Studen ts occu py admin Over 200 students occupied the fifth floor of the university of Waterloo library Wednesday evening to demonstrate their opposition to the proposed university of Waterloo Act. The group went to the library from the campus centre, where an afternoon teach-in on university issues gave way to a call to arms by a few student leaders. Rick Page-past president of the federation-and several other students urged that the meeting be moved to the fifth floor of the library, and about 200 of them followed. The students entered the floorwhich houses the university’s business offices-about 15 minutes before the offices closed at 5 pm. Reactions from the staff varied, but no physical opposition was offered as the students streamed around the desks and filing cabinets. The action centred around disagreement with the act’s provisions for future student representation on the proposed two new university governing bodies. Under the terms of the act, students will fill just 12 of 113 seats on the two-tier structure. Immediately after reaching the offices, federation president Terry Moore released to local press a statement of the action’s purposes, saying the occupation was a “symbol” of the student’s disgust for the tokenism embodied in the act. The students were also opposed to the fact that off-campus representatives from the community are to be appointed to the proposed governing bodies by the lieutenant governor as in the university of Toronto act, which is being fought by students on that campus. At five, the office staff left, and were replaced by head of security Al Romenko and several uniformed membersof security, although no move was ever made to remove the visitors, nor was any ultimatum ever issued.

to let the group stay in the offices as long as they wished and not bring about a confrontation with security officials. The announcement raised questions about the desirability of staying. Discussion veered in several directions but finally seemed to centre on how the people in the sitin could relate to the people at the university who hadnot even taken part in moratorium day. The problem seemed to focus on how to raise the political consciousness of the rest of the university community without alienating it. .
1500 attend
After considerable discussion most students left, leaving about 50 people on the fifth floor. They planned to stay until thursday noon at which time they would leave to join the discussion in the campus centre about the events that took place on Wednesday and to decide what should be done. Some of those who left, including federation president Moore and other student government officials, gathered in federation offices in the campus centre to publicize thursday’s meeting. \

Leo Johnson, history professor and advocate of Canadianization for the Waterloo campus, responded to Matthews opening statement on the role of the university student by pointing out that “the vast majority of the working class never get here. Who gets here, in fact, is predetermined by where you start out”.
Four students arrested arrested. The office staff of secretaries were allowed the morning off. At the meeting in the campus center at noon it was decided to carry the demonstrations further, and it was decided that the next building to go to would be the modern languages building where the office of Burt Matthews is located. About one hundred students gathered in the foyer and Burt Mathews spoke to the group. Mathews stated that there was to -be an open meeting of integrated studies that afternoon with the senate executive, so the students decided that they would leave the building and attend the later meeting of the senate executive. The faculty club was the next building to be occupied as the students were hoping to talk to some of the faculty present there. The students stayed there , for about two hours before leavin c , for the senate meeting.

Johnson referred . to the university as a reflection of the society around it and stated that “most of you are not going to be anything but what the structure of the institution wants you to be.” Moore’s opening remarks dealt with the role of the student at this university and with the proposed University of Waterloo Act which comes before the Ontario legislature next week. “A university is .a place you go to get a degree, not to learn anything”, he said. “Professors are more interested in research and money than in teaching students.‘We should have as much say in running the university as the faculty and administration.” In reference to representation, Moore pointed out , that students are often reminded that “it is not your numbers that count but the validity of your arguments.” He continued to explain that when student committee members are continually voted down by overwhelming majorities, it is difficult to believe , in the - validity of arguments. nder the conditions of the U of W et, students will be given $2,out of 13 voting positions j‘n the unfvi rsity governing bodieg. , What gre w oing to do so we won’t be cons psa tly voted down?“, asked Moore

Moratorium
becomes occupation
Nancy Pocock, war research expert, raised the question of war research in Canada. She advocated that Canada is becoming a vehicle of the American war machine. “Although the men are coming back from Vietnam”, she said, “the machines are staying and the war k not winding down. It’s spreading all over Indochina. There’s a new bomb that won’t explode when a truck runs over it but will when a child steps on it. Where is this research going on? Knowledge is important” she conceded, “but so is how and why it is being used.” Marjaleena Repo, editor of Transformation magazine, asked why universities have grown so fast. “Is it because they wanted you off the streets and out of the job markets? Now they are afraid of you leaving here and going back to the streets.” She also pointed out “Opportunities for Youth is there to give you the illusion that there is such a thing as opportunity for youth. These programmes will grow now because there is no place for you to go once you get out of university. Why are you going through four years of boring experience just to work in the post office? ” Archie Sherbourne, dean of engineering said, “My own view is that the world is inevitably coming down to being socialist.” He also dealt with student representation. “If we are going to have people from outside telling us what to do, I see no reason why students shouldn’t be doing it too. Students have more relevance on committees than many individuals present there. We seem to be perpetually responding rather than putting our own views across.” Sherbourne mentioned that he did not feel that the board of governors is particuiarly capable of running a university.

students made comments at large from one of the three audience microphones in the middle of the campus centre crowd. Most dealt with . methods of changing the present situation of the student on this campus. Matthews agreed that the board of governors is obsolete and that there is need to involve the whole community in the governing process of the university. “Who is going to determine who represents the community?” asked Moore. “The lieutenantgovernor in council hand picks the members.” To a question on war research, Matthews responded, “There is no classified research at the University of Waterloo-that is policy. I don’t know how to define research.” “One way is where does the money come from.” remarked Repo. “That is not an adequate definition”, stated Matthews. An accusation was laid against the student awards committee by one of its student members. “They’ve done some pretty sneaky things for next year”, she said. The first thousand dollars given to any university student will be purely loan. The maximum ‘amount a student can receive if his family income is less than 7,000 dollars is 1,025 dollars. “That means the most he can get free from the government is 25 dollars”, she explained. To a question on the evaluation of students, Matthews asked, “Why not give everyone a degree the day he registers as a freshman? Why evaluate t students at all?“, and received tumultuous applause. In the midst of panel and audience pleas to decide upon a method of attacking the problems came the most poignant remark from Lutheran student Paul Jones. “We all know what can be done, but we all feel we’re part of a mot1

privileged class and we like it here and we aren’t’ willing to sacrifice (a degree> to change it. I’m sure we’ve all sat in ,classes and mumbled ‘this is bullshit’ but until that becomes a loud scream, nothing will happen.” After weighing the merits of continuing with the open forum, a motion was carried to move to small workshop groups and continue discussion on specific issues. Workshops included Canadianization, the role of the university in society, student government, war research and the Wright commission. It was in the workshop on student government headed by Terry Moore, Archie Sherbourne and federation pastpresident Rick Page that objections to the U of W Act were raised. Page had explained in the open forum, clauses of the act would directly affect students-the double jeopardy clause and the unequal student representation. A motion was made by the federation past-president at the end of the ninty minute workshop to take immediate action against the university of Waterloo act. Before the majority of resource persons and a number of students had returned to the campus centre great hall to resume discussion, Page took a microphone and made an appeal for action. “Let’s move this meeting to the business office”, he cried “and stay there till Burt agrees to call back the university of Waterloo act for further discussion on. this campus. Are we going to stay all night? How’many of you are going to stay all hight?” And Moore agreed that “It looks like any further discussion will take place on the fifth floor of, the library.” By 4:50 pm, approximately 206 moratorium participants had occupied the administration business offices in the Dana Porter arts library.

Sitting here in the wings. Functions racing to an‘d fro with earnes-t faces and grey coats to capture the words and the vision. The bands play. The light shines. The bird glides down from the clouds. And the MAN. The early press release claimed that the 1st Act at Eastwood Collegiate was to be an informal “Bear pit S&sion” in which M. Trudeau would “meet the people.“. He wore a red rose and excitedty cheerleaders ran --around-no doubt because of the informality of the occasion. Everyone stood at attention for the leader’s entrance and remained standing, eyes front, for the “National Anthem.” The three panelists, John Schildroth, Judy Brisson, and Tim Eaton, are permitted one question each. The first question regards the sale of non renewable resources, carrying a claim that there is no overall federal resource policy. M. Trudeau says that, while there are individual policies governing certain resources such as electricity and oil, there are no overall policies though Canada doesn’t export
beyond what she requires. But he says, we are reaching a point where we are realizing that there must be overall controls. Someone asks when the election wili be-4 don’t know.” Then, why its kept such a secret. a.-“Why are you waiting for me to caII an election?” A question a bout abortion : “Why does the federal government *make decision regarding such a personal issue?” The answer is that the government does this often and only desires to prevent that which is anti-social. He is asked whether he feels that his government made a mistake with the War Measures Act. “NO”-Applause. He is given a quote that goes something like “...when a statesman forsakes his private conscience for public duty he leads his people into chaos.” M. Trudeau agrees and says that is why Canada recognizes conscientious objectors--Ike Pierre Vallieres-he adds that some must pay. A young girl soliliquizes that she believes he has done a lot for Canada and thanks him. Thun-

Cut back inside the +nn of the Black Nut. M. Trudeau enters and is cheered by L well -appointed LIBERALS who have corn-e to hear his words. There is a happy chatter and tinkling of glasses-a’ whole lot of workers in the Grand BaIfroom. The leader speaks. He says that he is proud of the people in Kitchener who are loyal to Canada and .notes the prosperity of K-W. He states that the people are interested in the preservation of language and culture and thus are interested in minority groups and the individual. Respect for the individual, he says is important, if Canada is to be a country of peate and harmony. . Cut to the outside of the Inn. A policeman is beating a student who later lies unconscious. He is later still, taken to hospital. Another John- Joyce (poli-sci) is taken to jail. THE LIBERAL PARTY IS THE ONLY PARTY WITH SUPPORT FROM GEOGRAPHIC, POLITICAL, -IDEOLOGICAL AND ETHNIC DIVISIONS. Canada can only stay as good as it is if people respect individual beliefs-within the law. The leader signs autographs, talks to the people and having finished with such grass roots discussion departs.

Four women represented Kitchener-Waterloo last weekend at the first national cross-Canada Abortion Action Conference in The women are Winnipeg. members of the K-W Women’s Coalition to Repeal the Abortion Laws and have been active locally in working for repeal. The 230 delegates, representing 65 different organizations from across Canada, voted unanimously to establish a national organization to seek repeal of the abortion laws. The Canadian Women’s Coalition to Repeal the Abortion Laws will have its headquarters in Toronto.
The organization will have as its platform and goals repeal of all sections of the criminal code dealing with abortion; support of the right of all to sex education in elementary schools and ready access to birth control and contraceptive information and devices ; opposition to forced sterilization and attempts to. link abortion with population control and support of the right of every woman to choose whether or not she wants to bear children. Other resolutions called for the establishment of a cross-Canada
newspaper and a May l-6 week of educational activities and petitioning to publicize the abortion law repeal campaign. Delegates expressed their support of Dr. Henry Morgentaler, facing charges of performing illegal abortions in the Montreal area and voted to send him a telegram of solidarity and support. A proposal to make abortion law repeal a major issue in the coming federal election was passed. The K-W Coalition took part in a demonstration during Prime Minister Trudeau’s visit to Kitchener yesterday.

Lambert by john keyes
the chevron The push for Canadian content in uniwat’s courses was dealt a decided blow at< tuesday’s Arts Faculty Council meeting. The meeting was called specifically to act upon Ron Lambert’s proposal for three compulsory courses of Canadian content. The feelings of faculty on Canadianization became painfully apparent as they voted down the C.anadian course motion. English Prof. J. Gold expressed regret that a motion such as this, if pa’ssed, would destroy the academic freedom in Canada-a country, in his eyes, relatively “free from coercive chauvinism”, a d suggested that the problem thi1, motion was addressed to could be solved through the selective action of a “sensitive chairman”. Choice of similarly “sensitive” faculty members would, as Gold said, contribute to increasing the Canadian presence in the education process. Leo Johnson, however, pointed out that rega‘rdless of the nationality ratio in the faculty, the issue at hand-namely actual Canadian content within the courses-would not necessarily be answered. The “85 percent quota (for Canadian faculty) would leave faculty free” as far as guidelines in material go. When federation rep Dave Peltz suggested an amendment to the original motion, seconded by Dave Robertson, that with its passage the A and B requirements be dropped as of the year 1972-73, the debat.e took an interesting turn. Jan Narveson met the motion with a query about the legality of student two recognized, voting representatives on the Council,

defeated
both making and seconding a motion. A solution to this loggerhead, proposed by C.F. MacRaie, chairman, was: “Let’s compromise and cover ourselves. Will a faculty member second the motion?” However, this stumbling block was finally removed by John Wilson when he pointed out the paradox of student representation if student members of council; were not considered equal to faculty members. With the tabling of Peltz’s until another amendment meeting, on the grounds that it addressed itself to an issue too major to be handled as an amendment, the debate returned to the proposal before Council. K. R. Davis launched a lengthy criticism of the measures suggested to place a Canadian perspective in the university environment. Describing it as an “unusual kind of motion calling for unusual action” he went on to say that it was “a rather dangerous and inadequate way to solve the problem”. He feared a reversion to the university as a “correctional institute” for social ills. As in last week’s debate, the issue of compulsion was soon pulled into the fray. Davis compared requiring Canadian content courses of the student to “compelling people to go to chapel...the principle is there depending upon where your values are”. . When questioned’ about the compulsion existent in the present requirements, Davis apparently contradicted himself when he said he recognized this compulsion, but that these compulsions form an integral part of the B.A. programme, whereas he could not see the issue of “Canadianization” in the same light. In fact it could be

