fhe Strike action diffused The tenor of the tuition fee strike, sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Students on ten of the province’s campuses, took a new tone over the past two weeks. Three occupations-at York, its affiliate campus, Glendon College, Western-have added and unexpected life to the protest over post-secondaryeducation policy. In light of- the less ’ than overwhelming support demonstrated last fall during the OFS referendum, these occupations appeared somewhat out of the ordinary as far as ‘student activism’ is concerned. The purpose of the fee strike is to impress upon the provincial government the concern of postsecondary students at the direction department of _ university affairs policy has been taking. The demands include one for a more suitable loan program, a reduction in the age of independence, rescinding the $100 increase in tuition fees and full, public discussion of government policy in post-scondary education. The Glendon -occupation of the college registrar’s office began -january 9, when 30 people walked in, protesting the withholding of student award grants from students who refused to pay their second term fees. The following day another group of students occupied the student awards office on the main York campus, presenting the same demands. David Slater, York administration president, announced‘ a policy reversal january 13, four days after the Glendon students had taken over the office. The occupiers left the building that evening. Slater indicated that OSAP cheques would be given to students, without fee deductions. Students already forced to pay in order to obtain their cheques were allowed a complete refund. The administration also cancelled penalties for late payment. The students on the main campus didn’t vacate the awards office until the following day, in the vain hope that the administration would ratify the OFS demands. At the University of Western Ontario, students began a three day sit-in at the fees office january 11, hoping to force the administration to release the grant cheques without the payment of tuition fees, as well as to confront premier Bill Davis, scheduled to appear on campus january 14. The administration agreed to release the OSAP cheques on the second. day of the occupation and when Davis refused to go to the fees office, the students decided to call

off the sit-in and confront him in the administration building, where \he was adressing a meeting of Progressive Conservatives. Less emphatic than an occupation, but perhaps more concrete, were the preliminary results of the success of the fee strike at Laurentian. Thus far 50 per cent of the student body has witheld the second installments of _ their tuition. A considerable number, when one examines it in light of the turnout on that campus for the referendum-roughly 40 percent. Having broken up their occupation, the students at York held a moratorium yesterday to discuss the fee boycott, and a probable direction to follow. A similar action was said to be in the works at Western. However, above and beyond these recent outbursts of enthusiasm, the overall success of the fee strike is in the hands of the large number of students who did not show themselves at the occupations of the various fees and administration offices. While these actions may heighten the tension, the results of last fall’s ’ referendum, and the less than overwhelming turnout, are still to be considered.

enrolment short-falls be freed to cover the revenue loss, and that the university-owned president’s residence be sold. A number of senators expressed concern over the financial constraints. Because of government regulations involved with the fee increase,‘ it was not considered within the scope of the university’s power to rescind it. With this in mind, Matthews ruled the first section of the budget proposals brought forward by the students, out of order. In its stead, a motion was passed which would, hopefully, express the sympathy of ‘the senate. The motion delegated president Matthews to inform the provincial government that the senate of this university does not wish to see any further fee increases, or any future hikes in the loan ceiling. Such a motion, in light of the rather strong position the department of university affairs validity of their proposals fell under discussion. The first order of has taken to the contrary, appears as the body that business was the acceptance of the as impotent reports from the various faculties, passed it.

At that point, the future of proposals bro%ght forward should be at the discretion of the body as a whole. Such principles are not inherent in the senate finance committee, or in the thinking of president Burt Matthews. The resolutions passed by the finance committee and brought to the floor of the senate included : “That this Committee recommends that Senate receive the 1973-1974 budget proposals which the president is presenting to the Board of Governors for (CUP)---There must approval.” Thus, senate has no LONDON have been somewhere else final say in the content of the premier William Davis would finance committee’s report, and is rather have been last sunday aflimited to the position of rubberternoon.

Ultimately this the program several years ago, relates to a broader political action planned on something different as individuals group together to become change movements. from the rest of the university courses which dealt solely in As to the student movement as a academics as well. This wasn’t, in whole, Bird sees an evolution as having taken place :- “In the early an overall sense, happening.

Yet students who took social issues and have a courses at Renison were not get- reasonable chance of su-ccess. This ting much more or different was a clear-cut ethos. But by the late sixties, after all of the education than they were in other disappointments, people began to parts of the university. With all of this in mind, turn inwards.

There is a kind of ambivalence with this ; neither blissful nor cynical but sober.” With maturity, this is where the Community Issues course should head, in temper. ’ What has existed up to the present with the course, has been a loosely held together, unstructured program going nowhere. This has been felt by both the faculty and students involved. In that the course is new, specific proposals were slow in development and implementation. StiIl, two areas of endeavour have been organized. One deals with a program for senior citizens and involves a community newspaper run for and set-up by them. Some of the technical problems are dealt with by the students involved in the program. Running parallel to this, is a community study to determine needs of the senior citizens in this area. This is to work towards greater power and representation, of which this group has none-the idea behind this being that one helps a group establish its own change structures. The other program is a para& (legal aid service, set up just before Christmas. A local lawyer and two articling students are teaching and will continue to act as a reference source to students in the course; who in turn provide an information service to people in the community. It is still in the developstuck, for the mental stages, present at least, on campus. However, the importance of this service is that it is meant to act, not * so much as an information service as a change force in the KW area. Unlike other agencies which provide only legal aid and information and require that a person hunt them out, this service is to become involved in the courts themselves. It is oriented to find people in need of assistance and act for them in more than -a purely legal sense. In other words, the design is to deal with both the problem and its source, which becomes the issue. And underpinning both of the projects and the whole program is the idea of setting up an alternative to existing institutions to challenge their validity. There is no specific political line underlying the course. Those involved concern themselves with

individual social issues. Still, there is a community sense and involvement developing. Whether the course and others on campus like it will catch on and reach a larger group remains to be seen. For the time being it works within its limits, set by participation and commitment.

The government ordered the ban after fishermen dumped three truckloads of debris which they had collected out of the river, in front of the B.C. legislature buildings on Jan. 11. They claimed that the debris had come from salmon spawning grounds. The fishermen said that bad logging practices “are threatening the whole future of the salmon industry” by blocking routes to these grounds. By law, the logging companies must leave all streams free of debris, but they have seldom followed regulations. They are also required to leave a green belt area along river banks to prevent land from caving in. This rule, has been broken. B.C. resources minister Robert Williams has cut short his vacation to conduct an immediate investigation. He promised the fishermen that if the situation was as serious as claimed “there will be real trouble, no doubt about it”. One fisherman said “once they’ve taken a tree from the land, that’s all they’ll get out of it for the next 70 years. The rivers will support the salmon forever”.

‘meeting with demonstrators in the occupied ’ fees building. “Sit down,” shouted the Davis supporters. Jeff ‘Lawrence, a third year law student, read a statement from the students who occupied the fees building. The statement outlined the group’s reason for opposing the tuition fee increase, and the university’s decision to withhold Ontario student aid cheques if tuition fees are not paid. (The adminiF tration however, decided last friday to release remaining student aid cheques.) Lawrence’s reading brought applause from most of the 250 outside members of the audience, but no reaction from the PC delegates . ’ Student Council president Rdbert Stikeman asked Davis how the university could cope with rising costs and fewer grants. Institutions, must cope with host increases within themselves using “creativity in methods of administration” to do so, said Davis. Davis claimed the number of university students began de&easing before the rise in fees. Th enrolment drop was due to other factors besides the fee increases, he said. “Sure. They found out what sort of places universities are,” said one audience member. “No one forces one to go to university,” replied Davis to applause from PC members. “What’s the alternative, bullshit Billie,” shouted another member of the audience. Student council educational vicepresident Adrien Hershel1 referred to a-section in the report of the Ontario Commission on Post Secondary Education (COPSE01 which calls on students to pay half the total cost of their education. Davis refused comment because the report is not yet final. He repeated an earlier promise that tuition fees would not increase in - 1973-74. ’

/ ’

“And the loan ceiling?” Hershell asked. “I don’t knoti,” -Davis replied. “I know what you want...” Davis said the COPSE0 report recommendation could lead to a “completely new approach to student assistance”? which could be based on the “ability oft the person to pay related to the income they’ve earned” after graduation, Davis said. Second year law student Ross McGregor asked what students could do to stop “the detefioration in the quality of education caused by the cutbacks in the universities”. He cited inadequate library facilities and faculty cuts as potential sources of deterioration. Davis replied, “We do not want to see the quality of programs deteriorate. As to what each individual institution can do, I can’t I help you with that”. Not everyone was satisfied with the responses to their questions. Peter Trodscha accused Davis of dodging questions, ‘after a query about student housing. “When we ask a philosophic question ,you answer with a specific ‘example. When we ask a specific question you answer with generalities. And that’s just your style, Bill.”

In november of this year, numbers of student council persons from across the country gathered in Ottawa for theexpress purpose of setting up the National Union of Students (NUS). At present, the organization, if such indeed it is, consists of three members (all from one province), a seven-person executive, nq legal structure, no policy and virtually no money. ’ NUS needs five founding members to incorporate. So far only Simon Frazer University and New Caledonia College in Prince George have held referendums approving membership. UBC; via a legal loophole, is a founding member without a referendumbut only until a fees levy for the union- is set. At that time the student vote becomes mandatory for continuing membership. The makeup of the current executive group is another indication of the organization’s lack of a national base.

Thr& of the seven are from B.C. campuses, one from Saskatchewan, two from Manitoba and one from Thunder Bay, Ontario. The founding conference itself was so ridden with dissension that both the Atlantic and Quebec representatives walked out. An executive meeting in Vancouver, january 4, broke up without final decisions on either membership or fees. The meeting was,postponed from the Christmas holidays because of ‘administrative problems’. Teri Ball, executive member-atlarge, said that until a rough idea of the number of NUS members is known, there is no way of setting up a fees policy. Eventual NUS membership is unlikely to be known before spring when at least the 18 student councils which have scheduled referendums will have held them. Students will have to vote on their desire for national representation without knowing the cost. At present, NUS is operating on a $1,000 grant from UBC’s council, but Ball said more money will be needed in the near future to “carry on effectively”. Appeals have gone out to prospective members for additional financing. ‘A national general meeting’ presumably involving interested student council members, will be held in may, with another executive meeting scheduled for sometime next month. Whether the agenda and results of these gatherings will prove as nebulous as the current state of the ‘National Union of Students’ remains to be seen.

New Inter-facultycourse 1 An Inter-Faculty Studies credit course is now being set up tq study and evaluate the Solandt Commission on the proposed Nanticoke-Pickering hydro line, the methods and the background information that led to its being set up. Some-of the items which may be looked at are an evaluation of Hydro’s original plan; tower design and the esthetic qualities needed in choosing towers; the necessity of 500 KV lines; Hydro advertising and the effect on consumers; an investigation of who will gain benefits from an increased power supply; and an in depth study of ‘open planning’ ’ and alternatives. The specific areas to be studied in depth will depend on the interest of the individuals that make up the study group. Anyone interested in becoming involved in the study should contact Mike Manett, W3-112, Village I, 884-9747, or J. Robinson, Ext. 2706, S. SC. 329.

