Disgruntled with the plans for their new building, some architecture students are organizing to fight the acceptance of the plans by the Environmental Studies Building Committee. The building is actually an addition to the Isiah Bowman Social Sciences building, which is scheduled for about 1974. A hastily organized meeting for monday afternoon brought out over fifity students. Organizers presented copies of the plans, a brief history of the building committee, and outlined some of the failings of the buildings as well as the process that was used to research and design the extension. The problems with plans were three-fold : there was insufficient space to meet the needs of the ,architecture students, the space which did exist was in the wrong place and was used improperly, and they objected to the methods which were used to research the needs of the building’s users.

Smith dismissed -

Alex Smith, technical advisor to the chevron, was fired by the staff at a regular staff meeting tuesday evening. Smith, a former editor of the chevron, was criticized for a lack of time spent working on the paper and lack of involvement with the rest of the staff. The vote to remove Smith as a chevron employee was 12 for, one against and one abstention.

building

Brian Brisbin, who did the analysis of the project, stated when space is alotted for a drafting table, chair, equipment, presentation space and other miscellaneous areas, that the student needs at least 52 square feet. This was simply not provided for in the plans. There was no debate as to why each student needed his own desk. The building extends out the end of the social sciences building closest to the ring road and bends towards the new psychology building. This effectively forms a courtyard within the social sciences, humanities, psychology, and social sciences extension buildings. The height of the building descends in tiered levels from about the height of the social sciences building to only one story near the psychology building so as to permit the view from the humanities building of scenic laurel creek. The students wondered if it would be possible to use the levels of roofs for classes and. presentation areas during the warmer seasons. This is evidently not permitted. The architects for the building gave a presentation of their plans to the architecture school earlier in february. It was at this time that the students were able to scrutinize the building, discover the liabilities, as well as restrictions, such as for the roofs. The students also complained that the main entrance to the extension would be the main entrance of the social sciences building and that this would necessitate walking through the other building. To further compound the situation there would be a concourse from the new psychology building which in inclemant times would flush hoards of psych students throught the corridors of the overcrowded extension. Internally there were more problems. It appears as if the architects put the classrooms on

About fifty students attended a hurried meeting, to discuss the problems arising from to the social sciences building. Many mistakes in design were supposedly made; stud&i& apathetic inability to participate than to hassles with the administration.

the new extension more due to the

the outside walls ‘and kept the architecture student’s studio areas completely on the interior. This would necessitate artificial neon lighting. Natural sun light would be preferable. The building where the students are presently located is a warehouse and is artificially lit. The students do not find it satisfactory. After the critique of the building, Bob Welch, - another organizer, outlined some of the history of the building committee. It started meeting in September last year. From the start the committee was operating under financial and space alotment restrictions set down by the university administrations. Welch felt that the committee should not have accepted these restrictions.

stantly asked for submissions as to needs and other thoughts but none were ever received. Now when a final decision must be made on the plans, everyone is getting alarmed. At a meeting of the committee tuesday, february 8, fifty architecture students attended the meeting to make their presentations. It was at this meeting that the final decision was to be made. Complaints and insinuations flew. As a result the decision was deferred. Rich, then chairman, resigned, feeling that criticisms were being leveled at the manner in which he had conducted the committee.

Because of the many complaints the decision on the building was sent to a higher body, the executive council of the division. At a meeting of the executive council monday morning, the building was discussed but no decision was reached. There is another meeting this coming monday at 11:00 am. Architecture students appear to be the only ones complaining of the building. Geography, manenvironment, and planning appear to have had adequate representation and are happy with their alotments in the new buildings, or at least are not as fussy with what they have received.

It appears the building committee did not have much choice either way. .The amounts alotted were a total of 27,000 square feet of useable space and a total of 45,000 gross space. The committee could not exceed 27 dollars per square foot, although they could have spent less. Although the building committee had full student and faculty representation, it appears as if this did little goo,d. Representatives neglected to let the people they were responsible to, in on what was happening. As a result many students had not heard of the building. This seems to particularly be the case in architecture. According to prof George Rich ex-chairman of the building committee, the architecture department was con-

groups to discuss the Wright commisssion report and the university of Waterloo act. The letter suggests a committee comprised of three representatives each from the federation and the senate, which could recommend procedures for the discussion day. It also suggests that a committee of equal representation from faculty, administration and students be established to review the suggestions and recommendations resulting -from the first committee. Moore told the chevron that support for the moratorium is “highly favourable” from members of all three groups.

The federation has asked the university senate to declare a day’s moratorium on classes during march in order that the entire university constituency may discuss issues which will determine the dire&ion of the university in the near future. In a letter signed by federation president Rick Page and president-elect Terry Moore, the senate is urged to call off classes “for at least one day” to enable students, faculty and administration to get together in

The main item on the agenda, of course, was the report from the salary steering committee. The faculty committee put forth a proposal for a six percent increase-the 2.4 percent increase by July 1 followed by another 3.6 increase if the university reaches its projected income. Administration reps Cornell, Fischer and Gellatly said they could not accept that figure, and repeated the 2.4 figure, which is the consumer price/ index change for this year. President Burt Matthews reportedly agrees with the 2.4 increase, but not the retroactive condition. The faculty then voted, with just one dissention, to accept the ad-ministration’s figure.

A small and dispirited band of faculty members battered their collective head against the administration wall for four hours Wednesday before meekly accepting the administration’s offer of a 2.4 percent pay increase for next year.

Geneticist Dave Suzuki came to Waterloo this week. He survived four Hagey lectures, a campus centre bear-pit and outings with the faculty. He retained his humour through-out and his voice too, more or less. - Now he is again on his way over the countryside spreading his information as he goes. Here and there some may actually listen to what he says and not just smile and applaud at his antics on stage and pass over his message as the ramblings of a rebel. Suzuki is science with a conscience. He is considered heretical by many of his peers for being publically outspoken and pleading for open paths of -information between scientist and layman. His lectures and television programs are aimed at informing people of the field he is expert in. He maintains that other experts should be open in their fields also. Suzuki is especially fearful of secret military research, a fear cornpounded by the fact that they are researching now in his area, only with application to human mutations in mind rather than to fruit flies. In order that science may work for mankind, mankind must be aware of its progress. Knowledge kept secret is potentially more dangerous I than common knowledge. Knowledge ‘becomes common when individuals ban together to demand it. Suzuki says he has no political influence but a mass of people has. He is a leader in manner of speaking but his followers are sparse because he provides only an example. He does not wave a torch before a crowd, --_ ‘he carries a candle trying to light a way.

‘L

“Everybody wants a guru-I’m not a guru, goddamn it! ” Self-effacing David Suzuki, the administration’s paid outside agitator, snapped at a questioner during tuesday’s so-called “bear pit” session in the packed great hall of the campus center. Dr. -David Suziki, half acclaimed scientist and half hip showman; the man nearly everyone on campus calls “David” instead of “Dr. Suzuki” as with *most visiting lecturers; the university’s bellbottomed-and-army-jacketed gift to the student body. Suzuki, who refers to himself as a r‘freak” and something of a, radical in the scientific field, brought only a tired message to students on this campus-that the university is a “dying institution” and that everyone should “get their heads together.” Suzuki is a classic case in “past shock.” This syndrome differs from “future shock” in that it affects older people. Suzuki, began realizing three years ago what students were realizing six or seven years ago. He has listened to the students; thoughts, ~caught on to their rhetoric, and brought it back to them for -a fee paid by the administration and faculty. ‘I He failed to shock or surprise any students during his threeday visit here with such revelations as: (B -the university is a “dying institution” run by big business and self-perpetuating mediocre fadulty. -drugs should be a “personal decision”, and kids “are carrying on a massive street experiment for the government” by using them. -science has become “big business” and shrouded itself in secrecy. -90 percent of the kids in university “have no business being there.” -the university is “a very violent place” with competition for grades and jobs. -“human life is the cheapest commodity going today.” To anyone who has lived through the last 15 years with two eyes connected to a brain, these are not exactly heart-stoppers. g David Suzuki is the kind of man who, three to five years ago, would have caused a big s& on this

campus, both among the people who run it and among the students. And that would have changed them both for the good. But this week, he was only a reflection of the students to whom he spoke, in -too many cases a reflection from the past. Even Suzuki’s so-called scientific radicalism palled under-close examination. He has no *qualms about what he calls “basic research”, no matter who is footing the bill. “The main thing is secrecy,” he told students. “As long as research is secret, its dangerous. When the results can be published, I can’t see any danger. People have to know what is going on.” But Suzuki also holds a self-admitted “elitist” view of the pursuit of scientific knowledge-that those who quest after it have full license to do it. He says that none of the research he has ever done has been classified-hence, -“safe”, under his definition. But, asked if he would stop his research if a majority of the people were against further study in his area, he replied he would not. . SOi in what ways do non-secrecy mean safety? What means are available to citizens to stop research? Suzuki did not say. Suzuki was led around campus to the usual round of Hagey duties-press .meetings, lectures, meetings with faculty and students, faculty club stopovers. He delivered his “radical” message, spiced with his famous four-letter words, to a doting and adoring capacity crowd in the humanities- theatre; including the suited and coifured aging mainstays of the “university community” seated in their reserved, row. _* Suzuki commented at one press conference that * he felt he was pulling one over on the administrations of universities by being paid to come lecture and then being “radical.” Maybe he didn’t stop to consider that, in these ’ days of institutionalized radicalism and easy cooption, that he was the one being used by the university...this year’s token established and tenured radical. -george

Lack of quorum I by kenn hyslop the chevron

‘.

Due to another lack of quorum last thursday’s federation council meeting was transformed into an executive board session by a greatly frustrated and disgusted! Rick Page. This was the last meeting of the present council in regular session. On march 2 Page and his student administration transfer power to Terry Moore and the yet to be elected new representatives at the annual general meeting. The last meeting dealt first with an application from the Constitution Insurance Company of Canada. Their representative desired access to the university mailing list in order to offer a supposedly low cost car insurance to all lucky students. The request was denied on a motion by Davidson and Webster. Next on the agenda was request by Eva Kelemen, promotion manager for Great Books of the Western World, for the federation to conduct a free draw for fiftyfour of the. books, valued at six hundred dollars. She mentioned that the arts library had already agreed to supply space for ad-

frustrates

vertisement. When pressed by council as to what the book company was to receive in return for this handsome offer, she stated that the entry forms with names, addresses, and telephone numbers on them became the property of the company and those who did not win would be contacted later by salespeople. The proposal was refused on a motion by Webster, Davidson. It is illuminating and gratifying that council by policy, does no+ give out mailing lists and hasn’t for at least three years. Last onthe agenda was an issue pertaining to the fee study committee’s decision regarding the Student Athletic Board. The situation now is as follows. The Athletic Board is run by nonstudents ; particularly non-cooperative non-students it seems. The money handled by the board is ninety per cent student’s money, gathered at registration by way of the compulsory athletic fee as listed on the fee statement form. The fee study committee advised that this fee should be called to referendum. On a Pagepebster motion a counter-proposal was drafted with

council the intention of keeping such student money under the control of students. It is suggested that instead of a referndum -the Athletic Advisory Board be comprised of students only. -the Athletic Advisory Board be advisory to the Student’s council of the Federation of Students. -the director of athletics and various other involved nonstudents be given advisory positions (not voting) ,-that the draft of powers, constitution as a board (a by-law) and financing be issued immediately as a student ultimatum to the fee study study committee. This decision would in actuality create a student-powered decision making board. So it goes. The meeting was adjourned after this motion and the hope was expressed that a quorum would be present at ’ the annual / general meeting. It would be extremely embarassing for the present council if power were to be @ansferred at another non-meeting because quorum was not met. Good luck to the new council, assuming they’re not extinct before they can grasp that ephemeral power.

The following positions are still available for nomination: president vice-president regular math : three 2nd year reps three 3rd year reps two 4th year reps co-op math: two 2a reps (voted for by lb) one 3b rep (voted for by 3a) Mathsoc is sponsoring a pub on today at 8:30 p.m. in food services, with the band eleanor fox. The cost is 25 cents for mathsoc members,

one dollar for federation members, and one dollar and fifty cents for others. . There will be a meeting for people interested in helping with orientation february 23, at 7 p.m. in the mathsoc office. One of the most improtant committes affecting arts students is the udergraduate affairs group (UGAG). This committee is composed of undergraduate officers or representatives from each arts department and three voting student reps. -UGAG is chaired by Bob Needham, associate dean of arts, and its recommendations are usually accepted by the arts faculty council. Three important issues that are now pending are incompletes, unit fees and group A and B requirements. “Any student registering in September would have INCs on his record count as courses being taken in determining the total allowable course- load.” In effect, this means that if you are allowed to take five courses maximum and have three INCs, you will only be allowed to take two courses. In some cases you will not be allowed to register. “. . .consider the implementation of a unit fee assessment system.”

load

A standard fee of say 190 dollars per course- would be charged. If you take a partial load of four courses, the tuition will be 400 dollars but if you’re in honours and take six courses, the tuition will be 600 dollars. “In the course of completing all requirements for the degree at least three full courses with Canadian content shall be completed.” This will be added to the end of the group A and B requirements, if adopted. The whole area of group A and B requirements is now under consideration and briefs will be presented by the arts society if sufficient interest is shown by arts students. The library committee will set a permanent library policy in five weeks. We have two voting arts student reps. Comments on the experimental system or alternatives are invited. Your reps on these university committees can only present a representative view of arts students’ opinion if these opinions are made known. The arts society will be sponsoring their own “mini referendum”. They intend to submit a questionnaire to all arts students asking for their opinions on the current library policies.

