Mrs. Bess Ham&n, Curatorof the university’s Art Gallery, was informed ear/y in april that her contract would not be renewed-when it expires at the end of jun.e. The “official” reason given by the administration claims the action was due to “budgetary considerations”, even though Mrs. Hamilton only receives 2500 dollars annual/y. Recent in formation offers another view on this increasingly peculiar situation, information which does great h&m to’ the administration’s credibility in this case. All in all, it appears that a new person entirely without qualification is being “groomed” for her position.

Art Gallery Curator

Professional reputation, damaged r

by len greenner the chevron

On April 3, 1972, Mrs. Bess Hamilton, Curator of the university’s art gallery, was informed that her one year contract, expiring this June 30, would not be renewed. She has officially been fired because of the financial squeeze the university has found itself in; at least this is how the administration reports the situation. The administration decided that a’ gallery curator is not really necessary. However, they believe the gallery, a part of the Cultural Program Centre (CPC), is essential. It is now slated to continue under the leadership of a gallery committee. Mrs. Hamilton has twenty-five years of experience in the arts, and with Canadian artists, to recommend her as an excellent Curator ; no other person at this university has her experience. She and her husband, Ross, started the Doon School of Fine Arts in 1948. When Ross died shortly after, Mrs. Hamilton carried on the school, such that it developed a fine reputation under her guidance, even attracting artists from other countries to study at the Doon school. At the moment, Mrs. Hamilton’s greatest concern is that her reputation will be irreparably damaged by the callous action of Paul Berg, supervisor of the CPC. She does not dispute the university’s right to fire ‘her, however she’ disagrees with

Berg’s reasons. When tract is completed decide whether or not renewed; this decision of Berg.

her one year conthe university can her contract will be is left in the hands

“Points to Ponder” Berg and Mrs. Hamilton havediffering opiniois about what the gallery should exhibit. As Curator, Mrs. Hamilton always had the last word on any exhibition, sometimes to the displeasure of her boss who has sent such items as “GalleryPoints to Ponder”, and “Checklist for Gallery Curator”, to Mrs. Hamilton. The intent of these documents ,was to redefine her role as-Curator while she was in the midst of her contract. These two documents proved to be very insulting to Mrs. Hamilton’s competence and integrity since nearly all the points mentioned are routine aspects of the Curator’s job. Distinct conflict has occurred between Berg and Mrs. Hamilton over two points in particular on the “Gallery-Points t@ Ponder” document. One check point asked for the submission of travel expenses to be paid by the university. Berg decided it was necessary for Mrs. Hamilton to submit an expense account for her visits to area galleries even though the university had just been forced to pare three and a half percent from its operating budget. No rationale has been found to explain this move.

Mrs. Hamilton has never submitted an expense account since she has been at the university. She considered travelling to galleries and various exhibitions to be part of her job since her interest and involvement in the arts would have occasioned her attendance independently of her position. For this reason, she felt that it would be dishonest to submit an’expense account. While at the university her expenses have been limited to phone calls.

Secret&y’s J

role

Another “point to ponder” was the secretary’s role in gallery hangings and removals. According to Berg, Mrs. Hamilton’s secretary “is not expected or able to participate” in these events, even though it is solely Mrs. Hamilton’s responsibility to ensure that a show opens on time. All her shows have opened on time since she began as Curator. Berg also charged that her secretary is in a “continually embarrassing position of not having sufficient information to complete the various details required for each show.” This statement only serves to fog the real- issue concerning the preparation and handling of exhibitions. Berg failed to recognize Mrs. Hamilton’s embarassment when her secretary has had the audacity to remove a “mundane” piece of work from a gallery hanging without consuiting Mrs. Hamilton. The differences in roles are clear: Berg

is an administrator while Mrs. Hamilton is a professional. Berg complained about Mrs. Hamilton’s administrative abilities and warned her in a letter on January 27, 1972, that, “Unless there is solid evidence of improvement in all phases of Gallery operation within the next month, it will be necessary to terminate your appointment as Gallery Curator the end of February, 1972. \

