Early Saturday morning a large oil slick mysteriously appeared in Laurel Creek just downstream from the large storm sewer by the campus centre. An ecology-minded engineering student who’s been keeping tabs on the creek said it acculmulated sometime Saturday morning. He promptly went into action and spent his Saturday and sunday skimming off the scrunge with a jar lid. Well over three gallons of oil and a gallon of greenish scum later, he gave up the project to check on the duck pond below the health services bridge. He found that the stuff he hadn’t been able to gather up in his jar lid had drifted into the pond “to mix with the other crap in the water and be eagerly gorged upon by the ducks”. Most of the people who walked by were too busy to stop and chat with ,“Mr. Slimy Hands”. But the stuff looked pretty repulsive as it joined the cigarette butts, beer cans, plastic bags and other trash in the creek, and a few people did suggest that “something be done about it.” The trash, it’s pretty safe to assume, comes from students who can’t be bothered hanging on to their shit until they meet a waste disposal container; but the oil was a bit harder to explain. So the enviromental good Samaritan came to the chevron where an enterprising staffer contacted Ron Hudson, a chief groundskeeper for the university’s physical resources group. Hudson commented that such slicks have been spotted at least ten times recently and said that during the week when groundskeepers are on duty, an attempt is made to clean I,‘, ~ s j up the mess.

In an effort to clear up the problem, once and for all, grounds staff have followed the slicks back and traced them-not to sloppy construction-waste disposal, nor to universitysome nefarious industrial complex-but to the students who live at, the married students quarters and especially at the vihage. Hudson said that students are apparently changing the oil in their cars in their home parking lots. The dirty oil then flows into the storm sewer and into catch basins where it stays until a heavy rain washes it out and through the sewers, eventually emptying out one of several drains into Laurel Creek. And there the story ends-until the next time it rains and somebody else gets pissed off about the state of the creek, or worried about the ducks-or until all the peace and love freaks, ecology nuts, engineers, business types, artsies and etcetera who make up the bulk of the university’s population as students decide to clean up their act. -liz

Army secret leaked by p MONTREAL-Secret military documents leaked by the Parti Quebecois leader Rene Levesque have brought to light the involvement of the Canadian armed forces in domestic intelligence work across the country. The first document leaked was a 16-page report on the Confederation of National Trade Unions KNTU). It was prepared June 20, 1972 by Mobile Command Intelligence and Security Section, which is based at St-Hubert. Mobile command moved into Quebec in October 1970 as part of the War Measures Act invasion.

The document, stamped “Canadian Eye”, “Secret Canadian Eyes Only”, contains data on the internal affairs of the CNTU and personal information on seventeen CNTU officials. The uncovering of the secret papers follow last spring’s consolidation of three main union groupings-the CNTU, the Quebec Federation of Labour (QFL) and the Teacher’s Corporation (QTC&--into the Front Commun (Common Front). The CNTU is the largest of the three Common Front centrals and has been in the forefront of union politicization for the last several years. The secret papers include a snort historical background of the CNTU, analysis of its orientation, ideology, activities and leaders. In its historical section the authors of the document opine that “one of the more stable periods of the union was under the direction of Jean Marchand, now a federal minister.” The document goes on to explain the continued development of Quebec working class militancy in a most curious manner: “Inflationary pressures have created a feeling of insecurity in Quebec. Some groups are effected by unemployment, others by technological change, while others. are experiencing a deterioration in their economic and social position. The fear of falling behind is the most political pronounced phenomenon in Quebec today and explains the militancy of various groups who do not ,have the educational and financial advantages to adequately protect their interests.” This simplistic keeping-up-withthe-Jones’ analysis is a far cry from the official CNTU position on the aims and goals of its membership. A policy paper, authored by CNTU leader Marcel Pepin and adopted at the organization’s June convention, commits the CNTU to working out the contents of a “form of socialism” which would apply to our situation in Quebec the great, principles of socialism : forms of economic organization which respect the collective ownership of resources, real planning according to needs, workers’ participation in the decisions of their workplace; in sum, a real democracy.” The army report also outlines what it considers the attempts of the CNTU to form a new political representing Quebec party workers. As evidence of such intent, the document cites the La Presse rally when CNTU and QFL leaders cried that workers would never again be divided; formation of the Comm.on Front to represent 210,000 public and para-public employees in negotiations with the Bourassa government; and the establishment of citizen’s committees to organize in the communi ties. However according to the CNTU position paper, the formation of “People’s Committees” is _ ‘. I L’, :. -i-icontinud -cm. page 3

Amid a flurry of conflicting evidence the three defendants who appeared at the Waterloo Provincial Court,wednesday, on charges of petty trespassing arising from the occupation of the University of Waterloo business office last march were all found guilty. Chantal Tie-Ten-Quee, Michael Gertler and Edward Hughes received relatively harsh sentences considering the ‘pettiness’ of the offence. Reinhold Lade, the fourth person charged following last spring’s sit-in failed to show up for the trial. After a motion to have the charges dropped on a technicality in the wording was rejected by the bench, judge J.R.H. Kirkpatrick, the defensc was left in the hands of the defendants themselves. The crown’s case rested on a bevy of witnesses including the university comptroller A.H.Headlam, two security officers, and a secretary. The sentences imposed after conviction were unduly extreme and in explanation the bench said, “This court has to be demonstrative on this occassion,” in comparison with the situation leading to the charges in the first place-a demonstration on the part of the students. Chantal Tien-Ten-Quee was put on probation until September 1, 1973, to report to a probation officer every twc weeks, and banned from any campus except for the use of the librarys of Sir &George Williams and McGill, in Montreal, where she resides. This sentence was passed with the knowledge that Chantal was not attending university this year, but will be returning in 1973. Both Gertler and Hughes are still attending the University of Waterloo and for that reason the monetary fine was imposed instead of a sentence similar to that passed on Chantal. Both received the maximum fine of $100 plus court costs, with three months to PaYa --continud

For a few days last week, the staff of the Fat Angel drop-in centre adamantly refused to comment on some rather threatening accusations made by its neighbours who were backed enthusiastically by Mayor McLellan of Kitchener. The confrontation between the harried residents and the Fat Angel staff was similarly denied press coverage in deference to the encroaching battle which appropriately culminated with hand shakes and friendly agreements. The meeting was a result of a petition circulated amongst the residents of the area, complaining about foul language, a suspicion of drug usage and violation of the zoning ’ by-laws on the Angel’s facilities. The Fat Angel drop-in centre has been operating since 1967, originally as a coffee-house evolving over the years, adapting to the needs of its patrons, mostly teenagers looking for a place to socialize. Its facilities now include a television room, a reading-sun room, a games room equipped with board games, a piano room and library, a kitchen where soon a canteen will open, and a basement, now undergoing renovations. If the ‘clientele’ do require counselling services, the Angel staff members have an extensive list of referral agencies including the Welfare Office, psychiatrists, and the House of Friendship, a hostel in Kitchener. Birth control and venereal disease are openly and liberally discussed, the centre trying to make the kids aware of the moral implications and obligations involved. They are also very considerate of the neighbouring residents, many of whom are senior citizens. The residents charged that they had seen people leaving the Angel early in the morning with sleeping bags, though the Centre is not legally permitted to use the premises as a hostel. At the meeting last Wednesday September 20, Steve Bates from the Angel’s Board of Management, explained that due to the frequent break-ins last summer, the staff slept at the centre on a rotating8 basis for a short period of time, to keep watch. There is a definite rule

