\ the Moore gone -for good Wednesday at 5% pm, at a council meeting that never began, it fell to vice president Dave Robertson to read to the few present, the resignation of Federation of Students president, Terry Moore.

U of W students will recall that Moore resigned once in the summer but recanted and returned to office. This time he says he’s finished with the federation.

When first elected to the presidency last spring and again when he returned in the summer, Moore believed he could make the federation really mean something.

He wanted to see, “a student union that would really mean something to people, not just a student government.”

Moore says he found himself becoming a full-time bureaucrat in order to get things done that other people were not willing to handle.

Also, he claims the executive was becoming more and more fragmented and losing all the energy and commitment with which they started out their term; “With two, three or four people the federation just isn’t meaningful.”

The council, Moore charges, “wasn’t interested at all in anything but perhaps becoming stage crews for the concerts and saw itself as a ‘board of directors’ that sanctioned the decisions of the

executive every couple of weeks, rather than a working body.” This Moore found an impossible situation to cope with, given the people presently concerned.

Moore doesn’t put the blame on the student body saying that, “the students’ aloofness is most likely a result of the whole university structure.”

But he. also contends, “there does come a point at which the individual students have to assume responsibility if they expect the federation to continue to represent them.”

This is the letter read to the quorum-less council meeting.

To Members of Council: For reasons of personal sanity, I won’t be at today’s council meeting.

My resignation will be forthcoming, so I think council should begin thinking about how things are going to be run in the interim period before a new president can be elected.

My resignation will be effective Saturday, October 14, 1972.

Gooc foot at low prices A two hour meeting of the food co-operative held in the campus center Wednesday evening has resulted in major steps to revitalize the organization.

cha OF to the end Federation of Students president Perry Moore tendered his resignation this Wednesday, the latest in a long line of recent political farewells.

one of a very few active members, opened the meeting by suggesting that members of the co-op had better begin taking a greater part in the operation of the organization.

“It’s your co-op,” said Taylor. “What are you going to do with it?”

The food co-op has been operating helter-skelter from the basement of a house on Dekay street in Kitchener for nearly one year now. There have been no definite hours of operation and limited organization by the membership.

There has been little communication between members and even less co-operation in doing the work involved to supply fresh, organically grown food at reasonable prices.

The membership began the meeting by accepting an offer of space from the campus center board and agreeing on regular hours of operation...thursdays from noon to 4 : 30 and fridays from 2 to 6 pm. No date was agreed on for the move.

Then work began on the problem of involvement.

Examples were cited from Vancouver and Toronto photo by brian cere

food co-operatives on how to divide work loads and organize a smoothly running unit.

The definition of membership, the need for coordinators and a manager, and the development of a philosophy for the co-op were the three main areas of concern.

Those present voted unanimously to accept the proposal that a member of the food co-op was entitled to nearwholesale prices only if he or she gave their time weekly to help pack, order, sell and pick up food.

Non-members would be allowed to purchase food from the coop at a 40 per cent mark-up, a figure that will be compared with other “health food store” prices over the next two months.

Five members of the co-op volunteered to set down a tentative charter for approval by the membership at the next meeting.

Charged with the task are Doug Marshell, Brigette Wolf, Beth Connally, Kerry Wheland and Jan Christie.

During the next week, they will also organize a list of necessary activities and develop a system of committees which will handle the work of the cooperative.‘The entire membership will meet again Wednesday, october 18 at 7: 30 pm in the campus center to discuss the recommendations of the group.

Interested people are welcome.

With 10 of 19 Ontario member universities reported, Ontario students have voted overwhelmingly to withold their second fee installments should the provincial government maintain its $100 . fee hike.

The only university so far to vote against witholding fees is Peterborough’s Trent university.

Of students who have paid their first fee installment, 76 per cent are prepared to support witholding their tuition fees -in January if

The possible courses along which the University of Waterloo can act in the light of the response to the OFS referendum held this week will be discussed in a general meeting to be held Wednesday, 2 :3O pm in the campus centre great hall. The purpose of the referendum being to sound out support (or lack of same) for the demands put forward by the Ontario Federation of Students, the reaction of the students on this campus will form the focal point for discussion.

The announcement, last march, by the Ontario government, that there would be a raise in tuition for post-secondary students in 72-73, sparked a considerable amount of discussion and protest throughout campuses across the province. The government, however, did not reconsider its decision, but instead consolidated it with the almost simultaneous hiking of the loan ceilings in the Ontario Student Awards Program.

In light of this apparent disregard for the opinions of those studying within the university and other post-secondary educational communities, the Ontario Federation of Students proposed a fee strike for january of ‘73. The demands which the fee - strike would reinforce are : 0 “All tuition fee increases in postsecondary institutions for 72-73 be deferred until full consultation has been held with affected groups, and in particular, that no increase be approved until full public discussions have been held on the Wright Commission Report .” l “Regulations governing the Ontario Student Awards Program -continued

negotiations with the provincial government and the OFS are unsuccessful A decisive 90 per cent of students voting have supported OFS demands for a repeal of the fee hike and amendment of the Ontario student awards program to facilitate greater accessibility to it. By comparison, 83 per cent of university of Waterloo students voting said they would support OFS demands while over 80 per cent of those at U of T (35 per cent turned out) said they would.

On most campuses, between 35 and 50 per cent of the students have voted-an unusually high rate for campus elections. Only 15 per cent of students at U of W and at Carlton voted.

Regional government

The cosmic plan In november 1966, after growing pressure from local governments, the Ontario ministry of municipal affairs appointed a commission headed by Dr. Stewart Fyfe, of Queen’s university to prepare a “Waterloo Area Local Government Review” as the initial step in preparing for municipal reform in the Waterloo region.

The research and preparation of the ‘review’ took over three years and was finally issued in Waterloo in february of 1970.

Recognizing the disparity in and decisionrepresentation making powers between urban and rural areas, the initial recommendations of the Fyfe report rejected the idea of a two-tier regional government in favour of a two-city structure with a separate rural county . It called for an amalgamation of Kitchener, Waterloo and Bridgeport as one city, and an amalgamation of Galt, Preston and Hespeler as the other.

The rest of the county would be composed of five municipalities reducing the total of local municipalities from fifteen to seven.

Within this structure the report called for a M-member council elected directly from among. members of local councils.

This council would take over the jurisdiction and abolish boards and commissions such as planning, education, and separate school -boards, parks and recreation, public utilities, health, library and police. Nine local police forces and fire departments would be reduced to three.

The elected councils would have jurisdiction over the Grand River Conservation Authority and be responsible for licensing.

The report also called for development of explicit and coherent government policies on the role of local government as part of the total government structure of the province-so that lengthy delays in obtaining provincial approvals on matters which are purely local could be eliminated.

Fyfe anticipated some objections to his initial proposal because his recommendations would create only a modified citycounty government system which would not satisfy city councils. His report, therefore, included an alternate proposal for a two-tier regional government system.

The proposal called for a municipality enregional compassing an expanded Waterloo county which would include eight local municipalities : Waterloo, Kitchener, Galt (including Preston and Hespeler), township of North Dumfries, township of Wilmot, township of Wellesley, township of Woolich and the town of Elmira.

The responses to the Fyfe report from local municipal governments were generally disapproving for many diverse reasons.

Kitchener wanted all of Waterloo county to become one city with an overall one-tier regional government giving it virtual control over the resources of the entire county.

A number of the smaller centres wanted a two-tier proposal which would leave them some local autonomy.

Waterloo wanted to remain as a separate municipality from Kitchener to maintain their lower tax rates. Hespeler wanted to remain separate from Galt for the same reasons.

Kitchener and Galt felt that because the smaller centres were paying lower rates but using some of their services, the larger centres were being stuck with an unfair share of municipal service bills.

There was a great deal of squabbling over the possession of a few thousand acres of OHC lands east of Kitchener-which every local government saw as a. perfect place for industrial expansion (not housing >.

The Fyfe report generated response in the form of over 80 submissions to the provincial government between march and late fall of 1970.

In march 1971, this resulted in a proposal of legislation for municipal government reform from Dalton Bales, minister of municipal affairs.

Bales

report

The Bales proposal adopted a two-tier regional government with seven local structure municipalities which would cover all of Waterloo county plus a small piece of Beverley township in Wentworth county.

The seven local municipalities would be : the city of Waterloo ; the city of Kitchener ; the southern city (Gait, Preston and Hespeler) ; the township of Wilmot; the township of Wellesley ; the township of Woolich-Waterloo; and the township of North Dumfries.

The regional council would be made up of 24 members elected from the local councils and a chairman appointed by the provincial government.

One of the major functions of the new governmental system would be to make use of existing planning for the region and to adopt an official development plan for the whole region within two years of operation.

The Bales proposal outlined the relations and spheres of influence of the regional and local governments in the areas of subdivision agreements and zoning ; sewage treatment; water; garbage disposal ; building (inspection and permits > ; roads ; public transit; health; fire; welfare; conservation; parks and recreation and libraries.

The proposal also gave assurances that provincial grants would defer the extra costs involved in making the changeover to regional government.

The response to the Bales report was generally one of guarded acceptance. All of the communities involved seemed to go along with it or were powerless to do otherwise.

Finally, with the Bales report laying the groundwork, the provincial government proposed legislation setting up the structures and responsibilities of regional government in Waterloo county.

THE 7 NEW MUNICIPALITIES 1 WAYR

Legislation In june of 1972 legislation was passed which defined regional government in Waterloo county as follows : 0 The present 15 ’ Waterloo municipalities are reduced to seven with a a&member regional council. l An official plan for the area is to be completed within three years based on a draft of the WaterlooSouth Wellington study begun in 1969. o The chairman of the new council will be named by October 25 (Jack Young was subsequently appointed). l Kitchener voters will elect a mayor and 10 members to city council. Of these, the mayor and the eight aldermen receiving the most votes will sit on the regional council. In Waterloo, a maypr and eight aldermen will be elected. The mayor and two councillors elected by the local council will sit on regional council.

0 Resignation by a member from either council will constitute a resignation from both. l The first election will be held October 16. The cost will be born by the provincial government which will also pay the salary of the first chairman for two terms. l During 1973, the province also plans to channel an additional $1,380,000 into local municipalities.

This is designed to help offset the costs of increased service demands under regional government.

0 Existing county and suburban roads will be the basis for a new regional road system. e At the end of december, 1972, the Waterloo county health unit will be dissolved to be replaced by a regional health board. a A new regional police board will be formed by november 1 and will include two regional council members, a judge and two people appointed by the provincial council.

Every policeman in

Waterloo county employed april through december will become a member of the Waterloo regional police force. The police villages of Baden, Conestoga, Linwood, St. Clements and St. Jacobs will be dissolved ianuarv 1. garbage e Waterworks, disposal, and sewage treatment will come under the regional council january 1. l Existing boards will continue to operate Kitchener, Galt and Waterloo libraries with a regional system to be developed for the four new townships. l Local councils in Kitchener and Galt will continue to operate bus services.

If the regional government establishes a system, assets of the city systems will be

I

transferred without compensation.

0 Public utilities, and hydra electric commissions will continue to supply electric power. Kitchener will lose distribution and sale of natural gas and operation of public transit to a council committee.

Waterloo will lose gas operation and water commission.

The present policy on regional government from Queen’s Park grew from numerous requests by various municipal governments and councils. There was a concern over the duplication of efforts by overlapping but practically autonomous bureaucracies within the municipalities which hindered efficient “expansion” and “growth”.

There seems to be nothing to stop them now.

Bargaining rights for farmers? .

OTTAWA (CUP&-The Liberal government has finally raised the possibility of exteding collective bargaining rights to farmers.

Federal agriculture minister, H.A. Olson said in Wingham, Ontario two weeks ago that the Liberals “seriously look” at would legislation giving the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) full bargaining power for all farmers, if the union had the backing of 51 per cent of the farm community.

“With a slight amendment, that’s all we want,” said NFU president Roy Atkinson. “We think it would be appropriate for the government to set up enabling legislation first; then we would have a positive position with which to go out and sign up farmers.

The legislation would not become operative until the NFU has more than 51 per cent of the farmers signed into membership.”

Shortly after the minister’s statement, Atkinson wired NDP

leader - David Lewis and Progressive Conservative head Robert Stanfield asking for a statement on their party’s respective positions on the matter.

Lewis told CUP in an interview last month that the NDP favors collective bargaining rights for farmers.

The NFU’s year-and-a-half old boycott of Kraftco products is aimed at forcing the giant corporation to accept collective bargaining with farmers.

This would bypass the provincial milk marketing board which tends to facilitate the stranglehold of the Kraft monopoly over dairy products.

Farmers now have no say in setting policy for prices, quotas, processing or the quality of the final product.

“If we (collective get bargaining), it will be a dream come true for Canadian farmers,” said Atkinson.

MI son f Waffle Last thursday, Mel Watkins could be found in biology 271, delivering a largely unimpressive, loosely-knit and at times laborious and over-generalized lecture to approximately 150 students.

Not too long ago, Watkins could have attracted a university crowd at least four times that size. Maybe likely attendants were brushing up on David Lewis’ election-assailing of “corporate welfare bums”; then again, maybe the evening’s affair was simply poorly advertised.

Watkins, an organizer of the Movement for an Independent Socialist Canada GMISC) came to present and explain some of the finer points concerning the Americanization and industrialization of Canada. This was undertaken primarily by describing the development of hinterland Canada, with an attempt to use American history to explain Canadian economic history in the last 106 years.

Watkins cited that Canada, relying on it natural resources as a basis for economic development and pivotal for industrial growth, has “been cast in a hinterland role since as early as pre-World War I.” In its earlier stages, such growth was nurtured by government and business policies which promoted the development of our “branch plant economy”.

This was one of Watkins’ more clearly defined deliverances, one which functioned as a stepping-off point for the general consideration of foreign investment and ownership.

While using the description of a “truncated economy”, as delineated in the Gray Report on foreign investment, Watkins maintained that this (branch plant) economy has “created an underdeveloped economy with little research and development, fewer exports and little concern over foreign ownership.”

From this important assertion, Watkins stated that “this development of multi-national corporations of our produces a lowering capacity for economic innovation.”

In pulling together the strings of different themes drawn from earlier in the lecture, Watkins aptly applied “class structure and the totality of the Canadian experience” as an explanative groundwork.