Refuses to resign She went to Berg’s office on January 28 to talk over the letter since she did not agree with Berg’s statements concerning her operation of the gallery. She asked Berg in the meeting if he wanted her to resign and he replied, “perhaps it would be better”. Mrs. Hamilton refused to resign and vowed to do all in her power to keep from being fired for “alleged incompetence”. Mrs. Hamilton felt that it would reflect badly on her reputation as a gallery Curator if she were dismissed for incompetence. At the end of this meeting Berg told Mrs. Hamilton that he had spoken to Burt Matthews, Pat Robertson (Bergls supervisor), and the personnel _ department, and that she should not bother them with her problems. (Berg had previously fired Alfred I$untz who went to personnel and Matthews to protest his l continued

Enough medicine for -aone year cure by deanna kaufman the chevron

Graduate fees will be increased in September despite protests, strikes and letters from graduate students -and universities to the provincial government. But at the university of Waterloo the proposed third term fee of 292.50

dollars will be offset by university bursaries of 300 dollars, according to president Burt Matthews. The total graduate tuition fee for three terms will be 877.50 dollars, subject to almost automatic approval by the board of governors in June. The 300 dollar bursary is also subject to approval by the Ontario

Council of Graduate Studies and the Canadian Union of Graduate Students-Ontario Region. According to the Waterloo Graduate Student Union (GSU > both bodies have independently agreed with the across the board bursary scheme; joint ratification is likely at their meeting this week. For students who started

‘Well, thats tough by david cubberley the chevron -

In typical administrative fashion, with shrugged shoulders and at-times apologetic manner, President Matthews informed reporters at his friday, May 12 press conference that undergraduate tuitionfees would increase by $100 dollars come fall 72. Matthews noted that fees had not been touched at Waterloo for ‘six or seven years’ and suggested that Waterloo had, throughout that period, re,mained near to the provincial average. When queried about the way in which the decision had been reached Matthews suggested that all possible avenues had been checked. He and Pat Robertson, director of academic services, agreed that the. ‘budgets committee had done a very good job of looking for trade offs’. The rationale for the decision derives from the Ontario governments cutback of university financing to begin this fall. After noting that the Conservative government did not force the university to recoup its losses specifically from student tuition, Al Lukachko of the Chevron asked whether other areas had really been considered. He noted that there was a good deal of excess within the operation budget and asked why the extra monies had not been taken from there. Matthews replied that it was all a ‘matter of trade off priorities’. When it was suggested that the amount of alienation and frustration the fee hike would create in the lives of students was of more importance than a reduced operating budget, Matthews quipped “well, that’s tough”. In looking at the overall financial picture for the coming year, administration representatives appeared singularly glum. It was admitted that applications in the arts alone were down by 25 per cent, some 1,000 less than at this time last year.

University operations are dependent for revenue upon a government formula which allots money on a per student basis. Matthews suggested that a drop of 500 arts students would mean $800,000 less operating money. Since the formula is weighted according to faculty (each engineering student brings in 2 BIU’s ($3,500) while arts students bring only 1) a smaller drop in another faculty might mean an even worse situation. The loss of 100 grads alone would mean $750,000 revenue. The university budgeting system which asks administrators to plan their operations around a projected enrollment for the following year was viewed as inadequate. Matthews noted that ‘its this commitment that we get into in advance that’s the problem.’ It was felt that a viable alternative would be to set the budget on the basis of preceeding year’s enrollment figures and to have the government guarantee to make good on that figure. Matthews seemed to feel that further impingements on educational financing could be expected in the future but at no time elaborated a policy for the university to combat them. When asked if he thought the directives of the Treasury Board Report would be born out he stated ‘I’m afraid of it.’ A rather revealing comment by Matthews would seem to suggest that further cutbacks will again be pushed on down the line to students. He noted ‘I can’t really see much argument for holding their fees at their 1966 level unless we’re going for the principle of no fees at all, and I can’t agree with that.’ It would seem that the administration, not unexpectedly, will continue to accept and enact government directives no matter what the cost to students.

