Profs blast story and photos by george kaufman the chevron
Five Waterloo professors called a curious sort of press conference Wednesday to protest the amchitka nuclear blast in their own way. Far removed from the headlinegrabbing mass protests at border crossings and U.S. consulates across canada and the united states, the five went their seperate and politely-disputed ways to arrive vaguely at the same conclusion-the experimental blast at amchitka, according to all available information, is simply not scientifically productive and may well be massively destructive. The man who called the press conference is david kirk, uniwat sociology professor, and the group included a. n. scherbourne, dean of engineering, and howard petch, _ uniwat vice-president. Each, however, went to great pains to emphasize that theirs was an individual opinion and not any sort of collective or official

statement on the part of the university. It appeared at first, that an official uniwat statement would be released to the press, but the group hashed out their opinions in a closed office for a half an hour after the conference’s announced beginning and then emerged to tell reporters that no collective opinion had been reached. Petch, speaking as a nuclear physicist and not a member of the administration, said he could find “no earthly reason for carrying out the test.” He claimed that .president nixon has taken “a much too narrow view” of that country’s national interest in ordering the test. Uniwat polisci professor john Wilson said that nixon’s decision to go ahead with the unprecedentedly powerful blast was made in a context “25 years out of date politically.” Wilson guessed that the blast was meant as a “show of military strength and national resolve”, the sort of show which no longer means anything to enemy nations.

the power.”
Kirk suggested that canada has the power to stand up to the U.S. in situations like the surtax and amchitka, by way of withholding resources such as gas, oil and water from the american market. But ralph blackmore, economy professor at WLU,countered that actions like that “would hurt our economy more than the american. We are, sadly, in bed with someone who weighs about 25 times as much as we do.” Scherbourne estimated that there was extremely little of scientific value to be gained from a test like amchitka. When asked whether any of the professors planned to join the protest buses to the borders, Wilson snapped defensively : “Good god, no. If you think standing at the border and waving your fist is radical, you’re wrong.. It’s much more important to work within the political system.” Wilson was campaign manager for the Waterloo north NDP candidate in the recent provincial elections.

‘The international border at sarnia, Ontario, was closed wednesday as the result of a demonstration staged by approximatly two hundred students from both water100 universities. At noon Wednesday, eleven buses started out for the bluewater bridge connecting sarnia and port huron, michigan, to protest the amchitka nuclear blast. The bridge was closed at 11:30 am when a group of students blocked the bridge on the Canadian side of the border. The OPP then closed the bridg.e to all traffic going to or coming from the U.S. Trucks were backed up along the access route for about a mile waiting for the bridge to open. The initial group of students was beginning to dwindle when the Waterloo students arrived and the OPP called in reinforcements. Authorities were not allowing any persons on the bridge, but several students managed to cross the line and reinforce the border block on the bridge.
When the number of students on the bridge approached one hundred, the american police threatened to arrest the students if they were not cleared to the Canadian side in a half hour. After a short meeting, the students decided to continue their blockage on the Canadian side, and retreated to Canadian territory where they stayed for about another hour. This brought the blockage into it’s eigth hour, and at 7%) pm the students massed and marched down the bridge following the Canadian flag and singing o canada. The group then talked to the police, explaining that they didn’t want to hassle the Canadian police and decided that they should allow the bridge to be reopened. The OPP throughout the demonstration were very cooperative and offered only minimal resistance to the students, with, only one arrest reported. There will be a mass rally tomorrow (Saturday) at 2 pm at queens park, toronto.

B.C. (CUP)--At the end of this month bulldozer crews will be ordered to wipe out the remaining farm’s in a large section of the beautiful kootenay river valley in southeastern british Columbia. Some farmers and ranchers say they will stand in front of the bulldozers in defiance. “No one comes ontQ my land before I agree to sell,” says 40year-old ernie Strauss, “and so far I haven’t had an offer from the government that comes near what I think is fair.” “We’re being thoroughly, completely and royally shafted by the government of british Columbia.” says another of the ranchers. The government is taking over and clearing the land in preparation for the flooding of the valley. Near libby, montana, 50 miles south of the border, 1,000 men are working night and day, six days a week to build the libby dam. The kootenay river will be backed 90 miles up the valley to bull river, near cranbook, bc. On the Canadian side of the border 100 people are being forced to move. Of the 75 landowners in the valley, 46 have agreed to sell their land after being pressured for three years. The remaining 29 continue to fight the seemingly hopeless fight. Many of the people were born in the valley. Nearly all have worked NELSON,
of their lives to build homes and increase the agricultural productivity of their- land. They know that much of their land will be under 50 feet of water after the river starts to flood next spring. They know they will have to move. But they continue to hold out for, if nothing else, a fair price for their land from the gdvernment. Their spokesman is lloyd sharpe, president of the libby property owners’ association. “There is just no way we’re going to move until we get a reasonable price for our land.” says sharpe. .- “The government invited us to get independent appraisals. When we got them, they were virtually ignored. The government has offered us one price, we have told them our price, and the department just doesn’t seem to want to negotiate. .One small farmer was offered 7,700 dollars for his land, a bid that was later upped to 9,000 dollars. An independent appraisal made by a Calgary-based firm found the property to be worth 14,000 dollars. But the farmer estimates he will need at least 20,000 dollars to relocate-though it may be difficult to find new land to relocate on.. The government has done little to help the farmers find alternative land. Instead, expropriation papers have been served, and bulldozer crews are waiting for the word to move in. most

The arrest tuesday morning of a youth by campus security police prompted a protest demonstration at security headquarters by about thirty students. Arrested was a non-student, jeff Conway, who was handing out leaflets on norman bethune and the proposed amchitka nuclear blast. 1 Conway was outside the chembio buildings when security officer ian munt approached him and questioned him. A fight occurred and conway was subsequently arrested for assault and causing a disturbance. The incident attracted a crowd of, about three hundred students, some becoming involved in the ensuing scuffle. Conway was taken to security headquarters for questioning, and then sent to the Waterloo police station. From there he was transferred to the Waterloo county’ where he was court house, detained for a preliminary court appearance Wednesday morning. Shortly after the incident, about thirty students marched from the campus center to the sectirity offices in order to learn more about, the arrest. Ignoring front desk personnel ‘the students walked into the office where munt was sitting and began to question munt about the arrest. Munt refused to answer specific questions, feeling that he had no right to discuss the arrest without Conway’s permission. However, he did emphasize the fact that the arrest had nothing to do with either the distribution of the literature or Conway’s political affiliations. Munt stated that he would go on record as saying that anyone is free to believe in any political ideology they wish and that they would not be harrassed as a result of that belief. In this case, there were other factors involved according to munt, but he refused to comment further on the situation. The students were particularly concerned with their own rights on campus and felt that they were entitled to an explanation since any one of them might, at some time, be in a similar situation. Munt again defended the issue by repeating that it wasn’t the distribution of political literature that brought on the arrest. Shortly after the meeting began, director of security al romenko appeared on the scene and stood ’ outside the room observing the procedings until students started directing questions towards him. A discussion began on the rights of individuals both non-students

and students, to distribute literature on campus without intervention _-of campus security. Romenko then stated that any non-student must have permission from security in order to promote or solicit support for any organization or group while on this campus. Any student, however, may participate in any activities he may desire without permission from security . + The question of the special status of the ca’inpus center was then discussed, and romenko questioned the legal control of the campus center board over the building. The campus center has always had an open policy with regard to non-student use, but that policy is in question at the present time. Romenko felt that the board had no power to dictate such a policy, but he did not elaborate on who had control of campus center policy. In an interview afterwards, romenko stated that it was not unusual for his security staff to question persons who are not students about their activities on campus, and that they have the legal right to do this. The reason for this practice was not given, however he said that any person producing a university identification card would not be questioned further. office After disrupting procedures for about an hour, the students began to drift out slow&.

