Budget cuts force

last friday at his ie at the chevron bout the Ruthie

plans are going to have to be made soon. Hc told the several hundred Instructors in the arts theatre that his administration has already had to make some “hard decisions” about the budget. A cut of more than three million dollars has been made so far in the budget which stretches from july 1, 1971, to april 30, 1973. Although Matthews didn’t specify any of his hard decisions, _ - they presumably included such items as non-renewal of some professors’ contracts and the firing of lab workers. The university’s difficultiesand those of virtually every college and university in Canada this year--stem from a surprising drop this past fall both in the rate of student increase and the number of students who drop_ out before graduating. Matthews told the faculty that this ‘ ‘tll a jor discontinuity in --enrolment” has been felt by the ontire university structure the past lew months: Hc said the budget predictipns for next fall have been made “to the best of our ability”, though no one can tell now whether last fall was an exception or the beginning of a downward trend in college ciduca tion. A recent government survey of university “drop-outs” showed that 40 percent quit school to work lulltime, 40 percent ’ had simply hwitched to another college, four percent are travelling and three percent are looking for work. Forty percent of those who dropped out cited financial reasons, another forty percent cited what the government termed “lack of motivation” and 15 percent blamed “personal reasons.” Whatever the reasons, he said, the universities must face a reevaluation of the services they can offer and their rate of growth. The departm’ent budgets were due from the chairmen friday, so

the administration will soon know where the budgetary&retch will be the tightest. But, he warned the audience, “a31 departments are facing budget restrictions to an extent probably not known before” at this university. “We need to be more explicit about our plans for the future,” he said. “The existence of a real academic plan was not essential to us until now. Before, a new program could be added without hurting other programs, because of the consistently expanding rate of student enrolment. But, since provincial support depends on the number of students cbnroled, now programs can only be added at’ the expense of existing courses.

Sociolocjy

-Matthews

In order that all members of the university faculty have a say in the re-evaluation of the academic program, Matthews announced that soon departmental meetings will be held. A new balance of the departmental offerings is needed, he said, to fit “the foreseeable needs of the larger community while maintaining the quality of our existing program .” “It will not be an easy task.” The new balance, he stressed cannot be i_mposed “from the top down”, but must be based on feedback from the faculty. The office of the vice-president academic will serve as the clearing-house of feedback in the re-evaluation, and department heads are being contacted as to the procedure, Ma’ ?ews said.

union

When the sociology union executive met this year, treasurer Cathy Attack found a number of discrepencies in the books of the year 1969-70 and no records at all from 1970-71. There were a ‘humber of cancelled cheques from ‘69-70-all of which were signed by only one person, then president David M. Hart. In ‘69-70 the records show that no activities and no financial undertakings were done until february. Sot union received their grant from artsdc but sponsored only one wine and cheese party. But at the end of the year sot union books showed the treasury to be almost empty. This year’s exec has a number of cancelled cheques which they feel might account for the missing money. These cheques are: On march 17, $175.50 to Jim Robertson, reason for this payment, unknown; on may 7, $54.48, to Macdonald Electric Company in payment for a tape recorder; on june 23, $200 cashed at a bank in alberta and thought to have had something to do with a youth project; and, on july 7, $140 to the Waterloo Students’ Co-op, reason for payment unknown (this cheque was returned NSF). The financial records show further that on apri123 an amount of $100 was shown as having been with-

“All of us must be involved.” He iid not say whether or not students should have a say in the future of the university. 3ecause of the budget problems, he s; id, the finishing date on the construction of several buildings in the next few years may have to be set back as much as a year. The planned Kinesiology building, (fall 1973)) environmental studies building (fall, 1973) and a lecture building (fall ‘74)-all slated for the south campus, will probably be delayed a year, he predicted. _ He also told the faculty members that Dean George Cross is preparing a brief in reply to the recently-issued Wright Report on post-secondary education, and urged all to make their views known on the subject.

unbalanced, drawn but there is no cheque nor accounting for it. A further $200 is unaccounted for from before the time of the cheque to the Co-op. Neither the executive of 70-71 or this ye”+ have ever seen or found knowledge of the tape recorder that was bought. The president of 1970-71 says that she knew that some money was to be spent on a youth project in Alberta but she was not expecting it to be as high as $200. She also said that a number of books had been ripped off from the sot union library during the summer before she took office. A number as high as two-thirds of the total number of books was mentioned. President from 1970-71 says she does not know why there are no financial books for her year. The treasurer from that year is now living in Vancouver. However she says that sot union did ‘not receive any money until january. The union sponsored a film series and took out a number of subscriptions to magazines and periodicals, some of which are still in effect. In an effort to clear up some of the uncertainties that surround the financial undertakings of the sot union in ‘69-70 the sot union exec is considering reo--2sting that the federation audit their books.

