fOrices budget f reeze

The university of Waterloo operating budget may be cut by as much as 600,000 dollars in grants and fees, but president Burt Matthews does not expect any university programs to be seriously affected. The cuts, Matthews said friday during a regular press conference, are a result of the decreased enrolments which have hit virtually every college and university in the province. Matthews stressed that there decreases” in were few “real Ontario universities, but that many have fallen short of projected increases based on past years. “But there isn’t any question that our income is going to be less this year than we had hoped for,” he conceded. “We’re going to have to make some significant changes in the budget soon. ” A freeze on spending in the university had already been announced early last week.

Matthews estimated that it would take “probably a month” before the real income for this term will be known and the budget unfrozen. He explained that no cutback in any programs is foreseen, due to built-in “unallocated funds” in each department, most of which can be taken away without touching funds for existing programs. Faculty for this year has been hired to accomodate the projected number of stud,ents, the number which fell short of expectations. Those “extra” instructors who

have already been hired will be kept on, said Matthews, while unfilled positions will be “frozen” f$r now. The failure of the projections, he pointed out, seems not to be a decrease in freshmen entering the university, but the fact that upperclassmen and grad students are not returning to the schools. The projected freshman enrolment for this fall, Matthews said, was 3,539. As of October 14th, 3,589 freshmen had actually enrolled. Matthews

Last year, the freshman enrolment topped the projected figure by about 200, leaving a “buffer” for the decrease in returning grads. This year, no buffer is appearing, and the trend of losing grad students seems to be continuing. Matthews guessed that the grad drop-off rate may be due to the fact that students are staying with

The an,hropology club allegedly was so ntimidated by McPhee that they mefused to spend their 200 dollar srant. “I feel I must account for the sloppy work last year,” says Benevoy, who also states a professional accountant has been hired to balance last year’s books. Benovoy says he has spent 300 dollars of his own money to pay for secretaries and stationary.

to dominate

by Barry Brown the chevron

Norman Van Hatten, vicepresident of Sayvette, limited, announced that his company is “determined to be dominant in this area,” at the opening of the Sayvette store at westmount place. , The new store opened last thursday, October 7th. Three more stores are planned for downtown Kitchener, Guelph, and Galt. Expansion of the Waterloo store will occur “when sales rise to a certain number’ of dollars per square foot,” said Van Hatten. “I hope it happens next year.” Sayvette is partially owned by George Weston ltd, the same company which has controlling interests in the local Zehrs markets ltd through Loblaws. Judging from its name, one might assume that the Sayvette store would- be offering merchandise at discount prices. However, its merchandise ranges in price and quality from typical discount house fare up to what you

convktecf

might expect at a Simpson-Sears or Eatons store. Prices were not usually found to be lower than would be found at an Eatons store when comparisons were . _actually_ made, but tended to be about the same. One store employee took note of instances found where’ any Sayvette prices were higher, presumably so that they could be brought into line. The same employee expressed considerable concern that uniwat students not get an unfavourable impression of the store, and stated that they intend to cater to students to a large degree. On the second floor of the, store is a section of budget clothing. While it- is unlikely that these same brands of clothes are cheaper at Sayvette than, anywhere else, there are some items of clothing which are quite inexpensive. While the name of the store then is not truly an accurate indication of their prices, the store does offer merchandise in a fairly broad scale of prices.

