable to handle a job while _ raising a family.
The commune issue, which raged so strongly in Kitchener-Waterloo at the start of this year, has recently been raised again. comConflicts between munalists and the city and neighbours seem to have been reinvigorated. For example in august, 73, single persons were taken from the welfare rolls in Kitchener, most of them young and many of whom live-in communes. Ki tchener’s mayor Recently, McLennan suggested that many of the welfare recipients “are obviously getting the money to buy drugs and alcohol from the and noted Lt’c’lfar-e payments”, that m a ny people turther receiving welfare are Iivin$ their own lifestyles at the taxpayer’s expense. The city hall then, seetns to be working in part through the the welfare department on assumption that in cases where money is given to persons living in communes the money is being abused.
In such cases the mothers would draw a “mother’s allowance” from welfare, half of the total amount going for shelter and the remainder to be used for food, clothing, utilities and personal requirements. The mother’s allowance fluctuates as to the number of dependants in the house. In certain instances sons and daughters have been forced out of school because of expenses and have. then caused a drop in the amount their mother receives, thus putting the welfare- home on a tighter budget. A few welfare mothers spoken to, told of how their sons or daughters had finally decided to move out of the house so that their mother’s allowance cheques would not be “docked” because of their being out of school and unemployed. In these particular cases the mother’s children now live in houses with other people sharing the expenses to live. Living in a commune and being without a job, the one boy has had to apply for welfare since he could not find a job and could
not apply for retraining unless he had worked for three years. The mother explained at the time how if she had received half of what her son receives now on her mother’s allowance cheque she could have kept him in school, thereby breaking the welfare cycle rather than continuing it. A sim‘ilar case is that of a sixteen-year-old Kitchener girl now in a house with four others on King st. east. Her name was withheld from the rolls of Cameron Heights collegiate institute where she was to register at the start of this month. The vice-principal informed the girl that this was being done until either she returned to live with her mother or until she was granted welfare. The administration of the school expressed that before she would be admitted she should be living with a responsible person, preferably her mother. However the mother who receives a “mother’s allowance” does not want her daughter home, nor does the daughter wish to go, and the mother is alread hard-pressed to supply for the girl’s brothers and sisters. Not able to satisfy the school with living at home, Cindy moved in with her friends and applied for welfare aid in able to return to school but was turned down by .her counsellors.
Birnitihl, when asked about such a case as this, replied to the effect that the welfare department works closely with the public school system and they have mutually decided that a person living in a commune should not receive welfare because there is, not a resp&-tsible adult in the house. He said the situation of a commune would not be conducive for the person attending high school to do the necessary homework; therefore, the application for welfare aid was unacceptable. ln response to the question as to what possible alternatives there were for the girl, Birnstihl said that first she must find a home apprdpriate to their (the school’s and the welfare dept’s) liking. This girl is now not only unable to go back to school for her business and computer processing training but is jobless and virtually destitute, save for the assistance of friends. Clearly, this shows a lack of concern by the city for such young persons needing assistance. (see commune

Seeming to correspond with the start of this fall term, there has been more expressed awareness about communal and co-op housing situations near the university and throughout the Twin City area, especially by those persons who find one in their neighbourhood. Attention at Waterloo city hall has lately been focussed in particular on a house near Westmount Plaza which has been occupied by three successive groups of persons who have lived in what is known as the ‘communal’ style. The house is in a quiet neighbourhood surrounded by single family dwellings, and is therefore within residential zoning bylaws. The law permits a family unit plus three boarders in Waterloo while the bylaw for a residential area in Kitchener allows a maximum of five un-related persons in a single dwelling. The commune mentioned above, having a married couple and three to five others living in, is sometimes within the law and sometimes not, being usually in a state of flux. Almost three weeks ago a neighbour brought up the issue of the commune at the Waterloo city council meeting and asked about the lack of enforcement of the zoning bylaw. Donald Scott, chief city planner of Waterloo, replied that there wasn’t the manpower to enforce the bylaw, and that if it were to be enforced in all of Waterloo, thousands of students would be put out of a place to stay. Different attempts to agitate enforcement of the bylaw in this case have been brought to the city’s attention over the past few years. The first was the iss.ue of noise pollution by the first group living there, which included a band. The second was a parking problem, with cars in the way of snow plows. Now, finally, the complaint is being focused