aTerry Moore reacted to the fiasco at the private bills committee, in which students received two seats on the board, with this statement: “I think it might have been better to go for exactly what we wanted. At least we would still have our integrity intact. It was a disgusting experience to see the committee pass the composition of the senate before David Robertson even got back to his seat after giving a moving speech about student representation. We had the arguments; all we lacked was power.” o The meeting between the federation executive and the AAB (athletic advisory board) has been postponed until September. This will give the federation a better chance to see what the-athletic program is about and formulate a policy paper on how it should be administered. It could be presented at the august council mketing if there is one. l The fee study

committee’s report was accepted by the president’s advisory council which, in part, was acceptedthat the <ntermural fee be accepted into the general operating budget, of the university and the 15 dollar inter collegiate fee will remain an extra fee and will be put to referendum in the fall: o A 100 dollar increase in fees has been passed on to

OFY. students denied .choice Students working on opportunities for youth programs this summer are being denied the choice of whether or not they wish to contribute to the unemployment insurance fund. The national revenue office has stated that since the students are self employed, one of the government conditions for the grants, they are ineligible to pay into the fund. This then makes them ineligible to collect unemployment insurance should they not find employment next summer, or if they decide not to return to school in the fall. There seems to be only one criterion for collecting unemployment insurance, that being to make the mandatory eight con-

Post-residency fees will remain the same at 300 dollars. Have the grads been bought off? Moore says, “I have argued against any fee increases on the grounds that increases further limit accessibility to “higher education” and that attendance is being more and more determined on the basis of ability to pay.” 0 A student handbook is being worked on for the fall. Salaries are being paid by an OFY grant and publication cost is being footed by the federatioh. 0 Robertson and Lukachko applied for admission to the Co-op Student Seminar held at Carleton in Ottawa from May 27 to June 1. They have been accepted and hope to discuss the possibilities of opening up more co-operative ventures. High on the priority list is a bookstore which hopefully could cut into the administration’s operation and give students a better deal. Except for a 50 dollar registration fee, the government will be footing the bill for

tributions in the twelve months preceding the date of your claim. Since students are in school roughly eight months of the year, it leaves the summer months in which to make the required eight contributions. Then the amount of payment to you is based on the figure of two thirds of the wages for which you had unemployment deductions taken off. The minimum wage for which unemployment deductions are deducted is thirty dollars a week. , This would mean that the person could then collect twenty dollars a week on unemployment. However, welfare payments are more than the unemployment payments at that rate.

Surrealism is presently experiencing a renaissance after three decades on the fringe of the artistic world. J. H. Matthews is one of a number of contemporary commentators (namely Herbert Gershman, Mary Ann Caws, Anna Balakian, Wallace Fowlie, Fer.dinand Alquie, Lucy Lippard) who have devoted themselves to its study and who are at least partially responsible for this new wave of interest. The University of Michigan Press has ’ been publishing much of the new secondary material as well as a rei issue of the Surrealist Manifestoes in a new translation.

Also there are various anthologies of surrealist writers in english: Nadeau’s History of Surrealism provides an excellent historical account of the movement as well as selections

I spent this much space on bibliographical remarks because the reader would do better to read original sources. The commentators have the ability acquired, I am sure, not without years of discipline and training, to make dull what is exciting or, ini Breton’s words, “to reduce the imagination to a state of slavery”. They have studied, studied carefully, but they are no longer able to feel and “when one ceases to feel, I am of the opinion one should keep quiet” (Breton). And so we open the, commentaries and find analyses of surrealist poems which need no analysis, interpretations which stand to the original as masturbation to fucking.

Living <surrealism Surrealism is not to be studied but to be lived, indeed the ob-

session with study is one of the symptoms of a civilisation the surrealists condemn. “...in this day and age logical methods are applicable only to solving problems of secondary interest. ” “Under the pretense of civilisation and progress we have managed to banish from the mind everything that may rightly or wrongly be termed superstition, or fancy ; forbidden is any kind of search for truth which is not-in conformance with accepted practices”. If the analysis, exposition and interpretation of writing and poetry are subject to the surrealist cautery, there is no hope at all for the critical work on the visual arts and Matthews’ book on surrealist films is exemplary, nor should there be. Matthews uses 176 well documented pages plus some very poor quality photos to show us what has happened in surrealist movies. He outlines the non-plots Did you ever hear someone of scores of films, presents relate the plot of a film they had singularly unenlightening comjust seen? Plots ’ in films are ments I by’ filmakers about their A film is films, and gives away many ‘ inherently uninteresting. a show (if this is right then a technical tricks of the trade (for surrealist film is a dreamlike, example, how the eyeball slitting spectacle) scene in Kndalusion Dog was done ; sometimes nightmarish and must be seen not heard, much I’m not telling, but see page 85). less read about (reading is worse since the storyteller can, if only feebly, dramatize his narrative). If on the other hand you’ve been excited by having the plot of a film related to you, Matthews will turn you on fifty-fold.