Taping for the program Under Attack takes place October 20th, 21st in the theatre of the arts. Doors open at 6:30pm and taping starts at 7: @pm each night. For those unfamiliar with the program it consists of the following people. First there is the guest, thoughtfully provided by Under Attack, and chosen because he or she represents some hopefully contemporary and controversial issue. Directing questions to the guest are members of a three person panel chosen from interested uniwat students. Following a question period from the panelists, the moderator will encourage audience participation for the remainder of the program. Refereeing the program will be the moderator, Fred Davis, who tells us that it’s time out for a commercial when a foul has been committed and that they will be. right back. Two shows each night will be taped for future airing on national television. On Wednesday the first guest will be Laurie Lea Schaeffer, current Miss America 1972 from Columbia Ohio. Schaeffer, a recent graduate of Ohio state university, has been involved in the theatre as an actress and singer. Her views on the status of women in corntemporary society are traditional, conservative and I establishment oriented. An in-

teresting requirement of the Miss America title is the signing of a contract stating that no opinionswill be expressed as Miss America. The guest for the second show will be Otto Lang, presently federal minister of immigration and manpower. Unemployment and the current immigration laws will probably be the main issues debated. On thursday evening the first guest will be John Todd, a member of the Vietnam veterans for a just peace, a pro-war organization. Todd supports the classic right-wing hawk position, an ideology which is growing more difficult to support, and is rapidly losing adherents even among right wing politicians in the US.. The second guest will be Germain Greer, a popular feminist author from Great Britain. Her latest book, The Female Eunuch was recently a best seller. Greer says that women should refuse to marry, marriage is a joke and that children should be raised in a commune type environment.

An Iroquoian seminar has been planned by the institute of Iroquoian studies for Saturday october 23, at the theatre of the arts. The main function of the institute is to disseminate information about the Iroquois through speakers and seminars. Indian youth is the theme for the morning session and native women’s rights the theme for the afternoon. Speakers include Kahn-Tineta Horn, executive director of the indian defence committee and an avid supporter of native women’s rights and Clay Ruby, the attorney who represented Jeanette Corbiere Lava11 in her recent court case about the status of an Indian woman married to a nonindian. Willie Dunn, filmmaker and folk singer, will show his latest film which is an expose of the Hudson’s bay company. It will be shown at 3 :45 in the theatre of the arts. Ruby will speak at 1:50 and Kahn-Tineta Horn at 2:15. Registration for the day long seminar will take place from 8: 00 to 9 :00 am at the theatre of the arts.

Female

Germine Greer is a beautiful woman. She also calls herself a feminist. After the publication of her book The Female Eunuch, the rr?,& recent addition to the incredible epidemic of feminist literature now appearing, the media men have claimed her to fill the required media image of feminist ‘star’. She is a 32 year old Australian with a P.h.d. in English, from Cambridge, described as “brilliant, liberated and hip.” The book is a good introduction for those uninitiated to the principles behind women’s liberation. She writes entertainingly, with a lively wit and provocative adventurism. The title, The Female Eunuch is derived from the author’s thesis that women have no sex at all. “Sexuality is ’ both denied and misrepresented by being identified ‘as passivity.. .The characteristics that are praised and rewarded are those of the castrate-timidity, plumpness, languor, delicacy...” In Dr. Greer’s opinion, women are not only still in bondage to men but are deformed by them, (thus the use .-.of the word eunuch usually referring to a castrated male.) Her intellectual arguments are hardly new but may be found in any number of books available 02 the market today. Her real contribution is a vivacious personality and enthusiasm which personalizes the women’s liberation for-those who may still be asking in mystification “What do those women want anyway?” However, there is a catch, or at least a weakness in her position. ,She has been falsely proclaimed the ‘high priestess’ of the women’s movement and in actuality has no

real connections with any women’s organization. So who cares? In carkful read&g of her book, one can pull out indications of her attitude towards women which can hardly be considered feminist. Throughout history there have always been a few women who have ‘made it’ in the male world. Her success in this sense partially disqualifies her from writing a feminist book. She has yet to identify herself with the essential condition of women as she passionately identifies herself with all things male. Despite her perceptive stand which claims the estrangement of the sexes as the root of the problem she consistently takes a generally inimical view of women. What distinguishes Germaine Greer from a true feminist is her lack of sisterly sympathy and perhaps even intolerance of some women’s position which is the inevitable result of their oppressive condition. Her book is strewn with crude jokes and snipes at other women who she describes as ‘whiny’ and ‘boring’. For example, she says, “I have to tolerate the antics of faculty wives but they are strikingly easy to ignore.” Her impatience with other women is no doubt a result of her own evident lack of failure in a man’s world. Despite the much-needed attractive publicity Greer’s book has provided, what the women’s movement really needs now is concrete proposals for revolutionary change; of these, Germaine Gree? offers little. She openly rejects any revolutionary strategy or collective discipline. She seems instead to delve in what she herself admits to be a fantasy-that the end of marriage,