This entailed giving lengthy exposure to what he described as “the four stage development of capitalism and imperialisn in Canada. ” These stages include : 1) the development of mercantilist or pre-industrial capitalism, in which Canada was a colony of the large imperialist powers such as France, Britain and the United States; 2) industrial capitalism (occuring in the finance metropolis) ; 3) capitalism, which saw the development of Canadian banks,

Referendum continued

Melville Watkins, recently points of his understanding

of Waffle fame, presents some of the development of socialism

capital, markets and the use of state capital in financing national projects and bonds; 4) and finally, corporate capitalism or new mercantalism, dependent on the spill over of capitalism from the industrial metropolis.

Watkins’ final analysis of the fixture and nature of multinational corporations in Canada tended to be over-generalized, revolving as it did around the theme of anti-American nationalism.

Although Watkins may have succeeded in drawing increased attention to the subject of foreign ownership in Canada, he was unnecessarily vague in focusing on the root-causes of present-day economic passivity. and indifference in Canada as well as the resultant cultural and economic implications.

Arctic area hazard prone

There is nothing new about the struggle of industrial development vs. the quality of life in the north of Canada’. Environmentalists have raged about it for years, while, in the meantime a plan for a whole new frontier of economic endeavor has been unfurled with hopeful delight in the various interindustrial journals.

Indeed the battle has proved to be a minor tool for the current federal election campaign though its importance has been overshadowed by the more tangible financial issues that exist here now.

OFL

And, of course, the main elements of the ecosystem are ones that can and are being exploited by entrepreneurs for the onward progress of their particular endeavor while low nutrient and productivity rates make such exploitation edgy.

Pimlot broke down the course of exploitation to three main areasexploration, production and transportation. In terms of exploration negligence, he cited an example where a major oil company commenced drilling operations in the summer as opposed to the colder months when the permafrost is more stable-not subject to melting when the insulating layer of vegetation is striped away in the drilling process. When exposed, some of the permafrost was melted away, leaving the surface of the ground, unsupported, to drop down. The long term effect of this has not as yet been determined.

Pimlot noted one observer’s comment that “for the sake of production, the arctic could be spared”. One proposed route for an oil pipeline in the north is plotted along the Mackenzie River. Since it would cross the river twice, any oil leak emanating from the line could run down the Mackenzie and into the Beaufort Sea. Pimlot went on to explain water diversion proposals and the fears of many ecologists, including himself, that the negative potential for such ventures have not been evaluated.

It should take about fifty years, at the present rate of progress, for the resources of the north to be depleted. The Diefenbaker vision of the north as the last glorious frontier for development resulted in great amounts of money being directed towards realization of such a dream. Coincidently, there were no efforts directed towards the ecological frame of reference.

While money was poured into developments like Panarc tic, there was no legislative base for the control of the product of such progress. Preservation, as always, was secondary to short term gain.

What legislation that has been initiated has been largely ineffectual.

The Northern Inland Waters Act and the Northern Inland Pollution Act sat for two and a half yearsbefore they were promulgated.

An act to replace the Yukon Ports and Mining act, which had provided for the, dominant nature of the mining industry in the Yukon, was lobbied into a bland ineffective pulp.

Pimlot called for the institution of a broader jurisdiction for the Dept. of the Environment enabling a greater ecological orientation to be grounded. As it stands at the moment, the department has no jurisdiction over the area north of the 60th parallel.

This responsibility is carried out by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, which, ironically, is responsible, also, for the economic development of the north.

On a note of optimism, Pimlot ended his talk saying that during the past two or three years industry has begun to develop a background for the improvement of the ecostructure.

But this seems to indicate the usual conveniently long process of events. No commitment. Nothing new.

At Waterloo, approximately 30 per cent of those voting responded that they would withold their fees in January if OFS negotiations with the government are unsuccessful.

At U of T about 50 per cent supported this. Just less than a third voting on this question at U of T had already paid their January installment; 36 per cent voting at U of W had already done so.

When the results are fully compiled,_ the OFS will present them to the government of Ontario.

OFS secretary Eric Miglin has said that no fee strike will be considered until student leaders bring the results back from their respective campuses.

Each campus will decide on its own whether or not to withold fees. The student council presidents will then meet to plan an overall provincial program.

These were the demands as presented to the students across Ontario in the OFS referendum, in an attempt to find out if the general dissatisfaction of last spring is still felt. The results of this referendum will largely decide the strategy to be drawn up on the individual campuses, as well as on a province-wide scale.

That strategy, as UW students would like to see it will be hammered out in large part by Wednesday’s meeting. Be there.

in exchange for imagined peer esteem and a sense of personal ,righteousness and martyrdom.

Last march Al Lukachko was The federation of students appointed as chairman of the however does not set the pay scale Board of Publications but he did

not return to school this fall and his post has since been vacant. Two weeks ago the executive board recommended the appointment of Dave Villenneuve (yet to be radified by council) over the other contender for the chairmanship, Terrance Harding.

It is Mohr’s belief that Harding was “passed over because his politics do not agree with the rest of the executive and Villenneuve has no politics”.

The vote was 5 - 4 for Villenneuve and Terry Moore (president, and Mohr’s main target of criticism) voted for Harding while Bernie attempted to abstain. He eventually voted for Harding as well.

Board chairman receives an honorarium of $300 for one year’s work. Mohr said that the chairman should “justify this honorarium with a certain amount of work” and added that some of the

seems an ideal situation.

There are all these rooms in the third floor of an office building in downtown Kitchener.

Four talented, young staff members are around for conversation and encouragment and you can try your hand and mind at almost anything.

This-plus a lot more-adds up to YAP (Young Adult Program), which has operated in Kitchener since last january.

YAP staff members describe it as an “educational alternative”; an alternative to high school, jobs and other structured learning situations.

The labyrinth of rooms at 125 King St. W. has attracted over 30 people who are mostly high school drop outs and who have rejected society’s usual methods of education.

The four staff members-Brian and Paul Ruben, Doug Biggs and Robin Wight, have created a comfortable atmosphere

which is conducive to just sitting and talking or even sleeping.

Branching off from the main meeting and sitting room, are large and small spaces for practicing yoga, doing art work, pottery, leather work or studying guitar.

Most of the classes offered now are along the arts and crafts line which is a concern to Brian Ruben since “we don’t just want to be known as a craftsy place.”

Plans now are to start informal seminars, in a sort of social psychology, touching on politics, philosophy and sociology.

Others, Ruben said, are interested in setting up classes in East Indian cooking, a workshop in hypnosis and the occult, as well as using YAP’s video-tape equipment to do programs about themselves and the K-W communitv.

Like a “free” school, classes and workshops are organized because people are interested and not because the paid staff members think it is needed or because they like the idea.

“If people are interested in doing something, we find a resource person and set up that workshop for those people.

That means giving them the space and materials.

How they set it up is their thing,” Ruben explained.

A bigger problem exists if the people who come to YAP offices do not know what they want to do. The staff carefully tries not to push them into their own interests.

Often new people try a lot of the classes that are already offered before deciding what interests them.

chairmen, while they argue they cannot work a great deal for the federation because of a heavy work load in class, still collect their $300 for doing virtually nothing. For his six months of work Mohr received a $100 honorarium, and a salary of $80 per week during the summer for his work with Cooperative Student Enterprises.

“I am not willing to stay there for the extra $200 because I don’t believe in what they are doing”, said Mohr.

Commented another executive member, “ain’t got no comment on Bernie ! ” -Susan

“We try to make them realize they can do what they want and no one will pass judgement.

There’s a slow-down, easy atmosphere here that allows people to try a lot of things to decide if they like it.

That’s what you can’t do in high school.”

YAP tries to work on a co-operative basis with everyone having the same voice in decision-making.

They try to get away from the staff and member division which naturally exists because as Ruben said, “you can’t get away from the hard fact of life that four of us get paid and the rest don’t.”

But at the weekly meeting problems are discussed and decisions reached by those who care to attend. No one is excluded.

The idea of mutual accountability sounds good, but Ruben and the others realize that it is hard to put into practice since the “natural” tendency is for a group to look for a leader.

Ruben sees a slight change underway when members no longer come to staff with every problem but branch out to the rest of the group.

YAP is now funded by a diminishing grant from the department of health and welfare, non-medical use of drugs directorate.

Each year the grant decreases by a third so that by the end of the third year, the project is supposed to be self-supporting or receiving funds from local or provincial governments.

The problem under discussion by the group now is how to become more selfsupporting.

One possibility is through the sale of crafts made at the workshops.

Before last january YAP, or at least a project very much like it, was part of Conestoga College’s continuing education program. When the funds for it were cut Paul Ruben, who had worked with it at Conestoga, decided to keep it going and applied for the funds from the federal government.

The basis for its funds coming from health and welfare, is in a study con‘ducted at the end of the Conestoga program. The study indicated participants experienced a decrease in problems with drugs, an increase in communications with their families and less trouble with the law. No one had tried to make these things happen, but they had as a result of the informal classes.

YAP ends up as a school that’s not a school. It’s a chance for people to try things like yoga or creative writing, maybe a chance to escape from the pressures of high school or a no-where job and the boredom of the street.

It’s more than a drop-in centre because It calls for involvement, but less than a school. It’s as free as the people who come there daily want it to be.

Stable state economics The problems of. economic growth have been the subject of discussion for the past 200 years approximately.

More recently the effects and costs of growth were the subject of a forum on “Stable State Economics”.

A dialogical exchange on the subject took place Wednesday night in math & computer 2065 as part of Enviromental Awareness Week.

“We have to see that the economy is like an ecological community”, said Dave Fisher, who played the lead in the two-part drama with Bob Kerton.

The economy is all interconnected and we require knowledge that introduction of a change will produce a predictable and desired effect. In Fischer’s words, the effect of change is production of a “subset of gainers and a subset of losers”.

‘Goods’ have gained for us in the last fifty years the time to learn about and reflect upon the ‘bads’.

Regrettably, growth has resulted in resource depletion and pollution.

Kerton queried, “Can the quantity of ‘bads’ be assessed accurately?“.

He added, “The incentive structure is set up so that those who produce ‘bads’ have an interest in keeping it quiet.

For Fischer, the “growth problem” is a problem of images

of growth, a state of mind. “What is the growth level we‘ want?”

What we must assess are the marginal benefits .of further growth, “goods and bads come. together”.

Enviromental damage should be assessed as costs and weighed against resources expended.

“The problem is not a growth economy. The question is what we are willing to pay to protect our environment. ” By extension, every private decision must be, weighed in terms of what it will cost society. population growth and whether there is a definable optimum population level to balance with our resource base and enviromental capacity.

Fischer then outlined what he considered to be parameters of a stable state economy.

Firstly, a level and its population geographical distribution should be established.

Secondly, a minimum standard of living should be set according to an equal distribution of the available stock of wealth. Further changes in the stock of wealth would come only through changes in technology and the idea of personal advancement based on acquisition of goods would have to be replaced.

“The hardest question is: can man adapt to interdependence in both space and time?”

He answered his own question, “only if we internalize the social effects of what we do.” Fisher closed with the challenge “What do you prefer and what sacrifices are you willing to make?”

And a quote from J.S. Mill.

Make sense?

Burns screws workers On january 1 of this year Burn’s Foods bought out Kitchener Packers, a company that had been owned by the Zehr food chain. Of the 93 workers who were affected by this arrangement, only 12 were able to secure employment at Burn’s. This latter group of which some workers have no seniority, seems to have been hand-picked by a Kitchener Packers’ supervisor who maintained his position within the Burn’s company.

It is disconcerting to learn that some employees who had 25 years of service were not presented with the opportunity to work at Burn’s.

Lloyd Charbonneau, acting president of the Kitchener Packers’ local of the Canadian Food and Allied Workers, stated that all but 17 people have not been able to find other work. For these workers, the situation remains bleak as they have been without work for 11 weeks. They are not entitled to receive severance pay until their “temporary” lay-off period has extended more than 13 weeks. Charbonneau believes the distinct possibility exists that Burn’s will re-call those 17 workers for a period of time in order to avoid paying termination benefits, then lay them off once again.

The Burn’s management does not present the only obstacles. The Canadian head office of the union and the international representative in this area, Frank Benn, have done nothing to alleviate the problems confronting the laid-off workers.

Senate candidates This week Radio Waterloo attempted to interview the candidates for student senator positions.

The station was only able to contact a few of them. Most did not bother to leave adequate information with the university secretariat so that they could be easily contacted.

Of the candidates that the station was able to contact, only two showed up for the tuesday night interview.

They were Ed Zuyko from mathematics and John Chisamore, engineering.

On Wednesday night four people from integrated studies-environmental studies made it. They were John O’Grady, Ian Robertson, John Ross and Doug Thompson.

Both nights the- candidates exposed any number of issues they felt concerned the university, and

on stab/e state economics.

their roles as student senators. Of primary importance was the necessity of getting students to become involved in the decision making bodies of the university.

But, remarked one student, “How does one motivate students-who are for the most part, apatheticto become involved.”

One thing everyone agreed on was that the amount of effort it would take to be effective on senate was immense.

All agreed that what is necessary is the cooperation of many individuals.

And yet during the interview, candidates appeared to be competing with one another rather than cooperating in the process of exchanging and developing ideas.

Perhaps some view senate posts as the beginning of some kind of personal career. If this be the case, can students be sure that their interests will be adequately represented.

Do students care? _

UW and WLU have taken a further step in their agreement to exchange students by joining forces to offer a new study program in business and mathematics.

Last month, 85 UW students began the program which requires students for the first time to take classes at both campuses as part of normal degree requirements.

This is a step beyond an agreement now entering its third year that gave students carte blanche to choose courses in economics from the arts faculty at UW and accounting, marketing and other business subjects from WLU. The course is offered under the co-operative education pattern that sends students for alternate three-month job training terms. In the same way, 650 UW students, including those in the combined program, are taking some business instruction at WLU, which has the only business school in the area.

A small number of students in other fields are also taking courses at the other campus. Reports from last year showed that WLU had a slight surplus of students in the two-way exchange.

Each school accepts the marks issued by the other as though they came from one of its own courses.

Students remain enrolled and receive degrees from their home university .

What sec,urity What is security?

To administration president Burt Matthews, it is having two members of the university security force present at all campus pubs.

By law, in order to obtain a “special occasions” permit from the LLBO (Liquor Licensing Board of Ontario) there must be security people present.

