Universities in Ontario appear to be entering a most difficult period: the provincial government is cutting support, and the federal government (which puts up around half of the money) is making angry noises. Fees are going up, it seems, with a massive 400 dollar increase\ for graduate students, and a lOOdollar bite for undergraduates. This is happening at a time when careeroriented students are beginning to despair that their expensive, time-consuming degree will not count for much in later life. Other, more academically-minded, students are sometimes appalled at the shallow irrelevance and low standards of some courses. Members of both groups, faced with fee increases, may opt out, or be forced dut. We do not claim here to have an answer to all of these problems. But we do have an - answer to the fee hikes. It is simple, workable, fair to all concerned, and positive in the effect it would have on the university community. It is this: Let the university absorb the full weight of the fee hike, and let it do this by reducing salaries of all faculty, and those in administration whose salaries exceed 10,000 dollars annually. It should be possible, too, _to effect economies in the general administration of the university. Understand first that this is neither unreasonable, nor a joke. The facts are these: ’ 1) The Province never “ordered” a fee increase. What it did, in effect, was lower its per-student support, and invitedthe. universities to recoup the amount through a fee raise. But they are not obliged to do so. 2) It seems to be the intention of the provincial government that the universities themselves pick up at least part of the tab. For example, in the Toronto Star(Wed. Apr. 5) we have: “Speaking to University of Western Ontario students, Kerr said Ontario universities do not seem to be so hard up finan-

cially that they cannot absorb some of the costs.” (of the Provincial cutbacks). That, as it happens, is the understatement of the year, for, 3) The average faculty salary at the Universtiy of Waterloo is 18,000 dollars per annum. According to semi-public university document, -263 (or 44 percent) of faculty earn in excess of this amount. We believe this document to be incomplete ’ because there are persistent reports that some 90 faculty members (not- mentioned in the document-) earn in excess of 30,ooO dollars. When you realize that faculty salaries eat up only about a third of the university’s budget, you begin to see the lack of necessity for any kind of fee hike at ‘all. 4) The part of the academic“community” that gets paid is expecting a raise this year. Except graduate students, of course. Their “raise” is of a rather different form.

5) An undergraduate arts student is, at present, worth about 1,700 dollars to the university per year. If the university were to absorb the fee increase this would mean a loss of 100 dollars on 1,700 dollars, or six percent. That is, the bite that need be taken out of faculty and administration pockets is only, on average, four percent.

Thus there is no need here for a wave of firings, for a “night of the long knives”. There is no need for anything but the recognition that salaries are astronomical in relation, in most cases, to the work done, or in relation to the positive results of research done to the Canadian community. Let us be clear here about two things: First: ’ academic salaries had traditionally, until recent times, been quite low, partly in recognition of the fact that the scholarly, contemplative life is an exceptionally pleasant one, and partly in recognition of the fact that scholarly pursuits are frequently obscure and arcane toI the lay mind. And it remains true even today that genuinely serious academics do not enter the profession for the money. Second: It is a sign of a second-rate, and not a first-rate, university that. enormous salaries are paid. The reason for this is simple: The first-rate attract by prestige. The second-rate university which aspires to first-rate status has only money with which to do this. But money is no substitute /for time, cultural fertility, and serious dedication, and they usually fail. Thus,_in this way at least, lower salaries would make for a healthier environment at Waterloo. An even more important reason for adopting this strategy is the feeling that would be created of having taken a first step toward community here. Students might begin to feel that they, and ,scholarly pursuits, were more important in the affairs of this university than the dollops of money extracted from the public purse, and now, increasingly, from them. So it is that we do not advocate storming Queen’s Park on behalf of “more dollar per scholar”. The taxpayer feels that he has had enough of ever-increasing expenditure on education, and he is right. Neither do we, advocate paying these extra fees as an exercise in increasing student power. (a la the Wright report). The idea that greater costs assumed ‘by the students will mean more power for them is nothing more than a stupid, cruel joke. Any display of student power in this area must involve the utter rejection of any fee increase at all. _

This is, furthermore, a fight that can be won. If a substantial number of students make it clear that you do not intend to return if the hike is instituted, then the hike will be rescinded, for the simple reason that more money will be lost through your absence than would be gained through a fee hike. There are still other reasons for insisting on faculty and administration pay cuts and economies as an alternative to higher fees: There are good reasons to believe that graduate students will leave in droves if their fees are doubled. And yet this is the generation of people we need (as president Matthews pointed out) to prevent the further takeover, by Americans and others, of the university. (He, of course, didn’t put’it quite that way.) Put bluntly, the question is this: Are -we going to finally fight free from our present colonial position and mentality, or are we not? If we are, then thriving graduate , programmes are a necessity. Where is the money to come from? Not, in its entirety, from the government. They have seen and heard too much about PH.D unemployment (caused, of course , by another piece of .academic irresponsibility, the sell-out of the universities+. The money is not going to come from the graduate students either. Many of them simply don’t have it, and others don’t careenough, in the light of their job prospects, to be bothered raising it. The.money must come from the faculty, which can easily afford it, and which bleats so loudly about excellence. They will need little reminding, we may hope, that excellence does not obtain without graduate studies and graduate students. We may hope. We suggest that any fee increase at all be regarded as unacceptable. We suggest further that any firing in the name of budgetary shortages are unacceptable, in view of the present over-inflated salary schedule. We suggest, finally, that students and faculty alike must struggle forcibly against a system designed to promote the interests of the financially successful few against those of, the wider community.

Radicals have not done homework:

Misconceptions in class consciousness .“Class, to the North American relates liberal intellectual, primarily to the subjective rankrecognition of an individual’s status held by his own peers.“, professor Leo Johnson told a ‘small gathering of faculty and students last thursday. The liberal “depends upon the measurement of the subjective attitudes of individuals as his basis of analysis.” The Marxist, on the other hand, relies upon a number of principles derived from objective, external experience. According to Johnson,\ while neither basis “creates a distorted or useless perspective, it is important- to recognize that serious the about misconceptions development of class in Canada have occurred in the conclusions of both groups which are the

Environmentalconference ’ set up for October Sometime in October of this year, K-W probe is planning on having an Environmental Conference with the theme of Blueprint for Survival. The idea of the conference will not just be to make people aware of the problem but also to define the goals which Canada should be aiming for and the steps towards those goals. It will be a five day affair with a different speaker and workshops each day. Probe hopes to obtain one main speaker, a well known on environmental spokesman problems, who may also deliver a speech to the K-W community. Presently, the plans are to have a different topic each day and the following titles have been chosen : +A Population Policy for Canada wanada and Economic Growth *Natural Resources *Citizens, Business and Government *Canadian Urban Environment Wherever possible, Canadian data and Canadian speakers will be used. The initiative for the conference came from the federation of students. The Federation has already put aside 5,000 dollars for the purpose of the conference and has pledged support _and help in

making it successful. Howeever, it is hoped that other groups will join Probe in this endeavour because a lot of work and more money will be required. To organize things five committees will be set up: steering, communications, speakers, logistics and K-W community involvement. The steering committee will coordinate everything and administer finances. Communications will look after all the media aspects of the conference. The speakers committee will take care of contacting, transportation, etc. of the speakers. Logistics will book rooms, organize the timetable, etc. The community involvement committee will try to interest and involve the citizens of K-W. Most of the planning, organizing and work will be carried out during the summer months. Students who plan on being on campus or in the area during this time are very much encouraged to participate. Probe will be looking for all kinds of help for this major undertaking. If anyone is even, slightly interested they may contact Probe at 3780 or in Biology 158a for more information. .

This group was recently formed on campus after models in other Canadian univeristies. Its primary function will be to present an open forum for the serious discussion and examination of ideas by both students and faculty alike. The accent will be placed on the struggle over ideas and their realization. The committee is set up with a’ ‘non-bureaucratic’ structure under the chairmanship of Professor Marie ArguellesCanive. Participation is invited from ‘anyone interested, “irregardless of political persuasion.”

“Most Marxists in Canada have betrayed the.first principle of the Marxist intellectual tradition-to be ‘scientific’: to know the facts, and to understand events within the particular historical context of their occurance.” Professor outlined Canadian stressing in the face production.

fired by university .

by lenn greener the chevron

Mrs. Hamilton, curator of the U of W art gallery was fired. She is a warm, friendly lady, who has been interested in the arts for many years. She is very interested in helping students in art. She and her husband, Ron, created the Doon School of Fine Arts in 1948. Their intention was to provide an environment in the area conducive to artistic development and appreciation. Ron Hamilton died in 1951. The Doon school was an unqualifiedsuccess. The K-W area has produced many fine artist, a direct tribute to Hamilton and her school. The school afforded an opportunity for the community’s aspiring young artists to work closely with professional artists. At the schools inception in 1948, three fine artists were hired as instructors. The school immediately attained a reputation for excellence which has persisted to this day. The credit must be attributed to the Hamilton’s and their dedication to art. The Doon School of Fine Arts was plaqued with financial difficulties. It takes a lot of money to operate such a venture. Artists are not known for being the richest people in the community. The school was soon in financial trouble. The only source of revenue the school ever had in its early years was the sale of the artists work. After a thirteen year struggle for survival, the university of Waterloo began to contribute 3000 dollars per annum (2000 dollars salary for Mrs. -Hamilton and 1000 dollars in insurance). Money was always a problem and by 1967 the financial state of the

(

school forced its closing. A very attractive offer was made to the U of W. The university could take over the school be agreeing to maintain it and provide a place for Hamilton to live in her home at theschool and paying her an annual salary of 3,000 dollars (2,000 dollars salary; 1,000 dollars insurance). The university refused. At this time all available money was being channelled into the optometry department. Francis Kirke, a first year fine year fine arts student, spent two summers at the Doon School of Fine Arts. She described the experience as “very positive”.

Hamiltonhad “the ability to approach

artists.” She acted as a positive catalyst in the artistic community by organizing field trips and facilitating interaction between artists and students. Her enthusiasm for art and Canadian art in particular was an all-pervasive thing that seemed to induce. creativity in others. She seemed to be always available to everyone despite the fact that she was travelling frequently around South Central Ontario visiting artists and arranging displays of their work.

‘.

the U of W art gallery in the same year. . The only negative reports of Hamilton’s performance in her new position stem from Paul Berg. She has no always acceded to his wishes on what should be displayed. She refused to put up a display of work by artists with physical handicaps as suggested by Berg. Some of their pictures might be good but 75 percent would be below the standard of the U of W. art gallery according to Hamilton. And handicapped people don’t want attention drawn to their defects; they want to be regarded as normal. She is only attempting to maintain her idea of excellence for the U of W gallery when she rejects Berg’s suggestions.