morality and. state will result in a great leap to liberty and communism. She advocates mass walk out of mothers and wives, to a life of joyous self -fufillmen t-meaning sexual liberation (hardly to be equated with women’s liberation, although no doubt an essential part of it.) Dr. Greer like most women at this point, is definitely more adept at criticizing the present system than suggesting practical steps for the future. “The universal sway of the feminine stereotype is the single most important factor in male and gemale woman-hatred. Until woman as she is can drive this plastic spectre out of her and man% imagination she will continue to apologize and disguise herself.” She makes an interesting distinction between ‘femaleness’ and ‘femininity’, female being the richest development bf woman hood and femininity a culturally imposed passivity. She emphasizes, righteously enough that women’s biggest enemy is not p men, but women themselves. Unfortunately she does not elaborate on this problem of women’s self-effacement in the sense that it is an extension of a long tradition of male dominance. She admits women must understand and fight their position but denies any utility organized movements might have. It is women’s very oppression which hinders them -from joining together in groups to challenge their position.

Fellini’s interest in his subjects seemed to vary inversely with an increasing mastery of film technique: the more assured the directorial sleight-of-hand, the less evident the need for such traditional contents as character development and plot, which appeared to be included out of habit rather than conviction.

The Clowns, however, deals with material which is obviously more central to Fellini’s experience of life. As early scene depicts his childhood discovery of the circus as an almost traumatic controntation with. the apparent absurdity and brutality of “clowning” (reminding me of my own’ screaming exit from The Wizard of Oz at the age of five).

Clowns

During this progression several of the great clowns of the. past are interviewed, and their individual routines graphically recreated. As we are introduced to the beauty and intelligence of their conceptions, the conviction grows that they not only are more real than their audience, but that they should be so: the world of the clown is one of delightful play, complex cooperation, and the sustained construction of an illusion, which will do as a definition of utopia until something

Although The Clowns is a fine piece of “entertainment,” its most striking achievement is the profound confusion and in-, termingling of the “taken for granted” worlds of artsit and spectator. As Oscar Wilde put it, . “It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors,” and Fellini takes us through the looking-glass to encountersurprise !--ourselves on the other side. The Clowns, in short, is one cinematic trip that you can get into and get off on.

For every record that “makes it” (i.e.. the artist gets to put out a second LP), there must be twenty which die quick and unlamented deaths. In most cases this fate is deserved, but occasionally a worthwhile release is completely ignored by Rolling Stone and the other heavy media, and ends up in the 99 cent bins, where guilt is sealed by association. In an effort to remedy this situation, RPIVI will from time to time discuss albums which appear to have suffered from such an unbenign neglect. Dee Higgins may not be a “neglected” artist, but neither has she achieved the popularity her talent merits.

The uniwat polo squad completely dominated play here Saturday evening and in doing so dumped the powerful Toronto team 3-2. This was their second straight exhibition win this year.

This worked to the warriors’ advantage as the visitors i had to play short-handed on four different occassions. , Waterloo lead throughout the entire game 3-1 but with just seconds to go and playing one man short, Toronto closed the gap to 3-2. Toronto’s Coach, John Paul who played for the 1967 Canadian Pan-Am polo team was looking for an easy win over the home squad but left the pool deck after the game slightly stunned and speechless. This is quite a change from last season when the warriors were often bombed fairly badly by the U of T squad. Coach Norm McKee on the other hand was quite pleased with the outcome and said modestly that “the. boys played very well.” Coach McKee also promisd to give Guelph some additional headaches when they return to Waterloo for another exhibition match tomorrow. Game time is 7 pm.