prohibiting use of the centre as a hostel. Every night at closing time, all the closets and rooms are checked and the windows and doors, all locked. The police have been alerted to watch the Angel but are naturally unable to be there constantly. The break-ins during the summer were caused by people looking for money, chocolate bars from the canteen, drugs (the Health Clinic, Medifree, brings all their drugs with them, taking them away when they leave) and simply a place to crash. The break-ins have since ceased. Another complaint of the residents was the use of foul language and drugs by the patrons of the Fat Angel. Of this, Ingrid Ostick, interim co-ordinator of the centre says, “We have rules in that there are definitely no crashers allowed, or any drugs or alcohol in the building. We’ve never caught anyone shooting up (as Daniel Padden, owner of the next door apartment and central figure in the organization of the residents petition claimed he once saw> but I can’t deny that someone from outside may have seen that. Neither can he prove it, though. We have no control over what other people do and I am aware that some of the neighbours’ complaints are valid. We have asked the kids to keep from swearing outside and from bothering passers-by. We very much respect their rights and privacy.” The residents also complained of violation by the Centre and its affiliated clinic, Medifree, of the zoning by-laws. The Fat Angel has an occupancy permit for thursday to sunday evenings until midnight. Therefore, Medifree clinic on Monday nights as well as its daytime counselling service are illegally held. There is a parking law that states the drop-in centre must provide eight parking spaces. They appealed the law and now provide five. To operate a clinic, three parking spaces must be provided for the doctors, leaving the centre with only two. However, as Judy McKibbon, co-ordinator of Medifree stated, very few of the clinic’s patients have cars. Most ride bicycles for which there are plenty of parking spaces. Medifree is now seeing patients and anticipate no legal action as their operation was not discussed at the meeting. Judy McKibbon emphasized that they are a clinic, not a drop-in centre. Along with the grievances of the College St. residents, Sid McLellan, mayor of Kitchener, remarked that he thought Medifree might be a duplication of existing health services in the twin cities and that medical people should evaluate the need. The fact there are always about ten people seen in the two hours that it operates monday and thursday nights would attest to the necessity of the clinic as would the high degree of confidentiality assured with treatment there. The patients are mostly kids, though there are some middle-aged single men and a few senior citizens. The major treatments are, in ranking order : infectious and contagious diseases such as influenza, hepatitis and some vaginal infections (not venereal) ; obstetrical and gynecological problems ; and other illnesses such as respiratory and stomach complaints, varying with the time of year. The clinic requires basically as much factual information as the patient wishes to give, with the emphasis on the individual doctor’s needs. However, the centre maintains its attitude of concern for health rather than red tape facts by making an internal examination and a Pap smear test obligatory in order to prescribe and dispense the Pill, without necessarily requiring a name or address. The meeting was attended by almost all the residents who signed

the forty-seven name petition, as well as by the Angel staff, their Advisory Board and part of their Board of Management. It was handled with an open mind by both groups, the Angel people well aware of their responsibilities to the neighbourhood, the residents conscious of the need for the drop-in centre and the mature attitude of the Angel staff. The outcome was the decision of the residents to form a small committee to meet with the Fat Angel people every two or three weeks to air grievances. In 1970, the Fat Angel tried to coordinate a drop-in centre organization throughout southwestern Ontario but gave up because of the high mortality rate of the other centres. The Fat Angel

Guilty from page 1 The pattern for all three trials was basically similar-the crown attempting to prove that the accused had no right to be in the financial services office, and the defense counsel, federation lawyer Morley Rosenberg, trying to prove that they had “fair and reasonable supposition that they had the right to be there”. All three defendants stated that they had been assured by others in the occupied offices that president Burt Matthews had stated that he did not care how long the people remained there-thus their right to stay had been granted. Mr. Headlam testified that when he had told the twenty to thirty people in the offices on the morning on march 23, to leave he had not been informed of Matthews decision to let them stay. All three defendants testified to the contrary-that at that moment in the offices Rick Page had explicitly told him of this understanding. Kirkpatrick took Headlam’s word over that of the defendants in all three cases. In an effort to discover if there were any acts of violence commited by the defendants, the throwing of paper darts came under examination. It appears that Chantal had sat on one of the filing cabinets tossing these darts about the room, or into the wastepaper basket. On the question of quantity Headlam stated that he had seen her throw “roughly, one”, while the security officer who had apprehended her stated that he had seen “at least four or five” over a period of ten minutes. Other than this there appeared to be no violence committed upon the officials present or upon the property of the university. Generally speaking Headlam considered the gathering “relatively” peaceable. Another blatant contradiction in the prosecution’s evidence arose in the trial of Edward Hughes. Headlam testified that he did not recall talking to Hughes specifically, while he did recognize him as one of those who had remained through the night. The security agent who apprehended ,Ilughes, officer Friedenberg , on the other hand, stated that he had stood behind Headlam while he told him to remove himself from the desk on which he was sitting. However, this contradiction was not considered important by the bench and was let pass. The third trial, that of Michael Gertler, proved to be quite interesting in that it generated the most lively debate involving Kirkpatrick, the crown counsel Mr. Johnson, Rosenberg, . and Gertler. When asked to take the oath, Gertler stated that he would prefer to affirm to tell the truth instead of continued

They seem to have’ withstood all threats to their existence including the most recent one, by meeting them with openness and responsibility. How much longer will they last? Says Ingrid Ostick, “How can anyone say? We will keep trying to meet the needs of the people. If we no longer can, there’s no point in existing just for the sake of existence.” -kim

swearing on the bible, at which point Kirkpatrick asked him which religion he adhered to. Gertler promptly refused to tell the. bench this, saying only that he did not wish to swear on the bible. Kirkpatrick did not belabour the point, but expressed some accordance with the preference for an affirmation, instead of the oath, due to the lack of “devout Christians” who would take the oath seriously. When asked in crossexamination whether he had ever participated in any previous demonstrations, Gertler stated that he had been involved in a number of political campaignsmotorcades, etc. The crown attorney bec.ame visibly unnerved at this association between conventional politics and the tactics of ‘sub-political’ groups. Rosenberg at this point made an objection on the grounds that Gertler had no previous record and that was all that was relevant to the case. In pressing this objection, Rosenberg was told to sit down by Johnson, who was then asked to apologise for this breach of courtroom decorum. The specifics of Gertler’s case were that he had been sitting on the desk of a secretary who wished to carry on with her work after reporting to the office shortly after nine o’clock on the morning of thursday march 23. Gertler stated that he believed that the secretary had been sent in as the “first line of the administration” and had been coerced into at-

Council again Another week. Another council meeting. Yawn. With much grumbling, get-onwith-it’s and quorum counting, Wednesday night’s council meeting produced the following decisions : Federation treasurer Doug Austrom will function as interim BSA chairman until someone is chosen to replace Paul Dube who resigned recently. Only one more large concert for winter weekend will be organized for this year beyond those already booked. The decision follows the loss of $6,000 on the Ike and Tina Turner do, and the projected loss of several thousands more on Edgar Winter. The salaries for the federation president, Radio Waterloo manager and Chevron editor, news editor and production manager were raised to $90 per week from $80. The raise was based on the six per cent federal wage increase guideline and the rise in the cost of living, recognizing that the salaries have not been changed since 1968 *'

tempting to carry on business in the midst of the twenty odd people occupying the office. He testified that she had appeared visibly nervous and under the sharp surveillance of her superiors. The crown then asked if this nervousness could be attributed to the “hoodlums” who had occupied the area. After an objet tion by Rosenberg, Johnson withdrew the word hoodlums. When asked if he could identify the secretary, Gertler said it would be difficult, at which point Johnson asked a young lady to enter the court to see if Gertler could recognize her. Gertler said that he would be perjuring himself if he said yes, but that she did look like a secretary. Kirkpatrick then interjected with, “She’s clean and neat and tidy, is that how you tell a secretary from a student?” The rest of the questioning resulted in a conviction and the mentioned sentence of $10 fine plus court costs. In passing sentence on all three of the accused, Kirkpatrick seemed concerned with the preservation of freedom within the existing legal structure. In the sentencing of the first accused Kirkpatrick said,“To guard our freedom we must insist that protest be done within the laws of democracy.” And on these grounds, and the urging of the crown counsel, the maximum fines were levied, and a rather harsh probationary period imposed on one of the three defendants. --john

The position of orientation chairman is to be taken over by the BSA chairman who will recieve an $80 per week salary over the summer. Honoraria for the federation board chairmen and vice-president were raised from $250 to $300 per year with the treasurer remaining at the previous honorarium level of $300.