The Doon School of Fine Arts was sold to Earl Putnam in 1967. He hired Hamilton as director. Putnam was a very successful businessman in the K-W area. He brought this zeal with him to the new enterprise. Hamilton found it intolerable working for Putnam and she resigned from his employment in 1969. She accepted the part-time position of curator of

ESS

7 -

This past year has been what could be termed a productive one. Although only rated number two on campus the society has accomplished a number of firsts. . Perhaps the most successful project undertaken by the society was the publication of the first ESS student directory and handbook. Despite the fact that it didn’t come out until late in the year it does set a precedent for future societies. ESS was also behind the very successful “High Rise Game” held february 12 and 13. Several prominent personalities, including Hans Blumenfield and William Archer, gave of their time to make the “game” a huge success. Dramatics by Joe Curtain, the citizens’ participation made for an interesting time. After overcoming the odds with B. Moody ESS also installed the first 10 cent coke machine in its coffee shop. It has to date proved a very successful venture. In the field of campus politics ESS backed the architecture students when they demanded that building of the new extension to the social sciences building be reconsidered in the light of student needs. The group was successful in having the building plans changed to encorporate student needs. Another first which the ESS organized was the dark room and

photo supply outfitter. This proved to be beneficial to students requiring photo supplies for class projects and other things. Several of the constituent clubs also set precedents expected to be followed by later clubs. Trips to, Alcapulco, Miami, Quebec, City, Labatt’s in London took place and were enjoyed by most. However the society has elected its next year’s executive and they hope to be ready to repeat this year’s successes in the next year. Then, maybe then, ESS will be number one. It tries harder.

Scisoc. Scisoc undertook its course critiques on a major portion of all the courses in the science departments. The results are being compiled and will be ready for student use in September. Two deserving students received scholarships from the society. The society managed to put out six issues of the Bai-b. Books were brought and supplies purchased for the chemistry resource room in chem.11. Money was donated to the library to buy more books. The society sponsored Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Geology Clubs. It also sponsored the science entries in intramural hockey, football and lacrosse. Several members of the society sat on various student-faculty committees. Socially the society held -a student-professor wine and cheese party. The dean and a professor from each discipline gave a short .talk at this party. At the dinner dance Lister Sinclair gave an enlightening talk aimed at those who will be graduating soon and going out into the working world. As well as the dinner dance the society held fall and winter weekends.

“Ivory tower chicken \ power;” __ A new concept of vehicle pdwer and applied education. b.

by deanna

the chevron

kaufman

“Ivory tower, chicken ‘power” reads the ‘sign on the aging van proclaiming the virtures of chicken manure as a propellent of automobiles. But it’s not quite that simpleyou don’t go out to the nearest friendly farmer, offer to haul away his chicken or cattle manure and shovel it into the gas tank. H The manure-which’ -is processed into methane by a heating process-was the subject of studies done by students in engineering under the inspiration of David Kirk, sociology professor and director of field studies. Kirk, who seeks to get students and faculty as well involved in projects across disciplines, became interested in alternative ways of powering vehicles after reading about Kitchener public utilities commission’s decision to phase out the electric trollies on King St. Although electric trollies were cleaner, they seemingly had to go because of the city’s urban renewal project. They would b& replaced by diesel burning buses. He then remembered a report on CBS news about an english In.ventor, Harold Bate who was running his car on gas made from chicken manure. Kirk visited the inventor, a white-haired man of seventy-odd years, in his workshop and was convinced that the possibility of converting manure to methane was ,feasible. The methane could then by used in vehicles. Kirk persuaded the school of engineering to fund the project here and “chicken power” was underway. But the methane research is only one of Kirk’s concerns and interests as director of field studies. A slight, bearded man with a storehouse of energy, he focuses on a series of projects that concern the applicability of social: sciences to public issues. One -group is working with voluntary association members as potential leaders. The university people will give information in helping the group to organize themselves, but the burden of leadership is on the citizens. “That type of thing is the only viable role the community will

allow the university to take,” said Jim Robinson, one of Kirk’s associates who is now employed in inter-faculty studies. Kirk describes himself as action oriented but he says he does not want to tear the ivory tower down, but just to reduce the strain inherent in the university by cutting across specialized knowledge. “The modern university is so segmented that it probably can never be intergrated except at the administrative level, but you can start eddy currents of cooperation within the larger structure.” Development comes through awareness. So the posters on the van are to build awareness, Kirk said. He explained he has given up, the idea that manure conversion to methane is commercially applica ble in the industrialized world, but that it may be in the th!rd world developing nations. Kirk took the plans for a methane converter to Israel where he hopes it will be put to use on outlying kibbutzim.

The two projects undertaken here stress the practicality and use of recycling animal wastes to produce methane which can then be used for heating houses, running applicances and compressed in gas cylinders for use in automobiles, tractors or trucks. Mohammed Qaisar,’ graduate mecha nica I engineer, manufactured methane from chicken manure in a lab for the projectfunded by the university. In the first stage, the manure is doused with water and exposed to air for a week. The manure &then put in an airtight whichlookedvaguely like a large hot water heater. This stage in anaerobic with the manure heated to 80-some degrees. After a week the methane is produced. The methane in a pressurized gas cylinder can then be used to power any kind of automobile, according to Qaisar. Tubing from the cylinderis connected to the automobile’s carburetor by means of an autogas converter-a device developed by the inventor, Bates. A 40-pound gas cylinder contains enough methane to run a car 20 miles. But a larger cylinder of methane under higher - pressure would produce more miles per cylinder, Qaisar said.

It has been estimated that the waste of one cow or 200 chickens <per day is sufficient to propel Kirk’s van once around the ring road. Methane is much cleaner burning than gasoline. It gives off only carbon dioxide and water vapors and, according to Qaisar, is ‘more efficient than gasoline and better for the car engine. The second project done by six fourth-year chemical engineers used essentially the same process of anaerobic digestion of manure to produce methane gas. The students designed a methane digester for’ use on a loo-head dairy farm. By using the gas produced from the treatment of waste the farmer could save 1,300 dollars a year. The use of a farm-sized digester would also. reduce odor, soil and stream pollution and reduce the possibility of transmission of desease, said Bill Costigane, one of the students involved In- the, project. Others working on the design project were Gary McClean, Brian Younger, Jim Pinchin, Del Fraipont and Doug Edwards. The digested sludge which is the solid waste left after the methane has been given off, can be used as a fertilizer, processed for use as animal feed or as land fill.

Juan: &book

considerable popularity published in l965. Castenada had terminated his apprenticeship to don Juan and only returned to give him-a copy of the book. Don Juan was unimpressed, but Carlos was reimpressed enough to \resume his attempt to fathom the myster,ies of sorcery. The. second molume is considerably better than the first, though it is best-read in sequence. The, Teachings of Don Juan emphassized the drugs used &induce statesof “non-ordinary reality” and the rituals surrounding their preparation, wheras by the time the notes for A Separate Reality were taken, Carlos had realized that these were -peripheral matters. The task is to become a “man of knowledge” a.nd, most of all,to f‘see”. The knowledge referred tois not that -of abstract equations or platitudes iabout man but, that based on a personal experiential voyage through the world. Reluctant at first to speak since knowledge must be gained firsthand, don Juan consents to explain and talk to Carlos, yielding to his mania for verbalization. Through Carlos’ struggles to comprehend the system of reality which don Juan experiences we catch vital moments of insight into the nature of that experience. Castenada’s stubborn inability to catch on is perhaps more an index of his proximity to the inexplicable point of view than his inherent stupidity. In the same position we might become just as helpless, faced with the immediacy and perspicacity of an ineffable point‘ of view. Anything that ‘might be learned from this account and, indeed, there is much (including the Indian \

version of Nieno’s paradox) is only a pale shadow of the . ap’ prenticeship itself .( \ This bring: us to the inherent paradox in reviewing a book of this sort. The writing of it was contradictory ‘enough , but we are yet one remove from that. What is the point of a long treatise on the necessity for a personal experience anterior to any conceptualizations? Does one find the self at the end of a string of places and things? Icould only compound my ridiculous position by attempting to explain what don Juan i himself could not verbalize. Yet here we are, thirsting for breath that isn’t laden with smog. In a civilization that has lost the art of living, we live on a continent that refuses to see that loss, in an &institution that raises this blindness to life to a philosophy of myopia and an admiration of the mire in which we wallow. Don Juan is a man whose life was not ‘lived in such a world. His knowledge comes like a gust of fresh‘ air into a valley of sludge. Into the midst of the clockwork madness of men and machines, gears and blood, creeps .the suspicion that this is not all that has been, that somewhere men have lived proudly, walked tall in their time on the earth. “A man of knowledge thinks of his death.” , But who in our land can face the triumph of nothing over this staggering life? Who can answer the call away from the ‘mesmerization of machines to the innermost experience of the self, anexperience more terrifying than any we can imagine? Strength and courage are old ways words. They refer to old ways of life. 2 -This book is one of the few roads of access that we have to air und touched by industrial soot or ‘simple minded gregariousness. -ian

get those minnows out of the rhythm section lindy,, 1 ain’t you got no shame?

or,

don’t put no tuxedos on the funky blues! Marc Benno is probably most Familiar to you as Leon Russell’s collaborator on. the two Asylum Choir albums, but Minnows (A&M SP 4303) indicates that he is perfectly capable of independent work. Utilizing the fine crew of sidemen who seem to-have become A&M’s “house band,” including Jesse Davis, Jerry McGee, and Jim Keltner, Benno has produced a record characterizbd by the sort of assured maturity all too uncommon in the epheme&l world of pop music. The guitar work alone, which flows, shimmers, and weeps in the best Eric Clapton-George Harrison fashion, makes this a standout album, and the songs themselves (all written by Benno) are of exceptionally high quality. “Stone Cottage,” an electric blues strongly reminiscent of “Red House,” and Hendrix’s “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down,” which is simply the most beautiful ballad I’ve heard in six months of record reviewing, are two good reasons for wearing Minnows out in a hurry, and the remainder of the album is never less than engrossing. These boys can lay back, rock it up, or just play pretty with equal facility, and while they are sufficiently incredible on their own, a session with Rita Coolidge could also result in some memorable music. Meanwhile, pick up on Minnows; although it doesn’t seem to be smashing any sales barriers, it’s definitely one of the finest albums produced this year. Like Benno, Jim Price is also known primarily for his contributions to othe’r people’s careers, and Kids Nowadays Ain’t Got No Shame (A&M SP4321) indicates that this may be the most effective use of his abilities. Writing, playing, and singing their own material is a task beyond the reach of many more established artists, and while Price is an excellent arranger and hornman, he just isn’t dmnitalented.

cubberley’s moments Ai Dave Cubberley would say, however, the album does “have its moments : ” good brass writing here ( “Sunshine” ) , witty lyrics there (“I Can’t Help It”), and better than adequate support from the rhythm section of Nicky Hopkins, Klaus Voormann, and Jim Keltner. Unfortunately, Price’s rather feeble vocals often vitiate whatever excitement has been created; and since his songs seldom transcend mediocrity, one is left with the impression that he has worked very hard to acheive very little. But Price does have a contribution to make, as exemplified by his fine work on B.B.King in London. It ain’t no shame to concentrate on what you excel at, Jim, ‘cause kids nowadays don’t have much bread, either, and can’t afford to blow it oii albums of merely average quality. Another new release which seems to have been pretty well ignored by the rock press is Atlanta Rhythm Section (Decca DL75265), a sextet of Southern boys who do some interesting things in an “electric countryrock” vein.