Citizens _

MONTREA ( PI)-The poor and unempl Pi yed i Montreal have united to fight the government’s systematic neglect of their problems. Last week, 15 citizens’ committees in the Point St. Charles area, grouped under the banner “Du pain su’a planche” (bread on the table), joined forces with other groups from the Montreal area to form a common front. Another organization with similar interests IS the two-year old Greater Montreal Anti-Poverty coordinating Committee (GMAPCC). Toget her the two groups represent a sizeable portion of the Montreal working class population. Both groups have recently attacked the Federal Local Initiatives Program (LIP), a $150 million winter version of the nowfabled Opportunities For Youth Plan, devised by the Trudeau government to slow down Canada’s soaring unemployment rate. GMAPCC and the Common Front call the program a liberal election ploy that fails to meet the needs of the poor communities. “Projectssubmitted by professional agencies, foundations, and universities are being accepted., while those submitted by citizen groups are being rejected for totally unacceptable reasons”, says Helen Bastien, chairman of the GMAPCC. Only two projects submitted by GMAPCC members were accepted. “They projects.

program is just to make propaganda for the liberal party, ” charges Jean-Claude Naud, spokesperson for Du pain su’a planche. Of the twenty-five projects submitted by that group which would have provided employment for over 400 people, only two were accepted. Conflict between the people and the government reached a peak last thursday january 13 when around a hundred angry GMAPCC representatives occupied the manpower centre on Union street, while five representatives met with manpower officials. After “friendly negotiations, they secured : with Federal 0 a meeting and Immigration Manpower minister Otto Lang in Ottawa on tuesday, january 18. Lang is in charge of the LIP. of four l the acceptance projects from Du pain su’a planche which had not yet been approved. These include the People’s Library and a sculpture studio. l the review of all rejected projects. Also discussed at the meeting was a one month extension of the deadline for projects. The day before the occupation, over 200 people from citizen groups from all over the city met in Point St. Charles to form the common front. They represented organlzations from areas like Cote-des-Neiges, Rosemount, and St. Henri. They elected a COordinating committee for the front and planned the strategy for Thursday’s confrontation.

Sociology Artsoc The Sociology Union has lost the services of Wendy Miles in the capacity of third year rep as of the union’s council meeting of last thursday. She says that she has become disillusioned with the degree of social as compared to political and educational undertakings of the union. She does not feel that the union has been doing enough apart from the social aspect.

Mathsoc A bitch session was held last Wednesday night to enable students and faculty to exchange their ideas about the third year Analysis course, math 332. This course is compulsory for all honours math students. Because of its difficulty and theoretrical content it has become one of the more unpopular courses in the math department. A few third year students in coop pointed out that this course was not training them for postgraduate work. But this argument was easily rebuffed by faculty who claimed to know from their own experience which courses were necessary for a good math background. Further, it was argued, motivation in learning the course was unimportant as the material covered was so basic to higher math that its relevance could not be questioned. But a few professors did agree with students that significant

rep

changes were needed. These are already working to try to make the course more relevant to the students. Ideas such as these and the time to have them expressed allowed each person at the session to leave feeling that something had been accomplished. It is hoped that in future more sessions such as these will be. arranged to allow greater communication between faculty and students.

neglect

of Labour and Michel - Federation Chartrand of the Confederation of National Trade Unions were present at the three-hour meeting to assure the groups of their untons’ full support of theiraction against the government. The people’s anger was plain. AS one speaker put it, “We will not accept the crumbs of a federal program. We will continue t0 struggle until the end, even if it is necessary to replace the actual power with a new popular power.” Part of the leadership for the people’s actions came from the Point St. Charles area. Active opposition began last tuesday january 11 when the Pain su’a planche group invited the press to a general meeting of its 15: member citizen’s committees. One sign in the meeting hall that afternoon called Canada a “Terre des Llgotes” (land of the enslaved), and on the floor posters of Bourassa and Trudeau were used for wiping boots. The Point residents unleashed thrir disgust In verbal attacks on their federal MP, Gerard Loiselle (Liberal-Ste. Anne) present at the meeting. “He’s not going to do he’s been around for 25 hasn’t done a thing,” man. “Why should we him?”

anything; years and said one appeal to

The MP’s confused attempt to explain his actions were drowned out by the thunderous pounding on desks and the floor, and loud cries of “Maudits politiciens”. After the meeting a discussion group was organized to analyze the past events and to plan further action. The groups agreed to ignore Loiselle. “It’s not for us he’s working. He works for the government,” said one woman. The people also agreed that it was necessary “to organize collectively”. As one resident put it, “Our power lies in being united.” Th’e anger of ’ the Point St. Charles residents is understandable. In an area where 40 per cent of the residents are on welfare, and the average family survives on 3500 dollars a year, the government winter employment program could have been useful. But the people soon’ learned that the government wasn’t at all interested in solving

of problems their problems. After five weeks the government had rejected sixteen of the community projects submitted under Du pain su’a planche. Seven are awaiting decision; only two were accepted. One of these was a sewing club for 12 people; the other was a service-secours (towing service, snow removal, skating rinks) which employs ten people. The point residents charge that their projects were refused because the government is afraid of the poor people organizing collectively to solve their own problems. Among the projects rejected were: a mobile clinic for, the “prevention and fighting of disease”, Day care centres for sick mothers, and reception centres for health centres. Also rejected were: 0 a consumer group to instruct consumers on credit, loans and purchasing and a food co-op. (Statistics Canada recently announced that a sharp increase in food prices pushed the consumer price index to its largest November-to-December leap in a decade. Food prices alone were up 7.9 per cent for the year. 0 a family planning service service of “avocats ea popu la ires” to inform welfare recipients of their rights and of welfare laws. 0 “Les jeunes travailleurs”-a project aimed at teaching young unemployed persons (18-25 years) about labor and union laws, accident insurance, etc.