Students’ persistent complaint8 about the athletics fee has evidently prompted a demand by the athletics department for financing from. the university’s operational budget. Administration seems to have taken this opportunity to set up a sub-committee to examine the whole structure of-__non-tuition fees. Presently the athletics department gets the 22 dollars per regular student and ll. dollars per co-oper. In comparison, the creative arts board gets approximately 22,000 dollars from the university operating budget and 8,000 from the student federation. When it became a corporation in EWJ, the federation of students signed a- legal contract with the which gives aduniversity ministration the power to collect money from the students on behalf of the federation. Administration could make the 22 dollar fee refundable, or else refuse to collect the money. This may be decided by the student body when the fee referendum comes up in february. Concerning the athletics fee, the federation agrees with a ‘user pays’ approach to financing. The brief presented to the study fee (committee suggests that, “a joint fee could be levied on the students and such faculty and staff as wish

All indications point to an ontario urban megalopolis from bowmanville in the east to hamilton in the west and with a population of almost six million people by the end of the century. SJ clasky, director of the Ontario government’s regional development branch made this prediction thursday night speaking in the regular environmental studies guest lecture series. Clasky was referring to the government’s “torontocentered” region plan announced earlier this year. Briefly, the plan calls for a twotier city zone along lake ontario from bowmanville to hamilton, one along the lake and another further inland and separated from the first by a parkland and transportation corridor. Beyond the lakeshore zone would be an area reserved for small communities, recreation, open space and agriculture. And beyond this, a third zone connecting kitchener, brantford, barrie, peterboro and port hope would stimulate economic growth toward northern Ontario. “We must organize our development,” said clasky, “in a way which enables the torontocentered region to become the means of economic stimulus for Ontario, a role often played now by foreign resources. ” (The region. concept has come under fire from those who say the government’s claim that the plan will stimulate Canadian development of the north is really a guise for the fact that goods produced now at high costs in toronto for export to the U.S. would instead be produced by cheaper labor in other regions for the same profit, with no increased wages for employees. > ’ Responding to a question by political science professor jack kersell who asked what plans were being developed to prevent the ultimate death of northern Ontario towns by increasingly high unemployment and surely higher migration of workers to the new TCR, clasky said no government plan could possibly stop movement of people to cities. All the government can do, he said, would be to structure the city growth. ,He said the plan had been

VANCOUVER (CUP)-In one of the largest voter turnouts in university of british Columbia history, students voted nonconfidence in the alma mater society human government executive, Wednesday (act 27).

initiated because of several major factors : l the massive urbanization of the toronto area and consequent problems of providing proper services, l the trend toward unplanned sprawl west of toronto toward kitchcner, and the lack of balanced, properly planned development in the east, l the waste of potential agricultural land by speculative selling for low-density urban development - again unplanned, and l overemphasis of development west of toronto at the expense of development north. Clasky said the government was committed to the functional efficiency of its new urban scheme, especially in providing services and public transit; to decentralizing growth for the benefit of communities smaller than metropolitan toronto, and to ensure proper open space, recreation facilities and use of natural resources. The plan, he noted, was written considering new forms of mass transit such as air-cushion vehicles and hovercraft. He said the kitchener-area’s relation to the region was originally neglected pending results of a regional study already under way, but since that study has been completed the TCR group will be studying kitchenerwater100 “as a possible area to relieve population pressures around metropolitan toronto, in the short-run.” The province accepted the principles of the preliminary TCR report last august, and on the basis of forty public hearings and 200 response briefs it has increased the activity of the TCR study group. About half the Ontario government’s full-time planning staff of 150 are working on the TCR concept. Clasky said the decisions now being made will shape Ontario for centuries, but as kersell pointed out “will there be anything left after the toronto-centered region? ” The lecture series continues on november 11 with a presentation by private toronto planner macklin hancock, “new communities in a regional development strategy.”
af UK Students were asked in the referendum if they approve of the human government program, including an alternate bookstore with lower prices than the UBC administration store and an alternate food service also with lower prices and other programs such as a woman’s studies course, quebec week and indian week. Upon the human government defeat, executive council members agreed to honor their promise to resign if not given a mandate of confidence at the polls. This is the first time in UBC history that a student government has voluntarily gone to its constituency for a vote of confidence. “We’re sad but we’re happy,” AMS president Steve garrod said after the results were announced. “We’re happy so many people voted. It indicates that people on this apolitical campus are beginning to consider political issues.” Garrod said the human government-a left-wing coalition group elected last spring-will carry on until a new executive can be elected, in about five weeks. The present executive does not plan to run again, although human government representatives from faculties will not resign with the executive. The referendum sparked one of the dirtiest campaigns in UBC history, with human government posters being torn down by opposing forces.

Yesterday the federation of students sponsored a referendum seeking approval on rejection of its standing policy not to grant money to groups having beauty contests and strippers. The relevance of this referendum was questioned by representatives from various societies on campus. Philip benovoy, president of the arts society, disagreed with the federation policy. He said that any society should be able to “do their thing” as long as it was controlled and there was no fiasco. Benovoy was concerned about lack of enthusiasm for the referendum. He was not able to find four people to man the polling booth in the social science building. Martha lasichuck, art sot secretary, felt that the vote was a show of tokenism, and not relevant. Women’s lib would be strong enough to stop any unnecessary contests or strippers. . Eric mackie, vice president of art’s sot, wondered whether the vote would be seen as a nonconfidence motion if the federations policy was defeated. The president of the grad students’ union, jay beattie, offered no comment on the votes. He said that the GSU has no affiliations and the members would not be able to vote anyway. Steve Weller, vice president of the math sot and john metzer president of the optometry sot felt that the results would not affect the affairs of the affiliated societies. Voting was seen as a personal decision. The treasurer of the science sot, bill corrothers, saw the vote as not affecting the society in any way. He claimed that the referendum was a move by the federation “to gain control over all aspects of societies.”
Engineering society Does the chevron serve the engineers? Why was homecoming not covered effectively by the chevron? Is the chevron a clique that is hard to penetrate? These were the topics covered in an informal meeting between dave green and warren hull of eng sot and the three chiefs of the chevron, alex smith, bill Sheldon and george kaufman. It was pointed out by Sheldon that the chevron is definitely not cliquish and engineers are most welcome on staff. He insists that there is a shortage of reporters and that is why homecoming was not covered. “If reporters have a choice between covering political and social events, they opt for the former.” Kaufman insisted that reporters think of themselves as “chevron staff” first and therefore write for the paper and not for a particular society or club. Hull and green left with the feeling that significant progress had been made and communication channels were now open.