Despite blood, ’ Godfather r)ises above genre

Brando’s “Don Corleone”-the Godfather-is no more than competent, but many of the minor roles in the film reveal “striking”performances from lesser-known actors, according to chevron film critic Paul Stuewe. It is also questionable, he asserts, whether thegraphic violence of the film is justified by the context.

The Godfather appears to be another one of those “blockbuster” films which is essentially impervious to criticism ; based on F~.IZO’S best-selling novel, and with the extra added attraction of Marlon Brando’s participation, it will likely appeal to the largest possible audience. And, remember, it’s from the same folks who brought you Love

Story.. . .

In these circumstances, the temptation to either “rave” or “pan” The Godfather is almost irrestible. My reaction, however, was rather mixed, and at the risk of forfeiting my minimal influence over your decision as to whether or not to see it, I’ll try to come up with a balanced assessment of its positive and negative qualities. In terms of what Hollywood defines as “production values”-a sense of historical period, appropriate fashions, cars, etc.The Godfather certainly reflects a very careful approach to the problem of recreating the past. One false note, such as the famous zipper on the back of Deborah Paget’s buckskin dress in Broken Arrow, can destroy hours of gradually accumulated authenticity; but there are no such discords in The Godfather, with each wing-tipped collar and rakish fedora contributing to that sense of “the past recaptured” which is the film’s most outstanding virtue. Director Francis Coppola’s use of some sort of tinting process also seems appropriate, with the yellowish hues of the film perhaps evoking a distancing effect similar to that produced by reading years-old newspapers. Now for the Brando problem. As fine an actor as this man is-and if he had done nothing more than A Streetcar Named Desire’s “Stanley Kowalski,” he would still deserve a place in film history-his “Don Corleone” in The Godfather is a no better than competent performance., This character is a proud but nearly senile warlord who slowly loses control of his “family,” and Brando plays him in the semi-catatonic fashion of the “Method Actor” who has no real insight into his role, relying instead on our tendency to equate expressive immobility with profound and, deep-seated emotions. . Don Corleone is also off-screen for much of the film, a fact which has inspired sentiments such as ‘Brando hovers over The Godfather like an eminenqe grise’ from the more impressionable New York critics. I found, however, that I simply forgot about him when he was not physically - present, this being at least pzktially due to the numb& of

truly striking characterizations contributed by lesser-known actors. -Foremost - among these is Al Pacino’s “Michael Corleone,” a very complex -part involving the transition from college boysquare to family chieftain-warrior. Pacino’s ability to convey emotional ambivalence throughout his struggle to subjugate ideals. to will is completely engrossing, and he emerges as the real “star” of The Godfather. Also noteworthy is Richard Castellano’s “Clemenza,“.who will kiss-your bride or tear your head off with the same impassioned fidelity to the survival of the Corleone family. Which brings me to the question of the violences and atrocities sprinkled liberally throughout the film. Not just gory shootings, mind you, for which the St. Vitus Dancedeath of Bonnie and Clyde has perhaps prepared us, but also stabbings, garrotings,, and dismemberments, presented in living’ color and with loving-attention to detail. O.k., they are “in the book”; and yes, they undoubtedly do happen in the day-today life of those who belong to that five-letter word beginning with “M”. The novel-to-film ’ transition, however, hardly - requires the explicit visualization of each ~ sickening , event, of which several examples-such as Charles Boyer’s facial reaction to Danniele Darrieux’s death in Mayerling-will, occur to the most casual film-goer. As for the “reality” of violence, the fact, that only “intra-group” murders are shown (violence against outsiders is discussed, but depicted only once in the form of a severe beating) is surely less than accurate. By implying that the M...only hurt themselves, The Godfather tries to encourage OUT acceptance of inhumanity by perpetuating the hoary Hollywood fiction that the bad guys always get it in the end. If you conceive of films as basically unreal, however, or if you get off on dissecting things, you will most likely enjoy The Godfather without any such ‘reservations. It’s well produced, well acted, and maintains a forward narrative thrust throughout its three hour-plus length. For me, however, these admirable qualities did not compensate for the number of times I had to avert my eyes or restrain feelings of nausea; and although I tend to view censorship as something favored by more-orless deranged minds, I would at least metaphorically propose that The Godfather’s godchildren’ be automatically @6rted .- L .--pad

Because-they are -super-cooled....

Bernard remains constantly inhibited until finally he reahzes, with the help of Joyce, that sex is really dirty after all and he should enjoy it for it’s owri sake. Jane, who would rather talk than do it, finds herself in conflict with the men who would rather do it than talk. The wilted, tragic flower of Jane is contrasted with the robust, vulgar flower of Joyce. She is the lusty maker of men who shuns the relationship. j While she points out herself that she often says one thing and does another, she was a most .accurate portrayal of the type .of woman whose physical attributes have played an important role in the - forming of her-outlook on life. Huey is experienced. He urges Bernard tq treat the ‘urban chick’ dirty in order to catch her off guard, break down her defenses and get at her. He explains “How do you think I could make it if I had‘ any respect for them (girls).” He becomes disillusioned when he finally meets a girl he loves, and all the time he is making it with her all he can think of is “wait till I tell the guys’.” In one of the best skits~hietries to. force his fantasies on, Jane. She is repulsed at the thought and in the ’ ensuiig action he ends up doing it to himself. This is probably the most trenchant comment on the true nature of our liberated sex of today. The skits are interspersed with comments from the dancer, which connect the idealism of love with - the reality of lovers. Further augmenting the acting and the wit of Fieffer is the room in which-the i acting took place. Humanities 180 is a relatively small rectangular room with the appropriate lighting -@iipment. There are sets of chairs on all’four .+ sides of the acting space. The room sits about 80 people and for the last two performances it was packed. The room is small enough so that the actors and their audience are very close and can hardly avoid the communication that takes place. At times the”’ audience must individually feel.; one with the actors.

Despite- the supposed liberation of Sexual today, people qe reacting to sex in much the same way as have generations, before. With all the talk of liberation we expect to find a more open and . straightforward approach to the subject, but in reality people have merely changed the form of their I continuing inhibitions and hypocrisy. . This trend is illustrated with exceeding wit and clarity in a series of sketches a-nd playlets by Jules Fieffer. It’s - you man ( woman), played for three days in Humanities 180 at the end of last month and was well accepted by those who were lucky enough to find it was on and attend the hourlong session. L The collection of playlets was billed as “a satirical collage on the sexual attitudes and behavior of people.” The quick skits dealt incisively with the many , stereotypes we hold about sex and even some. that are not so stereotypical. The open wit of Feiffer combined with the honesty and uninhibited abilities of the- five actors to cut through to the marrow of our ,hypocrisy and expose us .to our-’ selves. The humour presented was the essence of. true comedylaughing at ourselves. The audience reaction to the individual skits increased towards the end of the production and while this be attributable to the warming of the felatonship between the actors and‘the onlookers, it is more likely that as the plays came closer to our own personal experiences, we were forced to laugh as we saw a reflecton of our. own incredible but very human actions. ’ The playlets develop on many themes. The strongest of these in the boy-meets-girl falls-in-love, and all the consequent hassles of being ‘involved. L The comedy starts with the ephemeral dances and ode-like locution of Joanne Farmer, the dancer, as she describes the starting of love between two young people. -_ This -blends into the blissful . meeting of the inexperienced When we consider the quality of Bernard, Jamie Mackay, and the presentation that was made and timid Jane, Louise O’Leary. the applicability .of the content, we These two are juxtaposed\ must ask why this set of playlets against the other two actors in the was not better advertised and plays) the lbuxom Joyce, Carmel promoted.

All the news , that’s fit to print The academic year of 71-72 was a relatively quiet year. A marked decrease in student’ political action on campus was matched with increased involvement in off-campus affairs. It was the year of Oxlea in down-town Kitchener; the year we switched from unicame.ralism to bicameralism; the year of resignations and firings throughout the federation and the chevron; it was a year of mounting student frustration due to the lack federation involvment with the consequent deluge of demonstrations marking the new, more responsive council of Terry .Moore. \

The L faculty countered with charges of collusion between, the presidents of Ontario universities in that they were all freezing their offers at eight percent.

Within the week following the issue, Alex Smith, the editor was fired by the federation executive for ‘mismanagement of funds’. In order for this to stick, the move had to be ratified by the federation council. Federation president Rick Page threatened to resign if the motion was not ratified. Despite this, the council refused to give support to the firing. But this was not the end of the matter. Opposition to Smith was growing from within the staff of the paper. A significant portion of the staff -objected to the ‘elitist’ manner in which Smith ran the paper and demanded parity in the running of the paper. - At a staff meeting towards the end of , September, it was agreed that Smith should resign as editor but he kept on as paid staff in an advisory position.

The shutters on the old house flap on-their sprung hinges like a buzzard __ dragging itself sunward. What wings! What shutters! They beat in my skull!

I open my eyes and the birds and shutters fold their wings. The sun is digging among the ruins for lanterns; burnt grass and air confide by my knee. Insects slosh in the stale creek. Mute frogs float like corks. The wind strumming my hair is the loudest sound for miles.

Anything I say about this house is a. scab, is a pledge, is the wound’s slow answer to the retreating knife.

later. He asserted that bigger concerts were not going to solve the problems facing the students of uniwat. , While he may have been right, it is questionable as to the positive effects of his resignation. The haze cleared, however, when Sulliman ran for a council seat in the municipal election (with near-defunct ex-editor Smith as his manager-some institutions never say’die.). Low enrollment also became a problem in October. Not being able to foresee what was blatantly obvious, the university administration was surprised when enrollment did not increase like other years. Someone s hou Id,_ have whispered to- them the birth rate dropped considerable some years ago. Also wasting time in an authoritarian, bureaucratic, pseudo-academic institution is no longer in fashion. At any rate, the budget had to undergo cuts of upwards of half a million dollars. Cutbacks were felt in the library and in many academic programs. Also many teaching assistants and other university coolees got the axe. (No one seemed to have enough imagination to fire an administrator).