Mock urban quizzlers tilt /

“In light of the short time this project has evolved in and the lack of time for citizens to investigate it, there is an indication of no proper planning. On this basis the board dismisses the application of the city of Waterloo for bylaw changes to permit this high density development.” Thus was the decision of J.A. Kennedy, OMB chairman at the final session of the High Rise Game sunday. Bill Archer, Toronto city alderman, acted as council for Waterloo and presented arguments on behalf of city council for approval of the city bylaw change. These basic reasons were stated at the previous day’s council committee meeting. Architecture prof, Don McIntyre then gave an abbreviated version of a visual presentation he gave the day before. This included slides of what the area looks like today and plans of the proposed project. Len Gertler, school of planning director, played the part of the assistant planning director just returned from a Las Vegas holiday. He presented favorable planning arguments for the acceptance of the application with the provision that five points be included. Increased parking space, park land and services be provided by the developers and the city allow for the increased school attendence and hold building permits unt‘il the developer provide more detailed plans. Dave Freeman, chairman of the Confederation of Resident and Ratepayers association produced arguments on behalf of the St. George and Dragon

society of the Urban ‘Quizzling association in the simulation. He argued that there was no district plan of the area in question. The city official plan, called for such procedure before a high density project could be approved. He further noted that in allowing double the density permitted by the bylaw the official plan would have to be amended.

The developer supported the arguments of the city with the exception that the city provide park space and that parking was adequate considering the proximity of the project to public transportation and the decline of large cars. Kennedy and his two associates conferred for a few minutes before handing down their decision. Hans Blumenfeld, international planning consultant, summed up the conference and noted the major areas considered. He praised the work of the organizers and the participants in the realism achieved in the simulation. Dave Freeman noted that while this was but a game the educational value was excellent. He expressed the idea that this form of citizen participation would have to be considered more and more by planners. An increase in the number of people out of work might lead them to get involved in the mechanics of decision making. The simulation exercise was an effective use of guerilla theater to bring across the realities of a situation without actually having to experience the ‘real’ thing. This sort of theater has been used for some years by radical and ecology groups to try to

into a realization

of what

was

The successful introduction of this teaching technique onto this campus has very interesting possibilities. If one stops to consider how much is learned within the context of the classroom compared to what was not only covered but also remembered and enjoyed during this weekend, one must surely question why we continue with so much emphasis on the classroom and are not teaching more progressively. Beyond being a humourous success, the planning students annual conference was an interesting educational experience. The conference, which took place on Saturday and sunday in AL 116, featured a simulation of the process through which a development proposal for a high rise building would pass. The four steps in the procedure were the proposal stage where the idea was unveiled; the technical planning committee where the idea was considered by the simulated professional staff of the city of Waterloo; the committee of council in which presentations from citizens were heard and the idea was considered by the mayor and council members; and finally after the idea had been 1 successfully passed through all these stages, the citizens appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board to have the scheme overruled. Such was the setting in which the fourth year planning students with the help of the fourth year

architecture class, tried to illustrate how little participation on the part of citizens there is in the development processes at city hall. ’ The result was more than just illustrative or educationaLAs the invited guests and faculty, all of whom have had some experience with the jungle of city hall, acted’out their parts the protrayal proved to be realistic and humourous. In fact as the acting became more and more accurate, the utterly ridiculous nature of our municipal system and participatory democracy’ became laughingly apparent and the audience, at times was in stitches. Further evidence to this point is the conference kept up a steady attendance of between 150 and 200 students, faculty and even some Waterloo citizens. Although the development was a simulation, it was based on a real area in Waterloo on George street. Citizens of the area got word of the game and became so concerned at the idea of development that they formed a citizen’s group to keep an eye on the conference and any possible repercussions. One of the student organizers of the conference, who happened to be at Waterloo city hall at the end of the week, caught word that there was an actual developer interested in the area. Professor Irving, a resident of the area and a participant in the symposium, invited all the citizens to his house thursday night to explain what was going on and to invite the real citizenry up to the university. Most declined as they felt uncomfortable about coming to the hallowed halls. -stories by al lukachko by bill Sheldon.

ALTA (CUP) RED DEER, Students and faculty at Red Deer college have overwhelmingly voted non-confidence in the school’s administration. In a referendum sponsored by the student association nearly 90’ per cent of the faculty and 75 per cent of the students voting expressed non-confidence in the community college’s adheaded by Dr. ministration, Mervyn Eastman. About 57 per cent of the students said they would not return to the college next year if the present administration remains. The college ha; a full-time enrolment of 600, with another 600 part-time students. ,

The administration precipitated the vote by firing several faculty members and refusing to finalize a list of the courses to be offered next year. + The student association has called for a full, independent inquiry into the policies and procedures of the Red Deer administration and has demanded the suspension of the president and f vice-president until such an investigation is completed. Dr. Henry Kolezar, chairman of the Alberta Colleges Commission, was in Red Deer holding talks with ” and faculty the student associations and with the administration.

EDMONTON (CUP)-Staff members of the university of Alberta’s student newspaper, the Gateway, went on strike monday night after the U of A student council rejected the paper’s choice for editor and appointed a non-staff member. In a break with a 15-year tradition of ratifying the paper’s choice of editor, council bypassed the candidate elected by the Gateway staff and appointed Terri Jackson, who received none of the 43 votes cast by Gateway staffers and has no university newspaper experience. Jackson told those at the - x editorial screening session that present Gateway staff members would not be welcome to work on the paper under her editorship. After the council decision to choose Jackson over Ron Yakimchuk, the paper’s choice for the position, Gateway staffers

The rejection of Yakimchuk by council comes after a story thursday’s published in last Gateway alleging misuse of student union facilities by two members of the present council executive who are seeking reelection today. The council move is the latest in a series of hassles between the student council and the paper.

The council eventually backed down from this demand. but its relations with the paper have continued’ to be strained.

TORONTO (CUP)-As the proponents of women’s liberation have been pointing out for years, the sexual exploitation of women in the field of retail marketing has become a real and viable foundation for a profitable business venture. Sex sells, and entrepreneurs are using the bare breast as a bountiful boost to the sound of the cash register. In the era of the supposed has counter-culture, sexism become so blatant that women have become merely impersonal posters in a fast-sell society. The latest example of sexploitation in the market place can be seen at the Hip Pocket Boutique on._Toronto’s Younge Street strip, where a week ago the press was’ invited to meet three sales clerks

“Greatest Hits” albums usually pose some problems for an honest reviewer, and your own particular honest reviewer must confess several niggling apprehensions in dealing with Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Volume II (Columbia KG 31120). First of all, there is the problem of how many of these tracks you may already possess. The two records contain 21 cuts, 6 of whichhave not previously been released on an LP. They are: “Tomorrow is a Long Time,” a gorgeous 1963 performance; “Watching the River Flow” and “When I Paint My Masterpiece,” pleasant but not especially noteworthy collaborations with Leon Russell; and three 1971- duets with Happy Traum, “I Shall be Released,” “Yoti Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere,” and “Down in the Flood,” where Dylan exhibits the same artistic selfassurance which made his contribution to the Bangladesh concert so memoram. Then there is the problem of “Why this song and not that one?,” given the existence of several “different” Bob Dylans, each with numerous partisans and detractors. Personally, for example, I would have included “Down Along the Cove” (rather than “All Along the Watchtower”) from John Wesley Harding, and the title song (rather than “If Not For You”) from New Morning; and I can only suggest that you take a careful look at what’s here and what isn’t. Assuming, however, that there are people who managed to get through the sixties without acquiring any Dylan albums, these two records contain several definitive statements about ‘life in our time’ : “Memphis Blues Again, ” “A Hard rain’s A-Gonna Fall, ” “All I Really Want To Do” .. . . all masterpieces, all capturing the most profound poetic sensibility in contemporary music, and all meriting inclusion in any serious record collection. Don’t think twice, it’s all right. Carole King’s Tapestry album was so incredibly fine that any sequel would almost have to be inferior; but Carole King Music (Ode 77013) is still an excellent piece of work, indicating that she may be to the seventies what old B.D. was to the preceeding decade. Thoughtful arrangements and vocal-instrumental delightful interplay also characterize this record, with somewhat weaker lyrics the main difference between it and Tapestry. A few of the songs are surprisingly undistinguished, and deserve the appellation of “filler” : “Back to California” and “Carry Your Load” might be triumphs for a lesser artist, but they’re not up to Carole’s previous high standards. More typical, however, is the incisive brilliance of “Surely, ” “Growing Away from Me,” and “Song of Long Ago,” the last song containing a stanza which strikes me as ‘essence of Carole King’ : Cry, cry for someone Who just can’t be happy And be glad you can feel enough to cry In lesser hands these verses might seem thoroughly banal, but it is Carole’s particular genius for:

transcending and illuminating the obvious which convinces us that she is sincere rather than cynical or ‘cute’. Despite some deficiencies in consistency, then, Carole King Music is another monster album from an immensely talented woman, who deserves to be described in terms of her own lyrics for “Brighter: ” “And I can’t think of anyone else can make me feel as good as you.” Just so. At a somewhat higher level of overt freneticism, Boz Scaggs & Band (Columbia C 30796) presents a varied program of big-band rock and blues which also benefits from excellent arrangements and generally strong supporting musicianship. Scaggs’ vocals, in fact, are the weakest aspect of this release; his rather thin and not terribly expressive voice is adequate enough on the livelier numbers, but draws attention to his failings when required to handle a slow ballad. Fortunately, however, his back-up men really cook, with the result that this record is just about on a par with the achievements of such peers as the Paul Butterfield Band. Highlights include “Flames of Love”, a torrid Latin flag-waver with powerhouse work by the horns, and “Why Why,” a nifty little chunk of electric funk. “Nothing Will Take Your Place” is a very pretty love song, brought down just a bit by Scaggs’ somewhat emaciated crooning. Among the numerous, and uniformly excellent, supporting musicians, drummer George Rains and Keyboard man Jymm Joachim Young deserve special mention for goosing everyone along ; size never overwhelms rhythm, and if this is a “working” (as opposed to “recording”) group, they should be tremendous in concert. It’s a good album, standing well out among the plethora of big-band efforts. “Fifth Beatle” Billy Preston has also been attractively showcased on I Wrote a Simple Song (A & M SP 3507), which is reminiscentof Merry’ Clayton’s recent album in its use of “soul music” roots as a base from which to atttempt several other performance styles, with generally successful results. with exceptional Working arrangements by Quincy Jones, and with “George H.” (three guesses) on lead guitar, Billy is equally successful with Ray Charles-influenced standards (“Without a Song”) and straight ahead funky-butt numbers (“The Bus”). The most amazing track is a soulful version of “My Country which comes off ‘Tis of Thee,” very well: the lines “Land where my father died, Land of the pilgrim’s Pride” really hit home when sung be a Black American. After several years as everybody’s favorite sideman, this album should launch Billy Preston on a career “in his own write”. He has a distinctive, mellow voice, plays mean tunes on the organ, and is a better than average composer. Now if he could only get Paul M., John L., and Ringo S. on his next gig.... -

-institutions oblivious

Still, all around us, the processes and institutions continue along their merry way, oblivious to our presence; in fact we find ourselves incorporated, talked about in media, labelled a culture, given special incentives, welfare, a summer job program. The state knows who and where we are, knows what and how we do, if not why. It is sophisticated enough to at least neutralize our impact by subtle processes of integration and manipulation, and not a few are incorporated wholly. To move from where we now stand requires a new step and one which will strike most as unpleasant. It is time to return to ‘the world of thought, to the written word, not to immerse ourselves in more of what we ran from but to ingest and utilize that which is useable.