grouped with a large number of “great causes” not inherent in the programme. Attacking the proposal, J. Dyal . “academically called it irresponsible” and expressed a the basic desire to “rethink issues”. Recognizing the need for ‘more Canadian content in the Arts Faculty, and a I ist of basic core courses in this area, he disliked the idea of adding these requirements to the A and B. Stating that the ideal undergraduate programme is one of free choice, Dyal said this choice must work within the context of present requirements.. Dave Robertson made a motion that the decision on the Lambert proposal be tabled until November of this year, on the grounds that further discussion between both faculty and students is needed. Suggesting teach-ins and a referendum of the Arts students on the issue, Robertson saw an opportunity in this approach to involve students in the discussion. With the defeat of this motion,’ Ron Lambert commented on the concern of the Arts Faculty about the “nastiness of compulsion” when laid upon students-this concern of the faculty does not “lie with student participation”. Leo Johnso! suggested later that, in fact, Arts faculty “set up all kinds of barriers to student participation”. A further attempt at amending the motion was made by Prof. P. ivI. Merickle wishing to strike the “three full” from the original

proposal, thus leaving it a matter of deciding to require “courses containing significant Canadian content”, without-a position on the implementation and number. The implementation policy could be handled by a unique committee, selected by the dean of arts and presented to Council, and not be saddled on UGAG, which is caught up in “pedestrian” matters. Concerning this approach, Leo Johnson addressed the question of who should have the right to Idiscuss or decide upon it. Proposing that those .involving themselves in this proposal should be limited to: 1) those who would make a concerted effort to study Canada, and know what it is, before deciding whether it is relevant to the education process; 2) those who have made a committment to this country, in one form or another (without this committment individuals should abstain) ; 3) not those aspiring to administrative positions, thus

removing themselves from the area of purer academe. Expressing dislike of JQhnsom criterion, Gold addressed faculty saying that he didn’t “think we should be brow beaten” and he foresaw Johnson coming to the next Council meeting “with his test-tubes taking blood tests”. After further debate the question was called on the amendment and was consequently defeated. This- defeat was immediately followed by a call for the vote on the motion itself and similarly was defeated by a vote of .14 in favour and 35 against. Shortly after the adjournment of the meeting there was a brief and discreet verbal confrontation between Dyal, and Lambert and Johnson. The result of this encounter was reported to be a threat made by ‘Dyal to have Ron Lambert and Leo Johnson censured by the Arts Faculty Council over the whole issue.
<ignorance
the chevron If any students at this university have any illusions of learned men carefully deliberating the decisions which affect his daily life as a student, he should visit one meeting of the university senate. Also known as the faculty senate, since it is composed of faculty members-mostly deans and other departmental biggies-the group displayed at its last meeting an astonishing ignorance of the parliamentary procedures within it which it attempts to work and-m&e astonishing-university policies. One of the issues before the senate was a motion from the tenure committee that decisions on tenure be made qn a -faculty level rather than a senate
The Ontario Federation of Students was formed during a three day committee level. After tossing that about for a while and finally conference starting march 9, at Uof T where fifty delegates from postpassing it, someone decided the motion seriously secondary institutions across Ontario met to discuss student involvement threatened the power of senate. at Queen’s Park. At that point, someone else raised the point that Minister of Universities and Colleges George Kerr told the group friday that in view of the past failures of student organizations, if OFS is to no one on senate even knows what tenure means, , and that senate had been promised a report on the succeed it must have the mandate,of the students. nature of tenure for a long time. “There has always been some input and some influence on government Dean Cornell sluffed that one off, saying by student organizations. I’m not elminating the idea of some financial something about a committee which would report support,” he said, “but if you have a projected budget of $25,000, you soon, but the fact remained that no written or apshould not be expecting 50 to 60 percent of it from the province.” proved criteria exist for granting tenure, even Member institutions have pledged 15 cents per student towards though it is going on continuously at this university financing the new organization.

Hence, the granting of “tenure” upon a faculty actual involvement in the issues vital to OFS legitimacy at Queen’s Park. member takes on the nature of initiation into some It is not enough he said, for members to “just dabble in provincial affairs”.

But the status was granted “human relations,,; anyway, with the stipulation that it be reviewed in _ two years, at which time there might be some basis on which to judge the question. From there, the senate bit into the request by the federation to call off classes Wednesday for Moratorium Day discussions. There must have been a rumor out that a “Most Reactionary Speaker of the Day” award was to be given but. Robert Huang won it. Huang, who originally volunteered td serve on the student-faculty committee to work out Moratorium Day and then suddenly took his ball and went home, explained why he walked out on the committee: “I don’t see tihy this occasion is so special. Classes weren’t called off when David Suzuki came to campus.” (Huang was instrumental in bringing Suzuki to campus, and may have felt personally hurt.) Other professors took the request as more of an affront to their professional standing than their persona I hang-ups : “Why can’t it be held on Saturday?” “We’ve gone on record against calling off classes, we can’t set a precedent now.” “Is this a demand from the students to dismiss classes?” “Why is everyone getting carried away with this?” (Shouted by Huang after he was the only one to really get upset by the whole thing.) “Dismissing a class at this time of the year would be a very great inconvenience.” (This from the head of a department. He was reminded by Burt Matthews that most teachers have little reservations about rescheduling a class for a personal reason.) “There’s a fait accompli here, and we’re just being asked to approve of it.” (This said with great professional indignatiori.) Next month they may deal with grading standards, so everyone can be set for a long meeting, since we all know ahead of time there are no criteria for the grades students get here, and never will be.

conservationists and other ‘groups have strongly objected to. One amendment would have ,changed the working “pa&s at. interest” to .“parties adhersely affected”. The ‘latter tet;m is used in the ‘present’ law and has beeh accepted. as including citizen groups. The amendment was e-defeated, leaving wording which clouds the issue of whether citizen groups have standing to obtain judicial review and challenge orders of the l%vironmentaI 1 Protection Agency administrator. The bill includes loopholes. which will allow the restrictions imposed by it to be easily *evaded and . also ‘permits penalties which would be insignificant to corporations. There are no controls over products intended for export, and definitionsof “imminent ’ hazard” and “substantial adverse effects on the envii-onment” are thoroughly inadequate. -.Pesticides control has been heatedly debated since their introduction after World War II. DDT warnings were’ issued as early as 1949 when it fi?st appe.ared in milk. In the early sixties the publication of Rachel Carson’s Siient Sprjng brought the dangers of pesticide use to the public“attention. She predicted that certain species of birds were doomed - to extivction because of the use of hard pesticides, Hard pesticides include DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, hepfachlor, endrin, lindane, and chlordane. They remain in the etivironment for many years. What scientists. call “biological magnification” occurs in the use of these chemicals which are insoluble in ’ water but extremely soluble in fat. The toxic chemical becomes extremely concentrated & it moves’ up the food chain from-worm to bird to human beings. Sttidies conducted in the Long Island Sound ‘. showed a relatively “safe” level of DDT which entered the water:/.000003 parts per million.‘HoNever, when the zooplankton (microscopic litedthat fish feed dff) in the water which tibsorbed the DDT was tested, it was found to contain .04 ppm. Minnows, which feed .on the zooplankton, were found to contain 5 ppm, and the larger fish which feed .on mi‘nnows -contained 2 ppm. Birds which eat the .
,
larger fish were found to contain 25 ppm DDT-10 million times the “safe” amount found in the water. Dieldrin, a pesticide how widespread throughout the environment, becomes concentrated in animal body fat. The toxic p2>isohs are stored in the cells and cati kill animals, especially birds, either directly or can be stored in body f&s for later destructive effects. If a bird draws on its body’s reserves during stress (such as during migration or rearing its _young) the poison can invade the nervous system, sendirig, the bird into agonizing convulsions and tremors, and aft.er several hours it dies. One fight or flight Fan be lethal fdr a badly contaminated bird. Eagles are esp&ially vulherable, since they.are at the top of the food chain: However, there is al.50 wide concern ‘for the sparraw hawk, osprey, brown pelican, peregrine falcon, mallard duck and ‘other . species who are sharing the same. threat of ex- . ’ tinction. DDE, a’ breakdown of DDT, affects the reproduction of these species. In the end, too liftle calcium is produced, which causes thin-shelled eggs that are too fragile to supvi\ie incubation. What this does to bones of young children i’s not kndwn. i Some pesticide residues are stored in the egg’s food, supply and the developing embryo dies befbre hatching. Hawks, eagles and ospreys are declining at rates as high as 20 percent per year. Qf the thousands of brown pelicans in California, only one chick was reported hatched i’ii 1970: Scientist? have noted that dieldrin and DDT can also. cause abnormal __behavior in bird species. - Sparrow hawks which have been contaminated have been known to devour their, own eggs or newly hatched young.

Communal Farming: - - _ An Alternative to>High Rises ,
story and photos Randy Hannigan
A seminar on the feasibility of communal living as an alternative to’high rise living was presented last thursday afternoon by three students in the planning department.’ The seminar was held at a farm on the Niagara Escarpment, since it was felt that this would add a sense of reality to the project. The farmhouse complete without electricity or running water, and heated by only two wood stoves, certainly helped convey the feeling of communal living. A few of the students decided to stay a couple of extra days on the farm. The planning department chartered a bus to take the students to the farm, and about twenty students took advantage of the trip, along with several professors. The seminar was based on a communal farm system situated on St. Josephs Island, located just
‘east of S.S. Marie, pnt. in the St. ‘Mary’s River. St. Josephs Island was chosen because of the local micro climate which makes farming feasible on the island. A community of up to eight thousand population was proposed based on the carrying capacity of the land. The community would be self sufficient and would use the island as a hinterland for the community. Conservation of nature, plus the conservation of man’s sanity were some of the objectives of the community. * The community. was not designed to solve all of the problems of todays society but only to offer an alternative to those who felt that urban living was slowly stiffling individuals development and potential. It was argued by some that the alternative was not broad enough and was limited in it’s appeal to different types of persons. The communal living
arrangement complete with group marriages required a basic life style ideology, and it was felt that only a minimum number of people could lead this kind of existance. From a planning viewpoint it yas felt by some that the commune offered very little in the w’ay of a solution to the problems of todays urban society. Communes will always be the exception rather than the rule, and will never form a stable part of the economy. Some felt that the commune people will always be a transient population, and would never form a permanent community. However, movement among various communes would be feasible since skills acquired on one commune could quickly be utilised on another commune. The whole seminar was generally regarded as an academic -exercise, however the sponsors ‘felt that most of the theory could be related to a real commune.

committee
The planned edition to the social sciences building (discussed in the chevron centerspread: A place for architecture, A building for. DES, tuesday, february 28,1872) has been halted in the early stages of design development. Pressure from the user committee, formed by students to attempt some say in the building design, is considered primarily responsible for the verbal agreement reached with the division of environmental studies building committee to halt the project for further study. Although physical resources, the building committee and the executive committee have agreed to the halt, requests to have the work stoppage put in writing have failed. It would appear, at least on the surface,that the user committee has managed to attain some degree of credibility in this matter. But there are still problems, the least of which is how to. use this credibility. Representatives of the user committee met with president Burt Matthews march 15. Matthews stated at that time that financial estimates pointed to a possible year’s delay in completion of any structure thus indicating that there was time for further consultation with the architect and thus the possibility of redesign.

DES building
bouncil was a normal procedure in the final approval of a building, Matthews said he would set a date with the council for discussion of the DES building. For the user committee, this was the first indication of an outside means of arbitration in their dispute with the DES building and+executive committees. \I In the meantime, a date has finally been set for the first meeting between the user committee and the, architect on the project, Mathers and Haldenby of Toronto. The two will meet march 28. At this time, the ‘user committee will present a report on the status of, the division of environmental studies with respect to a new building. The user committee has been at work on this report since late february. Primarily of interest in the weeks to follow will be the ability of the user committee to keep up the pressure, especially in dealing with the president’s executive council. The user committee, however, has expressed hope that it will not have to take its problem to this outside arbitrator. Behind the scenes, there are some rather unsettling rumours of Dower nolitics effecting students, staff and faculty membeis involved directly or indirectly in the dispute over the DES building proposal. The affair is certainly not over yet.
in sauna
It is true that individual women have gone into the men’s sauna and have been doing so for the past four years ever since the building opened. We feel that the women who are doing so, use the men’s sauna merely because there isn’t one in the women’s locker and shower area. Our group does not consider the desegregation of an exclusively male sauna to be a priority at this point in time, but IF we were going to make an issue of this, it would not be to annoy a small group of men (in this case professors) and a statement of our position and reasons for it would have accompanied any ‘invasion’. Before you print any rash statements you would be wise-to question your sources thoroughly and to contact the group which you are presuming to present to the public. What makes the appearance of the friday editorial so incredible is that thursday, the day the first article appeared, one of our members called the.. Globe office and spoke to someone at the city editor’s desk. At that time, she explained that your article was not true and that no one in our group was involved. The following day the editorial appeared in complete disregard of the thursday phone call. It is obvious to us that you do not understand nor care to understand the most basic points concerning women’s liberation but use it for sensationalistic purposes. A retraction is in order.

What’s Up .Doc
Every now and again, a movie comes along which is promoted and advertised as little more than a device for a couple of popular stars, and actually lives up to its reputation. “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” was such a movie, where Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Catherine Ross hammed it up with the help, of a good script and an able director and produced an immensably likeable piece of escapist entertainment. As long as no one tries to take these kind of things seriously (since no one making them does>, they’re a welcome break from all the “heavy-message” films that are getting all the overdone attention and analysis these days. Peter Bogdonovitch, the man who, made one of those oftenanalysed movies of late-“The Last Picture Show”-has produced a very likeable escapist film called “What’s Up Dot?” (both a reference to a “doctor of music” in the film and a plug for the old Warner Bros. cartoons, which company distributes the film).
Bogdanovitch threw in Ryan ( “Love Story” > O’Niell, Barbra (Funny Girl) Streisand, a mindless but witty plot which could very well have been written for the stage by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, an exciting and welldone chase scene, and some very interesting people in minor roles, and has come up with an engaging comedy. It’s something less than a miracle that Bogdanovitch could overcome all the “device” parts of his film to make an enjoyable whole. The main secret seems to be that he somehow kept his two “superstars” in check. O’Neill and Streisand ham it up a lot, but they never let themselves get carried too far from their parts in the plot. The plot is a loving imitation of l%o’s-4O’s plays and movies, involving a complicated set of in-’ tertwining plots and sub-plots plus a generous sprinkling of mistaken identity and, of course, a contrived device to hold the various plots together-in this case, four plaid bags...
You see, O’Neill plays a musicologist from Ames, Iowa, who takes his drab fiancee to San Francisco, where he is chased after by Streisand, who is a rich girl who has dropped out of nearly every college in North America without getting a degree, yet is a walking encyclopedia of every fact known to man, and they run into an FBI man, a secret agent of sorts and some diamond burglars in the hotel when.. . As, you can tell by now, you’ve probably seen this movie many times in other forms, and the plot is. too unbelievable to relate on paper, butThe “but’: is that, if you enjoy suspending your credibility for these wacky farces, this one is done well enough to make your time worth it. Outstanding among the minor players is Austin Pendleton, who looks and acts unsettlingly like Mel Watkins. Come to think of it, maybe Mel is trying to raise a little Waffle money on the side, and went to Hollywood under an assumed name, and met... No, that’s too unbelievable.

