I--A gentle farce -

The delegation of students from the university of Waterloo to the private bills committee arrived at Queen’s Park shortly after ten on Wednesday morning. While people could sneak in through the side doors singly or in pairs, the ones who stood at the front doors were kept out for some time. But eventually everyone found their way inside and gathered near the private bills c,ommittee room. People sat in the main hall, some talking to the* policemen who guarded the .entrance to _ the committee room, some reading the newspaper reports of tuesday’s demonstration, some just .waiting. Half of the students had been In Toronto overnight. Most of them needed some sleep and a lot of them were hungry. A cart of beer and other beverages being rolled past drew ,several remarks and a good many wistful looks. Eventually they were informed that they would all be allowed into the committee ‘room when the university of Waterloo act bill was to be presented. At a quarter to three over 75 students and 15 administration people were packed in to the room with the private bills committee.

, Considering -the various frustrations encountered in the past twenty-four hours, they were a remarkably quiet group as they sat and listened to the problems of correct procedure. The only time they noticably interrupted the meeting was the burst of laughter when one of the members mentioned that in seven weeks the students would all be gone to their summer jobs. At the beginning of the meeting Lorne Henderson, chairman of the procedural affairs committee, explained that the bill had not been properly advertised. An NDP member from that committee, James Renwick, motioned that the recommendation of the procedural affairs committee be accepted. At this point,, Terry Moore asked if he could speak. The chairman then kindly explained that there could be no discussion’ on the university of Waterloo Act at this time. If another member had not expressed a desire to hear from public gallery, Terry would not have been recognized. He pointed that, if the bill is postponed for two weeks or more, the majority of students will be writing exams -or will have left the University. After a few speeches by members wanting to deal with the act as it stood before them, the mem bsrs passed the motion -to defer It. The meeting ended on that anti-climatic note. / I

Action freaks harang,ue. ‘Kerr glib1.ypurrs. h

by david cubberley chevron cub reporter

On tuesday of this week 1530 university and high school studentsmarched to the Ontario Legislature to protest the Wright Report -and proposed cutbacks in educational funding. Leaving the University of Toronto’s Convocation Hall, where the students from all over Ontario had met prior to the demonstration, they headed for the outer steps of the legislature building where the-protest was planned to take place. The protest took an unexpected turn from the outset by people moving beyond the steps and directly into the bowels of the legislature. Once inside the students explored all levels of the legislative ’ buildings in an orderly fashion. A small group entered the public galleries there to witness a little name-calling on the floor by conservative mpp’s; in the locker room atmosphere of provincial government, denied the possibility -of addressing questions to the elected representatives, the students soon left to return to the lower levels of the building. After a short period of unto-ordinated adventure, the protest began to regroup itself on the inner steps and ground floor of the legislature, there to hassle out the confusion resulting from the occupation. At this point a speaker rather arbitrarily put himself forward to chair the ‘meeting’ in a democratic fashion. The meeting was presented with a prearranged speaker’s !ist and listened quietly to a speech by a functionary from the Ontario Teacher’s Federation which supported the demo; restless in their ’ foriegn surroundings, the assembled body decided to forgo the rest of the speaker’s list (all of whom wanted to provide ‘more

information’ about -the basic issues), and to discuss their position. Reverting to a debate about tactics, a motion to immediately move the protest back outside was hastily placed on the floor by the speaker, a member of Toronto SAC. This in turn encouraged a polarization of various elements at the top of the steps, all competing for the allegiance of the body of people; fruitful discussion was effectively precluded at this point, in part due to the lack of sufficient megaphones for a variety of people to use them, irresponsible haranguing by a variety of cranks and action freaks, and by an un-democratic approach by the speaker (whose only concern seemed to be to get the people out of the building). The motion to move back to the steps of the legislature was clinched when a SACtype acting as envoy for George Kerr, t-he minister of education, announced that Kerr would address the crowd on the issues if and only. if they moved outside. Making quick capital of this the speaker pushed for a vote on the issue,-with little discussion, which alienated a good many people. The actual vote passed by a small percentage mainly due to the unanimous opinion of the people located on the ground floor-most of whom had entered late, had not roamed throughout the building and could not‘see just who or how many people were located on the inner steps and balcony; better then half of the demonstrators began to file back outside. The remainder tried to convince those leaving that they had been mislead; they noted that the only real power the protest had lay in their presence inside the buildings. Several people suggested that the police, who were by this point in time of great numbers, would lock the doors behind them.

Regrouping on the steps, the demonstrators awaited Kerr’s visit. From that point on a slow process of attrition drained away most of the people left inside the building; those remaining, about 100 in all, set up a discussion to clarify the issues facing them and to find the tactics appropriate to the situation. All was peaceful. The crowd on the steps remained peaceful and patient, adorned with banners and placards and attended to by numerous uniformed police, plainclot hesmen and reporters. Kerr’s address could hardly be said to have swayed or convinced the students; adopting a complacent attitude from the outset, he made little or no attempt to address himself to the major issues. The secret Treasury Board document, with its proposals for -drastic cuts in educational financing and enrollment, was glibly shrugged off as a mere report with no possibility of becoming legislation. When queried about the nature of its recommendations, Kerr tried to treat it as purely informational and steadfastly refused to deal with the judgements and rationale behind it. As regards the Wright Report proper, Kerr adopted a new tactic. Individuals asked numerous questions related to specific recommendations and methods of implementation-especially regarding the centralization of power in the hands of a new super-ministry. Kerr, again sidestepping a discussion of ‘implications’, made continual reference to the statement of principles offered in the introduction to the Wright Report. He refused to engage in any debate when the students suggested that the philosophy of the report was undermined by-its specific proposa Is.

Kerr was replaced for a short time by Bob Nixon, of the Ontario Liberal Party, who gave an unimpressive sp-eech on the ‘merits’ of the Wright Report.-The crowd responded quite negatively and numerous people suggested that Nixon had only spoken to get personal coverage on national TV. Nixon gave way to Floyd Laughren from the NDP, who attempted to discredit both previous statements; he stated that the Treasury Board document, rather than being informational, was in fact the working rationalization for decision’s which had been made much earlier by the Tory government. His speech drew a somewhat more positive response from the students. After another bout with Kerr, during which the crowd became noticeably restless over the types of answers presented to their questions, the demonstration *-began to give way. Discussion ended -with questions from Uniwat students concerning,--Kerr’s attitude toward the, U of W act; Kerr enacted a perfect Burt Mathews, sliding out from underneath the focus of the question and reassuring the students that the act would receive its due in the legislature. The demonstration ended by about six o’clock; throughout the day there were no incidents of violence, no disorderly behavior and no arrests. ’ Participants headed home to their various campuses, including McMaster, Centennial College, Glendon, Uof T, U of W, Trent, UWO, and many high schools. -Those occupying the insides of the legislative building left by approximately 8 o’clock. A number of Waterloo students stayed the night in Toronto to participate in the Private Bills Committee hearing on the U of W act the following day. -

The committee has proven to be a successful form of government and has gained the respect of most people in the school. During the fall there was a gradual development of trust and cooperation between faculty and students within the school. In nQvember there was a general ‘meeting of all those faculty and student reps involved in the school, held in Elora. The problems of the school were discussed at this meeting and a position paper <was produced calling for a clarification of the powers of the steering committee. The paper called for control over hiring and tenure of the faculty, control of finances, and other administrative powers, many of which are now controlled by the executive of the division. The paper was presented to Nash two minutes before a meeting on january 10 of this year. The Elora paper was rejected by the dean. At a regular meeting on february 10, a guest lecturer, Warren Brodie, spoke out abruptly at the meeting telling Nash he. was “running the meeting in a tyranical fashion for his - own aggrandissment”. This comment proved to be crucial in the deterioration of the- relations between Nash and the school. Nash has not > called a faculty-student meeting in architecture since that date. Further compounding the problems by bill Sheldon are Nash’s handling of incidents inthe chevron volving students and faculty. Nash threatened to suspend one student, Brian Brisbain, because Nash counters that the policy and Brisbain consistently ignored orders to course development is being held up by keep his dog out of the architecture the lack of work done by faculty, studio. ,especially in the area of course Myers, a part time professor, did a evaluation and planning for next year. .critique of the proposed extension to the He states that getting information from social sciences building.

Nash questions to administrative president Burt Matwhether the new man will be able to get thews, and they had decided the action information\ that he has been unable to was necessary. When Myers asked for a extract. hearing he was told that it was not necessary. The school has, in fact, already elected Also the *students find it difficult to a new interim director at a special, talk to Nash. Previously they have been meeting march 16.

If the decision is made hastily in asked for a hearing at the next division desperation the chances of a bad choice executive meeting, which was held the are greatly enhanced. same day. The executive heard the arguements from the school and the dean and then retired to make the decision for the extra seat which will be forwarded to Cornell and which would provide some future direction for the school. The two meetings are a result of long developing and smoldering problems ewith the school. To reach an understanding one must go back a year to the ousting of the last director, Bjornstad, who proved too difficult for anyone in the division. The school has been leaderless ever since. Last September, the faculty formed a i steering committee consisting of five I faculty members and two student representatives. The five faculty members come from the, five theme areas in the school: system measures, culture, ecology, studio, and structures. \

Architecture gains seat to Solve . administration problems tn a move to stem the rising tide of -problems in the school of architecture, the executiveof the Division of Environmental Studies voted to give an extra seat on the executive to the chairman of the steering committee of the school. Presently the only voice the school had is through the interim director of the school deari Nash. It is hoped that the placing of professor Don McIntyre of architecture on the exucutive will help solve some of the mounting administrative problems and policy decisions which are beginning to hurt the school.? The prtilems facing the school are as varied as they are complex. For the most part they seem to stem from the lack of a full time director. The school has been without a director for over a year and is run by a steering committee and a part time interim director, Dr Peter Nash, the dean of the Division of Environmental Studies of which architecture is a part. The school is presently searching for a director but until one is found, Nash divides himself between his two functions, attempting to put. in at least one full day per week at the school. With the physical separation between the school, which is on Philip street, and the rest of the division, which is in the social science building; and the multitude of other duties of the dean, the division of the dean’s time has been somewhat less than perfect. Architecture students and faculty complain that the dean is not spending sufficient time at the school to properly care for course and polici development for the upcoming terms. The steering committee asserted that without more executive power It can handle the small day-to-day functions but falls short -on more important matters due to the lack of power and a full time person to implement its decisidns.