wished. You find yourself transported outside yourself and your society, not for the purpose of breathing the heady atmosphere of pure abstraction -but always, unerringly, to perch above yourself, to examine and experience, and eventually to change. Yet Sartre is no ogre ; he carries you nowhere that you do not consent to go-in fact the benefit derived is almost always a function of the reader’s willingness to go deep, to tear himself away from the secure and the reassuring. Pulling you close to madness, to oppression and slavery wherever they live, his purpose is not to abandon you at the brink-after all, he exists there too and well recognizes that we must make our way back together. Along the way he continuously points to the freedom which inheres in all of us to face rather than dodge, to assume rather than hide from, to change rather than be passive and sheepish. No spendthrift either he carves out regions for us to know and to use along with a language, new and at times forbidding, always apt and useable once understood; all of this to and enable us to seize the - encourage freedom we are, to wield it, to take charge. To begin this journey requires both courage and a pressing need; those who will gain most are the ones sensitive enough to recognize that they have been clobbered by our society, the men and women left wounded and bleeding by the machine processes which order our culture. For those who find no echo of their feelings and aspirations in demeaning jobs, in the flaccid logic of the university lecture, or in the shadows of seemingly endless highrises and skyscrapers, Sartre is a beginning purgatory. All of which longwindedly brings me to my final plug. Much of Sartre’s work, particularly that for which he is most famous, presents itself as inaccessible at first glance-largely due to the type of language’ engaged in Being and Nothingness, a good deal of which remains with him throughout his life. To break

right direction To his credit Joseph McMahon’s text on Sartre is a step in the right direction. Sensitive to his own literary overspecializa tion, he annexes other specialties enough to do some justice to Sartre. Through this integration he leads us gently to the centre of the Sartrean realm via the most potent access, his autobiography. In the following account of Sartre’s philosophy the plays and novels are not presented as interesting diversions, but form the working out and presentation in another medium of the philosophical insights. Sartre never treats his nostrums as self warranting truths-recognizing that readers exist to be convinced he makes his case by complex example, throug-h the device of theatrical and novelistic scenarios which allow for proof in the immediacy and tension of believable human situations. In drawing out and utilizing this aspect of Sartre’s work, McMahon’s scholarship is excellent-he cleverly draws us close to Sartre and allows the man himself to make his own case. If McMahons work brings together the many aspects of Sartre into a wholealways presenting his insights within some enticing metaphorical and literary creations of his own-he also makes an attempt to read Sartre forward and backward through time. This at least gives a hint of coherence to the work, avoiding the stodgy chronological presentations we get from Maurice Cranston or Philip Thody. McMahon is also worthy existentially, in that he doesn’t come off as a scribe or hagiographer ; he despairs of Sartre enough to take swipes and point out gaping holes in what can be a tortuous logic-all of which is requisite in a useful text. The book fails however if looked to as a definitive text; McMahon has neither enough philosophy behind him to‘ pronounce a ‘last word’ (which happily he doesn’t really attempt,) nor enough of an understanding of politics and sociology to make his commentary on political situations more than adequate. Again he saves himself by not overextending his claims too much.

complex relation Particularly poor is his handling of Sartre’s complex relationship to Marxism, not so much in its practical development j outside the. CP in France, but in its theoretical elaboration as a radical methodology. McMahon has obviously read(or understood?) little of Marx. His comments on Sartre’s work on groups are , vague or misleading in regard to the Critique and he never approaches being capable of judging their accuracy with regard to group formation, authority relations, spontaneity, terror and host of other quite essential questions. Relative to the chapters on Sartrean theatre, which sparkle at times, the piece on Marxism is dull, uninspired and ad hoc; anyone looking for advance insight into the Critiquetwhich is not translated)would do well to look elsewhere. Yet the book retains its value placed with a certain context. Without dampening the force and passion of Sartre’s own work, _ his intense commitment to freedom and truth, McMahon .precis’s creatively ; cutting discretely and sparingly, the result is a book which could potentially ease a great many people into the originals. And, as I said earlier, I think that it is one of the places we have to’go. I

Rod Stewart seems to be almost surviving the hype which, surrounds him these days. He is also, it seems, surviving . and flourishing in his wanderings in and out of am radio. When Stewart was with Jeff Beck and later with The Small Faces and on his’ own albums, few listened. Then came Maggie May and the young hearts fairly curdled with pain. Now it’s Rod Stewart and The Small Faces withthe latter supposedly along for instrumental supper t : Rod Stewart the pop star; Rod Stewart, a top performer of last year as voted by Rolling Stone and top vocalist as voted by playboy readers (they also selected Elton John on piano and Ian Anderson on flute over lesser lights such as Brubeck or Roland Kirk). Rod Stewart should have succumbed long ago to this treatment but he hasn’t. Part of the reason must be talent and foresight. Stewart has known better than to try to make it solely on his own. And so comes ‘A Nod is as good..... the third Small Faces’ album with Stewart as vocalist and surprise! it’s not what you ex( petted. Although Rod Stewart only sings, and writes less than half the material, the album was still billed in Sam’s and A&A as Rod Stewart starring the Small Faces. I guess it depends on where you shop. Other places may have listed it under Rod Stewart and friends. But

neither. It is simply Rod Stewart and The Small Faces or The Small Faces and Rod Stewart if you want to . haggle. Whereas in previous albums Ronny Lane was rarely evident except for some guitar -work and the occasional vocal, on this album he sings three songs and Stewart is set aside for awhile. This will probably hinder sales of the album I’m afraid. This and the fact that the music is a little too much for a fourteen year old’s foot. You can’t whistle the whole album and sometimes the words aren’t forlorn -and soapy : My mom she likes you, she thinks you’re swell Got the makings of a dance hall girl. ’ -Your low cut bra and your bird’s nest hair, But Stewart and ‘Small Faces’ fans take heart.

Larry Coryell has been around awhile, stints with Gary Burton. and Herbie Mann, then on his own. On mann’s albums he was heard filling in the spaces, giving off short bursts -of notes then retiring to the background to fill in and weave in and around Mann’s flute and rhythm section. With Burton it was much the same thing-weave, burst, fill in dance and sting. In january of last year Coryell arrived at The Village Gate with his wife Julie, Marvin Bronson on bass and Harry Wilkinson ondrums. Jazz vocalists are rare. The music has survived and excelled for so long without them that a jazz vocalist seems like an act with two bass players. Listeners are often confused, unsure of. the whole thing. So I had mixed feelings, when I picked up this ‘album. Roberta Flack is a great jazz singer, Yusef Lateef gets away with it- occasionally - but others don’t, Charles Lloyd among them. There are only five cuts on “Live at The Village Gate”, three by Coryell, one by Chick Corea and one by Jack Bruce. Two of these are vocals, both written by Coryell. On Beyond These Chilling Winds both Coryell and his wife sing. The other vocal is Coryell by himself. Both songs come off very well. The harmony in ‘Beyond These Chilling Winds’ and be-bops chorus make it a light piece but Goryell’s guitar ,work dazzles. He does more than weave and burst, dance and sting here. I have never felt much affinity for the guitar as a jazz instrument, preferring the trumpet or piano, but Coryell for the‘ first time made me sit up and take more than just notice-interestsomething was actually going on besides a beat. Wilkinson and Bronson are more than a@!uate side-men with Wilkinson shown to better advantage here. But Coryell is the real attraction, what the audience came for. He and Johm McLaughlin are the top jazz guitarists doing anything new these days. A star arises.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Player’s Guild at WLU has been presenting a series of free playes entitled Plays for the People. Although I am not certain how significant the title is (People’s Theatre refers to a special kind of drama aimed at those not dramainclined) at least two of the five Shakespearean shorts presented last week turned out to be very entertaining and managed to convey a joy in dramatic production. The five scenes (and one act) were from five different plays. First,act V scenellof A Midnight Summer’s Dream, a comic scene containing the Pyremus/Thisbe play-within-a-play. Pyramus (“Oh, dainty duck! Oh, dear! “) meets Thisbe (“My cherry lips”) at a wall which separates their two households to arrange a meeting for later in the evening at “ninny’s tomb”. The wall, an actual character in the play, is free to leave the stage. Thisbe arrives at the) tomb first. She is met by a lion and a moon both of which have lines just as did the wall. The lion attacks Thisbe and strips her of her cloak but she manages to excape with her life. Pyramus arrives; finds Thisbe’s cloak with some blood on it and kills himself (“Out, sword, and wound...where heart doth hop”) for sorrow. Thisbe finds Pyramus and she too commits suicide. Pyramus and Thisbe (Doug Heamen and Nancy Schmidt) played their parts with an elfin gravity well suited to the scene. And the wall (Veronica Blythe)

Elizabethan Elizabethan Revels, a program of song, dance and poetry from olde Englande, was entertaining (and even a little inspiring). No kidding. Some of the acting was quite good though tending to be strained, hesitant. For example, Saskia Tuyn as the adored female seemed to receive her lover’s attention sometimes without any interest at all and at other times with the proper, accomplished shyness. And Pat Young as Sir Walter Raleigh too willingly allowed himself to be prevented from performing. His minister, however, was done rather well. Without too much exaggeration the sermon against mayday celebrations was still made to seem funny. Generally dancers and musicians did not seem to enjoy

was very wall-like in her deadpan monotone speeches, a contrast to the excitable lion (Roger Horst) and the pathetic moon (George Olds) who were done as well. Commentators helped keep the little play the quaint piece of silliness it was. The second short was from Julius Caesar-act III scene II and act V-containing the speeches by Brutus and by Mark Antony (“Brutus is an honourable,man.“) on the assassination of Caesar. Doug Heaman’s Brutus followed well the conventional oratorical style, but his speech .was not as moving as it could have been if we had known how noble and respected Brutus was. So the crowd reaction seemed a bit false, a fault which perhaps could not have been avoided since the scene was taken out of the context of the Play.

Roger Horst’s Mark Antony was done equally well. Since his speech depended for its effect on wit more than on character the mob response could be more credible. It failed to be so. The use of stylization, though impressive for Caesar’s death, (crumpling to the ground mouth opened wide with pain) made the mob seem disconcertingly mechanical. More vigour would have been plausible even for so small a mob. The last three scenes seemed not to have been thought out sufficiently. And, in fact, some of the parts were still being read. Act IV scene I from The Merchant of Venice failed to come

alive- at all except for Roger Horst’s compliments (mockery?) of the judge. The players seemed to be more concerned with getting lines right rather than the tragedy of Antonio. The two scenes from Macbeth were good in places. Nancy Schmidt’s portrayal of Lady Macbeth’s approaching insanity seemed true-the abrupt , light laughs especially-and Macbeth was played strongly Sandy IFryfogel. Mr. Fryfogel’s introversion of Macbeth’s terror (as if Macbeth’s mind were on his tragedy even as he spoke) was remarkably perceptive. Finally, the scene from Twelfth Night (act II scene V) suffered from lack of balance. In this scene Malvolio compliments himself on the letter (fraudulent) he has received from an admirer, oblivious to three men who finding’ his vanity hilarious had dropped the letter where Malvolio would find it. Unfortunately, Malvolio and his conceit is lost in the background antics of his tricksters; they steal a show which belongs not only to themselves but also to the victim of their pranks. Perhaps, if the director had not been one .of j the players, he might have noticed this fault. Plays for the People continues Wednesday Fevruary 23 at 1: 30 and thursday 12:30 at WLU (Location as yet undetermined). This next event is entitled 400 Years of Sexsome scenes on that subject from playwrights ranging from Shakespeare to Albee.