If it could ever be said of any book that it should never have been printed, Philosophy for the new age, would give any other book a _ tough struggle for the prize. Hopefully, its price, $7.50, will insure that even though it has been printed, it will not be read in any other way than with the strictest critical eye one’ can afford any other book of that price. And perhaps this is as much of an over ,reaCtiOn aS the book itself. The author makes many promises he does not fulfill. One of the saddest of these promises occurs on the first page: “Over the tears, through a variety of means, I managed to gradually activate my full mental resources, and employ them in this endeavor and subsequently in the production of The New Revolution. It was a long but fruitful search - which took me into strange places, broad vistas, and obscure byways of thought: The undertaking was similar in some respects to a military campaignwherein I launched an assault against the barriers of life that conceal Its mysteries. In it was the thrust,, later consolidation, entrenchment, etc.” And on he goes, I think he has made some fine promises. I’m all for supporting anyone _ _ _ _ who wants y to undertake such a journey as the one I anticipate -by Markuz.
ends with silence
Anyone who has undergone such a journey might well be able to teach most of us a good deal. Thus it was that I read on with the enthusiasm of someone who dutifully misses mass for his first sunday. It wasn’t that I believed what he was saying - but I was willing to believe him. Then he started to make claims about how similar he was to creative artists, revolutionaries, and religious zealots. Right away, I start to think: He must have some mind’. But before I can, he cuts me off: “Throughout history a small percentage of human beings have used their full mental capacities. Socrates, Plato, Euclid, Hegel, Hume, Newton, Dickens, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Einstein to mention only a few, these men possessed genius. Some used their full abilities, others did not. In my case I did not possess genius,.. . ..” Small wonder, as we soon discover. Needless to say, my faithful foundations in this man’s qualities of percepton could be felt to rumble, as if in the first stages of disintegration. But then I made an amazing discovery: the book is a put-on. (You must understand that I go to almost any lengths. to justify reading a book. > The role certainly fit. So deftly played, there was scarcely a hint or clue that, when understood in this fashion, did not support the put-on theory. It was as if he had just read 200 essays of The Plain Truth, and wanted to print something using their seering depths of analysis.
The book took on a new challenge. Was there this other 1evel;or were these thoughts just part of a continuing pipe dream? One or two times I thought he was going to show me. But then he becomes a humble student abjectly apolbgizing for some obtrusive projection in the classroom. In the midst of this, he begins with his profound insights: “There is good and bad in The New Revolution, just as there is good and bad in life”....“Emerson stated that : ‘Everyone in the world is this marvellous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats.’ This is a good description and composite picture of life on this earth.” . . . . “Many philosophies throughout history have been of a theoretical orientation, and very often limited some concerning a little more than form and substance. Regarding philosophies in general, the types are varied”. It seems that in Markun’s case, insights do not merely come, they flood. So filled with wonder, he hesitatingly immortalizes his thoughts because : “I owe it to the world.” ’ The book just goes on and on, each page pouring out insight after insight. Soon it becomes too much to bear. One begins to long after the good old mysteries he left behind. Better theses than mysteries Markun seems to marvel in. One hopes, in vain I might add, that somewhere this man will begin to recognize his absurdity . In describing Nazi Germany, he says : “Their entire concept- of racial superiority was absurd, and what is worse, was contrary to the very ways of modern civilization. In today’s world, on any sizeable scale, not only Naziism, but any similar system will not succeed.” He later says: “In an economy such as ours, wherein inflation becomes chronic, the government should initiate wage and price controls. Political leaders are usually too cowardly to do this - but this is what should be done. The government already controls our lives in ways more serious than this (and contrary to our best interest ) - so why can’t they initiate a program that would help the entire American people? If some of the large manufacturers, and large labour unions oppose this, that’s too bad. They’ve had their way long enough.” On transcendance he says: “If a transcendence of man would ever be possible, it would have to come, I think, primarily on the mental side.” Of military conscription : “Military conscription should be eliminated, as it is a threat to our very way of life. It undermines and disrupts every aspect of young people’s lives, and is extremely harmful to higher education.” And, with perhaps the most penetrating of his thoughts: “I ,do not intend to ‘do any further writing, although I will remain a philosopher the rest of my life.”

New Heaven, New Earth-revival The novelty of communalism was dying. A folk-rock musical entitled New Heaven, New Earth was presented last week by WLU’s Purple and Gold Revue which revived the them of dommunalism and still managed to be of dramatic interest. Preachy and occasionally powerful, New Heaven, New Earth was a qualified success. Apparently the greatest concern of any commune is the inability to get along with people within the commune. ‘Getting back to Nature’ served only as the circumstance within which sexual conflicts (sometimes outright war) were carried on. Enjoyment of the open country was confined to taking a few deep breaths of air. In fact, the play probably had more to do with sex than with communes. Hod, the owner of the communal farm, is highly suspicious of his wife’s loyalty to him. She in her turn is bitter towards him for his actual infidelity to her. Another woman of the commune, Oonah, is finding her husband a bit boring (He is much older than she.). Still another (Jaala) dominates her husband to his resentment and her own dissatisfaction. Then there is the girl who finds herself taken in (to bed> by Matthew, the guiding light of the commune. All these relationships are smoothed out by the end of, the performance with a lot of dull philosophy (Locke’s and Kant’s and Hippy wisdom) and some fine acting.

Derek Reynold (Matthew) and Deborah Zaharie (Lise) made the kitchen scenes ordinary and comfortable without becoming too often dull. The dull occasions occurred when Derek and Deborah allowed themselves to become too much at ease and almost let the plot go on without them. Kim McGeah (Hod) tended towards slapstick treatment of his character. Hod was too deeply troubled about marital failure to be as superficial as he was when so easily led astray by Charity. His reconciliation with his wife, however, showed a great deal of thought. Heather Dark as Hod’s wife, Penny, gave a uniformly good performance. Penny was a credible and full character -quite evidently in love with Hod.

New Earth Farm, Good Morning World and New Heaven, New Earth were also im-
mediately likable songs and the rhythm section, including an axe and a butter churn, made Work All Day suggest original and innocent diversion. All of the songs for the musical were written by local musicial. Jonathon Kramer. The musical as a whole tended to be too slow. The beginning should have been much snappier especially since the tranquility of the commune had already been felt from watching the drowsy goat for fifteen minutes after- the show was supposed to have begun. The variety of characters, the .good acting and singing, the many scene changes (made easy with a stage wagon’ did offset the general slowness somewhat. With this in mind, I think that the aggressive invitation for the audience to join in at the end of the performance to dance to the theme song was perhaps a bit presumptuous-but maybe only a bit. , New Heaven, New Earth was directed by George Thompson.
Attempts at comic relief succeeded in David Rook’s Vince and Paul Hess’ evertripping Israel. However, Charity (played by Joan Commerford) was a surprisingly monotonous slut. Surely, with all her ‘experience’, she would have been sexier. Some of the songs in the musical were good to listen to and were made even better by the singing. Brona Brown’s voice is strong enough to give otherwise usual lyrics a necessary added dimension of sincerity particularly to Johnny Crane, I Loved You. My Sinful Ways was a fun song sung spiritedly by Bev Morkis:

fusing character. When he first appeared on stage he was engaged in what seemed a genuinely amiable conservation with his wife. Later, he appears in a brothel, a place he visits quite frequently apparently, since all the girls there know him. He excuses his behaviour saying that every man must seek his pleasure but that some have very coarse .ways of going about it. Perhpas the confusion in characterization was the script’s fault; perhaps it was the fault of the actor. Pat has admirable stage mannerisms, grand but often empty (like’ the production) of the soul of his character. Danton, however, was more than a pretence to ‘a noble man. Ken Davis’ Robespierre was an interesting character. Even though a purist he was not self-righteous. Perhaps he might have been but the tragedy of his loneliness, a loneliness brought on because he was sincerely, and, it seemed, vainly, committed to. moral regeneration weighed much more heavily on the mind. For me, Robespierre’s sad soliloquy on his loneliness was one of the best moments in the performance. Lucile was played sympathetically by ‘K.C. (?) Clay. Her singing did not get in the way of her acting too much, nor her acting in the’ way of her singing. Both methods portrayed a very feminine character easily a mate for her sensitive husband. Even in group scenes where she had no lines Miss Clay’s Lucile was a live and feeling individual. Fine performances were also given by Ian Campbell (Barere), Rick Worsnop (Billaud) and Al Dust (the prosecutor 1. However, some very bad ones were also presented at
No one . . . Not even the State . . . Has the right to impose its peculiar madness on anybody else. -Citizens’ song in Danton Danton’s main virtue is its grandeur. In theme, sets and size of cast it is magnificent. Unfortunately, this grandeur is hollow since most of the cast; including some of the leading actors, appeared to have little sympathy with the performance. Danton (Perhaps you remember.) was one of the leading figures of the French Revolution. In the musical he appears to have become disenchanted with the Revolution (tired of politics, as he puts it) and engages in dissipation with selfrighteous indignation at nay-sayers and with sentimental gusto towards prostitutes. His fellow revolutionist, Robespierre, remains a purist in following the original ideals of the Revolution. He sees the Revolution as a chance not only to change the status of the common man but also to change his character (In the play the commoners are quite the brutalized mob.). Therefore, when ’ he ‘sees the decline of Danton and another friend, Camille, he is heartbroken at being suddenly left alone. The masses of people though they still follow him cannot as yet share his zeal for moral reform nor his moral purity. Robespierre continues to work for the Revolution and manages to incite another uprising. In this one Danton, Camille and other men likethem are captures and later sentenced by the Committee for Public Safety to be beheaded at the guillotine. Danton played by Pat Young was a con-
’ critical points in the drama. The orgy in the: bordello failed to be in the least orgiastic! Squealing and tumbling about, what were supposed to be harlots seemed rather to be pixies charged not with sensual excitement’ but with blips from very slow brain waves. The mob scenes were very noisy suggesting the brutalization of the French peasantry but not French peasants. I am disinclined to believe that they spent the Revolution just shouting and pushing each other about. Exits by the mobs were too drawn out baring some of the makings of the performance embarrassingly (I was tempted to laugh in the wrong places. 1. In like manner group movements across the stage front for one of the earliest songs were lacking in sufficient enthusiasm to cover their staging. Background music from an organ, a flute, drums and guitars was appropriate. The organ’s sound seemed to come out of the depths of the earth, richly and lustily suggesting the motives from history for the Revolution. Song lyrics were suited to the singers: simple and catchy tunes for the peasant mob and more thoughtful, less tuneful songs for the disenchanted leaders of the Revolution. Sets were solid (unusual for many university productions) and simple. The gauze curtain covered with a street map of Paris was an original idea, Lifting it up meant (symbolically) lifting away the history and social institutions which come after the Revolution. There is much good drama in Danton and much bad, a mixed bag but worth the price’ gf dmkqion. r,__<*.,^,

Changes in the Ontario student awards program may force some students out of school next year. Starting may 1, administrative alterations will raise the amount of the loan portion of the award from the present ceiling of 600 dollars to 800 d‘ollars. This is a result of the federal government’s move to increase the loan portion to the provinces from 1000 to 1400 dollars under canada student loans. It appears that the provincial government is already phasing in one of the recommendations of the wright commission-that the user pay the burden of education costs; People choosing the residence life-style will have to pay for that privi ledge. Under the new changes, student awards will allow only 30 dollars for room and board per week. At present the university residences charge 1120 dollars for a single room for an eight month term, A maximum of 900 dollars j will be assessed for any studentthe remaining 200 dollars to be picked up by the student in the form of less money for books and other essentials or a loan which will add to an already high financial burden. People living in married student residences will be affected in the reduced monies they have ‘for bbard. A single ,bedroom apartment rents for 130 per month or 1040 for an eight month term. Maybe the option is for students to live in co-op or off-campus where they- would benefit from lower costs. Certain technical changes in the processing will allow reviews to short circuit the main system and make for shorter review times. Also students whose parents are self-employed will get better treatment inturqaround time. This year some students waited three months for their initial assessment. Transportation allowance will be 2.50 per week for persons living within ten miles from a campus
and 5 dollars for persons living beyond that. Field trips will’ be covered on a loan ‘basis up to 200 dollars if students can provide a letter of support from their department showing that the field trip is part of the course curriculum. Students of p+Tents wifh landed immigrant status will be equalized with Ontario students in one respect. <If their parents move out of the country, the student will receive aid under the canada student loan agreement with no grant portion as is the case with Ontario students now. If people choose to work on opportunities for youth projects this summer, they may not be able to save what the program requires of them, thereby cutting their chances of obtaining more funds. For example, if a student saves 300 dollars over the summer but OSAP requires that he save 500, he may get an award but it will be in the-form of a loan. Marital and seperation status will be considered if prior to the first day of the month in which classes begin. At present students can get a legal document stating that they are seperated and obtain single status in order to’ apply for mdre aid. ’ A student married and receiving awards whose spouse is not a student and not working will be assessed 400 dollars less than if the spouse was working or a student. Students will have to justify use of their <automobiles and the equity ._ of-the car will be deducted from the total award. Students, owning cars worth more than 3000 dollars will have the excess of 3000 deducted from their award.

