WLU speculation
--
The property adjacent to the university .of Waterloo at the corner of Phillip and Columbia streets is owned by Waterloo lutheran university. In an attempt to secure it’s position as an independent entity seperate from the guide of the Ontario educational authority and the minister responsible for correlations of information on university affairs, the minister of education, Waterloo luthern (university) has purchased choice land adjacent to the university of Waterloo, perhaps hoping that zoning regulations may be changed to accomodate an apartment building or shopping plaza or both. Of course, this is only one -- possibility. There are a number of thoughts arising from such information. When and how the university purchased the land is unknown, but from information stumbled upon by a chevron reporter-it has been estimated that the property changed hands some three years ago and was ‘purchased by Waterloo lutheran from a trust company. The exact sum or any details pertinent to the nature of the sale are unknown by this paper. Who to talk to to find out more? Well, Waterloo lutheran is reluctant to speak more of the situation than to confirm that, yes, they do own the property. They even have someone to tell you that you can’t talk directly with the guy who supposedly has all the in-

Regrettable errors Severa I regrettable errors of fact appeared in last tuesday’s chevron story covering the inquest into the death of Ray Cebula. * The site of the death was referred to twice as the “Waterloo county jail”-one of them in theopening paragraph. The death actually occured in the Kitchener city police building on the same block as, but seperate from, the county jail. At no time on the day of Cebula’s death was he in the county jail. ’ The picture accompanying the story may also have been misleading in light. of these mistakes. The shot was one of the Waterloo county court house, where the inquest was held, not of the Kitchener police building on Frederick where the death occured.

Last thursday, the student’s federation held their fourth nonmeeting since december. The non-meeting didn’t start at seven o’clock sharp because thenon-meeting-room had been appropriated by a real meeting. All were in a quandry and the non-meeting jerked to-a stop before it even had a chance not to start. Eventually the campus centre turnkeys discovered a new room in non-use and the exasperated council * members got together for another meeting that didn’t happen. By seven-twenty the council business wasn’t underway as only eight members were present. At seven-thirty Rick Page arrived and the non-discussion centred around the making of paper elephants, skiing at Chicopee, and the forthcoming hockey game that night.’ Most exhibited a desire to attend the game in the event of a nonmeeting. Fifteen minutes later a non-quorum of twelve council members present was reached and since a real quorum consists of thirteen, the meeting didn’t start and everyone went their seperate ways. The federation council members who were not at the meeting follow: Barry Brown, science; Chris Castel, math; Paul Dube and Heather Webster, arts; Larry Hundt and Bill Lindsay, environmental studies; Geof Willard and Gary Williams, engineering; and Mike Yirka, St. Jeromes. These members of our federation council didn’t appear and therefore directly caused another non-meeting. ,c The non-meeting wasn’t, of course, called to order, and these people didn’t discuss the appointment of a new vice-president in Carl Sulliman’s vacant position. Further, there was no discussion concerning, a photo co-op, the february twenty-second referendum, the union of arts society, the world university services of Canada, the Grey coach lines, antiabortion, or the ratification of the position of technical and administrative advisor for the chevron. There were no announcements and the non-meeting didn’t adjourn with a feeling of satisfaction at a job well-done. R.ick Page termed the meeting, and justly so, “a futile exercise of patience.” Though a certain, (doubtless exceedingly minute), portion of uniwat students might well term a progression of non-meetings as apathetic and irresponsible of their elected officials, (as mentioned before) ; this minute groups of concerned students could be advised that there are six council seats that no-one cares toclaim. Through retirement and a general disinterest at the polls, there are seats vacant in the following categories. One each for math,environmentaI studies, graduates; two for arts; and one physical education seat that has never been filled. SO it goes. Democracy is dying. A great portion of the-student mass is not represented on the federation council. So complain some more. So it goes. If your chevron representative is going to trudge a mile or so. through blizzards and other acts of God, leaving wife and hearth behind; it will not be in vain. . All non-meetings, as well as real meetings will be covered even if, unfortunately, certain non-representatives find themselves not attending non-meetings and not busying themselves with the affairs they sought to be, and were elected to, look after.