Women at WLU Wpmen’s feelings, rights and roles will be discussed in a conference on Canadian women at Waterloo Lutheran’s women’s residence within the next few weeks. The conference was organized by Joanne Clark and colleagues of the sociology department at WLU. The emphasis will not be on trying to educate women,’ but to bring people together who might be interested in meeting others of similar interests. Each evening session will feature a speaker. Small discussion groups will follow the speech and question period, hopefully with a mind to forming policy-making groups that might push for new legislation and suggestions to government, boards of education and media concerning discrimination against the female sex. The first session, Women and the Family, will feature Joanne Turner, a social worker interested in the changing conjugal and sexual roles in marriage and parenthood. On tuesday, january 30, ‘June Callwood will speak on Women and The Law. She will look at alimony and divorce settlements, child custody problems, and child rights.

Dixie Guldner, a marriage counstillor, will conduct the third session on Women and Sexuality on thursday, february 1. Her approach will be an emotional rather than a technical one, dealing with differential sexual feelings, responses and meanings. At the last session of the conference, on tuesday february 13, Kay Eastham, author of Ontario Women and the Labour Force, will speak on Women and the Labour Market. Eastham is a public relations expert in the government labour department, her job entailing constant awareness of sexist discrimination. She will discuss her problems in enforcing the Equal Opportunities Act, specifically regarding discriminatory wages and status levels. Each session of the conference begins at 8 pm in the ret hall of the women’s residence. Admission is free and babysitting services will be provided. -Km

Nature’s table What is nature’s table? Hopefully it will be a weekly columndealing with piants, food, crafts and organic gardening. If you don’t see it next week then you know that the high standards of the chevron were once again put into effect (thank goodness!) Gardening is not too popular at this time of year but you can catch up on a number of things that are normally missed during the growing season. Reading some of the fine gardening books in circulation is a good way to pick up

useful ideas that may improve your next year’s crop. Some good gardening books whether you’re an amateur or experienced gardener, are, The Basic Book of Organic Gardening edited by ,Robert Rodale, Marigolds and Peacock Manure by Gillespe, and How to Have a Green Thumb Aching Back by Ruth

Stout. During january and february it is mandatory that you send away for your seed catalogues so that you will have something to plant in your garden once the frost is past. Some good houses to order from are Dominion Seed House, Georgetown ; Stokes Seeds, Box 10, James St, St. Catharines. If you can’t wait to get your seeds through the mail then truck down to the Ontario Seed Co on King St. in Waterloo. They have a wide range of seeds both wholesale and retail along with an assortment of gardening supplies. \ It is possible to start some plants at this time of year which can be transplanted into the garden when it’s warm. Most small herbs such as parsley, thyme, sage, lemon balm, chives, and summer savory can be grown indoors under fluorescent lights. If you’re a tree freak you can soak citrus seeds for a day or two and then plant them. In about a week you’ll have your own grove of trees. These trees will probably never have any flowers or fruit but they are quite enjoyable with their dark - green foliage. There’s a- lot more to do in the winter months when you can’t get outside to garden. If next week’s column appears I’ll tell you how to have your own garden indoors. -kati

Bruce Steele’s article, “It’s Bill Davies and the. Regional Goliath” is disjointed, confused and too wide-ranging. It is inconceivable that an article supposedly dealing with regional government (or does it?) no place mentions the pro? and cons of regional government. Mr. Steele shows how little he knows when he says, “the regional model is very American” because a major problem in the United States is- the lack of regional government. Also a comparison between regional police and state troopers is nonsense. Before Mr. Steele writes another article he should learn to write an organized, coherent essay and know his facts. richard

n the hierarchy of my private concerns, film violence has only recently become a “problem”. Although traumatized at an early age by the witch in The Wizard of Oz, thus beginning a lifelong aversion to anything resembling a horror film, I have always been a Western freak, whether the classic Stagecoach or one of the innumerable Randolph Scott or Audie Murphy oaters; and with no qualms about the villain’s violent end, either, since the hero’s fury was always both provoked and appropriate. His guns were either hung up or headed farther west at the fadeout, and he w.ould never have thought of taking the opportunity to dispose of his enemy’s wife, kids, and relatives (a staple of both Greek and Chinese tragedy). Although the morality was a simple one of white horses and black hats, it did serve as sufficient justification for the events of the plot. Thus I don’t think that I have any basic objections to the depiction of’violence, provided that it has some organic relationship to context. Clearly, there are numerous examples of works of art where violence is integral to the realization of the author’s intentions, and could not be omitted without irreparable weakening of force: the execution of the three soldiers in Paths of ‘Glory, the murder of the old lady in Crime and Punishment, and Goya’s drawings of the Napoleonic Wars in Spain suggest themselves at random. To forbid an artist the use of violence would make as much sense as outlawing one of the colors of the spectrum-we would see less, and be the poorer for it. , n viewing several recent films, however, I have been particularly struck by the gratuitous and -.I excessive character of the violence portrayed. Although it happened to be The Godfather which aroused the desire to write something about film violence, A-Clockwork Orange, Straw Dogs, or Dirty Harry could just as easily have touched off this particular string of mental firecrackers, and of emotions all the more personally significant precisely because they do not seem to be shared by my friends. With regard to The Godfather, especially, I found myself at odds with those whose opinions I usually share, or at least comprehend; thus, the felt necessity to tackle the “Violence in Films” problem, despite the slightly boggling amount of attention it has already received in the! Middle-and Highbrow media. As an example of what I don’t want to do, Michael Goodwin’s “Tooling Up For Armageddon” (Take One, March-April ‘72) is typical of the, sorts of simplistic analyses churned out by cultural arbiters attempting to double as sociologists. Chanting the familiar litany of Contemporary Evils (Vietnam, the population explosion, ecological damage), Goodwin contends that ours is .a culture “living on the brink of disaster,“,,conditioning us for a nightmarish future with a “bloodbath” of violence. After an admission that he hasn’t a clue as to what to do about it (although he thinks that less violent films might retard the regression), Goodwin concludes with the warning that the resultant despair is “the stuff that fascism feeds on.” A despairingthought, indeed; and the first thing which comes to mind is that this article appears to be part and parcel of that despair, characterized by precisely those cultural tendencies the author deplores, and a piece of the ~problem rather than a step towards a solution. he question is that of the role of the critic. Is he simply a nay-sayer, a gnat biting at the scabs of a wounded society, or does he have some responsibility to address himself to’answers as well as interrogations? That there is no simple answer was well illustrated by an exchange in the New York Review of Books between Mary McCarthy and’opponents of her contention that the U.S. shouJd immediately and unilaterally withdraw from Vietnam. Very well, replied the latter, but you must provide some alternative authority to

Some reflections 1,cinematic

stop the (hypothetical) resulting execution of anticommunist South Vietnamese. McCarthy answered, I think quite correctly, that this was so much hogwash, because it implied that before one could point out a wrong one would have to already know its redress: all right, I am murdering you, but before I stop you have to provide me with an alternative. On the other hand, I find it difficult to believe that the current proliferation of muckracking social criticism is a completely positive phenomenon. Ask yourself the question : after reading the umpteenth article on the plight of the Canadian Indian, are you motivated to do anything other than rage at the futility of it all? A minority, certainly, are moved to some responsive action, but I suspect that most of us are simply numbed by the serials of human

misery showing daily in the mass media, whether presented as “informative TV documentary” or “comments of a caustic columnist.” Although this sort of social criticism has been justified! in terms of turning on the concerned minority, it is beginning to be evident that too little attention has been paid to its effects upon the majority of passive ingesters. think there are at least two major consequences for the social surround in which we I live. The first is difficult to characterize precisely, but essentially involves a kind of numbing effect in terms of our sensitivity to the sufferingof others. Whether one chooses to use the phrase “Freedom of the Press” or “Repressive Tolerance”, it seems clear that the mass media expose us to substantial doses of human misery, to which we as isolated individuals can react in only limited ways-of which turning off appears to be the most popular. Whether one chooses to describe this as desensitization, alienation or information overload, the basic situation is one of learning to ignore unpleasantries over which one appears to have no control. The second consequence may seem much less significant, but it is personally important in terms of the manner in which I want to discuss film violence. It concerns the‘method of argument characteristic of the muckracking style, which, is essentially the a posteriori marshalling of causes to explain a given contemporary effect. The advantage of this method is that one can “explain” just about anything through a judicious selection of causes: thus although The Greening of America and Future Shock describe antithetical social situations, and project antithetical futures, each is to a degree convincing within the context of that set of information which the author has decided to stress. The point is not that Reich or Toffler are phonies, or are necessarily wrong. It is, rather, that their conclusions are determined by the particular intellectual filters through which they view the world, and have a corresponding degree of validity. Thus it would be quite simple to “explain” film violence by choosing X number of causes. The only problem would be that you wouldn’t know anything more about it than when you started to read this. And neither would I. Q.E.D.: we’ll have to try another strategy. hen in doubt, describe the situation. If we start by examining the nature of film, we are immediately confronted by the fact that film is an industry, a business which operates on the same principles as General Motors or Standard Oil. The name of the game is profit, and maximum profit requires the maximum possible audience. That the cinema was rapidly exploited by some very adroit businessmen, and not preserved for the exclusive pleasure of a privileged class (as the ballet has been, for example), is perhaps to be deplored, but should not delude us as to the possibility of an “artist’s cinema” free of commercial considerations. The production companies exist, the theaters and ,, distribution apparatus exist, and these are social facts requiring the production and consumption of film. Production and consumption. The “success” of a film equals the number of people who are willing to spend money to see it; and in a competitive situation in which movies are but one of several potential choices available to the seeker after entertainment, they must present an alternative to that which is available for “free’‘-i.e. television. Since television programming is fairly rigidly controlled as to violent or sexual content, primarily because of its greater accessibility to children, it is not surprising that the film industry has chosen to emphasize that which is forbidden to TV: explicit sex and exaggerated violence.