A new interim director does Rot appear to have much future unless he meets with the approval of dean Nash. Larry Cummings the unofficial interim director-elect, has the admiration of Nash, as a professor, but Nash feels he is not a good administrator. Nash stated in the executive-meeting last monday that he would have reacted differently had someone else, such as Iprofessor Don McIntyre been elected to the post. N&h feels he cannot endorse Cummings. Furthermore Nash feels there is no need for a new man or even for himself to spend more time at the school until the faculty starts doing some of its homework. Some of the problem must surely rest with the fact there are poor communications between the architects and their administrator. Hopefully this will be improved with McIntyre having more power. Nash’s complaints about .pulling teeth can be further substantiated by the problems experienced in the building committee. This committee was in charge of coordinating the development of twe extension to the social sciences building. George Rich, the head of the committee, found the same difficultyy in getting information input from the architecture schbol. Explanations for these problems range fbom a rather shallow statement that architects are something special like “short tempered, difficult, prima donnas” to the more plausable explanation that the physical separation between the school and the social sciences building is preventing proper, communication. No matter what the solutions may be, they must be established very quickly. With all the administrative power plays between wh’at is essentially a faculty controlled steering committee and the division executive, the students are the primary losers. Policy and course content are not being set for next year. Except for a few important faculty members there is no faculty listing for the school for next year. Students are finding it impossible to determine what sort of education they will be getting next year if they do come back. . ’ In the architecture program there is a break between the BES degree after three years and the architecture degree after another three years. Many students are deciding to go elsewhere after the break. The attrition in the first year to cross the break was very high. Of 44 students in the 1967 class year, only 11 turned up in the second part of the programme. This year there are 46 students in the BES graduating class and many -are suggesting they will n’ot come back if things are not settled. When Nash was informed of this he retorted that he would not react to idle threats and that if the students wanted to leave they could as there were plenty .of students applying for the school. The ‘situation was well summed by John Ross a, student member of the division executive. He stated that the issues were very emotional ones but that they must be resolved quickly. The studen’ts, he said, are being shafted by a faculty-administration fight over which they have little control. He went further to state that those adults who hold the power positions should start acting as -such and get down to solving the problems.

Foreign industry truncates economy -_

’ Watkins u rges&nationalization The Gray report is a small step in the right direction but not the answer to foreign ownership problems in Canada, professor Mel Watkins told U. of W. students last week. He added that the structure of multi-national corporations discourage indigenous industry, and nationalization is the only long term solution. Contrary to the liberal myth which tells us that multi-national corporations are efficient, Watkins pointed out that they operate as oligopolies and are primarily in. terested in markets. “It’s in the nature of foreign ownership to create an economy which is inefficient from the standpoint of hinterland people” he said. According to Watkins the operation of multi-national corporations in Canada truncates the economy and creates, uneven development. In the resource area foreign industries extract and export resource products in unprocessed form. These companies don’t pay taxes and use a great deal of

machinery which they purchase in within fifty miles of Toronto, and the home country. sixty percent within 100 miles. All this truncates the economy This tends to balkanize the by discouraging processing in- country as workers in different dustries within the country, and parts of Canada tend to blame offers little in the way of long term each other for this situation.

Uniwat needs you as much as you need it by~;oe Just over two years ago, Mike Corbett and I wrote a chevr.on article, “A Reevaluation of Integrated Studies” in which we outlined some of the problems the newly formed unit was experiencing (specifically admissions and hiring-firing procedures). Cf paramount import in that article was the question “Who makes the decisions in integrated studies?” We argued then, and we still do, that it ‘should be possible for the students to make decisions for themselves and by themselves as in the original concept of’ integrated studies. The basic conflict then was between the students and the resource people and it . was a matter of who was responsible to the administration for the affairs of integrated studies-the \ concensus being both groups. And it came to pass that the administration accepted the students as decision-makers and created a senate council for integrated studies to aid them in their decisions. And their were nine faculty members and six integrated studies members and one chairman on this senate council for integrated studies. And the first chairman was ‘George Cross, dean of graduate studies, and senator. Re-enter hero, yours truly. Having spent five years at this venerable institution I decided it was time to graduate, to get my -degree, the prodigious Bachelor of Independent Studies. Independent of what they didn’t say-perhaps reality. OK boy, you want a degree....how do you propose we evaluate your performance? A computer-scored multiple choice, true-false questionnaire? A two hundred page thesis? Well how about we get a few smart guys to ask me some questions and let them decide if I am worthy of the letters, B.I.S. Fine with us, son, said the senate council, and lo, many moons later, on Feb. 28th of this year I was examined. And my mentors were unanimous in recommending me for my degree. And my mother was pleased.

The things started happening. On March 3, a hastily-called in camera meeting of senate council heard Roger Downer, appointed by George Cross, to be chairman of my examining committee, express his doubts that an “examination” had actually taken place as a result of certain nebulous “procedural irregularities”. Senate council voted, unanimously I am told, to rescind the recommendations of the examining committee at this time, and instructed Bill Smyth, administration assistant for IS, to, meet with me re-garding re-examination. At the same in camera session George Cross announced that he had tendered his resignation as council chairman and left the meeting, virtually before it had started. Prior to my exam, I had been informedthat I was to appear before senate council on march 10, before a final recommendation would be forwarded to the senate for approval. On march 8 I explained my position to a general meeting of IS members. At that time I understood that senate council, in effect, had ordered me to undergo reexamination which I am unwilling to do. Members of senate council at the march 8 meeting explained that the intent of their actions was to delay taking a final recommendation to the senate until council had had a chance to-meet with Mike Corbett and I to get a more complete picture of what transpired on february 28. I would, presumably, meet with council on march 10 as planned. On the afternoon of march 9, the executive of the senate met incamera to discuss George Cross’ resignation, among other things. They did not accept the resignation and cancelled the meeting for the next day. Burt Mathews did not have the common courtesy, I said common courtesy, to inform the assemblage that, in fact, there was no meeting of senate council on march 10, that it had been cancelled earlier in the day, that I was being denied my opportunity for a public hearing, at least for the time being. As of this writing I do not know when (if ever) I will be allowed to present my

case to the senate council. Perhaps, by the time you read this, the matter will have resolved itself. But whether it has or not, there are larger issues to be dealt with, an-d the time for dealing with them is now. First: The matter of George ‘Cross’ resignation. Cross has- stated publicly that as long ago as december he wanted out of the program. In his letter of resignation, he said that he felt the main problems in IS stemmed from “lack of , direction given by senate”, and, in very condescending terms, said that while the students are entitled to their opinions on the operation of the program, nobody ha,d to listen to them. Maybe George Cross should never have gotten into the program in the first place. IS was not created because the university saw a need for an alternative to the existing structure. IS was created because students saw the need,-and students demanded that that need be fulfilled. To say that the program suffers from a lack of administrative direction is ’ to undermine the basic philosophy of IS as a student initiated, student controlled experiment in education. At the same time as he is saying that he wants out Cross is also saying that the program is in danger of being scrapped by senate, that, IS has many enemies on the senate and throughout the university at large. I believe that such statements have had an effect on the students of IS and that that effect has been to frighten the students into seeking scapegoats for when the axe finally falls. I believe that I am being made that scapegoat, because I am a radical. Because I take a radical approach to my education. Because I have no respect for the likes of some one like George Cross, dean of graduate studies, and senator. If IS iscanned, it will not be becauSe of a lack of direction from senate. It will be’ because the students sat back and let it happen. This university believes that it has the right to make decisions that can affect a person for the rest of his life and that it can make these decisions behind closed

doors where they don’t have to explain anything to anybody. And if you ask why they call you a troublemaker acrid an agitator. And if you actually do something about it, they tell you how progressive you are and give you an integrated studies to play with. And then they close the doors again. Just fike in real life. And isn’t that what we’re all to learn about. REAL! LIFE! Real life. In real life the university spends‘2,OOO dollars per year to educate you. You give the university about 600 dollars a year and-the university gets the rest from its other benefactor, the government. But before the university gets its grant it must agree to become a degreegranting institution. No degrees-no grants. In real life. In real life the more students the university has the less it costs per student and therefore more profit per student. This university needs you as much as you need it. The same as a landlord needs his tenants and a factory owner his workers. You are a source of money, and with it, power. Without you the university is not a university. It really is that simple. In theory if you pay some one to do something for you, that some one should listen to what you have to say and act accordingly. In theory. In theory the university is a marshmellow. Or a machine. Or something. But in real life it is a few people making decisions that affect a lot of people for the rest of their lives, behind closed doors so they don’t have to explain anything to anybody, and in real life that has got to stop. Where ever it happens. I have been accused of plotting to destroy integrated studies because I don’t happen to,agree with everything it is doing. And I am told that I am coming close ,to “success” in my plottings. I think it’s a bum rap. I only want, my degree. I paid for it. I earned it. There are those who would say that I want to have my cake, and eat it too. I just want my piece of the cake. The university can eat it.

Canadian content issue not quelled by Aft S FaC ulty

Leo lohnson, history, seconded the Lambert proposal of the .history department, in opposing compulsion, motion calling for unusual action”. by John Keyes the chevron photos by Gord Moore the chevron .

Among recent events on campus, the question of Canadian relevence in this country’s education system has been vehemently discussed. In an attempt to expose the attitude of much of the faculty towards this issue, Ron Lambert made a proposal that three compulsory Canadian content courses be incorporated into the B.A. programme of this university. The atmosphere generated during last Wednesday’s moratorium and the general expression of discontent from those who attended, has prompted a thorough investigation of the role of the university in the minds of many individuals. How does this institution attempt to fulfil1 its responsibilities to its community, and the citizens of this country? The lack of attention given to the unique aspects and problems of Canadian society is readily apparent within both the media and education system-yet how does the university attempt to rectify it ? The Arts Faculty Council’s arguments against Lambert’s motion were simple: undue additional compulsion, and illiberal chauvinism. The use of compulsion as a viable argument is extremely weakened when it is considered in light of the present requirements. When faculty members can on the one hand oppose the compulsion to study relevent aspects of Canada, while on the other hand support the much less educationally oriented compulsion. of the A. and B. requirements, one cannot help but ask where the emphasis at this institution lies. The blatantly political reasons for maintaining the A (ii) requirement, a matter of forcing students into- the language departments in order to obtain the funds necessary to continue operating, apparently carry more weight than the educational and social reasons behind the push for Canadian content. As articulated by Ken Davis, the present compulsions make up the background

