Dare strike now by david cubberley the chevron

All is calm and peaceful this week on the Dare picket line, in stark contrast to the struggle and violence of the preceeding days. The picket is manned continuously but only by a small group who sit and chat quietly on the lawn near the loading docks.

Windows and doors have been temporarily patched, the office and supervisory staff have returned to work and the grounds have b_een cleaned up.

The calm can be attributed to two factors: the withdrawal of Canadian Driver Pool hirelings from the premises, for the moment, and the willingness of the Dare union to observe the terms of a recent injunction. These two moves have pushed the strike into a new stage, one which union members term “a waiting game”.

Usually an injunction means that factory owners have increased their power over a strike through the ‘legal’ use of the courts. It would appear, however, that the injunction granted by Mr. Justice Lacourciere was somewhat less than Clifford Dare was pushing for. Bypassed was a bid to have the picket restricted at all times to no more than ‘\ twelve persons.

Dare won a partial victory in that his ‘legal right’ to move finished goods from his factory was affirmed in the injunction.

With CDP removed from the operation, the union has shown itself willing to guarantee safe passage for the goods so long as Dare uses company men and equipment to move them.

In another sense this appears a rather hollow victory.

The union maintains, as it

has all along, that the incidence of violence was a direct result of the use of CDP. Union officials state that at no time was there consultation between Dare and the union to establish whether pickets would allow already manufactured goods to pass / through the line.

Albert Gill, president of local 173 of the UBW, claims the union was .amenable to moving spoilable goods, so long as no outsiders were brought in. Gill maintains that CDP was hired outright by company officials, without so much as a notice. As one union member suggested: “If they had come to us first and said-they wanted to take out the perishable goods, you wouldn’t see any of this damage; it was when they brought in the damn strikebreakers that all this happened”.

A certain amount of information, hitherto unknown, was gleaned at the injunction hearings in Toronto.

William Thorn, the executive vice president of Dare, admitted that he had made the decision to engage CDP. Thorn is a relative newcomer to Dare’s outfit; he appears to be a replacement for Gus Young, the man who formerly did Dare’s bargaining and whom union members see as a ‘tough’ individual but one worthy of respect.

According to Lou Dautner, international rep for the brewery workers, when asked in court if he had solicited aid during the strike, from police agencies outside that ,of Kitchener, Thorn admitted “Yes, I even tried the mounties”.

Nor does Thorn’s association with the police end there.

Dautner further paraphrased him as having

waiting gam-e remarked “I even had to talk to the police (in Kitchener) in order to give them some backbone.”

Several contradictions . have emerged Erom the injunction.

Albert Gill was made responsible for keeping the peace on the picket line by the judge who granted the injunction; Gill committed himself in court to carry out the responsibility.

However Gill faces a charge of ‘dangerous driving’, laid against him during the preceeding week,to which the Justice of the Peace attached a rider which banned him from going within a block of the plant. While the ban would be lifted once his case was heard, Gill fears it may be remanded to the end of the summer.

This places him in an intolerable situation.

Another interesting contradiction is the way that the official Dare interpretation of things keeps changing.

Last week Dare maintained there were twelve truckloads of goods to be removed from the plant; since the injunction the figure has risen to thirty.

Dautner hypothesized that the trucks removed by CDP may in fact have been empty; in that event Thorn ‘used the police as suckers.

If these trucks (CDP) were empty, then the police were duped’.

Another rising sum is that of the estimated plant damage ; oddly enough no one, least of all the union, is quite sure what the figures are based on. Union officials find it hard to believe that the buildings weren’t insured; they are willing to grant that the policy may have lapsed when the sprinkler system was knocked out. Responsibility for damage is apportioned between Dare himself and Kitchener Mayor Sid

MacLennan who by his inactivity ‘granted CDP permission’.

Strike strategy for the immediate future revolves around a boycott of Dare products in Kitchener, Toronto and Hamilton.

The union has formed committees to man informational pickets at large food outlets throughout the area; in this endeavour they are receiving support from the Labour Council and sympathetic groups as far away as Toronto.

As of Thursday the strikers are elligible for strike pay. Married workers, or those in sole support of a family, will receive twentyfive dollars a week; fifteen of this will be a food voucher and ten. of it cash. Single individuals will pick up seventeen dollars a week of which seven will be a food voucher.

Throughout the duration of the strike the i union will pick up the tab for hospitalization and health insurance, to the tune of nine hundred dollars a week.

In an interview on Wednesday afternoon neither Dautner nor Gill were optimistic about the possibility of negotiations occurring in the near future. When asked if waiting was all they expectedf to do, neither would rule out the possibility of Dare attempting to go into production using scab labour. The removal of CDP is seen as a victory for the moment, yet no one believes that they are necessarily out for good.

Union members complained. about the coverage they had received in the local media. When asked how he felt the strike had been treated Dautner responded empha tically : “all they want is news-they don’t give a shit what kind of news.”

The length of time it takes for the book to reappear on the shelf depends on where it has to be ordered from . ,and whether it is still in print. This could take a few weeks or months.

Other titles which members of each faculty wish replaced, have to be requested through their own department representative to the library which replaces books from their own departmental funds.

They can only do this after all stock-taking is completed and the lists are drawn-up and sent to each department.

They then hope the book they need is still in print and not a rare-hard-to-get-ahold-of copy, in which case they have to order a new book.

And so the yearly struggle goes on without much hope of finding any real solution of “people” versus “library”; and if the book is replaced will it still be there next year?

All we can do is draw attention to the fact that with all the cut-backs taking place, funds are not what they used to be, consequently, less and less books can be replaced or bought.

OFS conference debates strike tactics Last weekend, the first conference of the Ontario Federation of Students adopted a motion stating that it fully supports the idea of a fee strike from September“72 on.

The demands behind such a strike include the abolition of the $106increase, abolition of the increase in the O.S.A.P. loan ceiling, and that O.F.S. be recognized as the central negotii.‘ing body for Ontario students.