After that, there was no quorum, but the few tired bureaucrats remaining continued discussion on a pre-referendum ballot to determine students feelings about possible alternatives to determine students feelings a bout possible alternatives to the OFS fees strike proposal. Perhaps most indicative of the state of council was the instruction to the recording secretary from both the federation vice-president and the executive assistant (who didn’t hear if first time round> to enforce the “rule of three”. In other words, council members who miss three meetings in a row without legitimate excuse will be weeded out and replaced in a byelection. There have been two official meetings this year, so several members of council will shortly be recieving notice that they are about to miss their third and final meeting unless they mend their ways. -1iz

David among the people The David Lewis Political Candidate Campaign Show and Travelling Waffle Demonstration swept hurriedly on and off the Waterloo campus monday ‘with little advance publicity and consequently a small turnout. It left behind nothing but a few minutes of film for CBC, showing the NDP leader mixing amiably with universty students. Mission accomplished. Ostensibly, simply a guest visit to a man and enviroment class, the appearance was not advertised except to a few students by word of mouth and was scheduled for the intimate, if bare, confines of a social sciences lounge. By the time Lewis arrived 15 minutes late, the setting appeared to be exactly what Davis’ staff-and the travelling press accompanying him-wanted to see: about a hundred students crammed into the small room, sitting in chairs, but mostly on the floor. It was almost a toss-up whether there were more press members or more students. Lewis edged his way through the students sitting on the floorthough he could easily have entered the room from the entrance behind the microphones-then suddenly sat down himself and began to chat with the surprised and embarassed students around him. They knew he was not speaking to them, but smiled wanly anyway as the press photographers eagerly zeroed in on the inviting tableau. Picture it: this veteran politician in his sixties who had made the pseudo-hip term “corporate rip-off” a household phrase for this federal campaign sitting amidst a sea of hairy university faces smiling and chatting. Not standing up and addressing them, mind you, but sitting there on the fucking floor with them! A weary campaign photog’s dream; a move worthy of the Big P himself. Satisfied that enough pictures of David Among the People had been snapped, Lewis abruptly rose and got on with the business at hand. Using the man and enviroment label of the class as a springboard, he branched out on a variation of the “corporate welfare bum” and “corporate rip-off” theme of his campaign by attacking the tax collusion between the Trudeau regime and resource industries. Since 1951,” he charged, “the share of federal revenues from direct taxes paid by corporations has slid from 29.8 per cent to 12.2 per cent, while the share paid by individuals has rocketed to 49.9 per cent from 27.8 per cent.” Of this increasing break for industry, he said, resource industries have been by far the main beneficiaries, with the latest figure showing that 87 per cent of metal mines and 82 per cent of oil and gas wells pay no income tax at all. It is outrageous, he charged, that only one in IO metal mines and one in five ,oil and gas wells pay income

the

tax in Canada when only about half the 2oO,ooO corporations in the country pay anyway. “The tax laws are being used to encourage rapid exploitation of our natural resources with little regard for pollution, for the depletion of essential raw materials, and in fact for sound economic development,” he said. As an example of current policy, Lewis pointed to the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, fast becoming a controversial campaign issue in the west. “The government is already out hustling applications, even though there are still no conclusive findings on the enviromental and consequences, despite warnings that it could seriously jar the economy.‘ The only enviromental studies finished so far are by the oil companies.” He estimated that the pipeline would eventually cost so much that foreign borrowing to finance it could drive up the Canadian dollar and make domestically manufactured exports more expensive in world markets, all for the sake of a few hundred jobs when the construction is over. He cautioned that statements made by Trudeau in response to tax break charges that tax laws are being evened out are not to be taken at face value. “The government backed down a long way, in the face of lobbying from the resource industries, from the tax proposals contained in the Carter Commission Report and in the white paper on taxation, and we will have to fight hard, I am sure, to prevent new loopholes from being opened up before 1977 (when Trudeau’s tax reforms of industry take effect).” Following his prepared remarks (passed out in bulletin form to the press), Lewis joked and waffled his way through a rapid question period which was due as much to the crowd being uninspired and docile as to him being a politician. On lessening immigration and citizen requirements: “The time required for citizenship should be shortened and it should be easier to become a citizen.” On the Ontario university fee strike: “I don’t know enough about it. But even a Tory government should have more sense than to increase university fees.” (Applause, surprise ! ) On legalization of marijuana : “I’m in a difficult situation on that, due to conflicting information. I don’t feel society would be right in legalizing marijuana on the information now available, but we do oppose it being under the criminal code... I’m just sorry that the problem is there and that so many people use it.” On tax concessions to foreign investors : “I’m not afraid of scaring off foreign capital. They’re here because of the resources, not because of the tax concessions.” What if the indigenous people of the North didn’t want the pipeline? “It would be a major consideration. I would be dishonest to tell you it would be the only consideration, but it would be a major one.” On the Pickering Airport Controversy : “I am not convinced of the necessity of another mammoth airport near Toronto, just as I am not convinced of the necessity of mammoth passenger planes now. They are more a status object for a small group of people than a social necessity.” There was once a time when major political leader in the U. S. or Canada feared walking onto a university campus during a campaign because of the expected roasting, but times have changed. Instead of being roasted, David Lewis basked in the warmth of the show put on for the national and local press. -george

to an unadvertised peiformance Waffle Demonstration, monday

Ryerson students oppose Sword TORONTO (CUP) - A coalition of Ryerson students has organized a strong protest over. the appointment of John Sword to their Board of Governors. They started the action monday by asking for the removal of Sword when over 1,200 students signed a petition calling for the immediate removal of the former acting president of the University of Toronto. There has also been widespread support from Ryerson faculty who think Sword could damage Ryerson. Other campus groups such as the women’s liberation and the Student’s for a Democratic Society have indicated they will be supporting the action to the end. The coalition is calling for a demonstration on Wednesday night when Sword officially takes his position on the board. The demonstration will confront the board of governors at their meeting to present their grievances and the petition and to ask for the removal of Sword. The students don’t want Sword for several reasons, stemming mainly from his actions as U of T president.During his term there, he called police onto campus twicehe called police on campus twiceonce last july to evict the transient hostel and again last march during the John Robarts library dispute. The students are also questioning the fact that the University of Toronto should have an appointee on the Ryerson board ‘at all. The appointment is a provision of bill 81- the Ryerson charter. Under the same bill, the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario also has a standing member. The coalition says the act is outdated and Ryerson is big enough without outside interests. They would like to see the bill revised to include four students on the board, four faculty and four outside members plus the president. At present it has only two students and faculty and eight outside m.embers (including the U ._. .,. /C. : . I

If the students are not satisfied at the Wednesday board meeting, they will demonstrate friday when provincial minister of colleges and universities George Kerr visits Ryerson. “John Sword is wrong for the said student council school,” president Dave Guptill. “I don’t feel he can serve the best interests of Ryerson given the political climate that has been generated around the man.” Tony Cote, editor of the Ryerson student paper The Eyeopener and one of the coalition organizers warned, “We won’t settle for anything less than the removal of Sword from the board and a change in bill 81 to make sure this type of situation doesn’t occur again.” The Ryerson administration accepted Sword’s appointment last

designed not only to unite all workers in the area but also to maintain union independence by “Resisting the temptation” to form a new party or formally support an existing one. The mobile command’s information on CNTU leaders deals with their political activities and criminal charges brought against them for these actions. For example, Jean-Yves Vezina is described as a “professional agitator responsible for all revolutionary cells in Montreal”. Vezina is thus considered a oneman revolution. But the grassroots militancy that fueled the AprilMay actions-which included widespread strikes, the shutting down of major newspapers, takeover of radio stations and even of complete towns-cannot be explained by the official picture of an anarchist minority leading the rank and file by the nose into murder and mayhem against their better instincts. On the contrary, the membership has consistently been more willing to continue strike action than the union bureaucracy itself. CNTU president Marcel Pepin in commenting on the leaked documents charged that the report is full of blatant factual errors and unfounded accusations. “Is the Canadian army going to behave like the CIA in Canada?” asked Pepin. “Is it trying to introduce a police state ,in .our midst?‘.’ , L , , I