A valuable side effect of the “Black Power” movement has been a corresponding interest in the musical roots I of afroamericans, as it has become increasingly evident that white popular music is both dependent upon, and often inferior to, the innovations of black artists. The three recordings discussed below are each welcome additions to the documentation of this heritage. It has become almost obligatory for con temporary blues musicians to invoke the name of Robert Johnson as an “influence,” and on

King of the Delta Vol. 2 (Columbia,
C30034) some of the reasons for this become apparent. The sixteen tracks included here were recorded in a San Antonio hotel room in 1936, but scratchy sound and all, they are absolutely essential for the serious blues collector. Johnson was a proficient slide guitarist, but it is his quivering, intense vocal performances which attract me to this album. “Preachin’ Blues” and “Love in Vain,” for example, are sung in an almost ghostly falsetto as eerie and heart-wrenching as the best of Schubert’s Lieder. Johnson was a haunted man, fully aware of the likely consequences of his “womanizing’‘-of Casanovian proportions-and hard drinking, and even anticipated his death in “Hellhound on My Trail” (included in Vol.1) ; but he was “A Steady Rollin’ Man” who lived “From Four Till Late,” and was cut down in his early twenties by a sexual rival. The Lp also contains some happier country blues, of which “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom” is probably the most familiar, as well as a novelty song (“They’re Red Hot”); and taken together, this collection gives us some idea of the range of material performed by the Delta bluesmen, who were entertainers as well as artists. Above all, however, it is a fine tribute to Robert Johnson-a man that you should know about. By the 1950’s the blues had become a largely urban phenomenon, with many musicians living and working in Chicago’s “South Side.” Despite changes in instrumental accompanimentelectric guitar rather than acoustic, bass, drums, and harmonica added-the blues were still characterized by simplicity, emotionalism, and the feeling that “You’ve got to live ‘em to sing ‘em.” Rockbottom (GRT 9033-60003) is a double album culled from the vaults of the “Chess” label by King Biscuit Boy (Richard Newell) and Richie Yorke, and includes several selections never before available in Canada. Both Newell and Yorke come across, in the liner notes, as knowledgeable but rather egotistical men whose written judgements are not always on a par with their musical taste. Yorke, particularly, is given to making idiotic asides which attempt to relate this music to contemporary rock: a drummer reminds him of Larry Atamanuik (the mediocre, and hopefully soonto-be-replaced, percussionist for Seatrain), and he thinks that the horns on Lowell ’ Fulson’s “Hung Down Head” “outblow anything that BS & T has ever done” yeah, they also cut Guy Lombardo. But if you ignore him, there is a lot of good music on this set. Of the 24 tracks, seven are by Muddy Waters, four by Little Walter, and Howlin’ Wolf and Sonny Boy Williamson each do three. The Little Walter selections
are vocally undistinguished-he shows to much better advantage as a harp player behind Muddy-but ’ several of the remainder are classics: Muddy’s “Got My Mojo Sonny Boy’s “Unseen Working,” Eye,” and the Wolf’s “Killing Floor” are as fresh now as when they originally appeared. More interesting, however, for those,of us who already have some of the above recordings, are the less well known contributions by such as Elmore James-a gutsy “Talk To Me Baby”-and Clifton Chenier, whose voodoish “My Soul” provides a welcome change of pace. Two early “R & B” items by Billy Stewart and Little Milton illustrate the close affinity of this genre with the blues, and it’s nice to have a version of “Drop Down Mama” (by Robert Nighthawk) if only for those hard-breathing lyrics. t Any anthology of this sort is bound to provoke controversy among blues aficionados ; personally, for example, I much prefer the Muddy Waters at Newport 1960 performance of “Got My Mojo Working” to the one , included here, and it seems a crime to put in unknown and inferior Little Walter material when such great Howlin’ Wolf songs as “Built for Comfort” and “Tail Dragger” are omitted. But this is certainly an important release, and I would only caution you to see what selections you may already have before considering its purchase. The development of “Rhythm & Blues’ ’ and the name of Ray Charles are practically synonymous’ which makes A 25th Anniversary to Ray
in Show Business Salute Charles (ABC-Dunhill
par titularly ABCH-731) a significant release for “R & B” fans. I Fortunately, this two-record set includes several examples of Charles’ earlier work- on the Atlantic label, as well as his later recordings for ABC/ Dunhill. The rawer, funkier sound of the Atlantic releases--“1 Got a Woman” and “What’d I Say,” for sexample-contrasts effectively with the slicker, white-oriented performances of “I Can’t Stop Lovin’ You” and Yesterday,” the songs which marked Charles’ acceptance as a “Popular” (as opposed to “R & B” or “Soul”) artist. The Atlantic recordings, on the whole, seem to have aged very well. These are basically big-band blues 7 loose and swinging arrangements dominated by Charles’ vocals and keyboard work, and so contemporary that “Mess Around”, to cite only one case, has been copied almost verbatim by Crowbar. The ABC/Dunhill selections, however, are often smothered in syrupy orchestral settings, and many of these songs ‘are either lyrically weak or more suitable for a vocalist of the Perry Como variety. Charles was still a “soul man”--“ Let’s Go Get Stoned” and “Understanding” were strong performances from this periodbut all too often he was defeated by schlock production and kitsch material. Again, whether or not you want to get this album will depend upon how much of it you may already have. If you’re not hip to Ray Charles, however, this is certainly an excellent representation of his career; on balance, I think the classic “R & B” performances outweigh the conventional “pop”, which is more innocuous than it is positively distasteful. pad stuewe