BC professor:

Tenure concentrates, Note: Attacks on tenure and discussion of the concept of the dying university were advanced at uniwat this week by Hagey lecturer David Suzuki and those who heard him. The following isadapted from a commentary by another University of British Columbia professor, Phil Resnick of the political science departemtn. In response to tenure issues at Simon Fraser and the University of Victoria as well as UBC, the BC government recently announced that it plans to set up a committee to look into university tenure. There has been almost no negative reaction to the possibility of direct government interference and control of the faculty by those concerned at UBC. One indication of how little things have really changed in Canadian universities, of how antidemocratic their basic structures remain, is the institutionalization and function of what is known as tenure. The practice of tenure means that power within departments remains concentrated in the hands of small cliques of senior tenured faculty; that neither students nor junior faculty have any meaningful say in the way tenure decisions are arrived at; and that the price of acceptability to the custodians of academic morality is conformity, mediocrity, and political silence. The bankruptcy of the university does not, of course, begin or end with the department. In the broader scheme of things, universities have Canadian become bastions of the existing social order-fat, rich, and complacent institutions, hooked in at every level to the capitalist pwers that run this society. A cursory glance at the board of governors of any major Canadian university makes this clear. As that rarest of creatures, an honest Canadian liberal, Harold

Innis observed over 25 years ago : “The descent of the university into the market place is the lie at the heart of modern society.” ’ That lie reflects itself in all kinds of ways. In their cubicles the Dr. Strangeloves of the nuclear age pursue their “basic” research, using Defence Research Board funds and american military grants, as though science were the natural daughter of the military. Forestry departments work hand in glove with the corporations that rip,off forests; water resource centres help plan future Canadian river giveaways; while in the hum of the ongoing academic market activity, scarcely anyone raises critical questions. If the students get too uppity, they are shunted off into meaningless committees. If any faculty member gets out of line, he is quickly and usually efficiently done away with. Job security is a perfectly legitimate concern in a society where the Hobbesian adage, “Man is to man like a wolf”, all too often applies. But it is significant that those with job security on the faculty are those who have been put through the hoops and who will pose no threat to their paymaster.

power

How many tenured faculty, members dared to speak out against the war measures act a year a go last October? Free speech, as its classical defenders held, is of significance when used against oppressive authority, when it stands out against a prevailing, uncritical current opinion. That is not how our tenured faculty had come to define free speech. Rather academic freedom has come to mean,. for them, the necessity to conform. Tenure secures protection for those who need it least-the privileged members of the academic guild-while holding a constant whip over those further down the ladder. It makes the

with dite

criterion of success conformity to the established model, and to norms of an often dubious scholarship. If behaviorism is one of the techniques of manipulation, and programming of people in advanced capitlaist society, it is behaviorism that Canadian social science and psychology departments forster in emulation of those in the U.S. If history means vindicating two centuries of bourgeois domination in Canada and Quebec, it is this history rather than that of class and popular struggles, that the universities advance. Those who seek alternatives to bourgeois social science, to traditional literary criticism, or

what have you, will be duly read out of court by the caste of gelded scholars that sits in judgement on anyone who breathes or moves. There is a legitimate case for job security for those who work at the university, but it rests on a different principle than tenure. It is the elementary right to job security that sould be that of any member of this society if capitalist economic did not dictate a reserve army of unemployed. It is the right to continue teaching so long as that work is generally acceptable to both students and faculty, not merely to the earls and dukes of the university. It is the right of a library worker to organize his / her fellow workers without being fired by directors who want mindless slaves. It is the right, nay teach in a way that is established wisdom, which would require well ver 90 per cent university faculty.

It is foolish to believe that the university will be changed from the top. The civil service mentality of the typical canadina academic, the muzzling of any serious clash of ideas in most Canadian _ universities, the hundred and one links that bind them to business and government are sumptoms of a rot that runs deep. Change, today as yesterday, will have to come from below. If the student revolts of the 1960’s have blown over, democratization and structural changes in universities and in the larger society they purport to serve are no less necessary. The faculty Thermodoreans think they will protect their sinecures by banishing dissent and firing those who dare to cross them. The fools. They only dig the grave of “their” university, ensuring that out of its sterility and irrelevance will come the seeds of future revolt. Tenure cannot disguise the cra’cks in a dying university.

Unemployed

HALIFAX (CUP&The unemployed in Halifax, tired of the evasive tactics of- the local office of the Unemployment Insurance Commission WIG), have grouped together to form the Neighborhood Centre Union of the unemployed. It is the second such union organized in the city. The first, started about a year ago, disbanded shortly after it was formed. Last week, the Neighborhood Centre, a local citizens’ group, refused to deduct unemployment insurance payments from its employees’ pay cheques until the UIC rectified the problem of late benefit cheques. This action resulted in the formation of the NCUU at a meeting held in the centre february 1. The new union passed resolutions favoring working with union in the area to “give them strength in dealing with the UIC”. Union organizer, Clyde Mannet of the Neighbourhood Centre; said

he felt the time had come for the unemployed to pressure the UIC because people needing money had to wait as much’as two months to receive benefits. Another problem,. according to Mannet and other NCUU members, was the inefficiency of the UIC staff. Several people complained they were told the reason for the delay in issuing the unemployment cheques was that they had been “misplaced”. Halifax director of the Unemployment Insurance Commission, Ron Story, took full blame for the situation, saying “whatever happened in the UIC office was my responsibility.” He promised to work in his office 24 hours a day “if the need is great enough”, to solve the problem of inefficiency in his office. Members of the NCUU went to Story’s office that afternoon (after the UIC director’s two-hour lunch~ break) and received tangible results for the first time.

ith the aura and pezazz of a new movie from MGM, with all the flash, the lights, the expectations-it’s America’s answer to all their problems: with bright red tights and flowing cape and captain America stamped audaciously across his constantly expanding chest-it’s Saul Alinsky. Professional radical, community organizer, trouble-maker, Saul Alinsky swells into another trouble area, promising relief to the oppressed masses: he’s George Washington’s answer to Karl Marx. Alinsky, who for several decades has been organizing poor people throughout the US and even has crossed the border, by request, to pass on advice in the maritimes, Toronto, and lately to unions, is without a doubt the most successful ‘radical’ since’the heightened union activity during th-e first part of this century. In the many years of his operation he has had many successes and few failures and in doing so has become a veritable institution, now revered by other such institutions as Time!magazine and the Wall Street Journal. During his years he has produced a few books and others h.ave been produced on him. Two of the more important ones are Reveille for Radicals and , Rules for Radicals. Both were written by Alinsky and in them he tells of his successes and attempts to pass on the winning formula. He also tries to encourage people, especially youth, to become pragmatic and realistic and take up the banner-a banner which he feels is what has made America great. Alinsky explains that in any case where american society has taken a step forward, there has been a radical prodding. He sees the problems of america as those of unbalance of power and of misplaced ethics and morals. He decries the emphasis on materialism-unfortunately at best he .only fights to redistribute the benefits of that emphasis. The best summation of his effect, can only come from Time magazine when they said, “It is not too much to argue that american democracy is being altered by Alinsky’s ideas...He surely offers. proof-if any is needed-that significant change can be accomplished within the american system”. For Alinsky the american people can be divided into three groups: the haves, the have a little-want mores, and the havenots. He recognizes the definite power structure that exists between these groups, and the definite interests of the haves to keep it that way; of the ‘have-alittles’ to change it slowly with a barrage of ifs ands and buts; and of the have-nots to change the power structure drastically. The oft-quoted 1 summation of this analysis is ‘to give the poor a bigger slice of the american pie.’ Alinsky readily admits and boasts that this is all he does. After all he has Time magazine backing him up. At the base of this simplistic redistribution of american wealth and power lies Alinsky’s firm belief in the basic greed of the people he is working for. “At various universities members of the Students for a Democratic Society have asked me, ‘Mr. Alinsky, do you realize that what you are doing is organizing the poor for the degenerate, bankrupt, materialistic, imperialistic, hawkish, middle-class values of today’s society?’ There has been a long silence when I have responded with, ‘Do you know what the poor of the world want or, I might add, the poor of the world want? They want a bigger and fatter piece of these decadent, degenerate, bankrupt, materialistic, bourgeois, values and what goes with it.’ ” Youth, which holds to these idealisms of making a revolution, in more than the

material. sense, is dismissed as being alienated. They are even more alienated than the poor, Alinsky points out, because they have come up from middle class homes and failed to find the better life. Alinsky is so hard on today’s youth because he realizes that it is they who will carry on the radical banner to the next generation. He is trying to encourage them to be pragmatic and realistic as he has been. God help america if youth ever becomes pragmatic and realistic. _ The pragmatism and realism that Alinsky talks about are derived and supported by decades of success on his part. Constantly, it has been proven to him that all the poor want is a bigger sl-ice. Alinsky’s success is derived from his -- mastery at assessing situations and creating tactics to match. He is without a doubt the supreme tactitian in America today, outside of political party organizers. Contrary to the practice of many of today’s youth who would derive their tactics from their politics and beliefs, Alinsky does just the opposite. He assesses the problem, decides what must be done and then conceives the degree of political theory and rhetoric that must be injected to make the outing a success. With this sort of policy Alinsky could organize anyone or anything-from the slums of Chicago to the Nixon’s wedding reception. It is this ability to mold oneself and one’s belief to the situation that has made Alinsky such- ‘a success. It is this ‘pragmatism’ and ‘realism’ which he says youth of today lacks so much. Rising out of the poverty of the thirties and forties Alinsky’s beliefs and politics are a mixture of the old-style dialectics and communist theories that have been well-tempered by the experiences and successes of many years of action. Like any institution he has gradually become more conservative in policies and actions as the years have rolled by. When he started in the Back-Of-The-Yards of - ‘Chicago he carried a gun and even *had to use it on occasion. Now he is fighting with proxy votes in the board rooms of the nations. Quite a switch-but no surprise. In Rutes for Radicals, he discusses the _ ideology of change. To the question, what kind-of ideology must an organizer have, comes the response: none except a constant belief in an everchanging truth. He is a political relativist. It is with these quick and catchy statements that Alinsky rationalizes the conflicts and contradictions of ,our socioeconomic system down to the simplicities of a power game. An organizer must be “free from the shackles of dogma”, fluid and resilient within a constantly changing society. -In Alinsky’s power game he recognizes quite realistically that power is derived from inequality but fails to go beyond that - point to realize that the real enemy of poor people is a system which perpetrates that inequality, and not necessarily those who are benefiting from the inequalities. As it- is , Alinsky only temporarily alleviates the inequalities. Often he finds that he is organizing people to fight against and win power and material

rewards from people he had organized the decade before. Alinsky talks of dialectics, the view that everything has its inevitable counterpart, which is the key to the rhyme and reason of life and its problems. He gives several interesting examples, one of which is the slums he organized during the thirties. “Their banners proclaimed equality for races, job security, and a decent life for all. With their power they fought and won. Today, as part of the middle class, they are also part of our racist discriminatory culture”. “The Cl0 was the militant champion of america’s workers. In it ranks were all of america’s radicals. They fought the corporate structure of the nation and won. Today, merged with the AF of L, it is an entrenched member of the establishment and its leaders support the war in Vietnam.” High rise housing projects which were put up to replace the rotting, rat infested slums, were acclaimed as America’s refusal to let its people live in squalor, have now turned into jungles of horror. Alinsky points out that this analysis !is absolutely essential to being able to shed the idea that one idea is good and another is bad. Unfortunately Alinsky does not go further with his dialectic analyses and try to apply dialectics to the fact that some of his successes later turn out to be failures. He trails off the topic by hoping for an improvement in the classical two steps forward and one step back, that historical development seemed to portray. ‘The question lies asto whether youth could be considered the counterpart of Saul Alinsky. espite the misgivings as to Alinsky’s politics and values, he still must be considered one of the foremost strategists, ocganizers and tactitians of his day. Whether you are a capitalist or communist, student, or student liberal, I feel everyone has something to-gain from Alinsky’s ability to analyze a situation and find the appropriate solutions. In the book Rules for Radicals, he outlines just that. He has sections on ethics, communication what it takes to be a successful organizer, and tactics. _ For Alinsky there is little room for ethical discussions as to whether the ends justify the means. For him it is a matter of whether this particular end justifies this particular means. He states further “The means-and-end moralists or non-doers *always wind up on their ends without their means”. He presents eleven rules to follow when considering the ethics of a particular situation : l ones concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s persona! interest in the issue. This is paraflelled with one’s concern with the _ethics of means and ends varies inversely with ones .distance from the scene of conflict. l the second rule of the ethics of the means and ends is that the judgment of the ethics of means is dependant upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.. .. l the third rule of the ethics of means and ends is that in war the end justifies almost any means.