directly on city hall by the neighbour to enforce the existing residential zoning bylaw, which would permit communes under their registration as rooming houses. According to the neighbour the argument seems not to concern the lifestyle of the present occupants, but rather a question of the legality of the situation. Asked about the possibility of enforcement of the zoning bylaws in the near .future, Doug Morrison, assistant planner in Waterloo, sees little that will or can be done in terms of the number of persons living in a house. Specific cornpaints of extreme cases where there is a question of health conditions or such problems as noise or parking are dealt with either through the building department or the police. The only direct concern with with the planning department is that the number of persons living in a certain area must be

accommodated by the public utilities for that area. Morrison sees no real possibility that the utilities wouldn’t suffice due to the number of communes in an area. When complain& are made, a procedural letter is sent to the owner of the building and any action is left to him. Morrison said the main concern about communes among people in Waterloo city hall is that of those landlords who evade repaying the tax rebate, from rental of the house, to the occupants. While the overall concern with communes in the Twin Cities does not appear too menacing, there are several ways in which they have been “legitimately” pressured. The most common forms are by the raising of rents, “adjustment” of money the allotted to welfare recipients living in communes, the attitudes of neighbours, and harrassment by the police, often in the form of drug raids and surveillance.

Salaries, pensions, grants,, student loans, summer jobs, deals, ripoffs; what have you? Money. Are you well heeled? Is your heart going to give out before your gut does? The best exercise is walking. Are you well heeled? Wait a minute! Two topics and one paragraph do not go with the rules. One, money and one working, makes two unless of course it makes more. These two add up to more. They add up to millions. Miles for Millions. Miles for Millions wants money. Getting your money from you is a rat race. There is now another rat race. The walk course has been set up as a five mile circuit that you can cover over and over, as many times as your heels can take. Point of interest, the course is set right here, around and around the campus. A good day has been picked, Sat. Oct. 2. Perhaps you think you can do
without this rat race. It will be hard on your heels, the gold and the flesh ones. There are too many people, however, who find the everyday rat race too much. They cannot get enough to eat. These people are helped by Canadian Save the Children, Oxfam, Canadian Unicef, K-W Overseas Direct Aid, and the Combined Appeal for Pakistani Relief. These organizations are in ’ turn helped by Miles for Millions, who need your help. You can help by walking. You need a form to register your sponsors. The Gazette has a list of where to get the forms. If you missed the list here.it is again, the Campus Center desk, the registrar’s office, either library, housing office, the residence offices and the Engineering General Studies office.

This coalition is sponsored by a number of prominent individuals, but the decision-making is left up to a board consisting entirely of women. An educational seminar on the suffragette movement was given to provide an introduction to the history of the struggle of the

The Waterloo soccer squad showed up on Columbia field at high noon last Saturday for a showdown, but macmaster was nowhere in sight. Two hours later the hamilton team appeared, rearing to go, but the Waterloo opponents had left along with the officials. After apologies and discussions, the coaches decided to let the final decision rest in the hands of the athletic directors of both universities.

Colin decided that he was somewhat inadequate as a male since his rate of seduction was far less than that of Tolen‘s. Tom, however, seemed unconcerned with Tolen‘s boasting and in a mocking way encouraged Tolen’s self-deification.

East whole. And it sounds like the band spends about 48 hours a day playing together. The two lead guitarists follow each other tied tightly through some licks that most guitar players would have trouble navigating alone, and the two drummers get together for breaks which are so tight and so much a part of the song that you hardly miss the rest of the band. The album closes with a 2% minute version of Greg Allman’s Whipping Post (side 4). They pull out all the stops and do just about everything you’d want except the dishes. we energy level throughout is almost higher than you can stand, including a segment where they get downright spacey.

According to current hype, the Allman Bros. Band just plain plays good; after listening to this record it’s evident that the hype is just plain right. If you’re unfamiliar with them, the Allmans are anyone heavy you can think of, plus good taste well administered and a level of musicianship so high and so constant that it’s almost ridiculous. Their origins are in the deep south, which becomes evident when they play blues, which they do with an authority most bands can only envy. They respect tradition too, which becomes especially important when playing in a form as traditional as the blues. This respect is amply demonstrated on side 1,. which features Allman Bros.