The government has also been negligent in dealing with the problem of education in the Point community. 42.8 per ‘cent of the, high school students in the Point St Charles drop out within two years. There is also a huge teacher turnover each year, as middle class teachers find it difficult to understand the community’s problems. In order to solve some of the serious troubles of overcrowded schools, a group of parents formed the Point Improvement of Education Committee (PIEC). Their program calls for parents to work as paid and or volunteer teacher’s aides or tutors. In this way, a PIEC pamphlet says, parents “can educate teachers in the ways of their community” while the teachers instruct “the parents about teaching methods in the school. The PIEC also demands a greater say in decisionmaking for the-school arguing that “parents have the advantage (over teachers) of being able to fight harder for necessary changes since there is no threat of losing their jobs”. “The time has come”, the pamphlet continues, “for citizens to take matters into our own hands, and fight our own battles withour working through the elected -politicians. No one else knows our needs as much as we do. Why shouldn’t we be the ones to fight for our rights?” The government rejected their project. -

Trudeau

tells’

SUDBURY (CUP&-Last week Pierre Trudeau told the people of Canada that there are “many, many jobs” available in most parts of Canada. Speaking to italian workers in ’ Toronto, Trudeau said: “there are jobs in the mines, there are jobs on the farms out west where some farmers complain they can’t get help and in Ontario they have to import migrant workers from the West Indies to work on fruit farms because they cant find workers here? As if to believe Trudeau’s glib assertion of the existence- of all those ’ jobs, International Nickel company, Sudbury’s principal employer has announced that it is

of iobs

laying off 725 mine workers within the next few days. Over the next three months 1,240 more workers will lose their jobs. Unemployed workers across the country must surely be wondering where all those jobs Trudeau is talking about are. INCO’s other main operation at Thompson Manitoba is also cutting back operations due to the depressed state of the economy and the consequent slump in sales. This cutback has already cost many their jobs and more layoffs are forecast for the future throughout the mining industry. Workers at the Sudbury INCO site will lose some hospitalization benefits on the first day of the layoff and insurance benefits within 30 days. “It’s almost like putting them up against the wall and shooting them”, said Mickey Maguire, president of local 6566 of the United Steel Workers of America. ‘In every big city you find pages job offerings in the newspapers”, millionaire Trudeau went on . “of ten people are unemployed because they want a job at three dollars an hour instead of’$1.75 or because they don’t want to move,_ There is work available in Canada but sometimes you have to move to get it and accept something above the minimum wage and not buy a house in the first year.” The 1,965 who are losing their jobs at sudbury may find it hard to agree with Trudeau as they take their place with the 6.2 per cent of the Canadian work force unemployed this month. And whether the prime minister realizes it or not, january is a bad month to try and find a job on a fruit farm.

The main emphasis now is to maintain jobs while encouraging Industrial expansion. I - Major issues will turn a ay from ‘wages and concentrate Y on job guarantees, compensation for temporary or permanent.loss of jobs, and the creation of management-labor consulta,tive bodies. Two key areas will be affected: education and social sciences. Specialists say that education* must be geared to a “multipletask” standard where a student engages @ several -options, leaving hiin the opportunity to change jobs when the demand Indicates. --These sepecialists see I the fyture worker as a man who changes jobs on an a’verage of every eight years. The great danger in this t,rend IS that education may not be able to keep pace with change and new ideas will be outmoded by the time they are put into practice. Perhaps the most’importantand most Illusory-task of the future is in the field of human research. Very little pure research is undertaken in the field of social sciences. For example,, if there is at some point no necissity to work, for a living, or indeed no opportunity for most-to work? One asks tihat goals or motivations an individua! will have. Some ‘of the more obvious challenges are Ibeing ,met by government, management and labor, but the three groups are mainly at odds over solutions. Proposed amendments to the Canada Labor Code, for instance, call for a go-day warning period by management of intended changes “likely to affect the terms and conditions of employment of a significant number of employees.” ’ This allows’for the re-opening of a contract-making loc,kouts or strikes a constant threat. The Canadian Manufacturers Association terms the proposals “unwarranted .and counterproductive” and claims management propensity to innovate will be Iim.ited by the power of unions. The association claims that this warning would alert cornpetition to changes. It points out that htere is already enough legislation to protect the worker, such as unemployment insuratice, notice and pay provicions, manpower retraining, transitional assistance benefits and man-, power relocation and adjustment assistance programs. However, most of these programs are designed to cure the ills of unemployment rather ’ than prevent them.

change Proposed Quebec legislation (Bill-C-253) has also come under attack from the Conseil du Patronat, a Quebec-based management group.