for Canadian cont’ent described the proposal

for a B.A. programme and as such are.acceptable, yet a knowledge of Canada is not seen in the same light, and should not, in his eyes, be incorporated into that programme. The question of whether compulsory Canadian content constitutes illiberal chauvinism has, similarly, not been thoughtfully considered in the Canadian context. In an effort to present a universal education across a broad spectrum of thought, academics in Canada, do not differentiate between the situation here and that in other nations. In the U.S. it is an accepted principle that the american tradition is an integral component of the education of its youth; there is no need for a legislated emphasis on the american experience since the emphasis has been tacitly incorporated. Canada, on the other hand, is not found contributing meaningfully to the education in this country. There is no tradition of Canadian. consciousness, accepted academically or socially, within the Canadian milieu. The need for direct action is a pressing one-not an effort to create a temperament of blind nationalism, a la Hitler Youth, but an effort to expose those within Canada to its tradition,, values and consciousmess. Defeating Lamber’t’s proposal has, beyond any doubt, succeeded in focusing attention upon the issue in general, and has provided a point from which future action can be taken. The need to address the problem is apparent and in light of faculty reaction thus far it is equally apparent that much of the action must be carried on in the campus as a whole, not specifically among faculty members or departments. One aspect of the approach to canadianizing the university environment has been a concerted push by the Canadian Liberation Movement for Canadian faculty. The 85 percent quota for Canadians, the focus of the C.L.M., when considered separate from the question of exactly how and what these people teach, appears rather impotent in its effort to repatriate, or patriate, Canadian campuses. It is obvious how many

courses. as “an

K.R. Davis, a/so unusual kind of

faculty members, among them Canadians, feel about the “Canadian consciousness”; for a large number, the unique character of the Canadian experience seems to have escaped them and does not carry any relevence. One of Joe Gold’s arguments against the Canadian content motion was that it would lead to a neglect of the “basic skills”. Does not a knowledge of the Canadian frame of reference constitute a “basic skill” for those being educated to live within that context? The approach suggested by many is that through the study of the traditional skills, the individual can incorporate, for himself, the Canadian contributions to them. Inherent in this view is the lack of realization that the Canadian experience is unique and a tacit belief that it is little more than an extention of the european or american.

Thethree

musketeers, Arts Faculty Council

Consequently, if any effort is going to be made to canadianize the university environment along the lines of citizenship of faculty, the basic issue of what is being taught will remain unanswered. Canadians, educated’and brought up without a basic knowledge of Canada will be incapable of infusing the Canadian consciousness into the education process, and the emphasis, or lack of, within that system, will remain unchanged. There is no difference between a foreign academic teaching irrelevent material and a Canadian doing the same-the question to be faced is that of material. Much of the debate dung past weeks within the Arts Faculty Council exposed an unhealthy and myopic view of the = Canadian educational structure. The defeat of Lambert’s proposal, far from burying the question, poses a definite challenge-that of exposing this lack of concern in a broader sense, and attempting to change it. There is an obvious need to present the issue in its entirety, including the ambivalence shown towards it in the past, and the need to take concrete steps, now. Pressure has to be applied, but before this pressure can be effective the questions must be clearly outlined and understood. Canada must be faced as a viable social entity, comprised of many diverse and uniquely Canadian philosophies, perspectives, and values. The role of this university and all universities in canada must be considered in this light and attempt to provide the education

john Wi/s&, Ron Lambert, and Leo johnson concerning their proposal for three compulsory

necessary effectively perience background

for one to contribute to the Canadian exwith a thorough’ in its unique qualities.

Arts faculty’s dismissal of a compulsory requirement to fill the present gap of Canadian content in education has defined the lines along which the push will have to be taken. If the seriousness of the dilemma is not recognized by those who occupy positions of academic responsibility, the student finds himself even further restrained from a full view of his surroundings. What future is there in store for Canada if what is inherent in its make-up and people, unique and differentiating qualities, are not presented to its youth, as an integral part of their education. The basis of a liberal education, supposedly offered by this institution, is that of allowing the student to make his own moral choice. Provided with adequate information, this ideal can be justifiably lived up to, however, this is not the case in Canada. The student or for that matter any member of Canadian society is not presented with the background in Canadian matters upon which to make any choice-in essence the Canadian alternative is not considered and consequently is not chosen. As far as this campus is concerned, the upcoming year will be a decisive one. A concerted effort must be made by the individual to grasp the problem, and to demand the changes necessary to make this institution relevent to its social and political environment.

- Grads hurt h.ard have Graduate %tude.nts become the Yost generation’ of the Ontario universities. A clear indication of this can be found in the recommendations of the Treasury Board report. The hardest hit group under the suggested tuition scheme are the graduates-who can anticipate an increase in their fees of 350 percent. The stu_dent loan program, moreover, will allow graduates no grants whatever, but loans upon which they will pay interest from the date of issue. The government’s explanation for this is that having attained three anyone, years of university education, receives a demonstrably greater benefit from any further education and the public is now paying an excessive’ amount for it. This, unhapp_ily, will not help those graduates who* already. find themselves in a financial squeeze. Currently income tax is paid on teaching fellowships. Shortly, Province of Ontario Fellowships , ’ will also be taxable. The real issue, however, is that, whil,e the number

of applicants for this program is rising, no increase in funds for it can be foreseen. What this amounts to is more students vying fbr less money. Another barb in the backs of graduate students is the OHSIP program. Those married graduates who are now receiving premium assistance for them- ’ selves and their families OHSIP policies will probably not receive any such consideration under OHSIP because all of his earnings (Fellowships) will now be considered income. For those who do manage to get their degree (They will become fewer if the government succeeds in’ reducing graduate enrqllment as much as they would like to8,000 fewer graduate students by 1975), they will find the job market already glutted with qualified individuals. It doesn’t seem that today’s tight employment situation is going to remedy itself overnight. The road to higher education does have its rough sections.

Expansion/ of.lSouth Slav studies at . Waterloo Non-credit, evening courses in Serbo-Croatian and Slovene are planned for the fall semester at UW. The offering of South Slav languages here actually began this semester, with a conversational course in Slovene under the direction\ of Anton Janko of the Germanic-Slavic Department. 1 Whether next fall’s courses will be conversationa I or introductory (or both) will depend largely on the type of stydents who apply. ,To aid in the planning, an informal “pre-registration” is now being undertaken. Interested students may pick up forms at the Germanic-Slavic Department office (Modern Lang. Bldg.). before the end of this semester. Anyone interested in other South Slav languages is also encouraged to fill in a form.

Although only Serbo-Croatian and Slovene will be offered in the fall semester, subsequent semesters may include Macedonian and Bulgarian. Hopefully, courses in history and culture will be added in the future. It should be added that this project has only the unofficial sanction of the Germanic-Slavic Department, and is not sponsored by it. The project is organized by departmental graduate students, although participation by faculty is likely. The end aim of the project is to have those courses which prove successful (in number) incorporated into the curriculum of various departments. There will be no charge for the courses.

STUDEN-TSHOW

the trojan women It is initially striking that the main characters of four Euripedes’ The Trojan Women are ‘women. Superb acting by Katherine Hepburn and Vanessa Redgrave serve to maintain an intense emotional pitch for two hours without a loss in vigour or credibility. Emphasis. upon the female response to the fall of Troy is especially significant, even though the historical justification is simply the massacre of all male Trojans. The passivity of this role throws into relief the inevitability of the fate carved out for the Trojans by forces which transcend any particular individual. Yet into this enveloping destiny creep glimmers of the merest possibility of freedom. They will all be slaves, but they may be either reluctant or complaisant. This freedom even soars to in( lude the possibility of a regicide

performed from an unwilling bed. But all this within the framework of a defeated homeland, a Troy burning at the hands of the Greeks. This recurring oscillation between the power of a will straining to be free, and the inevitability of destiny dashing its hopes on the ruins of the ancient walls of Troy, is a monument to the ineffability of the human spirit w’ithin the crushing realism of a shattered world-view. Katherine Hepburn is best illustrative of this oscillation, giving the movie its continuity in her role as deposed queen. The only uniting force amongst the defeated women, inspiring them with her indomitable strength, we witness the queen’s sporadic flirtations with suicide, and a rechanelling of her energy towards that sole purpose. It is within the range of these alternatives that the Trojan women fall, in coping with

their common plight. In a convincing portrayal of the Trojan princess, Genevieve Bujold taunts the Greeks with a mind beyond control. Her virginal vow doomed at the hands of her father’s slayer, she dances on the brink of insanity. Raving madness intersperced with lucidity portrays her struggle to maintain a floundering self -consciousness. The suggestion that insanity is at least a partially conscious attempt to cope with an untenable situation, sustains the tension until her final surrender. ‘The textual introduction bills The Trojan Women as one of the greatest anti-war plays yet to be written-a kind of super-Mash. Director Cacoyannis’ production captures much of what is great in this Greek tragedy, but its purported ‘message’ would. seem to confine it to a popular triviality.

-polMionprdE I . Japanese town battles against killer pollution’ MINAMATA, Japan(LNS)-“I’llnever forget the day my little Toyoko died,” says Mrs. Mizoguchi. “It was our wedding anniversary, march 15, 1959. My daughter was only eight.” A bizarre ailment had suddenly stricken Toyoko in 1953, her mother recalls. “She’d been up and hopping about like a bird, and the next thing she was on her back all mushy like a drunkard. Looked like she was grinning all the time. “Couldn’t figure out what in the world.. .Then I said it must be some terrible disease. I thought my child must be diseased like those cats and crows that were dying all about us. I said to myself, we’ve really got something serious on our hands.” Toyoko’s attacks had no causeor so it seemed to the family. She was the first known victim of mercury poisoning, called Minamata Disease by the villagers. Thus far, Minamata Disease has claimed the lives of 52 residents of this Japanese fishing town. Over the past fourteen years, dozens more’ in Minamata have been blinded, deranged or paralyzed, by the mercury wastes emitted by a giant factory of ShinNihon Chisso Corporation, one of Japan’s largest fertilizer companies and Minamata’s largest employer. The methyl mercury, which Chisso dumped into Minamata Bay throughout the 1950’s, infected the area’s fish and shellfish. Residents eating the seafood contracted the terrible nervedamaging ailment. “I thought nutrition was the main thing and went to Koijishima - to find my child good oysters,”

continued Toyoko’s mother. “But what I saw there was black industrial wastes all over the coast that smelled like rotten eggs. The oysters were dead with their shells half open. “There was poison in those wastes that killed the fish,“‘she said: “And cats and crows, too. My child ate the fish and she liked them. But she ate poison and nothing else. Oh no, I said, we can’t eat fish anymore.” Not only have the residents of the village become aware of what the problem is but they are trying to do something about it. Dissatisfied with lengthy court action and government mediation, angry Minamata victims, their\ families now and sympathizers are mounting a Nader-like campaign to dramatize their demands for reparation. Since December 6 a large contingent has been encamped outside Chisso’s Tokyo headquarters in a well-publicized siege. Yet Japanese observers are surprised that Minamata Disease sufferers have been willing to draw the glare of publicity upon themselves by participating in the protest campaign. For almost two decades most of the victims have tried to hide their ailments, for Japanese society discrminates against families with diseased or crippled members. The *present controversy, which centers on the company’s refusal to assume full financial and moral responsibility for the poisonings, is winning wide support in the mass / media. Japan’s largest newspaper, Asahi Shimbun, reflected the growing public concern when it