The final decision will be made at the July conference of the O.F.S. This leaves more than a month for discussion among students of each ca opus, and for councils to make any decisioll. This article will attempt to open discussion among students about some of the problems raised by a call for a fee strike.

The Wright Report was first made public, announcing that there would be a $106 fee increase for the coming year.

The legitimate frustration of students expressed itself in a demostration of 1566 students in Toronto, the first one in years, and then in Ottawa for a whole week. However, this did not make the government back down. The problems remain and, unless students show the government that they are determined not to accept its measures, they will have to pay the price.

Although the simple increase of $100 is bad enough, it must be understood that this is only a first step. The recommendations of the Wright Report go much further, as do those of the Treasury Board Report: 16,066 undergrads are to be eliminated this coming year and 47,000 more with 8,000 graduates in the next three years. Behind these apfirst measures lies a parently “mild” systematic plan to curb accessibility to

siderations of its feasibility in Ottawa or on the arguments presented by the delegates.

On campuses all over Ontario, its value as a means of pressuring the government, must be taken into account. The purpose of the strike is not to mobilize students per se, but to force the government to back up and halt a process which has for its objective the overall deterioration of the conditions of education.

The conditions of registration differ from one university to another.

This element cannot be underestimated.

Consideration of these differences in registration can only mean one thing: that OFS must adopt a perspective which goes beyond a simple fee strike; which sees a fee strike and its organization differently on every campus Organizations cannot be run by ukazes.

Even a correct policy cannot be forced upon (total, partial or none), and which sees the students. The means must be found through strike as a starting point in a struggle against the government’s policies. which people have the opportunity to discuss various policies.

university, a plan which involves more than just the Province of Ontario.

What can be done?

The idea of a fee strike originated at the O.F.S. conference and -was presented by the of Ottawa U. The representatives arguments they put forward in support of a full fee strike starting’ in September are worth considering because they underlie the whole method that should be used to answer the above question.

First of all, the strike is clearly seen as an end in itself. Fee increases have to be made into an issue (as if it wasn’t one already) to mobilize students an “occasion that should not be missed”.

they have been used as an argument to drop any attempt to fight the fee increase.

It must be said that it is hard to understand why some students are trying to offer the government a “best solution” to student finances, leaving the government to apply it, while the stated policy of this same government is the removal of about one third of the university populaiton.

Whatever scheme is presented to the government its content will be determined by them, not by the students.

This content is the one described in the Treasury Board Report, the Wright and Tchemp Reports.

As long as students are not in a position to control the government, the ground on which they are placed (the $100 increase) is solely determined by the government.

Students are only left with the method by which they will answer : accept it or not, and if so, how.

Students cannot accept the fee and loan ceiling increases. A fee strike can be called

by OFS with the understanding that it cannot responsibly do it alone. At the same time that a fee strike is called, it musl prepare a province-wide student con ference, whose delegates would be elected directly by the students.

This would give the opportunity for students themselves to decide what should be done, while at the same time unifying them on the provincial level.

The July conference must be used tc decide if students will recognize OFS as tht unifying factor in a province-wide protest tc: stop fee increases.

Premature fervor over fee strike

Many of the delegates to the Ontario Federation of Students Conference at Guelph last weekend, were overcome by a rather sudden urge to be “student radicals”.

The consciences of the young student politicians became troubled when a delegate from Ottawa U. stood up and admonished collegues for not having “enough guts” to stand up to the Ontario government over the increases in tuition, and the raising of the OSAP loan ceiling to $800 from $666.

groups

Kitchener-Waterloo’s neighborhood associations got together last Saturday to find out who and why they were, and in a few cases, who they weren’t.

“We discovered many different types of groups and communities, and learned that one group doesn’t suit all,” said Rosalind Hopkins of the Lakeshore Village residents association.

About 60 representatives from 13 area community associations met at Village II, to discuss common problems and increase communication between the groups.

The workshop was sponsored by the neighborhood development project of the K-W social planning council.

Project coordinators Cindy Nowina and Lance Bisch have been working with local associations since last fall under an Ontario government grant.

Saturday’s workshop was the first time the associations have gotten together to discuss community needs, dealing with city hall, and various social activities.

They also decided to consider the possibility of forming a Twin City-

wide coalition to improve communication between the groups and local government and the press, and to ask the government to extend the grants to the project for another year.

The groups discovered that many neighborhood associations were formed out of a concern about lack of facilities for children, or to handle local crises, like zoning changes for apartment buildings or shopping plazas. Some groups got together to create social activities and tried to avoid getting involved in any political issues.

But several people felt that in order to get new parks and recreational facilities, the groups had to deal with school boards and city hall from a position of political There was also a power. suggestion that city aldermen be elected through a ward system to make them more responsible to their own neighborhoods, and to ensure a voice in city hall for all neighborhoods.

Mrs. Hopkins explained that Lakeshore Village association tries to stay apolitical but helps to

organize and often supports other groups to fight political issues.

“A lot of people don’t want anything to do with politics,” she said,‘but added that she wanted the best of both social and political activities.

She felt social and recreational activities were useful in organizing a community and breaking down social barriers.

But other participants disagreed that this happened.

Waterloo welfare administrator Phil Johnston felt many of the associ#ations were organized on a class basis, ignoring apartment dwellers and Ontario housing corporation 2; -.,-,I,'6 , ' i, J ' 6-J<L.,.>-* s 4,-t i+ ,'i. ?.. .: _** ,. 2,

tenants.

Sharon Robinson from Lakeshore agreed that lower class people were probably segrated from the rest of the community, but blamed it mainly on the planners of the subdivision.

She added that most apartment dwellers didn’t seem interested in community social activities.

Someone suggested that in many working class families, both husband and wife held jobs, and didn’t have time for other social activities.

Most participants felt that widespread apathy caused by a lack of awareness of “what’s going . ,'

on” was the biggest problem they had to face. In particular, they felt most of the local media weren’t responsive to people on a neighborhood level.

Several people felt, however, that a larger organizaton might be useful in obtaining information from city officials about proposed developments.

They said planning departments should be willing to provide information to the associations and even act as an advisory service to residents who want to oppose a development.