The university of western Ontario mustangs ran wild over the warriors on Saturday to eliminate any hope the warriors had at the division championship. The game was a far cry from the game against MacMaster only a week before and for parts of the game the play of both the offensive and defensive lines was almost totally ineffective. Joe Mustang quarterback Fabiani put western on the scoreboard midway through the first quarter on a six yard keeper and, with the exception of a single by Steve Boghossian, the rest of the scoring was done by the ‘bad guysTerry Harvey was good for two touchdowns with one going for 64 yards on a pass from Fabiani and the other was a 36 yard strike from substitute Mike Fess.

Ail total, Harvey ended up with five receptions which were good for 160 yards, one yard further than the total warrior offense. During the second quarter, the warriors moved the ball to the western 15 yard line but could go no further. Boghossian attempted a field goal from the 20 yard line but it was blocked and it is interesting to speculate as to what the outcome of the game might have been had the warriors managed to score at that point. It would have at least been a closer game. As in the early season there was some difficulty ting the ball to Boghossian the centre on punts and as ‘the mustangs got the ball cellent field position on a casions.

When the ball appears from the rear of the strum, the strum-half picks it up, passes it to his stand-off and an attacking move is started. The opposing backs attempt to stop this by tackling the ballcarrier. . There is no blocking allowed in rugger, thus the . ball carrier has to either beat his man or pass the ball to one of his own side.. . Rugger is a very physical game. However speed and agility are more important than size or strength, so anyone in good physical shape can play the game. The present rugger team has only average size men- playing on it; the biggest being 6 ft ,2in and around 510 lbs. The biggest men are of -course, the forwards where strength is needed to win the ball. from the set or loose strums which form. In the backs, an ability to run, pass, catch and kick the ball is all-important and everyone on- the side must.be able to tackle, as the opposition are not going to stop and give up the ball. The players come from all over campus, and there are only 3 jocks on the team. The two most experienced players are the strum-half and captain, Rick Hobson; with ten years and Dave Kane, the hooker, with fifteen years. Of the rest of the team, most have played for only ‘6 years and two of them for less than a ‘season. The rugger club is independent within the athletic __ department and anyone on campus can join, either as a playing member or as a social member. Anyone wanting to learn how to play or just to watch should come along to a practice session or tomorrows’ game and join in.

On the odd occassion a few people have wandered over to Colombid field on a Saturday afternoon and seen a bunch of guys throwing around and kicking (apart - from each other). what looks like a fat -football then, they have stumbled upon the incredible rugger, warriors playing one of their games. This article is intended to outline something of the game and the team Tomorrow will be the teams last home game of the season. ’ Rugger is a game played by thirty men, fifteen to a side. These are divided into eight for forwards and seven backs. The object is to touch the ball down behind the opposition’s goal line (much like a football touchdown except that you actually have to touch the ball down). This is called a try and scores three points. The team can then attempt a convert which scores an extra two points. Other scores are for a kick from a penalty (similar to a field goal) three points and a dropped g?al where the ball is drop-kicked between the uprights, which also scores three points. The ball is moved either by carrying it, passing it laterally or rearward or kicking it on. Naturally your opponents are trying to stop you doing this and to obtain the ball for themselves. There are times when because of a rule infringment play has to be stopped and restarted from a set formation. There are several kinds of set formation in rugger but the two most important ‘are the strums and lineouts. In a lineout which occurs after the ball has gone into touch (over the sideline) the two sets of forwards form two lines perpendicular to the touchline and a back throws the ball in between them and all the players rush for the ball. _ A strum is a little more complicated and can be best understood by looking at the diagram below. The eight forwards pack down in three rows as shown. When the strum-half puts the ball into the, tunnel formed by the two opposing front rows, any