editorialized that “the amount of compensation that has been decided to be paid to victims showshow cheaply human life is valued in this country.“. The maximum monthly medical allowance for patients suffering from serious mercury poisoning has set at $32. Critics assert that the government has sided with corporate interests against pollution sufferers throughout the past two decades. In the Minamata case, they note, Tokyo moved initially to quash investigations into the mercury poisoning epidemic. A government poll conducter in December 1970 disclosed that over two-thirds of Tokyo’s residents ’ regarded themselves as suffering from pollution poisoning. Of these, 83.3 blamed the government’s high-growth economic policies. It was almost ten years after the first cases in. Minamata, in 1968, that the government first officially disclosed that methyl mercury had I been to blame at Minamata-after mercury wastes from a chemical factory in Niigata Prefecture had begun killing residents living downstream. When hundreds of one-share the stockholders supporting Minamata patients showed up last May. at a Chisso stockholders meeting, the mangement had already packed the hall with 500 strongarm-men hired specially for the occassion. By the end of the meeting more than a dozen of the Minimata sympathizers required hospitalization. “Grandfather used to say that crows somehow know when a person is going to die and wait circling above the house. But the crows themselves were dying in those days,” Mrs. Mizoguchi said d

The Hospital George C. Scott is a fine actor, a joy to watch. And Dianna Rigg has a good body and possesses enough pleasant confidence to make up for a lack of overwhelming acting skills. And Paddy Chayevsky is a playwright of considerable talent and many fine scripts behind him. And Arthur Hiller is a director of competence and sometimes brilliance. (Despite what you may have thought of Love Story as,a story, the movie was welldirected.) ’ And a large, modern hospital with its overworked bureaucracy of doctors, nurses, administrators and other workers is over-ripe as a target for a good black-humor swordsman.

- -Meet the Winners

and let them do your spring tune up Use Your Shell or Chargex Credit Card

So why-when all those ingredients are put together+oes (at the Hyland) “The Hospital” fail as a motion picture? The main problem seems to be that all involved felt they had to use hatchets rather than rapiers, and, at the same time, widened the target. Added to the problem of a huge hospital are : (In no particular order) ghettos, a religious psycho, a hokey love theme, the anguish of the disillusioned older generation, radical politics versus responsible administrators plus the breakdown of marriage and a host of other asides. It’s something like going to a hockey game where the net is as wide as the end boards. You’re assured of plenty of goals, but who can care? The skill and discrimination are Illk3Shlg in this story, and the actors are left with a lot of stale lines and a lot of empty scenes. Just when Chayevsky is deftly. illustrating the cumbersome hierarchy -and lack of communication in the huge hospital by use of several gruesome mistakes resulting in the deaths of patients, doctors and nurses, the saving grace of a maniacal madman who has carefully conspired to bring all these deaths about is inserted. So, the whole point of the satire is lost. The implication is: if that madman had never entered the hospital, none of the mistakes and foul-ups would have happened. Again, Scott plays the hospital’s medical chief, whose unhappy marriage has just broken up and whose children)have all gone hippy and been kicked out of the house. Again, one is just beginning to share the man’s (and our) despair at the emptiness of marriage and the hopelessness of the generation gap. But Chayevsky is not satisfied to make his point and quit. He adds a young, sexy temptress just aching

to ball the frustrated Scott (Dianna Rigg, of the Avengers on television). So-, this !%year-old man, burdened to the point of suicide by responsibility , overwhelming family problems and sexual frustration is suddenly saved from killing himself by the unbelievable device of Rigg’s character. More frustratingly, Chayevsky feels he has to make a political comment at the end of the film. So, the issue of the hospital replacing black people’s homes in the ghetto where it is building-which has been simmering throughout the film-comes to an unrealistic conclusion at the finale. The protestors and black activists who have been fighting the hospital’s takeover of the people’s homes, storm into the hospital and demand the director as a hostage to counter the people who were arrested for refusing to leave their homes . So, the director throws up his hands, quits his job and tells the protestors that they can run the hospital if they think they can do a better job. As they gape in ignorant astonishment, he walks out of the hospital.

This shocks Scott back into his role of responsibility, and he- talks the director into returning with him to the hospital. Everything, we are subtly told, will be okay now that the madmen and the . This simplistic slur on the ignorance of protestors (versus the sincere intelligence of the administrators) is an insult to all involved. So, what do we get- in place of uncomfortable black humor?

I had really been looking forward to seeing “The Hospital”. The advertising and the previews had led me to believe that Chayevsky had come up with an’ important new strain of black humor, something which would 1 make US look with horror at the runaway world we’re caught in. But the Evelyn Waugh’s and the Nathaniel West’s are dead now, and they have yet to be reborn for our generation. The laugh that isn’t funny, the chuckle that gets caught in the throat, are too rare today. The genius that went into the direction and writing and acting of “Dr. Strangelove” hit very close to that target, but that was seven years ago, and nothing has comeclose since. “The Hospital” emerges only as a clumy, overstated vehicle for an actor currently in vogue and a playwright with a good reputation.

Malo, Si! ,

Given rock’s fundamental eclecticism, the product of an illegitimate birth and a pro-. miscous adolescence, it is surprising that there have not been more attempts to mate it with the highly rhythmic Latin-american _ musical tradition. With the notable exception of Santana, however, such efforts have not been terribly successful; thus the appearance of Malo (Warner Bros. BS 25841, a . bunch of stone-soul Chicano . rockers, is particularly welcome, especially if it presages a new injection of energy into a periodically moribund art form. This music is more latin than it is rock, and if you’ve never been able to distinguish between Xavier Cugat and Mongo Santamaria, it may not be your thing. After several listenings, however, I found the initially unfamiliar rhythms absolutely. infectious; and while I wasn’t sure just what I was supposed to shake,‘1 think I ended up shaking it anyway. Malo also demonstrates ability as a rock band with a nine-minute tour de force called “Peace”,‘ which begins and ends with a funky riff which most groups couldn’t get into, let alone develop ; but Malo interpolates a boppish trumpet solo over a relaxed, but sprightly, / jazz rhythm section, and the result is a stunning tribute to their multi-r-f faceted ‘dexterity. Although the remainder of the album is in a more Latin-American bag, the music is performed equally brilliantly, which leads, me to recommend Malo without qualification to anyone interested in expanding their musical consciousness. Osibisa’s second album,

(Decca DL7-53271, is also chock full of rhythms strange to my 4 4 ears, in this case of African and West Indian origin. As with Malo, the abscence of whistleable melodies is an initial barrier to appreciating other aspects of their music ; once again, however, a period of acclimafization‘ yields the pleasure of discovering attractive contents in an unfamiliar form. Kirk’s “Spirits Up Above” serves to illustrate some of their strengths and weaknesses. After a very mellow introduction featuring a choral statement of the lyrics by assorted “Friends and Lovers”, the tempo picks up with competent, but definitely not inspired, solos by piano, guitar, and horns; then back to the choral theme and out. It’s an intelligent and well executed arrangement, , but the mediocre improvisations by individual group members vitiate some of the excitement generated by Osibisa en masse. This is a very tightly knit group, however, and usually the rhythm section ‘(including such exotic items as the fontonfrom and the prenprensua) is doing so many interesting things that one naturally tends to ignore the other instruments. The vocals are also generally good, especially the “mouth-percussion” scatting of Loughty Amao on- “Survival”.’ Creating a distinctive music from disparate traditions is no easy task, but Osibisa is certainly “on the road to find out”. WCYAYA is an uneven, but basically quite enjoyable, album which both reaps the rewards and risks the failures of venturing beyond conventional musical boundaries. . Back within those boundaries, Goodies Volume I (Warner Bros. WCYAYA

BSJ 2575) is an odd collection of the great, not-so-great, and deservedly obscure artists who record for Kinney Music. Since the 11 tracks are all by different people groups, a- more detailed breakdown follows. Side one is “folky” : 3 familiar album cuts by -Gordon Lightfoot (‘Sit Down Young Stranger” from If.You Could Read My Mind), the Dead (“Ripple” from American Beauty 1’ and Van Morrison (“Virgo Clowns” from his Street Choir LP), all good’but also quite familiar; 2 absolutely atrocious singles from Dion and Jesse Colin Young. I’ll spare you the titles, but suffice it to say that Young is probably the least talented folksinger since Len Chandler, and that Dion sounded better with the -Belmonts. Side two is “rock” : 4 album cuts, two of which (Hendrix’s “Castles Made of Sand” and Jethro Tull’s “A Time for Everything”) are already in the record collection of just about everyone I know. The others are : a funky and very together “A Night In The Life of a Swamp Fox” from- Tony Joe White, and “Ride a White Swan” from T. Rex, a group whose appeal has thus far eluded me. 2 singles: “Had Me a Real Good Time” by the Faces, with Rod Stewart just barely shining through, and Fleetwood Mat’s “The Green Manalishi”, ‘which is.. . .well, Fleetwood Mat. Not, in other words, a really stellar bunch of Goodies; with the exception of the Tony Joe White, track, the good things are on readily available and thoroughly familiar albums. If this record turns up in the discount bins, it might be worth consideration, but otherwise it seems eminently forgetable.

The Athletic Revolution Jack ‘Scott Collier-MacMillan Canada 225 pages 1971.

Four summers ago, two young men climbed a podium grid with one unifying symbol, joined the world of athletics once again.tiith reality. 3 ’ Tommie Smith and John Carlos, black members of the United States Olympic team, raised clenched black-gloved, fists high above bowed heads, and as ‘the star spangled banner’ sounded in the arena, the world of sport leapt into social awareness. The U.S. Olympic committee no longer was the lone spokesman for the team and the Central american spectators aligned themselves with the cause by cheering the defiant ones. The Jamaican team supported the athletes and the Cubans congratulated Smith and Carlos; later, they sent their silver medals for the 400 meter relay-event to Harry Edwards, leader of the movement. Thirty hours after the incident, the U.S. Olympic committee finally announced the suspension of the athletes, but the message had already circled the world. “The untypical exhibitionism of these athletes...violates the basic standards of sportsmanship which are highly regarded in the United states”, said Bob,lPauI, press office of the committee in an attempt to explain the suspensions. After a heated press conference, Paul walked over to an unfriendly reporter and asked to see his credentials. The credentials were from Ramparts. “You’re on the niggers’ side, aren’t you? he said.