he,
and ccmudu has a part I have recently heard of the campaign against war research at the University of Waterloo and at other universities of Canada. As I am a Vietnamese, it needs not to say that this campaign represents immense interest and hope for me. I seize this occasion to bring you some additional information about the barbarous air war the Nixon government is imposing on the people of Indochina who are struggling for their liberty and dignity. Let us listen to the complaint of a Laotian woman from Plain of Jars: “The roar of the bombs and the noise of the planes frightened me terribly. Our life became like one of animals who search to escape the butchers. Each day, across the forests and ditches, we sought only to escape from the bombs. When looking at the face of my innocent child, I could not stop crying for his future. Why do the men in this world not love each other, not live together in peace, not build happiness in development and progress? Human beings whose parents cherished them, died from the explosion of the bombs. Who then thinks about the affection and love their parents left for them? As for the other men, do they know all the atrocities which can happen here in this war?” -from essay by 35-year-old woman refugee from Plain of Jars.
From where come the planes, from where come the bombs that made the poor woman so frightened and for herself and for her innocent child? They are US planes, they are US bombs. The pilots are Americans who come from across the ocean, more than 10,000 miles away from her home. And as far as she can recall, her innocent child and herself have done nothing wrong neither to these pilots nor to their country. Here is a description by an American journalist, of the Plain of Jars and surrounding regions several years ago, before the bombardment: “. .They are composed of 3-4000 tiny villages, each consisting of a few dozen bamboo homes, a pagoda, rice storehouses, a few hundred head of water buffalo, cows, pigs, chickens, and ducks, and inhabited by some of the poorest, most gentle, rice farmers in Southeast Asia.” , Since then, after that the hypocrite ‘pacification’ program of the US government had failed to give them control on the local population (the usually all powerful US dollar had no effect on the local population 1, these tiny and peaceful villages, considered therefore by U,S government (using imperialist logic 1 as potential infrastructure for communist forces, was erased from the map by massive bombing : “Each millions aircrafts
day of the last several years, hundreds of of dollars of the world’s most sophisicated have been hovering over these villages: OlE, 02 and OVlO spotter planes at 2000 feet; AlE, A26, T26 prop bombers, AC47, AC54, AC119, AC130 gunships, flare ships rescue and gunship helicopters at 5000 feet; F4, FlOO, F105, A7, B57 jet bombers, jet reconnaissances, EC47 and EC119 electronic aircrafts at 10000; KC135 super-tankers at 20000; B52s at 30000; EC130 command and control aircraft at 35000 ; and SR71 reconnaissance aircraft at 70000feet. Giant computers, seismic and acoustic sensors, infrared devices, and ANAPQlO8 radar (designed to see through trees) have been tracking squat soviet built trucks or farmers trying to grow rice at night; laser guided bombs and TV guided missles have been loosed on buffalo, trucks, rice storehouses, homes and peasants alike. More than two million i
tons of ordnance-have spent.”
been dropped,
$5-10 billion
The tiny laos has received so far a smuch bombs as Europe and Pacific had received during the second World War. But till now little is known to the public in America about these atrocities. The reason is that, in the same way as the Nazi had tried to keep secrey their monstrous crimes at Dachau, Auschwitz, the US gov.ernment is trying to keep under silence their monstrous genocide in Indochina. The means used by the US government to divert the public attention was most skillful, for example each of the various Apollo spacecraft launches or announce of the Nixon trip to China has coincided with barbarous air raids in Indochina. Let us wait for the next Apollo launch and see. Air war is the new strategy of the Nixon government. The shift to air war means that the halfmillion-ground-group strategy has been defeated by Indochina peoples as well as by public opinion in America. The much publicized pulling-out of US troops from Vietnam does not mean, therefore, a step toward peace by the Nixon government as they are claiming. It serves rather to divert the public attention-from the increase of the barbarous air war. The same thing can be said about the vietnamization program : the Nixon governemnt never really relies on this program, because they know that the Saigon Administration will be overthrown overnight by popular forces if they were not backed by massive military and economic assistance from the US government:
ENGINEERS Civil, Electrical and Mechanical engineering graduates are needed to fill vacancies in Aerospace, Maritime and Military Engineering. For further information, call or visit Canadian Forces Recruiting and Selection Unit Federal Building Duke Street, Room 218 Kitchener Noon to 4:30, Thursdays
“In any case, we risk Vietnamization because we do not have to rely on it. We rely on the bombs. Domestic pressures generated by the ground war have also played a part in the shift to air. The Vietnam ground war costs more in money and in lives. The American people will not continue to pay the price that has already come to $100 billion spent, 50,000 dead, 3000,000 wounded-nor will the troops, who are now in grassy-headed revolt. ’ The air war, however, provides few such problems. Although its cost is considerable, probably over $10 billion annually, much of the money used for upkeep of air bases and development of new aerial technology would be spent even without the air war.”
The Nixon government is trying to remedy the lack of motivation of the US soldier by superior technology: now the air plane pilots have almost nothing to do but press on some buttons when they are ordered to. Target acquisition is computerized, the bombs will be released automatically when the plane approach the target. In my opinion 1 say that US-military research projects in Canadian universities such as: Fundamental Processes in Solid Propellant Ignition (University of Waterloo), Very High Altitude Missile and Decoy Gas Dynamic (University of Toronto), Assessment of Military Enhancement by Drugs (McGill University, Montreal) among others, they too, have their share of blood in the actual air war. . But I am not saying that there was premeditation from these scientists and researchers. Perhaps, they too, like the poor Laotian woman, are parents of a child they cherish above all other things. So we can b.e certain that, like all peace-loving and freedom-loving people in the world, they will understand and bring relief to the fears and the pains of the poor Laotian woman. -B.N.

In &, essay written last year, Newton described the situation the black panther party found itself in. “Our hook-up with white rad,icals did not give-us access to the white community, because they do, not guide the white .community. The black community does not relate to them, so we we.re left in a twilight.zone, where we could not enter the community with any real political education programs; yet we were doing nothing to mobilize whites. We had no influence in raising -the consciousness of the black’community, and that is the point where we defected.” It was at this point, towards the end of 1?70, that Newton began a, campaign within the panther ‘central committee to return the party to its “original vision” of Media distortion organizing and mobilizing people by serving their needs, raising their ‘political - conThe panther i.Gge at the-time wasone of sciousness, and defending them from a paramilitary oiganization organizing itself oppressors, from armed polices to capitalist for an armed struggle against the “racist exploiters, ” The mass media ranpig power structure.

T WOULD HAVE’been much more favorable to the movement if the DA-had tried the case .for a fourth time,” H_uey Newton told me. It was just two weeks after Oakland, California’s District Attorney Lowell Jensen, the man who tried to send him to the gas chamber in 1968; ‘had asked an Alameda- county judge to dismiss manslaughter charges against the, panther leader, after his, third trial. had. resulted in a hung jury. “We were ap-Z broaching a situation_ and a set of conditibns for the kind of mobilization we had ’ in 1968,” Newton continued. “Everything was set. There were a number of organizations, including the most conservative ones, th& churches, KDIA (a ’ black-oriented radio station) that were.set to start mobilizing people. But ;the DA was smarter than that.‘” Newton sounded “He ’ uriderstands that disappointed. conditions change.

Did :he consider two successive hung’ juries follow&d by a dismissal of the charges a victory? “It’s oneof.the small battles won.

Early ‘in 1971’ Newton was apparently able to convince?htiefitraI committee to -steer the party in-the direction, he wanted to see it go, towards building a base, and organizing the black community through ; the iyplem,entation of such“suyvival prigrams” as free health clinics, free food and clothing distribution, a free busing service to prisons, _ sickle cell anemia 4est>ing, a free amtbulance service, liberation schools and ;j pest control program, while the ,free breakfast .-program. i continuing The decision to move in this direction is at’the core of the political disagreement between ‘the panthers and their former minister of infbrmation, Eldridge Cleaver. Cleaver, those around %im in Algiers, and those who support hit% in the U.S. feel that the time for “armed struggle” is here, and that the masses m&tie led by exhortation and example. They view the panther move into the community organizing work as “i%formist and revisionist”and. an itidication that the party has given up its‘ beliif in armed struggle. I -~ ’

Newton, chairman Bobby Seale, and the party member’s now manning the 38 panther chapters and branches across the . country, feel differently. Scale. views it as * very significant that the black community in Chicago only pulled out its guns to defend -the panther office there after the party had _ set up a free breakfast pT?gram that was feeding 3000 school children each morning,. The first-two times the Chicago police attacked the office,- there was verbal but ho physical response from thee community. By the-time the third attack came, the breakfast program was functioning, and the commucity helped the panthers drive the police ov. “The community could see its self-interest threatened -that third time,” -Scale explained. . ‘ Nevertheless, the panthe& .I now 06viously believe that the mass of black and third world people iti this country, to say nothing of the-masses of white americans, are not yet ready to “pick up the gun” in a revolutionary armed struggle, as they have been exhorted to do for the past fouk or five years. “The super-revolutionaries have been talking about building an army,” Newton observed, “but _before you can build tin army, you’ve got to get the people together. Ydu have to habe some sort of spark to Set the prairie fire. The programs are the spark. The people are the fire, Newton iaid that once the-party has the ability to tiobilizeipeopleT it &ill begin to “move” on specific- issues. “It might be : _ Attica that we ‘decide, to move on,! rather than sickle dell an&%+‘,” because one of the many, purposes’ df -the programs ,is to “get people to-%ppreciate you and to appreciate your analysis of the social situation.” He confidently predicted that the panthers within the. next six months would be able to mobilize between five and . ten thousandpeople in Oakland on an . hour’s notice, “and they won’t be students either, they’ll be. cdmmunity people,” The panthers seemed, undisturbed by &iticisms coming from Algiers and from wh.ite radicals in this country that the survival programs are reformist. “Ih -and of themselves you could say they are reformist,” Newton said, - “but they are-organizing tools, part oj a strategyto bring people together, and mobilice them. A lot of people said patrolling the police was refbrmist when we b&gin to do it, ,and itwould have been if w’e thought it was an end in, itself, but I saw it as part of a strategy to recruit -people and draw .attention to the party.” \,

Other &&her critics c&t&d that ‘the’ panthers insist that Oakland is almdst last in the number and size of its programs. They p$nt to Chicago and Boston as places
where the programs are really functioning well-. Seale recalls-the time just recently when he spoke in Chicago at a time when the chapter there was distributing 5000 bags 0-f free groceries, “with a chicken in every bag,” and enough food to last a’family - of four or five for three or four days. Other chapters distribute food panther periodically in this manner, but’on a smaller .._

The Quagger stirred, everyonecaught their breath, camera leases zoomed in; but no, a false alarm a sigh fell over the crowd: too bad; but wait,

A day slashed’ with blinding white sunlight, when I followed you in your search for bamboo. The shoots with the straightest, proudest limbs you sculptured into flutes. It was difficult passing through the- strongly entwined arms of the roots, branches and brush: For they were in orchestra together. The flute-maker and I spoke with different tongues We came from different worlds. But we touched.: and thus the aching, breath-taking strains of his flute Gently gathered me up inside of the reed Transforming me into his liquid music. .
When he gazed upon me, his eyes grew. I froze in fear because I felt him too strongly. but he was incapable of releasing me-and I couldn’t turn away For I was inside of his eyes. Yet we shall never again meet. What we had we cut-like so many bamboo branches; And yet unlike any bamboo branch. For of us there will flow ‘something eternal. Forever the music of the flute will endure--So shall you., .Forever shall the golden threads of the sun continue So shallmy hair always bethose threads.