Federation president Terry Moore met with Mr. Romenco, head of security, to see if an alternate form of security can. be found. Moore was referred to Matthews who said it would require a change in policy.

At present, two security men are assigned to each pub at a cost of $6.50 an hour each. Since the Board of Student Activities alone holds three pubs a week lasting six hours each, the total cost for security is over $200. During the first week of October there was a total of 12 pubs at the campus centre. All of them had to pay for security personnel from Romenco.

According to BSA chairman Doug Griesbach, there was only one member of security at some pubs. Were two personnel paid? He doesn’t know.

Some security people at the pubs have expressed dissatisfaction over having to work from 7 to 12 pm during weeknights.

What the federation would like is to have student bouncers at $2.00 per hour as security at pubs. This would save the federation $4.50 an hour per bouncer.

Now it is up to Romenco and Matthews to change this policy.

The question is whether Matthews will allow a shift in funds from campus personnel to the students and whether he will consider them capable of handling the job. It is clear that the federation and students would profit from a change in policy. Pubs could run at the same prices if not cheaper, and at least some students could make money to make up for the amount the government has taken away from them. Well, stay tuned in and find out if it is possible to save money at a university.

Marxist wew of fee cuts Don Tapscott, Young Socialist organizer and editor of the movement’s student newspaper, spoke to a gathering of eleven students in the U of W campus centre this Wednesday.

The meeting was advertised as a presentation of the marxist view of cutbacks in education, and in particular the OFS fee referendum.

Tapscott began his speech by referring to a ‘master plan’, the Peitchinis report, completed by the federal government.

One of the

federal proposals of this new report on financing education is an 800 per cent increase in the student’s share of the cost of postsecondary education. “The present fee hike is part of a grand plan to make university students into profit-units.”

Tapscott proceeded to relate what he stated was “the marxist view of why this is taking place.”

In a somewhat condescending manner and a style reminiscent of grade two readers, he described the relationship between the ruling class and the working class: “Students are included in the working class as intellectual labourers.

Because of deficit spending on the part of the class-, an capitalist ruling economic crisis has arisen. This is manifest in rising unemployment, inflation, and imperialist wars. To resolve this crisis the ruling class is making a complete overhaul of the educational system.”

Tapscott saw three factors which influenced this decision : l After 1945. and into the early fifties there was a tremendous need for skilled labour and intellectual labour which promoted in educational an increase facilities. At the present, however, there is a manpower surplus necessitating a cut in the growth of education. l The ruling class can no longer afford its share in training intellectual labour and so the burden is shifted onto the shoulders of the students. l It is a carefully calculated attempt to block the student revolt.

When questioned on what he meant by ‘intellectual labourers’, Tapscott skirted the question, replying that “because students do not own or control the means of production they are part of the working class.” He said that since “students are free from the everyday responsibilities that working people have, they can utilize this freedom to become a revolutionary vanguard leading and educating the working masses. ” In their present capacity as students, they should fight for an educational system based on human needs. This fight, stated Tapscott, can best be organized by joining the Young Socialists.

Tapscott critized the fee referendum as it is run by the OFS, explaining that any such do or die approach can only end in Frustration.

“Nothing less than a change in relationships between students and society as a whole is needed.” When he was asked how this would come about, Tapscott proposed mass action by students in the form of demonstrations, sitins, and university takeovers.

He did not give any indications of how this mass action is rallied.

With four persons remaining Tapscott was asked how he could be naive enough to actuallly believe that students would form a revolutionary vanguard in light of the abundant apathy on university campuses.

Tapscott smiled, and stated that the student movement itself is a “pile of shit”. Continuing further he said, “the Young Socialists have other programs, combatting U.S. imperialism, establishing a revolutionary vanguard.”

hour boycott of classes to allow students to participate.

One reason for the poor turnout was a “notice to students” from law dean J.W. Durnford, who calls the shots for McGill’s contributions to the legal establishment.

“Should a boycott take place,” the statement read, “my colleagues have been instructed to proceed with their classes at the normal times and places regardless of attendance on the part of students; and all of the latter shall be responsible for the subject matter covered whether they are present or not.”

Lava1 students were also conspicuously absent from the demonstration.

The reason there was clear. Lava1 students recently broke with the “front” and its “short-term” solutions, maintaining it is too accomodating to

strike on

:

MONTREAL (CUP&-More than 1,000 students from Quebec’s law and bar schools marched on the Palais de Justice last tuesday afternoon (October 3)) continuing their protest against the structure of the Quebec Bar Association and its qualifying exams. Police cooperated by clearing thd way for the would-be lawyers.

Representatives of the students’ common front (three reps from each law school and each bar school) proceeded to the bar association offices in Place d’Armes.

They walked into a session of the Moisan Committee, an association body conducting its own look at the exam structure.

Negotiations between the students and the committee continued until early Wednesday morning. . General meetings of law students have declared “that the Quebec Bar exerts exorbitant, abusive and unacceptable power and privileges in matters concerning regulations on entry into the legal profession; and any action of the Front will ultimately be aimed at remedying this situation.”

“We also propose that in the short term, we must abolish the bar exams. In the medium run, all means must be taken to this effect..

In the long run, this implies a step toward the total abolition of the exclusive control of the Bar over the judicial world.”

The Moisan committee has offered to extend exams from two days to four; to improve physical conditions of exam rooms; to raise pass marks from 60 to 65 per cent; to allow supplemental exams; to mark the weighting of each question on the exam; to make public the names of markers; and to provide some choice in questions.

However, the student demands for the upcoming november to april session of classes at the bar school. involve a more sweeping restructuring.

They include : l six months of courses. l all exams on the subject matter of the courses to be given after each set of courses and count for 50 per cent. (Exams are presently given after six months of study, on all aspects of law, and are worth 100 per cent. > a only six months of articling (as opposed to the present year). l it must be understood that this is a short term solution and the Moisan Committee will sit until April 7, 1973 to study alternatives and arrive at a definite solution.

Only about 35 of the student demonstrators came from McGill University, although a general meeting of law students monday (October 2) had endorsed a three-

the bar association.

The Lava1 boycott of dlasses is now more than a week old, and the students have no intention.of terminating it until the total abolition of bar exams has been won.

Pile of glory Yes friends, you too can convert your daily wastes into rich, dark

Kitchen compost. scraps, newspapers, leaves and clippings can all be turned into excellent garden medium.

The easiest and most convenient method of composting is the tea box. All you need is a tin or gallon can, old tea bags and water.

Empty the bags into the can daily and add water to keep the mixture moist. Stir your tea leaves at least once a week and in the time that it takes to fill the can (about a month) you will have your compost, ready to be added to your house plants as a treat.

It is also a good idea to have a compost pile outside for your vegtable and plant wastes.

“Organic Gardening” (february 1972) has a method of building a pole that is odourless, flieless, and requires no turning. The method is quite simple. Clear the site of all

7

weeds (roots and all), lay your scraps and leaves on the ground to a depth of about a foot and sprinkle if dry, spread on a layer of manure, add lime if your soil is acid, cover completely with topsoil and a sheet of five gauge black polyethylene and anchor the plastic. If this type of heap is started in the fall it will be ready for the garden in the spring.

There are numerous methods of composting.

By consulting books and periodicals by the Rodale Press, “the Canadain Whole Earth Almanac”, The Last Whole Earth Catalogue”, or other publications concerned with farming or outdoor living you should find the method to suit yourself. What better way is there to recycle biodegradable “junk"?

So don’t delay, start to compost today.

DUNKER MEWS DOWNTOWN KITCHENER 7

VICTORIA (CUP)-The New Democratic Party provincial government will restructure the University of British Columbia board of governors to curtail its domination by that province’s business elite.

Eileen Dailly, B.C.‘s new education minister told UBC’s student newspaper, the Ubyssey two weeks ago that “the present board does not represent a broad enough sector of society. It is my intention to introduce legislation in the spring session which will completely overhaul the board”.

The board is currently heavily weighted toward the business community and includes corporate lawyers, judges, a financier and representatives from the forest industry.

Under the present act, faculty are ineligible to act as members of the board, and students may be seated only as representatives of the senate. Last week, two student senators were nominated to the board for the first time, but are unlikely to be elected because students hold only-12 of 98 senate seats.

The Universities Act will be changed to allow faculty, students, labour and people from the community-at-large to sit on the board, Dailly said.

“Before proposing the legislation, I plan to discuss, I it with students, faculty .and other interested groups.”

I3 October,

Dailly called the recent appointment of three board members by an already-defeated Social Credit government “a very ungracious thing to do”.The new Sacred appointees were Thomas Dohn, president of the Vancouver stock exchange; Paul Plant, vice-president of R.S. Plant ltd; and Beverley Lecky, a charity fund-raiser.

Dailly also intends to set up standing commissions to examine financing, junior colleges, philosophies of education and assistance to students.

The new minister feels the government has a responsibility “to look into” financial assistance for students. Unlike the Ontario government which has just raised fees and lowered grants to students, Dailly says that, because nobody should be denied a university education as a result of financial need, government assistance should be readily available.

However, actions speak louder than words, and political party officials are notoriously quick to speak and slow to act.

“Research has been haphazard and policy hit and miss,” she said. We need some hard research to tell students where they are needed.”

Dailly also noted that a brief presented last spring by the UBC women’s action group, dealing with the lack of women in key university positions, was an excellent documentation of the situation.

She believes women students will be one of the groups helped by a provincial government financial program. Women’s studies, she said, is a valid area of study and should be accredited.

The current program has been refused accreditation and is offered to students extracurricularly.

“The peace movement seems to have declined but not within me.

For me the task is as great as it once was; perhaps greater, because the war-making governments have learned new ways of making vituous their evil deeds. If the student generation of today has lost a cause, it is not because the cause has disappeared.

It is because they have allowed the cause to be fogged up by propaganda. All men are religious and their religions are what move them.

/

On October 5, Conrad Grebel history professor Dr. Frank Epp spoke in the UW humanities building on the subject of “his experiences in the peace movement.” He gave an assessment of the current condition of that movement, and an auto-biographical account of his own related activities, and philosophy, writings. Epp evaluated the peace movement as “having come and gone quickly. ” He explained that its transience was the result of “a lack of philosophic and religious depth,” clever Nixon administration propaganda, and a general increase in militaristic oppression.

What the peace movement did, he continued, was to “topple one president” and “in general to have an effect for the good” on the United States.

Summarizing his perspective on and his position in the movement, Epp, a Mennonite and pacifist, declared :

WESTMOUNT MAKES

One of those protest was in 1965 waged against bacteriological warfare research and defense aresenal stockpiling at Suffield, Alberta.

The -research and travel included South Vietnam in 1966, from which he learned that the Saigon regime was supported by a minority of the populace.

Although his objections gave rise to red-baiting, Epp, whose immediate family fled Russia, maintains that he has “never been a Communist or close to it.”

After leaving the editorship of “The Canadian Mennonite” in 1967 to assume a position with the peace research section of the Mennonite central committee, he noted that his area of central concern and study began to shift from the plight of draftdodgers and the tragic war of south-east Asia to the area of the middle east. Very pro-Israil until 1968, he related that he became increasingly aware of “the great injustice done to the Palestinian Arabs.” Working out of Ottawa, he then went to the Middle East to research and write on the problem.

Upon returning he took the post of executive director of the “World Federalist” before assuming his teaching position at Conrad Grebel college a year later.

feedbac k Last week we saw around campus some posters depicting a supposedly Lebanese taxi smashed into a “pancake” by an invading Israeli tank. The caption claimed that seven Arab civilians were killed within the wreckage of the ill-fated car, some of whose bodies could be recognized with difficulty in the picture.

The poster was sponsored by the “K-W committee for Justice in the Middle East”.

The atrocities alleged in the poster were inconceivable to some members of the university community.

Israeli apologists ripped down most of the posters and contested the authenticity of their contents and the existence of the “Justice Committee”.

As an Arab student interested in such issues, I looked into the matter and would like to offer some comments.

The recent Munich atrocities are common knowledge: the incident claimed the lives of eleven Israeli hostages, five of their Palestinian commando captors and a German policeman.

The German authorities defied the threat of the Palestinian guerillas and took a “calculated risk”. The death of 17 people resulted. The justification of this action was that the Israelis would face “certain death” should Bacardl

they be taken as hostages into any Arab country by their captors. The validity of such an assumption is, however, disputable.

Since 1969, several Israeli and western planes were commandeered into Arab countries : one into Algeria, one into Syria, one into Egypt and three into Jordan. Eventually all Israeli and other passengers were released unharmed by the Palestinian commandos of the respective Arab countries.

Nevertheless, the North American mass media ignored these facts and implicitly endorsed the claims of the German authori ties. Moreover when Israel killed 254 Arabs in Syria and Lebanon, and wounded hundreds of others in an ensueing Israeli over-reprisal directed mainly against civilian targets, these massacres were not given even the same coverage the Munich incident received.

Pictures such as that depicted in the abovementioned poster did not appear in any North American newspaper ; but quite a few showed the coffins, funerals, and wailing families of the Israeli victims. Moreover, very few Canadian papers described the victinization of Arabs by the Israeli aggressors.

account in its September 22 issue, of what happened to the Lebanese taxi : “It was the Awala family-the father, mother, uncle, and three children of whom two had just been wounded during a bombing, and the driver of the taxi. They were stopped at an Israeli checkpoint: the soldiers asked for their ID. The two wounded were not carrying theirs, and the driver was not permitted to carry on. .The parents protested, not without some vehemence, and tried to explain that their children needed urgent hospitalization and that it would be barbarous not to allow them to be taken to the closest hospital.

Drugs -w

Can’t always get what - you want

1

In 1970, two scientists concerned about illicit drugs incorporated Pharm Chem Laboratories in Palo Alto, California.

Pharm Chem specializes in analyzing street drugs.

Analysis Anonymous is a confidential testing service run by Pharm Chem. A person interested in having a drug analyzed can mail or bring a sample to AA. The interested party attaches a five digit number to the sample and calls, back to get the results. There is a $10 fee. .