iI Alinsky: liberalism ma iew guise 8

from the henderson

station

“Winston Churchill’s remarks to his private secretary a few hours before the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union graphically pointed out the politics of means and ends‘in war. Informed of the imminent turn of events, the secretary inquired how Churchill, the . leading British anti-communist could reconcile himself to being on the same side as the Soviets. Would not Churchill find it embarrassing and difficult to ask his government to support the communists? Churchill’s reply was clear and unequivocal : ‘Not at all. I have only one purpose-the destruction of Hitler. If Hitlerinvaded Hell I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.’ ” l the fourth rule of the ethics of means and ends is that judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point. l the fifth rule of the ethics of means and ends is that concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.’ l the sixth rule is that the less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means. l the seventh is that generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics. l the eighth rule is that morality of a means depends upon whether the means is being applied at 2 time of imminent defeat or imminent victory. To this rule Alinsky appends an interesting analysis of whether the US was justified in dropping the atom bomb when Japan was virtually defeated. l the ninth rule is that any effective means is automatically -judged by the opposition as being unethical. l the tenth is that you do what you can with what you have and clothe it in moral garments. He emphasizes this rule with a discussion of why Gandhi was so taken with peace-because he realized his people could never have beaten the British with weapons they didn’t have. 0 finally the eleventh rule of means and ends is that goals be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,’ ‘Of the Common Welfare’, ‘Pursuit of Happiness’ and ‘Bread and Peace’. These rules are just a small indication of the genius of experience. In Alinsky’s discussion on communication, it begins to become apparent how and why he has become so successful. Alinsky states that an organizer can lack any of the qualities of an organizer except the ability to communicate. People, he points out, only understand things in terms of their experience which means you have to get within their experience. Further, communication is a two way process. If you try to get your ideas across to others without listening to what they have to say, you can forget about the whole thing. “These rules make’ the difference between being a realistic radical and being a rhetorical one who uses the tired old slogans, calls the police ‘pig’ or ‘white fascist racist’ or ‘motherfucker’ and has so stereotyped himself that others react by saying, ‘oh he’s one of those’ and are promptly turned off.” “This failure of many of our younger activists to understand the art of communication has been disastrous. Even the most elementary grasp ,of the fundamental idea that one communicates with the experience of his audience-and gives full respect to the other’s valueswould have ruled out attacks on the a merican flag. The responsible organizer would have known that it is the establish-

ment that has betrayed the flag while the flag itself remains the glorious symbol of America’s hopes and aspirations and he would have communicated this to his audience.” power The building of mass organizations which eventually‘ could merge on a national level to form a popular power force requires the work of many organizers. In 1969 Saul Alinsky started his own school for exactly the purpose of creating those organizers. The school features a full-time fifteen month program designed to turn out proteges of the one and only. For Alinsky the organizer must first and foremost be able to communicate. But there are several other properties which are also desired. He must have a neverending and compulsive curiosity. People who start to ask why are already on the road to rebelling. With curiosity goes irreverence. Curiosity cannot exist without it. “He is challenging, insultin-g, agitating, discrediting. He stirs unrest.” Imagination is the inevitable partner of irreverence and curiosity. How can one be curious without being imaginative. “It is the dynamism that starts and sustains him in his whole life of action as an organizer.” Humour is essential to a successful tactitian, for the most potent weapons’ known to mankind are satire and ridicule. An organizer must also have a bit of a blurred vision of a better world. It is this property that often guides one through the daily, monotonous work of organizing that can easily kill one’s enthusiasm. He must have an organized personality as much of the work he does and the people he does it with are continually disorganized. -Alinsky feels that the organizer must also be a well-integrated schizoid. This property is necessary because the organizer must be able to split himself between believing that his side is completely right and knowing that there are two sides to every argument: between going all-out for everything and eventually coming to a compromise. The organizer must also have a good ego so that he will have the self confidence to do what he knows ‘must be done. Finally, for Alinsky, the organizer must have a free and open mind and political relativity, so that he will be able to bend with the reality and the pragmatism. Alinsky’s tactics are where his true power lies. Once again he outlines several rules: l power is not only what you have but also what your opposition thinks you have. l never go outside the experience of your people. l wherever possible go outside the experience of your opposition. l make the enemy live up to their own > book of rules. l ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. l a good tactic is one that your people enjoy. l a tactic that drags is a drag. 0 keep the pressure on. l the threat is usually more terrifying / than the thing itself. l the major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. 0 if you push a negative hard enough it will eventually push through -to its counterside.

l the price of a successful attack is a ‘, I constructive alternative. l pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. l the real action is in the enemies reaction. l the enemy properly goaded and-guided in his action will be your major strength. l tactics, like organization, must move with the action. 0 no one can negotiate without the power to compel negotiation. o the first step in community organization is community disorganiti ation. All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new. The one beauty of Alinsky’s books is the way in which he illustrates the rules he gives. While working in Rochester trying to bring Kodak within the realm of humanity, he devised a tactic which brings forth many of the foregoing points. “I suggested that we might buy one hundred seats for one of Rochester’s symphony concerts. We would select a concert in which the music is relatively quiet. The hundred blacks would be given a three hour pre-concert meal in the community, in which they would be fed nothing but baked beans, and lots of them; then the people would go to the symphony hall-with obvious consequences. Imagine the scene when the action began! The concert would be over before the first movement.” “First the tactic would be outside the experience of the establishment. The action would ridicule and make a farce of the law. It is within the experience of the participants. It is within the law. And the people will enjoy doing it.” Other such tactics include an idea for an airport ‘shit-in’. Blacks would be organized to occupy the washrooms of O’Hare airport, thus not permitting the people who comeoff the planes who really need to use them, to have access. Another famous action was when Alinsky planned to have over a thousand blacks bused to a downtown department store which practised discriminatory hiring practices. The blacks would shop around in the store all day and just their presence would scare away any of the rich white customers. Then just before closing everyone would buy everything in sight; COD. This would tie up the delivery trucks for days as everything would be returned. Alinsky’s most recent type of action has been to organize proxy votes in order to have some influence at the annual meetings of corporations. There is some doubt as to the effectiveness of this scheme because of the millions and billions that are tied up in mutual funds which will never be able to be controlled by proxy. But he plans and schemes nevertheless. While many of his plans have been inordinately effective as far as the short term goals of attaining new rights and benefits; all his tactics fall short of increasing the political consciousness of the people involved. They never go beyond changing people’s overall expectations: they just satisfy the short term desires. As far as the books are concerned either is worth buying if that’s where one’s head is at. Rules for Radicals is better than Reveille for Radicals as far as tactics and instruction are concerned. This book was released last year, and as far as I know it is still in a rather expensive hard cover. Reveille was written over twenty years earlier and is more concerned with urging people to become radicals and with the history of the development of radicalism in America. Both books are laced with examples and illustrations and with the way he tells the stories, it can make for some pretty hilarious bedside reading for liberals-cum-radicals, who wish to be pragmatically primed. -wiIliam

After a season with more wins than losses, the waterloo-women went right to the top in OWIAA action last weekend.

The girls varsity curling team entered the championship round of the final bonspiel at McMaster university on the weekend. The competition was extremely keen and the pressures were tremendous.

Going into the second day of competition, the draw pitted Toronto and Waterloo. Going into the eight end, the girls were down one. Under tremendous pressure, the team scored and won the game.

With only three-quarters of an hour rest, the girls went right back into the ice into a pressure game that they had to win against Laurentian. Again, never giving up, the girls were down 3 coming home. Barb Dowler, the skip read the ice

beautifully out-smarting the Laurentian skip, scoring 3 points and forcing a playoff end that the Athenas won on last rock. Now with Queen’s and Waterloo tied, a playoff game was demanded. By the fifth end the girls never looked back and won handily. Barb Dowler did a fantastic job of calling the shots while she had excellent and many times flawless help from her vice-skip, Ann Mallon. Allana Chipps and Brenda Grant swept many rocks into a scoring position and were the work-horses of the team. All four girls played extremely well and are very much deserving of their honours. This marks‘ the last 3 out of 4 competitions having been won by the university of Waterloo athenas.

Friday night the Warriors faced the Carleton university ravens and came away with a 6-2 victory, to keep their play-off hopes alive. Warriors outshot Carleton 39-22 but the referee was blatantly on o.ur side as he slapped Carleton with 11 of 18 penalties and gave them two, 10 minute misconducts also. The Warriors mav have been hard to follow for the loyal fan due to the absence and addition of new faces. Roger Kropf was absent, Bill Stinson sidelined with a knee injury, and John Hall, who quit the team a week ago, returned to pace the squad with 2 goals and an assist. Peter Paleczny alternated between right wing and his usual defense position, and proved to be the spark-plug for the team, rattling heads in the corners, leading the offensive onslaught, and scoring the winning goal and assisting on the insurance marker. Warriors led 2-1 at the end of the first, on goals by Dennis Farwell and Jim Morris, then played a heady second period coming out with a 5-2 lead on goals by Peter Paleczny, Hall’s first of two, and one by Nickleson. Saturday afternoon the Warriors faced the toughest team they will face this season-the Loyola Warriors. Waterloo wasn’t expected to even be in the game, and with Loyola scoring at the 1:02 mark of the opening period, it appeared as if the end were near. With Loyola topping the Toronto Blues 5-4 on the Friday night and a little under the weather from the victory party that followed, they had trouble finding their skating legs in the first few periods. Waterloo, again led by Peter Paleczny at his right wing position, potted three unanswered goals in that opening period to come away with a 3-l lead. Paleczny scored the opener 2nd assisted on the second goal scored by Jim Morris, then twinedenter Dave Simpson, broke out of his 6 game scoring-slump with the period’s closing goal. In the second period, Loyola picked up the tempo as they outshot the Warriors 16-5. A hell of an effort by goalie Murray Child (and the assistance of a couple of goal posts) kept the Warriors in the game. Kent Kilpatrick was just doing his job when he took Dave Brandt out of the play in front of the

broken. He will be sorely lost to Loyola for the rest of the season. That second period saw the teams exchange goals, Warrior John Hall scored to give the Warriors a 4-1 lead, then Loyola scored with the second period ending 4-2 for Waterloo. The third period belonged solely to the visitors as they -got it together and fired 4 goals to the Warriors one. Although outshot 44-81, Waterloo gave the few fans attending, something to think about. Roger

’ -

Kropf scored the last Warrior goal and added two earlier assists and combined with Dave Simpson’s goal and two assists to be top point men for the locals. Wednesday, the Warriors travel to Windsor and then return to the barn for a big one Friday night against McMaster. Game time is 8: 15-and is the last home game in the regular schedule, so come on out and see our team battle the Mauraders from Mat as they try to squeeze Lutheran out of the hockey play-offs also.

Last weekend and early thisweek, the b-ball Warriors played 2 league games against teams from Waterloo Lutheran and Windsor. Both games were very important in the Warriors attempt to remain in first place for the final OUAA ._ standings. The first game was played on Saturday night when the chicken hawks from lower University Ave. ventured’ into the peoples’ palace. On hand- was the largest b-ball crowd of the season and about half way through the first period, the majority of them were uneasily confident that the WLU squad’ would be routed by our own. The score was 30-15 and the Warriors had dominated the action for the previous 5 or 6 minutes. A big factor that gave Waterloo this lead was the play of Paul. Skowron. On defence Paul gobbled up the rebounds and offencively he had a hot hand, making the first three shots he attempted. -The tide turned abruptly however, and the Hawks scored 14 unanswered points to bring them within 1._-. The Warriors finally got back ui the game and managed to regain a slim lead by the break (37-34). =--

All through the second half it was “anybody’s .game with the lead changing hands many’ times and neither crew lead by-much more than 3 points. The score with only 1 minute remaining showed U of W enjoying the largest lead of the half 75 to 70. The drawn out last minute produced only 3 points _for -Lutheran and Waterjoo squeaked out a 75 to’ 73 win. Ed Dragon seemed to be the steadying force on the Warrior squad during the second half. He l made some great. individual plays -and netted 13 points. Jaan Laaniste topped the Waterloo scorers with 16 points. He showed great hussle throughout the game and in the second half, seemed to be all over the court. On the boards, Paul Skowron countinued to rake in the rebounds in the second half and pushed his point total to 14. For WLU Dean picked up 27 points, and Danby scored 14. The loss for Lutheran all but eliminated th.em from the playoff scene. The next test came for the Warriors on Tuesday night when the Windsor Lancers were hosted in the jock shop. The golden boys were ready for the Lancers though and they came away with an 85 to 76 win. The first half action was almost indentical to that of Saturday night, except for one major difference. The Warriors were the team, to fall behind early in the contest. Both teams started extremely slow and neither had much scoring punch in the early going. Windsor was the first team to come alive as they< left the Waterloo contingent standing still to take a 15 point lead 31 to 16. Led by Laaniste and Bilewicz the Warriors fought back gallantly. Over the last eight and a half minutes they outscored the Lancers 21 to 5 and managed to grab the lead just as the half ended, 3736. Shortly into the second half of play $he home team took the lead that they never relinquished. After being behind by 8 or 10 most of the way the lancers rallied with 2 minutes left to scramble within 3 points ofour crew but they were denied as the Warriors went on to win by 8.