Magnificence of film

Recently I heard Sam Peckinpah discuss his last film, Straw Dogs (which I really liked) and he said that the theme of the film is that we are all potentially violent. Matthews’ book is full of enlightening comments of this calibre. ,.

part, because it allows us to see the impossible, to be what we could ’ never be, to do what we could never do. In this respect it is marvellous. I really do not want to know how these things are done. I want to watch them being done and sometimes even ponder over the mystery of the impossible appearing on the screen. But Matthews clears up all the mysteries; he dissects the special effects of surrealist films, which are so important, and leaves us with the feeling that mere innovative technical tricks lie at the core’of a successful surrealist film. To read the plot of an unseen film is boring, to read the plot of what has already been seen culminates, at best, in the feeble pleasure of recognition. Depending on the qualifications of the reader, Matthews’ book lies somewhere between these two poles.

L 1 Son of Dead, PIUSthe Tra,sh that findly died Garcia Garcia could

easily be by the Grateful Dead. It is firmly in the tradition of Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty,?. though somewhat looser. The combination of electric and acoustic guitars produces an interesting hybrid which I’m tempted to call happy blues-the feeling you get driving down a country road on a sunny spring day when your woman’s just left you. The piercing blues riffs in front of a rollicking beat in “Deal” start the album off in exactly this mood. One gets tangled in the intricacies of soaring solos, Garcia’s reminiscent of “Dark Star” on though more conLive Dead, trolled. “Deal” comes “Bird . After Song”, a tight little tune with some nice drumming in the background. Then into “Sugaree”, which was one of the high points on the album for me. Well in spite of all you’ve gained You still have to stand out in the rain There’s one last voice that’s calling you And I guess its time to go Just one thing I ask of you There’s just one thing for me Please forget ‘you knew my name my darling Sugaree

“cosmic period” which, as far as I’m concerned, produced the best music that he’s done. “Celeste” for example, is a haunting ballad which, with the aid of orchestral backing, lifts me up and transports me to another land. Unfortunately, Donovan hasn’t been content to let the best of his compositions (such as, Celeste or Isle of Islay) speak for him but has felt the need to move into pseudoprofundities such as Atlantis. Record one is called “The Physical”, subdivided into “The Body” and “The Senses”. Record two is “The Spiritual”, including “The Heart” and “The Soul”. Well, I guess that just about covers it. He’s a good ‘writer and singer, why does he have to be a metaphysician as well? This is a good album to get if you like Donovan but can’t see yourself getting a lot of his records. There’s none of the really early folk music on it (like Colours or Turquoise), which is a shame, but its well worth hearing. --Ian

Donovan revisited The world of Donovan is a good collection of his material. It includes a fair selection of rocky stuff (Barabajagal, Hurdy Gurdy Man, Sunshine Superman etc.) as well as food for the folkies (Sun, Lalena, Sand and Foam etc. ) . Also included are some pieces from his

gymnastic work with honest, literate back-up. Roadwork displays the best of. this combination in the l&minute cut, “Tobacco Road”, Trash’s steaming version of the old rockand-roll standard. “Tobacco Road” brings out everything Trash has to offer, and that’s as much as you’ll get from any rock group going.. Trash didn’t spare themselves and they didn’t spare their audiences. Onstage, all the members of the band were always shouting at each other, urging themselves on, asking for response from their listeners. “Save the Planet” on this album loses the polish it had on their first LP, but comes off much livelier and spirited, as Lacroix and Winter tear out their vocal chords in one of their voice duels that had audiences shouting for more. “Jive, Jive, Jive” is just a good old rock-and-roller by Lacroix, making exceptional use of the whole band. The only thing close to a disappointment on this set is Otis Redding’s “I Can’t Turn You Loose”, which is a little too evocative for Lacroix’s voice. And, of course, there’s the muchheralded appearance of brother Johnny on .one cut. It’s hard to say anything’in a review’ about Johnny’s appearance, since both his vocal and guitar work on “Rock and Roll Hootchi-Koo” are so far below all his previous recorded efforts and also since that is understandable due to the time he has spent since last performing. But, the crowd there must have ,felt the way I did when Edgar innocently says, “People keep askin’ me about my brother” and Johnny walks out. Fans haven’t forgotten the most exciting guitarist in rock. Although he and Derringer get in some licks reminiscent of the old “Johnny Winter And” days, the guitar work and recording both seem much sloppier than the rest of the cuts. Note : as with all Winter Brothers recordings, Road Work must be played very loud. At last word, Lacroix had split to the west coast and Winter to the south to form new groups and Derringer was at loose ends, also thinking about (what else? ) a rockand -roll group. All this could prove interesting, of course, but until proven wrong, I will lament the passing of White Trash as probably the finest live group rock spawned. Johnny Winter went back into hiding in a sanitorium, but-as his appearance with Edgar suggests-