OTTAWA (CUP)-Obviously worried by the nation-wide slump in university registration and the consequent prospect of reduced government grants and tight budgets, university administrators and their student emulators, have spent much of their time at the annual meeting of the association of universities and colleges of canada here, talking about dollars and cents. The over 600 delegates from 66 Canadian post-secondary institutions are more than a little perplexed at the drop-off in student enrolment and the threat that this poses to traditional concepts of university operation. Few solutions have been found. Much of the talk at the conference, which started monday nov first and ended thursday, has dealt with university financing, the prospects for graduating students, and the old research-teaching dichotomy-that is, where the priorities of the university should lie. The general tone of discussions here was summed up in an address given Wednesday morning by
The physics club is holding a special remembrance day “ceremony” on Wednesday november 10 at 7:30 in physics 145. This will feature two films followed by a panel-audience discussion. The two films are “Nagasaki and Hiroshima”, reportedly a shocker; and ‘The Nuclear Challenge” by the national film board. It is expected that these films will lead into informative debates along such lines as nuclear power for peace and war, and thea role of science in society. Students, faculty and the general public are invited to join in this debate. Admission is 10 cents for members and 25 cents for all others. On friday november- 12 the physics club is sponsoring a social evening for all persons enrolled in. physics. Students, staff, grads, faculty, and their friends are invited to attend at a cost of 56 cents each. Conversation and the consumption of alcoholic beverages are rumoured to be the main activities of the get-together. For more information phone john richards, ext. 3613.

AUCC president davidson dunton, the retiring president of Carleton‘ university in Ottawa. In a speech that amounted to a justification of present university administrative priorities, dunton criticized what he called “selfappointed experts” who attack the extravagance and inefficiency of universities. He said that “the enthusiasm for efficiency” of such experts “seems usually greater than their knowledge of actual operations in higher education.” Talking abd the likelihood of provincial governments substantially cutting back the amount of future grants to universities, dunton said, “if cost reductions go too far, they are bound to decrease opportunities for young people, and debase the quality of higher education and of research. x “The truth is that in the last ten years Canadian universities have reached levels of effectiveness and efficiency which they and the Canadian people should be proud of. “...some of us who worked on plans for the expansion of the
universities saw and said what was going to happen and that we were going to have to draw-heavily onnon-Canadian sources. Some of those ‘keen cOncern who now express about non-Canadian faculty do not recall campaigning vigorously for the expansion of universities and graduate schools in those earlier times.” In a challenge to the concept, of the divine right of administrators as articulated by dr. dunton, art smolensky, a graduate student from the university of british Columbia and a member of the AUCC student advisory committee told delegates that the answers to th e problems of society do not lie in the university. “Universities are the training ground for the elite of this country and students are little more than sheep. But the economic planners of the country have screwed up and now the sheep have nowhere to graze”.
He went on to say that attempts at educating people in universities had largely failed and those who sought solutions to existing condi tions “will be leaving the university”.

The fact of the matter is elections do not make political consciousness ; at best they reflect it. Political conscidusness is produced in the day to day struggles against the forms of repression. This fight is against the corporation owners, the industrial polluters, the land-grabbing speculators, and for the fight for Canadian independence. The question of the fear of socialism may have some validity except for the overwhelming raise in’ the vote for the waffle candidates in their respective ridings. In every one of those cases a weak liberal was running causing a polarization to take place which brought the ndp vote up. This is a rather generalization, but it seems the waffle candidates would not allow the issues to be obscured, thus gaining substantial increases in their vote. It would appear that the ndp successes in north and northwest Ontario shows that the provincial
crisis has hit hardest there. The charisma campaign that davis carried out could not obscure the crucial problems faced by the citizens in that area. The attitude of lewis to ‘lay me down and bleed a while’ is certainly not going to solve the problems; nor is the attempt to get enough money for the 1975 election going to do much either. The solution will be found iti heading into the struggle for jobs, for a better standard of living, for more meaningful education, and all the rest of the injustices along with t he struggle for an independent Canada. \ The ndp will have to solve the problem of uniting workers, students, the unemployed, the poor and welfare recipients, the farmers, and tenants into a large federated party which has organic links to its constituencies, not the ;constituencies outlined by city boundaries, but the real constituencies, in the places where people work, study or live. The: synthetic approach such as the top brass of the Canadian labour congress meeting with the leadership of the ndp and ,announcing “labour supports the ndp” has been proven false by the results in the industrial areas in the province. A real unity must be forged around the fight for socialism and not just the fight for constitutional power achieved by success in an election.

CAMPUS FORUM- the campus was questioned .o,n the forthcoming five-megaton blast which the US has authorized on amchitk.; island, its short and long ierm.effects and the ’ ) consequences for Canadian-US relations.
george haggar, resource person - is It’s a criminal act against humanity and the United States is going to do it irrespective of the wishes of the world. It doesn’t scare me becauSe the US actions are very practical. They usually stake the welfare of mankind to serve their _-_ own -.national interests. Its frightening in the obvious sense but there’s no way of persuading die nixon to stop it. The US will not heed Canada’s voice unless we take drastic action, such as, severing diplomatic relations, or cutting off their oil supplies for a period. They only react to strong measures, as that’s the j sort of action they’d understand.
john hil horst, technologist-audio visual centre When the yanks set off a blast everyone cjemoristrates. Why don’t we demonstrate when the Russians set off a blast? They set off a 5 megaton blast a month ago. Of course that one was far away whilst this one is in our back yard, but if you measure it in miles theirs was ndt that far from our arctic region. The russians of course don’t give all the details. To be fair all the way round we should stop all nuclear blasts. I don’t see any use in demonstrating ‘against one and not against the other. The only thing I don’t like about the yanks is Vietnam, they haven’t been fair, but the communists are getting a\jvay with everything. Obviously all the smarl countries should try to get together to control the big powers. Maybe this will happen eventually.
Susanne cowls, seer eta ry. It’s the most dastardly scheme that has ever been devised by nixon. It should not take place in internationa t waters as most other countries which have carried out tests did so in or on their own territory. The pentagon has been very good at making prognostications in the past, a high percentage of which were erroneous, and I expect they will keep on batting a thousand and blow. this one too. I think it will seriously damage Canadian-US relations. Their attitude, is, “we’i-e _going ahead with it anyway and to hell with you guys.” It’s going to definitely disrupt the environment, first ,of all, as far as the ocean in thearqoi the blast is concerned-it’s bound to affect sea life-and Over a period of years it will affect a more widespread area. They have already admitted that seepage may occur over the long term,and :his could be disastrous.
bil I vraets, graduate mechanica I engineering I don’t think enough information . has been given to people as-far as the results ai-e concerned. The US‘ government doesn’t care about public opinion, they have decided to go their own merry way. It’s not possible to tell robert hod@nsy the immediate results and right systems design 26 The thing about it is that they now people are just guessing and worrying about radiation and the (the US 1 don’t know whats going immediate possibility of a tidal to happen and they are going wave. ahead with it anyway.

It’s futile really, since we’have to come to the conclusion eventually that there’s no room for nuclear war on this planet anyway.