6. Resignations plague federation executive The fall produced a period of soulsearching in the remaining members of the federation executive. By the end of October the following had resigned: Larry Burko, director of

sandbox, Tony Wyatt, treasurer, Jim Boutelier, director of technical services, John Dale, member of the executive, Dave Gillick and Doug Baird, of radio Waterloo, Carl Sulliman, federation vicepresident and Rick Page, who offered to resign. There were cries that the executivehad been spoon feeding for far too long and that it was time to start getting students involved in the’ federation aga In. All the rantings proved to be little else than verbiage and the federation continued as before. Off-campus activities began to pick up in October. The provincial election was run-of-the-mill except for the commieanarchist candidate John Koop who livened things up with some theatrics, a few busts, and some neat T-shirts. The municipal election had a lot of student, ex-student dnd youth candidates. Few of these proved successful, and the Kitchener and Waterloo ‘candidates are safe from any threat to their continuing mediocrity.

7.Vote called on Oxlea At a second OMB hearing into the Oxlea development, the board rejected the city’s proposals and opted for a referendum to be held during the December municipal election. Despite the efforts of the antidevelopment campaign, the referendum showed that a slight majority of the people in Kitchener were in favour of the development. Students’ minds also turned to more international events. The Amchitka blast on November 5 drew massive but ineffective protests from campuses ‘all across Canada. The senseless ‘but very ‘human’ slaughter of persons in the Pakistan conflict hit the news during the late fall and everyone poured sympathy similar to that of Biafra-so where will it happen next? On November’2 a youth distributing political literature in the campus center, was prevented from doing so by campus security. In the ensuing scuffle, the youth was arrested for disturbing the peace. About thirty students who were in the campus c,enter then staged a brief demon-

stration in the security-offices to find out why the non-student had been arrested and what exactly the rights of people in the campus center were. Al Romenko stated he did not take his orders from the campus center board but from the president of the unjversity and that anyone who is not> a student needs permission from security before they are permitted to distribute literature of a political nature on campus. D.T. Wright and his Wright commissioners hit Uniwat in early November as part of their investigation of post secondary education. The commission was not too impressed by the briefs presented- by area universities and their attitude was a precursor of what was to come in the commission’s report in the spring.

l8.Library

hassle

cont.inue& In one of the more unfortunate lapses of intelligence of the university faculty and administration, the arts library affairs committee voted to give faculty back their special privileges for extended loan periods. Towards the end of November, smiles collectively crept across the faces of uniwat’s administrators. The occasion was the unveiling of the University af Waterloo Act. The new structure featured a 67-member senate, and a 36member board of governors with only 12 seats open to students in the whole structure. Their smiles were augmented by the fact that there wasn’t a peep from the federation or students at large. Students were so busy with their ice cream and dances they didn’t notice .gefting shafted. Just before the term break at Christmas there was a pamphlet war in the political science department. Students had been organizing to start a collectively run department. The particular reason for the pamphlets centered around professor C.H. Grant, a particularly authoritarian professor who was using compulsory class attendance as’a means of evaluating students. The political science union wished to have Grant, who was also un-

dergraduate affairs officer, removed from the position. A week later however, the department was further deluged by pamphlets opposing the first, calling it elitist. The beginning of the new term saw Philip Benevoy charged in connection with fraud a’nd mismanagement of Arts Society funds. The society’s activities and election had been marked with apathy during the past year. Apparently, Benevoy did his alleged missdoingsduring the summer when the rest of his council was away. The troubles became apparent when the federation had the arts society’s books auditted.

9.Campus elections January and February saw several sets of elections and a referendum which had the effect of intensifying the political action on campus. Campus center board elections were marked with apathy which in part was a result of their diminishing power. Their authority had been undermined for some time by Matthews. He had made the- building a separate department responsible to the president. While on the surface it could beargued that this would have increased efficiency, the end effect was to give far more power to the administration and further complicate the running of the building, as no one was sure who had the fina I power. In one case on particalar, the arrest in November of the youth distributing

political Iiterature~Al Romenko, head of security, said that as fiir as he was concerned the’ campus center board did not exist. Why would anyone want to run for a position on a body that is treated with so , Ii,tt le respect? *The same trend of undermining student independance and authority can be seen in the fees question. Administration forced the calling of the compulsory federation f&e referendum but never -pushed for ,an equal questioning of the athletic fee, of academic fees or of. the concept of control of the university budget. The closest thing to ari investigation of fees was the joint administt’ation-federl ation rion-academic fees committee. After meeting for several ‘mpnths the committee advised cutting the athletic fee. to the cost of intramurals only (about eight dqllars) and Jet the rest fend for itself. The committee’s report is still. before the president’s advisory council where, it will undoubtedly remain till ‘hell freezes over. When the federation referendum dibcome up in February, the good guys won with a four-fifths majority. Four students ran for the presidency of.-the federation: Dave Blaney, Terry Moore, Abie (Weisfeld, and boug Simp, son. In what was basically a two-way battle, ttie election drew the largest turnout since the activist days of ‘69. Moore won by610Qotes; 1,843 to 1;233.

The, report was a running set of glorious cqntradict’ions: stating one Jping and setting up structures to acdomplish just the opposite. The Ontario government combined * -the report with its felease of treasury board cutbacks in the field of grants to post-secondary education institutions. The effect is to decrease the accessibility to post-secondary schools. The library took another step by giving students more priveleges. For an experimental term the library permitted students to keep certain books out for the entire term-subject to a five-day I;^ recall. ‘71-‘72 was a bad year for architecture ‘students. During the summer they fought for honour architecture degrees they were promised by the calendar. The registrar wanted to give them general. environmental studies degrees. . ’ Duri’ng February they found out they were not going to get sufficient spa& in a proposed extension to the social sciences building. If this was not sufficient ‘to keep eberyone occupied, they became disgruntled with their direct& and attempted to oust him. The’ executive council compromised and gave the architecture school an extra seat on the division of environmental studies executive council. The person to occupy this se& ‘would be the chairman of the school’s steering committee, a governing body the. faculty ,and students ,established to fill .the gap in administration because the acting director, who is also the dean of en-

vironmental studies, was too busy to devote \adequate’time to the job.+-. Suzuki hit campus for the tiagey lecture series. He said basically what the Radical, Student Movement said in 1969-only not as eloquently.

1l.Dean CrosS *resigns March saw the integrated studies faculty disrupted from its slumbering anarchism with the resignation of dean George Cross as chairman of the senate council on integrated studies. Cross resigned following the decision of the council not to grant degree of bactielor of independant st,udies to Ross Bell and Mike Corbett due to procedural irregularities. The re&son for Cross’ iesignatibn was he had lost faith in the ability to actualization of the concept of an independant studies program in which the students have control of the ‘governing structures. The one thing that became’ clear through all the rhetoric was the reaffirmation I that IS ,was just another faculty, which was controlled by the senatexand not independant. _ Integrated Studies emerges as an adminiStration ploy to divert the enelr’gies. of radical students with the trinkets of self control and the baybles I of freedom. To completient the dramatics of .lS, the arts faculty ccjuncil presented the theatrics of Canadianization. The exercise in frustration was started 4 by s&iology prof Ron Lambert through a

UGAG convulsed over theproposal for a’few weeks, then passed it on to the Arts faculty council. Artsfac gagged on the issue for another twb weeks and then defeated the motion. The venture illustrated ,the obtuse reactionary nature of some faculty in that they did everything except address themselves to the tssue of the content of a ‘Canadian’ education.

12.Year erids with bang While it has been fairly accurately stated by a noted academic that life does not end with a bang but rather a whimper, the contrary happened with the yeat: ‘71~‘72. L The new federation executive organized a moratorium for Wednesday, March 22, to discuss the Wright co?mission report, the University -of Wate,rloo Act and any other matter pertainjng to the university or education. ’ The event came off well with many people attending. Towards the end of the afternoon it was suggested by expresident Page that the administration was responsible for many ’ of the problems facing students at uniwat and that they should occupy the administration offices on: the fifth floor of the library until Matthews withdrew the uniwat act from the Ontario legislature. The occupation lasted most of the night, with four arrests being made’% the morning. More demonstrations were made on thursday. The two days’ activities were a manifestation of the pentand alienation felt by the \ up fr&ration students after two years of apolitical federation executives, succumbing to the\ screws of an intelligent and relen-\ tless administration. This trerid does not appear to have too promising a futtire, however. The new federation, while it may not be successful at all it wa-nts to do, may be the watch-dog ttie students have needed for too long. ’

Beware! Scientian at work oh\ man(-khd) by David

Monoogian

If YOU took one “we1 I respected” scientist who has lost his intensity for logic, who has an intrigue for garrish fantasy, who extrapolates from his “data” to discourse on the ‘whole of mankind’, who claims (read discovered) the existence of the evil force in man’s world, and who holds out to mankind the only knowledge for salvation (“in the defining of a new and unique source of truth”), you are introduced to the bastard son of science and shamanism; Martin calls him the scientian, his practice, scientism. One may shudder at the thought of another ‘ism’ being joined t? the vocabulary, but this ism turns out’to be a dangerous, subtle ideology with which one should be familiar-and be warned. The impact of science (by science I mean to define it as a broad historical, cultural phenomenon) in the 20th century (with its myth of success, its adaptability to and blossoming through technology, its predominance as ‘the way’ its cultish knowledge) has opened up for itself in the social structures of advanced technological systems, a place of no small significance. The edifice of science takes on the appearance of a shrine, and although most people respond to it with awe, scientists consciously read from the shrine the conditions for their self-esteem. Some scientists, having experienced the affluence of legitimacy, have become ambitious. They’re not sitting on their lab stools anymore; their foot is in the doorand they’re selling some truly shoddy reductionism. Says- Martin, “Scientians, use the platform of their preeminence to catapult, to the new absolutism of scientism.” The scientist as shaman (scientian) is becoming the new response to what Martin posits as a soundly universal need need for sureties, for of men, a explanations of the puzzling and mysterious, for explanations which give meaning to, and make sense of, various phenomena in rngE’s world. Therefore we -witness a coincidence of th.is need with the development of scientific knowledge in all its preeminence and legitimacy. The scientist as shaman is an apt description. Martin makes it quite clear that tti’e scientian has become other-th’anscientist; further he shares certain characteristics (as he goes about his ‘work’) which-equal (but more likely go beyond in presumptudusness) those of earlier “explanation-givers” such as shamans, wizards, _oracles, priestly and clerical castes; they are dogmatic absolutism, claimed omniscience, and

mystic

privelegi;.