N YOUR October 8 issue a letter appeared from a Sebastian Oosenbrug criticizing an article I wrote for the chevron on David Lewis’s talk at the university of Waterloo. in his letter he criticizes my criticisms of Lewis’s position and calls-for the need of definitions; as well as suggests it was me who was in wonderland. Considering that the issues raised are important ones I cannot let his letter go unanswered but rather would . like to reply to him first on the question of definitions, second on the question of pollution, and finally on the question of “revolutionary dream-world bull-shit”. 1) Mr. Oosenbrug asks “what is capitalism?“. He responds by saying that “capitalism involves ownership, control and direction by privately owned business organizations”. Come now, Mr. Oosenburg-this is not a definition. Firstly, because ownership usually implies control and direction, we could just as well say “c-api tal ism involves ownership by privately owned business organizations”. But, of course, at this point your definition becomes almost tautological“c api;alism involves ownership by...owned business organizations.” So essential/y one could say you are saying that “capitalism involves private ownership,” with the emphasis on “private”. By private I suppose you mean individual and not secretive SO that one would finally get that “capitalism involves individual ownership”, instead of public, social or collective ownership.

But one does not have a definition of capitalism-an economic, political social-system-which distinguishes capitalism from all other social systems. Both slave society and feudalism “involved individual ownership” and they were not capitalist societies. Further, one might ask “where have you been for the ; last 100 years, Mr. Oosenbrug?” Maybe we. could let your definition go during the development of early “laissez-faire” capitalism which is distinguished by many small individually-owned enterprises operating in a free-market; but today when the largeVmultinational corporations are openly financed by the state through outright taxation, fiscal incentives and grants (giveaways) to develop at the direction of the corporatestate elite; when the integration of finance capital with industrial capital and merger with the state bureaucracy is almost complete, one is tempted to say that your “wonderland” Mr. Oosenbrug, ended at least 60 years ago before and during the first world war. That is, capitalism, as you conceive of it, hasn’t existed for a long time. But let us loosen up in the polemic and get back to “what is capitalism?” As in any economically-defined social system we define it in terms of that relationship (between people) which is dominant at the point of ii production (that time and space where goods and’ services are produced and created by people). Capitalism is that society in which the majority of the people are forced to sell their creativity (labour power) for a wage or salary. The relationship between the class of people who create and the class of people who own is that of wage-slavery. Further, since the people who create goods and services produce goods at more than the value at which they are forced to sell their creativity, they are rippedoff by a class of historical bandits (otherwise called capitalists). This is where the corporations get their profits and governments get their taxes. To sum up, we will say that capitalism, whether it is a lower or advanced stage, is that economic system where the dominant social relationship is at the point of production.

A question of -style? Now, Mr. Oosenbrug, that we have a definition maybe we can clear up your confusion about terms like “monopoly-corporate-state capitalism” and “state capitalism”. You see, capitalism, like grass and trees in our environment and like man himself grows and develops through history. After feudalism we have “laissez-faire capitalism”. But then, after awhile, some enterprises through “free competition” gobble up other enterprises and become big corporations.

In some fields of production there are only a few corporations and they merge informally to form a monopoly so that they can fix prices to get super-profits and stamp out any developing competition. Further, th e advanced sections of the corporatemonopoly woutd perceive that the state has a large influence in taxation and fiscal policies as well as large dmounts of money in terms of government contracts dnd givedway grants. 1Jsing their wealth and social influence they merge their s‘bcial-class with the leading bureaucrats of the state dnd electoral parties (in our century this is t>ssentially true of the Liberals, P.C.‘s and Socreds). At this point of development one can correctly charactgrize the social system as “monopoly-corporate-state capitalism”-a social-system where the advanced sector of the capitalist class uses the state to increase their profits and control over the economy at the expense of their less-advanced competitors and the people. This is the social system in which we are presently living. But what is rapidly developing :c replace “monopolycorporate-state capitalism” is simply “state-capitalism”. The ruling class, to maintain their power and control over society, must maintain employment (wage-slavery) and comUmodity consumtion. To maintain the fundamentals of capitalism they must resort to direct col;ltrol and mangement by the state (Nixon’s price-wage freeze, etc.). The difference between state capitalism and other forms of capitalism is that in state capitalism the ruling class exercises control and ownership over the economy through control of the state. The vast majority of the people will remain wageslaves. Now they sell their creativity or labour power to the state (a faceless authority) which then doubly rips them off. The market economy is preserved and the state sells back the products of people’s production at state-controlled prices. So, state capitalism is one big corporate-monopoly structure backed up by the laws and police.