Without

Marx or Jesus.

Marx or Jesus” has been at, or near, the top of the New York Times best seller list for several months, and it is obvious; on first reading, why. The book no doubt found a ready made audience among the liberals of the United States, primarily because it shores up the crumbling framework of liberalism and Americanstyle democracy.

Jean Francois Revel spent some time in America, and found what he saw stimulating enough to share with Europe, a la Toqueville.

It appears, however, that Revel

spent all or most of his- time reading the liberal press or fawning over the exponents of a “cultural revolution”. superficial Part of Revel’s probIem is that he reveals too much by way of his subtitle - “The New American Revolution has begun”.

There is nothing new in the path by which Revel leads us to the conclusions of his subtitle.

His pro-American platform is lettered with the refuse of a century of American liberals.

Revel has no feeling of today, no ability to analyse information, except to compare statistics of economics with American European counterparts.

of{ Revel excuses poverty by making it a comparative state, implying that nothing can be bad if there exists something somewhere else which is worse. In fact, Revel forgets his purpose, which, I presume, is to open the eyes of the world to America’s innate good-’ ness, and embroils himself in a condemnation of a Europe which has gone the way of Rome, yet, won’t admit it’s death. Revel may have been more credible if he had stuck to European arenas, of which he has an undeniably sound knowledge. His analysis of French politics, and his often humorous snaps at French political ab-

surdities, are enjoyable a,nd enlightening.

Yet when Revel attempts to ridicule European leftists through praise of their American counterparts, .he becomes not humorous, but laughable.

American leftist, among whom he counts the S.D.S., the Panthers et al., are progressive, have learned from the mistakes of past aborted revolutionary models, and recognize the value of electoral politics.

From that incredible assessment, Revel moves into the problem of racism, and arrives at a somewhat meagrely documented conclusion that “America is one of

the least racist nations in the world. ’ ’ Again, he makes that assertion on the grounds that racism is rampant elsewhere in the’ world.

Dubiousproof of America’s non-racism ! _* In truth, one suspects Revel of having tongue-in-cheek throughout his book. And Revel himself admits that revolution, as we know it, is unlikely, not only in America, but in the third world, where hopes are generally highest for successful revolution.

Revel’s reasons for such pessimism are based once more on European models, and he makes a convincing argument in asserting that the only true and successful revolution was that which occurred in Britain and Europe over a period of a century.

The “trend towards liberal democracy in that period, and its’ successful transplant to America, is the only true revolution, says Revel, regardless of the fact that in no correct sense of the word were those evolutionary events “revolution”.

Revel touches briefly on a currently popular theme of liberal authors, that of the American cultural revolution.

Revel undoubtedly subscribes to Charles Reich, for his analysis is much the same.

He appears to mistake \ change <of dress, and adoption of aimless lifestyles, for revolutionary awareness.

It is obvious that the literary market is wide open for someone to refute the existence of a counter culture, and the last might best be done by street people who are painfully aware of the innate conservatism or “status quoism” of the supposed revolutionary young.

It remains hard to believe that such optimism concerning the possibility of: American revolution can be -espoused by a man who obviously has a sure grasp of European politics.

Perhaps therein, that political awareness, leads Revel into the’ trap of believing that American politics are parallel to old world models.’

Listen to Revel as he remarks: “In America however, they have a well-defined goal, which is to counter-balance the influence of the party machine and the professional politicians and prevent them working to the detriment of the electoral body.”

Revel is talking about American primary elections ! He is referring to “party machines” which make American, and to a lesser extent, Canadian, government less a representative of all the people, than a huge corporation with all the attendant mentalities displayed by the corporate morality.

In final defence of Revel’s misguided prophecy, it must be recognized that at no time does he state that a revolt would be successful.

That is slim excuse however, considering the gross overestimation of _ America’s capacity for change. Even as the book climbs and perches on the conscience of American liberalism, reaction and authoritarianism become more and more the rule rather than the exception.

And, finally, wherever Revel would mistake Canada for America in his analysis of the “cultural revolution” he should be corrected.

He should be informed that the same counter-arguments to his book apply to Canada, for here too, we are mistaking temporary aberrations from conformity for radicalism. by jon mcgill e.

And it is even- more easy to disassociate ourselves from such a society, losing the perspective that it is you and I that make up that society. In Cabaret we are not only the audience but the participants.

We are not only seated in the Kit Kat Klub, but entertained by a master of ceremonies (Joel Grey) who makes certain that he is emceeing not only for the actors of an audience in Berlin but for youactors in an audience at Waterloo Theater.

The question at hand in Cabaret is the morality of the act-that act not only being sexual, but social and political as well. In the appraising of the goodness or badness of an act there arises the question of value. But be careful with the concept “value” for it is of doubtful connotation, as is the “appraising”.

In the concept “poetic” sense, value is not monetary, but rather a priceless sense of worthiness and dignity.

While on the other hand, appraising connotates the power to< . I believe that Cabaret draws some interesting parallels to the estimate or evaluate. For the some society in which we live. It is not a who might believe that life has no price, Cabaret is a rude documentary on the rise of nazism or hopefully, just a in the early 30’s, but rather an awakening, attempt at understanding why rude reminder. For in Berlin in the nazism arose.

Nazism is a early 30’s where power was understood as a people’s claim for totalitarianism that takes on many tomorrow, life did have a price. It forms and in the case of the movie The rise of nazi Cabaret it is employed as a tool to was cheap. defined its own portray more than just a past totalitarianism morality.

It is not a movie of song and entertainment terplayed with the political beating dance with the usual plot backof the Klub owner who refused the stage. Instead, it is the plot that is distribution of nazi literature in the upstage (and you too) with the Kit Kat.

I felt it necessary to write yet another review of Cabaret for several reasons. The reviews I have read either misinterpreted Cabaret or at best did it an injustice.

In the latter case, injustice is often caused by the usual review format-a descriptive sequence of events, character information, acting ability, etc. Such information is useful but more often frustrating and cumbersome if not understood in its order of importance.