Into this situation walked a young girl. She looked somewhat anemic. due in nart to the harsher lighting that was a leftover from the Octoberfest pageant. She was sidetracked on her way to the YWCA and became an instructional instrument for Tolen to teach to Colin “how to deal with women”, Colin was an enthusiastic learner of the dominant technique and was happy whether participating or watching Tolen practice. The eventual conflict did not develop until the end of the play when it was a question of either Tolen’s reputation or Colin’s manhood. Tom moved throughout the play as a casual observer, instigator of fantasies and deliverer of wit. Tom did not recognize Tolen’s superiority and this irked Tolen to the extent of promising Colin, also landlord, sexual adventures in return for the expulsion of Tom. Nancy enjoyed the attention she was receiving. She relized that she was a pawn in some game and took the initiative by claiming that she was raped during a fainting spell. She accused Tolen, then Colin of the act. Colin, the rapist, was a . novel idea to Colin, the unpretentious, and provided him with the impetuous drive to claim the girl at the end of the play. Un. fortunately, Colin succeeded by being more dominant than his teacher; he had acquired the knack.

Enthused after a win on- the track in Hamilton the day before, coach Arthur Taylor took his cross country warriors to Guelph for a five team competition on Saturday. The pleasant five mile course was familiar to many of the runners and ineligible warrior Python Northey took the lead from the gun. Dan Anderson fell in behind the Waterloo leader and these two runners continued a warrior domination for the first half of the race. At the half-way mark, Anderson made a wrong turn and found himself a few hundred yards away from the rest of the field. After a gallant effort to get back in the race, he rejoined the pack only to be twenty seconds behind his former position and occupying third place. The other nine Waterloo runners were not too far off the pace and

easily within striking distance of most of the field. As the field spread out during the final mile, Northey maintained his lead and finished almost a minute and a half ahead of second place. Anderson drove towards the finish line and made up all but six seconds of his lost time to finish third only a few strides behind second place. Ineligible waterl.oo runners finished first, seventh and thirteenth. Even without this aid, the warriors took the team championship by five points from the hosting Guelph team. Dan Anderson, Peter Oliver, Jon Arnett, Mike Kajne and Nigel Strothard finished 2, 5, 7, 8 and 12 respectively to score 34 points for the warrior win. In their next outing on Saturday, the Waterloo squad hope to meet the western crew which should post some stiff competition.
which is listed as a warriorsmustangs dual should give coach Arthur Taylor a good idea of what to expect from the western crew this season. Many of the warriors, however, will be missing from this bout which continue the may psychological battle between the two teams. Neither is willing to allow a full showing of their strength to the other and in this way no one will know the full strength of the teams until the championships next month. One example is the warrior sprint relay team which has Humphries, McGann, Murray and Neeland as members. The latter three of these competitors have. run together during the summer months and were three-quarters of the team which posted the fastest relay time in the country this year, except, of course, for the national team. They have not showed up in meets for Waterloo ‘and intend to hold off for another two meets. The former pessimism which gloomed on the horizon of the team is being replaced by a guarded optimism as the team sees a possible repeat of the last three years as a bright ray to spur on their training.
drop third passing game. He was good on 9 of 19 passing attempts including a 38 yard pass to John Waddell and a 25 yarder to Stu Lang, both good for touchdowns. Peter Bedford played an excellent game for the warriors going both ways for a good part of the game, catching three passes and picking off one Queen’s aerial. The warriors got beaten by a good football team but a couple of untimely and frustrating mistakes helped make Queen’s job a lot easier. .% . On Wednesday the warriors are in action against the Windsor lancers, who defeated them 6-O in the first game of the season and in the Queen’s game the warriors showed sign of putting everything together, if they can play 60 mihutes without turning the ball over quite so many times thes they could win number one.

BiIIy Jack
Billy Jack, presently playing at the Fairview Cinema, is an extremely adaptable film ; it can be disliked by almost anyone for almost any reason. And, anyone who finds themselves liking it should be prepared to defend themselves on several levels. Billy Jack can validly be accused of youth exploitation, amateurish acting, erratic direction and a muddled political statement. All of these may or may not be true on a balance-sheet, and none of them keep the film from being highly entertaining and stimulative. The film, set in the american southwest, is the story of Billy Jack, a half breed, ex-green beret who has taken upon himself the responsibility of protecting the Indians and an uns true tured “freedom school” from the townspeople who view the long-haired youths as hippies and communists. Billy Jack first appears in the movie to save .a herd of wild mustangs from slaughter by white townspeople. Billy has no hesitation about using violent means to obtain what he thinks is right, a belief which is in complete opposition to the ideals the school tries to teach. The important question through out the movie is whether pacifism and peaceful resistance can halt evil and it is never comple tely answered. Billy Jack is obviously presented here as a more-than-human symbol of those who feel they should never initiate violence, but also feel no qualms about lashing back mercilessly at those who attack them.