“ If’men were to accept as gospel the total scientian imbrication of hypothesis, prejudice, thoughtlessness, and wishful thinking, then into the heart of human society they would have accepted a time bomb that surely would reduce society to the status of amino acids.” .

The Scientist as Shaman Malachi Martin ’ Harpers (March 1972)

But the crucial distinction to make (one which Martin understands but fails to state) is that this new shaman is no mere shaman at all: whereas ‘traditional “explanation-givers” (spch as those listed above) had a specific ‘realm’ of influence and responsibility, and their task was “fundamentally a.question of explanation, of answering impossible questions”, scientians neither pretend an,y limita‘tions of realm, nor do they tolerate preoccupation with the ‘impossible’. Fanciful explanation is ceded to outright proclamation and the impossible, inexplainable is ceded to the practical solution (read scientific) of all of mat& problems. The scientist as scientian (and not as shaman) has become ‘crusader’. The scientian encompasses all! New premises, new fantasies.

“All true scientians are engaged iri a gentlemen’s crusade to Ii berate man from the toils of superstition, animism, outmoded clerical domination and all prescientific / unscientific / non-scientific moralities. and systems.” The quote from Martin fairly, precisely indicates the essence of scientism and becomes the basis ‘for the scientian prescription which will eventually lead to the total obliteration of “whatever evils bedevil our 20th century i! the form bf ignorance, poverty, aggression.. . and in general those distressing factors of the human condition that former religious and ethical systems failed to uproot.” The prescription then? “Man must turn around

and control

the force

that

controls

him .” ---_-

Claimed Privelege

Omniscience

and

Mystic

Witness th e illogic of the scientian logic! Says Martin, fortunately for us “the means of control...the scientian just happens to have and that we are told will surely deliver a saving counterforce.” It is the logic of an obsessed ideologue; define (create) the ‘problem’ according to your own premises (and fantasies), which ‘just happen’ to be the premises of the total solution, and then offer to mankind the allencompassing solution. The solution is to be found in and through science, or more precisely in this case, what passes for ‘science’ and in that only! For the problem is that mankind has deceived himself for 6,000 years with clap trap, a clutter of “prescientific/unscientific/ nonscientific moralities and systems. “The panacea varies according to each scientitin, but the theme is dogmati$lly the same; we must seek and accept in science the only control necessary and sufficient for man.” Hardly a comforting proposition! ’

The

New

Covenant

The new covenant will call for abandonment of virtuaJly everything that man knows and has come to trust. The religiosity is evident, everything must stand to the judgement of the new makers. The new covenant will be a ‘scientific’ covenant; its laws will be the canons of science (again what passes for science); its dictates (mandate) will be order and efficiency. All must be remade according to the covenant, and if it cannot be reshaped sc;ientifically, then it will be removed, discarded as the illusion it (then) must be. One thing should be clear-in all this bogus ‘if it isn’t scientific (amenable to logic, ‘science’) then it quite simply isn’t! All these proc’lamations stand (and fall) on the belief that “outside the realm of science there is nothing to discuss... nothing beyond what can be observed by scientific means.” (Or, let’s quit the millenear bullshit and face the facts-our facts, the ‘real’ facts!) The absolutism amounts to nothing less than a betrayal of science itself. The forces of evil have been identified, or more appropriately, the truth has fulfilled itself through the most “deceptive, manipulative” kind of logic imaginable; the scientian states (unabashedly) that if he .cannot comprehend it through ‘science’ (for of course, science is the only way to truth) then it must be an illusion; if it is an illusion then it only serves to bind man to faulty institutions, to control him; if it controls man in this way, then it is one of the evil forces which ‘science’ must eradicate, suspend, complete! And thus we will be free. Having shaken off all the myths and illusions (such as dignity, liberty, freedom, hope, love, feeling, trust, responsibility, creativity, intuitive knowledge, aesthetic experience, metaphysical knowledge???) we are free to be “freed from the institutions that nur-’ tured the absurdity of such concepts.” Says Martin, ‘I... in the circtilarity of logic, we are free of freedom and therefore free to put ourselves into the hands of total control .”

The

Betrayal

Scientism betrays! In more than one way. Its language is steeped in animism, its appeal an extreme idealism resembling fanaticism, its promises perennial; all of, which scientism rejects out of hand as properties of the ‘problem’ they will ultimately resolve. Betrayal.

Scientism betrays the very foundations of scientific knowledge, “They gloss over their illogic, presenting their own fantasies as fact, passing deceptively and selfforgivingly from a conditional “would be”, or “might have been” to a very dogmatic and assertive “was”, “is”, or “will be”. What they attempt as scientians, they cannot be granted as scientists. Betrayal. “Scientism betrays man. about whom it pontificates by threatening the integrity of his thought.” They would have mar! accept their premises, logic, and all the implications; they would reduce knowledge to mean scientific knowledge; they would deny man his right to experience the diversity and depth of his meaning as ‘man’wisdom. Betrayal. We h-ave to be amused by the grandiose schemes, fantasies and elaborations of the scientist turned scientian. One can argue a strong case, as d:oes Martin, that no body of scientific knowledge, in any field of science, exists at such a level of sophistication that would allow the envisioned dream of scientism to realize itself. (Even the very nature and structure of ‘special ized’ science is a strong argument against it.) And one can hardly be inspired by scientism, as it builds itself upon the most despicable, deceptiveillogic possible. Here one, should find it difficult to grant them seriousness. However it would be presumptuous to be reassured by this. The danger of scientism is ‘that it exists, that it is aggressive, that it is producing a new brand of ideologues. Someone listens to ideologues, someone accepts their ‘truths’, regardless how inadequate they may be in terms of ‘strict science’. And the things they are selling ,are the most regressive goods in the history of man. About this much more could be written, but this at least should be said, something Martin anticipates but omits: Beware the

jocktalk~ The athletic advisory board and the federation’ of students has decided to stage a face-to-face confrontation. The incjdent is set for late April and the outcome should prove interesting. We all know that the students are footing the major portion of the athletic financing, and we all know that students are the major participants in athletics events.. . both as participants and spectators.. . . but, does that mean that students should c.ontrol some of the decisions? We’ll just have to await the outcome of the joint meeting to see what is decided. As the Ontario government increases taxes and moves us ever so swiftly towards socialism, we wonder if the university of Waterloo wilt be into the same thing and start getting as far away from democracy as they are allowed. The student input on the AAB is nowhere near representative when decision making is considered. As a matter of fact, the AAB hasn’t really got that much, power, just last term the president vetoed one-of their major rulings which - involved raising fees of faculty for the use of athletic facilities.: Whatever the case, we know what should happen and we know why, but lately that doesn’t seem to make much difference.

Amateur

Sports

Over the year we have been saying a ,lot about amateur sports, trying to keep away from the pro side of things. If we wanted the entire paper, including the news section could have been filled with NHL hockey. While many puck crazed Canucks wouldn’t mind this, others, namely us, think there is a lot to amateur sports. This includes not only the college scene but also the amateurs all over the earth. John B. Kelly, Jr., the president of the Amateur Athletic Union also thinks a lot of the unpaid sportsmen. However, he thinks there must be a change in the amateur world. In a word Kelly wants the best in the world competing _ against the best-pro or amateur. The following are some of the points he made recentlv. code, The amateur promulgated during the Victorian era, was originally intended to protect the gentleman athlete from associating with professionals. Because professionals earned their livelihood from sport, they devoted more time to-training and were more proficient than am,ateurs. Without competition between the two, the gentleman athlete did not need to expose himself to defeat at the hands of a social unequal. . “Today’s amateur however, is rated on the basis of performance, not social class and he must devote several hours daily to his sport. It is common for a swimmer to practice from four to seven hours each day, for a trackman to _ run 150 miles a week,-. and for a diver to practice three times a day. He is in no danger of being victimized by someone better trained. “Unfortunately, despite the change in status for the amateur athlete, the rules that govern him have not changed. They fail to take

’

into account that amateurs are no longer merely gentlemen finding something to do in their leisure. Amateurs have become extremely serious athletes intent on bettering existing records or improving performances, and are prepared to devote time to the practice sessions necessary t0 achieve those ends. It has long been apparent that the code proclaimed in about 1896 does not apply today. But amateurism has its own imperatives, based on this archaic definition, and the old , rules still stand.“The outcome of this failure to modernize is nothing less than a system that encourages cheating, condones dishonesty and sustains hypocrisy. Virtually no one lives up either the letter or the spirit of which is loosely known- as the “amateur code”. There is, for example, a very stringent rule against amateur athletes taking advantage of their athletic fame for economic gain. It is ignored, of course, because it is virtually, impossible not to reap some benefit once one has achieved fame as an athlete.” While very few university amateurs gain enough fame to make lots of money, there are some if they become the best, outside the system, to eventually gain this. N,ancy Greene, Elaine Tanner and Petra Burka are all working for the CBC sports team covering Olympics and national championships. They also are the figure head for --fund raising and many other campaigns, ‘commercial or non-commercial’ advertising. Who is to say it is really wrong. They do create an interest in amateur sports In the university scene, even at Waterloo, our athletes do practice long hours to become, or at least strive to become the best. While the time spent in an activity is just . one factor m producing a champion, it is very likely that the athlete who trains four hours a day will become better than the one who just occassionally laces on the swim suit or runners. But again who is to say that it is wrong to train as long as one desires? There are some who are spending half their unjversity fife plugged into the math computer At any rate there is a fine line in many sports between the pro and amateur. In some the amateur is the best but the opportunity for the best to compete, outside possibly only tennis, is impossible at the moment. Some have called for an open Olympics. This may be a good idea for the ideals of the Greek Olympics are all but dead and so is amateur athletics as we know it today. The closest we come to true amateur athletics is intramuralsand even. that is kind,, of ‘professional’ at times. The question of who is an amateur and who a pro is not easy to define and the chances of having a world body establish a code’ is more new ‘amateur unlikely.

charts. The second system is to bet on the jockey. In this respect racing fans around Ontario., have been spoiled for a long time. For years the man to bet on was Avelino Gomez. Who or what he was riding made little difference. . . . . . he won a lot of races, and so did, his followers. Gomez was succeded by Sandy ‘Hawley who has also won a lot of races. Hawley and Gomez both are in the big money below the border, and odds that Gomez, won’t be back. Hawley, however may be around when the weather and bettors get warmed up. With Hawley’s absence went the system of betting on the jockey. The riders on the circuit are too evenly matched at present which makes winning a bit harder and a little more interesting. After eight days of racing, Robin Platts and Jim Kelly both have six wins followed by Jim McKnight and Lloyd Duffy with five each, and a host of riders with three or four. ln terms of percentage, John Dolan leads with three winners in six mounts. NOW, how to bet.. . . . .the best idea still is the charts on past performance and the state of the track, but Duffy, Platts, McKnight and Doolan lead the list if you bet on the jockeys.