For some six months, AA had trouble with the American Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) which demanded the names of the senders. BNND officials felt dealers would use AA for quality control of drugs. Pharm Chem admits this possibility, but says the effect would be beneficial in pushing bad drugs off the market by informing the public what they can actually expect to receive in buying street drugs. The situation has been resolved, and names are no longer required by the BNND. Of the results of 175 published samples to date, things don’t look well. In the first sample, results of 30 drugs submitted showed the alleged content matched with the true content in only 30 per cent of the samples. The second lot of 40 drugs showed the alleged and true content matching in 50 per cent.

The third sampling of 50 drugs and the fourth of 55 both showed alleged and actual content coin-’ tiding in 38 per cent of the specimens.

Of the entire 175 samples, alleged and true content matched up in only 39 per cent.

What you want is not necessarily what you get.

In the interests of clarifying the statistical breakdown which follows, here is a very brief idea of what the various drugs mentioned are about : LSD (D-lysergic acid diethylamide): may be derived from rye ergot fungus, usually synthetic. No physical dependence.

An hallucinogen which needs little explanation.

Mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylethylamine) : the principal alkaloid of the peyote cactus, first synthesized in 1919.

An physical hallucinogen.

No dependence.

PCP (Phencyclidine) : a veterinary anaesthetic, generally considered an hallucinogen.

Relativelynon-toxic.

Tends to pro-

duce psychological disturbancks resembling primary symptoms of schizophrenia.

Often a bad trip.

STP (4-methyl-2,5-dimethoxy an dimethoxyamphetamine) : amphetamine-based synthetic hallucinogen.

Less potent than acid.

MDA (methylendioxyamphetamine) : speed based hallucinogen.

Seldom pure on the streets.

No physical dependency.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) : synthetic mari juana. Expensive to produce.

Usually something like PCP on the street.

An hallucinogen.

Psilocybin: Mexican mushrooms. Similar to mescaline, but depenmore potent. No physical dence. Also rare in pure form.

Cocaine (benzoylmethylecgonine) : can be extracted from the leaves of certain South American plants or synthesized.

Central nervous system stimulant. adTends to be psychologically dictive. “There is a narrow margin of safety between the dose that will get you off and the dose that will kill you.”

Marijuana Dope. Period.

(cannabis

sativis)

:

The following is a break down of the major drugs analyzed at Pharm Chem’s AA. l LSD (25 samples.

All were LSD. Of the 25, four were abnormally impure and one contained PCP. LSD was pure in 80 per cent of the samples. l Mescaline (45 samples).

Twenty-five were actually LSD (one of which was abnormally impure and another impure). Nine of the samples were actually a combination of LSD and PCP. Six were mescaline, but of these one was abnormally impure and another only 40 per cent mescaline.

Three samples were PCP, one was STP, and one alleged to be mescaline laced with speed, was LSD. 0 Psilocybin (20 samples).

Eighteen were LSD, one was STP, one sample had negative results.

0 THC (9 samples).

Eight were PCP (one of which was contaminated) and one was THC. l Marijuana (7 samples).

All were marijuana, although one contained an unidentified substance and another was sprinkled with PCP, for a 60 per cent purity figure on the sampling. l Cocaine (7 samples).

Three were cocaine, 3 couldn’t be identified, and one was PCP. 0 MDA (5 samples 1. Four were MDA (two of them impure), one was LSD. This sample includes drugs from the entire USA, and should therefore hold true for Canada.

Few Kitchener-Waterloo drugs have been analyzed ‘by the Addiction Research Foundation but of those which were, LSD was pure LSD and THC was PCP. Keeping in mind that the above analysis represents a relatively small sample, some conclusions can be drawn. l LSD is the drug with the highest rate of purity and is almost always LSD, with the possibilities of some impurities. l Don’t buy psilocybin unless you want LSD or some other drug, at higher prices than it would go for under its own name.

0 THC is second only to psilocybin in having contents other than what it is claimed to be.

0 MDA is a fairly safe bet for getting the right drug, but there is a high rate of impurity. l Marijuana is usually just thatunless it’s catnip, alfalfa or some other goody you were dumb enough to test improperly.

Trudeau: real pditik with a dash of ‘ein -prosit’ I have to start in the parking lot of CKKW-TV. It’s dark, the ground is wet from a heavy rain, maybe more coming. It’s just past 8 p.m. on a friday night, and I’m sitting at the back of a chartered city bus brushing up on methods notes from my Hunter S. Thompson Correspondence School of Journalism.

I think disconsolately of the many things I could better be spending a Friday night doing, when suddenly salvation appears; a motorcycle cop. A motorcycle cop, with flashing light turned on, is going to escort this fucking press bus across Kitchener to the Concordia Club! This &justification of the night alone, I have never before (and probably never will again) had a motorcycle escort.

Absurdly, I feel important. The rest of the night ,can’t help but go downhill after this.

I spend the entire trip wondering why the hell we are being escorted by a cop: do they know something we don’t? a bomb threat? the International Communist Conspiracy afoot on such a night? Improbable, but so was the escort.

The bus charges its way through a crowd of people in front of the club, finds its way through the slalom course of cars in the parking lot, and stops in the middle of a large mud swamp 50 feet from the back door. An OPP officer steps up to the door and says “Sorry, folks, but this is the

best we could get,” apologizing for the mud.

Inside, the contagious madness is already on high burner: the large hall is packed, people crawling over each other to find seats, to get in line for beer, to get in line for food, to find friends, to get closer to the bandstand, yelling, shouting, singing, dancing. Being my first glimpse of Oktoberfest, I have never seen anything quite like this boiling anarchy, and that includes Shriners’ conventions, rock festivals and political conventions.

I sense immediately that there is no Authority here, no one that could hold his hand up to calm this now that it has started.

The media men-about twenty of ushead toward an area to the left of the bandstand which is supposedly for press, but I don’t like it and make my way up onto the back of the bandstand itself. . . behind the trombone player. . . and survey the wreckage.

I glance back over to the press area, where four elderly women delicately dressed up for the occasion are trying to skirt the edge of the bandstand to get back to their tables. They run smack into a dam of television lackeys trying to get their equipment squared away. One of the TV men turns around and growls “Could you go around the other way, ladies, we’re setting up a lot of equipment here.” It is

not a question. They look at one another, nearly hidden beneath drab, long winter . coats with expensive jewelry peeking out strategically, murmur and retreat.

Meanwhile the band leader, sweating from drink and the hot lights flooding the bandstand, is shouting into the mike trying to create order from chaos, and even he realizes he can’t.

“Get off those chairs!”

“Sit down!”

“Move off the dance floor, you must clear it out!” “Please, do it nice!” “This area must be cleared, the Prime Minister is coming!”

He is barely heard above the crowd, and those that do, ignore him.

The TV lights come on, bathing the bandstand in a hot glare; people take this wrongly as a signal that the PM is here and stand up on anything available, trying to see through the smoke-hazed air; everyone behind them joins in a terrifying chorus of “Sit down!” but few move. It’s almost sinister, the dark energy here, a great place for a riot.

Then the bandleader is at the mike again, shouting for “a waitress” to come up. None comes for about ten minutes, but he coninues to yell for one. Finally a dirndl-clad lovely peeks out from the crown.

“What do you want a waitress for?”

“Come up here.” (A command).

“No what do you want?”

(Wary) “Get up here!”

(Menancing.)

“I can’t afford to.” (Ah ha!)

“What’s your name ?” (Angry, meaning: do you want to get fired?)

Finally, fearful of her job and intimidated by the band leader, she walks onstage, and is directed to a front table where some Concordia Club and Liberal biggies have been seated, without being waited on. I hope they tipped big.

Then a roar travels across the room like a spark of electricity: Trudeau is here! and Stanfield : (Note to Lewis Trudeaumania is not dead yet.) Someone mumbles a speech into the mike as he works his way slowly through the crowd to the podium, but no one hears it.

At the mike, Trudeau aims stock Cheesey Smile No. 3-B into the blinding lights and nods as various functionaries of the officialdom mumble statements into the P.A. system.

God, I think, the pain Involved in being a politician.

Just -try holding a wide smile for about five minutes some time; it hurts.

Maybe politicians have special jaw exercises.

accompanied the PM from Hamilton for the hour-long visit: this campaign carnival must be equally hard on runner and observer alike.

When it is finally time for the PM to talk back to all the official welcomes, he intones-still smiling-“This is no time for speeches, this is a time for festivity.”

Then characteristically, into the approving shout of the crowd, he launches a pithy little speech comparing the rebuilding of the burnt-down Concordia Club building and the greatness of the Canadian nation.

“The principles on which this country,

The campaign revolves around the “issues”, the “platforms”, and “voter interests”.

Yet as the party to beat, what is the Trudeau government doing in this election? How are they campaigning?

It has been clear for many months that changes in Trudeau, in the media, and in the voters have made it impossible to recreate the “Trudeaumania” that the press was largely responsible for in 1968. Getting Trudeau in front of as many people as possible simply will not suffice this time around.

The new and improved Liberal product for this year is a “shirt-and-tie” campaign, backed up by strong national and regional campaigns of a selected group of cabinet ministers.

All party campaign leaders rush from place to place to rescue the endangered and succor the weak, virtually assuring that there will be little of substance discussed bn any of the sides.

For this election campaign Trudeau chose his cabinet ministers on the basi of relative importance of their jobs, the national reputation and “visibility” of certain ministers, and the results of public opinion surveys by the party to determine the characteristics associated with various ministers in the minds 0: voters. While Trudeau has remained the central figure in the early going of the campaign, definite steps have been made

to create a strong Liberal team image.

Trudear’s major weapon during most of September was the radio and television hotline, which provided him with “the best means of conducting a dialogue with the people.” The Liberals, with a 4.5 million dollar budget, and the Conservatives with 3.8 million dollars, have both allocated over one million dollars for the use of media.

From the beginning of the hotline shows and cross-country flights, Trudeau’s whole campaign has been geared to nationalist sentiments in Canadians.

Witness his platform of “national integrity”, focused around the altering of Canadian sovereignity in the Arctic, the “new relationship with and Trudeau’s claim of Washington,” better economic performance in Canada than the United States during his administration.

All these elements are intended to contribute to his ultimate claim that “never before have the Canadian identity and destiny been more secure. ’ ’ But all that has really been heard about “national integrity” is the two words, and that the Liberals are the unique protectors of that quality.

Ocpriorities” for casionally the “national the next few years are described with the hope that this will develop into a national feeling of buoyancy - a cheerful, and ill-defined, nationalism.

had just churned out the stirring version of Air Canada.

The PM, being no political slouch, raises a toast to “Ein Prosit”, changes mugs with the official (who has a smaller amount of beer) and quaffs it to the delight of .the assembled multitude, who follow suit.

One of the dozens of plainclothes policemen moves in front of me to see the crowd and is accosted by dirndled ladies from the club selling lottery tickets: “You got two dollars ?” He says he doesn’t.

The PM then decides it’s crowd-wading time, and plunges in, followed by his nervous and edgy police protectors.

One man has already had his hands cuffed behind him and been carried unceremoniously from the room. No explanation.

Reporters and photographers are being constantly harassed.

By this time, I’m drowning in my own sweat, and so is everyone else. How do these suitand-tied types take it?

The band strikes up a polka while Pierre gets hi< hands shook, his face kissed, his shirt-sleeves grabbed. Twice while trying tp follow along, I am spun around, asked for the press I.D. which is in plain view pinned on my front pocket. But I do not see one uniform in the room; they are all kept outside. Pierre dons a green Tyrol hat, sits at the head table and signs papers, programs and anything else shoved at him, glancing at his watch now and then.

One plainclothesman watches me approach the PM with my notepad and pen and mistakes my intentions.

“No sir, No. Other side of table for autographs,” and shoves me away. Shit, I mumble, no autograph. As with all the cops, he refuses to look at the Press card under his nose.

Pushed back into the mob, I am unwillingly forced against several low-

decolletaged young frauleins.

The unavoidable hazards of the profession.

Despite the laughing and shouting, there is a scary undercurrent of hatred and ugliness here. A young man tries to climb onto the table to get Pierre’s signature, -and an old reporter growls, “Get off the fucking table. Jesus Christ.”

“Sorry,” snarls the ,young man, expectant smile suddenly erased from face, “I didn’t know it was your table.”

The PM tiredly joins some costumed German dancers who have established a small beachhead on the dance floor for their big moment in front of the PM and he finally gives into his political training and -jumps tiredly into the circle, taking a delighted young lovely by the hand while the photogs snap away. He is not wrong: the next day, the K-W Record carries a large shot of him dancing with the girl.

Then, with a look to the men around him, he is gone, and the bandleader yells into the mike, “Lad tes and Gentlemen, this has been a visit by the Prime Minister

ground essential in an election victory.

In order to do this, a set series of speeches has concentrated on “forward” policies such as resource and industrial development ; that is, until growing dissatisfaction with Liberal strategy in dealing with the economy becomes a shout.

Or the feeling of Trudeau arrogance and disrespect convinces the government that more votes can be obtained by talking about the govern-

ment’s record in office or social reforms.

Despite the irrelevance, Trudeau apparently intends to persist in his “conversation with Canadans” while the opposition leaders attack specific points .of the government’s record.

Trudeau firmly believes that “only at election time does every elector have to think of all Canada too, and this is what we want the election to be-a time of reflection for Canadiahs.”

As for the

of Canada,” much the way a TV announcer would say, “This program has been brought to you by AIlBright, to get your clothes more than clean.”

Dying for some air, I fight the resumed land rush toward the drink stands. At one exit, I am stopped by a large Kitchener cop.

“This is as far as you go.” “I’m just trying to find my way back to the press bus,” I protest, whiffing the relatively clean air just outside. “Other way,” he grunts. Jesus, nobody can get out, either?

Finally, outside in the dark parking lot, a well-dressed man walks by talking intently into his hearing aid and the PM’s party takes off, motorcycle cops, OPP cruisers and all. Ten Kitchener police file back into the building; uniforms are now okay again.

I look through my H.S.T. journalism handbook to see how to end a thing like this. It says “Thirty.”

It doesn’t say thirty what. I’ll have to look that up. \ -george kaufman \

outcome, Trudeau stated early in September that, “I see it as a catharsis, as a bath of fire in which you’re purified, and you settle alI the piddling questions of whether this little thing was right or wrong.”

He has also said that “voters will go for the jugular” and assess the record of his term in office. If enough voters take him seriously in that challenge, he may be sorry he spoke.

Library chief retires Chief librarian William Watson, responsible for raising UW library holdings by more than 80 per cent during his tenure, tendered his resignation on October 2, 1972.