Thursday night the warriors moved into a first place -tie with lutheran and western-all tied with 10 points. The warriors zonked the chicken hawks 6-3 in a frustrating game that carried 76 minutes in penalties. From the opening face-off to the 15 minute mark of the first period, the warriors were in smooth command potting 4 consecutive goals. Jim Morris, opened the scoring with a slapshot from the blue line at the 6: 48 mark. Dave Simpson then became a twine denter when he scored from the slot on a pass out from Roger Kropf. Bill Stinson then fired an unassisted effort to boost the warrior output to 3-O. Realizing the warriors were starting to pull away from them, WUC started throwing the beef around. Before long the bump-and.bite tactics appeared to be paying off as 2- warriors headed for the penalty box with only one chicken hawk, and the formidable lutheran power play swung into action. Phil Branston, blocked a shot f inside the warrior blue line and had one of the world’s longest breakaways three quarters of the length of the ice. Phil fired the puck high past the defecating paralyzed blink-horn.

Carl Sulliman resigned as Vice President on October 13, 1971, leaving a letter behind explaining very little. In it, Sulliman did establish a rather hard line political platform that would\have done him justice in any presidential campaign, and perhaps that is what Carl had in mind. Over a month after his resignation, Mr. Sulliman arrived at a rather hush-hush meeting of society presidents, federation executive, campus media and insundry federation hangers-on. The meeting lasted a short time and at the end of it, the higher-ups decided upon a course of action designed to win the referendum on the Federation’s existance to be held in february on this campus. Carl Sulliman, after suggesting that “I am willing to work hard on this committee” and adding, “I have a lot of time on my hands these days” received a fast and unanimous approval from these present to chair a public relations type organization designed to, through speeches, ads, gimics, etc. win the mind of the ca’mpus to the cause. As Rick Page, president of the federation said, “Money is no object.” About a week afterwords, it was discovered that the presidential election was to take place nearly tw< weeks before the referendum. Carl Sulliman, the hard working chairman of the committee, has not been around much since. The day the secret meeting occured, one party involved in the campaign told sulliman that he was worried about giving the former vice president political milage out of the referendum issue and asked whether sulliman planned to run for president if the referendum was won...if the federation continued to exist. Sulliman said he would only run under those circumstances...in other words, he would run if there was something to run for...a federation of students with secure f ina rices. It is perhaps an interesting question whether or not anyone on this campus is at all enthusiastic about the idea and the function of the federation of students. If such a person exists, it would seem not to be Carl Sulliman. x

Four hours later he was still suffering from the pain of the thightrouble and should be out of competition and training for the next few weeks. Meanwhile, Python and Sammie were still shadowed by Mowatt. As they approached the park entrance for the final lap,, Mowatt quiered about turning in for the final stretch, but his team-mates informed him that they had another lap to traverse before kicking the race home. With that in mind, Pearson and Northey employed a distance running psych-job and began to hammer out the next few miles in an attempt to burn out their supposedly tiring running mate. Mowatt began to drop back <as Python took the lead and began to set the final pace, but Sammie remained continually on his heels. Approaching the final hill, Sammie took over from the warrior runner and stretched his lead to twenty yards. Northey made that up before they turned into the park for the short one-mile circuit to the finish line. John -Mowatt, who was thought to be out of contention put together