Whose state is it? what does your talk of Now, Mr. Oosenbrug, “government control of industries” mean and how is this essentially different from the program of the rise of state capitalism? The question which you choose to Ignore is “whose or more succinctly “whose state?” government” It is not our state-not the state of the vast majority of people. Our state would not allow production for genocide in Vietnam, nor the rape of the third world. Our state would not attempt to maintain a dehumanized and totally alienating productive system which is bursting apart at the seams. Our state would not allow ecological suicide in the name of “economic progress” or more useless jobs for everyone. Then whose state is it? it is the state of the ruling class whose.pathological nature is quite in evident in that they do allow these things in order to maintain power and control. 2) Mr. Oosenbrug quotes my phrase “capitalism is , pollution” and states that it is “useless nonsense”. What Mr. Oosenbrug lacks in definitions he hopes to make up for in emtional rhetoric. But more than this (for a person in man-enviroment 3) it is his basic naivete of what is capitalism and what causes pollution that is shocking. But maybe when we remember that the university of Waterloo is not run by the people but by the state it becomes less shocking. It is a well-known fact that if a man digs a hole in the ground, shits in it and covers it up there is no,pollution (unless he is eating the processed barf labelled as food in most supermarkets). On the other hand, if a man shits in a toilet and flushes it there is pollution. The basic difference then, is one of technology. if you calculate the amount of resources and effort which is consumed in the automotive industry-oil, gas, metal, rubber, service stations, road constructions, factories, etc.-and then realize that the total industry is one of the major sources of pollution, that it is a totally wastefu I and inefficient form of transportation, that the gas automobile has been surpassed

technologically decades ago in terms of knowledge; then you begin to gain an inkling into the gross pathological nature of most of our present technology.

Built-in waste What is true in the transportation industry is true of every facet of production in modern capitalist societybuilt-in, consciously planned waste and pollutionwhether it be in housing, light bulbs, agriculture or whatever. l-he essential problem facing us today is not just the pathological nature of our technology but also the fact that the capitalist social system feeds on pollution and waste. The ruling class to maintain their power (the pecking order in the chicken coop) must maintain the capitalist system (the chicken coop). To maintain the capitalist system they must maintain full employment (wage-slavery). To maintain full employment they must keep everybody busy-with an advanced technologycreatin$ and consuming commodities whether or not people need them (until finally that concrete and metallic fungoid which is our present technology crawls over the entire landscape). You may have noticed that throughout political circles and in the established media there is a great cry for the creation of more jobs (more opportunities for wage-slavery). Why? It is not that we don’t have enough commodities (food, clothing, etc.) already produced (the warehouses and stores are full of them); the land is full of rotting food. Rather, the problem is that people don’t have the money to ‘buy the things they need. The system’s response to this problem is to pay people to create more useless abundance and waste that can never be organically consumed. The fact is that today, with an advanced state of technological ability, capitalism, as a social system, is moribund. It is rotten to the core and its rot is being materialized in the destruction of our enviroment. Capitalism is pollution. Pollution is the final materialization of the capitalist ethos.