“The first like is that film violence

of a genera/ demand Unlike the continuing furor over overt sexual content, which has already brought about a four category rating system, those few individuals who have concerned themselves with the increase Sti film violence have not provoked any sort of mass protest against this phenomenon. In view of the Social Darwinisf ideology qf contemporary conservatism, and the identification of a “liberal” position with a distaste for any kind of censorship, we should probably not expect either analysis or concern from the usual sources’of controversial social issues; but remembering the deficiencies of the “social criticism-muck-raking” discussed above, this would not ,seem to constitute an objection to a continuing consideration of film violence. erhaps the most overtly violent type of film is the Western, where the drama of Good vs. Evil reduces to a naked contest of force in the absence of strong social controls- (the impotent Sheriff j. ln the “classic” Western (roughly, pre-1965), the Sast twitch of the villains signals a moment of choice for the hero: settling down with the banker’s daughter, or riding off into the sunset to seek further adventure. If we take these as metaphors for the acceptance or triumph of an advancing civilization, either decision symbolizes the, victory of the community over the individual. Gemeinschaft marches on, either absorbing or ‘pushing westward the man whose capacity for violence is no longer relevant. Contrast this with such more recent examples of the genre as Little Big Man and A Fistfut of Dollars. In the former, the tables have been completely turned: it is the cavalry and the settlers who destroy the more humane Indian culture, with General Custer presented as the bloody-minded leader of a Mongolian horde, rather than as the brave but injudicious gallant of They Died With Their Boots On (1941) or Bugles in the Afternoon (1952). A Fistful of Doliars celebrates the destruction of a community through Clint Eastwood’s clever manipulation of competing sub-group$, and its sequels, particularly The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, continue the theme of the protagonist’s abstraction from events in the surrounding society. In the latter film, only the jerks enlist in either the Union or Confederate armies, while the smart guys hang loose and pursue personal profit at the expense of both sides. Although Little Big Man and Sergio Leone’s “spaghetti Westerns” pr%sent different pictures of the advancing society-in the one case, pathologic;rlly aggressive, in the other, beset by idiotic factionalism-both convey rather similar attitudes toward the moral turpitude of American civilization. They indict a society rather than an individual or a discernable group, as the background of social corruption justifies the foreground of personal violence: in a world.of rats, he who grabs the most cheese is King. ndict a society” is perhaps too strong a phrase... Li or is it? If we deal with the concept of I “justification”, it would appear that the traditional Western legitimated violence as an appropriate response to a specific and temporary historical situation, whereas more recent examples of the genre present violence as a structurally drganic feature of contemporary social life. In terms of our increasing awareness of the ways society does do violence to people (women, ethnic minorities, nonconformist youth), we could be tempted to conclude that this represents an intellectual “coniing of age” of the cinema, a fuller comprehension of the “Violer_lce is power” equation unde?stood by such diverse men as Napoleon, Max Weber, and Mao-.Tse-Tung. In view of the contemporary film’s absence of any mitigating sensibility or thought regarding the consequence of social violence however, I doubt that we can accept it as some sort of “reality therapy” for the past deficiencies of movies-particularly when there exists a strong

correlation between the inclusion of gaphic violence and the economic success of the resulting film. If the first thing we can derive from such films as Straw Dogs, A Clockwork Orange, Dirty Harry, and The French Connection is a communication about the inherently violent nature of our world, the second is surely a message about the appropriate behaviour in this situation. The aggressive brutality of the police in Dirty Harry and The French Connectiori is perhaps the most obvious example: don’t take the chance of misjudging Joe Citizen, man, if he looks cross-eyed, zap him! The contrast with the old style Western Sheriff, who had to be ridiculed and shat on before retaliating, is evident; it’s almost as if -the old “Preemptive Strike” theory of the think-tank nuclear madmen has seeped down into the collective unconscious. Nice guys finish last; shoot first, talk later, the only godd --is a dead ----: old cliches achieving a frightening reality. he xonsequences for the social fabric, that precious area of intersubjective agreement which makes social life possible, can hardly be exaggerated. They are most evident in the sort of Fortress Persona mentality operative in New York City, where doors are triple-and quadruple-bolted and strangers are enemies until proven otherwise, but may also be observed in the 52 per cent increase in personal %saults in Canada over the last five years. We appear to be moving towards a realization of Hobbes’ conception of society as a “war of all against all.” : habits based upon a general trust of most people in most situations are replaced by a generaiized suspicion of everyone characterized by evasion, dishonesty, and the mobilization of hostile feelings. o attribute these disturbing phenomena solely *to an increase in cinematic violence w&Id of course be ridiculous. Up to this point I have been attempting to provide a background, a-context, within which we can sensibly discuss and try to understand an artificially isolated case of what is commonly perceived as the alienation, depersonalization, commercialization, ’ whatever, of contemporary life. To use these giant-sized and mind-boggling words, however, is to end discussion, to invoke the incomprehensible, to admit defeat. The fault is not in the words themselves, or in the very real situations which they describe, but in their promiscuous use as the coins of a conventional wisdom in our time. If we wish to make some intelligent application of them, I think that we have to provide some content which we can understand together: hard, shared, collective experience, of which watching

social br

all of our atte

films, and experiencing violence, is perhaps as good an example as can be found. o what happens when we see a particularly graphic depiction of v’iolence on the theater screen? For a significant portion of the audience, we would probably have to define “see” as “see as unreal”: as the advertisements for the film Last Housg on the Left reiterate, “Keep repeating; it’s only a movie....only a movie....only a movie.” While this may be a “healthy” response, in the sense that it at least temporarily preserves the sanity of the viewer, we should perhaps examine a bit more closely the type of conditioning going on here. (“Keep repeating, it’s only a- gas chamber....only a gas chamber....only a gas chamber.“) It has become quite commonplace to decry the desensitjzing effects of the barrage of violence in the news media, of watching the day’s installment of the Vietnam war an’d attempting to relate to “93 Dead in Bolivian Air Crash.” Although this is usually de?cribed in highly morai terms, as a kind of not-nice callousness towards the suffering of others, a more important consequence would seem to me to be the acceptance of violence as normative, as a basic and typical occurrence in the social world. Sure is hard to get excited about Bolivian air crashes (picketline violence in Kitchener, a scream down, the block) ; familiarity breeds;..familiarity: ho-hum, la-di-da, and the automatic inclusion in the taken-for-granted world of everyday phenomena. From accepting violetice as norms’tive, it is but a small step to adopt a totally fatalisitic attitude towards it. In the case of Bolivian air crash victims, this is both realistic (What could we do about it?) and necessary (How can we internalize the pain of the victims’ loved ones?) ; but what about other situations in which we have some actual or potential influence? Far from representing either greater realism or the dissemination df social conscibusness, it would seem likely that the experience of an unremitting flow of media violence operates to destroy our capacity to either comprehend or deal with it. lthough the above remarks refer specifically to the news media, we should not underestimate A the role of film violence in -encouraging a similar apathy. Most of us go to the movies as a kind of special ,event, to which we devote some thought, discussion with friends, and expenditure of money; we expect some return for this investment, and are proportionally more attentive to (and thus more open to the influence of) whatever film we have chosen. The question of the relative weight of the cinema and the news media in promoting affective anesthesia can be ieft to the social scientists; what is important here is the substantial contribution which film violence makes to this phenomenon. Turning to those who do have some kind of immediate r&action to blood and gore on the screen, we can make a simple distinction between people who are turned on by it and people who find it upsetting. Since I am not a member of the former group, my knowledge of them is as secondhand as it is speculative, but a few striking experiences with. the “I dig violence” folks will perhaps be of help in understanding their position. The first occurred when I was picked up by a young deliveryman (hardware supplies) while hitch-hiking to Toronto last summer. We found two topics that we could converse on: the second was films; particularly those featuring large doses of sex and violet-ice. His enthusiasm for both boobs and blood was quite unqualified, expressed in terms-of “The more the merrier;” and although I did note the force and vehemence of his opinions, I was more struck by the apparent relationship between his taste in movies and his self-described sexual deprivation. “Aha, compensation,” went the old mental ticker, and--l quite forgot about it until another conversation involving film violence cast some new light on what he had been saying. This second experience occurred during a discussion of A Clockwork Orange, with myself and another Chevronard putting it down while-a mutual friend defended it. Most of

our attack centered on the quasi-fascist nature of the film, and eventually our arguments as to its idealogical banality were accepted. This did not, however, change our friend’s ,enjoyment of A Clockwork Orange, and in trying to explain this he came out with the line “It made me feel.” My immediate reaction: sure, and so would,a kick in the balls. But after reflecting upon his statement, I was more impressed by what it said about the quality of life in our society. If some people have become so desensitized, so dead with regard to emotional feelings, that they require a massive dose of “ultra-violence” to confirm their existence, then we can hardly condemn them when they seek sensation wherever they can find it; but this by no means dictates our acceptance of such a situation. n contrast to those who see film violence as an unreal and fantastic thing, and deny any validity I or impact to what they see on the screen, those who enjoy graphic violence grant it a validity which overshadows the eventsof their own lives: the former conceive of violence as an unreal .adjunct to-life, while the latter conceive of life as an unreal adjunct to violence. Assuming that there are reasons for accepting the reality of both daily life and violence (which I hope that the reader will grant), either reaction can be fairly classified as a withdrawal from, or denial of, the basic conditions of being human. Before moving on to a consideration of what can be done for this “deranged community,‘, I should add that I do not want to imply some sort of exalted status for those who react negatively to violence in films. Obviously this could be an equally reality-negating response, although it at least contains the potential for a constructive reaction to what seems to me to be a rather unhealthy situation. We are familiar with the cultural stereotypes of the blue nose, shrinking violet, or little old lady in tennis shoes, however, and will not expect help from that quarter. o. What to do? Having tried to define the situation, having attempted to point out some of its contextual dimensions, we are still faced with the problem of dealing with- that which has been discovered. In exploring this context, it has become quite clear that the phenomenon of film violence cannot be isolated, except artificially, from the condition of contemporary society as a whole. Thus it would be easy enough to conclude with an appeal for fundamental reforms-revolutions-regenerations, and leave the “mere details” to your imagination. Where they would remain, no doubt, and justly so. The first likely response, I suppose, is that film,violence is simply a manifestation of a general social breakdown which should demand all of our attention and energies. Perhaps so; but if we wish something more fundamental than the sort of tinkering with established institutions already dabbled in by governments, I think we come up some hard realities, namely: (1) the kind of analysis and information from which we could plan change is either nonexistent or scattered among a plethora of sources, and (2) where this does exist, it has not been disseminated to those social groups which have an interest in changing the status quo. Thus those who would delay a confrontation with film violence until “after the are probably ensuring that such a conrevolution” frontation will never take place. The other side of the coin is that we do not appear to be. in a static situation, but rather in a rapidly changing, if not necessarily “deteriorating,” one which makes a detached, objective approach extremely difficult as well as probably incorrect. If we opt for “action now,” this does not preclude reflection and appropriate inquiry; it does commit us to acting on what is more commonly and comfortably held exclusivelyin the mind. ow -then should we attempt to deal with a phenomenon such as violence in film? My first suggestion will likely seem simple-minded, but it is made in the conviction that it is both an often overlooked and potentially powerful method of getting some feedback

against

into contemporary communication processes. Simply put, it is that we have to become more conscious of ourselves as consumers of culture, and act accordingly. In terms of personal relationships, for example, I suspect that most of us act so as-to minimize contact with people whom we find either offensive or simply boring; and if they were the only people inhabiting our social world, we would probably do our damndest to find another one. We are aware of the pressures, towards conformity characteristic of social groups, and conscious of the fact that if we hang out with folks we don’t like, it is probable that (1) we will lead rather depressed lives, and (2) are more likely to be affected by their collective influence than they are by our individual one. Therefore we quite sensibly seek a satisfying level of social reality. With regard to “culture” or “entertainment,” however, we seem to be much less aware of the effects of taking in what is simply because it is readily available. If we accept the idea that society shapes us, we need not accept the proposition that it shapes us all in the same way; quite obviously, it doesn’t which seems to leave some room for the exercise of individual choice and self-determination. We hold others to account for their actions, we attempt to control some of the content of some of the areas of our lives, and I can see no reason why we should not attempt the same thing concerning other kinds of inputs. Like Kultcha h. Perhaps some exaggeration will make this clearer. Imagine, if you will, someone who confines his en:. tertainment to whatever happens to be on the Top 40 or the best-seller list or, for that matter, whatever happens to appear in the Chevron. What will he be doing to himself? “Experiencing reality,” or placing himself at the mercy of social processes which grind out mass culture on purely economic criteria? And even if you enjoy the products of the latter, it is difficult to applaud a life lived with such a high degree of unconsciousness. With the above in mind, I think we can have some im-mediate influence on what is presented to us- as entertainment or culture by using our available assets of mind and awareness in a more sophisticated way, based on thinking about how “You are what you eat.” For example, Ihave recently turned down invitations to see Deliverance and The Getaway on the grounds that, having read their reviews, I would find their violence upsetting, and*found that none was mystified by it or thought that it cast aspersions on my intelligence, personality, or sex. f we can succeed in taking control over our personal range of entertainment choices, we I thus may begin a process which will rescue audiences from a status equivalent to that of the Victorian wife: prone and unresponsive. If this presumes too great.