scale, but the party calculates that it has given away 20,000 bags of groceries nationally, as part of its “Angela Davis people’s free food program.” . Seale sees the programs as educational as well as serving practical community needs, because “we teach the people a very stricb line of demarcation between the politics of the community and the bulicrap of the politicians who are supposed to represent them.” He feels that the power structure will eventually attack the political leadership that is setting up the programs, or will attack the very programs themselves. , “They’re going to have to come down and arrest the bags of free food, they’re going to have to arrest the factory that makes the free shoes, they’re going to have to arrest our free medical clinics, they’re going to have to arrest our free busing program, etc. And that’s a contradiction between the people in the community and the police department. At some point or another, the people can actually choose to defend that food and those clinics that they know they have a right to as decent human beings.” Another aspect of the “survival programs” is that they have drawn a good many community people into them. “The community people help us give away the food, and they help us expropriate it from the capitalist system,” Seale said, the nearly two years he spent in various jails having dimmed none of his enthusiasm. “We are now training community people to do sickle cell anemia testing. The people themselves have become very involved, helping to run these programs. Now they have something to defend, because they have become organized around their class interests.” At the David Hilliard people’s free shoe factory, located in downtown Oakland, there were three men working as Seale stepped in to see how things were going. The mechanic fixing up the machinery was a party member, but his helper and the mechanical engineer who had supervised the rebuilding of the equipment were both “community \Norkers” donating whatever free time they had to the program. Another community worker, who had experience in making shoes, was due in the next day to get the machinery properly mounted so production could begin early in 1972. Although the panthers have \already given away 3000 pairs of new shoes, they hoped that the factory would produce enough to provide 500 families every month with everything from work shoes to boots to tennis shoes. Other chapters are planning to open shoe factories also. In another part of Oakland, a panther clothing factory was just getting into operation, one that would produce dresses, leather jackets and slacks, inaddition to the clothes the party has been able to collect from other sources and has already given away. “We tell the people that the politicians promise them
In a striking reversal to the public image that the Black Panthers possess due to the efforts of the popular press, Panther leader Huey Newton, said that “whites were still not really serious about organizing their own communities but if they were, the panther party was still interested in coalitions with groups working seriously to organize and mobilize people”. Bobby Sea/e and Huey Newton outside panther headquarters. . things and lie, but that we actually produce,” Seale said proudly, “but we are only a vehicle for the people.”
Sick call disease Seale also noted that, although various government agencies have been doing a lot of talking about sickle cell anemia lately, the black panther party has already test-ed 20,000 people for the disease, and is sponsoring research, under a national advisory - board of doctors, on how to combat it, as no cure for it presently exists. Technicians working with the panthersponsored sickle cell disease research foundation have come up with a slide elution method of testing that reduces the cost to a little over one cent per test. The panthers do not view any of the 13 medical clinics they have set up as replacements for hospitals. “We are doing work in preventive medicine that the hospitals ought to be doing themselves,” Seale points out. “The hospitals wait for people to get sick and come to them. We try and get there before people get sick so they don’t need a hospital.” The panthers are not interested in a large network of clinics in any one place. They are seeking to expand the mobile clinic program now being run in Boston to other cities, so that preventive medicine is taken directly to the people, and each small community can be checked out three or four times a year. Newton is quite emphatic in stating that the survival programs are not to be seen as “counter-institutions” as white radicals view their free clinics, food conspiracies, and communes. He views these as attempts to run away from, instead of combatting and heightening, the contradictions within establishment institutions. “With the state of technology and communications today, you can’t run away.” Newton pointed out, and then asked, “How can you avoid them when China, Vietnam and Africa haven’t been able to avoid them?” The survival programs are aimed at tapping the “internal contradictions” of the american system. Most of the food and supplies used by the panthers in their programs are donated by businessmen in the black community. In recent months, the panthers have focused on black businessmen. This new approach was signalled by an essay in the panther paper by Newton entitled “Black capitalism
rea na lyzed.” White radicals turned away from the panthers in even greater numbers after this essay, and one by Father Earl Neil on the church’s role in the revolution, appeared. “But the black capitalists ate it said, explaining that the UP,” Newton businessmen were donating to a party that is against business in the first place, and aiming at negating businessmen. “He (the black businessman) is a contradiction himself, and we’re trying to raise his consciousness. If he stops giving, he loses *business because we boycott him, and if he gets in trouble with the bank because he donates to us, then he’s got to make a choice. If he says ‘fuck it’ to the bank, then he gets more support and more business and that drives him further into the people’s corner.” Most of the work has been done very quietly, both the mass media and the underground press finding little excitement in this patient, unspectacular every-day work, but as Seale commented, “We’ve gotten to the point where we don’t want to talk about jive no more, or try to unify people around poems and poetry. We’re bringing people together around their own class interest.” This was reminiscent of what Newton said in march 1971, just after announcing ‘he would make no more statements about the party’s disagreements with Cleaver. “Don’t judge us by what we say,” he said. “Judge us by what we do.”
.
Armed
struggle
,
None of this means the panthers have given up their belief in armed struggle. “Armed struggle is still my belief, and it will always be,” Newton said in closing, “We have to get it to that point. We’re building and organizing an army to finally get people to the point where we’ll fight, because we believe that the only way we will resolve the final contradiction is through armed struggle.” Newton said this in a quiet, firm way, rather than the more rhetorical style which panther leaders have used in the past. Newton and Seale both stressed that they were “dialectical materialists,” interested in moving, “scientifically” heightening the contradictions, and getting away from what they called the old “either-or positions” (either you’re a part of the solution or part of the problem, or either you’re with us or against us) which they feel have alienated many community people from the party, and allowed some party members to treat people arrogantly. Newton said that the panther party welcomed criticism if it was constructive and. suggested to those who felt that the party was not doing a good job to “lead the people and we’ll follow. There’s. still no one to lay claim to the vanguard role.” He said he was particularly happy to hear criticism coming from white radicals because it was an indication that they have lost their hero. “People who need heroes, need heroes because they are lacking something themselves. You project onto your hero your ideals, and if he fails, you can be very angry with him, but you’re not held resp,onsible for doing any action yourself.” Hesaid he felt that whites were still not really serious about organizing their own communities, but if they were, the panther party was still interested in coalitions with groups working seriously to organize and mobilize people. \

Staff. vs student’s of Westmount WINNIPEG (CUP)-The university of Winnipeg Student Council has officially ratified council president Marilou McPhedran’s decision to remove Uniter editor, Tom Borowski, from the university student newspa-per. In a closed meeting monday evening (feb. 28), the council voted 9-l for ratification with one abstention from the lone Borowski supporter. Earlier in the day, Borowski had been unofficially fired and the Uniter trailer padlocked. But in an authorized referendum conducted by the student council,U of W students voted by a 3-2 majority for Borowski’s reinstatement. ‘An earlier referendum was declared unofficial because it was on the same ballot as the council elections. Activity reached a peak monday ) with the distribution of two Uniters on ’ campus, a “Uniter Special” put out by the student council, and a renegade “Uniter 13” published by the original Uniter staff clandestinely from the offices of the Manitoban at the neighbouring university of Manitoba. The coun-cil “Special”, financed through the paper’s budget claimed the legal and constitutional right to fire Borowski and then went into an “impartial” attack on his actions. One of the things it charged Borowski with was his “financial mismanagement” of the Uniter, but according to associate editor Ian Grant the budget is handled through the student council so any mismanagement of funds was the responsibility of the council treasurer. The Uniter staff is also charging the council with falsifying its financial report by publishing yearly payrolls as $15,000 when the official receipts add up to nearly $25,000. About ten out of every student’s thirty’dollar union fee goes for student association salary expenditures. Grant also said that impeachment of the council is the main goal from now on and that the Uniter will continue publishing without student association support. The present crisis is apparently another in a continuing series of disagreements between the Uniter and the Council, more particularly between Borowski and, McPhedran, whom Borowski characterized as “a petty high _ school mentality bureaucrat intent on exploiting her position for her

Edmonton EDMONTON (CUP)-The university of Alberta student council monday night (feb. 28) overwhelmingly approved the formation of a committee to make recommendations on, future procedures to be followed in the selection of the editor. of the student newspaper, the Gateway. If the committee finds it necessary, the present Gateway. strike and its resolution will also be examined. The committee will be composed of five persons-the university ombudsman, the provost of the university, a member of student council, a member of the council executive (in this case president Don McKenzie) and the editor of the Edmonton Journal or his designate. The decision to strike the committee followed a motion of of Council’s reconsideration decision to hire Terri Jackson as Gateway editor for next year despite a Gateway staff election which chose long-time staffer Ron Yakimchuk. The re-consideration motion was ruled out of order on the grounds that “the Gateway editor has to be selected by February fifteenth”. The original decision to hire Jackson was made feb. 14. The newspaper staff struck in protest, refusing to produce the regular paper and instead putting out strike issues without council funding. At a meeting tuesday (feb. 29), the Gateway staff voted to end the strike pending the outcome of the committee’s deliberations. The committee will report back to council monday (mar. 6). The council has not bound itself to accept the committee’s srecommendations.

Sailing With the snow getting sloppy outside, and lake Columbia about to be filled with HZ0 good news comes out of Kingston and the annual Canadian Intercollegiate Sailing Association meeting. Sailing has been recognized as the first truely co-cd varsity sport by the CIAU in‘which men will be competing against women on an equal basis. Also next fall’s racing schedule has been expanded to include eleven Canadian regattas-one as early as mid-May. The Ontario Championships will take place at Ontario Place in the fall and is being run by Sail Ontario. The CICSA also hope to attain district status with the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Union this summer so members would be able to qualify for the North American championships. This comes none too soon as the sailing within the university scene is catching on like wildfire. Last year Queen’s university won the Wayne State regatta, and the UBC club is one of the strongest teams along the west coast. Unfortunately the Waterioo team will be short of funds next fall (like many other teams no doubt) but it still hopes to send their strong-team to as many regattas in Canada and the U.S. as possible.

The university of Toronto’s hockey machine took the CIAU championships in Sherbrooke last weekend for the fourth year in a row. John Wright, who was named the tournament’s most valuable player, lead the Blues to a 5-6 romp over the St. Mary’s Huskies. Only about 1,500 people witnessed the final contest. St. Mary’s has been in the finals for the past three years and each time faced the blue machine. Allstar goalie from the down east club, Chuck Goddard best summed up the defeats by saying “The first year 1970 when they beat us 3-2 in Charlottetown we felt we didn’t get the breaks. The second year, we felt we had them and they escaped from us.” Toronto won 54 over St. Mary’s in Sudbury, last year with three goals in the third period to come back from a 4-2 disadvantage. “This year,” Goddard went on, “they beat us.” Goddard faced 41 shots and the score could have been even more lopsided. Earlier in the tourney Sir George Williams took it on the chin 5-l from the Blues.
Quebec’s gyms While still on the topic of sports from Quebec it comes with little surprise that the second of our big athletic facilities in the province will be constructed at the University of Sherbrooke beginning this spring. First wind, of the big development came when this writer was in Lava1 for the CIAU swimming championships. The Lava1 complex cost 8 millious and is just a gem of a sports palace. The Sherbrooke one will no doubt be very similar. Word has it that the following will be included: a double gymnasium’ handball courts, squash courts, rooms for fencing and bodycontact activities such as wrestling and judo; weight lifting and physicalconditioning rooms ; a field house that can be converted into a gymnasium; tennis courts; and a six-lane, 50 meter Olympic pool. Outside there will be a 408 meter, eight-lane track, regulation soccer and football fields; tennis courts; and two softball fields. The facility is to cost $5.4 million of which the province is kicking in $2.5. At the Lava1 complex, which is just a year old, there are three indoor tartan tennis courts and a 5 lane track plus jumping pits for field events in the massive field house. This alone puts any other complex in Canada to shame. Beside this they have three levels of gyms-underneath each other. This includes a special volleyball gym, and a gymnastics gym with all equipment left in position. The pool which if 50 meters also has diving facilities from one metre to the Olympic standard 10 meter tower. This kind of puts Ontario’s facilities to shame. Only last month the first 50 meter indoor pool became operational; this at Laurentian. Before this time all of Ontario’s divers had to commute to either Montreal or Winnipeg to continue their training in the winter months. There was another interesting side light about the Lava1 athletic department. Last year it took them exactly ten minutes to decide to throw hockey out of the intercollegiate competition. The reason, it was costing too much

The students backed the idea, and not only that but voted to increase their athletic fees from $6 to $35 in one jump. The result is that the Lava1 students now have some of the finest sports facilities ‘in the country at their use at all times. With their indoor tennis courts and diving facilities, just to name two things, it is likely to stimulate a great deal of interest, and in time help produce top athletes. As far as the hockey goes, the government. is putting money towards the construction of a good size rink adjacent the rest of the sports complex and no doubt intercollegiate hockey will return to Lava1 in a year or so-but with a lot less strain on the athletic budget.

Olympic boycott Suzie Chaffee, a former 25 year old Olympic skier who was at Sapporo last month petitioning athletes, officials, and press about the Olympics is calling for a boycott of the upcoming summer Olympics to go in Munich this September. Miss Chaffee also wants to reconstruct and democratise the IOC. She researched her subject in Greece, spending her savings from a career as a model and clothes designer, and among the ten points there are demands for open competition, a more democratic organization with athletes having one third of the voting power, the substitution of works of art for medals (winners would be allowed toreceive cash) and “the revival of the Greek translation of Olympics, meaning peace, and the participating nations calling .. a ceasefire on all wars and acts of aggression. At the games she tore into Avery Brundage who, whe believes, has been compromising world athletes for two decades and forced her to perjure herself at the 1968 Olympic games s “Brundage, ” she said “forces on athletes his Victorian ethics of amateurism, a financial discrimatory mechanism for keeping the lower working classes out of - sports which were benevolently reserved for the aristocracy. As a result athletes who are not independently wealthy have to beg and those who protest against begging accepted underthe-table subsidisation.” When she met Brundage he told her she should send her medals back. She said she hadn’t won one. At Sapporo it was evidently a Texas standoff between Chaffee and Brundage and the liklelihood of a-Munich boycott is nil, or next to it. Good luck Suzie. -. The federal government is giving $266,000 to the Indian Associations of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to further sports within the three provinces. Of the above amount INSPOL, a provincial agency responsible for the development of sports and recreation programs in Alberta, will get $51,000. Word has it from the OUAA that there will be a new alignment in the football leagues next year with Laurentian dropping out. At any rate who ever the Warriors opponents are, it won’t be any easier to win.

‘Top jock’ award S to Roorda, Lann iste
\
Phil Branston was named top hockey k honors by his team-mates in what has been repeatedly termed ‘a rebuilding season’ for the pucksters. Branston sparked the warrior defensive unit and earned himself a position on the OUAA western section all-stars. Dan Anderson took two major awards in his graduating year, for MVP of the cross country squad and also the McCormick award for making the ‘greatest contribution to the intramural program’. Dan also competed on the track and field team where he performed the grinding distance duties of the 10,000 meters. Quarterback Chuck Wakefield claimed the football honor, the presentation follows the footballing announcement last fall.
Classmates Jan Roorda and Jaan Lanniste took ‘top jock’ honors at Wednesday’s award presentation-pub. Both athletes are in the graduating kinesiology class, and have logged five years each on intercollegiate teams. Miss Roorda was a member of the, varsity track and field team competing in the middle distances and on the mile relay team. She represented that team for four years but missed last season when the track athenas won the OUAA championship. Volleyball was her ‘first sport’ and this year Jan was named the ‘most valuable player’ of that squad. She was a member of several championship teams and participated in the national collegiate championships last year in Calgary. She also spent some vital weeks at the national training camp last summer.