As the runners approached the finish line Sammie had established for himself a commanding lead over his former roomate from Waterloo with John Mowatt only fifty yards behind Northey. Python, /however outlasted Mowatt’s efforts and grabbed second spot with John third only eight seconds behind him. Sammie’s winning time was just over one hour and eight minutes Python finished in one-nine. First place finisher Sam Pearson graduated from the university of Waterloo last year in Mathematics and now attends teachers college at the university of western ontario. Regarding the trip, Python thinks competitively their time in Toronto rates well with other participants. The course record set by Canadian Jerome Drayton two years ago is only one hour seven minutes. That time is just a little over a minute less than Sammie’s last week. Python adds however, that the Puerto Rican course is covered with hills and the heat should also be a factor. by brute

Mature
stu dents
Last academic year there were 933 fulltime mature students. The number this year is not known but it is thought that with part time students included mature students make up one tenth of the student numbers. This is one of the largest ratios in Ontario universities and the reason is most likely the university’s greater flexibility about admission requirements for matures. But there are some students who feel that mature students do not, despite the figures, get a fair deal at uniwat. It is felt that matures are treated unfairly when it comes to summer employment, student loans and scholarships: A number of people who feel this way have formed the Mature, Students Association. They held their second meeting last thursday to ratify the new constitution and to elect a provisional executive to hold office until the elections in march. Essa Faraj is the new president. At present the association is hoping to get an office from which to work. But until then anyone wishing to contact them can call Irene Price at 578-7458. The association hopes to be doing a great deal politically for mature students and to fulfil1 some of their social needs. A wine and cheese party has been set for this friday night at 8:00 in the Moose room of Renison College. All members of the association and any interested persons are asked to attend.

Seventeen of Waterloo’s track and field -male competitors travelled to Toronto with three members of the female squad for the first meet of the new year. The group returned having scored seventy-six-and-a-half points and with another intercollegiate win to add to their already impressive record. Queen’s university was the closest team finishing second with 64 points. The university of Western Ontario, Toronto and York followed with 44, 34, and 29 points respectively. The Waterloo team had to depend on their tremendous depth to take the team title achieving only three first place finishes in the ten event card. The women were responsible for two of the three first place honors. Joan Eddy took the 800 meters with an early season 2:29 clocking. Marg Cumming came through behind Joan in the three competitor field in a 2 minutes 33 seconds clocking. The other first place went to the men in the long jump as Dennis McGann squeaked through in that event. Accompanied by warriors Gord Robertson and Al Schwieger, the trio came out of the qualifying round holding down the first three positions in what was shaping up to be a Waterloo sweep. The finals proved to be a different affair. Glen Milligan of Queens and Western’s Willie Clark began to show good form and put out efforts which placed them between McGann, the eventual winner, and Robertson who had to .
settle for fourth. Schwieger took fifth in the tight competition. Sprinter Mike Murray had no idea what to expect from the other competitors in the 50 meter event. Even more so, he had no idea of what he would accomplish having not been on a track or in a training session since the fall championships. He had little difficulty getting through the qualifying round outleaning Dave Quibell of Toronto who represented Canada late this summer. The final had a few surprises to offer, the first being the vision of the starter who allowed Quibell to get a two stride lead on the field before firing the gun.. Murray could not pull Quibell back with the disadvantage the starter offered. Swift Hugh Fraser of Queens barely nipped Quibell at the wire to win in 5.6 seconds with Mike.third, clocking 5.8. Hurdler George Neeland was also in that sprint event because the meet did not offer competition in his hurdle-speciality. In a gentlemanly -fashion, Neeland allowed all other competitors in his qualifying heat to leave the blocks before him and politely finished out of the qualifiers. Waterloo claimed two second -place finishes along with Cumming’s in ‘the 800. Bruce Walker ran a 1:59.6 in ‘the men’s 800 to finish behind Larry Reynolds of the hosting York team. Dave Northey was outkicked in the final yards of the 5000 meters by Rich Houston as Houston claimed the only first place position for Western.
Al Monks ,was the only third place Waterloo finisher. Monks ran 52.6 seconds in the two lap 400 meter race to finish behind the eventual winner Dave‘ Jarvis of Queens. Because the meet is held in early season, the Waterloo guys passed up entries in the relay events which would necessitate athletes doubling within a few hours. The university of Toronto took the two-mile relay race which saw them run-away from the favoured Western Ontario crew. Queens outlasted Toronto in the shorter mile-relay event and finished a scant five-tenth of a second a-head in 3:29.3. Their exclusion from the relay events however, did not lose for the warriors the lead they had established earlier in the afternoon although Queens managed to close the scoring gap. Although the Waterloo team only had three firsts, no other team had as many. Fourth placed York took two, as did Queens. Ten university teams from Ontario competed in this studentorganized event. Bob Hamilton, the 1506 meter winner, and Dave Smith both of York planned and directed the meet. Students were involved in the officiating of the smoothly-run event.