an influence by isolated, turned-on individuals, perhaps we should next consider a social correlative for increasing awareness. ,j I think a clue is provided by a previous reference to entertainment as. that which “is presented to us”-is in some sense beyond our control. My suggestion, which may again seem simplistic, is that we devote more thought and energy to constructing (rather than merely choosing appropriately) a culture which is rewarding in terms of creation as well as appreciation. The major obstacle here, aside from again becoming conscious of the value of creating one’s own culture, is probably the cult of technical excellence which has had a strongly inhibitory effect on broad participation in cultural activities. It is perhaps most obvious in the sports culture, which consists of the progressive elimination of practically everyone from competitive sports, but can also be observed in such areas as “musical education,” where the talented child passes through a series of filters leading to the social role of “musician”. Although these filters- are often justified as timeless and eternal aesthetic criteria, anyone familiar with either the changes in these standards over time, or with the large number of- talented (and usually innovative) musicians who receive no formal musical education, will be aware of their culture-bound and highly relative nature. I am not arguing against excellence, but against a system which operates so as to define it as that which is the exclusive province of the few rather than a potentiality for the many. The net effect of this attitude, when multiplied over most areas of cultural endeavor, is to create the ideal consumer: passive, unthinking, and certain of his own lack of ability, alive only when applauding the efforts of, someone else. he antidote? Again, I think, we must begin to be conscious of how things happen and how they ‘affect us. If we arrive at the conclusion that available cultural options are -unsatisfying, we have to move towards creating new ones; if our music, literature, cinema, or whatever is inadequate, better an attempt of our own, no matter how apparently inept, than either useless bitching or fatalistic acceptance. This will almost certainly require the ability to work outside established institutions, not least because our products will rarely. meet accepted standards, but also because these institutions are incapable of relating to culture based on individual needs for satisfaction rather than an elitist conception of “excellence.” If we can overcome our conditioned attitudes about cultural forms and realize, for example, that there is no need for us to make “movies” with professional actors and expensive production processes, but that there probably is a need for usI to use the medium of photography in recording and understanding our lives, we may be able to begin. If we can realize that “literature” is not merely the printed page, but also those thoughts and feelings which we scribble down and want to share with others, we may be able to begin. And if we can realize that “music” exists independently of records and concert halls, exists wherever thereare voices, hands, and feet with something to express, we may fucking well succeed. Before any of this can happen, however, a tremendous amount of demystification and consciousness-raising needs to be done, of which this peice of writing has been a personal jumping-off point. It started out as an attempt to understand what freaked me out about violent movies, grew and accreted and escalated into whatever it has been for you, got kicked around, initiated, and encouraged by lots of good people, and it came out here. Somewhere along the way it ceased to be work and became an experiencesort of like making love when you’re tired. Well, I’m tired, I’m spent, but ‘if any of us got off together...it was worth it.

- Graham

Gr-ee’ne:

‘-Tantalizing @imp-se of + a colorful dropout ’ I 2.

A Sort of life, by Graham Penguin Books, London, 1972.

Greene,

-Graham Greene, one of our century’s most widely read, and enigmatic, writers has added yet another curious work to his puzzling collection of novels, short stories ’ and essays: a strangely shortened autobiography titled appropriately A Sort of Life (published in paperback by Penguin.) Greene, who has probably, more than any &her writer of our century, popularized the existentialist anti-hero, presents almost the same sort of picture of his own life. The book, barely over 150 pages, dwells in detail on his early childhood-which he claims is where each person later to emerge in adulthood is “formed’‘-and follows his literary career only as far as his third novel, which was his second dismal failure in a row as a novelist. There the story ends, leaving out his later trips and stays in Africa, where several of his finest novels are set(“The Heart of the Matter” and “A Burnt-Out Case”), and his journey to Mexico to investigate religious persecution, from which “The Power and the Glory” emerged. He explains the curtailing of his autobiography somewhat cryptically, saying: “If one cannot close a book of memories on the deathbed, any conclusion must be arbitrary, and I have preferred to finish this essay with the years of failure which folly-wed the acceptance of my first novel. Failure too is a kind of death...” Nonetheless, it is difficult to understand why Greene would choose to “arbitrarily” end his life’s story before the time in which he wrote the acclaimed novels for which most people would pick up this autobiography. A Sort of Life, then, is not an autobiography as we are accustomed to, but as he more accurately describes it, an- extended “essay” on his early life. As _ such, it is a sometimes boringly detailed, - but more often intriguing portrait not only of young Graham Greene and his family, but of an England still clinging to the illusion and the lifestyles of a world-wide empire. He writes with an almost mystic sense of wonder of his early childhood, saying at one point: “,Dreams have always had an importance for me...Two novels and several short stories have emerged from my dreams, -%d sometimes I have had hints of -what is called by the-difficult name of extra-sensory perception.” He claims that when he was five he dreamt of a shipwreck on the night the Titanic sunk; at the age of 17 had another shipwreck

dream the night a steamer went down in the Irish Sea, the scene also of- his dream; and claims in 1944 to have dreamt of Vmissiles some weeks before the first such attacks on London. As with all such accounts, however, he has not recorded the numerous dreams for which there was no corresponding rea I incident. He tends to dwell, throughout the first half of the book, on detailed accounts of the games he played while growing up, and tither minutiae of childhood which seem without import to the serious reader of an autobiography (we, learn that his most-loved possession was a teddy bear, among too many other revelations). One of the most startling discoveries to be made about Greene himself in this book is the fact that on and off during his growing-up he tried-unsuccessfully, of course-various methods of-- selfdestruction, such as cutting his veins, swallowing poisons and overdosing himself with aspirin. But the most dramatic attempts were with a pistol loaded with one cartridge, with which he flirted death in the fashion of “Russian roulette”, spinning the chamber before pressing the gun to his head and pulling the trigger. Never is any real explanation given for these attempts, except that he wished to break the “interminable repititions” of life at school, and for ttie highly sexual thrills he received from the experiences. “I put the muzzle of-the revolver into my right ear and pulled the trigger. There was a minute click, and looking down at tthe chamber I could see that the charge had moved into the firing position. I was out by . one. I remember an extraordinary sense of jubilation, as if carnival lights, had been switched on in a dark drab street. My heart knocked in its cage, and life contained an infinite number of possibilities. It was Iike\a young man’s first successful experience of sex-as if among the Ashridge beeches I had passed the test of manhood. I went home and put the revolver back in the corner cupboard.” Earlier in the book, he i-ad also referred to the sexual nature of fear: “Fear and the sense of sex are linked in secret conspiracy, but terror is a sickness like hate.” He repeated the experience several more times, but “slowly the effect of the drug wore off-l lost the sense of jubilation, I began to receive...only the crude kick of excitement. It was the difference between love. and lust.” Greene led the type pf romantically rebellious life open only to young’men of his generation, coming of age between the two world wars. He joined the communist party at Oxford, but obviously out of no real commitment to the ideology, since he later worked to break the general strike inLondon in 1926 while working as subeditor of The Times. Neither, however, was he an unquestioning adherent to the British privileged class in k which he moved. Of his strike-breaking activities, he writes: “More from curiosity than from any wish to support the Establishment I became a special constable and I used to parade of a morning with a genuine policeman the length of Vauxhall bridge...Our two-man patrol always ceased at the south end, for beyond lay the enemy streets where groups of

workers stood outside the public houses. A few years later my sympathies would have lain with them, but the great depression was still some years away: the middle-class had not yet been educated by the -hungermarchers. On the side of the Establishment it was a game, a- break in the monotony of earning a sectire living, at its most violent the atmosphere was that of a rugger match played against a team from a rather rough council school which didn’t stick to the conventional rrules.” Greene even carried the adventurist game as far as offering to spy for the Germans in the Ruhr. Though-he never did complete an assignment, the German governkent payed his way on a European

trip in which he played spy, despite the lack of results. “Today,” he writes, “I wpuld have scruples about the purpose I served, but at that age I was ready to be a mercenary in any case so long as I was repaid with excitement and a little risk.” What emerges is the picture of a young man with a vivid imagination caught up in the stultifying limitations of the privileged class of the Empire; he sought out anything, no matter how self-destructive, which would stretch or break those limitations. As with all such young men of his class, he was faced with the decision, finally, of choosing his career.” He writes of his feelings: “I was hemmed in by a choice of jails in which to serve my life imprisonment, fbr how else at-twenty can one regard a career which may last as long as life itself, or at least until that sad moment is reached when the prisoner is released: in consideration of good behavior, with a pension?” Though this is not-an uncommon attitude among young people “today, in his time and his society, Greene was expressing-and living-a radical ‘lifestyle. Greene subsequently falls in and out of several “career opportunities”, unable to ‘adjust to the strict boundaries or stiff

personalities of Empire business. At one point, he writes of himself in terms which can only .conjure up images of the romantic anti-hero off the pages of some writer like Christopher Isherwood : “Once I took a lace worker to high tea, but she didn’t sleep with me for all that. Oxford seemed more than si)c months away and London very far. I had fallen into a pocket out of life and out of time, but I was not unhappy.” In line with the puzzling ommissions of this book, only a few paragraphs of sparse information are given to explaining his sudden conversion to the Catholic church in 1926, a decision which seems more I than anything else t_o color the themes bf so many of his important novels. “I can only remember,” he says without elucidation, “that in January 1926 I became convinced of th‘e probable existence of something we call God, though now I dislike the-word with all its anthropomorphic associations and pr_efer Chardin’s Omega Point.” In fact, the Graham Greene approaching 70 years of age tends even tb dismiss the decision at this perspective as minor: “With the approach of death I care less and less about religious truth. -One hasn’t long to wait for revelation or darkness.” Despite the gaping ommissions leit in A Sort of Life, what there is of it is often enchanting narrative telling~ a glimpse of fascinating life and a time just close enough to the roots of our own lives to bear more interest than history. It also contains generous pori:ions of the tightlyconstructed prose of Graham Greene, portions’which, can do nothing but whet ‘our appetite for the rest of this man’s story, what seems to us the important part, the part hinted at when he tells of a night in later life with a friend in Bangkok; as they shared a pipe of opium and talked the past: “The smell of opium is more agreeable than the smell of success. We were happy that long ebening, as we passed the pipe to and fro and the small flame licked upwards towards the seed of opium and the shadow moved on Buddha’s fat complacent face and we talked cheerfully of the past and analysed our, differing failures without guilt or regret. Hadn’t Buddha failed too? The starving, the sick and the mutilated dogs lay around his temple where the yellow-robed shaven priests picked their proud . -way.” I’d like to know more about the Graham Greene who smoked opium in Siam and travelled up the Congo on a paddleboat and less about his favorite stuffed animals as a child. The child may indeed be father to the man, but the man is imminehtly more interesting? -george

For K-W Symphbny and Ozolins

\ , More pat tice ’needed Having been a bit delinquent last week, performance under Dyck seriously lacking your s’ometime reviewer will try to make up in vitality. That the chorus is shoved back for it by discussing not only the K-W into the bowels of the Humanities Theatre Symphony Orchestra and Chorus’ concert stage may in part be blamed for this-I’d of January 6th and 7th, but also the recital urge putting down the apron and bringing forward more when there is of Arthur Ozolins, a week later in the Arts I the performers a chorus behind the orchestra.