’*

The Conseil says the main drawbacks in the proposed amendments include: l The “virtual impossibility” of precisely defining the term technological change, leading to / a great number of purely ad-. mmistrative changes being construed as technological. l The new reality of a strike volatile economy. l The creation of of factors that would jeopardize employeeemployer relations “in an age where important ‘industrial changes are constantly occurring.” It suggests that sblutions be based bn the recommendations of the Report of the;“rask Force on Labor Relations which stated : l There is a need for more emphasis on education for adjustment &-all levels to ensure “ti\aximum human\adaptability.” @There IS a need to maintain a high level of employment so that other jobs are available for those displaced by industrial conversion. @There IS a need for an active L labor market policy designed to facilitate mobility between jobs through Improved information, counselling, upgrading, retraining. relocation and income maintenance programs. l There IS a need to rrinimize, through the developmept of as many fringe benefit plans as Cjossible. the sacrifice workers have to make when they move from job to job. l There IS a need to expand community dislocation programs ’ designed to facilitate either the redevelopinent of communities threatened by adverse industrial ,shifts or the movement of idled resou‘r&s to other localities wher they can be employed. The federal government has already initiated programs on these recommendations but he cbntention arises from in- -r terpretation. To carry out this massive. social and economic change requires a change of attitude by laborand management. Canadians will also have to gear to massive spending programs if,they want to see a return for their efforts. The Canadian Labor Congress, the thinking arm of labor bodies In the countr”y, does not oppose the Introduction of automation but says it is eeking tp find and adopt measures which can cushion the impact of innovations and assure the greatest benefits. Its demands will surely be Incorporated in contract negotiations, a move that could lead to greater turbulence in . years ahead. The demands of automation are greaf but the potential for a viable economy are there. No matter which course is taken, automation will continue Its frantic pace. Almost every worker will eventually be affected, but not necessarily in a negative. fashion.

The conspicious absence of faculty in the arts theatre thursday, when professor Robin Mathews discussed the plight of Canadian graduate students, could best be construed as faculty contempt for the future of Waterloo:s graduate students. Despite the fact that every faculty member received a personal invitation from the graduate student union, who sponsored Mathews appearance, only a handful of faculty showed up at the theatre. students are If, as Mathews stated, “graduate among the most ignorant people in this country about the forces shaping their career possibilities,” they must have come away from the discussion with a somewhat clearer picture. In no uncertain terms he told them that Canadian, and Canadian educated graduate students face the toughest, or one of the toughest, employment situations anywhere, and nothing, at any level of authority is being done to alleviate their difficutlies. lie pointed out that while Canadians compete with the world for jobs in Canada, they are prevented from competing outside Canada because of the laws of other countries. “Those of you from the third world know that when alien academics are brought in, they are never brought in on a permanent basis, but on short term renewable contracts which of course are not renewed when citizens trained for these positions are available” he said. Reading a letter from-a post doctoratal student in the natural sciences he outlined the situation which the graduates would soon have to cope with. This postdoctoral student (who shall remain nameless) applied for a job in Brazil but was turned down because he was not a Brazilian subject. He then applied to the British Museum and was told he - could only be considered if his mother or father was a British subject. He next applied to San Diego in the United States and was told he would have to wait a minimum of 15 months for a visa. Finally he applied to the university of Western Ontario and was told that there was no hope for him as he was competing with 1,200 applicants from all over the world. “There is no planning whatever and no one really ,knows where the people now being trained are going to go,” Mathews complained. Speaking of a recent study which estimated that pretty soon 500 Ph.D’s in , Philosophy and 200 in Political Science will be coming out of the Canadian universities, he pointed out that in these fields there are practically no jobs going at all. Yet in spite of these kinds of -figures Both stories

_lle suggested that as Canada slips into the U.S. empire, politically, culturally, and economically, we are run more.and more by managers from the empire, and we will have to fold or fight. He added that foreign professors already here who treat the c’anadian community and Canadian interests with respect need not fear the shape of the future in this csountry . They should if they intend to stay, get off the tax holiday and take out Canadian citizenship. “The reason there’s a deepening sense of unease in this country is because non-Canadian faculty often fight against Canadian curriculum and the training and hiring of Canadians, while they grapevine in non-Canadians. Canadians battle against Canadian sellout but the aliens often make the situation more difficult,” he said. The latest figures on graduate students reveal that non-Canadians still make up fifty percent or more of all fulltime Ph.D students in Canada, while eighty percent of post doctoral positions in Science go to non-Canadians. . Commenting on Canadian content he stated that fine arts faculties are being run mostly by nonCanadians in this country, and pradtically no Canadian art history is being taught in any of them. This is a result of living in the American Empire of taste. Commenting further on the arts he told how Arts Canada which has an American editor and hires American art critics, got $75,000 this year in government grants whilst the journal of Canadian Studies had to fight hard to receive $3,800. He also mentioned the medical schools which turn away approximately .I200 qualified Canadians every year, while the Department of National Health and Welfare imports ,120O doctors from abroad. On the question pf Canadian Studies at Waterloo Mathews said that while praiseworthy it was much the same thing as black power studies in the U.S. He felt that departments should be drawing on Canadian materials in all kinds of courses even when not directly relating to Canada. With foreign faculty however, this was not possible because they were ignorant of Canadian materials. His reading of a Toronto editorial from;a Toronto paper dated 1888 which urged that Canada train its own doctors, lawyers, and university professors rather than import them from abroad emphasized the irony of Canada’s position today. As Mathews put it, we are going backwards rather than forwards. Colonial mindedness in 1888 was understandable, today, 105 years later, its pa thetic.