Watson will leave Waterloo in early january to take a position with the University of British Columbia, where he worked as director of technical services before coming here.

Asked by the chevron whether recent budget curbs, which seriously affect library operations, were the basis for his leaving, Watson remarked that they “weren’t decisive” but were factors in the decision.

Watson outlined the effect of the cutbacks introduced by the Davis government as “more serious to libraries than to any other sector of the university . ” In november of 1971, the library book purchasing budget was axed from 1.2 million dollars to 800,000 dollars; the university itself was forced to absorb a cutback of 8.5 per cent across the board while the library seemed unduly hit with a 88 per cent reduction.

The november decision to cut library funding was made on the recommendation of the Pre-

UW chief month.

Treaties

and how

land shrinks Indian Treaties and Surrenders, Queen’s Printer, Ottawa, 1891, 1902.

Reprinted by Coles’ Publishing Company, Toronto, 1971 (3 volumes with index and maps).

--

These volumes have been reprinted at a time when interest in Indians is very high in this country and elsewhere.

They will, of course, provide a useful resource for persons wishing to explore the treaties. They do not make popular reading however.

The 3 volumes of Indian Treaties and Surrenders cover the period from 1680 to 1902. A total of 483 treaties and surrenders are contained in the set. Volumes 1 and 2 appeared originally in 1891 and covered the years 1680-1890.

Volume 3 appeared in 1912 and contained documents down to 1902. Even so, treaties signed since then are not available her.

These volumes contain the texts of treaties, descriptions of the land involved, releases and surrenders of reserve land and adhesions to existing treaties, and maps of the areas under consideration.

The famous “number” treaties of the western (excluding British Columbia) provinces clearly show the intention of the government to direct the Indians toward agriculture.

They also show the government’s concern to give the treaties validity by defining the men who signed the treaties as the responsible agents of the Indians. The Indians, as treaty 6 (1876) states:

the chevron

“Being requested

by Her Majesty’s said commissioners to name certain Chiefs and Headman, who should be authorized on their behalf to conduct such negotiations and sign any treaty to be presented therein, and to become responsible to Her Majesty for their faithful performance by their perspective Bands of such obligations as should be assumed by them, the said Indians have thereupon named for the purpose, that is to say, representing the Indians who make the treaty at Carlton, the several Chiefs and Councillors who have subscribed hereto, and representing the Indians who make the treaty at Ft. Pitt, the several Chiefs and Councillors who have subscribed hereto.”

The legality of the status of the Chiefs and Councillors is established by a non-1ndia.n document so that they may then legally set their marks to the same documents in order to surrender their land, in this particular treaty, 121,000 square miles, “more or less”.

The chiefs became pexsioners of the government or quasi-civil servants.

Over the next few years several other groups of Cree and Assiniboinae in the territory covered by this treaty adhered to it. Th’e Plains and Woods Crees who “have not yet given it their adhesions” to the treaty, “presented themeslves” to the Indian commissioner of the northwest territories and “expressed a desire to join in the said treaty.”

So the “recalcitrants,” Little Pine and Lucky Man signed the treaty that Big Child and Starblanket had signed three years previously.

The buffalo were gone by the end of the decade and the new life had begun.

The documents were very straightforward in their language and contain, as far as a perusal can discern, none of the poetic language about “rivers running” and “sun shining that are frequently said to be contained in them. However, that language was used in the speeches made by government officers in persuading the Indians to sign treaties. On the contrary the repitition of phraseology is that of contracts.

The surrender of reserve land frequently, if not invariably, contains a phrase such as: “that the annexed Release or Surrender was assented to by him (the Chief of the band) and a majority of the male members of the said Band of Indians of the full age of twenty-one years then present.”

“That such assent was given at a meeting or council of the said Band of Indians summoned for that purpose, according to their Rules...”

“That no Indian was present or voted at such council or meeting who was not a habitual resident on the Reserve of the said Band of Indians or interested in the land mentioned in the said Release or Surrender.”

In the case of the surrender of Reserve land the, $documents

contain the signatures of the Indian agent and of the Chief of the band. They may also include the signatures of other members of the band.

If these documents are examined with greater care it may be possible to employ them for various purposes beyond the more obvious uses of checking boundaries and establishing terms and descriptions of the land involved.

One element which quickly comes to the attention of the historian is the continuity of leadership within certain families over a period of one hundred years.

It tells us something about the stability and continuity among these communities.

The treat texts should be read in accompaniment with Alexander Morris’s The Treaties of Canada with the Indians, and the accounts of missionaries and others who were present at the “negotiations.”

Oral traditions from the Indians will be necessary however to balance the accounts.

Perhaps the most significant context for studying these documents is indicated by the publication of a new edition of Native Rights in Canada 1972.

This is the second, and much expanded, version in two years and may be regarded as an important contribution to a major topic for research in Indian history, especially since m-any contemporary Indian leaders have publicly raised their concern about treaties and native land rights.

is the savage?

The Canadian Savage Folk first published in 1896, is one of a series of books that has recently been reprinted as a part of the Coles’ Canadiana Collection.

The Coles’ series includes a number of important books on the history of Canadian Indians, such as Alexander Morris’, The Treaties of Canada with the Indians. Many of these various volumes, which have been previously out of print, are making their re-appearance‘ at a time in which Indian history itself IS beginning to emerge .as a recognized and significant part of Canadian history.

17

The Canadian Savage Folk, written by John McLean, is both a testament to the old ideas concerning the necessity of Indian acculturation and at the same time the beginning of a new understanding of the Indian peoples of Canada.

The author as seen from his writing must be viewed in a dual role. In one sense he is seen as a product of the old stereotyped beliefs relating to the Indian, while on the other hand he has made a definite step forward in reassessing the Indian people.

Through his own experience amongst various Indian peoples such as the Blood Indians of the Canadian north-west, McLean, gained a fuller understanding of Indian life.

McLean’s work represents the beginning of a new understanding of the Indian, taking note of the richness contained within his culture and traditions.

McLean is able to see the beauty of Indian life, by viewing it independently of white society. He has thus been able to come to terms with a common fault of many people of his era, in that he realized the necessity of viewing Indian society in ter’ms of itself, and not in terms of white society.

The author is till however subject to the whole concept of ‘bible and plough’ concerning Indian administration.

He fully believes in the importance of bringing the Indian into the mainstream of Canadian life. Yet he is capable of seeing that there are definite problems created by this policy, attributing them solely to a lack of co-operation between the governing and christianizing agents working with the Indians.

He is incapable of seeing the basic contradiction which exists in his work, in that he recognizes the significance of Canadian Indian life, and yet believes that the Indian should still be assimilated into white society.

For McLean though, writing during the late nineteenth century, he has still made great strides forward into a recognition of the Canadian Indian.

McLean’s book though now dated must be seen as a significant contribution within the historical development of a new Indian history.

The Canadian Savage Folk, stands out amongst a host of other Indian histories written during this period, as one in which the Canadian Indian begins to appear as a people with a culture, and a way of life, significant within itself.

This particular work is worth reading, expecially for a fuller understanding of the attitudes which predominated during this earlier period of Canadian Indian history. Although the majority of his beliefs are not acceptable to Indian people, they still provide the reader with some useful insights into the general attitudes of this era.

His book further represents an addition to the written sources available on Canadian Indians, a part of Canadian history, which is all to often ignored.

There is one other exception: Rick Worsnop, who played Bert Bentley, the musician.

Though he looked the part, his projection was

appalling, especially in such a small theatre with good acoustics.

His presence was ineffectual and exerted a strain to distinguish his words.

Still, it can be a happy ,experience to see a play, even a Noel Coward one, at 11:30 on a school day. The theatre is an exciting place, by nature of its definition: the costumes, the fantasy, the drama. Red Peppers as a play is not stimulating or eciting especially now, decades after its original conception.

This particular play seems a strange choice for director Maurice Evans

to make on his own sole judgement.

Perhaps something that really is more relevant to our time and experience, maybe even something Canadian, could have meant more to both spectators and actors. But the company must be praised for participating, for working at it and really getting into it.

Such an effort, though not altogether successful, might suggest that apathy and authoritarian power-trips haven’t wiped out everyone on this campus.

But the aura and ambience are all British, of Guiness beer and the West End. This is alien to Canadain youth, a fact made painfully eveident by the actors’ noble but failing attempt to perpetrate the image. They begin the play with definite Cockney and English accents only to vary them with wild fluctuations throughout the action, often pronouncing a word differently from one minute to the next and carelessly slipping into their own Canadian accents.

1972

Just jivin’ Five p.m., Friday, corner of King and Queen, Anywhere, Canada. A couple of hours to kill until the bus leaves, the hostel opens, the first show at the Odeon starts.

Daylight’s just about gone and all the strangers are mushing determinedly towards unknown destinations; you feel kind of strange lolling against the bank window and decide to go for a stroll.

More banks, hardware stores, jewellers-not much to look at, even less to feel.

You turn a corner and at the bottom of the hill the elderly neon tubes of the pub beside the railroad station beckon. Why not?

It’ll be warm, and your funky threads should be more- acceptable across the tracks.

You go in, order a pitcher, light a cigarette.

The room is filling up with men in working clothes, talking loud, joking with the waiter, flashing you the occassiona I disinterested on&-over.

A young guy with short hair and terrible front teeth gets up and throws a quarter in the jukebox.

Shit-kicking time, most likely, or maybe some Osmond Brothers bubblegum.

But surprise!

Chicago and Joe Cocker and the Stones, right here in Anywhere, and quickly the aimless thoughts coalesce into memories of other places, faces, loves, good times sitting around with good people, jumping up and down on the dance floor with your old lady, and suddenly you just feel like....jivin’.

Jivin’ is an ancient and honorable activity, probably first practiced in the agora of ancient Athens, and can be generally defined as the absolute enjoyment of totally inconsequential activites.

Simply walking down the street, in the proper frame of mind, opens up endless possibilities for jivin’ as do standing in line, waiting for your car to warm up on a cold wmter’s morning, and bopping diagonally across the main floor of the Campus Centre with a turnip In your mouth.

In order for proper jivin’ to take place, the appropriate music is also necessary: not too light, not too heavy, relaxed but somewhat animated sounds are best. A fine example is Jesse Winchester’s “The Nudge”, a bouncy little ditty Incorporating such sentiments as “It’s against my better judgement to go on and do the nudge with you,” which also makes the point that lyrical profundity and jiveability are inversely related.

Two new albums, Ambush (A&M SP 4364 by Marc Benno and People....Hold On (Tamla-Motown 315.\ L) : by Eddie Kendricks,

partake of some of the essential attributes of good jivin’ music.

Although they represent different contemporary styles-blue-eyed soul and Motown, respectivelyeach has the sort of insidious charm which disappears when analyzed too closely, but, if taken in conjunction with some form of pleasant mindlessness, casts a glow of warmth and good feelings over the omnipresent trivialities of time in our life.

The recipe for Ambush goes something like’ this: put Marc Benno, an excellent guitarist and adequate vocalist, in a studio with Mike Utley, Carl Radle, and Jim Keltner, as fine a rhythm section as you’ll find in rock. Add some funky Bobby Keys tenor sax, sprinkle with cameos by Jesse Ed Davis and Bonnie Bramlett, and some tasty Southern-fried soul is the result.

Although Ambush is something of a change from the more poporiented Minnows, Benno’s first album for A & M, it is equally successful.

Benno is rapidly establishing himself as one of the front line of rock artists, and in retrospect it seems likely that he, rather than Leon Russell, was primarily responsible -for the eclecticism and wide range of the Asylum Choir albums.

Eddie Kendricks just split from The Temptations, so it’s not surprising that People....Hold On is quite similar to their recent work.

Play side 2 first and dig on the title track, a catchy spiritual with African percussion, chanting ,chorus, and excellent energy flow.

Then a really nice surprise, “Date With the Rain,” a throwback to those medium-tempo swingers that, yes, The Temptations used to feature.

The remainder of the album is pretty standard Motown; but with an abundance of imaginative touches, such as the Swingle Singers-style fanfare on “Just Memories.”

“Girl You Need a Change of Mind” doesn’t quite sustain interest for all of its 7% minutes, and “Someday We’ll Have a Better World” has a bit too much J.C. and not enough “Superstar,” but People....Hold On is still highly recommended to those who aren’t put off by mere mention of the “Motown Sound.”

In an era dominated by the extremes of heavy metal headache merchants and gossamer-thin pseudo-sensitives (fill in your own blanks), the contributions of such accomplished jivers as Marc Benno and Eddie Kendricks cannot be too highly valued. Thank you, gentlemen, and if you’re ready, mama,. there’s a slowed down low-down boogie spreadin’ up from my toes, and though it’s against my better judgement....

Mainline Bump’n’Grind (GRT 9230-1015): the Tusic is almost as hackneyed as the “concept’‘-a burlesque showrock concert at Toronto’s Victory Theatre-but if you’re all pissed up and feel like grossing out your friends, the album sort of makes it.

Mainline at best has never been a particularly subtle band, but the addition of saxophonist Ronnie Jacobs brings their sound close enough to Downchild’s to make it palatable.

Add an interesting oddity or two-notably an “America Drinks and Goes Home” version of “Misty’‘-and one can almost forget the boobs-and-ass graphics plastered liberally over record jacket and Lp. Almost.

Floy Joy (Tamla / Motown M751L)

by The Supremes: despite a superb production job by Smokey Robinson, The Supremes minus Diana Ross are just another “sophisticated soul” group. All the songs are by Smokey, are all quite good, and raise the hope that his decision to leave The Miracles is reversible ; but Floy Joy is, nevertheless, a bland and thoroughly undistinguished album. Supremes fans would do better to stock up on some of their earlier successes, such as Cream of the Crop and Supremes A’GOGO , which can often be found in the $1.90 bins.

Home Grown (A&M SP 4351) by Booker T. & Priscilla Jones: a rather ill-advised extension of their first album, Booker T. & Priscilla . Both feature their own material and a very laidback group of accompanists, but Home Grown is decidedly inferior. It includes an eight-minute version of “Born Under a Bad Sign,” which offers conclusive proof that Priscilla is not a blues singer, and an interminable (actually 12’ 20”) “Who Killed Cock Robin,” which offers conclusive proof that Booker T. is a bit of an egomaniac; throw in what Bre probably the worst covers of “Maggie’s Farm” and “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” ever made, and even another group of excellent (although uncredited) accompanists can’t save the album.