The sport arena, on that single day lbst its exemption from society’s illnesses and was deposed, if only temporarily, from its position of sacredness. Spectators could no longer submerge their knowledge of sport-bigotry into the hot emotion of viewing; administrators and coaches now had to accept and incorporate societal-temperature into their thoughts. Prior to the actions of these two brave athletes, rationalizations ran rampant as white athletes, viewers and coaches accepted -the black man’s position to be improving through sport. ‘You’ve come along way, baby’ was the over-riding concept, as this though presented a ‘half-full’ glass. The blacks however, saw the vessel as half-empty thinking, ‘we’ve got a long way to go, whitey’. Sport activist Jack Scott has followed his welldiscussed book ‘Athletics for Athletes’ with The Athletic Revolution. His latest work places the wbrld of sport squarely in the middle of society and points out the athletic world as a microcosm of the larger system. The book deals with-many aspects of the sportworld, but makes its mark by showing the athletes with potentials to be thinking, acting human beings, controlled by a machine of which most are totally afraid. - Many of Scott’s examples originate in the hot southern Californian atmosphere, bbt as did bellbottom pants, cut-off jeans and the track-shoecraze, we would be naive to assume that the effects are restricted to the point of origination. From their first contact with the world of wellorganized sport, athletes are treated as pawns to be traded and disposed of. at the _ ‘owner’s’ discretion. The U.S. college recruiters begin the system, and unfortunately do not recognize international -borders. - Every season they extend their unscrupulous, scheming gaze northward to the Canadian high school ‘meat market’. The college sport fanaticism initiates athletes to the big sport-machine, which ultimately culminates in the professional -sport arena. Many Canadians refuse tempting offers, but most cannot resist the well-rehearsed recruitmentjive and are consequently whirlpooled into the bigbusiness organization. The recruiters very often hire young maidens to ensure that potential athletes, when visiting the campuses, are suitably impressed. Athletes most likelyto be swirled into this system Zire those of the lower classes who consider a college education beyond their_ grasp through any other avenue. The result of this lower class fixation on success-in-athletics takes its toll most dramatically in the United States where black ghetto youths uphold the tradition of sport excellence as a worthwhile goal in itself and an exit from their plight, and forthwith strive to that end. Scott points out however, ‘it is evident that less than two percent of all big! school players eventually receive a college football scholarship. Schoolboys who spent four ye&s of high school dreaming of college gridiron are suddenly confronted by reality on graduation day. For every broadway Joe Namath there are hundreds of sad, disillusioned men standing on the street corners and sitting in the beer,halls of Pennsylvania town-s such as Scranton, Beaver Falls and Altoona’.

In. short, the game has been wrapped up in red, white and blue. It is no accident -that some of Jhe most ‘maudlin pregame’ ‘patriotism we- see in the country appears in‘ football stadiums. Nor is it aa accident that the most- repressive political regime in the history of this country is’ruled by afootball-freak, Richard M. Nixon.” ’ ‘In people’s minds the players are heroes, but in reality they’re nothing but what Cleaver calls ‘supermasduline menials’-studs whosevery action is controlled by the ‘omnipotent administrators’the owners. The ‘best’ coaches are those who are insgne for authority’like Lombai-di. He was a pintsized Patton who was hated and feared by-most of hi< players. But if you cop to the authority trip lo&g enough, follow the rules unquestioningly, you start . to believe they are right-then you’re gonna dig fascism when it comes down.” Jack Scoft in-eluded in his b’ood a chapter written by Dr. Max Rafferty, the former State superintendent of public instruction in California. Rafferty began his career in educatibn as a high school football coach and. regularly _- speaks out on athletics: ’ ’ “There are two great national institutions which simply cannot tolerate either internal dissension or external interference: our armed forces, and our interscholastic program. Both are of necessity benevolent dictatorships because by their very nature they cannot be otherwise. A combat squad which has to sit down and poll its members before it reacts to ati emergency has had it, and so has a footbaIJ$eam which letsits opponents tell it whbm to start in next Satur’daq’s game” ’ Rafferty then quoted general Douglas McArthur: Upon the fields of friendlystrif& are sown the-seeds which;on other d‘ays, on other fields,~will bear the fruits of victory.” But then not in Canada you say... “We are no longei- in the day’s of Jesus Christ or Jacques Cartier,-when there were no bacbers, nor mirrors to see our reflection. Sport is rroughly comparable to the army where there is discipline and the spirit of sacrifice. Too many parents, teqchers, clergy and others give in> to almost everytfiing kids want. That is why -we have so many revolutionary yoingsters today.” Sounds more like a theological sermon, or,a U.S. coach or maybe a straight old lady’s dialogue’to her yqung grandson, than a paragraph from a letter by i I Laval’s recreati,onal director,\ Art Lessard.

a chevron exercise in sensationalism by Bruce Murphy the chevron

Impressed in your mind by this stage of the year is the infallibility concept of the modern psychiatrist and his counter-part in the experimental fields, the university psych Prof. Surely, one would think, these men and women would not in any case allow a string of bizarre co-incidences to shake their faith in the natural order. Surely these men of education do not at any time believe, believe, . that there might be such things as ghosts, witches or even curses. Surely not. But here, in the tradition of the chevron, is another in the continuing series of exposes designed to show the bewildered student -plodding along in the face of an overpowering workload just what it is thatthese creatures we call profs are. and remember, you read it r first in the chevron. Beware the Psychology building! Certain portions of it this year have been subject to a . curse. Yes. A curse. _ But the beginning. Let us start at the . beginning. It started when, for some unknown reason hitherto unrevealed as the people in the kn.ow are in that stage of development known as taciturn, a curse was laid upon the hall pictured above. Perhaps somebody was fired and in his impotent rage cursed the whole blood,y lot of fools officing the hallway of his dem.ise. Or maybe some poor white rat falling under the scalpel of scientific truth in his last moments squealed out that they should a!l burn in hell. Or maybe it is just a friendly poltergist having

taken UC) residence in the hall and’amusina himself ‘in his off hours. But whatever the case the curse exists and is taking its toll of people in the hall. The happenings read like an Alfred Hitchcock movie script. The first office fallsto the curse. The second. The third. The fourth, fifth, sixth and so on until ten offices in a row have been rampaged through. And the curse has intelligence. It went around the corner in the hall. It went out of its way to be sure that one girl, who had moved out of the hall and into another, got hers. What happened to these people? They were ~ ’ struck down in strange and mysterious ways. Two or three lost parents. One iost his wife. One girl had a nervous breakdown. One prof was struck down by jaundice and forced to spend three months in hospital1 and another stood up from his desk to leave and was found later, ,unconscious, on the floor with no knowledge of what had happened to him and why he was unconscious and with a concussion. Understandably, with all this happening, the people, in the hallway began to get worried. Those next in line for the curse began to sweat under the eyes and worry that their number was up. Understandably that is for normal run of ‘the mill people. But not for psychologists. Not for the master of the mind. Not for the people who,‘next to god, know more about the human brain, its foibles, weaknesses, strengths and inherent characteristics than any body else. No. Not for them. But they did start to become worried. They did start to think that there was more to this than met-the psychology manuals. And they took steps. . Strange reports of experts of the supernatural being called in to determine what was . this strange unnatural being, this curse, this ooltergist. ’

Strange reports of psychologists huddled over burning incense candles in darkened rooms at the full moon chanting to the sun god akori to remove this-curse. _ Strange reports of sacrifices made to the Thor and all the other gods, of white rats bound for the scientific sca!pel finding a reprieve in a quick and merciless death and the supernatural. Even stranger reports of chains rattling in the wee hours when nobody was there to make them. And heavy footsteps echoeing down and around empty hallways. And the smell of and the hushed breathing of the people doomed to working in the hall that lived with a curse on its head. All this brings strange things to mind. Images of white rats being struck down with voodoo pins by some formless being. Images of thirteenth-century rites in dark grottos and the smell of the fumes from boil ing cauldrons of strange mixtures. Thoughts of witches and ghosts and the movie you saw on the late show last night. Voodoo dolls and Chinese mandarins. Astrology and the. crossing.of, neptune with saturn when their planar equations form a quad rat ic of parabolic dimensions. - Visions of the twilight zone and old english castles. The moors on clammy nights and the hound of the baskervilles. Witch hunts. and the Inquistion. Cults of the occult. Purges and puritans. And these people are charged with the teaching of our minds. Perhaps they found that the curse is the result of somebody buried beneath them whose ghost takes exception to having his sunshine blocked out by the building. Perhaps they found one of them had accidently given the scalpel to a white rat that was in reality the re-incarnation of Christ and god in his almighty had been really pissed off at them.

P-robe attacks deception :

-“Task-Force kiydro” Canadian Environmental News Service

’

In a brief to the Ontario Government’s “Task Force Hydro”, Pollution Probe Toronto attacked Ontario Hydro’s policy of %. electrical energy promotion as environmentally damaging and needlessly wasteful. The task force was created by the Ontario Government in order to study Hydro’s function, structure, operation, financing, and objectives. In their brief, Pollution Probe objected to Hydra’s advertising Po//utjon Minister Or-vi//e. Nerd. promotion of elect rica I power The coal burned by Hydro’s consumption, particularly its promotion of electrical space and thermal stations is a major contributor to air pollution. In a report water heating equipment. Probe by the Air Management Branch of stated that this aggressive Ontario government’s promotion is “detrimental to the the department of the Environment, long-term environmental, Hear-n“ and La keview economic, and social well-being of the generating stations were na’med the province.” Probe did not object to-the right as major contributors to Toronto’s air pollution. These two thermal of Hydro to advertise and promote were stat ions products that are in the public generating for 77 percent of the interest. They objected instead to responsible sulphur dioxide, 28 percent of the items “which so obviously run particulates, and 53 percent of the counter to the government’s oxides emitted into objective of utilizing resources in nitrogen Toronto’s air from October 1969 to the most efficient manner September 1970. Almost ha If of possible.” Probe stated that the words Ontario’s electric power is “clean”, “efficient”, and generated by thermal stations. The overall efficiency in con: “flameless”, when describing electric power, were only verting thermal energy to electrical energy is between 30 and 40 superficially correct; whereas these terms may apply to the percent placing electric heating far below gas and oil heating in household they most certainly do efficiency. In addition the fact that not apply to the power source, heating is much more particularly if the power is electrical expensive than alternative forms generated by thermal stations.

of heating is overlooked by the rate structure. With all cl’asses of electrical users in Ontario the unit price of power decreases as more is consumed. In addition, the rate price for electricity applied for space and water heating is less than one half of the normal commercial rate. Thus people who heat their homes’ with gas or oil are subsidizihg those who heat with electricity. The simple fact is that electrical. heating is not as in reality as efficient nor economical as gas and oil heating. The official reasoning behind decreasing rate structures is that increased use will bring down the price of power. The fallacy in this view is becoming more and more apparent. It appears that the larger generators are not working as efficiently as anticipated. In a report by the Chairman of Ontario Hydro’in December 1970 a rise in the wholesale cost of power of almost 50 percent by 1977 was predicted. The Pollution-Probe brief called for a basic change in the philosophy behind Hydro’s promotion of electrical energy. Instead of a situation where consumers have little incentive to control their levels of consumption, a new emphasis on power conservation was called for. Probe recommended that Hydro’s advertising programme should abandon’the promotion of electric space and water heating equipment and concentrate on the theme of energy conservation and the most efficient use of natural resources.