Doug Lorriman and Judy Abbots took the two top swimming awards. Judy was the swimmin’ women’s team captain this year and along with two other athenas made it to the CIAU national championships in Fredericton. This was the second year in a row she had made the nationals and while in New Brunswick . broke three team records. Doug on the other hand was a Warrior co-captain and a team leader in and out of the pool. This season Doug was swimming the fastest times of his life but unfortunately the CIAU eligibility rule caught up with him. Next year he will have to confine his efforts in the water to the polo squad. While St. Jeromes was taking the two team trophies home, one of their members was presented with the Judson Whiteside award for his skill and one helluva lot of participation in the intramural program (Jockshorts has more on this). ’ What was supposed to be a ‘short and sweet’ affair dragged after sixty minutes then continued for another hour. The university brass was represented by past president Hagey and present administration president Burt Matthews who said among other things ‘.. .you’re all winners, in way or another’.
‘Broke all records’ Lanniste also is graduating in kinesiology this spring and was voted the ‘most valuable player’ on the basketball squad. In presenting the ‘top male jock’ award, Director-of-athletics, Carl Totzke mentioned that the decision was apparent and added that Lanniste had ‘broken every basketball record at Waterloo’, among, them: most points in a single game, 42; most field goals in a single game, 18; most foul shots in a single game, 13; most points in a single season, 688; most career points as a warrior, 2,300. Totzke also mentioned Jaan’s scoring championship for three consecutive OUAA seasons. Lanniste was also selected to the second team of Canadian college all-stars. As an added honor, Lanniste’s uniform, number 11, was retired.
,Wrestlers tops Although the top-jock awards highlited the evening, the wrestling warriors took all the high-calibre recognition. The squad ‘won the OUAA championship ( and took three first places at the CIAU tournament. They also placed three members on the Olympic roster for this summer’s training camp. Coach Kurt Boese presented Pat Bolger with the MVP award, Boese was named Canadian Olympic coach earlier this year. This is the third year Bolger has been voted the award by his team-mates. Last year he also received the Totzke ‘top-jock’ trophy.
Loretta
McKenzie
The women’s basketball award went to a freshman-little Loretta McKenzie. Although possessing deadliest twohanded set shot in the league, little Loretta qualified for the tribute by exhibiting team leadership and comic relief. Her surprise at receiving the award prompted a remark unprintable in the people’s chevron but was uttered within earshot of the university’s past president. Another national team member, George Neeland, received a MVP award. He competed with the OUAA championship track and field team and is the Canadian record holder. in his hurdle event. George represented Canada on many travelling with Bolger and occasions, other nationals to Cali, Columbia last summer. Both Neeland and Bolger are Olympic hopefuls this year and will again represent Waterloo next season (marks willing).
The university sport community witnessed with incredulity last tuesday night, the confirmation once again of a majorminor sport division on this campus. The university of Waterloo’s wrestling team has brought to this campus a respect and tradition known throughout the country. At tuesday’s award presentations the group was recognized for winning the conference title as well as three national individual weight classes. Back in Waterloo hotiever, . these achievements are unrecognizable among the din and uproar of the so-called ‘major’ sports; the emotion seems to have invaded the minds of the selection committee. Last we&end, three wrestlers were chosen to be a part of Canada’s Olympic development program after winning national open titles. It is anticipated that at least one, (and possibly all) of these superi’or athletes ~$1 represent Canad.a in Munich z~~~L’,~~~~~~,.-’ ~~~~~pic.,:histqry doesn’t h&e to be re-traced to indi,cate the honor associated with the opening ceremonies as a young competitor parades with the best sportsmen in the wor Id. With excellence, sportsmanship dedication and leadership cited as the reasons, the captain of the team last year award this received the top athletic university bestows. ’ This season he duplicated his successes which included a- national title, coming after a bronze medal in the pan-american games,. , ’ The in*evitab!e question, which came to ‘our mind on wednesday morning was ‘how much better: must a ‘minor’ spbrt.$ompetitor be in order to be considered equal to a participant in the ‘major’ sport activities on this campus?’ The pursuit of excellence is a concept well understood by many coaches of olympic-calibre athletes’ but the university of Waterloo seems to have too few of these individuals to know what the term implies‘ ’ I A member of western Ontario university’s coaching staff is retiring this year after a frustrating battle with nonsympathetic decision-makers. In a letter to the athletic director of that institution, he echoes our sentiments’:
laan
Lanniste

the
Totzke
trophy
“The idea that we have a well rounded athletic program is a farce!‘, and ’ recognizing the need for the pursuit of
excellence added, “there is no commitment...to provide the opportunity for an aspiring athlete to reach his or her _potential”. The athletic award presentations presented this university the unique opportunity of bestowing on their excellent athletes the community’s top awards, but failed dismally when two opportunities were blatantly evident. With the inception of a new award to honor a coach, administrator’ &IL, we anticipated some recognition of Kurt Boese’s efforts and his coaching ability in shaping the warriors, peaking the athletes for the, upcoming Olympiad. Again, the pursuit of excellence was bypassed in preference of other standards. While the first award seemed based on sheer emotion, the second lost ground to what appears to be ‘political expediency’. Attempts at an explanation for the - sele.ctipns of the com@ttee have fallen : -,,,*ort;& ly;itionaf ’ “‘Ttie ‘graduating&dent concept was abandoned last year in favour of what then appeared to be a more realistic appraisal of excellence and there is no doubt of leadership qualities (that was a leading factor in the award last year)...what then prompted a return to the glorious days of ‘ye good old alma mater’ etc? One good possibility is the exhuming of a not-too-deeply buried trend of thought which divides sport into categories of ‘major’ and ‘minor’. Four years hence, this country will host the Olympic games and to relieve our; ‘. selves of this myopia, we should attempt -“Go assume a more cosmic view of sport and excellence, awarding the deserving athletes accordingly. The very concept of ‘top individual’ serves to alienate all but one, and should - be abandoned in favor of an award recognizing excellence, presented to more than one deserving individual. This would relieve the pressure from the shoulders of a sort-sighted group attempting to determine where leadership and athletic excellence Iie. Maybe in this context, the emotion. attached to the ‘major’ sports on this campus will be discarded and someday they will parallel those of the ‘minor’ sportsmen. This year’s selection committee proved incompetent at discerning the difference.

Green. After being with the wrestlirig team for three years as manager, Norm Green is graduating from the university and here reports his final trip with the Waterloo wrestlers. This article written by Norm is a tribute to their athletic ability and friendship. When five members and the coach of the warriors wrestling team travelled to the Canadian openOlympic trials meet in Newfoundland last weekend this sport reached its pinnacle of success. The university wrestlers set a Canadian reocrd of sorts while in St. Johns. It was the very first time a university has ever had four team members place in the top four of separate weight classes in open competition ; and on top of this-win three gold medals. This accomplishment alone verifies what has already been known; the university of Waterloo is the centre of wrestling in Canada. Perhaps now, before the Olympic camp we can give credit to six outstanding members of the championship team c
Big little man John Barry is a small man. At 123 lbs, he is hardly more than a taunt piece, of skin pulled across a very thin frame. John however, has something that epitomizes an athlete of international calibre. This something is the will to win and the ability to overcome all hardships to achieve that victory. His hardships are centred primarily on dieting but others, are perhaps the weaknesses of all men. The constant challenge of life is met in wrestling on the mat. The strength and ability of one man pitted against that of another. The self doubt, the feeling of defeat have all been felt by John but never has he let those come in his way of success. The challenge is presented and John faces it squarely. Having represented Canada in the Pan American games and having been voted by the coaches of this years OUAA meet as the outstanding wrestler John has proven that he can defeat self doubt, and that he can draw all his abilities into the single task of winning.
Don Spink and Tim Wenzel only just begun the ladder to victory. Don, fighting in a weight class that included 24 competitors was eliminated in the third round. Don will have to satisfied with his second place in the CIAU championships, but only in his second year at Waterloo he will be back. Tim Wenzal in only his initial year of intercollegiate competiton placed a remarkable fourth in the same weight class which John Barry won. Tim in fact tied John in the fifth round and lost out for third position by one half of a point. Tim’s out: standing abilities have been recognized and thereis every possibility that he will’be invited to the Olympic camp.

Our Olympic coach Always left to last in any article is the coach but in the eyes of the Olympic selection committee Kurt Boese was chosen first. It is a great honour to the university of Waterloo that its coach should be so chosen. For Kurt this is the ultimate reward for thirt$-three ’ years of involvement in wrestling. Kurt first competed in Germany and then moved to Canada where he was five time Canadian champion and now has been coaching for a number of years. Recognition to this man for his unique abilities both in wrestling and in the. social life of this city are long overdue. Kurt has worked through his medium wrestling to reach boys of all ages at the YMCA. Volunteering his time to such a cause alone is worth great praise. However it goes further than that.

This year in Kurt’s second year Waterloo’again won the OUAA showing why he is Canada’s most outstanding coach. Early in the tournament Waterloo lost, through injury, the talented rookie Tim Wenzal who was the favourite in his wieght class. Faced with this loss many teams could be expected to fold. The spirit and ability that Kurt gave the, team pushed them to victory. Now Kurt goes to Munich with a team that could have three Waterloo wrestlers on it. His self sacrifice, his pride and his ability has earned the respect of wrestlers across Canada. W can be sure that Canada’s team will have those 7 same abilities. Stepping into the coaching position at Waterloo just two years ago Kurt welded what could have been a demoralized unit after the popular Ed DeArmon left, into a highly effective wrestling team. Victory in the OQAA championship was a great accomplishment but to Kurt his greatest success was the improved ability of all wrestlers.
The heavyweight George Saunders does not have John’s problems with wieght nor does he seem to worry or lack confidence. Success in football, swimming and wrestling have given George sure knowledge of his abilities. At times quiet and reserved, on the mat George becomes a picture of strength and aggression. George wrestles with the assurance that his private life has created. SThis assurance, this great confidence in his wrestling has lifted him to a position ex-warrior coach Ed DeArmon forecasted three years ago. Then, Ed declared that George one day would be a Canadian champion. George now has reached the threshold of international competition. He is now at the emotional pinnacle of representing his country at the Olympics.

Chile: .
Late in 1970, the voting population of Chile elected the Popular, Unity (UP) coalition, led by the Socialist Party and the Communist Party to power. Salvador Allende became the first socialist elected to the office of president in the Americas. Since the election, the UP coalition has fought hard against the foreign controllers of the Chilean economy (mainly U.S. corporations) and against the biggest industrialists within the country. Recently the opposition of these reactionary forces to the programs of the UP and of the non-governmental Left Movement (MIR) has increased. The UP administration is trying to lay the basis for building socialism in Chile. While the coalition is not now attempting complete transformation into a socialist economy, it is drastically restricting the role of foreign investors and large land owners in the country’s economy. Inflation has been reduced by over 60 per cent, real wages of workers have increased as has employment and the big estates have been broken up and given to the peasants who work the soil. The UP has been careful to do all this through legal, constituted means. The right wing and centre parties, which usually act in the interests of the Chilean and foreign capitalists, control the parliament and the‘ courts, making progress a very difficult and long process. In large part, the UP has speeded up reforms which were begun at a snail’s pace by previous administrations. Although some attempts have been made to mobilize the workers and peasants who are benefitting from the reforms, the main decisions and actions have taken place in the halls of the governmental palace. Although the vast masses of workers, peasants, students and unemployed in Chile back the coalition government, most people have yet to be organized into any left organization. To accomplish this task and increase its strength, the UP has been setting up neighborhood support committees. The Revolutionary Left Movement the mass-based left group- which supports the UP coalition from outside the government, has increased four-fold since Allende was put into office.
U.S. backs right against left laws were arranged to support the position of the few who exploit the many. UP is working within, not abolishing such a constitutional framework.
certainty by any outside observer at this point. One thing is certain: No ruling class gives up its power withouta struggle, and Chile is no exception.
Fascist squads such a-s “Land and Liberty” have been set up by the right to terrorize the leftist groups and their supporters and have broken up demonstrations and beaten leftists. In December 1971, opposition parties organized the well-publicized demonstrations of the “pots and pans” in protest of alleged food shortages. The march was composed mainly of upper and upper middle class womenmany of whom gave their servants the day off on the condition that ‘they too participate in the . demonstration.
Before the 1964 elections, which Allende lost, the right-wing received one million dollars monthly from the U.S. to help finance ads slandering Allende and communism. ,dne broadcast on the radio featured the sound of machine guns followed by a woman’s cry, “They’re killing my son. The Communists...” An announcer broke in, “Communism offers blood and pain. So that this doesn’t happen in Chile, we must elect Eduardo Frei (the Christian Democrat incumbent) for President.”
Many of the supposed food shortages protested by the opposition were in fact caused by these people from the upper class. Shortly after Allende’s election, large cattle owners slaughtered masses of cattle and left the meat to rot, large landowners cut down their forests and left abandoned the wood in efforts to force prices up and create shortages. At the same time, the rich withdrew their money from the banks in order to panic the country. At the “Pots and Pans” demonstration, the right provoked clashes with leftist students. Later, the reactionaries in parliament used these clashes as an excuse to demand the removal of the Leftist Minister of the Interior Toha. In a brilliant parliamentary maneuver, Allende made Toha Defence Minister. His removal had been considered a test run for an attempt to impeach’ Allende sometime in the future. So the attempt of the UP to remain within th“e governmental system is a precarious road. Throughout the past year and a half, the U.S. government has been overtly and covertly hostile to the leftist administration. The CIA has been active, and it has been claimed by the UP that the intelligence agency is behind the terrorist group called VOP. At‘any rate there are various options open to Allende at this point. He can rely more upon parliamentary and legal methods of gaining the much-needed reforms with all the compromising that this entails. Or he could rely mainly upon the organized support and action of the people, increase their political and organizational struggles and participation in decision-making, and combine this with minimal use of the parliamentary system. Lastly, the elements of the UP might be forced to engage in an armed struggle with the Chilean capitalists and their foreign supporters. The MIR feels that events will eventually reach this point, and they have continued to organize the Chilean people into armed groups in preparation for that time. What probably
will actually happen cannot be said with

More recently the U.S. used its control of the world copper market to cause a 20 per cent decrease in the world price of copper in the last year. Since copper is Chile’s most important export, millions of dollars which could have gone to help workers and peasants will’be lost. In addition, Allende inherited the old government debts of hundreds of millions of dollars- to U.S.-controlled agencies. Chile’s external debt is the second largest in the world, and most of it comes due next year. So it is logical to expect that the U.S. will attempt to use the debt as leverage on the Allende coalition in an effort to help out the local right-wing. The forces of the right in Chile have been stepping up their campaign against. reform in recent months, with growing propaganda and violence. In the face of this growing drive, the Popular Unity coalition is being pushed closer and closer to a crisis of confrontation with the right. Some outside observers, as well as the Revolutionary Left Movement in Chile, feel that the Up is not fully prepared for such a confrontation. Although there have been some instances of workers’ takeover and control of factories, this has not been widespread. Actions like this that make workers participants in revolution rather than beneficiaries of reforms put them in a stronger position to defend the government from right-wing attacks. But the broad masses who feel sympahty for the UP have not yet been organized into political groups. Without this link of arganization on a mass scale, the future of the UP is indeed questionable.