The Joneses should go back to things like “Wedding Song” on Booker T. & Priscilla, where they are supported by fuller and more inventive arrangements; meanwhile, Home Grown will shortly be appearing in your local bargain basement.

Mozart revisited For those of us with classical tastes and little money, Columbia Records has issued an excellent recording of Mozart’s six string quartets dedicated to Haydn on the Odyssey label (Y3-31242).

It’s a mono three record set priced about $7.00, and is a re-release of a ‘53 performance by the Budapest String Quartet.

The musicians are widely acclaimed and their realization of Mozart’s musical tribute to Haydn is impeccable.

The pieces themselves are in Mozart’s classic style and indeed at times sound similar to some of Haydn’s later works.

The first work, No. 14 in G major, IS light and flowing without being overly exuberant.

As with much of Mozart’s music, the tone of the passages, while not depressing, is of a sombre nature appropriate for any composer who seeks his inspiration from within.

In the second and third

movements, the tempo is slower and interest is concentrated on counterpoint and the delicacy of each note rather than some overall effect.

The fourth movement is yet another introduction of the theme as well as a variation on previous’ themes. It’s tempo is varied but for the most part faster than the second and third movements.

The closing passage is more lively still and has a stirring and, surprisingly, almost symphonic tone.

The impact of this coda; achieved with only four instruments is a tribute to both composer and musicians.

No. 15 in D minor is quite different from No. 14 in that its tone is subdued and its tempo moderate. The lack of extremes in this piece give it a mellowness often found in imporvisational jazz. Without becoming lethargic this piece has an overall relaxing mood and does not demand the listener’s attention.

The third and fourth movements increase the tempo and lighten the earlier restraints put on the music. The sound becomes more vibrant and an odd violin echo is used at one point to add to this variation.

The concert-disc recording of this particular piece is more lively both in recording (stereo) and realization of the music but has an annoying noise level and is aout three times as expensive.

Parts of the last movement in this rendition are reminiscent of Bach’s violin cbncerto in D minor and Mozart’s 40th symphony which I think says little for the performers, (the Fine Arts Quartet).

Getting back to the Odyssey recordings, no. 16 in E major is again a different sort of work by Mozart, who concentrates here mainly on extremities of range and feeling rather than the intricate counterpoint used in the previous pieces. In other words the instruments work together as a whole rather than a separate voices.

The 17th in B major is known as the Hunting Quartet and makes fantastic use of the lower registers

19

of all of the strings. This has the effect of making the strings sound more like horns and it is easy to see the origin of the name.

The passages are punctuated with abrupt changes in pitch that would seem daring to the listener of Mozart’s time. This changes give the piece a brisque and unique sound and the unexl pectedly short coda does not detract from the strength of the music.

No. 19 in C major is known as the Dissonant for its use of certain combinations of notes which were then considered illegal practice.

Many 18th and 19th century performers actually took it upon themselves to change these to what they thought they should be.

The effect of these harmonies gives the piece a sense of foreboding, but is not in any way what we would call unpleasant.

To Beethoven lovers this piece would probably sound somewhat like Bach, but to the Bach fan (like myself), this piece has a touch of Ludwig’s broodiness and almost seems out of touch with the other pieces.

The last movement draws close to Beethoven in that the instruments create a strong and turbulent ending.

The last quartet in-A major, represents the end of the two years work it took Mozart to write the pieces. It is not necessarily the best of the six, but does convey a sense of serenity found nowhere else in the other pieces.

The moderate tempo produces a clam and tranquil mood much like the 15th but without the slowness of pace which makes it seem a little longer than it really is.

This quartet is an excellent conclusion to Wolfgan’s tribute to Haydn, whom he thought to be the greatest living musician-which he was until Mozart was four years older.

The record set, then, is a worthwhile collection and the quality of the performance, as well as the Inexpensive price, make it an excellent purchase.

Raquel on roller skates “Raquel Welch plays this beautiful but innocent girl who has somehow gotten into the roller derby game, see, and she’s only in it long enough to get enough money so she and her two kids, who are staying with her mother in a typical middleclass home in small-town California, can be free of “being trapped there”, but her mother disapproves of her being in the skate game and wants her to come back and marry the town biggie, but then Raquel is traded to this guy who owns a club in Oregon and is filthy rich and a comer in the business and he wants to set her up as his well-taken-care-of mistress and star of his new franchise in Chicago, but everyone else on the team hates Raquel because of her beauty and her involvement with the boss, especially the alcoholic girl who had been the star (and the bosses favorite) before Raquel arrived, so we build to a climactic challenge match between the two girls to see who has to leave Oregon forever ( “and that’s a long, long time”), and the boss thinks its fixed so Raquel can go off to Chi-town with him, but Raquel and the ex-mistress know better, right?”

“Right, J.B., they’ll eat it up...”

“Excellent, J.B. But how do we get Welch for it?”

“She wants to do it.”

“She wants to do it?” ***** Yes, friends, she wanted to do Kansas City Bomber, at the Capitol. She called it her first real role as an actress, a movie she believes in, a girl very much like herself in the Hollywood game.

And, while it’s not quite as gawd-awful as the summary may make it appear, it comes appallingly close to that soap-opera silliness. At one point, while the two rivals are having a fist fight they roll (naturally) onto the middle of a railroad track. You can take it from there. The only surprise in this cliche-ridden plot is that there is no dramatic event which brings the two enemies back together, like one saving the other’s life or something.

If this movie has a strength, its the characterizations by several actors who manage to squeeze their bodies onto the screen between loving, lingering takes of Miss Welch’s, it must be admitted, exquisite. build.

Despite the formula-shallow approach and writing, Norman Alden manages to actually make the character of “Horrible Hank”-the slow, ugly farm boy who is shunned by fans and teammates alike-a likeable and interesting one. Kevin McCarthy, a veteran Hollywood character actor, also does all the right things in playing Burt Henry, the slick, scheming team owner.

The only other attraction “Bomber” might have is if you are a member of that proletarian elite, the roller derby fan. There is some good action photography during the film, though it verges on the ridiculous at the end scene, glorifying in slowmotion-rerun silliness.

On one level, of course, the movie can be viewed as a parable of the greediness and emptiness of the capitalistic system in which one person can control so many others’ lives and bodies because of money.

But any movie which tries that-and its not clear this is the case here at all- must inevitably be set against “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?“.

And “Bomber” loses on all counts in that comparison, especially setting Raquel’s performance against Jane Fonda’s.

The pity of it is, that this may very well be Raquel’s best acting to date; it was just the wrong movie, that’s all. Moving from “sex star” to actress is a classic and all-too-often futile syndrome in Hollywood, and Raquel is no exception (love me for something besides my body). If she wants to be noticed for something besides her body, she’ll either have to make herself less desirable (like AnnMargaret in “Carnal Knowledge”) or admit the obvious and play herself, a girl too beautiful for her own happiness. I wish her luck next time out.

witi beautifulwomen.

1s Two weeks ago, I went to see “Fritz the Cat”, a restricted, animated feature, and I was quite turned off by its unfunny, ugly humour; humor in which shallow, stupid characters were constantly hurting or killing other shallow, stupid characters.

Last week I attended a showing of the Monty Python farce, And Now For Something Completely Different, at the Waterloo theatre.

On the surface, “Fritz” and the Python movie presented essentially the same fare, yet I found myself laughing, often uncontrollably, at the absurd sketches of the Python movie where I had found nothing funny in “Fritz.”

The difference, I believe, lies in the intention of the creator. Where the makers of “Fritz” sought only to degrade human endeavor through overdone animal caricature, Monty Python chooses to point out the absurdity of certain human situations, plays upon the silliness of stereotypes, draws personality quirks to ridiculous extremes.

But through it all runs a love for the targets of the humor; even in the parts in which people are hurt or killed, you are always left aware that this is a parody, these are not real people. Since Python works with a repertoire format, characters denigrated or hurt in one sequence return in yet another characterization, unhurt, quite obviously only an actor in a play.

While Python’s subjects cover almost the full range of human experience, still there is an over-all cohesiveness which places this movie a step above the “Laugh-In” approach. Characters and themes return again and again in the film; animated segments, making ingenious use of still photographs, are inserted between the scenes employing live actors; ancient vaudeville jokes and stunts are played for their own cliche value.

It does no good to try to capsulize any of the vignettes here; suffice it to say that if you?ve been tuning in of the replays of the old Spike MilliganPeter Sellers “Goon Show” or enjoy watching “Laugh-In” or are a: faithful viewer of British humor flicks, you will enjoy “Something Different.”

Devotees of Python’s fantastic books will have to see this movie.

As with most presentations of this type, not all the skits or pratfalls will tickle you, but this one contains more honest zany humor than any attempt I’ve seen so far.

For some reason I didn’t bother to ask about, Waterloo theatre opened its first showing of this movie last Thursday free for students and, although there were over 50 seats left empty, the good humor of the crowd was contagious. Perhaps you might not laugh quite as much having paid to see it, but I doubt it will affect the funniness of the show. It’s the type of show you can go back to and enjoy again.

I’m fairly sure the free session will at least partially pay for itself in word-of-mouth advertising.

Hope the freebie isn’t the last one in this city.

Last week the girls once again took to the- field, this time they hosted the women from mcmaster.

The mat chicks proved powerful in the first half taking a 3-l lead before the Waterloo women could get their game together.

A catch-up second half produced one goal by Toos Simons to go with a first half score, and another by Di Hossie to even out the scoring and clinch a tie for the athenas.

Last Saturday, the athenas headed to Brooklyn, Michigan for their second tournament of the season, meeting first the girls from Goshen, Indiana.

The field was quick but so were the Waterloo women who ran circles around their opponents with a final score of 2-O. Goals were tallied by Pat Binnersley and Di Hossie.

In the second game of the day, Waterloo seemed really together but couldn’t manage to put the ball in the net. They spent threequarters of the game in the opposition’s end, even though the final O-O score (against michigan state) didn’t show it.

The -third and last Saturday game ended with Waterloo downing illinois state university l0. Clara Kisko, an up and coming rookie, scored for Waterloo.

Keen coach Judy Moore decided the ~ girls would play as much hockey

Hockey girls get hot Two Saturdays ago, the Waterloo female field hockey team travelled to Guelph for a tournament and emerged victorious over the hosts and queen’s university.

The athenas tied guelph at nil-all during their first encounter and were fortunate to gain the tie, for most of the play was concentrated in their opponents end. The queen’s intermediate team proved to be lesser opponents than guelph as the athenas came away with a four-nothing blank after the final whistle.

The deciding game against the queen’s senior team began with even play but the close encounter was called ten minutes early by the queen’s bench. Explanations for the early ending centred around ‘fatigue and hostility among the queen’s players’ according to their coach. The long bus trip from kingston had been marred by a traffic accident and the tense action of the final game was too much too take.

The athenas were given the match and the tournament.

Top scorers for the girls were Diane Hossie with three goals and Toos Simons with two.

The game, according to the players, was marred by poor. refeering creating bad feelings on both sides.

Waterloo played without either of their two goaltenders and had to use a replacement from among the squad. The team was leading 2-O with only twenty minutes remaining in the game, then disaster struck.

Defensive errors resulted in four quick goals for the opposition and a dejected trip back to southern Ontario.

while the other teams played only four games, she arranged for more teams to meet the athenas.

On sunday, the girls had another heavy schedule ahead of them and the strain began to show. Ohio put the athenas down 2-l. The only Waterloo goal went to Toos Simons.

They looked nothing like the team which played so well the day before.

The second game, however, against Bowling Green had water100 playing a fine style of hockey coming away with a 3-O victory, all three goals being collected by the prolific Simons.

The last of the day pitted a tiring squad against adrian college, but the athenas could not manage to score. During the final minute, adrian took the helm and won the game on a desperate goal.

On the way home, the team stopped in Ypsilanti to play yet another game against eastern michigan university.

The athenas using their recent experience to the best advantage, walked over the Ypsilanti women 40. Goals went to Simons, Sue Murphy, Pat Owen and Kisko. The opposition found themselves in Waterloo’s end only four times during the game, and once there, and befuddled by the unfamiliar territory they lost the ball.

Out of the eight games, Waterloo had only three goals scored against them winning five games, tying one and losing two.

That’s Canada.

The tracksters kept their athome tradition intact by squeaking out a win in last week’s warrior invitational.

Final score saw the home squad (male) with 96 and Queen’s a close second with 90 points.

The university of toronto made a strong showing placing fourth with only half a dozen competitors present.

Western continued to make its presence felt grabbing third place.

In the other sweep, Bill Lindley easily won the triple jump with a forty-six foot effort, Paul Dekking and Gord Robertson finished the scoring for Waterloo.

Lindley also won the long jump with 21’ 7” to complete one of two double wins recorded during the competition.

Sprinter Terry Rotondo earned the other double in the 100 and 200 meter run, but both his marks were rather slow, windy conditions notwithstanding.

of

may be a very essential

humidity

part

of a

baseball manager’s pre-game plan. Recent research has shown the kind of day actually affects how fast the ball can be thrown or how well it can be curved.

On cool, dry days the air is

heavier and more dense than on hot, humid days. Thus, on such days there is greater resistance to the baseball as it moves through the air, slowing it down. When the air is thinner-on hot humid days-there is less resistance and the ball moves faster.

When the air is thinner, air pressures around the ball are decreased and the ball will not curve as well; on cool, dry days the air pressures are greater and the ball will curve better.

This also explains why on some days a well hit ball will be caught deep in the outfield while on others it will go over the fence for a home run.

The implications have practical application for managers in the selection of pitching personnel, however it offers little toward how to fill the stands in a dying sport.

However, that’s not all there is, district attorney Jarvis Seccombe said, “The investigating is continuing”, although he remarked, “the cases were presented to me...and I’m not going to file charges because of insufficent evidence of any crime.”

All this makes one wonder how ‘high’ a seven footer can get on dope, or does it?

American football may be big down south, and candians may be proud of the difference which makes the northern brand separate, but don’t bet on it staying that way.

The painfulness a long distance

of jog -Paul

“Doing their thing” is what best describes last Saturday’s first, annual Oktoberfest road races.

All types, from the young to the old, the slim to the not so slim, the keen competitors who like to beat the runner that them last time to the equally keen runner who runs against himself trying to improve his past performances, trying to improve his body.