The second solemn Mass by one of the supreme and third I had to miss, and was thus masters of music. The Kyrie, to begin with, looking forward to the January concert with was taken at a brisk pace; but thisis not a interest to see what degree of improvemerit brisk-pace sort of piece. Comparison with the se&al months’ interval might have my venerable recording under Moralt and the Vienna. Symphony etc., puts Dyck at brought with it. That first concert was about ‘40 per cent faster.

Perhaps even more flagrant under the circumstances was the tempo ‘in the featured on the all-choral programe. A stiff Laudamus Te, in which Ruth Ann Archibald, dose for the singers: Brahms’ Song of whose essentially alto voice (I’d guess) is Destiny and Alto Rhapsody, and the Great Mass in C Minor of Mozart, K. 427; and pressed into mezzo-soprano service here, made all the stiffer by being done once on was simply stretched beyond_the breaking point, along indeed with pieces of the orSaturday and twice Sunday. I saw the last chestra. This is a fiendishly demanding performance, whereas Mr. Pitcher was at piece at any tempo, but at Dyck’s, it was Saturday’s and that may have made some simply impossible, and one has to say only difference. At any rate, I fear that I cannot that Archibald gave it a good try. There emulate Mr. Pitcher’s example here. More were, t’o be sure,‘felicities here and there, precisely: it strikes me that the symphony and chorus (and certainly, in this case, the but the net effect seems to me mostly wrong. soloists) are good enough, and have high enough aspirations, so that it is no longer appropriate to use the sort of standards one properly applies to one’s teenage The soprano soloist, Lynda Culham, has niece’s high school debut or, for that also a nice voice; and the two ladies sang matter, our own struggling musical rather well together in, for instance, the Domini Deus.

That said, it’s agreeable to report that in Mr. Arminian we now have a conductor who .obviously has no use for whatever laurels people have been resting on in the past, and under his service a real transformation has already been effected. Let’s hope he’ll be around long enough to see his revolution t hiough.

Meanwhile, thk “matter at hand. ‘Brahms’ Song of Destiny is not, iti’my judgement, one of his great works. Great or no, I found the

this imbalance). A pity, for both are just excellent. The penultimate nuniber (a repeated Hosanna follows it) is a quartet which can only be described as marvellous; here, happily, the conductor and I (and Mozart...) were at one about basic matters, and I thought this the best number of the day, even though the overtaxed ladies were no longer capable of their’ best effort; the two men, however, and especially Reimer, I thought, were really excellent. Pupils of this fine bass, who teaches locally, are for\ tunate. A general word about the orchestra and chorus: the stringsare coming along and now rather often, instead of just once in a great while, have that nice clean bite in their tone that distinguishes the professional orchestra from the rest. Occasionally strident, and intonation, inevitably, imperfect, but generally listena.ble. Chorus: capable of rather stirring sounds, But nowhere near Mr. Pitcher’s estimate of their abilities. As indicated, they were fighting their acoustics-lots of nice thick drapery just above their heads to muffle things down, -e.g.-and the loathsome K-W winter weather doubtless had j its toll of vocal capabilities, too. They sounded better last spring, and probably will again this. Moving (at last?) to Arthur Ozolins: he had an ambitious, varied program suitable, no doubt, to an up-coming young soloist who wants to prove himeself in the concert arena, with pieces by Scarlatti, Beethoven, Chopin, Scriabin, and some minor moderns. In the last couple of decades, the musical public has been deluged with prodigious young pianists, and the supply shows no signs of .running out. How does Ozolins stack up against the competition-people like Stephen Bishop, for instance? On the evidence of this concert, not very well, I’m afraid. Ozolins has the strength of a bear, and a very sizable supply of technique: passages of fairly formidable difficulty get waded into and cut down to ‘size with precision and elan. But where subtlety, insight, and sensitivity are required-and when, in the more important parts of the \ literature, aren’t they, after all?-it qust be said that he has a rather long way to go. The two sonatas by Scarlatti went reasonably well, I thought; but they were giiren cheerful, rather siraightforward performances whose efforts at a true Scarlatti style ’ were essentially afterthoughts, as I assured myself upon playing my Valenti recording of the L. 457 soData. Ozolins set his sights very high indeed by including the 31st Beethoven sonata, the op. 110. This WAS a serious mistake. There was plenty of vigour and so forth, but in this profound and complex work we need very much’ more that that, even when coupled with note-perfect (almost) reading. To cite the worst example, t’he scherzo in this performance was realljl bad-a hard-driven, mechanical rout taken at sustained high vdlume and devoid of insight.

Stumbling

Three very early Chopin mazukas came next. These pieces, not so very difficult mechanically for the most part, are great stumbling ‘blocks for 9the insensitive, and indeed, for many of the sensitive as well (a case in point is Michelangeli, whose Debussy I lauded last autumn: his recent

Chopin disc is vastly intelligent, technically peerless, but sqmehow not quite what the Mazurkas are about). The funny little rubato can’t be just jammed onto the keyboard from the outside, which is pretty much Ozolins’ way with them-it has to be an internal, natural part of the rythmic flow. The famous Fantaisie Impromptu got two readings at this concert, being repeated as an encore at the end of the evening. I’d thought perhaps he had second thoughts about his performance, but in fact the two seemed absolute!y identical-and both wrong. Those famous fusillades with which the piece opens reminded me, in his rendition, of nothing so much as a well-wound player piano. A certai? machine-gun-like quality pervaded them; ‘and then, the poetic par‘ts seemed just something to be got through and not lingered over. A nononsense performance, as a friend of mine put it. .

Two cautions Ozolins seemed much more at home with Scria bin, though undoubtedly this A judgement must be taken with the two cautions that I don’t know much about Scriabin, and that whaf I do know of his I dot0 much care for. That said, some of Ozolins’ renditions made me think there is more to this composer than I did before. It remained true that the range of expression in the playing was pretty limited; but SO too, I think, was that required by the work, so that for a change we got a quite good match but of it. There was rather much of Scriabin to be sure; he remains a composer of whom it is easy, I’m afraid, to get too much. The performances of Scriabin’s curious “Black Mass” sonata, and more especially of the “Danse Frenetique” of the Quebec composer Pepin and the Etude by / Papineau-Couture were, it seemed to me, rather good, and suggest that I’d have had. a much better feeling about’the whole show had it included quite a bit of, say, some of the more steely compositions of Prokofiev: In sum: I can’t second the raves printed on the program blurb about this young artist. He has lots and lots of agility and strength, etc., but thus far, at any rate, his musical insight seems sadly limited. Having run out of whatever space the kindness of the editors are willing to allot me, I shall shorten my intended accolades a bout the new performance of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony, all t‘he good things(nearly) that have ever been said about which are (mostly) true (sort that one out!), by Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestt-a and Chorus and the vocal quartet of Yvonne Minton, Pilar Lorengar,b Stuart Burrows, and Matti Talvela on Decca (British: {hat’s London records over here) and say only that the best efforts of Deutsche Grammophon Gesselschaft notwithstanding, DeccaLondon still knows how to get-sound onto micrbgroove better than anybody else, the Chicago is now quite possibly the best orchestra alive, and most important, Solti, who has been going fr,om strength to strength for upwards of a quarter-century, seems to me to have come closer to getting the measure of this marvelo’us work than anybody I’ve heard yet. (I have not heard the new ve&ion of Karl Bohm on DGG; the Gramophone thought it almost but not quite the equal of Solti; on the basis of past experience I’d predict my concurrence with that.) To go out on a limb, I would attribute this new-found mastery to Solti’s decadelong involvement with the symphonies of Mahler, about’which I shall say something in later installments .of this irregu!ar column. Meanwhile, get out your bits and champ heartily on them til this superb recording reaches your loca,l bins. (Note to hi-figh enthusiasts: all four sides of two records are used up on this spacious performance, so you need have no fear of high-frequency denigration due to groove- ‘. ‘crowding.) -jan

Joni’s music blossomi ~

By now you know Joni Mitchell. You either have her albums and have seen her in concert, or you are not interested in her music. If you are one of the many who have become, as I must admit I have, addicted to her highly personal musical style, then you will want to add her latest album, For the Roses, to your collection. For the Roses (Asylum SD5057) is an almost literal flowering of the roots laid down in Ladies of the Canyon and Blue, her two previous albums. Her musical poetry almost stands alone in the field of rock-folk lyrics. Like fellow-Canadian Bruce Cockburn, whe can be unembarrassingly sentimental and personal without resorting to the literary banality and musical repetition of a lesser artist like James Taylor or Cat Stevens.

While Ladies of the Canyon dealt more wifh the artist’s commercializing of her art (“For Free”) and Blue was an extended chronicle of her trip to -Europe and back, _ For the Roses speaks mostly of the artist’s _ relationship with herself and others. Because of this, her new LP contains the best poetry she’s written, and by- far the most consistent musical package she’s put is almost a together. For the Roses “concept” album, with each song and poem seeming to flow without interruption into the next, each thought growing fro-m the one before it.