Description is good in that it enhances, adds to, and helps develop a central theme. However, without an understanding of what is being communicated, description is like so many additions to nothing.

This understanding can only come through individual interpretations and the communication of such interpretations to one another.

The movie, as a medium of communication, is a frontier open to exploration.

Interpretation is necessary if we are to understand the impact of this medium.

Mjngus! The Candid Recordings (Barnaby KZ 310341, a 1966 date, memorializes the sort of medium-size jazz group (7-10 pieces) which, given the economics of the music business, can perform together only on recordings.

Since jazz is preeminently an improvisational music, the kind of cross-fertilization provided by such sessions is an important source of new ideas and techniques, as well as an opportunity to compare the relative accomplishments of individual .musicians.

This is not, however, an album of merely “historical interest.”

With Charlie Mingus firmly in control of the arrangements and providing typically rock-steady basssupport, the band jells into a cohesive unit fully worthy of contemporary attention. The album includes : “MDM,” 20 minutes of up-tempo workout, pairing trumpets, trombones, and saxes in a free-jazz adaptation of the classic “cutting contest.”

His harp playing is also superb, with “Way Back Home” standing out as an example of what can be done with this often abused instrument (Hi, Bob).

The back-up musicians sound as if they’ve been behind him for years, and contribute a pulsating “Sweet Home Chicago” which has become my current boppin’down-the-street music : two and two is four, three and three is six, and if you don’t

intense, more brutal, and more unreal.

What does this mean to us.

Surely, we are not cabaret performers. Why, there isn’t a place in K-W (other than perhaps downstairs at the Kent) that would even compare to the Kit Kat Klub.

Director Bob Fosse’s technique of composition takes care of such naive absolution.

The scene: a beer garden on a warm bright sunny day. All gathered complete the larger segment of German society that has seemingly been missing-families, young and old alike. A youth, blond and blueeyed, neat and trim, rises to sing.

But what would normally be the pleasure of proud parents turns into an awful experience of patriotic fervor, finalizing itself in

a “hiel hitler” salute.

There is no obvious evidence of sexual decadence or political perversity amid - this milieu of respectable german citizens.

Incredibly enough though, the amount of militancy experienced here causes Brian (Michael York) to question skeptically-an one hope to control this?

“Complacency is dangerous in the individual country and in the world,” says director-choreographer Bob Fosse. “I believe our film says something about that which gives it a sense of the times.““ . ..what we needed most with‘cabaret’ was a sense of reality.” for

1967 broadway musical “Cabaret.”

Of the sardonic master of ceremonies in Cabaret he says, “I mean I’ve gotten into him so thoroughly by now, that I know.. . .how immoral he is, how frightened he is and how much of a menace he is.““ Some people will see him as just a happy,, amusing, devil-maycare person who merely wants to entertain.

Others may recognize the more serious aspects in listening to somebody who says leave your troubles outside, because life inside the cabaret is beautiful.”

So come to the Cabaret, chum, if not to forget troubles, then to experience

come around soon, mama, I believe I’ll slit my wrists.

Two soul numbers are less successful, with “I Like Your Style” a surprisingly spiritless exercise in neo-Memphis malarky ; but everything else is pure pleasure, the quintessence of how to feel good by singing about being down. You don’t have to be black, but it helps.

“Vassarlean,:’ a gentle ballad showcasing the poignant and under-appreciated trumpet of Lonnie Hillyer.

“Stormy Weather,” an Eric Dolphy run-all-the-changes exhibition, putting the listener through the entire emotional gamut in a fashion equalled only by John Coltrane.

“Lock ‘em Up,” 13 minutes of madness chronicling Mingus’ experiences in a mental hospital, with a straightahead tenor blast from Booker Ervin the principal highlight. Strong stuff, but not just for the fearless-unlike the Stones at Altamont, they put it all back together again, too.

Another recording session from the early sixties is resurrected on New York City R & B (Barnaby KZ 31035)) which features pianist Cecil Taylor and bassist Buell Neidlinger in a previously unreleased collaboration.

Higgins, where Taylor’s peculiar ability to. fuse styles as disparate as those of Bela Bartok and Thelonious Monk is most evident. The contrast between his probing, jagged lines and the almost “speedy” drumming of Higgins is especially eff ec tive-Neidlinger is barely noticeable, despite being the putative co-leader of the group.: “Cell Walk for Celeste” adds Archie Shepp’s tenor in a moody, occasionally brilliant piece which nevertheless seems too tightly arranged, with the metronomic percussion of Dennis Charles also annoying.

The Duke Ellington standard “Things Ain’t What They Used To Be” is more satisfactorily handled in a kind of super-hip but mellow version graced

by Clark Terry’s characteristically elegant trumpet, and is a joy from beginning to end.

On balance, a very heady amalgam of music both venturesome and nervous, with concentration not always rewarded by involvement.

Lastly, an excellent album from Junior Parker, You Don’t Have to be Black to Love the Blues (Groove Merchant 502). Parker has an unusually smooth and urbane voice for a bluesman, which is particularly appropriate for the relaxed, 3 a.m. in the morning songs which comprise the core of this LP.

A situati-onal reportI of surveillano ,control in modern democratic sot

by Robert Yaffee the chevron

Robert Yaffee received a B.A. in history from Lehigh University in 7965 and an M.A. in history from New York University in 7968. He is present/y a graduate student at the School for Social Research in New York City, working on a Phd. in Political Science. At present Mr. Yaffee is visiting at the University of Waterloo.

Priority considerations of national defense, national security, and domestic law-enforcement seem to have necessitated the support of secret research into the areas of total surveillance and total control.

Only by addressing public attention to, and legislative deliberation of, certain of these awesome endeavors is it possible in the long run to provide for the constitutional, legal, and administrative preservation as well as protection of the free life from the emerging possibility of living engulfment by the developments that have derived from these researches.

Several kinds of surveillance and control techniques may constitute a threat to, or violation of fundamental freedoms provided for in the Canadian Bill of Rights. If telephonic wiretapping, telephonic eavesdropping, nontelephonic eavesdropping, and electronic biological control were to be used arbitrarily and inequitably,-‘ substantive rights of responsible free speech, press, and assembly contained in the Bill of Rights would be eroded away or effectively eliminated.