Two medical fellowships with a total value of $100,000 have -been awarded to two young doctors by The Canadian Life Insurance Association. Winners of the two $50,‘000 awards are Jacques Couture, 33, of’ the University of Montreal and ,Donald W. Paty, 35, of ‘the University of Western Ontario. Both m’en are*Fellows of the Royal of Physicians and College Surgeons of Canada. -Each will receive $10,000 a year for five years while teaching and condue ting research at their respective universities. _ Announcing the awards, J. W. Westaway, chairman of the public health committee of The Canadian Life Insurance Association, said: “The life insurance companies in Canada are indeed pleased to support Dr. Couture and Dr. Paty in their research and teaching work. We feel the assistance we give is helping these young doctors to improve not only the areas of their specialities, but the quality of life generally. ’ ’ Medical fellowships have’ been provided by the life insurance companies in Canada since 1966 to 14 Fellows at universities across Canada. The fellows are all doingimportant research work and are also training future doctors, teachers, and researchers. The value of Fellowships awarded over the past 7 years totals $700,000. “Support of Canadian medical schools and medical research has long been a policy of the life insurance companies in Canada,” said Westaway. “In fact, funds in excess of $3 million have been provided on a co-operative basis since ,l926.

According to Pierre Bois, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at University of Montreal, the Fellowship will enable Couture to “continue his work ‘as a teacher..scientist in the field of clinical anesthesia as well as the basic

The committee planned and operated the Student Summer Job Centre in ‘St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Kitchener . The centre was financed by grants from the federal department of manpower and im‘migration. Waterloo Lutheran University I was represented by H.K.Braden, the university’s placement officer. The Student Summer Job Centre was staffed by students representing the three post-
r
principles underlying pulmonary responses in various clinical situations and particularly under anesthesia.” Paty , who was born in Peking, China, graduated in medicine,-from Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia in 1962. He is currently completing post-graduate training in the United Kingdom and will be .returning to Canada and the University of Western Ontario this summer to,work in the department of Clinical Neurological Sciences as a teacher-scientist. According to Doug Backing: dean of the department of Medicine at Western, “Dr. Paty has had superb research training in neurological sciences from _ leaders in the field.” Summarizing the objectives that led to the naming of The Canadian Life Insurance Association’s 1972 Fellows, Westaway said: ‘fBoth of these dedicated young doctors represent the finest available in their chosen fields and the life insurance companies in Canada are proud to support them in their quest to alleviate suffering, increase understanding and‘ benefit mankind.”

secondary institutions in the Twin Cities. All students from the area were served. The committee’ planning the Student Summer Job Centre sought one central area where all students could register, and where all organizations or individuals _requiring student help could find it. More than 3,600 students 1 registered at the centre in 1971 and over half were placed. Plans are under way for 1972 and it is expected that the centre will open at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Monday, April 17. Peter Kalbfeisch, director of placement at Conestoga College, is chairman of this year’s committee and Waterloo Lutheran University is again represented by Mr. Braden. Mr. Braden urged all students who hope to work in the Twin Cities this summer to register.
“Gentle I
extermination”
Power at James
A vast new power projec_t fpr northwestern Quebec was announced by premier Robert Bourassa at a liberal Party rally in Quebec City in april of last year. It was predicted that the project would create 125,000 construction hobs, and 10,000 permanent jobs for the people of Quebec. When completed, the power complex wouldhave a generating capacity of ten point six million kilowatts, with a yearly output of over seventy billion kilowatt-hours. The cost has been estimated to be more than six billion dollars. i--- --. Bill 50, or tne James-Bay Region Developmetit Act,was introduced in Quebec Assemblee Nationale.on 23 june 1971, and was passed after a truly bitter debate (during which a liberal backbencher had to be prevented from punching out former Union National cabinet menber Jean Guy Cardinal) on july 14, Bourassa’s birthday. As finally passed, the bill astablished the James Bay Development. Corporation (JBDC) as a crown corporation with an authorized capital of 100 million dollars (10 million dollars per year for ten years); Hydro-Quebec holds a majority of the shares in the subsidiary set up to handle the hydro-electric development with the JBDC restricted to forty per cent. _ The claim of 125,000 jobs has been disputed. It is pointed out that the Churchill Falls project, which cost 1 billion dollars, had a peak of 6,300 jobs, with 150 of them permanent. James Bay, at six times the cost, is supposed to create twenty times the jobs. And Bourassa’s claim of 10,000 permanent jobs is sheer nonsense. The Financial Post puts the figure at closer to one thousand. The prinicipal rivers ivvolved are the Nottaway, Broadback, Rupert, Eastmain, and La Grande. They comprise a total drainage basin of 144,000 square miles, one quarter of the area of Quebec. There are two more or less distinct sections to the project. The southern is the Nottawav-BroadbackRupert (NBR) complex; the northern is the Eastmain-La Grande complex. The NBRproject calls for the diversion of the Nottaway and Broadback Rivers into the Rupert,along which the generating stations will be built. This means that the lower 90 miles or so of the first two will be practically dry, while the Rupert will become la staircase succession of small lakes with generating ststions at each step. The exact configuration of the northern complex is still uncertain, but it appears that it will call for the diversion of water from the Caniapiscau, Great Whale, and Eastmain basins, and, again, the staircase arrangement of the La Grande. Sections of the IOpinaca, Great Whale, and Eastmain Rivers will experience drastig reductions in flow. A total of about thirteen reservoirs will emerge out of all this, flooding approximately 5,100 square miles. miles. The hydro-electric potential of the area has been under study since 1964, but for much of that time it was rejected as too costly in relation to other sources of energy. In 1969, however, Hydro-Quebec cost estimates of producing nuclear energy began climbing, a process which continued in 1970-71, and .in 1970 the study, after having been closed down, got under way again. Of three major studies done since then (including one by Hydro-Quebec’s own engineers) all found James Bay to be cheapest on a cost per unit energy basis. Last june a fourth study,to further inquire into this question of cost, was.commissioned. It was dorie by a Philadelphia firm and it found that, even taking into account pollution standards likely to be-in effect by the end of the decade, nuclear energy would be cheaper. The report was submitted to Hydro-Quebec last August 23, almost six weeks after the James Bay bill had be& rammed through the Assemblee Nationale. The report was kept secret; nobody knew it existed until it was leaked early this february. In 1912 the area in question was ceded to Quebec by the federal government with the provision that agreement be reached with the Indians before doing anything with the land. But when Bill 50 was introduced in the Assemblee Nationale last june, no consultations had been held. The sole reference to the Indians in the act itself was in the section labelled Miscellaneous, sec.43: “This act shall in no way affect the rights of Indian communities living in the Territory.” This has a depressingly familiar ring .to it.
On 28 july, 1971, a press conference was called by the Quebec Indian Association. Among those present were Max Gros-Louis, secretary treasurer of the Association, and the chiefs, or their representatives, of all the bands living in the James Bay area. They angrily denounced the project as signifying the “gentle extermination” of Indians living in the region and announced that they had sent letters of protest to Trudeau, Chretien, and Bourassa. Billy Diamond, chief of Ihe Cree land at Rupert House, said, “1 went to school in Ontario for 13 years and l.“d had enough. lfelt like I’d been processed through a factoryl felt like a canned fruit. I didn”t want to be like that so I returned home to the life I knew. When this hydro project tears up our land, will our children and our grandchildren be able to go back like I did?“” The Federal-Provincial Task Force inquiry into the environmental effects of the project makes passing reference to the possible flooding of the Waswanipi and Mistassini reserves; concluding simply that this would necessitate new houses, schools, and so on for’ the Indians affected. The James Bay wetlands support a great many girds, with the Rupert Bay area (which will probably be developed first) having the highest concentration. It is also an important resting place on the bi-annual migrations. Among the species that will be affected are Canada geese, lesser snow geese, and blue geese. These are also important sources of local income. The most important terrestrial mammals are the caribou, moose, and beavers. The caribou will be hardest hit. All will obviously be hurt by the 5,100 square miles of flooding. ihe reservoirs can also be expected to have an impact on the migration routes of the caribou, which is important since even at the best of times the drowning of calves is an important mortality factor. Again, all this strikes at the Indians as well as the animals themselves. Fish will be heaving a very rough time, and several important species are involvedNitrogen supersaturation, excessive turbidity, and drastic or total reductions in flow on several rivers will all take their toll. The reservoirs will have an annual fluctuation far larger,than occurs now, which will de very harmful to spawning grounds since these are usually found in shallow water. Among the species that will be affe$ed are giant speckled trout, lake trout, sea trout, landlocked salmon, Atlantic Ungava salmon, arctic char, whitefish, walleye, and sturgeon. And once again, the Indians will also lose. These, of course, are microscopic effects. The macroscopic effects simply cannot be predictedFor example, the Task Force noted that 40 per cent of the flow of the Caniapi-scau basin will be diverted, with “consequent but uninvestigated effects upon the remainder of the Caniapiscau system’” Erosion patterns are certain to change. And two federal government scientists, dr. L-M. Dickie and dr. Robert Stewart, have added their voices to those who claim the project could alter the climate of the region. Norrii4Iy the spring runoff from the rivers churns the warmer salt water to the surface, melting the ice. The damming of the rivers may therefore increase snowfall in the fall, thicken the ice, and delay spring thus destroying the ecology of the region. Possibly, the scientists said, there should be built into the project a cost for destroying the dams in case their fears materialize! ’ ~ As for economic effects, this appears to be the one aspect of the project that has Ottawa worried. Mainly they are worried that the billions of dollars of american finance capital will force up the value of the Canadian dollar and thus the price of canadian exports. A great many jobs in Canada depend upon export sales. The Task Force inquiry into environmental impacts of the project notes that “this Task Force was not established until after mid-1971. In future, preliminary environmental studies should be initiated much earlier-in effect concurrent with engineering studies.” Le Devoir cited HydroQuebec’s own engineers as saying that studies have been completed only on the NBR complex and called estimates on the rest of the area “ill-conceived extrapolation devoid of foundation.“” Max Gros-Louis reports that the government still has not begun serious negotiations with the lndi&s Over 50 million dollars worth of contracts on the project have. already been let. t l + .I.

Imperialism not monopolized by western countries In the article on imperialism of your Irish special, you mention the Korean incident. I am not pleased in hearing about Western imperialism all the time. Western nations do not have a ,monopoly. In 1945, Korea had been a province of the empire of Japan for about four decades after the Russo-Japanese war of about 19031905. Allied troops, principally) Russian, liberated this province from the imperial army. Russia demanded payment for its services in the Pacific war (hah ! ). It also wished to protect its eastern industrial complexes as well as the Manchurian Industrial Basin. At this time, China was still a splintered country and was
barely able to hold onto this complex. It is possible that Russia (Soviet imperialism does not exist, Russian imperialism has existed for centuries) might have desired ‘this part of China for its own. ’ Korea was the answer. The wealth of Korea was payment for the battle service. Korea could act as a buffer zone against invasion from Japan or America. Korea could act as a springboard for an invasion into China. At this time, America was somewhat anticolonial (politically not economically) much to the distress of the British. As a result of this and other factors, Russia was persuaded to accept the northern half of Korea.
Are you planning to teach? The Althouse College Students Council would like to WARN the students of your university about the dangers involved in entering a college of education for training as .a secondary school teacher. The employment situation this . year is worse than even the most pessimistic of our stud’ents might have predicted last fall. Such large boards of education as Waterloo and Simcoe Counties expect to hire few, if any , teachers this year. The colleges of education must allow the maximum number of students to enrol each year if they are to maintain their staffs at the present levels. The per capita grant structure decreed by the provincial government forces them to this ridiculous position. Thus the government is spending H considerable amount of the taxpayer’s money training teachers who aren’t needed. A certain amount of c’ompetition is healthy, we agree, but the present amount is ludicrous. Althouse is presently in a state of mass paranoia. Our message, then, is simply this-UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO TEACH, DON”T ENTER A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION. Think carefully
UBC planning The planning students’ association of the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia recently attempted to secure the names and addresses of all persons who have applied to attend this school next year. The director of the school refused to release these names. It was, and still is, our desire to provide additional information concerning the M.A. programme in planning here.