vV.IC council Female athletes will come under a new system of scrutiny with the plans adopted by the Women’s Intercollegiate Couri’cil. The athletic award system has been revamped so that one, - two, or three points per sport will be given according to the female’s contribution. Competitors gain possession of Athena heads, Athena pins, university mugs, plaques or Pinkie rings with the amount of points accumulated. An allotment of twenty points - under the new system brings the athlete the top honors offered by the council,. With the new blood of Di Scarffe as secretary, the council discussed plans to publish a second and final newsletter for the end of the athletic season. Summaries of all Athena teams’ final standings will highlight this edition. Plans for the future include a greater push for publicity in the field of women’s athletics and further membership on the council.

Tankmen
over
The Warriors swim team continued to set records around the OUAA league. On Saturday the tankmen tripped to Windsor for a meet with the Lancers and the Guelph gryphons. The uniwat squad downed both opponents handily. Rolfe McEwan lead the parade in establishing two pool records in winning the 1000 yard freestyle in lld9.9 and the 500 yard event in 5:32.8.
The otli-er pool mark fell to Bruce Henry when he went 23.2 in the 50 freestyle to down Bramwell of Guelph by at least a full _second. Doug Lorriman won the 200-yard individual medley in a fast 2: 17.2 which was his fastest performance ever. Jim Low also went his personal best in the event. Team co-captain George Roy who is just coming back off an illness went 2:19 to win the butterfly event. . Karl Brubaker had a race on his hands in the lOO-yd freestyle but won the event by just a tenth d a second in 52.3 seconds over the Guelph competitor. Brubaker also took the 200 yd event with warriors Graham Patterson coming home third. ‘in breaststroke, freshman Doug Munn who hails from Paris, won in the fastest time of his career, a 2Z.9 beating Dave Sturch of Guelph by a wide margin.
Well, those marvelous warriors won their fourth game in a row on Saturday, but it didn’t seem like much of an achievement. Their victims were the lowly Brock Privates who were’ treated to their seventh consecutive loss. Although aided by ex-warrrior Gord Lance, the Brock team had little scoring punch and offered meagre resistance throughout the game. Unexpectedly though, the squad from Brock took a commanding lead in the early going. Paul Bilewicz fought back courageously to knot the score at two-all and the brock boys could not score again until the wafriors had assumed control with a substantial lead. , Play for the rest of the half was very scrambly and lacked the( excitement and class that has been, exhibited by the warriors in past games. The half-time score of 41-21 exemplifies how the home team dominated what play there was. They did play a little better in the ‘second half but at one point we thought we heard the Cracker Club mating call. ‘Upon further investigation it sadly proved ‘to be only a dutiful fan who had drifted into rueful repose and was snoring his approval of the action. In the last ten minutes of the iame, it seemed as if the Privates had executed a tactical retreat to their dressing room as -they allowed the warriors to stretch their lead to 41 points. (which was what the warriors finally won by, 90-49. ) -
Windsor
Jim Low was awarded second place in the 200 backstroke after a number of swimmers including warriors Eric Robinson, were disqualified. Both Warriors relay teams were downed by Guelph but the free was just out-touched by a Veteran Doug split second. Lorriman however did a sensational 100 yd split in 52.2 seconds, the best in his long career, and making him one of the warriors top speedsters. Diver Lester Newby came second on both the one and three m’etre boards doing his highest degree of difficulty. Turning now to the Athenas swim team, the gal’s travelled to Guelph to compete in the first annual OWUAA relay meet. No team scores were kept at the meet but all girls put in good times for this part of the season. When considering that nearly everyone swam a maximum lineup of five events (and one with six), everyone was very happy and look forward to a good showing by the host squad at the Waterloo International Invitational this Saturday. So far entries have been received from -15 schools, five from the states. The latest entries came from Kent State, Laurentian University, Queen’s and Guelph. More are expected to come in early this week.
“It looks all right to me”, said ace reporter Burko, the game from high in the stands Saturday night.