Madame exhibition-arts The idea of providing background through film for gallery exhibitions is a good one. The practice of it will be in vain if there is no demand or interest. It may be that the current madame ma showing. of watercolours was not much aided by the two films on Chinese painting. Few (at most, thirty) attended the film showing I 6aW.
The combination of film along with madame ma’s art clearly points out her individuality within the Chinese tradition, an individuality indebted to both oriental and occidental styles of expression. If I recall correctly, there are only two portraits in the exhibition. Most of the rest are of objects in nature-birds, flowers, a cave. According to the film, Chinese painting is essentially monochromatic although there are artists who practise exceptions to this rule. What colours were added were only to make paintings more realistic. Most of madame ma’s

A note:. the calligraphy found on many Chinese paintings is an explanation of what the artist was thinking of when he did the painting. The red figures are artists’ seals.

The thought of jean-paul sartre is acknowledged to be of paramount importance, especially his later work on the theory of man and society and the way social groups inter-relate to make history. The task now becomes, for the english-speaking reader, to find out what his thought is. The Critique of Dialectical Reason is not translated, except for the introduction Search for a Method and some randomly selected passages in cumming’s sartre anthology. We are left to rely heavily on interpreters and commentators. Wilfred desan’s The Marxism of Jean-Paul Sartre is almost useless, completely failing to grasp the living thread of sartre’s work, demeaning the lived necessity of progressing from an existential reinstatement of the inviolability of the individual to a comprehension of the nature of a society in which individuals are opaque to one another, where freedoms must collide, to a game of intellectual one-upsmanship in which the major purpose seems to be the invention of terms to impede understanding. Reason and Violence presents us with an appraisal of sartre’s work by two thinkers who place themselves within his project and are also attempting to totalize current streams of thought cominto a revolutionary prehension of society which does not do violence to the facts. The most telling omission in sartre’s early work is the historical dimension. The social dialectic was explored and brilliantly described in terms of two major categories in Being and Nothingness, however since this dialectic was primarily ahistorical and -ungrounded in a particular social praxis the dialectic was never synthesized and totalization, a major concept in sartre’s later work, was absent. It is within a historical totalization that human praxis (dialectical involvement with the material and social worlds in both the theoretical and practical realms) pursues its ends. Finding these ends frustrated we are confronted with anti-praxis and the antidialectic, con-cepts which will enable us to comprehend the opacity of human history to man, the estrangement of man from society. Search for a Method basically, attempts to demonstrate that there is no contradiction between the individual and the universal, that the particular is only comprehended in terms of its manner of participating in universals and the universal exists only insofar as it is incarnated in individuals. Marxism having retreated to the realm of empty universals, it remains for existentialism to reemphasize the singularity of the existing individual and, in being synthesized with marxist schema, to breathe life again into marxism.
To‘ the extent that ‘th@ philosophico -, anthropological method sketched in Search for a Method is successful it will allow the intelligibility of human reality in process from the individual level (saint genet) through diverse mediations and totalizations to the socio-historical level ( Critique of Dialectical

In introducing the concept of .alteration sartre has at once enlarged the marxist perspective and made it problematic. Alienation becomes a moment within the category of the Other as a certain mode of relation of two freedoms. The permanent possibility, and to some extent realization, of the loss of my praxis in the world is proclaimed. In other words, the separateness of the formyself and the for-others can never be radically overcome. The categories of Being and Nothingness find their place in the Critique unchanged. We can thus see, in contrast to those who claim that sartre’s philosophical position has changed, that it is fundamentally the same. The progression from the individual ahistorical dialectic of Being and Nothingness to the

However, this is from within the present totalization-in-process and at the only realized to the extent that the project of the other is opposed to same time apprehend the of a pertheoretical work itself as a mine. The impossibility moment of that totalization. Sartre’s present position can be illustrated with reference to his criticism of the bourgeois notion of Nail polish, by irving layton, mcclelland and time which he sees as intimately steward, 1971. connected with the imperatives of However, modern This is irving layton’s ninth book of poetry for production. original work in time-analysis was mcclelland and Stewart.

I don’t think it is layton’s best; I prefer balls for a one-armed juggler (1963) stage being possible upon the achievement of certain material or the whole bloody bird (1969), but after twentyfive years one tends to repeat oneself and freshness conditions (technology etc. ) . This becomes an elusive target. Still I like nail polish was seen as the progressive debetter than anything else I have seen this year. bestialization of man and the Layton is, for all anyone or he himself has said, an realization of his humanity. This gives a justification of sorts to the old romantic. Even when he is bitter, and he is ofbrutalities and inanities of the ten, when he claws, bites, chews and spits out his capitalist system as a “necessary subject one can’t help seeing the wry humour, the far off chuckle, the toothy, bloody grin. stage” of history. Here we glimpse In the * eye of the poet, simple things take on the full impact of sartre’s project. greater significance and greater things simply His analysis proceeds from many stated are never overdone. In “OHMS” philosophical roots besides marx layton writes of simple things, ohms. What is simpler than and his own work will go beyond ohms-; almost anything. Like the word, the poem marx in many ways, yet he rolls off the tongue or melts in the mouth : chooses to define it as marxist as he defines our epoch as marxist. ohms Revolutionary theoretical is such a beautiful word discoveries are important but they soft as marshmellow in the mouth must be made real-become part ,as a lover’s sigh of a revolutionary praxis.

That this does not complete the emancipation of man is obvious, but marxism cannot be transcended in our historical period precisely because it expresses clearly the structure of everyday reality such that the loss of man to himself is perpetuated. The death of class society is the precondition for the liberation of man. To this extent any philosophy claiming to address itself to the problem of the modern inechanization of man must be anti-capitalist.
deavour that is finally painted is identical. “Man is a useless passion.” The radical notions introduced by sartre are destructive of the bourgeois life and its rationalization. He said that even in the face of a meaningless world, in the face of the hell of the Other there is no escape; there is no word or action which could 1 relieve one of the necessity for living and choosi%. Again in the Critique we see that the dialectic eventually finds no resolution, that the group relapses into seriality, the Other once again becomes opaque, and we are left in a whirling world of perspectivedependent truths in which the progressivist illusion is shattered and the revolution is declared to be permanent, a way of living life and not an escape from it. ian angus.

Perhaps age has softened irving layton. It surely should have. Or, perhaps, rather than merely cutting his subject with that well sharpened knife and swallowing each piece whole he takes the spicy, carefully prepared meal whole in his mouth and chews it long, savouring every scrumptious bit: cemeteries are thrown away on North Americans they behave as if they are going to live forever I ignoring in their walks and car-drives these discreet dumps with their sad embarrassed that advertise human refuse

Poetry has suffered many losses in the last ten years. The deaths of frost, Sandburg, William carlos Williams, ee Cummings, eliot and Pratt have suddenly left the poetry world with few masters and those that remain are fast approaching the age when their aid will be difficult to give or obtain. Out of this comes irving layton, the rambunctious montrealer now poet, critic, professor at york university. For a time I looked to Cohen for the Canadian promise, the poetry of the modern age as I, was told only we could write. But now Cohen. is elsewhere; three good books remain, two of poetry *and one novel. Then there are three literary cohenas-god-period works and then nothing. What is left now is to turn to the other less accepted but truer masters : birney , purdey , souster and in particular irving layton, for his work encompasses more than one generation, deals with several wars and knows no boundaries, in fact slashes at all restrictions; he is the true Canadian master. -. .