heralding the arrival of in town told us the film would reveal many aspects of the drug world that have not been seen even on documentaries. In a way, this was true; unfortunately, these newly-revealed aspects were a bit too far out to be real. Junkies aren’t quite like that. The setting: Needle Park, an intersection in New York city on the west side. It received its infamous nickname years ago when the area became a well-known hangout for junkies. A “panic” is a shortage of heroin in a particular areaThe plot: boy meets girl, they fall in love; they shoot smack (lots of needle close-ups,ooh, dig those veins, shoot ‘em up, zzzzoop. . .ahhh, far out), they get mad, happy, mad again, more junk (more close-ups), happy, sad...The EndThe characters : Helen and Bobby mostly, their spaced-out friends, a little dope now and then, and a with-it narc who tries to be compassionate. Helen is a middle class aspiring artist from Indiana (Illinois? 1. We never really understand her as a character, why she falls so easily and almost complacently into prostitution and addiction, or even why she hangs out with Bobby, a small-time thief, junkie and pusher. She meets his friends (burglars, prostitutes, in Needle

pimps and junkies, hard-core, down and out) ’ and smiles sweetly, almost warmly, somewhat in the manner of a spaced-out Katherine Ross. Al Pacino as Bobby gives a fine performance, the only bright spot in the film. Cocky, desparate, in love, betrated, he is always believable, somewhat like a strung-out Dustin Hoffman (really). Pacino grew up around Needle Park, and his accents and gestures are just right. Many of the other characters seemed too StereotypedUn the dark, all you junkies look alike). Their roles entailed little more than showing off their veins (far out! . ..I and waiting for the rushes. The hoped-for realism falls down, however, in the way the characters relate to each other and to their dope. The junkie on the street lives a desparate and precarious existence. His life consists of figuring out how to get heroin, shooting it up and getting more heroin. By the end of the movie, Helen was shooting over 80 dollars a day. A junkie’s main concern is his next fix and how to get it; apart from that, nothing is of any concern. Helen just couldn’t take her dope seriously enough. William Burroughs sets down thre basic
principles on which the pyramid of junk is built. They could also be applied to any business: o Never give anything away for nothing. o Never give more than you must give. l Always take everything back if at all possible. During a panic when junk is scarce, people get desparate and careless. They get busted and are forced to turn in their friends (“During the panic, they all rat. . . .sooner or later.“). Helen finally turned in Bobby, but not for those reasons. Overall, the film was a big down. It didn’t make any understandable points. And it certainly didn’t have much aesthetic value. New York is an ugly town at best and this was far from the best. We couldn’t really understand why it was made. It didn’t really contribute’ to any understanding of smack addiction. There was no reason or insight into Helen’s addiction, or why the people in Needle Park stayed there. On the other hand, speed freaks would appear to be really well off compared with the Needle Park gang (“You always feel a little better, y’know, when you see somebody who’s got it worse than you” - Arlo Guthrie) But think of the Last Guy.
The movie opens at a blossoming point, where a trip to town and a bottle of wine bring them close, and open to each other, and the potential for fulfillment in that relationship seems very rich and good. The unfolding of the movie is the disintegration of that potential, as it is brought about by the flaws in their characters, and the unnatural pressures of catastrophe and horror. The event external to them is an unnamed war, that affects them at first as people whose fortunes and circumstances have been radically altered, then as people under threat of disaster, then as victims of combat, and finally as participants in the grisliest of horror tales. After their home is destroyed, they wind up cast adrift in a boat surrounded by floating bodies. It is Jan who changes. A wholly external infidelity on the part of Eva brings him to act decisively in a situation for perhaps the first time in his life, and certainly for the first time in the movie. It is an act of passion, of jealousy, of an intense awareness, all of a sudden, of his wife. But it’s like the flash of a light bulb when it burns out. The transformation from the warm and real, to the ironic, to the macabre, in the tone of the movie is matched by the transformation of Jan from a man equipped only to play the violin to a man eqlsipped only to survive. But the thought occurs at the end when the impassive, stony face of Jan looks past Eva while she continues to talk to him about her’ dreams and reactions, that perhaps the dif-
ference between a man who doesn’t seem to feel, and one who is beyond feeling, is only one of degree. That Jan is no different in his relationship to the woman who loves him than he ever was. Despair seems to be the trademark of Ingmar Bergman. Or at least that’s the feeling I’ve always left his movies with. Despair and awe, because I’m convinced that nobody puts a movie together more perfectly. These characters are magnificently complex, and beautiful. Close-up shots of Eva as she simply thinks or sees or talks give you the kind of scrutiny you usually reserve for someone you love, so you find that you love her. Long shots allow you to see whole chains of events as they affect several people whose reactions you are getting into. Settings like the crowded antique shop, with its attitude of useless preciousness, the stark table where the infidelity of Eva unfolds like a panel discussion, the rocky plain Eva runs out into when she realizes that Jan is past reaching, lend such strong and perfect moods to the scenes. There is something unforgettable about an Ingmar Bergman scene, like a recurring dream. Shame was part of an excellent triple hitter presented for campus viewing by federation of students. The program they have set up for this year is exceptional for its quality. If you enjoy movies, get a federation movie time table and be prepared for some pleasant surprises.
Bird
is a movie about three things: two human beings, their relationships and the larger events shaping their lives: and about how those things work on each other. The two human beings are Jan and Eva Rosenberg,. ex-musicians living on a farm. Jan is a man almost totally stranded in the country, as if he’d trained so completely to be a musician he was incapable of being anything else. His sensibilities are ill-equipped to deal with his emotions in other ways. If circumstances had been different, it would have been easy to see him approaching middle-age in the city, having carved for himself a little niche, and settling comfortably into it. As it is, he’s completely out of his element, and evidences of it are a wrapped-up self-centeredness, and a tendency to fall apart under any strain. Eva, on the contrary, is at home anywhere, because her strength and love of life drive her to look for meaning in whatever situation she’s in. If music had been one way for her to reach people at one time, she’s not hampered by the loss of it. She’s intensely involved with herself and the changes life brings on her. She grows impatient with the floundering Jan, flares up, and becomes as instantly sorry. While Jan seems incapable of coming to any kind of conclusion, or comprehension, she reacts strongly and immediately, then reflects. She makes mistakes, she regrets, but she acts. Their relationship is full of contradictions. Shame