_For the Roses dwells eloquently and unabashedly on Joni’s (and everyone’s) struggle So reconcile freedom and commitment, love and possession: “And you want to get moving And you want to stay still But lost in the moment Some longing gets filled”

and “Sometimes I get that feeling. . . And I want to-settle And raise a child up with somebody But it passes like the summer I’m a wild seed again Let the wind carry me”.. The title tune itself is perhaps an even more pewerful examination of the commercialization of the artist than “For free”:

“Remember the days When you used to sit And make up your tunes for love And pour your simple sorrow Jo the soundhole and your knee And now you’re seen On giant screens And at parties for the press And for people who have slices of you From the company They toss around your latest golden Speculation-well, who’s to know If the next one in the nest Will glitter for them so”

egg

But she admits that while she sings about it she is still a part of it: “I guess I seem ungrateful With my teeth sunk in the hand That brings me things I really can’t give up just yet” “Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire” is, in my opinion, the best and most evocative wedding of her words and music so far. A powerful ode to the sexual lure of the drug high, it is so intimately fused witti the music that it is fruitless to quote a part of it here. And, in “Blonde in the Bleach&s”, she starts simply with her own piano accompaniment-and builds seductively to a rhythmic rock finish.’ It will be difficult for -another Joni Mitchell album to appear in the future and Joni’s words from this LP and her other tp retain their power of credibility. She has said almost everything about her personal compromises and her compromises to commercialism for applause and economic freedom. But, even if “For the Roses” is the last music ever produced by Joni Mitchell, it will stand as one of the finest pieces of music to come from the movement called folk-rock. -george kaufman

Contesting the Canada asscapegoat mentality “Survival” by Margaret Afwood, Anansi Press, -Toronto; 1972. Atwood’s Survival is a well-researched, thoughtfully compiled ‘data-and-insight: bank, insofar as her interpretation of Canadian literature is concerned. Her thesis is this: every country or culture has one core-symbol-ours (Canada’s) is survival. We lack the adventurous, frontier spirit of the Americans; the smug, ‘home is castle’ confidence of the self-contained (geographically speaking) English. Our emblem is a skeleton of bare survival, whether it be hostile elements, natives, disasters, crises or merely ‘hanging on’ culturally (i:e. French Canada, and now English Canada in view of the Americans) that we are faced with. ’ Her explanation of our ‘survival’ and ‘victim’ conscious mentality is both inter-

esting and valid..Canada has always been a colony and colonies are a frustrated lotdenied any real - success or sense of achievement. But Canada is no longer in that colonial setting and Atwood generalizes too much in reference to our status today. Is Atwood projecting her own inabilities to cast off a Calvanistic, Waspish origin? Our (purported) preoccupation with survival can be well understood historically (but then so can almost everyone’s) but surely our present-day anxieties do not stem from uniquely ‘Canadian’ situations, but rather from the general state of affairs and feelings in a global context. To this extent then, perhaps it is misleading‘to try to assimilate patterns that facilitate an overall ‘poor-old Canadian scapegoat’ theme. As Atwood herself admits, this, the

Hot winds from the west “Collected and Bound” Fotheringham, November Vancouver; 1972.

twentieth century, is the era of ironic, pessimistic literature. Virtually all of Canadian literature has b&en produced in this era, so aren’t we merely reflecting the current trend? Although Atwood isn’t shoving her evidence down our throats, she nonetheless feels very strongly abqut her -position, and isn’t likely to change her perspectives about Canlit until her own perspectives change. In this respect,, she may be none but a forceful perpetrator of the ‘suffer-suffer’ ‘gloom-glodm’ spiral complex that seems now to dominate the literary scene. Then again, the literary profession in general has never been heralded as bearers of great joy, so why start worrying now? Atwood’s prime merit seems to lie not in what she has to say, but rather in how she says it. She is a persuasive, thorough writer, and certainly-m important aspect of the Canadian sceiisrio today. Her book will serve to unify Canadians and make more comprehensible obr vastness and confusion (primarily, of’ course, due to geographical factors) if only in terms of rallying us behind a bleak central theme. If used for its original purpose as teaching guide, ‘Survival’ will surely be excellent for acquainting us with contemporary Canadian writers (prose and poetry) and for bringing-ourselves closer to them,‘and therefore to ourselves. The resource section at, the end of the book and’ the book listings, especially French Canadian publications now in translation, are most valuable. The former enables us to acquir-e-- information about Canadian art, film,. music, records, publishers and live speakers. With this guide we have no excuse for ignorance about our own culture nor for misunderstanding as to what is “Canadian”. --susan

It’s’ always nice and refreshing to read a newspaper columnist who has something to say. There is a definite lack of hard hitting journalists in Ontario today. Most are sitting on their comfortable behinds typing out some conservative junk offering no new insight on old problemi, or even attempting to make us laugh at things that go on around us that are--funny. Lucky for some-mostly readers of the Vancouver Sun-Allen Fotheringham, the master of muckraking and tickler of stuffed shirts is not yet in Ihe hoosegow but is still allowed to pound out ,column inch after column inch of the best journalism east of the Strait of Georgia and probably west ‘loo. Seldom is this staunch province blessed with new writing. The-Pierre Berton, Peter Gzowski, Phil Sykes, Peter C. Newman, Charles Templeton, Robert Fulford ingroup is so well establishtid in uppers Ontar-ir-iar-io-o. But alas thanks to the big silver bird, and airports one is able to acquire for a very modest price Collected and Bound by Fotheringham. It’s downright amazing the books were allowed this side of. the continental divide but some were. It should be noted however that the backward, bumbling bookstore 0-n campus doesn’t have it in stock. ’ So what is it and why is it so good. Well it’s just a collected and bound bunch of columns from the Vancouver Sun which are both informative -and entertaining. It .was Fotheringham who revealed that Premier Bennett’s fly was open at the 1969 opening of parliament. It was Fotheringham who revealed that flying fhil Gaglardi had a permanent suite in the Hotel Vancouver, and was charged (when Minister of Roads and Highways) with having 32 speeding convictions and licence suspensions. Fotheringham, on the lighter side also gives readers the inside scene qn “topless, bottomless and brain&s” young ladies. Donna Deschane for example “is an attractive girl who has learned what it is like to have a roomful of businessmen in thrall over lunch. Donna says she now loves to shock. It was Donna, in the news item a few weeks back, who suddenly gave in to the taunts of her companions at the Bayshore Inn, whipped off her clothes, ran out and jumped in the pool. “When I got back, the assistant manager was standing there with my boots in his hand. ‘Would you please not leave your boots in the lobby again.’ pe said. We broke up.” :_ sample of Well that’s just a Fotheringham’s Collected and Bound. There is .more on women, Bobby Orr, fashions and &en Toronto.

Four in a row?

Grappler% determ-ined to stay on sop by Bruce

In tournaments so far this year _ the Warriors wrestling team has picked off a first at the Ryerson Invitational and over the weekend placed second to the Europa Wrestling Club of Toronto at the Queen’s invitational. By all prospects the club could be heading for their fourth OUAA championship in a row. . --. Much to the disappointment of the wrestlers the powerful Western squad wasn’t present. Before Christmas the purple gang downed the Warrriors 25-15 with warriors only winning two matches and one default. The grapplers lineup this year includes first year student Frank Ogrady in the 118 pound class. So far this year Frank has shown a lot of promise. Jim Skelly who wrestled in this class last year had to move to the 126 lb level due to the slight gain in weight. Jim placed second in last years championships and so far this year has had seconds in the Ryerson and Queen’s meets. His full record so far this season is 2 pins, five decisions, one tie and two losses. Holding down the 134 pound weight class once again is Ontario champ Tim Wenzel. Tim is one of the mainstays of the team recently being elected captain. His record to date is five pins, one decision, a tie and three losses. The loss of Canadian champ and Olympic star Pat Bolger has not been felt with the acquisition of Egon Beiler an Olympian himself. Egon gained his berth on the Munich squad by defeating Canadian champ and former Warrior John Barry. Egon is just out of high school and has many good years ahead. So far he has gone undefeated and was chosen the most valuable wrestler at the Ryerson meet. ’ Jim Lotimer has moved down from his post at 1581ast year to 150. The coach has been quite pleased with his performance this season and hopes that Jim can hold the fort as Waterloo won this weight division last year with Don Spink who has gone up to the 158 class. This additional weight has not hindered Don as he has been coming up with superb wins. He was first at Queen’s and gained a second at Ryerson. Three wrestlers are still fighting for the 167 lb postion on the team

Draper

including last years Ontario champ Fred Scheels. Fred has just returned from an eight month work term-and conditioning is still a factor. Fred was ‘also elected assistant captain along with Don Spink. The other wrestlers who are trying for the spot are AI Kalbfeisch and Rainer Fischer, the latter being quite prominent in judo. Tom Gutoski has the heavy task of following in the <foot steps of George Saunders who represented Canada in the Olympics. Tom, presently on a work term in Guelph teaching, placed third at Ryerson and conditioning will be the main factor that determines how well he does. The heavy weight bosition is also undecided. The two wrestlers in question are returnees Scott Marshall and Gary Macdonald. Coach Kurt Boese has high hopes for the Warriors this year and believes his men will be in top condition for the OUAA’s to go at Windsor. Kurt was the Canadian Olympic wrestling team coach and with his experience along with his assistant, George Saunders will be able to form the squad into a strong unit. If the Warriors do have one short coming it is their lack of depth. Depth is important for it will make the top wrestlers work harder. Of course most will be working exceptionally hard over the next months, even after the OUAA’s and the CIAU’s for Canada is going to send a strong team to the World Student Games to be held in Moscow in August. \

The volleyball Warriors are still top contenders for the OUAA playoffs after a successful tournament in Guelph Sunday. They won seven of IO games and hold a two-game lead over Western and four over Guelph.

The . Warriors defeated teams from Brock and McMaster twice each and split with Western, Lutheran and Guelph. The tournament was the third of four being held to decide who will represent the division in the playoffs. Barring acident or injury, Waterloo should show well at the OUAA finals January 27, likely to be played at Queen’s. The Warriors were plagued Sunday with a problem carried over from last term-having to play come-from-behind ball. They were defeated by their own mistakes. in a close match with Western and then lost to Lutheran in a game where there was some absolutely amazing refereeing . The fatigue of a long day and a hot gym helped to blunt Waterloo’s normally keen edge in the’ final game, notwithstanding Guelph’s consistent play. Waterloo was down 14-8 but went on a blazing streak to catch Guelph at 14-14. Then they lost two quick points-and the game-on two simple mistakes. Such is volleyball, a game of psych-out. If you can psych out the other team and go over or around or through them, you have a winner.

Curlers Ilose The Brock University Curling Team won its own Invitational Bonspiel last weekend in St. Catherines, winning three straight games in a show of curling proficiency and excellence. The Brock rink, skipped by /Steve Thomas, are the reigning OUAA champions -in good shape to retain last year’s title. Brock placed well ahead of runner-up Queen’s and ‘Laurentian and Lutheran. The two University of Waterloo varsity. teams ran into stiff competition, both completing the day with l-2 win-loss records. With the first rink, skipped by Terry Olaskey , placing seventh and the Number 2 rink, skipped by Ron French, in ninth position, the University of Waterloo teams had a chance to experience the excellent competition which they will be facing in Guelph on february 2 “and 3 in the OUAA Western finals. The varsity team curled well,, playing games that were only decided by the last rock in each case. They promise to do well in the University of “oronto Invitational on january 20 that will see most of the rnaji I’ schools in Southern Ontario repaaesented.

Warriors dump Grvbhons -

The Guelph Gryphons rolled into town Tuesday night for a meet against the Warriors but found they were up against a strong uniwat swim squad this year. Even though the Warriors were short handed, lacking five of their first string, and won 68-45, the Gryphons are expected to be stronger in the end. As their coach Bob Stallman said, “it’s the championships that count.” The home team was led by diver Lester Newby who won both the one and three’ metre boards and Eric Robinson who took both the 200 yard backstroke in an excellent 2: 11.9 and the 200 yard individual medley in 2:15.4. Ian Taylor also posted good times in the 280 and 500 yard freestyle events. His winning times were 1:55.1 and 5:21.8 respectively . Rolfe McEwan came in fourth in the 200 and second in the 500 to Taylor. McEwan also place second in the 1000 yard freestyle. Other first place finishers ~were posted by captain George Roy in the 200 butterfly, 2: 14.0 with Richard Knaggs second in 2:27.9 Sprinter Bruce Henry won the 50 freestyle in 23.6 but could only manage a third place finish over the 100 yard distance. In the opening event of the meet, the 400 yard medley. relay, the team of Jim Low, Doug Munn, George Roy- and Bruce Murray won in a time of 4 :06.6.