The form of reciprocity between two praxes, two centres of totalization is that of alterity. This alteration that is the transition from my-action-for-me to myaction-for-you, is a structural feature of human reality, a primary alienation which grounds the possibility of alienation in the marxist sense as the loss of man to man as mediated by materiality. The group-in-fusion begins the fusing pr.ocess into the creation of supra-individual a common subject in the face of material However, the endanger. trenchment and organrzation that attempt to maintain the group once the danger has passed leads’ to the re-appearance of alterity

Vallieres shit, hope took all sorts of forms.” is a proud member of the FLQ who years ago worked for trudeau and pelletier, men who he now reviles. He really understands quebec, its politics and people. The white niggers of america are the working people of quebec, and the first chapter, which bears that title, is a fast-paced and lucid history of the province. Vallieres uses an ironic style at times. After describing the power of the quebec clergy, he* writes: “While god looked -on amused...hunger riots broke out everywhere. Men were told, ‘Take your hunger off our hands. We don’t know what to do with it. Instead of idling away your time in the towns and stinking up the place with your poverty, go cultivate the land, work harder’ But the habitants could not kork miracles and change rocks into arable land. Henri bourrassa and his disciples were still talking about a return to the land at a time when the urbanization of quebec was an’ irreversible phenomenon, and the americans were taking control of the economic a’ctivity and even the politics of quebec. The habitants were still . the beasts of burd’en, despised in a hostile country. But god be praised the clergy received the order from heaven to make this resigned and silent collectivity into a nation dedicated to the church. At last the life of slavery would take on meaning by becoming redemption.” This is vallieres’ heritage, which from an early age he tried to throw off.

Escape to the white collar world is the hope of many poor people, but there may be as many white collar poor as there are those with dirt under their fingernails. Vallieres escaped to a clerk’s position in an investment firm, and witnessed misery about him among the poorly treated clerks for two years. He found it worse’ than what he had experienced before, and n.otes, “How many illusions can be built on the simple fgct that one holds a pen in clean hands and can initial forms, tons of forms! __-_ What a sorry affirmation of one’s self!‘* Vallieres revolutionary
vision would spell an end -to this self-defeating; illuS0ry superioritycum-alienation of the petty white co!lar worker. But vallieres’ life has taken some contradictory turns. For reasons that are obscure, this priest-despiser joined the clergy, ascribing his decision to madness. It is one of the inconsistencies that anyone has a right to display, but it does a little to’weaken the power of his message. Doubt may remain for the rest 6f the book, and some of his motives. might be questioned, for after calling one deep conviction madness, might he not still be mad, but convinced of his sanity and righteousness?, At any rate, having seen the light, he left the “commissars of god” to write for “cite libre” the house organ of quiet revolution. He wrote an article calling for separatism, but Pierre trudeau, the editor at the time, refused to publish it. Very discouraged, he went to fiance, the mecca for alienated expatriates, from ho chi minh to james joyce. But, like so many others who both hate and love their homeland, he couldn’t find what he wanted, either with workers in the south or literary friends in paris. He was still lea.ding a * nigger’s life, and “a nigger’s life is not a life”.
Wk have been deprived until now af a view of quebec from vallieres’ side of the communications barrier around it. “white niggers of america is a significant book that goes a long way in teaching us about quebec as it is rarely seen in english Canada. Perhaps it will contribute to the end of quebec’s oppression by the rest of north america. I have said that he may, still be mad; others insist he is a dangerous criminal. Vallieres makes an excellent point about such labels : “Whenever partisans of the FLQ are brought before the courts, the bourgeois treat them as if they were common criminals or mentally ill. Of course there is no question of officially according them the status of political prisoners because, for the ruling classes that would be to admit that one can radically and practically challenge the present system without necessarily being a gangster or a lunatic. But the established order has every interest in making revolutionaries out to be gangsters and lunatics.” lionel koff ler

IFTY YEARS from now some historian will write: “The turning point in higher education in ‘canada occurredon july 23, 1971, when the Ontario legislature passed the university of toronto act 1971.” The appraisal of the historian will likely be correct; and he will also be correct if he adds, “Neither the general public nor those in the university quite realized what they had done or what the inevitable result would be.” Other universities in canada have responded to the demands for reform by students and the .public with- cautious and minor changes in brganization and curriculum.

that they will have considerable influence in faculty councils where issues (such as courses, grading, examinations, etc.) with which they are familiar are discussed. Here, if thqy have dedicated spokesmen, students caq make a very real dif-ference to the ethos of the university.
Manipulation? The ’ administrative staff, particularly the president, will have a great deal more influence in the life of the university than under the old act. The governing council is quite larrge, it has a very heterogeneous membership (from student to senior citizen) and it is required to deal with a wide range of complex issues. f Most university senates and boards have hkavy agendas. The new governing council must combine these agendas. Inevitably the judgement of the full-time executive officers, who are familiar with all aspects of the university, witl be relied upon. Futher,. the president has at hand the resources of the cotiputer and the research center to provide him with the hard data necessary to justify his recommendations. With these resources at hand he can reationalize procedures in a manner likely to persuade the most stubborn council. But the thrust may be to quantify. The tendency of the committee on university affairs to’ standardize may be matched by administrative trends within the university. Only a most unusual president devoted to effective scholarship can resist this movement. The university that emerges at toronto-and perhaps in canada -wi II be different; precisely how different is not easy to forecast. What is called for is a co-operative enterprise: All th_ose in the university (staff, faculty, students) must join with those outside (government appointees and alumni members) in planning and developing the

/ course of what is now a great public corporation. Cone completely are the old concepts of the university as “a community of self-governing scholars,” as an independent autonomous institution, as an organization that exists apart from (rather than part of) the larger community in which it exists. The new idea of a university is a great democratic movement (in which all are equalbut not quite), responsive to the needs of the people. Traditionalists have reservations about the whole design of the new act; they believe the universitpis not, and cannot be, a democracy any more than can a hospital, a research institute, a space flight center, a dental clinic-or even a newspaper. Certain decisions have-to be made in these organizations that depend not on “goodwi I I” or “popularity” or “relevance” but on very advanced knowledge and experience. The commission report would depreciate this view. For them “the future of the university as a community is based, as we have said, on mutual trust and respect, not on any absolute power of any one estate in the university. Power, authority and responsibility must be shared. Those who argue for the domination of any one estate over the rest threaten the survival of the university.” Nonsense! who is to decide the prerequisites ior senior ‘Courses in zoology? What-is to be the content of a course on james joyce? What are the requirements for professional standing in psychology? Physics? Philosophy? These are questions that cannot be answered by popular vote but only by experts in particular fields. These kind of decisions, in my view, require protection from all the non-experts-students, businessmen, labor leaders, and others who think that “good common sense” can dictate the answers. One may democratize the administration of a hospital or a university; one cannot democratize