spring. Administration president .Mordell said he would do everything possible to change the situation and admitted he hadn’t considered the possibility of student reaction to the appoin tment . At the time, ‘everything possible’ was interpreted to mean that Sword would not take his seat on the board. Mordell said he would go right to Kerr if Sword did not resign on his own initiative. It has become apparent that Mordell didn’t follow this course of action and probably never intended to. In several meetings held tuesday Mordell and his associates stated they did not want to see any they said they could handle the Ryerson students, but feared groups from off campus. Several groups are expected from the University of Toronto to support Wednesday’s action. QFL executive member, Fernand Daoust considers the documents an indication that our system “is slowly sinking into fascism”, while PQ leader Rene Levesque labelled the mobile command a “mini-gestapo”. The federal defence department has acknowledged the authenticity of the report, and said that the material was for the use of military commanders and not for politicians ! Acting defense minister C.M. Drury claimed that all information was obtained from newspapers and the army was not spying on unions. However a police informant in Montreal has said that military intelligence units in Quebec have expanded rapidly in recent months and that they work in close liaison with the Royal Canadian - Mounted Police, the provincial police and the Montreal city police department. A defence department statement has also acknowledged that commands across the country have compiled similar reports on their own regions. It is not known what organizations and individuals these reports involve. The basis for stepped up armed forces intelligence operations is the “White Paper on Defence Policy”, published in August 1971. The paper said that the army must have the capability to deal with “violent revolutionaries” if “another challenge to Canadian democracy” like the October 1970 crisis and invasion of Quebec, happens again. This is probably the reason why one-third of mobile command’s 20,000 troops are stationed in Quebec: . . . . I , . \ t 1. .

1972

The ’ politics of political ,

constant bickering between certain members that tended to stifle discussion and construe tive criticism. ’ Once people got down to business it became increasingly clear that the students were working within -the faculty’s framework, that the faculty position was not to be challenged. One of the first problems brought out was that in general, most of the faculty did not give a damn about the situation students found themselves in. The faculty admitted their tendency toward involvement in personal research at the expense of both teaching responsibilities and their- more general responsibilities towards students. As discussion continued, the faculty began to express the opinion that no one would be so foolish as to be deaf to students demands; lending legitimacy to the student position in faculty eyes was the fact that in the past they had come up with some of the more productive ideas for the department.

The report The recommendations in the report of the commission that studied the political science department this summer are designed to guarantee students will play a “decisive role” in the affairs of the department. The report indicates there should be “no activity carried on within the department-whether academic or administrative-that is not open for scrutiny to all faculty members and students majoring in political science” and that “every internal committee of the department have a membership of equal numbers of faculty and students.” One of the most serious problems students commonly face is lack of control over decision-making processes of the departments. Hence their needs are not met. As a result, on several occasions last the political science year, department found itself with student dissent. Involved students organised and lobbied for the establishment of a ‘collective one that would department’, provide the basis for faculty and students to share control and responsibility for allocating resources. The faculty rejected the idea out of hand. The reasons given had to do with the university’s restrictions on the department’s internal operations. The faculty continually appealed to students’ co-operation in understanding these external constraints. Still, it is curious that they couId not understand the fact that a collective department would demand this good will and cooperation from students and faculty alike. The faculty, including the chairman, could at any time have decided to override the university thereby demonconstraints, strating to the students their good, will. Instead Terry Qualter department chairman, called a “royal commission” to investigate the problems and recommend solutions. Once the commission was underway one of the first problems, facing the students was the apathy of faculty, who maintained that they would not be prepared to do anything unless the students showed some initial commitment. It was difficult, however, for students to get faculty members to simply sit down and talk, with everyone interacting as equals. Professors complained that sessions were too long, points were belaboured, or that there was simply no point in getting into the problems facing students in the department. There was also a

At a meeting of the Political Science Union called to discuss the report, president Gary Gardiner explained that the suggested committee structure would be able to deal with most of the problems students face in the department. He added, “if the report is accepted by the faculty, students will be guaranteed maximum participation in the affairs of the department.” The report provides the committee structure necessary to allow maximum interaction

between faculty and students. But it also states that “committees are not the final decision-making body. They are concerned primarily to provide a forum for the careful discussion of existing departmental policies ,and practices, and make recommendations for the reform of these where necessary.” The power of decision-making still rests within the departmental meetings and with the chairman. Gardiner explained that it would have been fruitless to demand open departmental meetings with student representation. He added, “the faculty would never agree to student representation at these meetings, and if they were forced open by students, all that faculty need do is meet elsewhere, even if it means going off campus.”

faculty and students. The faculty , however, betrayed their own “good will’ by clinging to their power base, excusing their actions by hiding behind the cloak of “university regulations.” Students should be aware that the faculty will in all probability accept the report verbatim. However, the most students can legitimately hope to achieve is powerto propose recommendations to faculty meetings, a governing body on which they are still not represented. Students can sit on any number of committees . . .until they choke on red tape.

The study concludes that “the most serious problem facing the department is a complete and total breakdown of communication between students and faculty.” To combat these crippling conditions, the roots of which it does not analyse beyond the aforementioned generalizations, the report recommends extensive changes in the format of departmental government.

RAP ROOM

Head I count down It falls upon one poor soul, once a year, to report on the enrolment figures and related tidbits of great import to the University of Waterloo population. Such a report is what follows. According to the latest official release from the registrar’s office, as of September 19, the total undergrad enrolment stands at 9,539 this is full time students only. This figure differs from last year’s in that it is greater by 352. It breaks down as follows: Arts-2,010; Engineering-l ,777 ; Integrated Studies-65; Environmental Studies-297 ; Math-2,191; Physed-807 ; Science-l ,619 and 143 or so people unaccounted for on the present tabulation. These figures break down even further, but for the sake of readability, will not be included in this work. Added to this total figure are about 1,176 graduate students, 1,529 engineers and others on work term in co-op, and around 500 people from church colleges; all of this amounting to the rather sketchily added sum of 12,700 students. Which brings us to the object of this story: the BIU (Basic Income Unit). This represents the sum of money given over to the education of an individual student for the period of one school year and is set at $1,765. The figure varies both within and between faculties. According to rule, each student in Arts is worth between 1 and 2 BIUs depending on course and year. Under the same circumstances, the allotment moves from 1 to 2 for students in Environmental Studies and Math. It varies from 1 to 3 for people in Science and is a consistant 2 for all engineers, 1 for people in Integrated Studies and l1/2 for Physed students. Traditionally, universities found a means for aquiring operating costs through use of the

lobby and contacts in the Department of Colleges and Universities. To alleviate ensuing problems and inequities, a formula for grants was introduced in the sixties which involves a projection, taking into consideration such factors as rises in the cost of living index, of the necessary BIU for the oncoming year. Subtracted from this, is the standard fee, a tabulation taken from the median of all of the various university fees across Ontario. The difference represents the grant portion of the BIU, the rest of the required amount being left to the respective universities to raise. This latter amount is called the fee portion. By way of relating this to the present situation of fee hikes, the formulation of the BIU has always remained fairly even with fluctuations in the cost of living. In fact, it had several years ago risen higher in relation to that index. In the case of this year’s fee increase, however, where the cost of living index has risen approximately 5 percent, the BIU has _ risen only 2.02 percent. The effect of this is to increase the fee portion of the BIU and place the onus on the student to make up the increasing necessary amount to cover the cost of operating. Stemming this way, from government as opposed to on campus directive, serves also to take the heat off the particular universities. To clarify this somewhat, the BIU rose $106 from ‘69-‘70 to ‘70-‘71, cutback a little with an increase of $80 from ‘70-‘71. It dropped drastically in ‘72-‘73, with an increase of only $35. One only need look at decrease in BIU allotment to see how the cutback works. There is one point of interest which is connected to the standard fees across Ontario as they relate to those of U. of W. Whereas a standard fee is set, for instance, in Arts, at $585, the same basic fee is set here at $624, $39 more than the base from which the BIU is built. This difference between the standard and actual fees is termed free income and is used here largely to run ventures like the Coop system. As would appear obvious, it was not reduced to balance the effects of the grant cutback and offset the fee increase. At present, it remains, with present and prospective increases in tuition.