Munro money Health and Welfare Minister John Munro is giving out the money again. Last week six teams got a total of $101,748. The money is to go into a special pre-Olympic training camp for athletes and cover travel expenses incurred by delegates attending annual meetings and international conventions. In all basketball gets $26,620, volleyball a big $62,000, ten pin bowling $918, figure skating, $2,850, lacrosse $2,680, the Canadian Association of Sports Sciences $6,680 while the Chevron Waterbabies received a little less than $480,261. Word has it from very reliable sources that the Waterbabies are fanning out across north america on their annual recruting drive. The team members will be playing solo matches in the hope of spurring interest in anything but tubing.’ As that ’ nifty

locksnatcher lpps ’ Snark said, “Hell, like if they’re so good try something else. Tubing is for amatures who don’t know the meaning of the word.” At any rate, on a less serious vain, only time will tell if the Waterbabies get invited to ‘76 Olympics. Also out of Munro’s office more money is /going to recreation grants. Included is $2,000 for the Canadian Cycling Association to travel and live at a two day meeting in Ottawa. It is hoped that a national organization for those interested in bicycling on a noncompetitive basis will be formed in the light of the bike boom. Another $6,000 is going to assist in the preparation of a “Learn to Ski” manual for children by the British Columbia Recreation Association. It is supported by the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance and will involve a training session for members of the Alliance. - .

Jockjottings Well, Vida Blue finally signed. Last Monday he put his signature to a contract which had no inclusion of a reserve clause and insisted, “I’m not a crazy, mixed up kid.” The contract wasn’t to play baseball for the Oakland A’s but to begin a movie career in a black detective series called “Shaft”. Well, another national champion has added to the growing list of warriors taking national top positions. This time it was not another wrestler but a trackman. Triplejumper Bill Lindley went down to the-snow bound city in Quebec to defeat all other national contenders. Bob Murdock, former warrior hockey captain finally got enough time on the ice to pot a-goal for the Montreal Canadiens. During the past season,, Bob has spent more, time on the road between the Nova Scotia farm team and Montreal than he did on the ice for either practice or playing. But the 01’ cap’n put one in there and we were all cheering, weren’t we? Warriors diver Lester yewby did some board bouncing in Toronto last weekend at the provincral one metre competition placjng sixth overall.

Last week a Toronto newspaper said Judy Crawford, one of Canada’s best skiers has applied to Waterloo. The Chinese table tennis team played before a packed house in Varsity arena last night. Earlier in the week they toured Niagara Falls’- played an exhibition match in Ryerson, and then tripped to Gravenhurst where they not only played in the local high school but also made the students play and gave them some points of advice. At the Top of the World Ski-Meet in lnuvick no word on how things are going after two full days of competition. Last info we had though was that the snow was getting a little crusty. Seeing this is the very last this column will be appearing in the Chevron and its quite late, not only in the year, but the night, we have decided to make some candid. predictions. @There is a fairly good chance that the university crowd will be blessed with sports next year. l We can also predict, as accurately as anyone can, that for tfie majority of the-teams it will be a rebuilding year. Coaches that end up less than number one will be the very first to tell you this. l There is -also a better than average chance that all basketball’s used by the Warriors will be high on air. l The rugger team, who were almost as quiet as church mice this year will want equal time in Seagram Stadium. Naturally they will be allowed to use the facilities between 1 am and 5 am but won’t be ab_le to find the light switch. l Everyone will have a happy time doing their thing-whatever it may be. thatisitthatisall. ’

On the flats If you don’t count those happygo-lucky souls who pick the horses by throwing darts at numbers on a b.oard, there are two main methods for picking winners. The most common, and the one th,at makes most sense, is to bet according to past performances

Within this pictureis hidden a former wairior hockey coach who although not handling the team this year is still hiding somewhere within the jock building. To the sharp-eyed oldtimer who can recognize and report the nahe to the chevron office will go two (2) piastres. First official respondent will get the prize, no 1 consolations.

All the sports...

Field llockey Basketball The Athenas basketball squad ran int0.a little tough luck this spring and missed the playoffs which were started here in the physed complex. The gals ended the season in a third place tie with Windsor in the western section of the OWIAA and were dropped to the consolation finals. With some hot shooting the’ team downed Guelph, Queen’s and Windsor to take the consols. Early in January the team were tripped up by Ottawa in the semi-finals at the McMaster invitational. Next year the team will be hitting the courts without their star guard Jan Meyer, who graduates, but should come out strong with their four outstanding rookies of this year returning with experience plus.

Golf

Swimming The girl’s final syncronised swim meet was held in Windsor in february. Mary Ann Finn placed 5th in figures and Karen Gibson placed 8th. Mary Ann Finn also placed 2nd in the solo competition with Karen taking 5th. Waterloo entered two duets. The duet consisting of Karen and Mary Ann pulled a fourth for their event. The other duet which was made up of Jennifer Cawley and Marg Love came 12th. Overall, Waterloo fared quite well by placing 3rd.

’

The golf team slipped another notch on the OUAA championship pole this year. If the club swinging, ball hitting types continue their present pattern,, they will finish in third place next year. In the fall of 69 the warrior golf team won the OQAA Golf Championship. The following year (70) the club swingers slipped another notch, they finished in a tie with Queens for the championship. In the fall of 71 the ball hitters, not wanting to spoil their pattern, slid once again, this time to second place. Coach Jack Pearse is hoping that this pattern will be reversed by the end of next fall’s season.

Curling Women curlers make it three in four years. The Athena curlers-won the OWIAA CurlingChampionship for the third time in the last four years. The task of winning did not come easy to the Athena foursome. Skip Barb Dowler lead her team to victory over Queens, in an extra tie breaking game. The Athenas went into the sudden death game as the under dogs since Queens had beaten them in the regular round robin play. Only one member of this years team will not be back next year. Barb will be doing the graduating thing while Anne Mallon, Brenda Grant and Allana Chipps will return to defend the championship.

In the fall the field hockey team completed their season with an impressive 61 record which represented an impressive 2nd place win behind the University. Next year the team promises a stronger attack with the hope of toppling the Toronto dynasty. . The Athenas bid a fond adieu to Nora Bahry and Jan Meyer two excellent players who have contributed more than just playing ability to Waterloo.

who has been the annual winners, for what seems to be a century, and Western topped Waterloo. What is more remarkable the- team jumped from sixth to third in a single

Tennis The 1971 Athena Tennis team travelled to Carleton to compete in the OWIAA Championships. The first and second singles competed here with the doubles team being eliminated in earlier competitions. Overall U: of W. finished seventh.

Swimming

Squash The squashmen went into many preliminary competitions to sharpen for the OUAA tournament. In most they proved well but continually were downed by the teams from Western, Toronto, and York. As expected they could not prove strong enough to overcome these stronger squads and placed a well earned fourth in the conference.

Fencing Fencing is now in to its 3rd year at u of W. Bob Fiazer and Frank Wittler coached this year’s squad. The girls entered a tournament at the u. of T. on Dee 4th. Colleen Boggs, Judi Hurst, Kathy Rushiner and Judy McNabb fenced against Toronto, Ryerson, Western and McMaster. In a follow-up tournament in January u. of W. was disqualified due to a, failure to have a full team of 4 fencers. This coming year u of W will not enter a varsity team in fencing competition but will be entering competition outside the university in hopes of building up more interest in fencing.

Even though it was a rebuilding year for the swimmin’ women after winning two consecutive league championships, the squad still managed to send three team members, Chris Lutton, Debbie Farquhar and Judy Abbotts to the Nationals in Fredericton, N. B. In the provincials at York the team came home fifth but was a threat for third right up to the final relay event. At the meet the girls set new metric team records in every event-fourteen in all. On top of this, scores of personal best performances were registered. Over the season four new yard team records also fell. Laura Foley holds the 200 yard backstroke, while Judy Abbotts registered new times in the 50 and 100 yard butterfly events and the 400 yard individual medley. Judy’s records were all posted at the Nationals. Twelve new swimmin’ women bolstered the seven returning Athenas from last year’s squad. Records are made to be broken and this year’s Warriors swim team decided to rewrite the record book. All but two team records went by the boards over the six month schedule showing that the team is still driving for first. After probably the hardest dual meet season of any Canadian team, winning 11 while dropping eight the squad placed third in the OUAA championships held at McMaster. This was the best showing in the four year history of the team. Toronto,

season yet only one member made it to the CIAU Nationals showing that it was a solid team effort. In just the provincial championships alone seven team records and 70 personal bests were set. Captain George Roy, a veteran swimmer with the squad, was the only Warrior to make it to the Nationals at Laval. After a long, long, long trip taking twenty hours, and really three days, swimming was the last thing anyone wanted to do. Next year the squad. should be just about as strong, with only Doug Lorriman running out of eligibility. Word has it that the men will be facing the fighting Irishmen, Notre Dame and Kent State just to name two big squads from south of the border next year while the gals will be going up against the very best in North America at the Waterloo International.

Track& Field The trackmen took to the indoor boards after another successful outdoor season which saw them once again claim the conference title. The trackchicks also took top honors outdoors and fared well during the winter season. Although not too concerned about the college competitions which provided minimal competition, the team took two gold and two silver medals at the provincial championships. Bill Lindlet _ and Dennis McGann repeated their double win in the OUAA with two victories at the Ontario senior open indoor championships. Lindley

McMaster and Toronto, for a share of second place but lost their chance for a final play-off spot due -to their win-lost record. followed up his win with a national championship in Quebec City two weeks later. Bill was the only warrior to win the top national honor when many of his’team mates stayed home due to academic I pressures. The two Ontario silver medals came in the hurdles events as George Neeland and Marlene Peters were outsprinted by Ontario athletes in their respective events. The loss to the team will be small as the warriors head into another season next fall without the services of Dennis McGann and javelin thrower Terry Wilson. OUAA 400 meter champion Al Monks and national team member George Neeland will return with a host of freshmen who have shown vast improvements this season. The women’s track-squad will see only additions to the team as the young group will return once again to attempt a repeat of their first victory.