MONTREAL (CUPD-Students at McGill University are organizing to oppose student council’s decision to reject the unanimous choice of this year’s McGill Daily staff for editor of next year’s paper. In a five-hour marathon session march 15, council elected law student Timothy Denton over the Daily’s choice Nesar Ahmad, by a one-vote margin in the second of two secret ballots. Earlier, the council had passed a 14-point “contract”. laying down rules by which next year’s Daily editor must abide. Student society president Gabor Zinner, who had drafted the document, defended it to the meeting. ’ Claiming that his remarks were not meant to prejudice the council against the Daily’s choice for editor, Zinner launched into a detailed criticism of this year’s Daily, saying that it had neglected the coverage of campus events and had promoted a “monolithic” political position. Nesar Ahmad voiced the concern that “certain ethics in journalism are involved here, such as the right of any newspaper to autonomy.” However Denton-who has no newspaper experience--came out strongly in favor of the contract. After four hours of heated debate, including an unsuccessful attempt to reject both candidates and re-open applications for the editorship, a motion asking for the ratification of Ahmad was proposed. A motion to vote by secret ballot was passed. The first ballot ended in a tie, the second gave Denton 8 to 7 plurality. The students in the audience then shouted for an open vote but were ignored by council. The meeting was hastily adjourned .

after a call came from the, audience to convene a meeting of those wishing a “free and open Daily”. About 125 people gathered ! in an adjoining room and began I planning resistance to the council L decision. At this meeting Ahmad called for all students to mobilize support for a free and open Daily and charged the council meeting was characterized by “red-baiting”. Sociology professor, Marlene Dixon who supported Ahmad’s candidacy, described a meeting that she and other faculty had had earlier with President Zinner, “At which he made it clear that he supported Denton and wanted the Daily to, as he put it, ‘help him fulfil1 his mission of keeping the Students’ Society from fallinf apart”‘. Earlier Denton had told council that “The process of dissolution of the McGill community is being perpetrated by people with an interest in destroying this community. The role of the Daily editor next year will be to restore some kind of belonging to this place. A student at the organizational meeting stated, “We played by their rules and we lost. It’s been useful because now we know the enemy.” Many students came to the Daily office after the meeting ended and declared their determination to campaign against council. A petition supporting the Daily staff gained 500 signatures in four hours. The council decision is being appealed to the Judicail Committee of the Students’ Society on the grounds that parliamentary procedure requires appointees to receive a clear majority of the votes cast. Denton received only a plurality.

’ Crisis in. -7
Modern history tells us that at every turn when people sought solutiqns to their problems and needs, they did so in two ways; working through the prevailing institutions of the society in order to’ modify /them, or work outside them in order to destroy them. lf the nature of the demands is such that they2n be accommodate‘d within the mitations, that the already existing social, econ* a.nd politica I, p_ychological space (cultural space) places upon the people, the demands can be accommodated by the former method. The second method of change is dictated by the nkessity of a major crisis. If the demands--cannot be -accommodated through the prevailing cultural space, then we have a major cultural crisis. Such a crisis is one that affects all spheres of ,,human cons-ciousness and conscious human activity because it calls into question the tinderlying reasons for human existence, from social production to the everyday relationships of people who ,live in the soccety. It calls into question the whore value structure of all individuals who make up society. It is a crisis in values. A solution to such a crisiswill require a major re-orientation in the total cu,ltural space of living men and women. Whether or not -a major societal reorientation will evolve from such a crisis will depe’nd upon whether or not people will feel the immediacy of the contradictions in their own lives, and whether or not these same people care to do something about them iri a fundamental way. Once’ again people may ,choose to cotisoiidate their historical desires within the framework of the cultural space thatalready exists. Conversely they can recognize. To do that means leaving the- problem half solved, as the real solution requires a major revamping of ‘their- whole cultural space from its foundations.
Values defined What do we mean by,values, and why are they so central to our argument? Peoples’ values are the most fundamental aspects of peoples’ consciousness. They provide the most fundamental framework within which conscious hirman activity takes place. Thus, they represent peoples’ total outlook on life, from the way ‘they relate to social production to the way they relate to other people. As such they cdnstitute the determinants of the actions of living men and women who are in the- process of making t.heir whole reality, their history.Values are therefore the most difficult human qualities to change b_ecause they represent the most-fundamental pillars of societal and persona I process-t he rea I determinants of human life in a historical epoc. . They are one with .personal and societal activity. Changing values-means changing’ all qf society, all of mankitid from the foundations of their being. A crisis in values is therefore a crisis that touches the most fundamental aspects of peoples’ lives. It is of necessity a crisis with the most explosive potential because its solution lies totally outside the framework of the prevailing cultural space. Because every -major revolutionary change in the life of people or in societal process entails, and has always entailed, a major reorientation in peopjes’ values, a crisis in values is a signal of a real felt necessity for fundamental change in
&
1114the

peoples’. lives at all l&els of interaction. The solution to such a crisis will mean a total discarding of an outdated way of life,, which has become so oppressive that it becomes virtually impossible for people to live humanely within its framework. . But crisiSIin values can only occur if pe/ le are conscious that their whole way 4f life amounts to a- denial of their humanity. The key is people’s consciousness. There is no real crisis unless people feel the immediacy of needs. There c is no crisis in values unless people call into question the reasons for their -being in relation to the rest of the people who live in /the world.-
Society has you wired Our society’s values rest on the rotten pillars of posiessive individualism. The most immediate manifestations of this fact are in the overall system of social production. The most subtle manifestations are in the day to day relationships of people who live in this society. You immediately object! You say that you 8re a different .man or woman in your private busin&s affairs from when you are dealing with people as people. That in your private economic affairs you seek (security and profit, while in your dealings with people that are close to you, you strive for a human existance. As if in your bu’siness affairs you were not dealing with real people and outside-these affairs you were. No, so long as society’s social production ‘is styled after a mode of life based on possessive individualism it ‘would be inconceivable that similar relationships would-not filter into thg day to day interactions of people who live and work, who love and hatq, who suffer and enjoy, who at every moment of their being continually become involved with bne another. ,Opportunist relationships exist at all levels of hunian interaction because‘ the same people interact at all levels. People tryt e.ach other as objects, as commodities for bertain fetishized desires. At any one particular moment people may j mutually satisfy certain well defined needs. But they only do so instrumentally, for once these needs are satisfied the relationship stops.. People ,use one another and discard one anotheras one would use and discard a washcloth. Always look out for number one first. Maybe then, if you feel like it, you can be .aware of other peoplei But not before your own security is guaranteed. This one way relation may be successful for the purposes of accumulating wealth and prestige, but it doesn’t measure’ up at the level of truly human interactions. And even at the economic level, the vast majority of enterprises are superfluous:
.
We can feed, clothe, and shelter -ourselves abundantly well, so why should mankind. spend its time in fruitless military and industrial. endeavors *hat rape the environment, and chain men to machines and to the desires of capital production. Hence a ‘part of our humanity is always being denied because-we choose to interact instrumentally even at the -most human, emotional and personal levels. Positions of power and prestige at -the level of social production exist so that a person or a group of people can appropriate for themse!ves the greatest possible shares of that production. At the level of social interactions they portray domina!ce over on,e another’s lives. And yet such relationships will exist only insofar ai there are people who will dominate and people who will be dominated by others. In the same way people will be alienated from one another only insofar as they will allow themselves to _be alienated. Some would maintain *that, they can transcend these values, if they actively and unpretentiously treat other people as people. They- would neither dominate others or be dominated by others, they would neither alienate others or be alienated from others. But becaus6 the dominantcultural space lends itself easily to the opportunism of possessive individualism these relationships become confused. Just as one can never be sure what ‘8ther people’s motives-are, so one caii. never be sure if other people will respond as spontaneously and unprefentiously as oneself. If we try to live humanly by seeking to break through alienation and by constantly seeking to overcome the limitations of unprincipled opportunism, we- are leaving ourselves extremely vulnerable for being taken advantage of. When a person feels he is being used, he retreats to the old relationships of instrumentality. The vicious circle is completed. But if we do not try to live humanly we are directly supporting the values of a rotten ed’ifice by default.
Dilemma
or crisis
Becoming aware of the limitations that our cultural space imp&es upon people is important. Becoming aware that men and women make that cultural reality and can change that reality, if they want to, is even more important. When we recognize this historical potential, we recognize the potential for breaking through any societal and personal limitations, that prevent our needs ind desires from being satisfied. But knowledge of reality ddes not mean a crisis in reality. With knowledge we have uncovered the veil, we have recognized the box that we’re in, and the potential for solving the dilemma. But unless people feel the immediacy of their needs, there is no crisis between their needs and the means-to satisfy them. If the immediacy of new needs is not felt, there can be nd cris‘is between them and the cultural limitations.

Solution: it can be done There is no point in even beginning to talk about solutions. when it isn’t even clear that people feel the immediacy of the dile.mma between their needs and limitations. It is even less clear that people will care to do something about solving the dilemma. The cultural space of possessive individualism appears to overwhelm us. But it is only ouerwhe’lming insofar a> people refuse to get together and do something about it. It is not as though our own mental hang-ups and cultural limitations were insolvable. They simply require a lot of effort. One must work oneself over at every level of human interaction from the relations existing at the level of social production, to the day to day interactions as people who live in a world with other people. , There can be no dou\bt that the immedicacy of the crisis of values has hit home to a substantial number of people. However, it is by no means apparent that these same people have found-a proper way to solve this problem. Two general paths have been taken, both of which taken by thetiselves are’inadequate. The politicos exult scientific analysis. They demand to know how society came to be, what it is, and where it is going. But the problems they seek are abstract, structural, lifeless, ‘out there’. They are unable to bring them back to home base because they see the contradictions in our cultural space as purely general. They ignore the specific problems and are therefore blind to the real felt needs of their own life and the lives of other people. Hence theey view other people as inst;uments of historical process without life, without involvement. But herein lies their dilemma : the general I crisis in society as a whole, can only be realized after people feel the specific problems in their personal lives. Most politicos have to date ignored this essential fact. The second road out of society’s dilemma has been that of communal life. These people react to the politicos’ solutions. And rightly so, for we saw how the’ politicos tended to ignore real life and personal involvement. - Hence commune dwellers have tried to find answers to the problems in their otin lives in company with a few other people, but outside of and in abstraction from not only the rest of society, but in abstraction from anyone else except the immedi_ate commune - dwellers. They think that *personal life styles can be revolutionized without recourse to the fact that every person is a victim of the socializing influenc& of the society wherein they live. But evidenckd by the number of breakups and factionings among commune dwellers, this is obviously not the complete answer. Self Liberation demands the liberation of all people around you. Self liberation is based on the responsibility to yourself, your 4mmediate aquaintences, and the rest of socie’ty. To shirk this’ responsibility is like throwing away the baby with the bathwater. Working oneself ouer- is not. good enough. Seeking superstructural political solutions is not good enough. The only real answer is that one must strive to work oneseltover at the same time that one attempts. to work society over with other people.

The moratorium discussion was characterized from the outset by a very deep frustration felt by most participants, and expressed through the salvos of applause for almost all the criticisms presented. The conclusions reached in the study sessions paint a very clear picture of the position students enjoy in our university : abject powerlessness. It was within this context that the idea of an occupation took root, but it was not merely a response to the Wright Report or to the University of Waterloo Act. Put .accurately, the occupation expressed a much more total dissent, a far reaching alienation from the university as a whole, from all of its formats, its trules and its officials. That mood, felt acutely by a significant group of people, moved them away from the campus centre discussion to a sit-in in ,the administrative offices. Their concern and need was to act quickly, to show both,themseIves and others that the possibilities for change were not closed off. Once inside the building the students continued their discussion of the issues which coalesced into a statement of purpose and a list of demands For those inside, the situation presented them with the opportunity to share a great deal of experience and to develop their understanding of the university in a far more concrete fashion, all of which is essentially good.
he days of bread and circuses, of contemplation and calm at Waterloo seem to have ended. During the past two years we have contented ourselves with the political quietism that followed fast on the heels of the 1968 student involvement. Throughout that time the administration enjoyed virtually a free hand in its decision making activities and the government merrily involved itself in an investigation of the university as a whole. The general atmosphere which permeated those times, and within which each of us indulged himself in his own little world, was cleared a little on Wednesday afternoon. The moratorium itself provided a good format within which information could be transmitted and in which critical pressure could begin to develop; the move to occupy the business office and to continue the session there, while inopportune and ill-timed in many respects, forced the issue ahead on a tactical level. Taken as a whole moratorium day may herald the rebirth of student involvement, in itself an advance over the activities of last two terms which sported, as the height of student concern, a turgid debate over the merits of student controlled ice cream machines. Burt Matthews and company have had. it nice so far; his job has been cushy in contrast to the barrage of criticism and active opposition yvhich daily faced Howie Petch. Burt himself, reflectihg the times, has appeared quite comfortable in his post-so comfortable in fact that his response to the moratorium and the resultant sit-in was a rather unruffled ho-hum on his way home to bed. That’s part of Burt’s fantasy; back here in our world the potential of the recent activities appears quite different and Burt has not a little reason to worry. For our part this worry can soon be made to engulf him, provided X this week’s events are carefully understood and followed up.
nitially we must address ourselves to the occupation which issued from the meetin-g-while it is not the only gauge of what happened there, and perhaps not even the most significant one, it is the most immediate and tangible result. It is useless to debate its legitimacy at this time-it is an established fact which must be addressed and understood.

‘he challenge then is one of commitment, one which goes far beyond the very limited range of the occupation and places us all in an ongoing involvement with the student body. The onus is on all of us to make available to others what we gleaned from moratorium day, to continue to raise those issues until they form a focal point of campus discussion and we have with us the number of people required for a real solution. In short we cannot’ walk away from this either cynical, disillusioned or satisfied. For all of you who didn’t ,attend moratorium day-a caution. You can treat all of the events as simply more of the same old shit; you can label it, package it, attribute it to fad and thus keep it at a nice safe distance from your life, which is the traditional method. Or-and this is the challenge to you-you can face it for what it was and is: students making the initial, perhaps faltering, steps towards confronting the complete lack of power over our environment that all of us experience.

‘or the Federation, whose role in the sit-in, once begun, was minimal, the concern, responsiveness and cohesion of the occupants presents itself as an invitation to involve those students in creating and carrying out the programs they have been talking about. It is the perfect opportunity for council and executive members to tap a buoyant source of energy to help them really bring the issues to the whale’ campus; further, it provides them withenough sheer manpower to begin to relate those issues to the rest of the student body in a far more personal and individual fashion. Those who occupied the building are presented with a fundamental challenge as well. The occupation was completely spontaneous for the majority involvedLit gelled rather quickly into a specific set of demands.