Dr. Music Dr. Music, a mish-mash of 24 singers and musicians out of Hamilton, gives a little more hope, for home-grown talent in a. first album from GRT (9233-1003). Dr. Music itself has a ways to go if it wants to be accepted as a contender for attention in Canadian music, but with a group of this size, there’s always hope for spin-offs of future ‘groups or individuals. at its present Unfortunately, cumbersome size, it can’t seem to decide if it wants to lean towards the more mellow choralinstrumental sound of Lighthouse or go funky ala Mad Dogs and Englishmen. The cuts here, recorded in Toronto, reveal no real focus for the group and it appears they are heading more for general radioplay acceptance rather than any stunning musical break-throughs. It’s hard to tell if the voices are there to fill in for the brass or if the instruments are there to back the vocals. All the cuts here can, easily be played by any radio station, they’re so middle-of-the-road. Their hit single, “One More Mountain to Climb”, starts off and builds with promise (as a real gospel-rocker, but can’t seem to break out,of the low-key effect of tight strings-added the arrangement. But some beautiful voices find their way out of the crowd, though its impossible to tell who is doing what. The opening female lead on “When You Believe” does some fine work, and it would be nice to hear from her unhampered by this group. The full vocal power of the group is almost allowed to overcome its background on this cut. While Dr. Music is a listenable, above-average album, its promse of things to come is even better.

Joshua

-All caustic comments on Canadian Content aside, going from Roadwork to Joshua is something like having the best fuck of your life and then finding out the next day you’ve got VD. Joshua (GRT9230-1013) is a local group working out of Woodstock (Ontario) in high school gyms and the like and, sadly, they sound like it. There’s very little on this first album to suggest that this group will ever move on to anything better. k About half this album is their own compositions which are extremely mediocre and forgettable while the other half appears to be way over their musical heads. I had to remove the needle from the record after just a few lines of “Where Would I be Without You”, a Lacroix-Winter song from White Trash’s first album. Why they would tackle this kind of material on a first album is beyond me. Marc Benno’s “Two Day Love Affair” and Lennon-McCartney’s “It’s For’ You” wind up the same way, with the attempted vocal gymnastics on the latter nothing short of disaster. “Poor Folks” is the best cut on the record, a straight-forward toetapper, but even that is hampered by a suffocating reliance on loud organ back-up and inadequate vocal talent. “Everything is You” is listed as an original tune, but this trivial little rock-ballad sounds like it should be attributed to Gerry and the Pacemakers of five years ago. There’s nothing exciting or original here, just a small-time . band trying too hard to copy the heavies. It’s the kind of album that ,makes you appreciate groups like Trash even more. -gsk

The cell with all its processes and activities, multiplied by billions and billions, is you. All other parts of the body are but servants to the cell. The digestive tract is nothing more than a mechanism for changing food into the form which the cell can utilize. The degree to which this cell can maintain its ideal structure and can carry on its normal functions is the degree of your health. Foods can be selected which will supply all the nutrients known to be needed by each cell. If these foods are grown on non-chemically treated soil and are eaten as near their natural state as possible even nutrients still unknown can possibly be furnished. The big profits aren’t in food food-fruits, vegetables, milk, meat or crunchy ‘granola. The big profits are in making fancy things out of cheap materialssnacks, breakfast foods, desserts, soft drinks. lo 7970 the Agriculture Department (USDA) reported that during the previous two generations, the proportion of calories that Americans eat in the form of starches has dropped from 68 to 48 percent, while the proportion in the form of sugar and other sweeteners has soared from 32 to 53 percent. The average American eats his or her own-weight in sugar every year.