Dead-eye laaniste lead the team again with 21 points. There were a few good plays by individual warriors and once in a while a good team effort, but on the whole the dribblers play was not up to par. This could be attributed to the total ineptness of their opposition. They really didn’t have to play very well to beat brock, fortunately. The big question is if they will be able to cut the mustard in their

Gay is what
Has great expectations reader makes no effort
“We may not be totally suctiessful but we are trying to do our dumndest” The letter from the “uniwat reader” who has a lot of negative criticizm to offer about gay liberation is a sad testament to just how disoriented and alienated a person can become from himself when the guiltproducing socialization processes of the culture are effective. No doubt this person needs help and contrary to what -he says, gay liberation tries to provide this type of assista rice. GLM has successfully raised the consciousness of the many new students who have joined and become active within the movement. We can only do this, however, if people contact us and make it known, if only implicitly, that this is what they desire. Perhaps, as your reader suggests, we need to place more emphasis on consciousness-raising (CR*) groups but, when this has been suggested in the past, little enthusiasm was expressed; least of all was endorsement forthcoming from your “uniwat reader” who was no doubt feeling ’ sorry for himself in some corner of the world. So if someone can explain to us just how you can help people when they refuse to be helped by avoiding any contact with GLM while condemning it bitterly from the outside, then we will, be eternally grateful. Some of your reader’s crit icizms are downright slanderous as they impugn the motives and ignore the many achievements of the many serious-minded and hardworking members of GLM. As president of that organization I intend to put the record straight. The opportunity to socialize in a “safe atmosphere” on Monday nights is an important aspect of the movement for some who’ attend these ” koffeeklatches”. We do not insist that people who feel unsafeexhibit their involvement in GLM. The meetings provide the opportunity for people to make friends as well, as to hear speakers and participate in . directing the movement. The “safety” of this atmosphere is important to many people. The claim that GLM is not attempting to meet the expectations of most gays is pure calumny against the dedicated and selfless members who give so much of their time to the mowment. We may not be totally successful1 but we sure ‘do-ourare trying to damndest!
The task of liberating gays of their own guilt and fear and of liberating the society which produces this is a gigantic undertaking. The movement at Waterloo has been more active and dynamic than any other group of comparable size in the country. We have made herculean efforts to educate the. university and general public through our forums, publications, speeches, television and radio programs, demonstrations etc., thereby striking at the roots of the problem. At the same time we have attempted to meet the needs of personal liberation through meetings, discussion groups, dances, parties, pubnights etc. If your “uniwat reader” were to take somewhat of an active part in GLM, at least to the point of voicing his objections to members of the movement at meetings or in private rather than taking paranoid pot-shots at us from the safety of his partly-opened ’ closet, then we might be able to consider how to give the movement more of the type of relevance he- suggests. “Gay is what WE make it” John Dunbar, President.
WE make it
It is blatantly apparent in the “uniwat reader’s” letter to this column in January 11th chevron that he had great expectations of the gay liberation movement but also that he has made little concrete effort himself to make it work. Not only does he lack Mr. Parrott’s strength of conviction in failing to identify himself but he seems all too eager to criticize without offering a more viable alter~ native. The GLM, like every other organization, is only a group of individuals striving to adjust to the fullest degree possible to a situation which in the very least, has a great .deaI of constant negative societal pressure: at the same time, trying to re-educate the environment which exerts this pressure.