87-5.6 T

’ *

The refereeing in the game left much to, be desired. Bad calls were numerous and a larger percentage seemed to be called against our boys, especially in the lancers last vain attempt to catch the winners. Laaniste lead the ,Warriors with a,big 38 points, 24 of which came in the second half. While they weren’t clearing the boards Bilewicz and Skowron found time to drop in 15 and 10 points respectively. The 2 wins left the Warriors with a 9 and 2 record and at least a second place finish. By the time you read this, 1st and 2nd place will have been decided. No’ matter which place they hold there will be a playoff game here on tuesday of next week. All the marbles will be on the line so make sure you see this the last Warrior home game this season. -

jockshorts Recreation boom Each year the intramural department is confronted with a notable increase in the demand for activities on a noncompetitive, no awards, no referee level. This area allows students to integrate with faculty and staff and husbands to participate with their wife, if desired. The objective is to create fun and exercise for those persons who do not have the necessary skills, opportunity, or desire to take part in the competitive leagues or tournaments which are held each term. An indication of the great enthusiasm for activities which the intramur-al department classifies as Recreational was shown in the Fall 71 sterm when 8 designated leagues were formed involving 65 teams and approximately 5000 male and female participants. These leagues were complimented with instruction in skating, badminton, swimming, and squash. This term’s activities on the recreational league basis have increased to 81 teams in 6 legues with participation anticipated at well over the fall record mark. Coed instruction was offered once -again in skating, squash, swimming, karate and judo with golf the newest and most popular activity registering over 150 students and faculty. Skiing was also attempted, meeting with a reasonable amount of success and held back only due to a lack of facilities. These instructional programs are aided and complimented by 10 active clubs this term : archery, badminton, curling, fencing, gymnastics, skiing, underwater, weight lifting, whitewater and 5 and 10 Pin Bowling which under the direction of Norm Sargeant and Kevin Murphy has become one of the most popular leisure activities in the intramural program. The recreational leagues which have been scheduled this term are ice hockey, broomball, ball hockey, co-cd volleyball, co-ed -inner tube waterpolo and 5 man squash. A limited number of defaults have made this area of the program most enjoyable to all, and the imagination put into selecting team names shows that we are serving a very elite bunch; such classics as Flak’s Quacks, Bio Buggers, Erb Street Ballers, T-Nuts, Duke Manor Muthers, and the Titanic Floating Points make it interesting. A system of winning team captains phoning in game scores to the intramural office to indicate the calibre of play and record defaulting teams has had little success, but captains are still encouraged to do so. ’ Without a doubt broomball is the most highly participated ret activity in the fall and winter terms and offers male and female students a lot of fun and excitement due to the equalization of ability when players are taken off skates and must contend with their balance on a slippery surface.

This equalization aspect is demonstrated in- the co-cd innertube waterpolo league which reduces the need for swimming ability, and gives everyone the opportunity to be a good float,er. Perhaps more of this equalization of ability will be seen in other activities as the trend toward participants wanting fun out of an activity and not Brownie points for winning, continues to increase.

recently completed winter Olympic games, Karen Magnusson, although a student at Simon Fraser university, will not be in the figure skating event because the CIAU does not sanction a national championship in that particular sport. Waterloo’s talent has not approached close enough to national calibre to warrant inclusion in this year’s teams. Last weekend the warrior squash team travelled to York to compete with five universities. They finished with a 11-14 win loss record for third place, one point ahead of Queen’s. . York won the tournament with 21 points, four ahead of second-place-finisher, Toronto. MacMaster and Trent trailed the field with eight wins each. Paul Dunning playing in the number five position for the warriors, won four of his five matches losing only to Toronto’s Jon Barker. This fine performance by Paul was the best for the warriors. The squash team is now preparing for the OUAA Squash Championships being held at Western Feb. 25th27th. If the last three invitationals are any indication, the warriors would finish in fourth place out of the eight teams participating. However, if they can pull some upsets against Toronto, York, and Western .(a good possibility), the team could easily place second or third. The strong K. K. Rabotniki team from Skopje, Yugoslavia, and members of the Canadian national team will participate in Canada’s first nation-wide basketball tour, scheduled to open in Vancouver on October 10.

This not only marks the first time a foreign basketball team will travel on a full-nation tour, but looking at their schedule, this may be the first time a foreign team will drop dead on- Canadian soil. In the fifteen days it will require the tour to trek from British Columbia to Newfoundland, the visitors will face thirteen different all-star teams from various areas. In the initial phase, the western swing will see the Yugoslavs playing in each province as they trip towards Ontario. While here, they’ll play a provincial group then have two days off in Hamilton (after eight games in eight days) before heading east for six games in as many days. Following the Canadian tour, the team will attempt to climb the boarding stairs at St. John airport for a trip home.

Student athletics That may be a possibility if the federation’s latest ruling comes to pass. At their last meeting, the group decided that maybe students should have a‘bit more say in what happens to their money. Earlier this week, federation president Rick Page and councillor Dennis McGann got heads and hearts together to study the feasibility of the proposal and emerged with a tentative plan for a student directed athletic policy committee. Their suggestions include a chairman to organize the board with representatives from each‘ faculty. This stand stemmed from a proposal forwarded by the president’s fee-study

Student games -I =‘,

The world student winter games scheduled for Lake Placid, New York has chosen ‘ .. .for a better world tomorrow’ as its motto. Slogan notwithstanding, the games should be a good thing. Twenty-eight countries are expected to compete in the event starting next Saturday. The games will feature six categories: alpine skiing, nordic skiing (including jumping), figure skating, speed skating, ice hockey and bobsledding-luge (as a demonstration event).

committee which asked for the intramural fee to be included in academic payments but that the monies going towards intercollegiate athletics be put to the students in a referendum. \ The administration will now be faced with either turning over the running of the department to the people actually funding the system or be in the position where the students may not want to see a continuation of the present authoritarian-run proceudre, and eliminate its existence entirely. The Page-McGann proposal, although not complete, would see the student board as a policy-deciding body having jurisdiction over budgeting and policies along with some direction on hiring or’ firing of personnel. The personnel factor is a touchy one, so the two have decided.on a stop-gap procedure where neither the present administrators nor the student group will have final say in the matter, but decisions will have to be a joint effort. The move would put the direction of the athletic department closer to the federation of students and not completely beyond the hands of the populace at large, as it now seems to be. Bitches of students will not have to go through the wishy-washy athletic advisory board presently existing, who are not sure where their advising is supposed to be directed. The proposal has yet to be ratified by the federation of students and the president’s advisory council has not yet accepted the terms of the fee-study committee, but as it stands, this is how things are. So there.

Around the league The warriors are still hanging on. This week they played Windsor and the outcome could well decide fourth place. Not including that game or any other of this week’s sgames the standings are as follows : GPWL Western McMaster Guelph Waterloo Windsor Lutheran Brock

With one game remaining the warriors are leading the western section of OUAA basketball. The final match of season play, Thursday against Guelph; could assure the warriors first place but a loss will still keep them in the playoffs. The playoffs are run as follows: -in the west, first place plays fourth and second plays third (first and second play at home) Tuesday February 22. -the two winners from the west meet the two winners from the east in a four team playoff February 25-26, at the home of the eastern winner. There is a possibility of a tie for fourth place in the west between McMaster and Windsor. This would mean a sudden death game this weekend to decide the final playoff position. As of the games Tuesday night, Jaan Laaniste is 17 point behind Morgan of Guelph, 259-242. Laaniste was 29 points behind prior to Tuesday’s game but scored 38 against the Windsor lancers in an 85-76 win for the warriors, while Morgan netted 26 for the Gryphons as they eliminated the Lutheran golden hawks from the western section playoffs, with an 80-72 victory. The basketball athenas will be hosts to other conference teams next weekend although they themselves won’t be included in the race for top honors. The Waterloo group have emerged from season play with too many losses to make the scramble for first pIace. This is a direct reversal of positions for the squad which has been contenders during the past few seasons. The athenas, however, are favoured to take the consolation championship. Avery Brundage is back in the- news again. After long and deep meditation, the

International Olympic Committee president has decided the Soviet system of amateurism is too professional. The Russian soccer team, for example, plays in the world cup against the best professionals in the world, and those not making that squad compete in the Olympic games. No-no says Brundage, the Russians cannot foster the athletes under governmental programs, practicing ten hourseach day with no other means of livelihood, and still qualify. To date, this represents the largest problem the aging president has tackled and the summer games will show what his battle tactics are.

Jockjottings There is one way to get out of the American service as basketballer Terry Evans found out this week. Grow to be 7foot &inches-tall. Evidently anyone over 6’8” is just too big a target for the enemy to shoot at. Grand River Collegiate will be the site of a marathon basketball evening. The event kicks off at lo:30 pee em on Friday February 25 and will continue on a rotation basis until lo:30 on Sunday morning. All proceeds will be forwarded to the cancer fund. The campus media will be represented by Wheels, the chevron’s own b-ball analysis who will get together with the downtown media moguls (chym-guys and k-w record, etc.) and a radio Waterloo representative. Some team called the California cuties are billed as the funniest basketball novelty show and will appear in an effort to upset the media funny-guys. This starts at 7:30.

Don’t forget the Russian U if T game goes this Tuesday night over in Varsity arena, TO town. Ottawa’s Penny Werthner set a world’s indoor record for the 1,900 metre run going 2:45.9 in Vancouver on Saturday.

The peaceful tranquility of village life has recently been shattered by the resounding “‘thunk” of frisbee meeting beer bottle. ’ Playing to a standing room only crowd the newly organized sport of Bisbee has fanned the competitive spirits of the normallylethargic scholars who reside there and abouts. Officials in the Department of Physical Education and Recreation haye as yet refused to speculate as to whether Bisbee will become a required course for all jocks. It is not known whether they could come up to the grueling standards of stamina, strength and co-ordination necessary to be a successful Bisber: The pioneer North-4 second floor league has completed its first week of scheduled play. during which Bisbee evolved from its humble beginnings to the sophisticated spectacle that it is today. The development of individual style and technique has highlighted the first week of play. The early standup method gave way to the “Woody semi-crouch”, which in turn instigated the “Ferret-kneel”. The “Douche straight shot” was soon rivaled by the “Ralpher richochet”, leaving other Bisbers scrambling to establish an individual identity. Organization -h’as not remained static either. . Score-boards and computer scheduling adorn the walls, while carefully kept stats inform the individual Bisber at a glance of hi,s position in the race for the “Christopher Blair Middlebro’ Memorial Trophy” named in honor of the donor of the original frisbee used in league play, now on display in the “Bisbee Rallof Fame”; North-4,210 (league headquarters). So fierce was the competition that the official frisbee suffered mortal damage through repeated collisions with wall and bottles-plus the odd spectator. Appeal is presently tabled by the Federation for the expropriation of funds for procurement of an endless supply of official ‘Whammo Pro Model, 108 Gram Frisbees” and replacement beer bottles (players empty their own). Plans for future expansion should leave ample opportunity for out of house Bisbers to encounter first hand the thrills of Bisbee. Those seeking a franchise please contact “Clarence C. Brown”, in the league’s headquarters. So broad is Bisbee’s popularity that few complaints have been received, the most serious being a complaint by the “Big M” that he is not getting the sleep needed for a growing boy. I So great has been the attraction of this new spectacle that don Steven J. Papamarko reports no water leakage into his room from above thus far this term. Look forward to next week when the official rules and current t league stats will be published.

Upper eng in hockey

All season the game between defending champions Upper Math and perennial contenders Upper Eng has been touted as the game of the year. In the fall league Upper Math ammassed an 8-O record while Upper Eng for the first time in its history failed to make a playoff birth. When Ziggy Musial, coach of Upper Eng returned this winter, he confided that his engineers would win it all and not lose a game and maybe not even be scored upon. To date, Ziggy’s predictions are almost 100 percent. The engineers in their first three games ammassed a 3-O record with 15 goals for and none against. It was in their fourth game against Grads that Gord Campbell fell a.sleep and allowed his first goal in four game. Last sunday, the climate was set. Both Upper Eng and Upper Math were 4-O. The engineers must have been still angry at their loss the University of Toronto engineers because they scored 3 unanswered goals in the first period and 47 seconds. It wasn’t until late in the period that the high flying Math crew got untracked and scored their only goal. Final score Upper Eng 3 Upper Math 1. The only undefeated, unscored, upon team is the league is VSouth. However their last two games vs Village 2 SE and Arts may prove too’ tough for the surprising South crew.

Huntley Vl-West finished second third and fourth respectively, in times of 31.6, 32.0 and 33.2 seconds. The funniest event of the day occurred when nimble foot Nuxoll, after having out manouvered the 16 gates in Olympic style, yelled “Where the do I go” as he flew by the final gate, the timers and judges and the field of skiers. As a result he rated a DNF score.

Curiing top draw Ten teams took to the curling ice at the Glenbriar last sunday and curled 3 eight end games. Not until the final end was completed could a champion be established. In the final match the Optometry rink skipped by Len Easton took shot rock and scored 3 to defeat the previously undefeated Terry Olaskey’s rink from Arts 7-2.