the snake ceremony in which he permits a rattlesnake to bite him as often as it wants. He lives through this ordeal through use of his Indian medicine bag and returns to bring a message that young white people have much to learn from the Indians. But we never see any of this learning in the film. The villains seem to be a bit too evil to be believable and one, Bernard, played by David Roya, gives out conflicting signals. At the beginning it appears that he -might stand up to his father (he refuses to shoot mustangs) but no, he turns out to be as bad as the rest, and you are left wondering what that one scene was all about. The K-W Record’s film critic, Walter Hordichuk put down Billy Jack on almost all counts, dwelling on the children in the freedom school, whom he characteristically tagged as “liberated young brats” and “disturbed young radicals .” But then, Walter, who is all too often prevented from writing a real review by his own fantasy-laden sexual hang-ups, can’t be taken very seriously as a critic, especially when the films address themselves to persons and situations outside his own limited lifestyle experiences. The photography is often excellent and always visually attractive, the acting is so good (or so bad) that you often forget you’re watching actors and the screenplay is intriguingly adept at being perceptive while appearing simple. You may disagree with its politics, but its hard to put down its clear statement of future alternatives for an increasingly polarized society.

Panic
His character is the complete opposite of Jean, the Joan-Baez-like head of the freedom school. Jean sticks steadfastly to the idealism of the turn-the-other-cheek stream of pacifism. Throughout the film, the freedom school and its members are attacked and threatened by various adversaries. Each of these situations is met either by Billy’s violence (which is always justified in the film) or by Jean’s non-violent means. It seems entirely possible that director T.C. Frank (really Delores Taylor, who plays Jean) meant for Billy and Jean to be representations of the two sides of man : the violent, emotionled, and the more rational, idealistic. But both characters come off as more than just representations. Taylor, in fact, makes Jean one of the most refreshingly authentic and humane personalities to appear on the screen for a long time. Some of the most brilliant scenes in the film occur when the students stage guerilla theatre in the town and aIso engage two of the town council in acting out roles. ,The comedy is natural and well-timed and appears as unstructured as guerilla theatre is supposed to be. Tom Laughlin plays Billy Jack as a cool-onthe-surface-though-smoldering-underneath character. Although Billy Jack is supposed to be half Indian, Laughlin unfortunately has no Indian physical characteristics, which appears to be another testament to the prevailing Hollywood belief that white men can portray Indians better than Indians themselves. And although Billy is supposedly living on the reservation, learning from the people, most of his concern seems to be with the school. There is also some doubt about the validity of