Student as child When the want-ad says ‘adults only’, don’t bother picking up the phone...... -george

and deanna kaufman,

the chevron

At what point does a university student become an adult? According to realty companies and persons renting houses and apartments, only upon becoming a graduate or obtaining a job in the real world or getting married; whichever comes first or a viable combination. . . For a long time, students in North America have known they are informally treated as second-class citizens at best and non-productive pampered leeches on society more often. Jerry Farber’s book “Student as Nigger” added the student class to women, Quebecois and other minorities clambering to be in the same downtrodden category as the original niggers Though the analogy is stretched even farther to cover students than it is in the case of the other minorities, still “the student” is somehow not a real person, generally considered to be in a twilight zone between childhood and the full privileges of adulthood. One of the areas where discrimination against students becomes least subtle is the one in which the nonproductive leeches on society feed the most money to the real adults-housing. When ads for apartments or houses for rent say “Adults only”, they mean generally “NO students.” Others are less subtle, and simply say “No students” without the euphemisms. A survey of Kitchener-Waterloo area renters indicates that most are not willing to rent to students at all, many others will rent to students but with restrictions not placed upon any other class of rentee, but very few will rent to students unconditionally. In a telephone survey of random rentors advertising in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, in which the 16 advertisers were first asked if they would consider renting to students, 10 replied no, five said they would with restrictions and only one said yes with no qualifications. I The office of the realty company which owns many of the K-W area’s high-rise apartment houses was phoned, and a spokesman was asked the company policy on renting to students. She replied that there was no policy regarding students, and that all decisions of that sort are left up to the building managers. However, a call to seven managers of the company’s apartment buildings showed that there must be some sort of policy, whether written or understood. Four refused to rent to a caller identified as a student, and the other three said they would, but under a restricted lease. Restricted leases are an ingenious way by which rentors (mainly large apartment houses owned by large realty companies) can exploit the large student rentee market but continue to discriminate against students as a class while doing so. These “special leases” run eight or nine months instead of the usual full year-ostensibly to tailor itself to the needs of the students’ school year since many students leave their university town due to graduation, returning to hometown or to find work. The catch, however, is that a higher monthly rent is charged than the normal lease-holders pay, supposedly to pay for the months in the summer when it will be hard to find rentees. It is hard to tell whether these “special leases” with higher rents exist only to scare off students while still appearing to rent to students, or just to rip off the money from the students. The concept of the “student lease” is faulty on two points, though. First, it is the rentor’s responsibility to fill the apartment houses, and it js generally as easy during the summer months as during the winter. Second, the student winds up paying more than the normal lease-holder, even when the higher payments are projected over the normal 1Zmonth period. This is clearly in opposition to the landlord-tenant act, but just shady enough not to justify any action against the practice. After all, they are doing students a “favour” by offering specially-tailored leases, right? Another way the anti-student bias manifests itself is the manner in which students renting in a large apartment house are “segregated” from the rest of the normal, adult rentees. Some buildings restrict students to one or two floors, in an attempt to keep them from interfering with the normal lives of the adult inhabitants. YOU know how those students are always having wild parties and running their stereos up loud, eh? Many buildings restrict the number of students who may live in one apartment, though nosuch “quota” attempt is made with regular families. In most apartment buildings, no one more than two males or females may live together in a one-bedroom apartment. Unfortunately, the same sort of conditions prevail when trying to rent houses, which many students are trying to do now. It is, of course, true that some landlords have been badly treated by student rentees when a lot of students were living in one house. Some houses in the area’ have been badly trashed by the students, and some landlords have been set back for a bit of money fixing the place again to rent it. Thus, many landlords realize students are interested in renting houses in which quite a few of them will live, and landlords are being super-cautious with some’reason. But the acts of some do not legitimately brand the class; and those causing the damage should be dealt with through the courts instead of causing the next prospective rentees to lose the house without a chance. The upsurging ‘interests in sharing .a house instead of living in, sterile apartment buildings has had a tendency to drive house rentals up, but houses are still generally a savings monetarily when the rent is shared, and the aesthetics of houseliving vs. highrise isn’t even worth discussing. Ditto for on-campus residences, which will not even be discussed here. Despite. the many barriers to students trying to find a place to live without being ripped-off, there is an intriguing game you can play which will get you around these easily, if you’re not afraid to compromise yourself b.y dressing up for an appearance and you don’t look like you just stepped out of the media-induced Haight-Ashbury of the middle-class mind. It’s called lying, an accepted and even glorified practice in everyday business. Several Chevron reporters made back-to-back calls to many K-W rentors advertising in the Record, both apartments and houses. On the first call, the student identified himself as such and asked simply whether the rentor would consider students, As indicated by the accompanying chart, most replied no or stated the

you want to The neglect of jazz by most of the Now Generation is a sad but understandable reasonably The distance betphenomenon. ween modern jazz and contemporary rock is at least as great as between baroque and electronic classical music, meaning there’s not much chance you’re going to get into it from The Beatles. The best modern jazz is free, unstructured, complex, intellectually demanding, and fiercely emotional music ; conventional harmonies, tonalities, and chord progressions have been pretty well discarded, to be used for contrast if at all. Taken in large doses, it can also be quite overwhelming ; after listening to John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, I don’t want to hear anything else, in the same way that reading Joyce’s Ulysses makes tackling anything more than a newspaper momentarily impossible. Another case in point is Black Unity (Impulse AS-9219), Pharoah Sanders’ new album. Two people have walked in while I’ve been playing it and made “What on earth is that noise?” type comments, and they’ve helped to clarify my thoughts about proselytizing for modern jazz. Black Unity is cut from whole cloth: it builds from a thoroughly conventional “cool” riff into a sustained scream of exultation, twin basses and drums going four rhythmic ways at once, Sanders’ burning tenor sax and two other horns cascading over them like pied pipers of the future. To drop in on such music cold is rather like attempting sexual intercourse without foreplay-it’s possible, but it’s a lot more enjoyable to start from square one. Because Pharoah Sanders is not a 17-year old kid with three chords and a big amplifier. Nor is he some kind of charlatan who plays formless music for esoteric intellectuals; traditional jazz fans to the contrary. Sanders is a highly educated sop his tica ted, musically man who spent years in apprenticeship to John Coltrane, and has now achieved a similar mastery of the jazz idiom. To get into his music, a little growing and stretching and casting off of comfortable musical cliches is absolutely necessary-but when more is possible, why settle for less? I realize how condescending I must seem in suggesting that the appreciation of the best modern an act of selfjazz requires improvement on the part of the listener. But I also think it’s true, given my own slow progression from Bruebeck to Cannonball to Miles to Coltrane; it takes time and some concentrated listening: not to mention opportunity. Where to start, for the novitiate? A

tough question, but one possible sequence would be: “Dark Star” from Live Dead, “Sunday Morning” on Charles Lloyd’s Love-In, “Sangria for Three” on the Tony Williams Lifetime’s Emergency, and “Filles de Kilmanjaro” on the album of the same name by Miles Davis. Listen slow, listen hard, and some Utopian day the gym will resound to the sounds of actual music. Until then, albums such as Black Unity will do nicely.