A good day The annual ski day at Chicopee was a resounding success as well over 200 skiers took to the slopes in 28 degree sunny weather. With all T-bars and the new chair lift open access to all the hills was a bonus to the avid skiers. It was encourageing to see a great number of inexperienced skiers attempt the art as over 60 pairs of skis were rented for the day. In the racing department, three events were held: In the men’s experienced giant slalom (over 2 years of skiing) 14 Jean-Claude’s paralleled the way through the fast but open course. Final results showed John Thompson (V2:NW) on top with best total time of 61.9 seconds in two runs. Right behind was Bob Bowes also of VZNW in 64.5 seconds; in third Neil McKendrick of Coop combined runs of 32.5 plus 33.0 seconds and tied Charles Madill (Village 2-SE) with 65.5 seconds. In fifth spot, with runs of 33.5 plus 32.7 was Jeff Chalmers of V-West. In the men’s novice event, the skiers were permitted only one run with Tim Podmore of V2-SE outgating the 10 other competitors in a time of 23.3 seconds. Layne McGee of V&South trailed closely

Three Waterloo swimmin’ women placed on the OWIAA league squad will be flying to Fredericton, N.B. next week to take part in the college nationals on the 26th and 27th. Athenas team captain Judy Abbotts, Chris Lutton and Debbie Farquhar lead the uniwat splashers to a fifth place finish in last weekends league’ championships. Toronto won the team title with 344 points ; McMaster was second with 269, western third with 220, York, 1% and Waterloo 190. There were ten teams in this years meet, held at York. Judy scored the only victory for the Athenas taking the 200 metre freestyle in a fast 2:32-O She also came third in the. 100 butterfly in 1: 16.5, and second in the 100 metre freestyle in 1:08.5. Chris who is coming on strong of late came second in the 50 metre butterfly and won the consolation finals in the 266 metre individual medley. The 50 yard freestyle was taken by Western’s Regina Sulk but Debbie Farquhar, in her first year with the swimmin’ women won a judges decision over Kathy Teakston of McMaster. Both girls were clocked in identical times of 31.5. Debbie also came in fourth in the 100 freestyle just missing third spot by a tenth of a second. Her time over the distance was a quick 1:09.9, her best ever performance. Laura Foley swam the best race of her life in the 400 metre individual medley. This event is by far the hardest of all swimming races to accomplish. The competitior must complete four lenths of the pool in each of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and finally freestyle; that’s if you’re still going. Laura

Big things in the future. The wrestling warriors will head to guelph tomorrow to defend their half of the OUAA Wrestiling Championship and hopefully grab the other half from Western, last years co-holder of the championship. The warriors major opposition this year will come from the arms of Guelph and McMaster. Last year the graplers did the old “face in the stretch trick”. Coach Kurt Boese, who is also one of the Canadian Olympic coaches, is aware of the problem that faced his team last year and will make sure that it will not happen again. To a wrestler the final days of training before a championship meet is concentrated on losingthose extra pounds that might place him in a weight class in which he has no desire to be placed. The rest of the time is spent on sharpening up their favorite moves, the ones that are performed on the competitive mats in public. Some time isalso spent on trying to improve their weak points. The old and the new warriors that will be competing at Guelph should, if what is written is true ( you can only believe two thirds of what you read. HA,HA,HA! 1, win their third in a row. Pat Bolger, John Barry, Tim Wenzel and Jim Lotimer whould be the best bets for first places. But if you are in a betting mood you can place George Saunders, Fred Scheel and Don Spink at the top of the finishing order in their weight class. Although Loyds of London have not made any public statements about the outcome of the matting ’ in Guelph tomorrow the money is in favour of the warriors.

Other good performances were posted by firstyear geography student Anne Pollock who won both the loo-metre and X&metre breaststroke consolation races and came second in the so-metre freestyle consolations. The 200 breaststroke consolations will be long be remembered by three Athena swimmers by the nemes of Liz Saunders, Maryann Schuett, and Anne Pollock. ’ The girls had made the consolation finals and were swimming just perfectly. At half way all three Athenas were duelling between themselves for first position. he other opponents in the water were falling behind in their wake.

article and graphics by randy hannigan the chevron

’

In the past decade there has been an ever-increasing alienation between people’s cultural awareness and the technological evolution which is controlling their lives. People are becoming increasingly aware that the rapid progress being made in the field of technology is constantly conditioning them to accept the changes as the new way of life. Many sociologists and psychologists are warning the people to- prepare themselves for the age of super industrialisation and technology. Books such as Future Shock deemphasize the humanistic qualities of the individual in society and emphasizes the role that the imdividual must take in order to survive in an age of mass technology. One of the most frightening aspects of the rise of technology is the increased emphasis on perfection and speed. This is how most persons rate change, or progress; any thing that has increased efficiency or speed or capability to do repetitive tasks takes on the value of being progress. Often the machine becomes the focus of attention and the products of the machine are attributed to the genius of the machine. Completely forgotten are the combined specialised efforts -of several human persons. One ‘person alone cannot rival the machine but combined, they are capable of producing a superior machine, so the battle continues. Completely alienated by this battle is the person unskilled in the field of technology, for the race to build a bigger and better machine more effectively. points out one’s otin inadequacies. This leads to a feeling of helplessness and frustration on the part of the individual who is desperately trying to find , his identity in a rapidly changing society. The world of technology is a plastic one and there is becoming an increasing awareness of a backlash against technology. Universities and managements of corporations are desperately trying to justify the existance of a state of mass technology. Students are constantly being lured into engineering, math and ‘science programmes with the promise that technology--will be the basis for society and, that the technocrats will therefore form the elite of any- society . based on technology. People have also been conditioned to accept the proposition that only highly qualified personnel ,in the field of technology are capable of making the decisions COP cerning the future course of technology.

The average person, they say, does not understand the workings of technology and therefore is incapable of making rational decisions concerning its future. What remains to be realized, however, is that the “average” person is affected in a very real way and that he is capable of understanding, if not the technical language, the overt implications of technological change both on himself and on the society in general. To many persons there is an ambiguity to the term progress. To most, progress is change, for in the dynamics of today’s society change is inevitable, a fact most persons have learned to live with. However, there is an awareness how that what-one individual desires in the way of social change may not be the express wishes of another individual. Often the outlook toward social change is determined largely by class consciousness.As the situation stands now, the means for creating social change through technology lies mainly with one class. The only strata that can afford the research and production costs is the class that controls the money from the large corporations. And this is a-small percentage of the population. How have we come to accept this ideology that technology must be the way of tomorrow and that the majority of people must abide by the rules set down by a small elite of persons? Certain Iy there has been a large propaganda-campaign undertaken to make the public aware of the benefits of new modern technology. This campaign has largly been waged through the various media, radio, television and the newspaper or in-general -print. One must be aware, however, that it is the same elite that controls both technological change, and the media. For years, people have allowed the major corporations to condition them to the point of supporting the corporation by using their products. It only takes three one-minute commercials, “in order to bring you the following programme for your enjoyment”, and the sponsoring companies benefit and profit, and make you aware of the latest necessity for every household. -

During the first twenty years of I ife for television broadcasting, the publ i c was fascinated by the new mediur ?-t and therefore not too critical of content. They were happy to have the added convenience of home entertain,ment, something which went beyond the realm of radio. I Commercial television did not change much over the first twenty years, content-wise, the quality got better, the situations became more stereo-typed, and token ethnic groups were used to demonstrate the liberal aspects of the medium. But still the television industry was being _supported , by ’ the large corporations. The television studios still had to sell their programming to the sponsoring companies without regard or obligation to its viewing public. The sponsoring companies in turn tailored the programming to suit .the nature of the product they had to sell. Naturally, ’ if the company was promoting dishwashers, they couldn’t sponsor a show dealing with the problems of living in.the ghetto., So they sponsor a show that takes place in suburbia, concerning a “typical” family, father, mother and kids all getting along perfectly together, even when the coloured maid is brought into the picture.. -

No& nobody that is watching this particular programme even knows a family just like this one, but they figure that it must exist somewhere, or anyway its nice to think that it might exist. In f,act, maybe a step towards being more like that family is to buy a dish- . washer that the commercials say are a necessity, and anyway the family on television have one and they’re perfect, Laren’t they? This trend of thought may not occur during the first half hour programme but given a few more shows similar in content and this process will become apparent.

Cable television -an added dimension-.

I -

The major networks in the US. and Canada operate on a broadcasting principle of sending .a signal‘ on a designated frequency through the air. Antennas on each house pick up the waves and send them via a lead-in wire to the television set in the house. Air waves, however, are subject tointerference from other electro-magnetic waves and also are subject to blockage from high hills or buildings in the city. Thus, good television reception was dependent on a favourable geographical location. Thus changed when enterprising businessmen found that they could market the television signals by installing antennas on high hills or mountain tops, thus pulling in distant and weak signals. These were then amplified and sent to subscribers by cable. Eventually‘ the cable television companies controlled a network of cable connecting thousands of television sets in their area. They also controlled the means to offer more stations to their subscribers. Initially, this meant just more commercial stations,largelyoffering the same programming content, but mildly different enough to be called a variety. The first major change to be seen in television programming was the advent of educational television. This was brought about by the abilityof the cable companies to convert ultra high frequencies to the conventional very high frequencies that were I being used by the ’ commercial television stations. The educational channels-were forced to broadcast on ultra high frequencies since the number of very high frequencies were limited, andlargely dpminated by the commercial stations. This limited the viewing audience, however, since they either had ,to subscribe to the cable or have very exultra high frequency , CUHF) pensive converters on their television sets.

Cable casting

In Ontario, educational television on a full time basis was begun on September 27; 1970, a station originating in toronto and broadcasting on channel 19. The station is controlled by Ontario Educational Communications Authority, which is responsible for educational broadcasting throughout the province. However, the programming, fifteen hours a day, reaches only the residents of southern Ontario, and then only thirty five percent of all the television sets in that area can receive channel 19. Of those, six per cent of the total audience regularly tunes in. The educational channels are largely devoted to the elementary and high school age kids with little programming aimed at the community in general. The programming content is produced by the educational authorities and used in schools to supplement course curriculum. As of yet there is very little involvement by the students themselves, it is very much a/one-way street. It is a start and it does familiarize the students to the use of television as an educational tool. _

Video tapes With the . introduction of portable the possibility of video tape units, interested citizens students and producing their ’ own programs for showing over public television is greatly .increased. This, along with a ruling of the 3 Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC), helped to create the beginning of a new television format.

Srnce the cable companies are. controlling the cable system and receiving the profits from the system, which can be very lucrative. with rates at over’ five dollars per month per subscriber, (the local cable company Grand River Cable Television, has approximately 55,000 subscribers and controls an area that extends to Stratford, Cuelph and Gait plus the Twin Cities area.) the CRTC ruled that the cable companies must make provisions to air a community cable station. The idea was to provide a medium for the community to communicate with the rest of the community, without regard to professionalism or content. A completely free-format programming station is still a long way off, due to political and not ‘technical reasons, but it is a possibility.

Financial responsibility \ Whenever anyone starts discussing community media, the right of all the community to have access to the various media, the question arises as to who willpay the bill for such a service. One would assume that the community, along with the federal or provincial governments, should take the responsibility to finance such undertakings. This, however, is not the case, as yet. The CRTC in its booklet “Cable t.v. and you”, states that “If you come up with a good plan - one that will beea real service to your community, that is practical and financially feasible, that has a built-in. guarantee of continuity and that provides for different programming from what you nowsee on your TV set...the CRTC will give you a sympathetic hearing.” But the CRTC will not give you any; -money, nor will any other government from except perhaps agency, programmes like Opportunity for Youth, and they are very rare and do not provide for continuing financial support. So until the governmentsets aside funds for the development of community cable programming, this particular medium is still out of the finarkial capabilities of most individuals. i

The answer then, as in so many other cases, is to form a collective and devise some means of creating the initial capital needed to buy the basic equipment. A group could start producing video tapes on half-inch porta packs for about five thousand dollars, including editing and monitoring equipment.* Video tapes are reuseable, but have .a reasonably high initial cost (about twenty-five dollars for a half hour tape).

Wired World A local group of citizens have formed an independent organisation for the production of video tapes and ‘radio tapes. The group is called Wired World, and is one of the few attempts in Canada to produce video tapes suitable for showing over cable televis~ion. The group places the emphasis of their programmes -on the involvement of individuals from’the community, people producing their own ideas and cornmunicating to others in the community.The organisation is open ,/to any interested citizens who are willing to spend some time talking about their ideas and how most effectively they could communicate them to others. The group. received its initial capital from a grant from an individual on campus who thought enough of the idea to invest more than ten thousand dollars in -the project, however the project is now dependant to a large scale on donations received from individuals who have used their equipment. It as yet has no public support. 1 Wired World isnot limiting itself to the produ&ion of video tapes however, since there is a limited time for their showing ’ on the local cable channel. The group has applied through the local initiatives program for a grant to start an .FM radio station, since they feel that the community can best be reached through radio. Wired World is just a beginning to the /realm of community media and.there is a need for more groups like it. It is only through the pressures brought about by these groups that the CRTC will be forced to make more cable channels available to the people of the community. The potential of cable casting is almost unlimited, but the development must be guided in the right direction, that is in the interests of the community rather than the .interests of commercial profits.