One hundred and forty-five runners and joggers participated in the first road races. All :but seven of these participants finished their events. Seven runners were forced out of the

condon

marathon due to muscle strains, pulls, tightening of muscles, etc. on that cold autumn afternoon.

The youngest participant was nine-year-old Joe Rektor. Joe and his eleven-year-old brother Chris were the final finishers in the bier doktor’s jog in a time of 56 minutes. Their father Ed, who had already finished the jog, did an extra lap to encourage his sons.

Winner of the bier doktors jog was 42 year old Robert Bowman from Woodstock.

In keeping with the philosophy of the organizers, which is to encourage par-

Over one hundred joggers took over the ring road for an hour last Saturday to run five miles for a good time, sore feet and a certificate saying they ran the who/e thing. It was the start of Oktoberfest and according to many worked up a good thirst.

ticipation, the only time which will be published is that of the last finisher, in this case, the Rektor brothers.

The age of participants in the five mile race went as high as 62 years. One participant drove to the

campus from Timmins, jogged, then jumped in his car for the return trip but not before promising to return next year, bringing with him more joggers from his area.

Eight classmates from forest hill

elementary school covered the course dressed in their school’s hockey sweaters.

One of their group, Lise Anne Moule was the first female to complete ‘the jog.

On the distaff side of the hap-. penings, the last marathoner across the finish line was Liesje Mulder, a grade twelve student from Barrie, Ontario.

Miss Mulder finished the 26.2 miles in 3 :58.17. This was her third marathon. Her best time on a level course was 3:5X0 in Toronto’s broadwalk marathon.

Top finisher in the marathon was Doug Scorrer from Ottawa. He has represented Canada in international competition competing in distance races on the track.

Scorrer’s time was 2:27.04, and just a scant 37 seconds behind was Darrell Frank, a third year student in Physical Education at laurentian university.

In third place was a faculty member from laurentian, the veteran marathoner Ron Wallingford.

Jay Thompson, a member of uniwat’s kinesiology department finished in seventh place. His fellow faculty member Ian Williams, attempting his first marathon, finished fifteenth in 3:09.06.

The day was cold, but the same cannot be said of competitor spirit.

Almost one-hundred-fifty - enthusiasts ventured through the wind to begin their Oktoberfest celebration with a bit of physical activity, with the first race over organizers look forward to an even greater reaction to next year’s attempt. photo by dick mcgill

title

-

The university of Waterloo golf team arrived in Ottawa last weekend with a stunning win-loss record behind them to take the OUAA championship for the third time in the last four years.

In less than two months, the group has faced forty-two different university teams and emerged victorious in every instance.

McMaster spoiled the warrior winning streak last year by edging the squad by one stroke.

This season, the team made no mistake and swept every t ournament before the championship.

Ottawa weather supported the Waterloo bid, providing a clam, sunny Saturday on the par-71 Carleton golf course.

Tim McCutcheon went out on the first day playing excellent golf to return with a leading 71-stroke score.

Dave Hollinger trailed his teammate with a 73, while rookie Fred Wilder shot a 75 to remain third in warrior standing.

At the end of the first day’s activity, the Waterloo team was nine strokes ahead of queen’s with 297. Western was far back in third scoring 313. Dave Bogdon (78) and Ed Heakes (79) rounded out the warrior first day scores.

Day two came with an overcast sky and threats of rain, but the precipitation did not increase until McCutcheon had finished the second eighteen holes requiring only 75 strokes to do it. Wilder, the rookie, also came home with a second day 75 total, his 150 total gave him the silver medal overall, four strokes behind team-mate McCutcheon who took the gold and MCcoll trophy for the lowest individual score. Ed Heakes, Dave Hollinger and Dave Bogdon

returned second day totals of 76,80 and 81 respectively.

Waterloo was the only squad to have all golfers finish with scores below 160, to make a top-four total of 603 and claim the championship.

As was the case on the first day, queen’s followed for second playing exceptional golf for the first time this season.

The university of western Ontario grabbed third, far off the pace.

Individual finishes for the warriors saw Hollinger sixth, Heakes eigth and Bogdon eleventh.

Eight teams were involved in the tournament in which the warriors “couldn’t play any better” according to coach Jack Pearse. He thought the course to be adequate with the greens in ‘great shape’, but added that the overcast second day made for more difficult golf with a sluggish ball.

Eventual winner Tim McCutcheon came to Waterloo after two years on a golf scholarship in Indiana. After attending university there, the university of Waterloo assessed his courses as comparable to grade thirteen and allowed him into first year at uniwat. However, he only lost one year of academics because he was accepted below the border following grade twelve in Ontario.

At that time, he was the top junior player in Canada and at this point represents the best in Canadian universities.

In the five preceeding tournaments, McCutcheon won four and was runner-up in the other. The other being the Trent invitational-which was played on his home course.

Another championship behind them and no national tournament in this sport, the team retires for a short rest before beginning winter workouts which includes videotaping and indoor driving into a net. The preparation is for the strong U.S. competition in the spring which coach Jack Pearse is looking forward to in eager anticipation this year. “This is the strongest team we’ve ever had and we can take a lot of those big U.S. universities,” he commented.

Headaches are not in the future for the coach, for the team will return intact for another attempt at the championship next fall.

Although no one is commenting, the university of Waterloo ranks as the premier golf team in this country and not far behind the best below the border, if at all.

The first flag football game Wednesday afternoon saw village 2-east defeat renison 6-2. Carol Bertuzzi was the one responsible for village 2-east’s touchdown.

Renison managed a safety touch later in the game to complete the scoring.

Meanwhile, st. pauls was on its way to winning their game against village l-south 3-O. St. Pauls intercepted a pass on the village lsouth 5 yard line and took it in for a touch down. Millie Pierce got another touch down for st. pauls and somebody else managed a single in there somewhere to blank village l-south 13-O. Conrad Grebel had an easy game as village 2-north defaulted due to a lack of players.

The village 2-west vs village lwest game was an even match all the way. No statistics are available on the game at this time but the game ended in a 6-6 tie.

St. Jeromes were blanked by village 2-south 1-O. Good defensive playing by each team seemed to be the major factor in the outcome of the game. Sue Hamilton kicked into the end zone for a single to lead village 2-south to victory.

The game of the afternoon was the phys ed and ret vs village lnorth game. The performances by each team were fantastic. Actually it was a game of strategy as each team was trying to outwit the other.

Village l-north looked a little unorganized in the first half as they couldn’t get anywhere on their pass plays. Phys Ed and Ret got a beautiful touch down on a length of the field run by their quarterback.

A convert attempt was blocked leaving the first half score at 6-O. Village l-north needed some fast points so they pulled up their socks in the second half. Phys Ed came on strong, but village l-north were connecting.

North’s quarterback hit Lynn Grant on the phys ed 1 yard line and she fell into the endzone for the socre.

A strong rush by phys ed blocked north’s convert. The game went back and forth. Both teams were so equally matched that there were no serious penalties. It was good football.

It looked like a tie game until North got lucky on a third down kick. The ball took a good bounce

,25

into the phys ed endzone. That flash from north, Anne Patterson, caught the phys ed player in the endzone to give north a 7-6 lead.

But the game wasn’t over yet.

Phys ed and ret were looking for a touchdown and it wasn’t until the last play of the game when north’s Arte Koorevar intercepted a pass that the game was really over.

Both teams agreed it was the best game they’d ever played and said they would meet again in the playoffs.

Women’s self defense Registration -will be held thursday, October 19th at 9%) pm in the combatives room physical activities building.

Instructional skating will continue this week with classes on tuesday at 1: 00 pm and thursday at 1:30 pm at the Waterloo memorial arena.

Recreational The recreational program began last week in a flurry. Ball hockey saw 17 teams turn out at seagrams, while floor hockey added 7 more.

Twelve teams entered in the co-ed volleyball league, which takes place tuesday night.

Free time volleyball is also offered at seagrams 6:00-7 :00 pm and lO:OO-11:00 pm each tuesday.

The ball hockey league has seen action already on thursday night and will also be playing a full schedule of games Wednesday evenings. Floor hockey will also go thursday evenings.

In early floor hockey games played, the raiders took the gnads 16-4, mucket farmers over co-op 90, and the grads over vl-west 3-O. In men’s flag football action as of tuesday, October 3rd show Conrad grebel continuing its winning streak with a 26-6 decision over renison to maintain first place in the church college division. Other games in the division saw st. pauls take the greenbriar 15-13 and the mudders defeat st. jeromes 8-O. In village league, village l-west and village l-east still hold 1st place with a 2-O record each. In games played in this league village 2-north defeated village a-south 140 and village l-south defeated village l-north 16-O. Optometry and the CCFU’s hold 1st place in “C” league with 2-O records and in league “D” kin and ret and regular math also hold the same record. Science and lower eng tied 6-6. Regular math defeated sysdes 7-1 and kin and ret took env. studies 13-7.

So far optometry looks a good bet to repeat their last year’s finalist position with Conrad grebel still holding the favorite to repeat position.

BY ROBERT

CHODOS

Datiid and the bums While Robert Stanfield was trying to present himself as a credible alternative to Pierre Eliiott Trudeau, David Lewis was trying to present himself as a credible alternative to Robert Stanfield.

Officially, of course, Lewis, like the others, was running for Prime Minister, but not even the most optimistic New Democrat expected to see him living at 24 Sussex Drive after October 30.

Opposition leader, though....well, maybe.

It was still a very long shot, but it did not seem quite as long as it had a few months earlier.

When Trudeau announced in May that there would be no summer election, the NDP issued a long collective sigh of relief.

By the time the election was actually called the mood September 1 had changed; the volunteer canvassers, the staple of any NDP campaign, were flocking back. That was partly because of the result of the British Columbia election ; it was not obvious how, if at all, it would be translated into federal seats, but provincial election victories always help, especially if they are as convincing as the one in B.C. The other reason for renewed NDP buoyancy was that the party had come up with an issue.

It was not an issue that was in any sense socialist, yet it was the sort of issue that neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives would dare to touch, and it was all summed up in a phrase that Lewis used over and welfare bums. over again : corporate The last person to talk about corporate welfare bums, although not in those words, was a chartered accountant named Kenneth Carter, whom the Diefenbaker government commissioned to study Canada’s tax system back in the early sixties.

Carter came up with the unlikely proposition that a dollar was a dollar and should be taxed as such, whether it belonged to a construction worker or a mining company, whether it was earned in the steel mill or in stock speculation.

That was too much for the Liberal government of Lester Pearson, by then in power, and the Carter report was part of the unfinished business passed on in 1968 to Pierre Elliott Trudeau and his finance minister, Ben Benson.

Benson packaged a watered-down version of the Carter proposals into a White Paper on tax reform, but the yelps of injured innocence from the business communityand particularly from the mining corporations, the chief of tax bonuses and beneficiaries loopholescontinued unabated.

The tax reform bill that was passed into law in 1971 was so drastically changed from the original proposals as to be unrecognizable.

That is where the matter stood when David Lewis picked it up in early August, In a series of speeches, he dealt with a number of variations on the same main theme.

“In 1951, on a national accounts basis,” Lewis said in Toronto August 11, “corporations paid 28. percent of all direct taxes collected by the federal government and individuals paid 26.7 per cent; a fairly equitable sharing of I..

the tax burden.

In 1973 individuals will pay 49.9 percent of all income tax and corporations only 12.2 percent.

-At one time the proportions were equal; now individuals contribute four times as much as corporations.”

Almost half of the 93,000 corporations in Canada pay no tax at all, Lewis pointed out.

And what corporation tax is paid is going back to the companies through the expanding web of government handout programs.

“Under the latest budget, only 15 per cent of government revenues on a budgetary basis will come from the corporations while 15 percent of federal spending will go to so-called ‘economic development and support’. . .that is to say, to grants and handouts for the corporations.

Figure it out: 15 per cent from the corporations minus 15 per cent for the corporations equals zero as the net contribution of the corporations to the social programs of the federal government.”

But what really got the newspapers interested were Lewis’s specific examples: -Shell Canada paid no income tax at all on earnings of more than half a billion dollars between 1964 and 1969.

In 1970, it paid $16 million on earnings of $123 million, a rate of only 13 per cent.

Meanwhile, from 1965 to 1971 Shell got more than $4 million in government grants.

-The International Nickel Company of Canada paid no income tax in 1971 on net earnings of $210 million, and even received an income tax credit of $2.8 million that it can deduct from income tax payable in the future.

-Canadian General Electric paid $26,777,000 in tax between 1967 and 1971 on net earnings of $211,643,000, a rate of 12.65 per cent.

Between 1965 and 1971, it received $81/2 million in government grants of various sorts.

And the number of jobs provided by CGE declined ten per cent between 1970 and 1971.

It was all rip-roaring good stuff, and it caught on immediately in the press, itself a major gain for the NDP; it had been a long time since anything the NDP said had been deemed worthy of front-page headlines and lead edhorials.

Its impact on the voter was less clear, although the implications of tax inequities were easily drawn and Lewis did not hesitate to draw them. He pointed out that Canadian lndustiial Gas and Oil, for instance, pays income tax at a quarter the rate of a married man with two kids who makes $5,500 a year. And he said: “Someone has to pay. Someone is paying for our country’s medical services, public home construction, pensions and other transfer payments.

And someone is paying for all those grants and tax concessions to the corporate friends of Liberal and Tory governments.

And that someone is YOU, the vast number of lower and middleincome people who can never quite tally up a surplus at the end of a hard year’s

work.”

He was also careful to make sure nobody got any wrong ideas. “The issue we have raised is not against corporations but against a tax system which allows too many corporations, particularly large ones, to avoid legally their fair share of taxation,” he said at the end of a London, Ontario speech There was little David against the big militant without being companies, radical, upholding British standards of fair play. Lewis had found his niche.

Hand in the swish “Swish barrel” politics?

A concept foreign to Upper Canadians, clearly, but in Newfound-

I3 October,

1972

land, Canada’s Happy Province, swish barrel politicking is as much a part of the provincial political spoils system as packing the public service with party hacks and the traditional fattening up of favourite government contractors.

Most of Newfoundland’s rum supplies -are imported from Jamaica and other West Indies and are shipped in barrels.