Jazz briefs Gasca (Blue Thumb BTS 37) : an alumnus of the Tower of Power horn section who appeared on the superb Malo album, Luis Gasca here demonstrates that he is both a capable leader-producer and a superior trumpet player. Using such excellent sidemen as Joe Henderson, Carlos Santana, and the latter’s rhythm section, he has fashioned four extended works which nicely amalgamate jazz and rock with Latin-American music. Although Gasca and Henderson take most of the solos, the most delightful thing about this release is the incredible rhythmic interplay among the percussionists, which even surpasses that on the 3 fine Santana albums. It’s a “Can’t Sit Down” production all the way, and while I haven’t seen much hype for it, Luis Gasca is definitely one of the most enjoyable new releases to come my way in recent months. Spirit Dance (Impulse AS-9215) by Michael White: after very fruitful stints (musically if not economically) with John Handy and The Fourth Way, Michael White’s first album as a leader covers ground with which he is thoroughly familiar . The long, singing violin lines, underlaid by an excellent rhythm section featuring Baba Omson’s African percussion, have become a bit choppier-perhaps even self consciously “avante-garde” when White essays pizzicato effects-but are still more lyrical than angry, delicate rather than impassioned. An additional horn would not have been out of place-on many of the tracks I kept waiting for John Handy or Mike Neck to stride forth with a strong solo statement-but on the whole White shoulders the added responsibility well, and has obviously spent some time communicating his musical intentions to his sidemen: although they are less prominent, the band is well integrated and one never feels that this is one of those “famous name plus whatever rhythm section happened to be in town” albums which dominated jazz in the late 50’s and early 60’s. In comparitive terms, Spirit Luis

Dance is neither as complex nor as powerful as the recent work of Ornette Coleman or Pharoah Sanders; but it is an interesting change of pace by an undeservedly obscure artist, and succeeds in establishing an independent validity on the borderline between mainstream and modern jazz. California Concert (CT1 CTX 2 & 2) : 2 Lps of live work by modern “mainstream” jazz menHubbard, Turrentine, Benson, Laws-which is both simpler and much less involving than the albums discussed above. These musicians have been making similar recordings for years, so I guess somebody out there likes them. My attention, however, wandered outrageously throughout most of California Concert, al though the nitty-gritty saxophone solos of Stanley Turrentine perked things up occasionally. Nothing offensive, mind you, and if I were still into tete-a-tete dinner dates or cocktail parties, this album would certainly have at least some functional validity in providing music to do something else by; but I’m not, you probably aren’t, and on the whole we’re both probably better people for it. World Galaxy (Impulse AS-92181 by Alice Coltrane: any album with a Peter Max cover, a dedication to “That Great Cosmic Unseen”, and narration by Swami Satchindananda is going to put me on guard even before I listen to it, although I doubt that I would have warmed tQ this music under any circumstances. In its incredibly grandiose string orchestrations and general torpor World Galaxy graphic

reminds me of nothing so much as Richard Strauss’ Metamorphosen, a piece of late-Romantic weepiness for 18 or 27 or 36 violins; comparitively, Ravel’s Bolero swings. As another fruit of the The Great Swami Invasion, this release is not so much poisoned. as it is thoroughly bland. For further proof, compare Alice’s late husband’s fiery interpretation of “My Favorite Things” with the tepid version on World Galaxy: John’s soars and exults, Alice’s makes passes at getting off the ground but finally falls flat. As an accompanist for both John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, she has done excellent work, but her solo albums have never been anything more than that deadliest of critical words, “promising”. Since World Galaxy is her sixth album, perhaps it is time to change the adjective to “superfluous”. -Paul

Pink stink Obscured by Clouds (Harvest ST-11078), the latest offering from

Pink Floyd, is something of a diversion from their recent efforts. No 15 minute cuts, and ten songs comprising a bit of a mixture. Some, such as “The Gold It’s In The...” , go back a long way into the rock that the Floyd emerged from, and do a good job of it. Probably because it is a film soundtrack (The Valley), a number of the cuts are instrumental. Some of these are best listened to as background music, although “Mudmen” captures the dreamy quality that characterized Atom

Heart

Mother.

If you liked Pink Floyd before, you’ll like this one. Especially since they’re more versatile here than they have been in a while. However, there’s nothing new and it must be judged an adequate presentation rather than something to be ecstatic about. Good Times A’coming (A & M SP 4388) is the second album from Hookfoot (Elton John’s band). Presumably it’s supposed to be good timey rock’n’roll, but all I could hear were some hackneyed rock riffs, and lyrics that would embarrass Bernie Taupin (if that’s possible). Hookfoot seems to encapsulate much of what is bland and mediocre about most contemporary rock. -ian

Sweet and clean for John John

Hammond’s latest album (Columbia KC 31318) has a very appropiate title. The album comes off as a product by a performer who has been around and who knows the kind of music he likes to produce. I’m Satisfied is a blend of acoustic’ and electric styles with the electric fortunately not overwhelming the subtle dobro guitar passages. Hammond has resisted the all-too-prevalent compulsion to amplify and desecrate. Where he does rock it out as in “Outside Your Door” and “Further Up the Road” he does it with style and appreciation of the basic blues form. Hammond’s mouth-harp breaks here are sweet-timing and phrasing just right. And, due to the soft acoustic approach to the album, the individual lines of voice, backing voca$, guitars, piano, organ and horns are all clear within the blending. For those who are used to Hammond’s earlier folk-blues albums, this album may take a little while to get used to and to appreciate it for what it is. Hammond, now an accomplished musician and sure of himself, includes a cut, “I’m Satisfied,“, which is almost pure Ray Charles soul complete with strings and a harmonizing female vocal group. A lesser musician just couldn’t get away with that. Hammond apparently has learned much from others in both the blues and rock fields. Several cuts (“If You Ever Need a Man” and “From Four Until Late”) start with acoustic guitar licks ala Robert Johnson while there are guitar riffs in “I’m Gonna Leave” that if not done by Duane Allman then there’s a fine new guitarist to be discovered. Two of the best cuts on the album, “Mama T’aint Long for Day” and “From Four Until Late” are a fine blend of acoustic and electric guitars plus a dobro and blues piano in “Mama”. But my appreciation of these two songs probably shows my prejudice for acoustic blues since Hammond does an equally fine job on the faster, rockier electric blues. Delaney Bramlett formerly of Delaney and Bonnie produced this album which has only one flawthe back up musicians who do an outstanding job of helping Hammond bring it all together are not listed anywhere on the jacket. This mistake will hopefully be rectified on later albums. I’m Satisfied

the chevrdn -

Agony at easter By the end of the 20th century, those who pause to consider the history of that period may well be searching for some catch-phrase with which it can be labelled. At this point in time, we could suggest, “The century of revolution.” That phrase will, in the mind of some future historian, conjure the Russian Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, and the still embryonic Third World revolution. It is doubtful, however, if it will bring to mind the Irish rising of Easter week, 1916. If “Agony At Easter”, by Thomas Coffey, is an indication of the calibre of research and writing now being devoted to the Easter Rebellion, that event will soon stand beside more familiar and, indeed, more successful revolts. In 1916, the uprising in Dublin was given little attention by a world already too familiar with war and death. In fact, the Irish themselves took a dim view of the insurgents in their midst. Coffey’s book is filled with details of Dublin’s hostile reactions. Here is the way the rebels were greeted after their surrender : “the defeated insurgents quickly learned how most Dubliners felt about their rebellion . . .. . .waving British flags they bore down on the advancing column of prisoners.. . . . ‘Dirty bowsies’ they shouted. ‘Murderers ’ . ‘Guttersnipes’ “. This attitude of hostility turned to sympathy in light of the next few weeks. Shocked by the brutal executions which the British saw as fit punishment for the leaders, Ireland suddenly discovered and adopted a legion of patriotic martyrs. Ireland could no longer regard the rising as a nuisance or a prank, since the British were so obviously treating it as a major event. Therein in Coffey’s view, and mine, lies the success of an otherwise suicidal revolt. The Easter rebels lost all of their leaders to British revenge, including James Connolly and Padraic Pearse. They brought physical ruin on many parts of Dublin and Irishmen were to suffer the reverberating shock waves of British repression. In spite of that, the rising fostered the revival of Ireland’s sagging spirit, and paraded before the world Britain’s willingness to sacrifice men on the altar of colonial domination. In some ways, Colfey does dwell on the absurd aspects of the rising. Certainly, the sight of some fifty men parading through O’Connell Street in all manner of pseudomilitary dress on their way to occupy the Post Office, inspires laughable visions. Yet, Coffey eradicates that glimmer of humour with a moving and dramatic account of the day-to-day events. Far from