need only to examine an account of the most recent senate meeting to see the burning issues our to reject which prompted academics “democtratization.” For example, how does one define “faculty”; surely one must include “academic evaluation” as well as “teaching”and “research” as being within the privileged jurisdiction of that group. And we must not disturb the reverie of the board of governors with a student’s appeal of marks received; surely a. senate committee could rule in this case-why, it might even include students, if it should deign to do so. And further, to what extent must money pblicies beL approved by .senate before administrative expenditures can be made? Why, here is where the administration-academic battle becomes crucial: who controls the cash? Great mission, indeed. Mr. ross is either a fool or a charlatan; either way he has been shown up by the boys at uniwat. Makes you proud, doesn’t it? rirrrrrrr There is, of course, a theme to this comment. What makes murray ross, or for that matter, the grand dragons of our senate think their facile attempt to keep control of university policy strung up in either an academic mystique or a fiscal maze is the way it should be? Clearly, though it is far from ideal, the university of toronto one-tier structure does allow immediacy to take its rightful place in shaping’ university policy. And why not? Why should ross and the rest of
his ma’squerading “academics”’ not submit to questions from students and labor leaders asking “why?” Who said the purpose of the university is td satiate the irisatiable appetites of department chairtnan and faculty deans, all pecking for the most feed and all drooling with obnoxious maxims of “the great mission” to rationalize their bloated guts? Why, indeed. Ross notes with glee that if things get too relevant at the university of toronto, the Ontario government has the committee of presidents of Ontario universities to fall back on. This com‘mittee is composed of presidents like burton matthews, a man who represents a campus where the infighting among. admimstration and Senate has reduced the concept of “the great mission” to a pitiable crusade for expedience. As is the case with so many other campuses on which underenrolment can cause such a financial trama that the whole pro&s of who learns what, where and when can come to a standstil I. ’ . why anyone is attempting, or at least gives the impression of attempting to learn anything seems slightly irrelevant. It will be irrelevant until the drones who lacked the guts to establish a one-tier structure at this university are jarred from their offices by shouts of “why” from the university of toronto. Shouts that sooner or later will be answered... Answered by other than the likes of murray ross and the university of Waterloo university act committee. --alex smith
the expertise that plans and conducts a surgical operation or a senior level course. It is inevitable that governments and the people will have more to say about such questions as the length of the university year, the number of students to be” enrolled in universities and in particular faculties, costs per student, and the balance of research and teaching. But to extend such wide participation to highly technicat academic questions seems dangerous in the extreme. The new act stirs up another issue that troubles many. The regulation limiting membership on the governing council to Canadian citizenship is a case in point. A small proportion of the student body, or the faculty, or the administrative staff at toronto are not Canadian. In a free elec-tion it is highly improbable that more than one or two non-Canadians would be elected to council. Even if it were proper for a university to, in effect, defranchise some of its students and faculty on the basis of nationality, the regulation is unnecessary. But at the present time there is considerable public concern about %iit@&tates influence I in canada. The regulation is “good politics” at this moment. Later it may serve political ends to limit the faculty or student body or both to Canadian citizenship. Previously most governments have restricted their interest to financial and administrative affairs in the university. The “Canadian citizen clause,” which would be rejected by most universities, is the first indication that government has moved into highly sensitive areas hitherto considered a matter for internal decision. The danger for the future, of c’ourse, is that many decisions may be made on the basis,of pal itical desirability and not academic reality.
The great mission My most important reservation has to do with academic standards. The pressure from students for greater relevancy in the curriculum, and from the public for more practical course; leading to employ men t, call for a different kind of education than traditionally found in the great universities. The true function of the univefsity has never been simply to prolong the process of instruction’for all young people in society. It has been to provide a higher form of intellectual training and discipline for very able students. This has always been the mission of the great universities, of which toronto aspired to be one. The danger of “participatory democracy” in the university is that it will lead to the amazing variety of popular and practical courses that crowd the curriculum of american universities. The university in the past had a good deal of autonomy, and its faculty much authority, so that the concepts of higher- education and higher learning could be protected from unreasonable demands from either its students or its financial benefactors. It remains to be seen whether the university of toronto can maintain its mission without this protection. But it may have chosen a new mission: To become a public vocational university providing the skills and culture for mass society.

eventually grew to hate the sight of’ the mats’. Now called ‘okie’ for obvious reasons, the young wrestle? sought satisfaction in the parallel sport of judo. In 1969, okie took the Canadian title in both sports. One year previous, bolger travelled to mexico for the olympiad where he encountered ‘a good time, and good experience’, but added ‘i got my ass whipped’. In these games, okie competed with a frozen ankle because of a freak injury immediately prior to the competition. In his hours away from the padded combatives -room, okie’ finds great relaxation in continual smooth listening to the sounds of blues musicians. Presently, okie is enrolled in the recreation course at Waterloo. It was this academic area and the prodding of coach ed d’armon (now at ryerson) which lured him to this campus. Travelling is now second nature to the youthful 23 year old. Last summer for instance, there was the pan am games in cali, Columbia then the world championships in bulgaria with a weekan-d-a-half stopover in greece. ti One large problem wrestlers over the world encounter prior to
competition is that of Weight loss. Okie’s menu one week before a match includes fruits, vegetables and meat. As the competition nears, the fruits are excluded then the vegetables but vitamin pills 1 are added. Immediately prior to weigh-in, an extended period of time is spent 1 in the sauna where okie says one . P can dehydrate to the tune of seven pounds in a reasonable time I period. Following -the weigh-in, the wrestlers are given four hours to c eat and drink 6 offset the weight\ = loss effect. ‘I’ve known alvs ’ putting on 17 pounds in one dai’ okie offered. --Okie suggests Waterloo as one of the prime wrestling universities in the country for the simple reason -. \ that the uniwat coach has be& named as Canada’s ‘national wrestling coach for the ‘72 Olympics in munich. Prediction from pat bolger is for a big win ih the OUAA next february for the mat warriors. The CIAU championships in newfoundland not long after should also see a tough warrior squad attempting to bring to Waterloo the first national team title and okie bolger successfully defending his Canadian college title.

Last year’s cellar-dwelling men’s volleyball team saw their first action last weekend in a tournament hosted here in the people’s gymnasium. Three other university teams and a group from the kitchener YMCA provided the opposition.
Monday November 8th 10 AM.
Waterloo dropped two games, the second of which came in the final series to western 15-6 and 1513. The second tournament for the warriors occurs this weekend again at home, where western will once’ again be in action with guelph, lutheran, mcmaster and brock also on hand for the action.

As the OWIAA field hockey finals came to an exciting climax last weekend, the athenas boasted a well-earned, hard-fought second place position. The crack team from toronto (university of,) proved too tough for all opposition and ended as uncontested winners. The toronto chicks picked up a ‘perfect weekend score of 14 points by winning all games. Waterloo with eleven, lost one match and tied another for second. York grabbed third with a six-point total. Jan meyer was the successful shooter as the athenas tied their first game l-l with queens. Playing another outstanding game, toos simons put two shots past the mcgill goalie as marilyn woods added one to allow a shutout upset. Simons and woods were once again good for one goal each against york as pat binnersley placed in one herself for a 3-l defeat over the york crew. Pat scored on a switch play which had the. defense completely baffled and confused. Although not able to upset u of toronto, the perrenial champions, the athenas challenged that dynasty with a aggressive and fast style of hockey. The defense played an extremely important role in the Waterloo victories by constantly breaking up the opposition’s rushes and transforming them into Waterloo attacks. A unified team was very evident in all the athenas’ successes. Many picturesque goals resulted from a hungry forward line’s continuous efforts.