said. Of the 700 Americans which have been hired in the past 12 years in political science tell me of one of international stature from Neil Wood at York, to Kaplan, to Lentner at McMaster.” Math graduate student Jeff Roulet pointed out to Diem that although non-Canadians might have technical expertise they lack historical perspective. He cited the case of the non-Canadians in the Alpine Club who wanted to cease advertising the clubs activities to keep the wilderness areas to themselves. Roulet pointed out that this might be alright in Britain or Europe where mountain climbing and trailing is part of a youth’s upbringing, but this is not so in Canada. The only way the youth of Canada get to know about climbing is through the advertising of club’s such as The Alpine. The suggestion was that non-Canadian faculty have no historical perspectve on Canada and Canadians, and can apply their expertise ,in ways that are often times detrimental to both. When asked for a solution to the problem of takeover in the universities, Mathews stated that a moratorium on all foreign hiring was essential until the education ministers got together to frame a .’ policy. ’ He added that when the firings start those on the tax-holiday should be the first to go.

PUTTING

Tax evaders must go/ first During the discussion which followed thurday’s forum on Canadianization Robin Mathews, was called a “Hitlerite” and a racist by former american professor Aubrey Diem. Diem stated “that although much of what Mathews said was correct in a limited way, it was full of shit.” He added that in 1960, before he came the Canadian university system was pretty ho-hum especially at Waterloo and Lutheran. Diem went on to say that universities have little influence on society and that it doesn’t really matter who teaches in them. He expressed fear that Waterloo’s simplistic-minded students might be contaminated by Mathews’ speech. History grad Peter Warrian suggested that this idea of Canadian universities being inferior was perhaps tied in with the idea of the guild and the business of tenure. Warrian also pointed out that a lot of th&nured positions at Waterloo were held by Americans. Diem, however, felt that “some countries have mediocre people as far as academics are concerned. Everyone knows that Italy is not known for its academic excellence”, he said. Professor George Haggar (who had been quietly observing proceedings up to this point) finally lost his patience and spoke up. “Aubrey I think after 12 years you have been in, but not of, Canada;” he

the ants forefoot part II ihe Ant’s Forefoot; Coach House press, 401 (rear) huron st. tot-onto 181.

Cana’dian publications are somewhat scarce these days. The few that are available are usually either praised on the sole merit that they are Canadian or they are set aside as being cute but unimportant. The former inspires a maudlin patriotism while the later displays the feeling of inferiority that is rampant concerning Canadian content. In this light I found myself taking a particular interest in the coach house press. The Ant’s Forefoot is a collection of poetry published by the Coach House Press in Toronto. It is an attractive, well laid out anthology which comes out three times a year at the cost of $1.50 per copy. The edition is 500 copies. The publications appear at first glance to be almost campy or ‘trippy ’ . One might wonder whether they sustain themselves by being conscious of having a standard type of audience--the ‘avant-garde’. While pondering this question I chancecl to meet a number of people who have either worked with or have maintained some association with “a bunch of freaks spaced out on poetry”-a description given with some respect of the coach house press. Their office reflects this description. The Ant’s Forefoot was supported last summer by a grant from the government of Canada. It was one of the few publications supported by such means, which reaped substantial positive gain for themselves as well as for its

The ‘Faces...the Issues...the Answers... But what ivadhe question? -Last wednesday, chevron writers interviewed candidates -ih the federation of students. presidential election to be held this Wednesday. Answers to questions are reproduced here, in almost verbatim form. The candidates’ responses were recorded in shorthand and because the chevron took every precaution to retain accuracy when transcribmg and editing for print, the chevron cannot be held responsible for errors or ommissions that may be claimed. The fourth candidateDoug SimpsorG-could not attend the interview session and though the chevron , arranged for him to pick-up a copy of the questions, no-one did so. By and large, .

Question _february however, continues operates What do

dne. The federation continues to exist after 23 with a compulsory fee. Student council, still cannot get quorum; the executive to run the federation. The same civil service events; resistance to change is at a peak. you do?

BLANEY: There wiil have to be a regulation within the -federation administration; there are a lot more people- on campus interested in participating in events. In particular, BSA (Board of student activities), will have to be broken down into at least two units. As far as not getting quorum, societies will have to be contacted; they wiii‘have to put pressure on their representatives to attend meetings. If this doesn’t work, then the rule concerning the missing of three meetings without notification will have to be applied. Between these two, you wouldn’t have much trouble getting quorum. Perhaps the reason people are not coming is that council is not doing anything to merit their attention. WEISFELD: This-is a political question because from the federation meetings I attended I found that there were a few efforts to get things going but nottiing was done as a follow-up by the executive. If there’s no function in the mind of the federation then councilors feel there’s no reason to come to meetings. The federation doesn’t have any perspective and this makes people bop-off. MOORE: There must be a campus-wide attempt fostered by the federation to inform people in a very personai way of the things happening on campus--: you have to help people understand in relation to themseives and their own lives what action means to them.* Councii has to begin to attract people to it-it has to have confidence in the campus. Most people don’t know what the -federation is doing. Peopie are very alienated from it. There’s going to have to be a sharing of the power which would be part and parcel of this campus-wide education program. About the reps-l would hope it wouldn’t happen, but the rule should be enforcedif necessary.