Long storage gives the wooden barrel staves an alcohol seasoning, a preserved flavor that can be extracted by soaking the barrels in boiling water.

The resulting liquid is a wicked rot-gut potion locally known as swish.

To get a rum barrel to soak out for swish it helps to have a friend on the Newfoundland Liquor Commission, or to have a friend who has a friend, etc.

Thus swish barrels go to a very select few, patronage crumbs for the lower classes.

But as a political system swish barrel politics respects no class lines.

In fancier classes it operates in a remarkably similar fashion and those Newfoundlanders who have had trouble accepting this recently learned a detailed lesson through the unlikely medium of a royal commission.

“Who wons the liquor stores?”

Memorial University student protest placards had been demanding for years.

The “liquor stores” are storage and retail facilities located all around the province and rented to the Liquor Commission.

The mystery was that no one ever seemed to know who the landlords were.

The new Tory government was mandated to find out and, needless to say, revelled in the task.

The royal commissioner was Fabian O’Dea, a former lieutenant-governor appointed

by Diefenbaker and a loyal Tory heeler even in the lean years.

He had the news in jig time.

Investment Developers was the closet company which owned fully a third of the stores and the company, wonder of wonders, was owned by none other than Joey Smallwood himself, along with bosom chums O.L. Vardy, his former economic development deputy, and Authur Lundrigan, millionaire businessman and crown prince of the Smallwood cost-plus contractors.

The clue to scandal had been the rental rates which the government paid, rates considered totally out of line with the quality of facilities provided.

For the seven buildings rented to the government by Smallwood and friends, the O’Dea commission figured about $37,500 would have been a fair annual rent. The actual rent was $73,191 a year.

But even at that the profit was merely in thousands, relatively small potatoes by the standards of a Lundrigan.

And in truth the O’Dea commission proved more revealing in the auxiliary goodies it unearthed in its quest of the liquor store owners.

Besides a parade of lesser Newfoundland public servants, the included some of rogues’ gallery . Canadian capitalism’s most venerable institutions . . . the Bank of Montreal, the Royal Trust Company, Brinco and Distillers Corp.-Seagram’s Ltd. of Montreal.

While Smallwood, Lundrigan and Vardy clearly made a purse on the liquor store rentals, it transpired, somewhat strangely, that they lost it many times over through rather weak speculation in stocks.

Sometime between 1963 and 1965, with the Newfoundland government still busily negotiating with a Brinco subsidiary for development of the billion-dollar Churchill Falls power project in Labrador, the terrible trio entrusted their company, Investment Developers, to the province’s bankers, the Bank of Montreal, as collateral for a $1.5 million loan which they used to buy Brinco stock.

Oddly, for insiders, they bought at prices that generally have not improved since and they fell on hard times.

“They got nothing,” Tory premier Frank Moores has said. “But it wasn’t for want of trying.”

Meanwhile, the O’Dea commission charged that the Bank of Montreal has since forgiven Smallwood, Vardy and Lundrigan (Lundrigan was a member of the bank’s board of directors until the week the commission reported) “thousands of dollars” in interest on their loan, an accusation the bank has yet to deny or adequately explain.

Then there were the shenanigans of the Royal Trust Company, on whose provincial advisory board the ubiquitous Art Lundrigan also sat. The co-operation of that company was essential-and invaluable-to the schemers.

One nice gesture

by RT was to bloat the appraised values of the buildings for Lundrigan’s Ltd.-the company which built them and originally owned them-so the company could get high mortgages.

RT also put up the mortgage money and acted as trustee for Investment Developers, until, to its embarrassment, it realized its rather awkward position of being both lender and borrower of the mortgage money.

This little oversight was swiftly remedied by transferring trusteeship of the company to Bankers’ Trust Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Trust.

Seagram’s got only peripheral attention in the report: O’Dea accused them of putting pressure on the Newfoundland Liquor Commission to take more of their lines, presumably in exchange for putting a fresh jingle in the Liberal campaign collection plate.

When the smoke cleared a bit, the Newfoundland government purchased the highly-priced services of Toronto legal cracker-jack J. J. Robinette to advise them what to do.

Robinette found some grounds for criminal action and all kinds of grounds for civil actions.

But the Tories are copping out, claiming their only interest now is recapturing the excess rent and cancelling the hoary leases.

Joey, of course, denies all wrongdoing. In debt up to his ears (by his own account) he is sequestered away in his apartment where, he London, Eng., says, he is bearing down on the typewriter with an eye to getting his version of Newfoundland history to press by January, just in time to keep the wolf of starvation from the door.

And while he slaves away in the London fogs his other apartment, located in sun-soaked Clearwater, Fla., apparently remains vacant.

Which seems a pitiful extravagance considering Joey took $70,000 in cold cash out of that virtually empty sock to purchase it as recently as last February.

If wishes were horses, then beggars could ride; and if last spring’seuphoriaoverthe “hbm regime” had any more substance than wishes, we would all be someplace else this week. Terry won something of an upset last year for federation presidency, and the so-called “Moore Mafia” swept into the councilgood news to tired bodies around here, fresh, inexperienced troops to set the federation right again after years of frustrating sandbox government and a slow but clear downhill slump for movements of all kinds; movements which looked for a while as if they might actually take root somewhere among the young. perhaps first among the college people, since that is at first sight the most logical place for it to have time and energy to develop. But somewhere between now and last Spring, Terry Moore has become disillusioned and bitter; old friendships among the members of the “Moore Mafia:” have dissolved over seemingly petty distractions; the promised swing from sandbox to political substance has left us with afederation in near-hopeless shambles and a seemingly unstoppable BSA which has come to dominate the federation’s effect on the campus: what does the average student know of the federation? it provides concerts and pubs and cheap movies. The Moore regime seemed Waterloo’s final hope that this campus wouldn’t fall into the political and social doldrums which hit Guelph and other universities.

It remains to be seen whether someone-or several someones-will pick up the pieces and carry 0~ whether the rest of the gang will fold like Terry has, assuming this time his resignation is for real . . .. . .despite the noises above us, we are still down here trying to turn out a paper each week and need new faces badly; please don’t be shy-if you have any interest at all in what this paper could be to the students, or what kind of outlet it could be for you, drop in and talk with someone.

uman Awareness”?

- as if we were caught taking it for granted.

It sounds like someone is linking problems like the destructive demands people put on each other with people’s lack of sensitivity to each other.

Like pressuring each other to respect the laws rather than of clockwork schedules gravity?

Is someone saying that our fears and mistrustful feelings are increasing the alienation between young and old, the resourceful and the unresourceful, the strong and the weak, those who are learning 2nd those who are unlearning?

Or is someone even suggesting that we are relating to each other as machines?

Well, yeah.

I figure that hiding from each other is a rather negative way of communicating.

But is someone presuming that “Human Awareness” is the straight-forward (but narrow) path of deproblemizing our fragile earth? Like:

ReZigion to psychology: the transformation

.

0 The church has always perched on the wrist of ower more as a hooded Rawk than a wise dove. 5 Hand-in-hand with the political and economic growth of a powerful society ha< been the growth of a religion affiliated to that society.

When t-he physical structures of a society fail to meet the real needs of the people, religion and its psychic absolutions were always present to heal the blights of sinners who have rejected the ways and rules of the societal order.

The role of the priest, throughout history, has been “psychic doctor”, mediating the problems of the individual alienated from society.

The matter is always reduced to the simple fact that the problem is <he sin of the individual rather than “his” society (read: reality).

The sinner must “return to the fold” or be- left out in the chaotic wilderness.

Religion never challenges the fundamental structures of society in its search for sin. After all, it has always been the political-economic structures of society which have supported religion.

How has religion maintained a hold on people?

Invariably, one of the essential teachings of religion has been “faith”: “the church has been invested with knowledge ‘beyond the availability of ordinary manbelieve and you will be saved” (from confusion).

L,Jri ii/ the last two centuries, knowledge ha<; +cn the almost exclusive . domain of the i ilurch in every society.

It has thus been e<lsy to control the answers for the many questions people have asked about the world.

The tools of scientific discovery were almost non-existent, and people themselves stuck‘ to their home territory, experiencing little else.

As it was impossible to factually answer many questions; the problems were

verbal release for a volves temporary, controlled period of time. The tendency in these groups is for people to feel good, then immediately return to the situations that have originally caused the problems.

An even greater misconsequence of psychology in its similarities to religion occurs in the conflict of values between doctor and patient.

When a patient comes to a doctor in confusion with his life, he lays his values bare, to be picked at and criticized by the doctor.

The doctor, in his immovable position, either consciously or unco&ciously imposes his own values

5 The confessor hangs in the. rafters like a bat, with Lnruffled feathers, blind to earthly forms. § onto the patient.

As long as this power pcrsition is maintained in either a blatant or a subtle way, this result is inescapable.

So where do values come from? Does one person have a better set of values than another?

Those values which are derived from fundamental human needs (eating, loving etc.) are common to humanity but are often mutated and come to the surface in varying forms.

However, the values most significant to our society are based on economic pbtential: people with differing economic resources have differing abilities to use, own, and desire both the necessities and wealth of the world.

Yet, historically, the church has always been able to mystify the differences not in the needs or values as much as in the economic abilities that

“Oh, if Richard would on/y get together with Chou and Mao and Nicholai and Leonid and their friends, and just sit down quietly and enjoy each other’s prescence.

Maybe if Pierre came along he would roll a couple of joints and they could relax and let all their natural warmth flow across to each other, wow...then they’d really understand.. .”

It’s easy to think that everyone desires equal, brotherly relations, but the dynamics of power in the world have too often shown that for some people there are more preferable things in life than equality and openess to others.

Obviously, the emotional interaction of people is a very important factor in dealing with change.

But this set of dynamics cannot be understood independent of the other forces which shape the world.

Societies have always seen the struggles of individuals to experience and express things beyond the norms of that society.

The larger the society, the less able it is to satisfy the needs of all its4constituentsdue to the diversity of not only the people but also of the land upon which a large society exists.

People begin to feel dissatisfaction because they are experiencing a reality (a set of values, needs, perceptions) alternative to, or opposed to, the large society.

Changing conditions are of course felt sooner by people than they are by a society, but the longer a society preserves its old forms and rules, the higher the level of alienation.

This results in drop-outs, freak-outs, and reactions to the rules in the shape of “crimes”.

church suited

The mystifications of the church, backed by its presence and power, imposed its own reality onto society.

This has satisfied people’s fears but has hidden the real problems within the societies.

Thus religion has been an important factor in the collapse rather than the transformation of many powerful social-political systems.

However, in more recent times, the church has been unable to control knowledge.

Communication has broken out of the total control (but not the intense influence) of . religious and political structures.

People are experiencing the world to an extent that would be incredible to the citizens of past societies.

And, most important, significantly large numbers of people are beginning to see through the mystifications of the church.

No longer does religion give sufficient support to societal structures.

Churches are fragmented and argue among themselves within the same cultures; they attempt to use primitive means to deal with contemporary problems.

Even the power structures of society are finding it necessary to negate certain aspects of the church in order to maintain their own power.

The churches are not changing quickly enough to re-al ign themselves.

§The wisdom of the master’s bird descends on those who would be blinded by its protective wings. § The loss of the church as a major mediator would have posed a critical threat to the structures of most modern societies.

However, with the development of science directed by the values of the dominant forces of the societies, the significant advances in dealing with human problems were and are easily assimilated into the systems.

Back when Sigmund Freud was working hard to develop real insight into the nature of human relationships and the nature of the human himself, he strongly resisted any political affiliation.

This probably stemmed from a realization of how

political power could misuse his work.

Unfortunately he also refused any political perspective in psychoanalysis.

He refused to deal with politics to the extent that he did not take into account the effects of a political structure on shaping the individual’s world.

As *a result, modern psychology has

taken over where religion has failed: in dealing too emphatically with the problems of the individual and ignoring how the societal structures must be dealt with, psychological approaches tend to burden the individual with guilt or “sin”.

The psychiatrist and his couch have essentially taken over from the priest and his confessional.

The sinner is relieved to have someone to listen to his problems and take them seriously, but receives little substantial help other than medicine (sacraments).

Any advice relates to how the individual can adapt himself to the problems, rather than deal with the situation in a more complete way.

The pri,me “technique” of modern psychology is the “talking out” of problems.

Throughout history man has found that open and equal exchange of experiences allows a person to gain perspectives of experiences outside his own and to position those of both himself and others within an overall context.

But the one-sided confessing of both religion and much of psychiatric therapy does not allow this exchange to happen; rather, the listener maintains a position of aloofness and power as if his own values and experiences are intact and completely proper.

Therapy that goes beyond this (group therapy, weekend therapy) although incorporating more interchange, only in-

satisfaction

of the needs.

This mystification allows one economic . class to easily accept the values of a higher economic class, disregarding its own inferior power, resources, and, thus, ability to maintain those values.

And when the inevitable problems arise, the priest-doctor is there immediately to listen to the prob’lems.

Yet there is never allowance for the individual to deal with the economic factors which prevent everyone from sharing the wealth of the world.

The priest class, until very recently (which may be a factor in the lessening of the strength of the church) was made up of the sons of wealthy families who were left out of property by inheritance or who were adverse to battling out property rights in the ways of the propertied-class.

They grew up in a wealthy class and retained the values of that wealth within the church.

The teachings and policies of the church were shaped by these people in terms of their former values.

(And the churches have always been wealthy enough to reinforce these values among the clergies.)

In remarkably similar patterns, presentday psychologists often come from upper-! class or upper-middle-class backgrounds.

They are disillusioned with the attitudes of their corporate or professional parents.

They have seldom experienced economic problems, and the problems that confront them most directly are those of human relationships.

The most liberal of these people have made important and extensive developments in understanding sensitivity and being (at least in an emotional sense) sensitive to others.

Yet they generally have not reassessed their values.

Nor has dominant psychological thought traced the values back to their economic roots The power roles permeate our society in various forms of authority, competition and conquest.

They are reinforced in the family, by schools, and are constantly reflected in the media.

It is almost impossible for the standard practices of psychology to avoid these dynamics without radical reappraisal of its\ position and a fundamental change in direction.

How aware of each other can we be .if we fail to understand the background to the experiences of our life? Then, dealing with our problems, once a strong perspective of a situation is established, means being very sensitive to oneself and the others who are encompassed by the problem.

Building solutions means solid but warm, co-operative interaction among people.