being comic soldiers, the rebels become brave and heroic figures, aware both of what they were doing, and of their reward, if unsuccessful. It is now the British who are mock soldiers, and were their reprisals not so tragic it is they who would be objects of laughter. Coffey has added a welcome touch of literary style to an historical work. The rising is followed in minute detail, over the seven day period. Each of the several leaders is made real through use of historically correct and verifiable conversations. It is’almost as though we were reading an historical novel, yet Coffey never lets the reader forget the tragic reality of the entire story. The last decade has seen a renewal of interest in a long neglected Irish History. Hopefully the interest and involvement will not flag. Then the importance of the 1916 rising will assert itself, placing it up front in the “century of revolutions”. -jon

salient characteristic of Reel Plastic Magic is Kardish’s uncritical admiration of everything which could be reasonably be considered “film”. Since the book deals only with american film-making, this results in the canonization of such modest contributions as Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, The Gunfighter, and They died With Their Boots On, which are superior to the average Hollywood production, but still reveal the ill effects of the star system and mediocrity-by-committee. In taking this approach Kardish obscures the merits of such truly exceptional american films as Sunrise and Citizen Kane, and also makes it rather difficult to comprehend the new american cinema of Altman, Cassavetes, de Antonio, the Maysles brothers, et al, which is heavily dependent upon the innovations of European direc tars. A typical example of Kardish’s pervasive euphoria is his one reference to George Cukor, which lauds him for his “elegant” films Dinner at Eight (1933) and Camille (1937). Given those dates, you’d figure that Cukor was some sort of old master-or perhaps died young and unappreciated, eh? Well, not quite. Cukor went on to become one of the more prolific Hollywood directors, turning out a substantialnumber of turkeys

where’s the ,magic? As interest in film increases, the range of books about the cinema has also grown, to the point where abstract treatises by Siegfried Kracauer rub dust-covers with glossy picture-books by such as Richard Schickel (Life’s reviewer) on the neutral shelves of campus bookstores. Having achieved some horizontal coverage of the subject, a process of vertical integration could hardly be far behind; thus the publication of Lawrence Kardish’s Reel Plastic Magic, which appears to be aimed at the teen-age market, probably signals a spate of popularizing efforts in the area of “film appreciation.”

(The Model and the Marriage Broker, Bhowani Junction, and Edward, my Son) as

well as the odd “camp” film enjoyable precisely because of its uncompromising vulgarity (The Chapman Report). While it may be more charitable to ignore Cukor’s later work, it will also be quite misleading to anyone unfortunate enough to have his first experience of film through Reel Plastic Magic.

The phenomenon of imaginative, original movies being produced by novice directors, followed by a rapid decline into the acceptance of Hollywood conventions, is a familiar pattern in the history of the american cinema, and points to the necessity of understanding the socioeconomic aspects of the film industry. Since. Kardish discusses this in terms of such peripheral matters as the \ “produdtion and the development of new code” technology, the interested reader will still have to consult a book such as I.C. Jarvie’s Movies and Society for information as to how the mode of production affects the product. To make a slight understatement, it has one hell of an effect, although you’d never know it from reading Kardish. Reel Plastic Magic reminds me of nothing so much as those “children’s books” which purport to explain some complex subject by condensing and over-simplifying it, and in the process destroy that initial sense of wonder with which the curious child confronts the world. In its uniformly flat prose, fleeting and unenlightening references to such important concepts as auteur theory and cinema-verite, and abscence of any discernable logical organization, the book is an insult to its presumptive audience, and deserves nothing more than a swift exile to Cole’s bargain basement.

hello there Georgie Well, well it’s George Lichteim. His introductions to socialism and Marxism are steady fare in many a university political science course. From Marx to Hegel, eh? He’s discovered that Hegel is important to . Marxism, and not merely in a negative sense. Maybe the old boy is coming along. A collection of essays, huh? Well, not exactly. Half of these are book reviews. If you don’t think The Times Literary Supplement or The New York Review of Books’ reviews are worth reprinting, then you don’t know anything about academics’ publishing habits. One book out and after that even your shit is gold. These essays are from other places too. As liberal as Problems of Communism’s CIA funding will allow. There’s not much to be said about the content simply because there’s no content to comment upon. For an idea of where Georgie’s at it would probably be best to go back to The Origins of Socialism or Marxism. His social democratic bent is most evident there. It seems that Marx went from being a theorist of social revolutionary action by the working class to a theorist of peaceful parliamentary change. Not that he ceased to be a revolutionary-but in our brave and conflictless new world one can be a revolutionary merely by casting the correct vote. The nearest parallel in Canada is the NDP. It shouldn’t be necessary to point out the reactionary nature of parliamentary parties after the War Measures Act and the expulsion of the Waffle. The gravitation of social democracy to the right has its Canadian dimension too if one looks at the founding principles of the CCF, from which the NDP grew. Anyway, back to George. He’ll wander over the whole range of questionshistoricism to intellectual responsibility. Everything is relevant to him, precisely because nothing matters. Dialectics is treated as yet another neat idea and, if this is all you saw, it would be impossible to learn that dialectical thinking emerged as a totally new mode of thought that carried with it the promise of a new way of living and a new life. Still I guess somebody has to package the world’s illuminating theorists and present them so that our good little college kids can become educated and fit into neatly responsible jobs in the corporate swindle without once questioning the value of it all. If you want the job, it pays well. And you can become an “intellectual”. Still, one shouldn’t be too hard on George. After all, he’s just doing his job. There’s plenty of others doing the same. Take a look at your professor. Does he live through the concepts that he juggles? Or are they just “ideas”? Why pick out one from a line of clowns and insects that reaches from Waterloo to their more explicit counterparts in Ottawa or Washington and blame it all on him? Welcome George, you’re right at home here. I’ve seen you before in a million disguises. -ian

Their quarterback nipped into the endzone on a running play to score. 1 The other three were a different story. Never in the history of flag football have there been three scoreless games in a row. Renison and village Z-north battled to a O-O draw. So did village Z-west and st. pauls. Notre dame and village lwest followed suit and remained scoreless.

Aqua polo Water polo, that sport which changes the waters from light blue to dark red, got underway last week in the local natatorium. Coach Norm McKee in his second year with the team and a former Scottish international player himself, is looking forward to a good season and hopes to field a strong well balanced unit this year. He said however, that there were still a few holes open for anyone wishing to try out. Experience is not necessary but knowing how to swim would be an asset. Last year, in their fourth season in the OUAA league, the warriors placed a- very respectable third behind the strong mcmaster squad. The marauders have won the Hershorn trophy emblematic of the league championship since 1926 for the last two years. Many of last year’s regulars will be returning for another season of dunkings and gouging. Among the returnees are captain Doug Lorriman, Jim McFadgen, George Roy, Brian Bachert, Jack Sterkin and Jim McCallum. Even so, new blood is needed, especially in goal. All practices are held between 6:30 and 7:30pm weekdays for anyone interested. Tournament play begins on October 7th at western with Waterloo opening the season against mc-master and western. The following week the polo action shifts to Waterloo with, the league championship slated for york university on november 11th.