The improved Waterloo team took second-place honors to the university of western Ontario in the full day’s program. All teams showed strong games with sparks of excellence but the western gang proved consistent throughout and finished the day unbeaten.
While lacking in court experience, the Waterloo squad looks stronger this year. Newcomers paul dekking and brute macdonald are hoped to support returnees john beattie, bob Willis and jim kaufman. Spider Webster has been rumored to be a hotshot to watch on the sidelines.

F-ball skm Three footballers were singled out for individual awards this week. The most valuable player this season was determined to be quarterback chuch Wakefield with running back rick howse being voted the rookie of the year. Lineman of the year award went to john buda a third year arts student. Howse began the season on a lacklustre note and continued in this vein until he broke loose midseason and ended as the fourth leading in the western section of the league. Lineman buda at 6’3” and 240 pounds was one of the biggest

warriors and his outstanding play earned him an all-star berth at offensive tackle. If drafted, buda would like to give the pros a trial. At the time of selection, chucker Wakefield was in camp with the edmonton eskimos. The eskimos, with quarterbacking problems over the past few years flew the warrior passer in for a look-see at his ability. In his final year of arts at the university of Waterloo, Wakefield learned his footballing at jarvis collegiate in toronto. This early announcement was prompted by rumours emmited by the athletic department threatening a cancellation of this year’s annual athletic banquet.

Python northey, warrior superjock wearing toronto Olympic colours, travelled far-off into the land of the french last weekend to win the eastern Canadian senior cross country championship. All was not easy as super-mat jock ian miller took the lead from the opening bomb blast. Python snaked along behind miller keeping his prey within striking distance. At the end of every mile python jumped into the lead to test the speed of his intended victim. Believing in the motto “the python should be- the hunter”, miller took the lead after northey had tested him. After exchanging the lead over the twisting hilly course the leaders approached the finish line. With ten yards to go python, looking cool and slick, decided he was hungry enough to move in for the kill. To his astonishment northey passed the prey with blistering speed (a trait not noted in pythons) and reached the finish line just two feet ahead of miller. When asked why he misjudged his prey python stated “it must have been my weight training.” This was his first major Canadian victory. .-I

Python finished well ahead of former warrior kip sumner (4th) and some of the top distance runners in Canada. Among these were bob legge, who ran the ten thousand metres for canada at the pan american games in cali .this summer, dave bailey Canada’s first sub four minute miler, and dan shaunnasy, an experienced international distance and cross country competitor. Missing from the entry list were grant mclaren, (Canadian 3090 metre steeplechase record holder 1 of western who was resting up for the OUAA x-country this weekend, dave ellis a Canadian national team member of past, and jerome ‘drayton the top marathon runner of 1969-70 grid holder of the world’ record for ten miles. Python said confidently that things might not have turned out too different if the missing personnel had been there.

After defeating the lutheran pucksters, the university of hockey warriors will be back on the ice again tonight for another exhibition bout. The opposition this time round will be the university of Windsor lancers. Game time is eight pee em and the place is the Waterloo arena. Turnouts for games have been averaging close to fifty, weird thing for a defending leagueleading team.

On Saturday afternoon at two, the Waterloo‘ warrior cross country team will be hosts to all other similar groups in Ontario for the first annual OUAA cross country championships. The warrior crew won the event two years ago in the now-defunct OQAA league. The university of western ontario enters the competition as the team-to-beat with both Waterloo and toronto having a shot\ at the favourites. Waterloo’s in the track on hot-shot solid team.

Canada’s first sub-four minute miler, dave bailey, still a student at toronto, will probably be competing if his eligibility is still applicable. Dan anderson, who has been running top calibre road races since early spring is anticipated to put in the best warrior performance. Freshman mike kaine has shown well in early season performances1 and is hoping to continue his spiralling efforts. Gatis roze, another freshman will also be treking through the potato patches and corn fields of rthe north campus. Peter olver, a third year harrier, will see some fatigue on saturday _ with the warriors. The course will start at the edge of Columbia field and traverse a few farmers’ fields as well as crossing laurel creek twice before ending at the initial point, 5.5 miles later.

The +olleyball athenas started off the 71-72 season with two exhibitiok encounters against KC1 and hamilton y. The athenas won two matches against KCI 3-O and 20. They bettered the hamilton club 3-2 after a closely fought contest. This year’s team has seven rookies to help out the eight oldtimers. Leading the return is jan roorder, in her last season of play. Another veteran of the team, jan fraser will also be back. The skills jan and jane picked up in the volleyball training national sessions should prove as an asset. to the team. Aiding veterans penny green, debbie smith and di scarfe are newcomers carol rawls, irene kwasnicki, nancy lounder and sheryl ubelocher. The height that irene and sheryl bring to the team w,ill be a definite plus. Carol and irene have been involved with several athletic teams in the K-W area. Judy Wilson, a rookie having picked up some sound volleyball sense over the past year, should be one of the key players on the court. Alison jenkins and sue kennedy have returned but will be leaving on work terms at Christmas. Three of the rooks this year with highschool expkrience are sue mctaavish, from that volleyball mecca of london, maria da costa and val farral from -university settlement in toronto.
Not long ago, not far away, in a quiet educational institute dwelled a band of archers. Escapists from society, cut-thrbats, villains, and all round good guys joined together for the love of a common sport. Being so light hearted, good willed, and carefree they held a competition. Finding that their numbers were not great enough to have a _ super fine match they invited all the animals of the forest to compete. Most of the furry little creatures trooped in from St. Jeromes, others from Renison and the village zoo. The archers greeted thd timId woodland beasts with smiles and warm welcomes. As the little animals joined in the celebration of form filling, the evil armory officer did his dirty work. He and his henchmen scoured the closet for crooked arrows, setting each bent shaft aside leaving only the straight and relatively straight for the straights. The stage set the shy, and bashful creatures were led like students to the lines. It began. Arrow after arrow sprang from the bows, sped across the floor, or embedded itself in the net surrounding the targets.

Last thursday night saw the final game of the season in wgmen’s flag fodtball. The championship game fe&ired village a-north and phys ed and rec. Both teams went into; the game with perfect season’s records but the odds-makers gave north a slight edge to win. The first half saw north monopolize most of the point action. They w&e the first to chalk up points on the scoreboard when karen riddell pun ted for a single on 3rd down. Good defensive play by north paid off for two points when barb lester caught the phys ed quarterback in the end zone changingthe count to 3-O north. About midway through the first half artena. korevaar intercepted,a ._ pass on. the phys ed ?5 yard line. North capitalized on ‘the opportunity completing . the touchdov)ln’ pass to artena. Nor$h made good on the convert which,now .put I’/ them in a 10-O lead. j Phys ed continued to tic&k hard and were able to move into scoring distance where debbie luckham kicked for-phys ed’s only point. _ Shortly after, the jocks ‘intercepted a pass at the north 10.