Question Two : Lutheran university the government).

The university buys Waterloo (or the two are amalgamated by Do you protest? .

BLANEY: That’s a bit of a stinker because you have given no terms under which this is done...Yes, I would certainiy protest personally and hopefully would get the federation to protest because universities are extremely impersonal institutions.

these questions were designed to elicit conceptual and imaginative responses from the candidates; whether they rose to the challenge well-enough should be for the reader to decide. The chevron deliberately steered away from questions which would have allowed candidates to restate platform points already amply distributed around campus and-would suggest if readers wish a point-by-point account of candidates’ platforms, they should consult the several flyers and posters already issued by the candidates themselves. .

,WEISFELD: I don’t think size is a fundamental cause” of alienation and I wouldn’t oppose this. It would mostly show how the Waterloo-Lutheran administration is incompetent in building a second athletic complex. MOORE: The logical thing for Lutheran to do is to continue its affiliation with the church or else it’s going to fold. They are in a crisis now and are not going to exist much longer. I would resist anything that is going to increase the size of this place.

Question

relation

to the

,_ -

What does the term “union” federation of students?

mean

BLANEY: At the present moment, I don’t think it’s reaiiy true to apply that term to the federation because that is certainly not what it has been in the pa.st. If you wish to apply the term “union” to the federation then you must review it in the same light that you view a union in a factory. In this case, it’s the production staff of the factory that is joining together to better their conditions. ’ A union is a co-operative venture in which students wouXld band together and use their strength t.o try and improve their conditions both of education - and conditions of life on the campus. If the federation is going to be a political body in terms of educat-ional poiitics within the institution it is going to have to act more in a union-like manner. WEISFELD: The word -“union” seems to correspond to a syndicalist sentiment which carries the conditions of an independent student body. organizing around issues of interest to the students and using the power of their numbers to gain objectives. fVtOORE: To me, “union” means two things; one, representing the-interests of the students and two, an education program attempting to‘-explain some of the things happening on campus to people so council may have an interested student body to draw support from in any actions it takes in the students’ interest.

Question Four. The federation is dead. The- administration is running pubs, movies, concerts and dances. ,Physical resources is competing with the recreation department over how the university buildings will, be used...Finish the story. d BLANEY: If that came about I expect the administration would incorporate that (decision power) either in the area that was supposed to have been taken-over by a vice-president of student services, or with a university administrator perhaps;in charge.of non-academic services. I couldn’t see it being unresolved under either of these two. I imagine there would be some sort of token student involvement.

WEISFELD: Neither of those two alternatives seems to be in the interests of students. The only course that - wouid strengthen the bargaining position of students IS for reformed establishment of the federation on the basis in which .it would be acting continually to represent the students MObRE I think the bastards should just fyght it out amongst themseives. As far as I am concerned, if that happened federation members should get-together on a voiuntary basis to try and force an alliance of people on the ieft to become a much more politicallymotivated movement which then addresses itself to more basic issues on campus. That wouid be an ‘educational’ thing with the students because-they would then realize the benefits the federation now provides for them in subsidizing concerts. I Question

Comment

on post-secondary

-on the Wright commission education in Ontario.

BLANEY: I feei if education ,is going to be particularly reievant at the university level it shouldn? be con-fined to the four or five years after a person gets out of high schooi. Education has to become a lifetime process. This, of course, wiii entaii making arrangements for people’s ’ night courses, courses off-campus and into towns and changing requirements (high school marks are very often no* indication of a person’s ability to expand). The idea of a sabbatical fromwork is good. As to the report itself, I am very leary of it because I have a suspicion it will be the death of the ‘white papers’. The government will propose taking threequarters of the main points, leaving the rest to ianguish. When these (other) points are brought-up again, another report wiii be initiated to bring things up-to-date. The report shows a collection of words spoken around a vacuum and the concrete proposals do little more than to hide this vacuum. The infusion of a cross-section of people (into the university) would tend, to strengthen the student voice in university affairs; the administration would be deaiing with people they could not put-off with the empty excuses we.hear now. Such people will have to be dealt-with on real terms; the only danger is that the student body might be diffused in terms of the number of courses off and on campus. It would be difficult to unify them as a whoie though it would probably be to the benefit of students. WEISFELD: I think this report brings up the question of the student body and at the same time ignores a fundamental characteristic of students-that is, the peopie who go to university’are those from the middle and upper ciasses, with some few others. This is the probiem that has to be attacked and any structural changes in the university and any move to make it more fiexible are not goitig to accomplish that task. The whoie comcept of universal accessibility which * r

by Una O’Callaghan, Bruce Steele and Alex Smith, the chevron

was brought up by CUS (Canadian union of students’) some time ago is still valid; that should be fundamentai to any transformation of the university. It doesn’t make any difference what better op’ portunities you give to a certain restricted section of the population if the majority of the population doesn’t even have the opportunity to enter university in the first place because of financial reasons and iocai educational institutions. On the question of universal accessibility; the reason presented by the Wright report regarding tuition wiil only have a minor effect on the per- _ centages of class background. The basic factors determining the composition of the university begin far earlier and are, generally uniform by the time students get to university. In this way the composition of universities is tied directiy’to the composition of society and can only refiect society as it is. The soiution then, is for students in the university to use their institution in transforming that society.