It was one of those insane nights for the three metre competition with slips and misses occurring at every approach, throwing judges, competitors and spectators alike into stiches of laughter and ‘behind the score card snickers.’ On Friday night at 7pm Queen’s university will be here but Geneseo State, as was advertised, won’t be in due to an administrative foul up. Then on Saturday the men will take on their toughest home meet competition this year when Buffiaio State and Kent State are here for a double dual meet at 2 pm.

On Saturday past, the Waterloo ice palace was treated to a near full capacity crowd for the fir& time in two years. The occassion was an encounter between the supposedly slick toronto blues and the’ constantly improving Waterloo warriors. Toronto won the encounter 5-3. ’ The outcome was always in doubt as both teams were treated to occassional point blank shots, empty nets and two on one rushes. However, the superb goaltending \ of toronto’s Gary lnnes and warrior Jake Dupuis, kept the s&e from rising into dbuble figures. Dupuis was worth the price of admission alone as he stopped breakaways, stopped Toronto powerplays, and made up for an occassionally struggling. warrior defence. Dupuis misjudged only one goal and that was a well placed slapshot that found the net, in the middle of the third period.

The basketball athenas started the second term off with a busy weekend.They travelled to Toronto for an exhibition game against the University of Toronto. The tall toronto team outplayed our girls for a 51-36 victory. The athenas’ all-star guard, Loretta McKenzie, suffered a severe ankle sprain. The loss of the game didn’t mean as much to the team as did the loss of the Yorkshire pudding kid. The Waterloo crew travelled to Hamilton, Saturday, for a tournament with city teams from Ottawa, Tonawanda, New and Hamilton. The York, athenas met the hamilton ‘team in their first- encounter and came out on top with a 49-35 victory. Ttie team played well .as a team with the scoring being spread Evenly among the members. Sherry ‘Bandy and Yonna Luypaert were top scorers with 10 points each. While Judy Ha!aiko played an excellent game on the boards. Top scorers for hamilton were Lynn W/right and Nancy Biannase. In the final game nine afhenas met up with a strong team from Ottawa. Waterloo started out strong but, as a result of a number of fouls, Ottawa took over the,lead which they never gave up. Midway through the second half, fouls and injuries had reduced the athena bench strength to one. Despite the fouls, there were a number of bright spots. Judy Halaiko played her best game of the year as she came up with 13 points and numerous rebounds. The rookies, who were all pressed into action, made a good showing while gaining some valuable playing experience. Final score 64-50 for. Ottawa. Tuesday night the athenas travelled to London to meet western, the number one team. After having dropped the last match between-e pair by only one, the athenas felt they were ready to take western even without Loretta. They started off playing strong defence, making western work ‘for every point but they were not able to counter with a strong offensive attack. By half time Waterloo had tacked up a grand total of 11 points. This was to be the story of the game; improved defence but poor shooting. Athenas only managed 30 ‘points while western crept up to 51 for a game total.

First and third place remained up for grabs right until the freestyle relay, the final event, was completed at this year’s International Invitational held last friday and Saturday-at the uniwat pool. Michigan State, the defending champions, again took the International trophy, the third time in four years. Clarion State, however, ended in second place just two points behind. The university of Waterloo athenas and the Olympians from the university of Cincinnati had a battle of their own going for third spot and it too wasn’t decided until the final event of the meet. The American foursome took it with Waterloo right behind in second place. The final standings read michigan state 295, clarion state, 293, Cincinnati, 239, Waterloo, 235, ball state, 123, and the next closest Canadian school was toronto in sixth spot with only 93 points. In all 15 teams were in the competition. Five of fifteen meet records fell, all to american women, but the amazing athenas broke six of the seven OWIAA records that fell plus re-writing the team record book ’ ten times. ’ Cincinnati’s swimmers, which included two Olympic competitors, dominated the winning circle taking seven individual events and both the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. Jocolyn Hirsty won the 50 yard freestyle in 25.7 seconds equaling the meet record and took the 100 yard freestyle in 56.5 second. Jocolyn was just ahead of toronto’s Merrily Stratten and teammate Heidi Lipe by one and two tenths of a second respectively . Breaststroker Debbie Kibler was another double winner for cincinnati. Debbie in a class of her own over both the’ 100 and 200 yard distances, took the shorter race in 1:118, 2.1 seconds ahead of Clarion’s Marg Horning, while she finished in an amazing 2:35.7 to establish a new meet record in the 200. Olympic swimmer Heidi Lipe took both the 200 and 400 yard freestyle events, in 1:59.8 and 4: 16.9 respectively. The latter mark was a new meet and pool record. Merrily Stratten, a member of Canada’s Olympic squad was a distant second in the 400, almost ten seconds behind, i while Waterloo’s Maida Murray placed third. Maida lead the amazing athenas to the best ever showing by a Canadian team, and the first gold medal taken by a Waterloo swimmer at the International in four years of trying. Besides pulling off a come-from-behind win in the 200 yard individual medley she also picked up two bronze medals in the 100 butterfly and the

Niag’ara Stomps Out’ If you were one of the fans who witnessed the exhibition put on by the niagara university freshmen team when they graced the people’s paladium with their presence last thursday, you were probably as stunned as I was by their childish behaviour. How this team and coach could consider especially, themselves to be sportsmen is hard to see. There is no excuse at all for a team that would walk off the court three quarters of the way through a game/and not return to finish it. The niagara coach had been assessed one technical foul already in the -game which the warriors were leading 53-37 when it was forfeited. This didn’t seem to deter him though, as he wildly protested a call .by one of the officials by walking onto the court. All through the first period the niagara squad was obviously dismayed by the many turnovers that they were being whistled down for, most of them travelling. It was easy to see’that a few calls by the referees were questionable, but the large majority were valid. The officials did the best they could. The warriors definitely outplayed the eaglettes in the first half but just couldn’t finish off their plays offensively, or they would have been well out of reach at the, break. From the opening jump they dominated the play, but they bounced the ball around the rim for two and a half minutes before they could sink one to put the fans back in their seats. After they got started, the Waterloo team led by around ten points up to the half which ended 37-26. Warriorsforged into a good solid lead of 20 points early in the second period, but were only 15 ahead when the fireworks broke out with ten and a half minutes to play. The niagara coach went right after the referee in Leo Durocher style, telling him what he thought of the call. During his lecture which he delivered from very close, range, about half an inch away from the referee he was charged with two additional technicals, and thrown out of the game. At this point he turned to his players and motioned them room, from which the dressing they never returned. _ ’ Obviously the niagara team has much to learn about the sport of basketball. Uncounted teams have had much worse experiences with much more poorly officiated game,s. Naturally they did question some of the calls, even to the point of ejection, but they did stick it out to the very last and did their best to finish the game.

A week ago Saturday, only two days after the niagara partial game, ther’warriors were again in action, this time in league play against the western mustangs who they trounced 86-64. The first half was mostly spotty play. The warriors managed to assume control with an 11 point lead at the half, 40-29. Mike Moser was getting back into his old form after his foot injury as he showed the way for the waterloo squad with 12 points in that half. Guard ‘Ed Talaj added 6 more to the warrior total. For western Raoul Kreek was tops with 6 points. In the second half the warriors easily extended their lead, although they did blow a few easy plays and were sometimes thwarted by the western defence. The only thing that kept the western team from being blown off the map -altogether was the hot shooting of Gary Curgin who got most of his 13 points, which was the high total for the stangs, in the latter half. Moser finished with 26 points, 10 of them on foul shots, while Tom Kieswetter added 10 more of the warriors’ 86 points.

authoritative and determined as they set up the predesigned plays. The loose man on the inside, which was usually Moser, was regularly found and fed the ball for an easy shot. Steve Ignatavicious was instrumental in this task as he showed the fans some great passes to set up his teammates. Lutheran finally got a few points before the end of the first half which finished with the score 49-31 in favor of the warriors. In that period Mike Moser led the warriors with 18 points while Rod Dean out did him scoring 19 for the hawks. For the first part of the second half lutheran scored at an even pace with the home team. The warriors didn’t have any opportunities to get the hawks running. They continued to score bursts of points as they did in the first half. As time passed, the freely substituting style of the warriors, who used all their players throughout, the game, wore down the ,hawks. Lutheran had only two substitutes of the original five players as compared to the seven subs used by Waterloo. Once past this stage the hawks rarely scored unless Dean scored. The-warriors pulled away *to the final score of 105-72. Dean scored over half the lutheran points netting 38 points for the night. Most of these came on jump shots that were in the ZO+ feet range. Rick Thompson came through with 10 points for the hawks before he fouled out late in the game. Mike Moser was simply outstanding for the warriors as he made no mistake on the short jump shots at -which he excells.

kind of call was that.

Right from the start the warriors showed their guests that they were out for blood by scoring 8 unanswered points to start the game. Great defence has not always been ‘the warriors motto but in the first quarter they were extremely stingy with the points that they allowed. Lutheran was able to tally only 6 points in the first ten minutes of action, a real tribute to the warrior defence. The warriors offence was clicking. The guards were

He pumped in 25 more points in the second half to bring his one game total to 43 points which bettered ex-warrior Jaan Laaniste’s previous record for a warrior in a single game by 1. On his way to this feat he demolished another. record, this was an OUAA mark. The old record for the most field goals scored in a single game was 16 which was shared by several players. Moser surpassed that total as he put the ball through the hoop 19 times from the court.

Other warriors in double figures were Steve Ignatavicious with 11, TomKKieswetter with 12 and Paul Bilewicz who got 10. All the warriors played well and contributed to the win. ‘This win brings the warriors’ league record to 3 wins and 0 losses, tops ‘in the league. Over the weekend the b-ballers have a league game in mcmaster on sunday afternoon at two o’clock. Next Wednesday they play another away game, this time at Guelph against the gryphons at 8:15 in the pm.

Last week the sixth annual Waterloo invitational. athena volleyball tournament was held. Many of Canada’s top rated teams were present. Namely, western, dalhousie, and toronto. Twelve teams competed for the prestigious title. Western rose victorious over the challenging team from the university of toronto in the final. These two teams performed at an impres’sive level of volleyball skill i and tactics. The athenas were tied for fourth at the end of match play. Waterloo was eliminated from the semi finals when a point count was taken. Dalhousie and mcmaster were still tied. A match between these teams, for the right to enter the semi final, was won by dalhousie. A rematch between the athenas and western was held on tuesday. The athenas had a hard time pulling things together. They played far below their usual calibre of ball. So far below, the skills of volleyball were not a part of their repertoire. It could have __ been that they were still low from Saturday’s letdown. In order to retain second place in the league, the athenai should pull up their pants and work together. It sees that they are lacking that pizazz needed to win in their league. Next week, hopefully the athenas’ volleyballers will show a little more gut in their match with guelph. Something has to change. Their performance on the western court is an indication that a change is needed. -kwas

In 1930 the number had been reduced to 1.5 million. By the end of 1972 it had been reduced to less than 350,000.