Social ego co’nflicts

It so happens that as mankind evolves he does so as a collective of competive, ego-centric individuals and during this period we have what is known as the development of social ego-conflict. Now! depending on the technological level of society, society adopts different forms for the playingout of this ego-conflict (and at any given stage establihing what is called a pecking order in chicken coops) in three basic forms: slave, feudal or capitalist. In capitalism the universal meditation of this egoconflict is money and ever,ything becomes an econoniy-creativity, sex, food. Of course, within cdpitdlist society, as in all forms for the social egoconflict a pecking order exists at any given instant. And the people at the top are, in capitalist society, the capi tal’ist class. Now, the problem with the development of technology in the period of history dominated by the social ego-conflict is that it develops spontaneously and blindly and contains within it the existence of the social c ego-conflict as one of its basic premises. In modern capitalism we can perceive how most of our technology was developed without any concern for its effecfs on man or his enviroment. Our present technology is not efficient in developing a better and healthier social man integrated within a balanced ecology. Rather, it is efficient as a means for . consciousness to rip-off man and nature. _ pathological ’ We can see how our whole transportation industry is basically wasteful and inefficient in human-terms. The private automobile for urban transportation epitomizes this situation. /

Technological sewers

3) How much longer are you going to have to put up with “revolutionary dream-world bullshit”? I would say for a long time. You see, everyone dreams (the question is, of course, whose dream becomes real). Some dream the dreams of the computers and concrete blocks which enclose them; the people dream the dream of the beautiful world. And we shall continue dreaming until it is the reality. We are all in wonderland. There are beautiful wonderlands and then there are .the technological sewers of modern capitalism. I ‘think it is obvious that the peqple will choose the wonderland of revolution.

Now, its not the technological knowhow of a flushtoilet and sewer, wastage-disposal system that has done untold damage to our environment. Ratlier, it is the perverse motivation of usage of our technological knowledge and hence its perverse application that is the problem.

It seems that we are not nearing the end of the federation mess, circus, playtime - really whatever it pleases your little heart to’call it. There is a suspicion among some that there will be. endless reams of paper holding the products of. discontented minds flowing from the campus center. Need we add that we found another letter at our doorstep? If resignations continue at this pace there will be no need for a referendum come february. Sulliman’s resignation - the real reason? Well, Page wouldn’t resign - Sulliman didn’t get to be president so-o-o-o, someone had to resign. Imagine a week going by without one! We have a suggestion from one of those nocturnal crkatures on campus - try walking in the psych building at 1:30 some morning and reading the notes on profs doors. On the spot reporters for the ever exciting jock department were: don mccutchan, ron smith, dennis mcgann and dave kane. Photo staff - chahee and set-&o zavarella, Scott gray, doug baird, carl krasnor, gord moore, and randy hannigan. Ploughing their way through news and rumours this week were deanna kaufman, barry brown, joan Walters, una I’callaghan, mart roberts, al lukatchko, randy hannigan and carl sulliman. Entertainment had dave cubberley, janet stoody, paul stuewe, and if we’ve forgotten anybody we’re sorry. And finally the terrible trio george kaufman, alex smith and bill Sheldon. and if we’re not overpowered by letters, letters and more letters we’ll be back friday. jw

But it’s one of the most important. For we are now, each of us, immediately involved in an assessment of all the other things he has done. Consider the record. The establishment of a Department of the Environment and the related initiatives for the funding of pollution control equipment, the banning of logging in Quetico and Killarney Provincial Parks, Project SWEEP, the Endangered Species Act, revisions to the Pits and Quarries Act, and getting tough with corporate offenders, all these things underscore an enlarged and vigorous commitment to clean up the act, ecologically speaking. Now we can begin to breath a little easier. The halting of the Spadina Expressway, coupled with the pledge to provide greatly expanded assistance to mass public transit, is but one measure of the Davis government’s involvement in a rationalized transportation system. The Provincial conference on economic and cultural nationalism both reflects and contributes to an expanding awareness of the potential of our country and our people,