G/en Arbeau, strong Western in a dual

Boys and girls track and feeld Track and field at this university and others in the conference has finally broken through the sex barrier allowing male and female athletes to travel and compete together. Coach Robert Vickers of the university of western Ontario started the ‘togetherness’ concept at j.w. little stadium last wedwith the first innesday tercollegiate co-educational meet. The travelling arrangements seemed to have positively affected the few male warriors who made the trip. The group came away with a close 61 - 57 victory after assuming that their hosts had the meet in hand, by sheer numbers alone Sprinting events went all to western, as Terry Rotondo took the two short ones and Jim Best handled the 440 for the mustangs, while warrior speedster mike murray remained at home considering his conditioning not yet at a competitive level. George Neeland, as is his custom, easily took the sprint hurdles, but found his feet glued to the blocks in the 106 yard event and finished a distant fifth. Coach Arthur Taylor did not give much significance to the outcome of the meet stating,“It really didn’t matter if we won or lost, this was just a good meeting to give our boys a run.” Vickers, too, places little emphasis on this early “we used to whip you competition, guys in this meet and then think you were out of the running, but somehow Waterloo always comes around and takes the championship,” he stated before the we’ve competition, adding,“ learned never to count Waterloo out of the running regardless of what they do in the early meets.” Taylor got a bit of running in himself, turning in a respectable three mile time to finish second behind Andy Camani and slightly ahead of Dave Grant.

arm of the warrior meet Wednesday,

The warrior coach sees a lot of work ahead for the team, but was par titularly pleased with the performances of the freshmen. Kim Ransom turned in a 58.6 second clocking to’win the 440 yard hurdles and set a new meet record. He also took second to Dave Simons in the 660 yard run. Both runners were under the old stadium and meet record in that event. Bruce Radford, another freshman, added to the warrior depth sprinting to a 53.2 second second place finish in the 440 yard run and a second in the 220 yard sprint. Glen Arbeau, back after a short holiday, hurled the javelin 204’5%” to win the event with second place twenty feet back. Also on the field, Bill Lindley took the only warrior double of the day in both horizontal jumps. His 21’5?&” leap in the long jump earned him a new meet record, and a perennial triple jump win continues his OUAA domination of that event. Al Schweiger incurred a slight injury in the long jump and retired after the second attempt, jogging over to the high jump to proceed in a psychout effort. He watched the bar being raised and passed, electing not to jump. as it was elevated far beyond his supposed capabilities. At six-feet-seven, with only defending OUAA Champion Ray Anthony remaining, the other competitors anxiously awaited the warrior jumper to enter the competition. At six-nine, Schweiger decided it wasn’t worth the effort and retired to the dressing room ; leaving competitors, officials and spectators dumbfounded. Al Schweiger has never jumped over six-feet-two in his life. This light-hearted attitude permeated the non-significant event and at the end of competition when the final results were announced, it was received with amazement by the tracksters who thought a recount was probably in order, but didn’t request one. McMaster’s track will provide the next competition for the group who hope to be boosted by the presence of Bruntz Walker, in-

Monogrammed balls According to Jack Pearse the U of W’s golf coach, “once you are shooting around seventy, you can play with the best of them”. Whether the Waterloo team got to shoot in the 70’s by virtue of their “first class” attitude or whether that type of shooting culminated in such an attitude is not important. What is of importance is that we have, this year, the winningest golf team in Waterloo’s history. They’re the only Canadian team that has black and gold monogrammed golf bags. Even their balls are monogrammed. Their brochure might read, “Join the warrior golf team and travel to such places as Kentucky, Quebec, Michigan and Vancouver.. ..Play the top Canadian and american college athletes on some of the finest courses in north america.” Waterloo’s ingredients for

Dear soccer team, The rugger team wishes to apologize for the unfortunate incident which occurred on the bus following Thursday’s game at western. We feel that it is the result of an accumulation of our biases from the past four years. We sincerely hope that the animosity will end there. We also hope that in future the teams, both soccer and rugger can live to gether more socially. Dave Saunders, president Derek Humphries, captain university of Waterloo rugger

club.

Both the varsity rugger team, the warriors, and the unofficial second rugger team, the trojans, lost to western on Wednesday afternoon. Despite Dave Cunningham’s 2 penalty goals, the warriors lost to the Mustangs 37 to 6. The Trojans, in a shorter game, were defeated by western’s second team 6 to 0. The first game of the season on Thursday Sept. 21, held on columbia field, was won by the warriors 8 to 3. Bill Gow and Ken Brown both scored ties in this game. success have been first, the aquisition of a guy like Jack Pearse. He’s natural, sincere and loves golf. Into this melting pot throw Tim McCutchon, Dave Hollinger, Ed Heakes, Dave Bogdon, and Tom Porter and presto, there it is -“Success”. For those wondering how it all happened, let’s look at the Canadian scene. The stage is set for the trent university invitational, Waterloo shows up with six golfers, and there you go babe, there you go. They name five men to count, the sixth man being ineligible to score points. Adding up the best four of the five eligible scores the total is 301, meaning each man has averaged 75.25 shots. The low man was Dave Bogdon at 70, but unfortunately, he was the sixth man and was ineligible to score. Waterloo, none the less, won the meet. The warrior’s most recent win on the 23rd of September was at the national tournament at Georgetown’s North Halton golf club. O’keefe put up $7,000 to sponsor the event, and have promised to have $20,060 available by 1973. This time with a three man team comprised of Hollinger, McCutchon and Heakes, they won once more. Their score of 455 -for two rounds was 16 ahead of Toronto and 18 in front of Lakehead, who finished second and third respectively. Waterloo took every piece of hardware home as McCutchon won the individual honours with a score of 146. On the american scene, Waterloo has twice attended, by invitation , the michigan state tournament. This includes the top colleges in the states. In 1971 warriors finished eighth out of thirty schools and this year they were fourth out of thirtytwo. Perhaps most significant, michigan state’s two teams and U. of michigan’s team finished first, second and third respectively, playing, of course, with scholarshiped athletes and utilizing the advantages of the home course. As to the immediate future, the warriors are playing in the western final today and tomorrow at the Westmount “home of champions” course. Four teams will be selected to go against four teams from the east at the OUAA finals to be held at the Carlton golf club in Ottawa on the sixth of October. If you’re into golf, or if you’ve never seen golf but have a feeling you might like to, this promises to be a good opportunity to catch some great play. -glen

The next game is against Guelph at 1:06 p.m. Saturday on Columbia field. Wednesday afternoon was also a day of defeat for the soccer team. The warriors lost 5 to 3 with Waterloo goals scored by Francis Benoit, Con Cole and Harold Golden The Waterloo athena field hockey squad continued their winning ways of last year when they met Guklph on tuesday. The game was somewhat unusual with the allowance of coaching from the sidelines to demonstrate the exhibition nature of the meeting. This practice is normally prohibited, but both coaches agreed to forego the legality and use* the game to its utmost advantage as both a game and practice situation. The final score saw Waterloo blanking the gryphonettes three to nothing America,

a recent edition of Swimming World we learn that all youth are not riffraff. Walt Anderson said in interscholastic soundings that the american Olympic trials were a great success, and indeed they were. A number of world records were shattered and not only by Mark Spitz. Anderson goes on to say, “Whatever, the American spirit of wanting to excel1 has not diminished even though the youth of our country has been highly criticized in recent years. All a critic need do is to watch a United States Olympic Trials and he will go home with a renewed faith that the future of America will be in good hands when the current generation ascends into leadership. For those connected with the sport in one way or another, it is gratifying to know that the swimming world is helping to keep America strong.” Now don’t that just grab you?

The People or Planes committee (POP), organized to stop the government’s proposed hosted a fest ivai of airport at Pickering, “enlightenment and hope” September 16 and 17 for those affected by the development plans. The festival site, about 30 miles northeast of Toronto, was located in a river valley fitted out for the occasion with a stage, and crafts area featuring displays of freshly baked goods, books, sh.irts, candles and looms. The festival began with a whimper as groups appeared in a haphazard manner to play into a malfunctioning sound system. Two hours of work later, the sound system came to life. But by that time, it took the appearance of Mrs. Grundy to bring the crowd back to life. An old lady in a cotton print dress, assisted by two middle-

Environmental issues, Chant said, must become the main issue and create a revolution in the minds of all peopte before it is too late. Colin Vaughn, leader of a Toronto ratepayers organization opposing the Spadina Expressway which joined forces with POP four months ago, spoke of the effects of the proposed airport on the Toronto region. One possibility is the construction and-or extension of expressways to feed the new airport complex. Environmental groups across the province said Vaughn are attempting to fight the bungling advances of Toronto and Ottawa politicians on Ontario’s greenbelts and are questioning

Tom Beckett, former chairman of the Hamilton Conservation Authority, who also attended the festival, was fired as a result of his public protests against the $25 million airport which will bring air paths across residential areas at low altitudes. He expressed dismay that the major political parties have dropped “pollution” as an issue in the current election. Charles Godfrey, a medical doctor and head of People or Planes, closed off the speeches with a few hopeful words, “The airport is not coming!”