The upper Math hockey dynasty saw their hopes for a fitting end to a great season, dashed on Sunday evening as they fell victims to the host squad In the ‘Guelph intramural invitational -tournament. Having already disposed of pretenders to their crown in the U of W playdowns, Math was favoured to triumph over their adversaries from McMaster, Guelph and Waterloo Lutheran. . Their first draw pitted Math against a tough team from Edwards Hall of McMaster university. The Mat crew entered the semi-final contest with an undefeated record over the season and boasted sever?1 top Junior “B” stars and a former -Junior “A” player-Mike Sheehan. In the first of twotwenty minute periods, the play was wi‘de open with scoring chances galore on both sides. Dean Mucci opened the scoring for Waterloo on a breakaway with Rob Madeley and Pat Fallon assisting but McMaster struck for two quick markers before Fallon from Madeley tied it for the locals. However a second brilliant goal by the aforementioned Sheehan gave the hard-skating steel-city squad a 3-2 lead at the half. With determtnation etched on their faces, upper math-returned to th‘e fray for the second period and lmmedlately forced the play into the McMaster zone. Their tenacious checking was rewarded when Chris Higgins neatly deflected a centering pass from John Wetmore with Ian Mcllroy also assisting. Only ninety seconds later Ken Chupa ripped a blistering-wrist-shot into the cage from John Hohmeier and Math were back in a famlllar- positlonthe driver’s seat. For much of the remainder of the contest, the i-McMaster squad were checked into the ice and any scoring thrust was rebuked by a steady Al Smith between the Math pipes. However the straw that - broke the proverbial camel’s back came with over a minute remaining when Pat Fallon notched his second of the game on a brilliant passing play with Dean Mucci and Rob Madeley. The final score Math 5 - McMaster 3. This victory was rewarded with a 1% hour rest while the down-hearted losers were faced with - inevitable task of immediately returning to the ice for a game with the lanky louts from Lutheran whohad been edged 2-l by Guelph. The McMasterLutheran “game” was a farce from the outset with a few intelligent Lutheran members trying to remove heads and other appendages from the McMaster players. The game was called with 5 minutes remaining because brawls with McMaster , a head 10-2. This set the stage for a long-awaitled (at least 1% hours) meeting between upper Math and the Gryphons from Guelph. With a start reminiscent of t,he winter term playoffs, Upper Math grabbed an early 2-O lead on a brilliant solo dash by Rob Madeley and a nifty tip-in by John Hohmeier. Guelph came back to tie as a long shot eluded Bob . Denny in the Math nets and then their second goal came when the defense was caught napping. But Upper Math soon got those back as H-ohmeier scored his second on a scramble and Madeley made another outstanding play, shedding defenders in his wake to ptit his team ahead 4-2. It was then the Math squad died. , Guelph took advantage of shoddy clearing, penalties and assorted other mistakes to deal upper Math a trio of goals and take a 5-4 lead to the dressing room after one period. The second period was a tedious affair as Guelph thor,oughly checked Upper Math into disorganization using the advantage of the narrow confines of the Guelph campus arena (affectionately known as the “barn”). Trailing 6-4 with but a minute left to play, goaltender Al SmitIh was removed for sixth attacker as upper Math went on a last-ditch effort to tie the game. After a series of outstanding saves by the Guelph goalie, a clearing pass found the empty Math net and it was game over. Guelph 7 -Waterloo 4. Despite the final loss it was a very successful two terms for the upper Math hockey team. After finishing well-down in the standings in 1970-71, the team was moulded under the auspices of Scott Staples and Jeff Rimmer into a well-conditioned, fast-skating crew that excelled in positional play. In winning both the fall and winter championships, upper Math amassed 16 wins, 2 losses and 1 tie and outscored their opposition 91-31. Then team

-also boasted one of the outstanding hockey players at the unlverslty of Waterloo tn Rob Madeley,, a player that Coach McKlllop would do well to recogn ize. ? But overall, it was team work that enabled upper Math to have such an outstanding year and put the Faculty of Mathematics into the upper echelons in Intramurals at the university of Waterloo.

T-nuts take ball hockey The ball hockey league which has in the past beer! classified as a recreational activity by the intramural department has recently become very competitive. Great enthusiasm for this sport by several individuals has developed a need for playoffs, to determine the ball hockey kings of the Uniwat campus. This term there was only one team who finished with a perfect record of 6-O and they cdntinued on their winning ways to take the ball hockey championship. Art Smith and his T-Nuts are that team, and after posting a 75 goals for and 15 against record for the season they were favoured to take it all. Two quick wins in quarter and semi final play set-up a classic game for the finals; T-Nuts vs a highly reputed crew of Erb Street bailers. The final score of 4-2 indicates for itself that it was a close contest. The Philosophy of the ret level of the program is that activities of thi? nature should be played for fun only with no officials and overall brownie points. However an activity such as baIT hockey Indicates that perhaps the competitive aspect of the game can nqt or should not be eliminated. When asked if ball hockey should become a Part of the competitive level of the program, many players felt that it would ruin the nature of the game. For this reason it may be concluded that recreational activities should perhaps be One categorized under two sub levels. classification may be co-ed and the other competitive recreational. If ball hockey and other activities of this type become highly competitive at a recreational level should this competitivenes+ be supressed?

Champs second in Guelph Two St. Jeromes College teams of Uniwat travelled to Guelph last Sunday to compete along with the champion hockey team Upper Math in the Guelph Invitational Intramural Tournament. St. Jeromes took the championship in basketball with a close win over McMaster in the final. The Bagbitters met Lutheran in the first round but had little trouble with their all-star dribblers. The volleyball champs of the U of W were also from St. Jeromes. They played the ultimate champs of Guelph in the first round and lost a close one. However that could have been the best game of the series since neither Guelph nor Waterloo had little trouble with their championship and consolation victories respectively. Hockey was then placed as the event which would determine the tournament champion. It was Guelph vs Waterloo (Upper Math) and from the outset it looked like a sure thing for a Waterloo championship. The Upper Math crew took leads of 2-O and 4-2 but then came to an abrupt halt. Final Score was 7-4 for Guelph. Congratulations to all the players who took part and made it a successful event and a good conclusion to a great season in intramurals.

Summer program and change Now that the cold and snowy activities of the winter months are over and the sun is beginning to indicate that there may yet be another summer the intramural department is starting to put things together for the next term. Due to a little spring fever things are not Quite set, but a full report will appear in the next Chevron issue. The Townson trophy for overall participation by a unit and Fryer trophy which represents supremacy in the competitive level of the program were previously presented as a combined fall and winter trophy. This carry-over of competitive and participation points from one term to the next was decided by council as unfair to co-opeiative students who came on campus for a winter term. It. was therefore voted by council members that these two trophies will be presented at the end of each term. This should create a more well-balanced ,program and more enthusiasm by students.

Westinghouse and Hawker-Siddeley. For example,’ Canadair, a whollyowned aircraft subsidiary of General Dynamics of the U.S. was given $24,565,100 from three combined giveaway programs between 1966 and 1969. Other -recipients are corporations such as Noranda, Cominco and Eldorado mining which supply the U.S. war machine with strategic resources such as copper, nickel and uranium. Obviously these corporations are then going to use develop those universities to techniques necessary for them to carry out their operations and improve their efficiency for a greater profit. Here at Waterloo, we can begin to see the further aspect of interpenetration between U.S. interests and- campus research. We have projects here being conducted by Noranda mines, as well as others who are engaged in war production such as C.I.L., DuPont, Westinghouse, and Marsland Industries as well as others. In his book, The Energy Poker Game, by Jim Laxer of the Waffle Group, he stated, “By the end of the 1960’sthe U.S. had come to depend on Canada not only for immense profits, but also for strategic supplies in maintaining the military power on which the Americans depended for their control of much of the globe. One corporation alone, International ’ Nickel (INCO) supplied the U.S. with the bulk of its vital nickel as well as sending its investors, a majority of whom are Americans, a net profit of one hundred and forty-three and a half million dollars in 1968. Aluminum, copper and zinc flowed from Canada to the U.S.! Of course, INCO also does its research here at the University of Waterloo. Further information concerning the companies involved in the sale of war material can be found in the Government publication, Defence Products, but it is not available to Canadian citizens. From the pattern emerging from all these networks, there seems to be a definite interconnecting web between the military, the governments and the universities. This interrelationship is formally exposed in the composition of the D.R.B. itself.

According to the National Defence Act:“The Defence Research Board consists of a chairman and a vicechairman, appointed by the Governor in Council, and a) the president of the National Research Council of Canada; b) the Deputy Minister of National ‘. Defence; c) such members as may be appointed by the Minister, as ex-officio members representing the Canadian Forces; and additional members d) such representative of universities, industry and other research interests as the Governor in Council appoints.” At the University of Waterloo where we have one of these expensive grants, the Vietnam Mobilization Committee confronted the Senate last fall with this information. The vice-president, Howie Petch, who happens to be one of the researchers in a U.S. military project, defended such research by saying that: 1) the spin-off benefits from such projects are valuable to society which is just another way of saying that it scientific progress; 2) it is not up to the university to allow such research but is the choice of the researcher under the umbrella of “academic freedom”; 3) the research is non-classified and therefore “legitimate”. The first argument brings up the question of whether or not scientific progress is based on military activity, whether it is possible to have a society which does research for the social needs of its people and not for a foreign policy complicit in genocide in Vietnam and nuclear weapons escalation. Obviously, there are many alternatives to military scientific research, many of which are presented as spin off benefits of the war research that is is being defended. It’s all an amazing reversal of *priorities where projects on the elimination of pollution are hard to find and the military is a main sponsor of research. As for the second point, the cover of “academic freedom” merely supports the status quo whereby the rich military can lavishly sponsor research

unlike any socially necessary agency. The administration’s concept of “academic freedom” in effect means that the majority, the students and professors, must allow a few researchers to work for the U.S. military and similar institutions against our will. Is the university neutral and isolated from society? Obviously not, when links such as those with a foriegn military agency from an integral part of the university. In a brief, the University of Waterloo’s administration presented to the Committee on University Affairs (advisory committee to the Ontario Provincial government) in November 1970, it defines applied research as that “which clearly states a specific problem...The problem is specified by the sponsor and not by the research worker and progress and accomplishment are evaluated by the sponsor.” Where does any concept of “academic freedom” fit into this schema where the researcher has no choice in the purpose of the project or the direction? What is needed then is unconditional research grants to enable the researcher to escape the sponsor’s determination of the goal and their supervision over the project.