Volleyball

The Athena volleyball teati started the season off by winning the tournament held at Queen’s. Ten games were played during this tournament and nine were won. ’ In the Western Division of the OWIAA the Athenas placed second to Western. The girls won all their league matches except the tVvo that they played against the strong Western team. During the season 43 matches totaling 111 games were played. Of the 43 matches, the Athenas won 34 taking a total of 78 games while loosing 33. In the OWIAA championship round robin play at McMaster, the Athenas tied

Year.

Resume

The group lost a few dual matches on their way to the OUAA tournament, but at the conference encounter entered ’ the fray with a full battalion and emerged once again on top, but this time alone in the position. Pat Bolger, John Barry, Don Spink, George Saunders took CIAU titles in their weight divisions. Bolger and Barry took top honors once again in the CIAU championship as Scheel, Spink and Saunders placed second in the nation of university athletes. At the nationals (Olympic trials) Bolger, Saunders and Barry once again came out, on top and are now top contenders to represent this nation at the summer Olympics.

Basketball Everyone’s hopes to-‘&e the Warriors basketball squad trip to the Nationals were quickly dashed last month. The ‘locals went down to defeat by half-abasket, 83-82 to Windsor, in a sudden death .playoff match here. The team under the guidance of coach Don McCt-ae had a very successful season overall however. Their wins far outnumbered thejr losses in league play. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case for the swing through the southern states where they came back to Canada without a win. The experience of the trip however paid off in season competition. I Next year there will be a number of new faces in the linedp as graduation takes more than one into the working world. Jaan Laaniste, winner of the Totzke Award, is the one ace who will be hard to replace. This season he came second in the OUAA western league scoring.

Where do we go from here... another men’s track and field championship in the fall (to go along with the fir,st one for the chicks), coincident with a football lo& (again). Anyway the dissension within f that ball squad seems to have disappeared and the guys say they had a good time-that’s really what its all about. Then, another wrestling victory, wornens curling... There still seems to be little communication between the playing-jocks and the administrating-jocks. The intercollegiate councils don’t have very much final pull, but the women are a lot closer than the guys are. When the athletic budget can get through the AAB as fast as it did this time, stops have to placed somewhere; maybe the joint AAB-Federation of student meeting will do something. What the hell, from this angle the whole thing seems pointless when one considers, that athletics on the intercollegiate lev,el has no business in this institution in the first place...no sir, and if the students pay for it to continue, they’re crazy. Nowhere near their money’s worth is returned. Especially since Totzke gave the staff a raise this year...what with his bitches about tight dough and all...it just doesn’t’ come together. To say now that the whole thing is over and I’m glad to be out of it, is just as ridiculous ‘cause out there the people are getting into a professional sport thing

which boggles any mihb. A baseball pitcher worth 200 thousand bucks? and striking for m&e dough...that doesn’t come together either. The whole sport scene as it stands now, stinks. Somehow we’ve got to get back to where people had a good time and really were involved. I sMy suggestion would, be to turn the whole program here over to Peter Hopkins and tell him to get rid of all the

trophies and point systems, he’s been doing one helluva job and has built the intramural program here $0 the point where it now stands as the best in the country &d he’s still going, beyond that aspect, where /do we go from here, probably down. Before the next season starts, the whole department, including athletes and the federation should come .to some common decision on the role of athletics and the goals. There has to be some discussion among all concerned before budgets are set and decisions made...if everyone gets together, spQrt can find its place in this community, presently its wandering around in the dark trying to find a place to warm the bun.

1 Trots trundle traditior&ripe Concerning the Queen’s Park demonstration last tuesday against’the Wright report and the ij. of ‘W. Act and Al Lukachko’s description of it in the last Chevron, I would like to clarify some points. Since the occupying of the legislature was a spontaneous event there was a good deal of/

disorientation and confusion going around and no idea of what to do. In particular the role of the Young Socialists (Trotskyists) was under those circumstances misrepresented by some students and slandered by the I action freaks. The Young Socialists (YS) at the beginning advocated that we all meet in the foyer and sit

down. The discussion that followed the beginning of the meeting in the foyer-took a vote on whether or not to stay inside or to go out to the steps. The vote was essentially tied and the chairman, a U. of T. Students’ Administrative Council representative, Bret Smiley, failed to keep the meeting organized enough to hold a

curtly c arifies

Several points in this letter require clarification; from-the outset Bret Smiley made no attempt to run the meeting on a democratic basis (other than paying homage to the concept of democracy with his rhetoric). He consistently manipulated the chair position, which in democratic procedure is supposed to be a neutral post, to get the people out of the building as quickly as possible. He made no attempt to raise discussion on any of the actual motions placed on the floor, and moved immediately to a vote. At no time did he identify the party making the motions, nor did he have them speak to the question. He made no attempt to set up a p.a. system with the bullhorns, nor did he try to slow things down so that the demonstrators could begin to think about the issues at hand. It is from this focal point that the group dynamic which moved the protest outside issued. The general fa-ilure of the demonstration grew out of the actions of everyone involved, but not equally so. In large part responsibility for this failure falls squarely in the laps of all of the vanguard political parties involved. A vanguard party is a centralized grouping with a structured political program. It is characterized by a particular and wide ranging analysis of socialpolitical-economic-cultural activity which it publicly presents as the only valid way of interpreting the world. The vanguard party’s position on contemporary events is arrived at by applying a set of universal principles, provided by one or more ideologues to these events. The ‘line’ of the party is clarified in private and presented as the unanimous opinion of all members in public. The party regards only internal criticism as valid criticism, and never washes its linen in public. -. . Membership in the party is achieved by taking on, without exception, its major tenets and affirming them at all times in public. The nature of the party’s public activity has several facets and two distinct phases generally. At certain times it engages in the formation of diverse ‘front groups’ which overlap in membership and share in principle with the party itself. During this period there is a general formation of ‘tentative’ alliances with other ‘progressive’ groups, wherever ‘significant’ agreement over the holy tenets can be achieved. This type of tactic allows for the dissemination of the party’s ideas and a recruitment of potential members. At other times a process of purification ’ sets in, whereby the conditions of the ‘tentative alliances’ are withdrawn and the people involved are made to fall on one side or other of certain major issues, determined by the party. In relating themselves to other nonafigned, nonsectarian or non-vanguard groupings, such as student demonstrations, the vanguard attempts both to push itself into leadership positions and to attempt to broaden the nature of the demonstration in order to focus it on those ‘contradictions’ and ‘tactics’ which they view as correct. ’ Queen’s Park was to have been a student run demonstration protesting legislation and reports which determine the quality of the students’ lives. Lo and behold there were the Vanguard Parties-The The Canadian Liberation Young Socialists, Movement, The Canadian Party of Labour Marxist-

discussion on the matter. Because he tried to hold a democratic meeting he was accused of being a trotskyist and then of sabotaging a discussion on staying inside. At that time some action freaks or ultra-lefts led by Jim Brown (a non-student) from the Canadian Liberation Movement shouted down the chairman and refused to give up his megaphone even though the meeting voted by 90 percent that he do so. Instead he insisted on staying inside and storming the doors to the legislative hall therefore alienating the rest of the students who then went out to the steps to / hear George Kerr. It was Don Tapscott who spoke for the YS asking that a discussion take place so that the reasons why we should have stayed inside could have been made clear. This is obviously a different * situation than that described by Al Lukachko who said, “A small group off to the right comnjainc

As a boy I had the horrible

formation in order to bring the struggle of the Irish people to the attention of the world, but if so I would be pleased to assist you with material on almost any phase of the Irish struggle from the fifth century to March 1972. May I recommend two exceptionally fine books:one by Giovani Costigan entitled “A Brief History of Modern Ireland”, and “The Strange Death of Liberalism in England” by George Dangerfield-historically true books. Both of them should be available at the University of Waterloo or any public library if they have not been suppressed by the unseen hand. I doubt if the history professors would recommend either of them to their students. I think direct rule is just a small step in the right direction, but is not the answer to the problem. There will never be a lasting peace in Ireland until the last remnants of British presence has disappeared. The twenty-six counties are a glowing example of this. There has been no trouble there for over fifty years since the real villian took the hint that he was no longer wanted. Wishing you every success,,

because, at present, they outnumber us. We must also relate our demands to how they are screwed as well, that we all have one common enemy-the corporate state, the ruling class or whatever you want to call it. Therefore, communication is necessary, education. Instead of our yelling among ourselves and handing each other two dozen different leaflets we whould be talking to the spectators and leafleting them. Increase their dissatisfaction with the system by making it clear that each individual is not to blame for their plight just as the working class is not to blame for inflation. The blame actually lies with the Suggestion : press releases political-economic system ( and before hand fully explaining our those who benefit the most from its position.

First for the faculty, the motor of’ the learning process: l Throughout next year the faculty will not perceive-that the handwriting is on the wall; since the government will move carefully in changing its relations with most of the small academ its proper, fears which grew out of the spring revelations will be assuaged. The ‘- majority will still not be capable of looking behind the stated philosophy of the Wright Report to its negation in the report’s recommendations. For the most part protest will take the form of scattered squeaking, along with a more general queasy feeling about the gross assertion ‘of government’s right to control the educational process. There will be the .odd outburst which will take the f.orm of a public lament concerning ‘infringement’, on the academic corn: munity’s longstanding right to define the components of a liberal education. Outside of this there wiJ be isolated head shaking and a good deal of private sobbing over the gradual increase in workload (read teaching) and the lack of time for personal research. l December of next year will herald the furth& decline of the junior faculty 06 this campus. As individual departments are required to cut back ’ their faculty, the juniors (read untenured) will form the target for the established prime professors. The odd voice will be heard asking ‘shouldn’t we organize’ or ‘shouldn’t we band together and protest’; this will be greeted by -cries, of outrage, as befits apprentice guildsmen afraid to buck their seniors, and most of the lambs will press -on to the slaughter. ‘1 Throughout all of this the tenured faculty will attempt to act in ttieir own best interest by steadfastly following the ‘I’m all right jack’ philosophy so popular in the community of scholars. _ l ‘The best. indicator of the faculty’s attitude towards education is their relationship to such down-to-earth items as salary. Next year promises to see the majority of faculty engaged in a strong bid for a *whole lot more money and better side benedits. Neither gradual educational trends nor government fiat will curb their fixation on-this area. individual faculty Undoubtedly perhaps even a whole members, will suggest a voluntary department, limitation of salary increases,, or even a direct cutback so as to put a brake on expenses or to assure retention of the existing faculty,members in the face of imminient cutbacks. Individual faculty Z members suggesting-such a move will be treated as fools; a department which attempts this will be seen as ‘quaint’ o,r j ‘eccentric’ and will provide cocktail chatter for future town and gown dinners.