In that instance, basic guarentees against unreasonable searches and seizures, cruel and unusual punishment or treatment, as well as equal protection of the law would be flagrantly deprived of effect. And if any of these techniques were used illegally to obtain information, resulting in such _ effects, the clause, which maintains that none of these rights may be withheld or infringed, unless by due process of law, is also violated.

It may be instructive to consider in more detail the workings of these devices and systems in order to appreciate the implications of their use for the maintenance of the basic freedoms of Canadian society.

Modes of surveillance systems allows - The nature and design of surveillance for a tripartite classification, based on wire connection and transmitter location.

According to John E. Cunningham, author of the book, Security Electronics, such surveillance may be categorized as follows: 1) “hidden microphones connected with wires,” 2) “hidden radio transmitters,” 3) “wiretapping of telephones.”

(2) In the first of these groups, there are a multitude of small and miniature microphones.

For the most part, they are to be concealed within the area of immediate audio pickup. Included in this group is also the “spike-mike”, which is a microphone attached to a spike. The spike is driven into the wall of the room or house under surveillance.

Vocal vibrations of the person or persons speaking are conveyed from the air to the wall, and from the wall to the spike. The vibrations, having been conducted to the spike, are, in turn, transferred to the microphone where they are converted to oscillations of electrical current flowing through the connected wires to an amplifier and then to a tape recorder.

These devices must be at or in the room or rooms under scrutiny.

Concealed radio transmitters are sometimes within the immediate area *of scrutiny also.

With recent microminiature and developments in discoveries electronics, such as integrated circuits and solid state design, it has been reported that these marvelous little toys have been reduced in size such that they may be installed in the stirring stick of a cocktail, in the buttons of a suit, in the cuff links or tie clasps of a jewelry assortment.

(3) The less miniscule of these intricate curiosities are usually installed near a power sourcesuch as a lamp, light-socket, radio or television.

Their I size necessarily imposes some limitation on their amplification potential, for which reason they are generally characterized by short-range-approximately from 300 feet to 1 mile. Most of them are frequency

spectroscopy, and corn puteri zed subsystems for translation, co-ordination, reply, and data storage.

In fact, at Fort Holbrid, Maryland, the United States Army is alleged to have assembled a massive data bank, complete with dossiers on all persons with criminal records or political affiliations.

It would not be presumT@ous to assume that other countries have such a central storage system, available to those persons who -have a need to know, containing information on all citizens and denizens.

What. is sometimes considered elegant about remote sensing is the combined lack of physical intrusion and lack of juxtaposition of physical equipment.

modulated to reduce static and noise difficulties.

Because they cannot have long antenna, they, more often than not, operate between the frequencies of 60 to 112 mhz., a band which is eagerly monitored by your friendly government agencies, using equipment of wondrous sensitivity.

To preserve the batteries, if they are used, or the tape on the recorder reels, if it is used, these gadgets may employ a component called a voiceoperated relay, set to turn on the equipment at the sound of someone speaking.

Means of wiretapping telephones comprise the third Stricitly construed, wiretapping signifies a group. physical connection of outside wires to an internal telephone circuit.

There are three ways by which such intrusion may-be accomplished.

First, there may be a connection of outside phone lines to wires leading to an amplifier, tape recorder, and headset.

Second, it is possible to install a “harmonica bug”, which transforms the telephone handpiece into an active microphone while the phone remains on the hook. After a particular installment and a rewiring of the telephone handpiece, anyone, who desires to eavesdrop on the room in which the phone is located, can dial the telephone number of the tampered phone, cause a 500 cycle signal to be activated within pit-up range of his own phone, and proceed to. listen. That 500 cycle signal has a double effect on the rewired telephone, automatically connecting the phone and disconnecting its bell, before it can begin to ring. In this way, the rewired telephone is transformed into an eavesdropping device.

And third, there is the possibility of installing in the handset of a telephone a tiny radio -transmitter capable of transmitting, whether or not the phone in on the hook. All of these three ways of wiretapping involve tampering with the telephone circuits.

There are ways of eavesdropping on telephone communications, howver, that do not necessitate such tampering.

Knowledge of two of these means-is no secret.

One technique utilizes the attachment of a suction cup to a microphone, with leads running to a tape recorder.

The suction-cup microphone is merely attached to the handset of the telephone.

Another technique utilizes an induction coil, which is nothing lines at a ‘9more than a wire wound around the telephone convenient point, with no physical contact necessary.

The leads connect to the input of an audio amplifier, which, in turn, is connected to a tape recorder and headset.

Whereas these techniques are not wiretapping, their effect is the same as that of wiretapping.

In there is interception of the telephone either case, communication.

Perhaps the most interesting ineans of eavesdropping is that of remote sensing. Equipment employed for these purposes may be simple or complex.

Frequently, means of remote sensing may be difficult to detect and locate, insofar as detection and direction-finding may require the use of expensive and sophistocated apparatus.

Remote sensing may be accomplished by acoustical or electronic means, as well as by a combination of them. . An acoustical device is a highly directional microphone, consisting of a parabolic reflector which focuses sound sensitivity into a narrow.beam.

Its operational response is astounding to many. It may be used at a distance of 100 feet to pick up conversations in a room of a bui1din.g across a bu’sy street. It has a range of approximately 100 to 300 feet, varying in accordance with the amount of intervening environmental noise. The electronic devices used for remote sensing are generally a form of a radar.

- Although short-wave may be used, the general procedure utilizes the higher frequencies.

If microwave is used, the system may be based on maser (microwave amplification by stimulated emission or -radiation) operations.

If infrared frequencies are used, the system may generally employ an iraser (an infrared laser-light amplification by stimulated emission or radiation).

It follows that if light is used, the sensing system may employ a laser. Acting as a radar system, the device detects the amount of vibration in a window pane, resulting from conversations in the room.

A beam of radiation is directed at the pane and reflected from it.