Since cablecasting is so much cheaper than broadcasting, it might make sense to create several independant cable channels than to have the present few commercial channels that are available now. Conceivabty each channel could carry a completely different type of programming, ranging from experimental film to drama to almost anything that one might want to watch. This would also create the means for persons to create their own shows according to their interests, and have a place to air them. It is only through programming like this that people will really come to appreciate what the rest of society is really like. They might even come to the realisation that they do have something in common with the rest of < society. One thing that will be missing in the cable television channels will be the plastic professionalism that is so blatantly obvious on *. the 1commercial channels. Gone also will the attempts by advertisers to sell products through television programming: ’ commercials may never disappear completely, but. hopefully they will be forced to change in format and in the ways that they are presented to the viewing public. The question now arises as to how the public will accept a new television format, one that seems to be contrary to their idea of proglress. The new programmes will not be more efficiently produced and there will be no attempts to achieve the high level of perfection that the commercial stations strive to achieve, even to the point of retaking scenes several times. !n the new programming the inadequacies will be an honest reflection of the persons who are creating the programme. it i’s in this way that people may better Lrelate to the programming they watch on television, relate not only to themselves but to the community around them. Specifically, there must be a varied enough programming form,at that people will be able to find something that they may relate to themselves. For it is only in this way that perhaps more people will attempt to get themselves involved in the community media. People must reaiize that they are capable of using- the media to their own benefit, and to thedbenefit of the community in general.

Chevron praise? May I congratulate the chevron for its fair coverage of the Benevoy case (front page, January 14). Some would argue that when a case is before the courts, a newspaper should give it only minimal coverage, with absolutely no comment. But when corruption exists within our campus, it is the duty of the chevron to expose it. The chevron has always fulfilled this duty. Who says freedom of t.e press is threatened in Canada? God help you in your continuing struggle for truth, justice and the american way.

Thank us all I would like to thank the student federation for their fine cooperation during- the cleaning of the campus centre. Their help ensured that the job was done on time. Bob Dekker Duraclean

A .question of student involvement tom Patterson The attack on a compulsory activity fee was initially launched, not by students, but by a &-oup‘of deans. This was not the first time such an attack had come from this quarter, but it was the first time this approach had been used. The federation, which had become incorporated, was still vulnerable in this area, as the activity fee is technially a university, not a federation levy. Student government had reached a new level of stability and strength and student leaders were demanding a voice in university decision-making. Some university officials preferred that this participation be channelled directly through the various levels of operational and-academic administration, rather than being co-ordinated by an organized association of all the students. While the majority of students were just about as conservative as the faculty on this issue of stubent participation, the voluntary fee idea failed to find any takers among the students. The attack was finally quashed by the university president, who favoured an independent association of all the students. It was inevitable, however, that the events of the next few years would revive the whole question. While all areas of the federation continued to grow, it was the political role that received the most attention and was pushed the hardest by federation leaders. The view that the federation’s primary function was to be a political front, and a radical political front at that, was pushed to the breaking point, and the character of the student governme,nt changed drastically. Students’ council, which had been an effective and business-like body, began to disintegrate. It was increasingly unable to cope with the political thrust of the executive, which was finding its base in general meetings and student groups outside council. The stable and by present standards, even stuffy and formal student organization, was taking on the characteristics of a banana republic, with executives rising and falling. The academic year 1967-68 saw two councils and three presidential elections. Attacks on the lack of “representivity” of the federation, a decline in credibility, and the loss of the continuity that council had managed to maintain in spite of the transience of the student population left the organization in a pitifully weakened state. The wave of student radicalism was followed by the back-wash of “youth culture”, and the federation retreated into the sandbox. The federation, as an organization was unable to cope with the problems of reconstruction that confronted it. The students generally had not, only sickened of the squabbling of student politicos, but came to regard very cynically the kind of reformist iolitical and educational policies and organizations that preceded the “radical” period. Throughout this time of flux, the question of compulsory fees reasserted itself. The centrifugal effects of a growirig campus and growing faculty societies could no longer be met by the federation, and the secesson of the grads and the rumblings of separation among the engineers gave substance to the disintegraton. University presidents were no longer reliable allies of the federation. Students no longer wished to be involved in student activities, and aquiesced to the administration of their affairs by shrinking cliques.

The gains made by previous councils in the area of student participation were eroded and the federation was helpless to do anything about it. The pessimism that has come to be so characteristic of our whole society, also took hold of the federation. Why should the students pay a compulsory fee, to be administered by the federation, given this state of affairs? There are two sets of circumstances under which they should not. If the students on campus right now decide that they themselves do not want a stable, cross-campus student association, for whatever purpose, and do not wish to see a base provided for the reconstruction of one for future students, then the compulsory fee should be termin,ated. If th,e students want an intensely then it should be a political front, voluntary association, so that it will not be hampered by demands for majprity representivity. The arguments against the latter alternative are .probably the most apparent. Most of the students do not want such a front and the ones who do would be well advised not to try to do it with the general student association. That is not a workable role for it. But with regard to the former position, the arguments may not be so obvious. Why not, many people ask, build an organization up from a voluntary level? A voluntary association, in order to grow, would consequently be more sensitive to their wishes. Wrong. The ability of the federation to deliver on its objectives depends-on many factors, but one of the big ones is money. And if the federation is to become something that the students can identify with, and can realize tangible benefits from, it must be able to deliver. Council candidates for a voluntarily supported will be unable to present programmes to the voting membership because they will not know whether the money to support them will be there. Increasingly, some programmes will have to become profitable, in order to finance programmes without income as they expand, and this will drive prices up. The student newspap-er will increasingly have to cater to the whims of advertisers, instead of the wishes of the students. Communications will cease to be communicative and will become PR. Councillors, in taking a stand, even on sandbox issues, will no longer be risking loss of their own seats, which is no big thing for most of them. Rather than more effective leadership, there will be Fore timid leadership. The capital to provide funds and office services to clubs and organizations, provide the services and advice of a full time business manager, back up long term committments and contracts, to permit borrowing when necessary, and to allow the stability and efficiency of advanced budgetting would simply not exist, or would %be too uncertain to be useful. Unless of course, the federation makes a deal with the university to provide many of these things, but this wil,l not only be out of student control, but also subject to the imperatives of overall university budgeting and priorities. It was tried before, several years ago, and it doesn’t work. The question of individual rights is often raised as an objection to compulsory fees. My own inclination is to counter this with the view that there are common interests which transcend, without contradiction, selfish interests, and it is in the individual’s own interests to further these common aims. In fact, it is within the

rights of the community to- insist that the recalcitrant individuals lend their support. However, just to keep it all within the same philosophical framework as the “individual rights” argument, it can be pointed out that obligations go with rights. Unless one is a complete anarchist, one has to concede that an individual has an obligation to his fellows to respect, and if need be, participate in protecting their interests. Everything I’ve said so far, however, begs a very big question. Why have a Federation at all ? Or an I Engineering Society, Arts Society, Math Society, Grad Union, Science Society, PERSA, Environmental Studies Society, Faculty Association, Staff Association, CUPE and all the others? Can the university not take care of the interests of all these? Point of view is part of the answer. We all view the university from different angles, see different complexes of characteristics of it, and expect different things of it. While these are not all exclusive of one another, or necessarily in conflict, they all differ sufficiently in emphasis and quality to require that they be represented by, and in some cases administered by, organizations which can co-ordinate and articulate a point of view.

by university employees? Besides, even if there were no activity fee to support such a department, we’d pay still, or at least, the taxpayer would pay. Representation is another aspect. On matters of university government, student aid, discipline, residential, transportation and recreational facilities, and tuition fee structures the students need a voice, and as unifie,d a voice as Ipossible. Even on matters of education: curriculum, grading systems, departmental participation and so on, where students are directly involved in decisionmaking, communication, co-ordination, and mutual support from across the campus can be tremendous assets. The beauty of the federation is that it can be what the students want it to be. The statutory parts of its constitution, those specified by the Charter which is established by Queen’s Park, allow a wide scope of activities, but mandate only that it serve the students’ interests. The policies, procedures, and structures can be altered by Council, by referendum, and by the anniral meeting. Its officers and legislators are elected by the students, and can be repaved by the students. To participate does not demand very much of the members. Read the papers, talk to your council rep, think about how to vote, and then vote ib elections, and referenda. That isn’t much, but if everyone would do at least that, the federation could work. Various systems have been tried: voluntary fees, administration sponsored associations, and federations of department or faculty societies. When Canadian Union of Students was functioning, the federation’s organization was the envy of reps from other who learned of it. It has worked before, arid still can. Don’t throw it away.

Administration is another. While the wish to provide a university may programme of recreational activities and entertainment,*special interest activities, and various student services, it cannot effectively give attention or money to these. It has too many other things to do. It could, of course, set up a ‘department exclusively charged with doing this, but if such a department exists, why not have it independent of overall university budget demands, controlled by the people who use it, and administered largely by volunteers instead of expensively staffed

Before we at the chevron get a week’s reprieve of pizza and the warm fellowship of the office, there are a few last-minute grievances to air. What happened to the friendliness and the non-competitive elements of the inner-tube water-polo league that the waterbabies tried so hard to instill to the masses. People sure are getting hung up on winning, aren’t they? With all the capitalists out there why does some mother-fuckqr have to rip off a pair of new work boots while the owner is playing volleyball? Sports sure builds good character in people...The library seems to be screwing up also, sending out red slips to people who have already returned books that were requested; sure will like to see all those red slips after april 28...Looked like we were going to have a race for the noneditor’s position, but gord moore dropped out so dave cubberley will be our nominee to council. Good luck dave, it will be a rough year ahead if we lose the referendum. With a week to regain our composure and bring you more wonderfulthings from the world of sports, we were: allan monks (twice), ron smith, such a night the sports department hasn’t seen, george neeland, sally kemp, john cushing, who is really a gazette spy, randy hannigan, wheels, peter hopkins, paterick reid, and one-a-day brand dennis mcgann; at entertainment, other than sporting entertainment, we were: mary holmes, Craig millage, lynn bowers, brute Steele, paul stuewe, david cubberley and last and most janet stoody; doing the fantastic job in the features area we were: W.W. Sheldon, david cubberley and randy hannigan; doing up the super visual part of the paper so that: the news wouldn’t have to write so much we were: randy hannigan, Scott gray, gord moore, brian cere, bill lindsay, Steve izma, helmut zisser, two rookies from the news department, bill Sheldon and george kaufman, and once in a while we actually have engineers down here. Photographing engineering weekend were dave purvis, bob satnick, and bob allen, with giqo niccolini handling the technical advice. Bringing you the news this week were bill Sheldon, george kaufman, deanna kaufman, joan stopped in, nigel burnett and friends, bill lindsay, helmut zisser, allan Iukachko, mary lindsay, dave blaney, boris prociuk, who has a hard time remembering phone numbers, and last but not least get well una. Sure seems as if there are a lot’of people who are branching out in their journalistic talents. And speaking of talents a special thanks to you at dumont who not only help us put out the paper but help us lose volleyball games. Trudy take care of Winnie we don’t want her to fade away. rh.

To so-me people, false security is still security. At one time, to be successful, you had to work your men hard. Bringing production up to levels of optimum efficiency meant the use of such inspiring slogans as: “Show them who’s boss”, or “Push ‘em to the limit and they’ll feel better when they’re finished.” The results often made one proud of his workers. _

But times changed. Hot-blooded and mis-guided union leaders dwelling on minor problems incited the workers to violent strikes and riots. Which is all very bad for the--interests of industry. Suddeniy, age-old methods of controlling production and workers were outmoded. Techniques that had been effective since the times of the Pharaohs went the way of the galley ship and the Sedan-chair. But, as technology advanced, so did it adapt. And its ability to adapt is just another indication of its strength and durability. Management and technologists now realise that the worker who thinks he has something to worry about is a poor worker. No longer does the threat of unemployment spur a worker on to new heights of efficiency. Quite the contrary. These threats are too often fuel for the fires of discontent, fires that can burn up profits. Karl Marx knew about worker alienation. And capitalism can learn from Marx.

So what can you, to-day’s corporate leaders, do to your hard-earned profits? P rotect Actually, there aren’t too many changes to make. Look around you. , Our society is already well-organised basis for the kind of optimistic thinking worker needs to be happy and efficient And do we still need labour? Of course. cheap, and not only does the worker product, he uses his wages to buy it.

The worker thinks of his family when he works. He is usually their only means of support. That precariousness gives him a sense of value-which is reflected in his work. The worker thinks of affluence and opportunity when he works. He feels confident about all the “nice” things in life-from cars to coca-cola-that are apparently available to him through the modern marketplace. These thoughts chase him through his work-yet his survival is totally dependent on the marketplace. The worker thinks of better education for his children. Education prepares them for their happy place in making the system work-which makes the worker work. I