There are times when there seems absolutely nothing to say; this is one of those times. Only a slightly murky sense of tradition an$da rapidly decreasing momentum make a masthed statement even seem necessary this week. The Dolphins fell apart in a lacklustre superbowl, Nixon announced another troop withdrawal-virtually assuring his re-election next fall-and the only campus news was about a possible embezzlement of students’ money. What is there to say? And who’s listening anyway? The overwhelming, stifling sense of apathy on this campus makes it harder and harder for us here at the chevron to care about writing. Towing, the university act, the federation referendum, the irrational silence of Rick Page and other supposed campus “leaders”-all have been met with a shattering silence by the students. Is there any concern by the students about the fact that those promised jobs which have always been waiting at the end of the degree trail are‘no longer waiting? Is anyone mad that this degree factory no longer has a ready market for you, it’s mass product? Is anyone wondering why there is no move now to alter and adapt the university to its new role in a society which no longer has enough work for everyone? A university, by its supposed nature, should be in the front of movements to change the institutions to fit the ‘present or future needs of a society. Why then is this university just another of the institutions which need changing? Doesn’t anyone out there care? And if so, why haven’t you let the rest of us know about it. No one so far this year has spoken out publicly (through this student newspaper or any other means) for or against the university act, the towing procedures or anything, except for those few chevron staff members who have been concerned enough to find things out and write about them. Has Rick Page or any other “leader” spoken out about the university of Waterloo act? No, only the chevron has even informed the students that such an act exists. Has any “leader” told the students what’s going on with the towing mania ? Only the chevron. Has any proponent or enemy of the federation referendum spoken out, now that just a month is left before students have to vote on this important question? Absurdly, only chevron staffers have informed the students about it so far. It’s getting lonely. We should be reporting what others on campus are saying about all these things, not being the only ones writing about them. Since Page’s melodramatic trick on the students-in which he slyly quit without quitting-he has become the great silent leader. What this campus does not need right now is a great silent leader. And that is what one says when there seems absolutely nothing to say. As our friends the Ducks say, “Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse.” On a frigid sunday eve, the sport typewriters were clicking with the following loyal servants doing their naughty deeds: ron smith, pat reid, peter hopkins, sally kemp, wheels (doin’ his thing at the b-ball games), dennis mcgann, 50-word-a-minute ann stiles (typing, that is) and larry burko was,at the hockey game, or was he? ; photo-ers: brian cere, gord moore, randy hannigan, Scott gray, dudley paul and bill Iindsay; entertainment: david cubberley, paul stuewe, ian angus and janet stoody (and alex smith, who spiritually stands behind all we do); newsies: Charles plater, brute Steele, brute murphy, nigel burnett, randy hannigan, joan Walters, bill Sheldon and george kaufman.

of GLM but to help
It would be the extremely rare homophile who could not, left on his own, with no social sanctions find his own choice of sexuality both physically and emotionally rewarding. So if the GLM’s only aspect was a “koffeeklatch” in a “safe atmosphere” (which it certainly is not), it would be worthwhile in view of the reinforcement in self-esteem such encounters give to its participants.
-
Here are forty or fifty others like myself, who, although they are going through similar hang-ups, are independent and concerned enough to get out and share experiences and views in the hope that both themselves and others will benefit from this exchange. It is both naive and illinformed to I say “psychiatry and social-service agencies are useless” but unfortunately it is true that only the more advanced ones can be of any use to a gay person. Statistics show that psychiatric “cures” have a less than 4 percent cha,nce of success. The real need of the gay person is first for self-acceptance and then a feeling of society’s acceptance. They want society to respect them as an individual whose sexuality may diverge fromthe pu bl ica Ily-accepted norm but -who nevertheless can contribute fully and meaningfully to his culture, thereby finding a meaningful expression for his existence. The GLM by its very presence and by its numerous educative activities offers an outiet to the gay person so that he can try to ‘adjust to himself and the notso-pleasant position he is forced to assume in society. They are attempting to change the situation. which causes the bulk of this problem and provide a muchneeded environment for socializing in a non-stress situation that the existing society hastried to deny the homophile. The “uniwat reader” obviously needs help but doesn’t seem to want to help himself. Wallowjng in self-pity and crying recriminations at the only self-help available, in fact the only help available, seems all that he is able to do. The GLM doesn’t claim to have all the answers for the group or for any one individual but provides the only sounding board in this area for ideas and actions that offer any hope of help or change for the homophile. “Gay Glenn