The changes in distance between the surface of the window and the laser are detected, thereby converting the vibrations of the conversation into changes in electrical current, which is then amplified.

A speaker reconverts the electrical changes to vibrations of air; the reproduced sound is the reproduced conversation, which may be tape recorded.

With the refinement of such devices, radar systems have been develped that

The biological effects of radio frequency electromagnetic energy are not unknown to scientists in the esoteric field of bio-electronics.

Some of the information managed to find its way into print. As long ago as May 4, 1959, in “Aviation Week and Space Technology”, an experiment at the National Institute of - Health in Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. was reported to have been conducted.

A monkey had been placed in a resonant cage, into which from an antenna was fed approximately 100 watts of power on a very high frequency.

According to Dr. Peirce Bailey, who observed the effects, the animal lapsed into convulsions, and within 5 minutes, was dead. Dr. ,Bailey proffered the suggestion that otherwise inexplicable airplane accidents might result from careless radio frequency energy propagation.(5) More recently-this Spring to be more specificYlack Anderson, the syndicated columnist, wrote an article entitled, “Laser Snoops a Th.reat to Health,” in-which he sought to bring to the public attention some of the adverse effects of the careless use of certain electronic surveillance devices.

Anderson wrote:

police, with the result that when a person who was placed there proceeded’ to call a friend-or a lawyer, the police were able to overhear the conversation.(l4) And -Mr. John Gilbert (Broadview) mentioned the case of the Redpath Sugar Company of Toronto.

That company had allegedly hired a firm known for its “union busting” activities.

After the disclosure that a member of the Toronto police force had aided and abetted the,firm in its eavesdropping endeavor, reason for concern arose. in the words of Mr. Gilbert, “...this indicates that we have reached a serious state.” (15) If this situation is generally that of modern democracy, it is to be coneluded that adequate protection against capricious and unjust infringement of the above-mentioned rights should be provided for in any society that is structured ordered Ii berty.

tY-h

The lasers, microwaves, and infrared beams can cause taracts and other long-range injuries to people they ike. Thus the electronic smog created by surveillance uipment may be ruining the eyes of spies, Communist 3lomats, and innocentcitizens who just happen to be or near the rooms where the hazardous rays are tleashed. (6) seems that although the United States Government td been aware for some time of the adverse biological fects of certain frequencies, power levels, con ntrations, and proximities of electromagnetic energy, Luipment capable of producing adverse biological fects may nonetheless be in current use. .

If it is claimed that advances in technical knowledge !rmit more precise use of laser and similar surveilla‘nce Id control technology, this claim cannot be denied. To Gure, recent refinements permit pinpoint accuracy in ming these devices, some of which are alleged to be lpable of heating to a boil a pot of coffee at a distance 1000 mil‘es,(7) such that they are presently in combat ;e in Vietnam

by U.S. fighter-bombers.

As the plane lproaches its target, a laser beam is trained onto it, :ating a spot in the metal. An infrared heat-seeking lcket or “smart” bomb is then zeroed in on the hot lot, with perfect accuracy.(8) But accuracy of aiming om or to moving targets is not the only improvement ’ this kind of technology.

A more specific biological explanation of the 66 kinds changes that may be effected within the organism ay be found in the book authored

by Harald Thorn, I.D. -/ntroduction to Shortwave and Microwave lerapy.(9) Harald Thorn has it that the irradiation of le biological organism results in high temperatures -in le area of focus; this effect is called hyperthermia.

In oderate doses, it usually casues no difficulty; in fact, is often beneficial.

But in more heavy than moderate 3ses, the biological effects can be harmful.

Some of le noted effects of such hyperthermia are that it kills

L flies, inhibits tumour development, produces changes in the blood sugar as well as in the blood counts.

It has been noticed that irradiation of the web of a frog up to a point produces a dilation of the blood vessels; beyond that point of power concentration, vasoconstriction is effected.

doubt. As a result, there is neither greatly effective guarentee of freedom from wiretapping in Canadian society today, nor is there much of any effective legal prohibition against the other kinds of electronic surveillance at the present time.

. Unprofessional meddling and political repression Anyone of good faith and good will might be reasonably disposed to object that the threat to and the violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms of the kinds being considered does not really exist, for few persons of authority would stoop to such heinous’activities.

But a glance at the American scene could indicate that precautionary safety is preferable to dilatory sorrow. If Hale Boggs, Congressman from Louisiana, was impelled to stand up and deliver a speech in Congress on how the F.B.I. was harassing him with wiretapping and if Cornelius Gallagher, Congressman from New Jersey, was moved to complaining in Congress of an FBI sub rosa effort to ruin his career and marriage on the basis of trumped up charges, it may not be unreasonable to consider the validity of the disclosure that Pershing Cervais, in connection with the F.B.I., was said to have falsely testified against Jim Garrison; New Orleans district attorney.

While nothing is conclusively proved in regard to these cases, there is sufficient indication that it might be worthwhile to take precautions against abuses of power.

That is to say, legal provision and administrative machinery of hearing and appeal should be established 1 whereby a person or group of persons to whom injustice is being administered under the cloak of secrecy can turn with hope of just and adequate redress of grievance.

Influences including not only mere social psychological and psychological pressure but also electronically induced bio-physical sanctions are examples of abuses of political power that cannot legitimately or constituionally occur in a democratic political system. The invocation of such influences is categorically totalitarian.

A proposal for a right to privacy The Protection of Privacy Act now under post-second reading consideration by the Justice Committee of the House of Commons is a commendably constructive legislative proposal to remedy major problems deriving from the effects of technological advance in the field of surveillance and control techniques.

Fundamentally, the bill attempts to fill the legal lacunae regarding nonwiretapping surveillance, by concentrating on the theme of establishing and safeguarding the right of privacy.

As the Honorable Otto Lang, the present Minister of Justice, has astutely stated: “Privacy must mean the right to be alone, to live one’s life with a minimum of interference....

Each individual ,requires individual privacy to nourish his individual. creativity, to preserve his personality balance, and develop his individuality.”