Neither sickness nor health is a matter of chance, Many whoviolate the laws of health are ignorant of the, relation of the laws of eating and drinking to their health. All the great religions of the Far East were founded on the principles for the establishment of health and happiness here on earth and consequently were firmly grounded in laws governing the nourishment of the body according to the strictest of dietary principles. The well nourished body can protect itself from bacterial invasion and can detoxify foreign materials which gain access to it. If poisons, harmful chemicals, allergens or bacterial toxins are carried in the tissue fluid, the healthy cell refuses to let them enter. No matter how many germs get into the body, if the blood stream is clean and the blood corpuscles are in a healthy condition, these organisms will not cause you sickness for they have no place to propagate themselves. As for the therapeutic valueof food it is common place for modern medicine to deprive patients of certain foods and place them on special diets to restore them to health. Anemia, d’iabetes, eczema, heart disease just to name a -few are diseases caused by a deficiency of.vitamins and minerals. On the other hand, if the nutrition is good, the tissue carries every nutrient to the cell, the cell invites whatever nutrients it needs to enter, with. draws what it wants and leaves the remainder to be carried on to the other cells. When too little of a nutrient is supplied, the cell adjusts as best it can; when too much is given the cell fights back but is sometimes defeated. Fatigue caused by obesity and undisciplined existence is a divine warning. The lazy man is a sick man. ’

The objection is sometimes made that such a dietary is expensive when actually the reverse is true. No money is wasted on junk and little or none is needed for medical and dental bills.

When fats are hydrogenated their health building value is destroyed and they can supply only calories, but they cannot become rancid.

One could define vitamins as chemicals essential for the normal function of cells. Vitamin A, found in all green vegetables, is necessary for night and day vision, for the development of bone and teeth enamel, for normal reproduction and for the formation of red and white blood corpuscles. Almost everyone is lacking in the necessary B complex vitamins which appear to be needed. equally by every cell in the body and are found in unrefined breadstuffs, liver and wheat germ. Symptoms of an undersupply appear on the tongue in the form of redness, fissures, clumps of fused taste buds and a heavy coating of bacteria near the back of the tongue. These vitamins are unstable to heat and are destroyed in canning and overcooking. The machinery which grinds ordinary flour creates such heat of friction that 25 nutrients are destroyed while the minute quantities of chemical B vitamins returned to “enriched” breads is far below the daily minimum requirement. All fresh growing foods contain vitamin C which breaks down rapidly when exposed to heat and oxygen.. It forms the strong connective tissue between the cells which prevents penetration of germs to the cell. The best natural source of this vitamin is- citrus fruit juices. Vitamin D helps prevent tooth decay although it can be toxic in excessive amounts. It is formed in the oils on the skin from sunshine but is scantily distributed in foods. Vitamin E is necessary for the formation of the nucleus of each body cell, including the DNA and-RNA. Not one unit remains in oils chemically extracted or in refined flour and grains, almost ouronly sources. All unrefined foods grown on good soil contain minerals necessary to the normal life processes. Even when trace minerals are not actually lacking from the soil, deficiencies are caused by chemical fertilization saturating the soil to such a degree that they cannot dissolve or be absorbed by the plants. If plants- absorb all minerals they remain healthy and can support the health of animals and people. The protein content of our food has decreased and continues to decrease still more. Personally applied nutrition is a means to an end. The end goal is physical health in all its aspects, forming a basis for mental, emotional and spiritual health.

Thirty six schools are competing, with over four hundred competitors expected from all over the province. The meet features the best of the secondary school competitors from each of the regional meets. (cwossa for example), and usually is a fair preview for the all Ontario track meet. Last years defending champions, Michael Power will again be represented at the meet,. Among their competitors will be a sprinter who does the hundred yard dash in 9.7 seconds, and a javeling thrower who chucks the spear a hundred and seventy feet. Other strong contenders are Central Tech from Toronto, Parkdale from Toronto, Burlinton Nelson, and Monarch Park from Toronto.