Dave Blaney \

MOORE: I wili respond to the universal accessibility thing and how it would affect the student body. First of ali, the Wright commisssion report does address itself to the question of universal accessibility. One of the major things it has tried to come-togrips-with is that the university, in the recent past and aii through history, has been exclusively for the upper and middle class. One of the proposals is that those who make less than 7,500O dollars per year will pay no tuition at all. Those who make between 7,500 and 12,000 dollars will pay either the same or slightly more. Those making more than 12,000 dollars will have tuition almost doubled. I think the major concern for a student union is these cut-off points. I believe the people now in university would be used to exert some control over their environment and wouid not take the same kind of shit that people just out of high school do from university administrations.

Question Six. You are Burton Matthews. The federation referendum is immanent; there are two possible outcomes, both will mean hassles for you. Either the federation becomes stronger and you may be dealing with a more militant council or it is weaker and you are be-set with small societies and pressure groups all wanting control, power and recognition. Do you care? (Reply-as though you were Matthews). BLANEY: Yes, I would care because a weaker federation wouid mea-n that I would have to spend about 10,000 dollars to hire someone called a “student affairs officer” to ,fob the students off without my having to waste my time. WEISFELD: Yes, as Matthews I ?would hope the (compuisory fees) referendum is lost because sooner or iater the federation is going to become militant and if there’sa chance to set it back a couple of years that wouid be fine with .me.

Thursday night Waterloo was host to the York Yeomen’s basketball squad in the jock shop. As the game was an exhibition match, Coach McRae decided not to dress Laaniste and Dragon for the contest. He wanted to let some , of’ the less called on Warriors to get sornt’ Ivaluable time against the best that the O.U.A.A. has to offer. Hclfore the game the coach said he knew that the men he had dressed could do the job but he didn’t know if they would or not. Will. they showed him that they cbould as they came through with a 94-86 win. The game seemed to last for ever ;is the referees stopped the play for a total of 72 fouls, among them almost every infraction in the hook. They just didn’t want to let the boys play ball at all and called the plays extremely close. In the first half the Warriors had their hands full right from the start and had to fight hard to have a 2 Ijoint lead at the break, 41-39. Sclcond-half action showed the homch team ahead by from 5 to 8 points most of the way right to the end. It was not much of a game to swatch unless you like foul shooting. Those wooden seats were getting lsery hard by the time the game somehow reached a conclusion after a climactic 3 fouls in the last 15< seconds b The Warriors collected 40 of the r,11 fouls and the Yeomen caapitalized-for 36 points from the line. The home team was gifted with 30 points for their free throw at tempts, shooting 60 percent Lrhich was 5 higher than York’s percentage. From the court the Waterloo squad made a solid 44 percent of their shots. Rookie Phil Schlote showed good outside shooting and a cool head. lie along with Paul -Bilewicz who played his regular steady game - lead the Warrior scorers with 16 points. Bill Ross was the drive up the centre as he dropped in 11 points. High scorer for york was Pike c who accumulated 18 points.

They tried to stall for time by (bating the ball but they choked badly and with half a minute left the score was deadlocked 65-65. our crew came down the court cvith the intent to wait till there was only time-left for one shot before they did just that. There was only one shot alright bu_t it was taken by western after they stole the ball. The winning basket came with only 1 second remaining.

Warrior rookie Jim I,atimcr, certainly one of Lb t crloo’s outstanding new \\,rcstlers was pinned in a hard t’ought match by Bob Cazes, last years O.U.A.A. champion.

The warriors started off strong Lvinning all of their early matches except for two. First round losses \vcre suffered by Jim Shelly and ‘l’om Gutoski. In the second round iour warriors were eliminated from competition, Pat McKinty, Gutoski, Steve Abbott and Scott Marshall all met superior opponents who were to later place in the top three places in their weight divisions.

The only wrestlers left for Waterloo were two old veterans and Waterloo’s outstanding rookie Tim Wenzel. The veterans Pat Bolger and John Barry put on a display that the Guelph invitational is becoming famous for. Pat suffered a torn muscle in his back in the third round, so it looked for sure that he would be out for the night. Unable to bend at the waist and barely able to move at all, he finished the match winning by a decisive 6-O. Still whether Pat

Bolger in his next two matches showed why he deserves the title of Waterloo’s outstanding athlete. He defeated his opponents while not allowing a single point against himself.

Last year Hata defeated Barry 7-3, this year the only cbharige was in the final score 6-l for Hata. Tim Wenzel is a certain winner, of the O.U.A.A. as he defeated, with remarkable wrestling technique, all his opponents to post a first in the meet. This left Tim and Pat with a first and John with a second. This was enough to place Waterloo second overall with 27 points. Michigan was first with 42 points with Guelph placing third with 22 points. .