A rules committee has been -fornied in the hope of making recommendations for rule changes which, will cut out some of the excessive rough play. ‘.
.
After a vote by the league coaches, four warrior footballers were included in the all-star selections. John buda at right tackle was the only offensive player to’ make the hypothesized team. On defense, rick chevers was considered the iriside line backer of note and voted into that position. Little stu koch received mention as an outside linebacker and was placed on the all-star squad in that positidn. Rick wiedenhoft, who has been doing a ,lot of punt returns and scoring for ‘the warriors made the all-star selections as a defensive half. Of interesting note is that bill hogan, a former warrior, made the all-star team at split end, while in the 1western section another warrior of 1aSt year, gord mclellen was the half back choice for the all star team of that section. Tomorrow will determine which school will represent the OUAA in the college bowl playdowns. The Ottawa gee gee’s, are favoured to trounce the western mustangs by at least one major. The game starts at one o’clock and will be televised on chch-tv hamilton starting at two.

feedbacklib and %Greer 1 am responding to bill sheldon’s article in last tuesday’s issue, titled “greer typifies introverted outlook’.‘. First of all I would like to correct you on your idea that greer’s ap+arance was a ‘reunion of feminists’. Germaine greer (at least in the past) has not even been recognized as a feminist by most women’s liberationists. This is due partly to her own lack of communication or connection with any feminist group and also her attitude (which seems to have changed) towards other womenwhich could hardly be called feminist as she seemed to shun any soldiarity or feeling of sisterhood with other women. As to your comment that women need to work with men, I agree with you that women’s liberation has to be seen in the context of a larger problem and dealt with by both men and women.. We have not yet reached that point where it would be beneficial to include men in the movement. As proof of this please try to recall what happened at the under attack program, where women should have felt at home to voice their opinions. The

women on the panel said practically nothing and only two women addressed questions from the floor. Women today still have to work together with other women; to develop confidence in themselves, learn to trust other women and develop their own analysis. of their situation. I look forward to the day when we can include men in our struggle for human liberation. rona achilles sociology
Cut bummer Friends and i agreed that mimi farina and tom jans played a very beautiful set at the cat Stevens concert. Their fine lyrics, soft, rhythmic harmonies and some absolutely incredible guitar picking all combined to make an outstanding thirty or forty minutes. This letter wasn’t sent to say ‘my musical tastes are right and yours are wrong, etc.’ I just want to know: Did our ego-tripping reviewer (he referred to himself 38 times) really care enough to listen? What makes him so nasty? Phrases like,

“circa 1955”, “breezing in on the wake of sister joan baez”, aside from being of a very low mentality, are simply untrue. The last thing mimi would want to do is be associated with her sister. Read wilder penfield’s interview with nzjmi and tom in the star sometime next yeek. I agree-cat Stevens was great. Mr. grupp says “my expectations were high, and I heard what I wanted to hear.” Next concert, come in with some expectations for the ‘warm-up group’ as well. You might even enjoy them. dave _-- -LX marmorek a-

The Waterloo city police are up to their old tricks once again. Cars on Columbia street were ticketed on thursday and friday of last week for the heinous crime of parking on a boulevard. The recipients of these gifts should lddge an official protest. They were not even parked on a boulevard. The police are guilty of unfair practice on at least two counts. The police parked illegally on the boulevard in question to write out tickets for other offenders. The police refuse to give parking tickets in many stiuations but students are not granted this consideration. Last week when repairs were made at Waterloo police station ^

If you feel left out now, why wqait 20 years to admit it? Complementing this week’s centerspread feature by former york uniyersity president murray ross are the two reports on this page; the first by chevron reporter una o’callaghan and the second from Ottawa by CUP. Both point out the token representation given students in the councils where university decisions are made. And both point out the need for students to question whether the blase indifference they hold toward events around them is really the best policy-especially at a time when in the name of research, authority risks the possibility of crippling ecological disaster.-rats

TLDENTS who want to participate in decision making at Uniwat are getting frustrated in their efforts. Stud&t representative george greene tried to get , student representation discussed during the last senate meeting, but got scant attention from senate members who obviously had more important matters to discuss. Greene’s main point which senate overlooked was that only one senate committeethe undergraduate count-il-has meaningful student representation. The other two senate committees so far open to students, offer only token representation and students therefore have no real effect on decisionmaking. So far only three senate committees out of eleven include student rnen1be.rs; the task force CUA brief, the undergraduate council and the committee on
a
scholarship and student aid. The committee on teaching and learning has only recently become interested in student representation, but so far no students have been appointed. On the departmental and faculty level student efforts have had little effect either, as only a handful of departments and perhaps one faculty have student representation. Discontent with the way things are going were conveyed to student council by heather Webster, board of external relations education representative during monday night’s meeting. Webster suggested that the federation withdraw all its representatives from university committees’ where only token membership has been offered. Webster pointed out that this type of re.presentation only serves to justify administration policies but gives students no effective voice in decisions which are against student interests. This is in fact what happened with the decisions on the construction of two separate administration buildings, the purchase of a presidential residence and the construction of the now infamous over-pass on university avenue. Despite the fact that student opinion was ignored and disregarded the administration can alwa\ys say that students were consulted, they were part of the process.

the number of board seats from 22 to 25. Six of these are open to members-at-large of the association. Last year, three students were placed on the board by the tacit agreement of AUCC officials and student leaders. This year students are pushing for, the election of five student. representatives to bring the total representation on the board to six. Norm wickstrom, former president of the Simon fraser students society, last year was elected to a two year term and will remain on the board for this year. The student caucus has presented five names to the nominations committee which will make the real decisions as to how many students will be allowed to sit on the board and who they will be. The decision of the nomination committee is usually ratified with little interference by the plenary of the association. A student demand for five regional student representatives to be added to the board was r$ed out of order at the Wednesday morning session. The student caucus, composed predominantly of student cduncil presidents and executive members, will also forward a proposal to the full session of the association that the student advisory committee be expanded in both size and function. The j3roposal asks that the committee be granted at least a 10,000 dollar budget and that it be made responsible for the establishment of a student research program. It also asks that seven regional student representatives and one graduate student rep as well as all student members of the board of directors should compose the committee. . Other proposals that will be presented to the.over 600 delegates from over 60 universities meeting here include: e that AUCC employ a f&-time, information “officer to deal with areas of student concern. l that the AUCC support the recom.mendations contained in the committee on youth report dealing with student aid‘ and university financing. l that the AUCC also support the recommendations of the youth report on attaining universal accessibility to Canadian post-secondary institutions. The caucus of student representatives was organized by the executive of the student union of the university of alberta

Windsor. The weekend meetings were in spent strategy planning sessions. However it now appears. that there will be little opportunity to employ the tactics that took so long to devise. Also over the weekend there were vague rumblings of forming some manner of national student association, but no formal action was taken. Perhaps the most important product of the caucus meetings and the AUCC conference itself is the realization of the student politicians, albeit a minority of them, that participation in the affairs of the AUCC-which is now generally being called a “club of administrators”is really playing into the association’s hands. “What’s going on here”, one student representative said, “is a massive process of co-optation. Our presence and participation in their meetings and their structures gives the AUCC the opportunity to claim that it is democratic and representative of the university community. No qualititative changes in the university are going to come about from our presence here; the university administrators realize that they can make good use of us, to give the AUCC a democratic legitimacy it doesn’t have”. The meeting winds up thursday with elections to the board of directors and the adoption of the recommendations of commissions on various aspects of university operation.