(17) Toward this end, the Act renders the illegal (without a warrant) (18) interception-whether by electromagnetic, accoustic, mechanical, or other devicesof private communication and/or the divujgence of such communication, when unlawfully intercepted an indictable offense. 19) What was not covered’ by legal prohibition before -that is, almost all general sufveillance involving remote sensingis now made an offense.

Inclusion of most of the means of general surveillance under this provisional prohibition would allow a greater latitude for belief and expression, the exercise of which must be permitted in order to properly par.ticipate in the democratic political process.

Inasmuch as the freedoms of belief and expression are safeguarded, it becomes increasingly difficult-for a government to compel1 totalitarian conformity of political alignment.

A Canadian perspective There are several Members of Parliament in Canada who .believe that there are reasons for instituting safeguards of precious rights. They ctaim that there is need for the specific protection of these rights. To wit, there is a need for the protection of privacy, for a protection of freedom of speech, for the protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, for equal protection of the law, and for the due process of law.

Only the most advanced techniques are not necessarily covered by this legislation.

Unlike the Telephone Act of 1960, the proposed legislation has effective deterrent sanction.

It furthermore creates an offense for anyone, not properly “to possess, sel I, or purchase any authorized, devices or components of them primarily” designed for such illegal interception.

This provision should contain an element of demonstrated intent to commit ‘an act aboveproscribed.

In applying these strictures to both the citizenry and the Crown, the Act proceeds partly to implement the effect of the exclusionary rule without enacting that rule of evidence, itself, the outcome probably being increased respect for and co-operation with the law as well as increased faitti in and loyalty to the Government.

Moreover, the legislation provides for a transfer of the power to grant an authorization from the chief of police to the county judges. In effect, the granting of authorization is placed into the hands of a third or impartial authority, rather than one with a vested interest, assuring greater objectivity in the

McLaren wins

Porsches maintain . -1 I dominance

Denny Hulme of Team McLaren inherited the Labatt’s Can-Am at Mosport last Saturday after teammate Peter Revson blew an engine on the seventy-eighth lap.

Team McLaren was not the impressive powerhouse of last year, but lucked into the win barely able to keep their cars on the track because of excessive front end, shimmy in both cars. Revson later said “It felt like it would be torn out of my hands at any time”.

Mark Donahue, the winner of the 1972 Indianapolis 566, and pole qualifyer for this race, took second behind Hulme. Donahue was leading the. field gaining a second a lap on Revson until. on the sixteenth lap he encountered trouble in the turbocharger of the Penske-Porsche 917-N on the pit straight and was forced to do a complete lap at half speed. He then lost 55 seconds in the pit while the linkage to the turbocharger was repaired. Donahue came back on the track in sixth place, 2 laps down on the new leader Peter Revson in the McLaren M20.

Revson was the leading driver in last year’s Can-Am series but left the team to drive Formula I and ,USAC Indy type cars this season. This weekend he came back to Can-Am to replace Jackie Stewart who has joined Team McLaren this year, after Stewart w,as side lined by ulcers.

Excellent coverage of strike Surely the significant. thing .about the activities of Canadian Driver Pool is not that they themselves do something illegal from time to time (although that is a not unimportant consideration) but that the activity of strikebreaking per se is legal in this society. (Re editorial of June 9) ’ When the management of Dare said that their hiring of CDP was legal they made the point as clearly as it can be made.

‘Peaceful’ labour relations demand that both company and union play by the ‘rules- of the game’ which call for relatively civilized behaviour.

When a union does not play by the rules, the members are jailed and denounced by the public, when a company does-not play by the rules, the ‘law’ is invoked and workers are beaten, : about the head.

So long as we depend on a system of collective -bargaining for our

Well, I guess it’s time for me to put in my few words to make the picture a little more colourful for those who are interested.

station and they felt the same as I ,do.

It seems that as long as the station has been in existence under the federation of students there have been many different personality clashes and consequently there has never been any sort of bond between the two factions.

It has boiled down to a situation where budget time arrived and the two groups snapped at each other and then a budget was set and neither side bothered with each other again until that time the following year.

Thisyear it started much differently. The federaion in its own way tried to see if something could be done. I’m afraid that because of the fact this seems to be a time of insensibility that nothing will be accomplished.

In so far as radio Waterloo is concerned I see it as nothing more than a noise that people will tune past unless it becomes a structured, well-organised operation.

I don’t see this as possible within the framework of its present type.

When and if it does become structured in some sort of businesslike way then it might have a chance.

If this doesn’t happen soon then I say sell the whole works because it is nothing more than a waste of money and time. Think about it!

insight into scabbing documented article on this issue.

The paper and reporters are to be congratulated.

It is somewhat disturbing, even sickening, to realize Mr. Dare is so intolerant to the demands of his employees, that he would utilize the “services” provided by the Canadian Driver Pool ‘goons’ (the name is well-coined).

One constantly hears the heart-rending wails- of management that laborrelations are suffering at the hands of “greedy” workers. Yet I can see no greater damage to the laborrelations process than having Doberman-Pinschers and stormtroopers do management’s negotiating -for them. As for Mr. Grange’s comment calling plant

workers “uneducated”, I’m sure he speaks- from ,a position of authority on such a subject, since his ex-cops, crack-photographers, and T-shirt bulging truckers are no doubt all holders of degrees in terrorism, belly-scratching, , and beer-can opening.

This was something the government could popular with Canadian voters, large numbers of whom were dependent on not go into an election without.

It had promised some sort of policy American-owned companies or trade with repeatedly the United States for their jobs. The statement on foreign ownership, and Canadian voter wanted to believe that the pressure on it to fulfil that promise had-been United States was his friend. Warm words building up, especially since the publication between Nixon and Prime Minister Trudeau of a pirated version of the Gray report in the

monthly

Canadian

Forum

in November

1971.

But the report, when it was released May 2, turned out to be too pallid to be of much electoral use. It was a substantial retreat from even the mild preliminary document the Forum had published.

The Forum version had said, “If the screening process is to be able to‘ secure greater benefits from foreign direct investment, it must have real bargaining power. The law must give it the authority to refuse a potential entry or takeover....”