The Warriors won two and lost one over the weekend and with two team records falling and some 26 personal best performances being set, this years swim club looks like they could be giant killers at the 0 .U .A .A. championship8 less than a month away. On Friday afternoon the squad hosted McGill and Oswego State from oswego, new York. The Redmen downed the Warriors 68-45 and won all but one race, the 200 freestyle taken by Karl Brubaker in a record time of 1:53.8. The locals however took

first time 66-47 ; the they’ve down the american team in three meetings. Oswego could only manage to win two swimming and the diving events while the Warriors posted victories in eight events Co-captain George Roy set the other uniwat record, in the 1,000 yard freestyle going 11:23.0. He just out-touched teammate Rolfe McEwan by four-tenths of a second. McEwan was the .previous record holder. McEwan also set a good pace in the 500 freestyle going 5: 28.1, his fastest time ever over the distance. In Saturday’s home meet against Queen’s university the men quickly took command of the meet and went on to win 65-48. In all Warriors swimmers came first in nine of 13 events. The Warrriors depth and speed was shown in the 200 freestyle when Rolfe McEwan, Doug Lorriman and Bruce Henry finished one, two, three. Karl Brubaker and Dave Robinson came one-two in the 1000 while Brubaker and freestyle, Lorriman finished one-two in the 100 freestyle. Eric Robinson and Jim Low also came in first and second in the backstroke event. The- 2:16.3 was the fastest ever time for low. George Roy was again a double winner for the uniwat tankmen taking the 200 IM and 200 fly events, both in identical ‘2:14.6 times. On the boards Lester Newby, who is putting together a high degree of difficulty for thechampionships, won both the one and three metre events. Freshmen diver Ken Hill also scored his highest point total ever and is likely to do well in the OUAA’s. The Warriors next home meeting is this Friday against Eastern Michigan State who were one of the top finishers in the NCAA college nationals last year. The starters gun fires at 7 p.m. Oswego

all those people who have been doing naughty things to earn us this weather had better cut it out if we are to return to last fall’s spring temperatures, remember, the environment is in your hands, don’t blow it...well, well, presidential elections are upon us again and with it come the inevitable candtdates, this time around folks there are four to choose from-eenie, meenie, minie, moe is there a difference? If you don’t think.,so maybe you should talk to the guys...we did...eenie, meenie, minie, moe.......sunday nights always seem like such a drab evening down here, is there no one out there who wants to get into what’s happening down here, or get down here so something will happen?...by the look of things, the university’s biggest expense is replacing those parking lot arms which keep descending then disappearing, nice little mementos aren’t they; no study room should be without one...for those of us who remember, this is a school term and the midterms have almost descended, time to start going to classes, huh, kids?...have you. tried toget a library book this term? there aren’t any there, you know...they’ve all been signed out until September 1984. from our “coming up next week dept.” comes the following advanced notice. if you want to read the reaction to the biggest mrsrnterpretation since trudeau was called leftist, take a gander at the feedback in this friday’s paper. it IS truly incredulous how a back page which was originally intended to support women in their struggle against oppression, was seen as oppressive to women. we were even called chauvrnist pigs. wow. hanging around the news dart board this week were dudky Paul, boris ~ procruk, una o’callaghan, brute murphy, randy hannigan. those in the ‘those who weren’t dept.’ were joan Walters for eternity running, and even at times alex and george. who ever said that man runs machines? the typesetting computer at dumont press had an orgasm and spewed out copy on different pica widths, and missing the occassional letters. not even sure at this point if this is going to appear. this week we had nine people disguised as photographers and carriers of cameras...steve lzma did his job down at the printers this weekend, Scott gray (who moonlights as a flippant disc jockey) showed up at 12: 55 to display his bon homme flag, helmut zisser (who really knows what’s going on-especially in the photo cabinet), randy with his million sports pits, bob siemon who is just getting into the chevron photo scene, sergio zavarella and his elusive shadow, brian cere with the quietest camera in the office, gord moore and his darkroom procedures, and len greener who is shooting his epic journey to Thunder Bay and the shores of Lake Superior. sports staff this weekend was mostly missing, but a skeleton remained to bring you what we have...those here were, george neeland, wheels (and skrinn in spirit), smitty had a law (?) exam but was present, if only in copy, randy hannigan helped, dennis mcgann got pissed off but that’s sports... in entertainment this week were an assortment of passing people; cub was the first to pass, doing so, so quickly, that most drdn’t see him, just like george an’ alex, others who dallied were, mary holmes, tony defranco, and a pleasant visit from dizzy Iizzy; dave inham, john carter, and of course the ever happy but hardly ever smiling janet ‘jumper’ stooody. this is the last tuesday paper for a few wee+, so now we have a rest, and the seven who are going to la petite last night are surely going to need it. so will la petite. as-we finish this Issue we must say a parting hello to our illustrious friends at dumont who will have to struggle with machine to print this farce. more anon. peace and Iuv kiddies ws.