-0 Since administrators have less compunction about regarding themselves as ‘civil servants’, being more urbane and less staid than academics, they will be far le.ss intimidated by the current hiatus. Their major concern will be to continue to legitimize themselves as the local dispensors of government monies and to retain as much control as possible on individual campuses. Since senior level administrators jump’ easily from the pockets of-business to the pockets of government, willing to listen to the bidding of each, their position in -all of this is assured. -

The response of graduate students to all of this is somewhat hard to predict, a. _ good deal depending on just how much guild consciousness they have ingested and how ‘passive their education and, relative status have made them. The CSU will most ‘likely discontinue their technique of offering conversational evenings as an antidote to the alienation of grad. life. The GSU will, however,, continue its cap-in-hand approach’ towards the increased control over ’ its 1members Iives; it will continue to ‘negotiate’ a$ every turn and blindly search for allies in a deadly game, all the while decrying the tactics of the undergrads who are less tied30 the reward . system. There is always the slim chance that the membership will buck its leaders .and engage in ’ more fbrcefu-I tactices. For undergrads,

who are grist for the mill:

0 T-he proposed hundred dollar tuition fee hike will be just enough to prevent a good many undergrads from returning; it won’t affect the children of the wealthy but will primarily inhibit the self supporting and those from the working class. --l The increase in the loan portion of the OSAP awards to $800 will further disproportionately burden ’ the above mentioned people. Given - that, the average amount given out by OSAP is approximately $950 throughout Ontario, the average grant (read free money) wi.ll amount to about $?50. Even with these cutbacks the government will undertake no basic revision of its categories toallow for increased cost of living, etc. Perhaps the best that can be hoped for is that if this information is widely publicized the taxpayer will stop carping about the soft student life and begin to direct its wrath against the truly deservingnamely faculty and administration. ’ @‘Or&would be smart to expect the loan portion to increase (to $1000 sometime over the next two years 0 It’s old hat to say that a good many undergrads won’t find any work this summer; thereresult of unemployment in the summer will be a more general pessimism about the possibility of full time work upon graduation. Out of that .pessimism a lot fewer, people will be ecstactic over the chance to mortgage their future to either the government or the banks. Of,those who do run up the .large debts necessary to gaining a degree, fewer each year will be concerned about paying the money back. l As if it’s not enough already, you can expect the government to reduce by any where up to forty percent the existing pool of money in the ’ OSAP grant program. That simply means fewer of you will get any free money. Overall, all:

o Within the universities the hardest hit faculty will without a doubt be arts. Arts -

some fer real ’ .

in industrial-governmental capacities; arts also places the heaviest burden on the individual student for the finanacing of education, what with no co-operative programs, no placement services and no clirect government compensation for the aforementioned. Further, arts students are thrown on the job market at the most competitive time of the year and have to vie directly with the winter unemployed and the high school crowd for the few menial jobs there are. If you are coming form high school next year OSAP will expect you to have saved $300 whether you worked or not; the assessment for second year arts or science students is $500 for females and $600 for males. The faculty of arts is least capable of supporting itself in the current funding system. In the future it will be least capable of justifying continued expansion, or even maintainance at the existing level of services, in the eyes of the Ontario government. The result of this will be the gradual attrition of both students, faculty and programs.

’

OThe long term product of this situation will be the death of the ‘liberal arts’ education as we know it. The arts faculty is destined to become, somewhat of a playg&,nd for the sons and daughters of the well-toldo, its main function being a sophisticated ‘finishing and polishing’ job on gentlemen and young ladies. l From here on in ever-increasing numbers of young people will find themselves on the streets after grade thirteen or after a year or two in university. The immediate palliative for this. will be welfare, but a government which can’t afford to provide borrowing privileges for large numbers of people can hardly afford to provide free money for the same group. In effect we will witness over the next few years the forcible creation of a body of people, educated, talented and sensitive-who will have every justification for engaging in the style and content of politics that the Conservative government claims is unnecessary in its daily propaganda.

the big team has ground to a halt. another 52 weeks has passed and volume twelve has come and gone. this year was special in several ways...this year we produced over 1200 pages of what must fairly be considered the best journalism this campus has been treated to in a long, time...the societies had their own special treatment, which is a first...marc roberts and brute murphy must take credit for the implementation for what was at times an onerous idea...entertainment of all departments excelled this year presenting reviews of records, books and movies that were the best available through any media to the student population in south western ontario...much of the credit must go to d&e cubberley and janet stoody for riding peoples’ asses and for writing endless letters to hip-capitalis promotion agents who are repulsive enough to burn a typewriter ribbon...sports had a difficult time improving over previous years as sports coverage has always managed to be pretty thorough, but dennis and smitty and george managed to go one step better and even throw in some original features and statements...they went beyond even this by inspiring chevron staffers to heights of athleticity. the chevron waterbaby team is a good example of that inspiration. another change this year was our relations with our pet ducks, the typesetting firm which is the interim processor of all that you read. Dumont Press Graphix, as others know them, are a group of really fine people who have worked hard at a boring, shitty, frustrating and alienating job, and through it all have tried to relate to the productive process in a collective fash’i!on. they have the love and respect of our staff and our relation with them has changed in many ways the outlooks of many staff members. another special was the nemesis in the ad department...we have established our own ad agency under our control with a friendly person, paul stuewe (famous for his entertainment reviews) being hired as the manager. one of the more noticeable trends this year was the amount of violence and complaints at staff meetings...at times it is difficult to ascertain whether the problems lie with institutions or personalities: probably being an evasive combination of both. many times things were stated that have been repeated for years...lack of staff democracy, bad coverage, etc, things never seem to change and yet, in a way new people with a new enthusiastic approach can quite often accomplish the unexpected (witness the federation executive). all we can do i suppose is wish next year’s people the best and hold back any cynicism. most of the complaints have been centered against the news department. while it can be said that the department did fairly well in getting things covered, it certainly did not operate to the fullest of its ability. ah well, all things must pass. then there was the photddepartment which begged all year for more photos to be run in the paper and spent the last few issues complaining about the numbers of pits they were expected to come up with. that just about covers the nostalgic review of volume twelve. things will probably improve next year. enthusiastic people with a different approach and generally a cleansing of’the old office cobwebs can hardly produce anything else. next year’s crew is particularly inexperienced at the job. none has formal training in journalism. but all have an idea of what they want to do and how to go about it and this sense of direction is very important. at any rate...in our final issue, entertainment had the pleasure of ian angus, paul stuewe, george kaufman who we love mucho, wee Willie, Craig millage, heather Webster who ‘helped’; and jan stoody who was helped. fighting nostalgia at this the final deadline night (morning?) the sport department is still together as it was all year. No jock-of-the-year, not too many special mentions, just a good group of people with one helluva sense of humour. it’s really too bad that a lot of people who were a small part of the section were not too far into final putting together of the pages...people who drop off handwritten copy for another poor sucker to type are a pain in the ass, but all are necessary...this week, the load fell on the people who were supporting this aspect of the chevron all year...the tired triumvirate of Ron Smith, George Neeland and me, dennis...there is nothing different in the academic requirements of \a person working on this newspaper, the media adds another load...to the people whom we continually overhear in the locker room or in the sauna bitching about some sport event not covered the way you would like it, come down here and help us, Christ, we sure could use the assistance...but then this plea has re-echoed too many times for us to assume you haven’t heard, so if you have been bitchin’, our only answer as exams are closing in is: ‘up your rosy red, red...fucking goddamn ass...now that all the hostility has subsided, it’s time to give a few pats on the back to one person in particular, moundsof gratitude to Peter Hopkins for hisefforts in penning jocktalk every week, and for those who don’t, know.it he’s got the best, darn intramural program in this country. for this issue we had a cassette full of photographers...len greener, randy hannigan, Scott gray, sergio zavarella, and gord moore. we almost didn’t have any pictures of cecent events this week; luckily some people didn’t have to spend time worrying about exams and felt motivated to take some astounding endof-the-year pits. look on most any page...we must extend thanks to many other photographers and would-be photogs who kept the various departments supplied with pits throughout this volume: brian cere, Steve izma, doug baird, dudley Paul, helmut zisser, peter wilkinson, nigel burnett, george “sniffles” kaufman, bob seimon, carl krasnor, bill lindsay and his leica, dave purvis, brian douglas, brute ‘murphy, ron smith, george neeland, john alexanders, bill Sheldon and a few other people forgotten in the “great photo department turnover.” interest in photography really picked up on the paper, especially during the last term, and maybe an improvement in picture quality has been noticeable to you...sure hope the improvement can be maintained. to do this we will definitely need photographers this summer, so if you are interested come on down anytime in the next couple of months-female or male (do women photographers on this campus put their cameras in. storage for the fall and winter?) anyway, thanks to all those who did participate; hope to see as many in the* summer and fall as possible. there are small honorariums available for those who have been exceptionally dedicated to the paper, the decision as to who has already, been made and a list lies with charlotte...come in today or monday and check with her...if your name isn’t there you know where you stand (...you come too, mart). at this point a further note should be added to comments in the foto list. people should not stop participating in campus activities just because summer is comming. the chevron needs help and summer is the best time to learn how to do things as there is so much to do and so few people. another thing that needs people is the demonstration at the next sitting of the private bills committee in toronto. people who are interested in this’should leave their name in the federation office and they will becontacted by mail as to details. there is also camp Columbia which needs a lot of financial support. all staff members should be aware that there will be a “wrapping-it-up-and-starting-all-over” bash at janet’s place this friday night (that‘s tonite) at about 8 pm. all the ducks are invited too. if you can imagine ducks bringing cheese, then ponder on waterbabies bringing booze. newsies for this last issue were krista who was sick, and una, george haggar, jerry malzan solving the problems of the world, tom mcdonald, barbara turnbull, joe thornly, and dudley paul who ‘lost his story, len greener, deanna kaufman...thanx for the lovely weekend... brute murphy, and marcroberts was in with a friend from italy, and a special hello to godzilla who inspired the news department, and godzilla:s faithful sidekick, g s kaufmansand big al was up for a day, and we had a visit from cam... bye cam...and at the end of the year we should mention the fearless Charlie who defends the front desk and who has caught the shit for the last several years. i would urge people to read the poem beside the masthed. it is by boris who was in this week and came back to write while in a stupor. many staffers who have read it feel it sums up the end very well. personally it has been a very warm and interesting experience and i’m going to miss working with them, and i’m sure i speak for many people...en tous cas, we’re running out of space on the second to last page...(sob) goodbye then iith all my love. wee Willie.