The overall research policy as well must not fall under the control of an administration or Boards of Governors which presently overlooks the ongoing war research. The basis of a research policy not responsible to institutions which are opposed by the overwhelming number of students and faculty must be student-faculty control of that policy. Only then will academic freedom become a reality and not a facade over the policy whereby those with the money get their work done irregardless of their intent and the wishes of the university community. Lastly, there is “classified”, secret, research being done at the University of Toronto by the Defence Research Board and probably at other universities as well. Besides, the projects that aren’t secret and controversial are open because someone else (like the U.S. Congressional Record) revealed them or public pressure forced them to do so. We must not forget that the findings are usually kept secret. What has to be done is to launch a cross-Canada campaign to “End War Research on Campus”, “Open the Files on Projects”, “End Canada’s Complicity” and “Stop the War”.

Well, its finally out. World Sports magazine claivs, in an article by Dr. Christine Pickard, that female athletes are sexier ‘than the average woman and make better lovers. She claimed that ,although all may not be the prettiest birds around, ‘they are much more interested in sex, and physically more responsive than their physically less active sisters.’ “Athletes’ bodies are important to them-the intellectual on the other hand tends to take her body for granted. When it comes to sex, the intellectual is at a disadvantage”, said the 33 \year-old unmarried tennis player.

Table-tennis

Last month the chevron broke the news and told this campus that the Russians were coming. This week folks the Chinese table tennis squad iS paying a visit to Canada. A delegation of 28 top players and officials from the Republic of China arrived in Montreal yesterday for a ten day tour of the country. The,closest the squad will come to Waterloo is down the road in Toronto. Here they will play a Canadian squad next thursday in Varsity arena starting at 8 pee em. The table tennis players will arrive in Toronto on tuesday but will be taking a sight-seeing trip to Niagara Falls and then the next day head up to Gravenhurst, birthplace of Dr. Norman Bethune. Bethune who is just now becoming known to Candians is one of just three top national heros in China. He sacrificed his life while operating on the many wdunded revolutionary soldiers dying in 1939. Representing Canada on the tour will be Violetta Nesukaitis, Helen Simerl, Derek, Wall, Errol Caetano and Larry Lee. Larry is a math student here at Waterloo and was one of the members of the Canadian team that travelled to the Republic of China last year. The Chinese are sending their best players on the tour, which also includes matches in the U.S. and Mexico. In all the Chinese, who are rated number one in’the world will have six women players, seven men, two deputy heads, interpreters and correspondents. Among the players coming will be Chuang Tse-tung, three-time world champion, Lin Hui-thing, world women’s singles, doubles and mixed doubles champion;

As one can quickly see the team is top notch and should give any squad a rough go of it. If you want to see some action in this fine sport with the top players in the world, tickets are on sale at Varsity Arena and Moody’s in Toronto for $2 and $5.

Skiing ihe Trp of the World Ski Championships are all, s&t to start next‘wednesday in Inuvick, which is off campus a little ways to the north west for those of you who are not familiar with this settlement. Some nine countries will be sending approximately 200 nordic skiers to the big meet, which had it’s beginning just three years ago. A full Canadian and American contingent will be there along with representatives from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Japan, Italy, West Germany and Austria. The competition will last for five days. A portion of the competition will be hosted two hundred miles south at Fort McPherson, which is located on the Peel River for those of you who are geography buffs. The Fort is a hot bed for junior skiers. Junior teams representing the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Alberta plus a squad from Alaska will be seen treking through the bush around the Fort. With this ski champ&ship being one the of the most interesting events in the world today and being held almost around the corner from the campus, your chevron sports reports will not pass up the opportunity to bring you all the colour and action. Read all about it in next weeks issue.

The Trotts

Harngss racing is one of the more exciting sports that has grown over the past few years and might even be considered a good part-time investment. In fact the“ return on betting on harness racing is much better than that on the stock market. In betting the horses, handicapping is important. While this article cannot possibly deal with

squad

will

be playing

in Toronto,

all t-he factors that may be con- ’ sidered in handicapping a raice, it can give some of the major ones. Looking at a racing program, one finds a list of 5 to 13 horses that are numbered according to post position. Post position is an important factor in that a horse that starts out of the number eight position has to travel about 80 feet further th%-tonecomingout of the number one hole. Therefore the horse must run that much faster in order to win the race. These positions are drawn by lot the day before the race takes place. , The driver is another factor to’ consider. Some of the better drivers on the Goldenhorse circuit are Keith Waples, Ross Curran, Bill Wellwood and Don Pierce. They normally win better than thirty percent of the races they drive in. At certain times of the year, the Hie family, Doug, Roger, Clinton and Clifford are exceptional in the races they drive. The winter meet at Greenwood ,race track iti Toronto proved this very aptly. Another thing to look for is the track condition-fast, good, slow, sloppy, muddy, heavy. Only the finest horses can be expected to place in the top three race after race on the good and fast tracks. At times the horses that have a poor record on good tracks win consistently on sloppy and muddy . tracks.

Jockjott ings In last week’s rundown of the jock awards we accidently omitted the Murry Brooker Award given annually to the rugger most valuabl,e player. We were told to print this or else so here goes. Rick Hobson was the recipient. We also don’t want to omit an honourable mention to another rugger star who just happens to be the life of any and all parties including the awards pub. Saunders, you’re a great M.C. and next year try to get paid for keeping the jocks from failing asleep. Also forgotten in the hu b-bub the swim team. Debbie Farquhar won the Athenas rookie of the year award while Karl Brubaker received the ‘golden boy’ rookie Warrior award. Both participants did an outstanding job with their. respective squads. Debbie made it to the CIAU CWIAU Nationals in Fredkricton while Karl, although missingthe mens Nationals largely because ‘of a severe leg cramp, holds a number of team records. For many of you who don’t happen by the jock shope all that often you may like to know that there are still lots of athletes working out. The spring fever has hit the football team that stages its contests in Seagram Stadium. They have had a couple of niftyworkouts loosing a few pounds there and there and generally getting in the way of the basketball squad, v’ballers, badminton players trackmen,those who are just walking through, the tennis ball’ bouncers, would be hurlers, rounders, and the promising, up-and-coming stoolball chippy.

As a student at the, university of Waterloo, and also as a participant in the events covered so hysterically by your paper, I would like to make some comments and suggestions. The Globe and Mail continues it’s irresponsible editorializing, thus keeping in step with equally irresponsible news reporting, as demonstrated by Rosemary Pitcher’s coverage of the Trudeau incidents and related events here in Kitchener-Waterloo. That coverage was front-page distortion. ‘We here at the University have had previous exposure in your pages, as the subject of sensationalized exposes, non-truths, and half-truths. While I have been able to merely smile at such journalism in the past, that smile, and perhaps the s-miles on the faces of many thousands of students across THIS province, has disappeared. Not only do you display an alarming ignorance of the facts; both as they relate to the Trudeau demonstration, and to campus protest over provincial educational policies, but also a total disregard for the role that students should play in educational institutions at all levels. Your comments on the Trudeau demonstration are nothing short of absurd. You sent a reporterremember? Did she neglect to mention the numerous other groups represented at that demonstration? Or do you believe that the unemployed, union members from a. local automotive

firm, womens’ rights supporters and welfare recipients are all registered, “rabble” at the university of Waterloo? And why do you neglect the representation from the Waterloo Lutheran .A student body? It seems a sad commentary on the socalled “responsible” press that they can dismiss a concerned ‘protest as merely “the usual things:’ in the “usual methods”. If you can so blatantly immunize yourselves to organized, purposeful protest, is it any wonder that many of us question the worth of the restrictions we impose upon ourselves, the limits of verbal contact and, despite what you would have your readers believe, peaceful demonstration? --While criticizing the points in your article might be futile in terms of rectifying your fundamental misunderstanding, I do think that you and your readers should be aware that the number of students involved, both at this campus, and elsewhere, are growing. And it will continue to swell under the stimulus of Globe and Mail reaction. You seem to think that changed surroundings will buy off the discontented and pacify the discontent. Well, perhaps changed environs will be beneficial:we think so, we are trying to change them, and hopefully, part of that change will include a reevaluation of the function of the Globe and Mail. There is room for any responsible, aware and concerned journalism. At the present time, however, the Globe and Mail hardly fits that description. Jon McGill

Env. studies elect ions

Congratula$ions go out to the environmental studies society council : Ian D. Robertson-chairman Allen Gray-first deputy chairman Frank Nu-treasurerBarbs Anderson-secretary A partial list of directors has also been selected. They are Bart Deeg (publications), Bob List (athletics), and Ed Chanter (enterprises). The positions of social director, chairman, and orientation assistant director of publications are still open and available to interested persons. The major problem of the new executive.’ according to the chairman, seems to be the noninvolvement of the school, of Architecture. Currently, they have no representation on the council. At present, the new council is formulating plans for its 1972 orientation * program, handbook and directory. Anyone interested In helping with these projects should contact the ESS office at SSC 356 or ext 3924.