The camp which will be held at camp borden Ontario, will have in attendance the selected players from the Ontario Quebec region. From the regional camps, selected players will attend a national camp in british Columbia. The warrior players selected for the regional tryout camp are Jaan Laaniste, Tom Kieswetter and Paul Bilewitz.

in the woods

One of the lesser known sports that is being promoted this summer on campus is the sport of, orienteering. Orienteering is a combination of several skills, all of which are fairly demanding and skilful in their own right. At first it may appear as a simple cross country run, if one were to observe competitors in the race, but upon closer inspection it can be seen that each of the runners has with him or her, a map and compass. These are essential to the competitor as they are the only indication of the course that he must follow. The runners have no previous knowledge .of the course but are supplied with a map which has the route marked on it. The runner must follow this map, using the compass to find his bearings, to find check points that are set up at set distances in the race. All check points must be passed and the runner must stamp his card at each of these points. Due to the combined skills involved in orienteering, it is not always the experienced runner that wins. Expert map reading along with a sense of direction are essential to be an expert in this sport. Anyone on campus interested in this sport should contact the Wanders Orienteering club of Waterloo through either Dayle Smith or Molly Targosz, exts. 3550 and 3137, respectively.

On april third of this year the fee study committee made several recommendations to the Presidents advisory council regarding the funding of the universities athletic activities.

Federat io-n Of Students

The athletic activities were divided into two sections, intercollegiate activities and intramural activities. Of the present athletic budget something in the order of sixty to seventy per cent of the money is spent on the inter collegiate programme, the remainder on the intramural and recreational programmes. In view of this the following recommendations were made :

DAY CARE CENTRE

i) The compulsory athletic fee should be for intercollegiate only (i.e. approximately fifteen dollars plus some escalation for cost increases.) ii) The gate fee for students paying the compulsory fee should be eliminated. (this may require an increase in the compulsory fee. ) iii) A suitable mechanism should be determined by the president to ascertain at reasonable intervals if those paying the compulsory fee wish to continue the programme.

Faculty and staff should be charged a usage fee (established by comparison with fees paid in the community for like services e-g. YMCA, and taking into account the actual cost of providing such a service on campus.

The response of the athletic advisory board, the governing body of the athletic department to the separation of the two athletic activities was very’ negative. The board felt that funding athletics from compulsory fees was not desirable but that the programmes should be financed from the general operating expenses of the university.

The board agrees with the concept of a user fee for faculty and staff and recommended a fee increase last summer for those users. The board also agreed with the idea to have the compulsory fee monitored and a consistant input from the students should be sought. ’ Pete Wilkinson

They felt that a referendum would be an appropriate way to determine the continuation of compulsory fees, (all compulsory fees), and that perhaps mid november of next fall would be an appropriate time for such a move. ‘-

“Examining” _

Th-e interview with Matthews showed him to be more sympathetic toward Mrs. Hamilton than either Berg or Robertson. He, suggested that Mrs. Hamilton use the “,proper channels” route by ’ filing a grievance with the. staff association. Since Mrs. Ha-milton holds a part-time position, and the staff association represents only full-time employees, this did. not seem to be5 viable solution. Matthews stated, as is the case, that whether or not the termination was justified, all due processes leading up to the termination were proper: Mrs. Hamilton had visited president Matthews previouslyX to explain that her name was being damaged by Berg’s allegations of incompetence.

Where does it all go from here? Will Mrs. d Hamilton receive an apology and a recommendation ? Let me suggest a plausible scenario for the future. Marlene w Bryan, administrative assistant to Paul Berg and office super-visor, will be appointed Gallery Director. This position will be different from Mrs. ’ Hamilton’s in only two aspects, in pay and in title. Despite the fact-that she is entirely . without qualification for the position, both come in this room again ahd it would be the new position and a substantial pay better for you and all concerned if you did raise will befall her. For the past year she not return to campus. I think this matter has been “groomed” for the position.

Of course, you can bet that Bryan’ will not be quite so reticent as Mrs. Hamilton when it comes to submitting an expense account. It looks like Berg for the moment, has brought peace in our time to the cultural program centre. Last week the Rumanian Embassy presented a piece of sculpture _to the university’s gallery.