Whale oil came to be used as ingredient in women’s a basic cosmetics-as well as lubricating the machines created by twentieth century technology. But the whales, the great Iordsof the ocean and possibly man’s superior in intelligence, had no use for technology in their evolution and were therefore helpless in the face of man’s terrible onslaught.

sinking. And finally they were confronted with the modern factory ship which permits the whaler to process his catch on board, so as to cut down dependency on shore stations, and thereby allows a greater time at the hunt. Canada’s decision to ban whaling on her East Coast because of declining whale stocks comes as a much needed respite to the seriously threatened mammals and as a relief to the scientists, concerned citizens and Farley Mowats of this world. On December 21, 1972, Canada’s environment minister, Jack Davis,announced the termination of East Coast whaling-an action -which 7har she blows! spells closure for three Canadian Come on, lads, let’s get ‘em! \ whaling plants.

reaching sustainable yields, at which time the ban might be lifted and whaling resumed. -But the chances that the whale population will reach healthy levels in one or two decades are slight indeedconsidering the average gestation period of a whale is one year, and that once born, the baby whale nurses for an additional six months, and in some species up to two years. Add to this the fact Norway, Japan and Russia are continuing to take 39,000 whales from the oceans annually and the chances turn into an impossibility. Canadian-waters have been the scene of whaling for many years. The Basques -used Cape Breton and Newfoundland as bases. for their operations throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as did the British and French. The waters then fell to the flourishing Nantucket industry of the eighteenth century. In the late 1700’s, as a result of the American revolution, a whaling community made a brief appearance at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, composed of American whalers attempting to export their catch into Britain under her colonial preferential rates. But because Britain’s policy discouraged colonial whaling, (for itdetracte,d from her own) the venture was short-lived and eventually was transferred to the shores of Wales. During the 1800’s the waters off Canada’s eastern coast were scoured by

hundreds of whalers from all over the world. The result was the near extinction of the Blues, Rights, Fins, Sperm and Humpbacks. But the whalers were not easily discouraged and they turned to the waters of the Antarctic in search of a fresh supply. Whaling was revived temporarily in -Canadian waters during the 1920’s but because of a slow replenishment of stock, it collapsed once more in 1930. The advent of the second world war gave the whales a brief respite, as man halted his oceanic hunt to wage war on his own kind. But as Mowat points out in his “Whale for the Killing”, the war also took its share of whales-for many thousands undoubtedly perished by anti-submarine torpedbes through cases of mistaken identity. The Norwegians re-established commercial whaling off the East Coast in 1945 and operated from bases in Williamsport and Hawkes Harbour, Newfoundland, until the collapse of the whale stock six years later. Nor were the remaining whales to be left in peace. For once the Norwegians departed, the whales around the U.S. Navy base at Argentia became targets for the Navy’s anti-submarine training program. The number of whales which lost their lives “in the name of democracy” is beyond conjecture. The whales’ return to Nova Scotian waters in 1960 was noted-eagerly by the Karl Karlsen Company, a sealing, scalloping and fishing operation

established at Blandford by Mr. Karlsen, a Norwegian immigrant, in the late 1940’s. ‘We didn’t make any special studies to find out about the quantity of whales in N.S. waters,” Mr. Karlsen stated in 1962. “Our ships knew there were some from sighting them on trips around the eastern seacoast.” ,And the Nova Scotian government, in constant readiness to welcome new industries-regardless of their outcome-welcomed the possibilities of whaling, with open arms. “Other nations are getting out of said one Nova Scotia whaling,” “but we think it has fisheries official, tremendous possibilities in Nova Besides being a lucrative Scot ia.” source for oil for industrial purposes, the provincial government saw in whales a potential ’ market for pet, poultry and mink feed, as well as in human consumption. Thus in April 1962, the Karl Kailsen Company, in co-operation with the provincial government, began whaling operations on a experimental basis. By 1964 the-experiment had proven itself and the Blandford plant profitable, expanded to include whaling on a permanent basis. At the same time, that greatest of opportunists, ’ Joey Canadian was fostering the reSmallwood, emergence of whaling in Newfoundland Envisioning an island-wide waters. mink ranch industry, Smallwood encouraged the kjlling of potheads, smalltoothed whales, for feed. By 1965, more than 50,000 of the species had been slaughtered. The second stage of’the Newfoundland operations opened with Smallwood offering generous subsidies to foreign whalers stationed in his province. Eager acceptance of the offer resulted in the re-opening of the Williamsport factory by the Japanese, and the enlargement of the Dildo plant by a combination of Japanese and Norwegian interests. The number of whales taken by these _three plants over the 1964-71 span is colossal. The Blandford plant can boast 1,458 Fins, 654 Seis, 64 Sperm and a number of Minks and Humpbackswhile the two Newfoundland plants racked up a fatal of 2,114 Fins along with several hundred Seis, Sperm and \t Minkes. . The significance of’ these figures becomes apparent when they are compared with the numbers of Fins remaining in the world’s -oceans. Scientists say only 3,000 Fins are left in the North Atlantic, and of this number the 1972 quota of 360 must be subtracted. In terms of an ocean-wide population, the Fins are estimated to number less than 60,000. When the whaling ban was announced, Mr. Karlsen was quoted in the Halifax daily-newspapers as saying the government’s announcement came as a shock. He said he had agreed with a catch limit of 53 Fin whales and 70 Sei whales and also that there should be no quota on sperm whales. “I advised the minister that these quotas would permit the company to continue an economic operation and were very anxious to that we have scientists carry out the necessary research in order to enable them to set annual quotas commensurate with the sustainable yield.?’ Although South Shore PC member of parliament Lloyd Grouse also criticized the total whaling ban on the grounds it social was caused by “uninformed scientists have in fact been pressure”, studying the whales population in this area for several years. Will Canada’s ban be effective in its attemptto replenish the declining whale stocks? Unlike that of the US. Food and Drug Administration which banned whaling in 1970, along with the _ importation of whale” products, the Canadian ban is not inclusive.

John Mullally said the subject of whale imports does not fall under the department of fisheries’ jurisdiction, but under that of the department of trade and commerce. He did not know, whether that department was considering such a ban for Canada. Until Canada does ban the importation of whale products she will contine to support the slaughter, albeit indirectly. Nor does the ban extend to whaling on Canada’s West Coast. Although no whaling operations have been carried on in Canada’s Pacific area since 1968 (because of a scarcity of whales), Mr. Mullally ,admitted if the whales were to make a comeback, operations would be resumed. Hopefully the ban will be more ef-’ fective than the International Whaling Commission, established in1946, has been. This body, comprised of 17 whaling countries, was set up ostensibly to protect the threatened species and to regulate the hunt-but in fact it has been little more than a front for whalers. The quotas set by the commission on whale species have been higher than stocks could stand; the regulations forbidding the killing of Blue Whales, Humpbacks and all species of the Right Whales came too late-at a time when they were threatened with biological extinction. In other words, the whaling companies were guaranteed profits as long as there were sufficient whales to prove economically feasible. Nor can the commission always enforce its regulations. Many so-called flying under flags of pirate ships, scour the oceans for convenience, whales, ignoring both the regulations which set quotas and those which protect certain species. It is estimated that more than 2,000 whales are taken annually in this manner. Then there is the case heard by Nova Scotia’s courts last month. The Karlsen Company was ch,arged on six counts of takina undersized whales durino the first five weeks of the 1972 season. By the Whaling Convention Act the company was liable to a fine of up to $10,000. But the courts, in passing judgement on the first two cases, ruled in favour of the company, finding that there was “no intent:’ involved in the undersized Catches(This is Comparable to a COufi ruling that the driver who passed through a red tight at 60 m.p.h. is not guilty because, the action was not intended .) Moreover, the Act stipulates that to measure the catch, a tape, attached to a pole stuck into the wharf at the whale’s head, be stretched the length of the whale’s body. The wharf at Blandford,however, is made of concrete, precluding the possibility of driving al pole into it. It did not matter that the whales were at; least five feet under the legal size. What mattered in the courts was the missing pole. Unless mans nature undergoes a drastic change during the next four years, the remaining eight species of the great whales will be virtually’ eXtinct. But business is business and and as long as whaling profit is profhcontinues to prove economically viable, the hunt will continue. Pressure must be put on those nations which have not yet declared a moratorium on whaling operations. And it must be done NOW. They lived, these whales, without offense to people, in in fan tile simplicity, reveling in their own fountainsi while the crimson ball of the sun danced in a torrent of rays -Yevtushenko -4th estate, (CUP)

Then there was the one about the chevron staffer who, upon entering the sauna bath, noticed a guy fondling tatered and soggy copies of both the gazette and the chevron; with a look of abject contempt upon his face the fellow beamed out: “oh look, we’re doubly blessed today”; ah yes, sauna bath sarcasms aside, there are certainly a number of criticisms that can be made of the student-run chevron-and perhaps even a few small compliments that might be paid; traditionally, even on this most recent and ivey-less campus, these types of feelings and opinions were expressed regularly, vehemently, repeatedly if necessary, through the simple act of composing a letter to the editor; in those days, even if peoplefound it utterly impossible to identify with the editorial policy or even the slant from which the news stories were written, they managed to maintain belief in the fact that the feedback page was in effect their.own, even if there was the possiblity of editorial responses after the letter; necessarily these people believed that it was worth writing the letters, that an opinion expressed publicly was worth morethan one held. inside or shared around a small circle of friends, that the attempt to encourage public debate on issues concerning the entire community was worth more than passively waiting for the events to unfold around them; times have obviously changed but the chevron is still, however belatedly, attempting to communicate with its community-but if this attempt is to go beyond its current levels, if the paper is to improve its service to the community, the staff of needs must hear what you think of their endeavours; why not resurrect an old tradition-write us-perhaps together we can create some understanding; that said we were: john keyes, frank goldspink our fieldworker whose energies were greatly appreciated, ken lalonde, gord moore, Susan johnson, liz willick, greg donaldson, dudley paul, kati middleton, david cubberley, tony difranco, ron colpitts, paul steuwe, melvin rotman, jan narveson, Susan gabel, george kaufman, Chris birnie, sandy ingham, deanna kaufman, kim moritsugu, while this week’s wonderful wackey sports .depar-tment consisted of your regulars like pat reid, wheels from the local court, kwas and fuzz also on the court, dunker surveying the spiking john cushing in another racket, smitty drowning, brute draper on the mats, bob mckillop, sally kemp and george neeland who has been trying to remain sane, peter hopkins, sue murphy and then there are your irregular-movements, but that’s another story; photogs were cappun dick “decent”” m”gill, john robertson, godfrey lee, karl doenwald, len greener, chuck “turkey”” stoody, alain pratte; omnipresent if slightly cosmic graphists were tom ’ mcdonald, don ballanger and tony jenkins and thats it for this round, so gudnite.