Bread not . enriched The “enriched” bread so widely available in our supermarkets today, is not really enriched. Made from refined flour, it is stripped of most of the viramins and minerals originally found in the wheat. wheat. Refined flour, rather than stonegrourid flour, is made by a process discovered in Philadelphia in the 1870’s. Steel rollers and heat pulverize the wheat into a puffy white flour. But this flour is nutritionally dead. Its advantage to bakers and j merchants is that it can be stored since insects and indefinitely, rodents will not nibble on it, and since meld, will not grow on it. In 1939, the industiy was finally urged by physicians to replace some of the vitamins and rriinerals lost in the milling process. Synthetic thyamine was added then, and in 1941 bakers began to’add niacin and iron. But commercial bread made from refined flour still lacks some 20 nutrients that are contained in the original wheat. In 1970, Mr. Roger J. Williays from the university of Texas performed a series of tests on two groups of rats. He reported that two thirds of 64 rats fed on a diet of enriched bread died from malnutrition. A second group of rats was fed on bread m:ade from flour fortified with the wheat’s original vitamins and minerals. After 90 days all 64 rats from the second group were living and in good health. (Environment Action Bulletin, 8 May 1971). Commercial breads still have not reached this level of nutritional value. In fact, commercial white bread is almost I totally useless. The answer is to bake your own. from

Federation-not

representative raised then? Perhaps the answer is that it is more attractive politically for the Federation executive to become the martyr than for it to do some constructive work. It would have been far more practical to have taken objections to the people directly responsible (the University Act Committee and the Department of University Affairs 1. We are not convinced that parity is the answer. At the Student Advisory Council and the feedback sessions held by Co-ordination, and the Curriculum Committee for the Faculty of Mathematics, a small number of students have been able to gain effective dialogue resulting in action. The university is a resource which belongs to the whole community and so its governing bodies should be representative of that community of which the current students are but a small part. No one group should \ dominate. Our greatest desire is for rational thought and discussion without rash and irresponsible action.

(This is a copy of a letter sent to Burt Matthews-lettitor. 1

We are a group of undergraduate students belonging to the silent majority of the university. However, the activities of the past few days compel us to express our opinion. First, we wish to point out that the policy of the executive of the Federation of Students does not necessarily coincide with the philosophies of the students it claims to represent. Furthermore, a number of us resent the actions taken by the executive and some students under this policy because they have impugned the good reputation that students- from this university have always had. This loss of good will may cost all of us jobs, alumni donations,. and research grants which help to make life a little easier.

. feedback I Irishman-not

a beginner

As an Irishman, and not therefore a beginner, as the authors and probably readers of your special St. Patrick’s Day supplement are, I would like to make some comment on your analysis of the presentIrish problem. I am motivated to do so by the most recent events in that country which go a long way towards underlining the simple errors you make. I do so also because it seems to me regrettable that you should have spent all your time on one side of the barricades (figuratively speaking, of course) and therefore present no less partial a picture of events than the media you so self-righteously criticise. It is a pity your ideological point of view (which is the only one you really seem to have) should have prevented you from noticing that not only behind the barricades are innocent people being subjected to senseless, unproductive, sectarian violence. The Donegall Street explosion this week underlines the fact only too well. Equally significant is the “official” I.R.A. description of it as a cruel, sectarian act, which shows up your blanket whitewash of the I.R.A. as the over-simplification it is. Let me say I have no quarrel with your general outline of the British role in Ireland up to 1921, or indeed with your criticism of the Stormont regime. What I do object to is your portrayal of the I.R.A. as a radiant saviour of the Irish people. Why I object will be clear from the following analysis of the current violence, different from yours, and, I suggest, more accurate. ( 1) After a long period of pointless Nationalist v. Unionist bickering and sporadic and abortive campaigns of violence by the I.R.A., there was initiated in Northern Ireland a most successful Civil Rights campaign, based on passive resistance, which was promising to achieve, peacefully, over a relatively short period of time, full civil rights for “Catholics”. This movement had the massive support of the British media and parliament,a support which has only been jeopardised by the subsequent campaign of violence, (Indeed, your depiction of the English role in the whole affair is a ludicrous distortion : there is nothing England would rather do than get out of Northern Ireland which is a financial, military and moral burden on her). (2) British troops were moved in to protect the “Catholics” from violent Protestant reaction to the civil rights campaign, and were enthusiastically w,elcomed by them. (3) The Civil Rights campaign had very sensibly taken the partition issue out of the debate. . However, the “provisional” IRA.-a hard-line, rightdwing, nationalist and sectarian ’ organisation-saw the danger that minority might the “Catholic” become reconciled to life in aNorthern Ireland which offered them full civil rights and a higher standard of livingthan the republic. It therefore set about injecting violence into the situation. No doubt there were genuine grievances against the Scottish j/

soldiers-in Germany too they have been in conflict with the local population. But the grievances in Belfast were not allowed to subside. Discontented, unemployed Catholic teenagers from the Ballymurphy estate were stirred up and got out onto the streets with stones and bottles. From there on situation has steadily the deteriorated, with all possible effort being made ‘by the Provisionals to escalate the violence. Playing on ancient fears and resentments, banking on their ability to crystalise opinion on any issue they wish, the Provisionals have built up a spurious popularity’ among the Catholic population as its “protectors”. (Just how spurious is the claim will, unfortunately, quite probably be seen before too long.> They have thus been able to lead moderate “Catholic” politicians by the nose, and even some not so moderate, such as Bernadette Devlin. The escalation of violence has forced the revolutionary, marxist “official” wing of the I.R.A. to join in despite its original pacific intentions. The aims of the Provisional I.R.A. are two: (1) to make economic life in Northern Ireland an impossibility and thus force the Protestant majority to surrender out of despair. (2) to bring about a situation -of total civil war by provoking a violent “Protestant” backlash. _ The callous, cruel explosions in the Abercorn Restaurant and in Donegall Street are in complete conformity with this end. As recent statements by the extreme “Protestant” William Craig, they are very near to achieving their purpose. “We have an organization that covers every part of the land. It must be used to build up dossiers on ‘the men and women who are enemies of this country. ‘One day it may be our job, if the politicians fail, to liquidate the enemy.” Let not your revolutionary zeal lead you astray: this is a spontaneous organisation of Protestant workers. And, as the official I.R.A. knows, when the “day” comes, large numbers of Catholics (and Protestants) will be massacred. But who cares, as long as all Ireland is coloured green on the -map? Not thevron, ,to be sure.

I found it particularly naive of you to have printed on the back page the statement by Bernadette Devlin, which has been left at least two years behind by the current of events (even if it was ever anything more than pie in the sky) : “The Unionists can struggle as much as they like to get back the support of the Protestant working class, but we shall get through to the Protestants in the endSome of them have burned down Catholic homes, but we will not allow our forces to terrorize the ordinary Protestant population. One, day they will real& we have no more quarrel with people who happen to be Protestant than with people who happen to be Catholic. They will see that our only quarrel is with the Unionist Party Government.” After the Abercorn Restaurant and ,Donegall Street, doesn’t that sound just a bit silly? It’s not Bernadette Devlin who holds the trumps in this game. Provisional I .R .A. violence is at its worst just now because of the urgency of forestalling any potentially reconciliatory legislation, and is aimed directly at “the ordinary Protestant population”. Finally, it must be clear that your analysis of the problem in terms of “economics” and “British imperialism” is no less an oversimplification than the “‘religious war” interpretation. It is no less conducive to \ the intellectual and moral complacency of those who accept it at facevalue. It is of course easy, from so far off, to impose one’s preconceptions on other peoples deaths-shoppers, students, passers-by, babies in prams. These deaths, incidentally, , far outnumber the Derry 13, and are even less justified. Why do you pass over them so blithely? I wish Chevron had tried a little harder to be lucid on this issue and had not displayed quite so much self-righteousness and complacency. Did you really know what you were doing? You give your approval to the men who ,planted the Donegall Street bomb (to cite but one example) which killed six people, at random, maiming and injuring over 130; Some of the responsibility is yours.

Ludwig von/ B-High

rise game

A few moments ago I discovered an issue of The Chevron on my desk, and remembered that I wished to send you my compliments for that particular issue, as well as some of the subsequent issues. I thought that your report on the Symposium on “The High Rise Game”, which was mounted by the Division of Environmental Studies was not only technically sound, but also extremely well written.

Paul Stuewe, who wrote an excellent piece on “Ludwig Von B.“. His, review of the newly recorded Andre Cluytens set of symphonies was first rate and showed thorough knowledge of the field. I hope that you will continue to publish such highly constructive articles which are a joy to read. I know that it is rather late to comment on an issue published some weeks ago, but I know from experience that compliments are always welcome, late though they may be.

Particularly, compliment

masthed. 8ng on 29 picqs Well folks, this is the next to last Chevron for vdlume 12, and that brings sighs of relief from many staffers. in many ways this has been a very difficult volume to produce, especially with the many internal problems experienced last fall and early this winter. anyway, this week’s staff has gradually been overcome by sickness (the colds are ferocious), exams (also ferocious for some) and apathy. polemics prevented another staffer from working to his-her normal level of production. staff meetings picked up last week with one late tuesday night and another Wednesday afternoon. out of those meetings the annual bureaucratic decisions were made. our new ad manager, who will help in trying to set up an internal ad department, is paul steuwe, a consistent and eloquent contributor to‘ this paper’s entertainment section. gord moore, presently photo co’-ordinator, has been chosen as production manager. both will begin working in mid-april in an effort to learn the necessary background information their work will entail. steuwe intends to continue writing his lucid record reviews, and moore sees himself getting into a few different areas of photography as a-sideline. the staff welcomes both people to their new jobs. on to the small group that brought you this demonstration-coated issue: in entertainment we had eenie angus, doug ing, john mcgill, paul steuwe, peter warrian, dave (the cub) cubberly, and me janet. the sp&ts’ department has been small all term, with dennis mcgann, ron smith and george neeland once again coordinating and contributing nearly aH of the. copy. our out-of-focus photographers (no offense, men) were gord moore, Scott gray (this summer’s photo coordinatpr), len greener (who manages to get most of the pictures the other photogs miSs), sergio zavarella (who took some fine pictures at Queen’s Park Iast’Tuesday) and brian cere (who missed this deadline night). The photo department is planning to install a new darkroom some time in may; this darkroom will receive negatives underneath the dobr and produce the required print through a feeder system in the mens’ washroom. if that sounds unbelievable to you, you should have talked to the photographer who let us in on the plans. we think he might have gotten the idea from the gazette, but that has been difficult to verify so far. speaking of the gazette (nice how things work themselves out, isn’t it?) it seems that paper has slipped into third place on this campus-enginews came out with another damn good paper last week. it would be interesting to know which paper had the most credibility after the recent misquotes in the gazette concerning moratorium day. Newsies have been editing and re-editing their stories a lot lately on the chevron; could it be that we are at last experiencing some sense of community among journalists on this campus? our news writers were una o’callaghan, mart roberts, boris prociuk, brute murphy, deanna who nursed george, george “sniffles” kaufman who succumbed, al Iukachko, Joe thornley a recent news department inductee, john keyes, cub and me. No thoughts for the week, so that’s about it. peace and a kiss to sniffles, plus a quack to all the ducks and duckettes at dumont who worked .on this issue. w.s.,