In the government version this became, “If the review agency is to be able to secure greater benefits from foreign direct investment, it must have substantial bargaining power.

Consideration would therefore have to be given to empowering the agency to block any proposed foreign investment which it could review.”

The only people-happy with the document were the bu.siness community and its journalistic voices : “Foreign investment unhampered,” gloated the Montreal Gazette.

It was a further demonstration of a major difficulty the government was facing: in an election year the Liberal party has to please the voters, but it also has to please its corporate backers. Sometimes these two things cannot be done at one and the same time, and the Liberals must choose.

In its January cabinet shuffle, the government had chosen to ‘please its corporate backers. In the Gray report, it chose to do so again.

Then Finance Minister John Turner announced he would be presenting a budget

;

for an May 8, and several new factors were thrown into the equation. On the one hand it meant that a June election was ruled out-with the constitutional necessity for an eight-day budget debate and a 57day campaign there wouldn’t be time. On the other hand, budgets often contain goodies that a government seeking reelection can put to work for it.

One diehard June election advocate asked Turner what he would do if Trudeau dissolved Parliament before May 8. Turner replied he would leave the country, and speculation then centred around whether Trudeau would prefer to.have Turner, often pictured as his rival waiting in the waiting in the wings for a chance to challenge him for the leadership, in the country or out of it.

Trudeau chose to keep Turner in the country, and as it turned out it was just as well. His performance budget night had some observers fondly remembering Ben Benson.

The budget contained little somethings for old age pensioners, veterans, students-and businessmen.

Its major innovation was a better tax deal for the manufacturing industry, which Turner tried to present as an employment measure.

When a reporter asked him how he knew the tax benefits would be spread around in increased employment instead of being absorbed in higher profits, Turner had to admit that he didn’t.

It was a bit difficult to find much electoral content in the budget, which didn’t contain the usual preelection general tax cuts, but there was no lack of trying. Then it was noted that the government was trying to get

\ <election the old age pension increases passed quickly so that the higher amounts could be sent out in the June cheques. The heat was on again.

The polls showed the Liberals down to 39 per cent, the Conservatives up to 35.

It was all supposed to happen Friday, May 1% And it did. But instead of making the expected announcement of a July 17 election, Trudeau announced that there would be no election at least until autumn.

Toronto Globe and Mail columnist George Bain, who knows about these things, said the decision had not been made until the cabinet meeting the day before.

But one New Democratic Party candidate thought otherwise.

“Trudeau’s playing with us,” he said. “By focussing attention on the election date he’s making sure that he, and he alone, remains in the limelight. And we’re falling into his trap. “(Former Ontario premier John) Robarts did the same thing in 1967. Everyone thought there would be a spring election and by the time the election finally was called in the fall everyone was exhausted and the atmosphere had changed.

And so did Bill Davis last year; I don’t know how many times Stephen Lewis called the election in the spring. If Davis had called the election when we wanted it instead of when he wanted it we probably would have done a lot better.

“That’s what Trudeau’s doing and it might work.” from the last post

It finally happened. a two-year freeze has been imposed on all university planned building projects. the finger has been pointed at enrollment shortfalls (shortcomings?) which reduce the university’s eligibility for capital grants. brute gellath+ vice president of finance and operations, recently said in a memo that, “no funds are available for any new commitments until after april 1,1974. there was a considerable amount of work planned for this period which now is impossible.” but wait, what’s ’ this-a school of optometry building to be constructed on 700 acres of the north campus? can there still be money left in the administration’s ‘tight’ budget? the total development, including building, landscaping, furniture, equipment and extras will cost 5 million dollars. although financing of the project is to be mainly through federal and provincial funds, the school of optometry and the university are to foot about 450,000 dollars of the cost. in the meantime, it looks like the proposed building for the ever-growing environmental studies division, which does not have any facilities of its own, will have to be shelved for at least another two years. for the time being, all space in the un/versity will be examined by a space committee, chaired by academic vice-president paul Cornell. it is supposed to assign space on the basis of availability, need and costs of alterations. Yet because of the shortage of funds we are told that “some space may become and remain vacant at various times through this difficult period.” what we need is a sensible, and realistic overview of this campus’ past, present and future space and building needs. (will the space committee do it?) but that should have begun at least before plans were made for our three newest architectural atrocities-the psychology, student services, and administrative services buildings. maybe a third or . fourth-year architectural student is interested (or irate) enough to undertake a critical review of’ these modern gems, especially the pillbox-like psychology building. is it true that this is the son of U of T’s robarts library? we hear that the university, because of recent pollution laws, has no means of destroying confidential papers. the new service, offered to all departments, employs a heavy duty shredder. for security-hyperpersonnel this sounds A-l, but watch out for those “reliable and bonded employees” who pick up the “TO BE DESTROYED” cartons-you never can tell when a dissatisfied grad, employed at the university will say to hell with alhgance. we trust our stack of confidential papers will continue to grow. not a hell of a lot left for masthead number 6. the sports coordinator offers his apologies to all persons who contributed material this week; weweretight for space, and sports lost out in this weeks’ late layout shuffle (a frenzied coordinators boogie). better coverage should resume next issue. a final sports short-all softball and slow pitch players ,~ should note that the games scheduled for july 3 will be rescheduled for july 10, and july 10 games will be moved to july 17 due to intramural night at guelph (most earth shattering masthead copy you ever did see). the following people checked their hats and dancing shoes in the chevron cloakroom this week: krista tomory, dudley Paul, chuck stoody, ellen tomlin, bob (surveillance and control) yaffee, pete Wilkinson fresh from three -days at mosport, luke aujame, terry moore, gord moore, mary holmes (who worked hard and watched this week’s shenanigans), early morning dancer melvin, doug ing, dave cubberley, paul steuwe, john mcgill, rona achilles, maria, caral czako, mart (courtroom) roberts, renzo bernardini, Winnie cabaret !ang, randy hannigan, max rideout, brian cere, mike rohatynsky, peter warrian, len greenner, and finally easy going gary robins. gm
