One of the last turbulences in the somewhat stormy history of the Union of Arts Societies was resolved in the Waterloo County Courthoyse last week. Phil Benevoy was found guilty of three counts of theft, and one of obtaining money through false pretences, with sentence to be passed on march 2.

Benevoy, found gu.ilty Ending a complex legal procedure lasting close to a year, the trial of Philip Benevoy, former president of the defunct UW Arts Society, came to an end last thursday. Benevoy stood convicted on three counts of theft by fraudulently converting funds to his own use and one of obtaining money under false pretenses. Benevoy became president of the Arts Society in the spring of 1971. At this time, he appointed Kent Webster and Michael Krepakevich as interim secretary and treasurer pending the fall election, when two permanent officers would be elected. The three, Benevoy, Webster, and Krepakevich were also appointed signing officers on the Sofiety’s bank account. Webster and Krepakevich returned home after the end of the spring term and Benevoy was left to manage affairs over the summer, something which wouldn’t take too much activity since few Arts students are on campus at that time. Still, at the end of april, Webster received a letter from Benevoy containing four blank cheques and an explanation that these were to cover Society expenses, specifically, stationary and bills from the chevron, and the

psychology department. The amount that Benevoy claimed to need at that time was no more than $100. Webster signed the cheques and returned them to Benevoy. On may 26, Benevoy filled in the first cheque to the amount of $375 and deposited all but $30 of it into his account. Again, on june 4, Benevoy filled in another cheque for $90 and deposited it in his account. Again in September, Benevoy approached Michael Krepakevich for more funds, ostensibly for the use of the Arts Society. Upon receiving a signed blank cheque, Benevoy completed it to the amount of $240 payable to himself, and deposited it into his account. According to Benevoy, this money was to be his wages for the summer’s work. But as Kent indicated in Webster his testimony, there were no paid positions in the society. Another aspect of the case involved the Philosophy Club and its president, Melanie Beaumont. Benevoy contacted her in april, 1971 and demanded the return to the Arts Society of $362.99, the unused ‘portion of the club’s budget. After some delay in organizing signing officers, Beaumont was told by Benevoy

that he had put the required amount into the Society’s funds from his own pocket. Beaumont then made the cheque payable to Benevoy and he deposited the money into his account. Asked many times for an account of transactions during the period the other Arts Society executives were not around, Benevoy was able to stave off inquiries ; apparently, for several months no books were kept during Benevoy’s tenure as Society president. After an investigation conducted by campus security, Benevoy was found to have $1,006.36 of the Society’s money in his account which hadn’t been used for Society business. This and the rest of the testimony led to his conviction on the three charges of theft by conversion. This, however, did not ‘bring matters to a close. To David Chapley and Eric Mackie, newly elected treasurer and vicepresident, Benevoy submitted a claim of $345.15 for expenditures which he alleged to have made over the summer. After, checking the receipts, Mackie and Chapley agreed to give Benevoy $103.15, the sum which they figured covered legitimate cheques. Upon contacting the -businesses involved in Benevoy’s “transactions”, it was found that the actual sum spent amounted to $4.70, leaving the total obtained by submitting false receipts at $98.45. For this Benevoy was convicted of obtaining money under false pretences. Benevoy will wait until march 2 for sentencing. As for the defunct Arts Society, a restitution order submitted to the court by UW’s attorney returns to them $1,006, held until now in Benevoy’s account. ---dudley

many OCA’s TORONTO (CUP&More than 100 Ontario College of Art COCA) students and teachers moved into new quarters in an old knitting mill february 15. They have established a new school, called “Z”, in protest against the firing of 11 instructors, cuts in the workloads of 11 more, the re-introduction of traditional art school activities (such as first year drawing classes), and basic disagreement as to the role of an art “school”. The unrest began more than a year ago when Roy Ascott was hired as college president with instructions from the governing council to update OCA’s traditional approach. Many people feel he overdid it. Last spring, he was fired because of his massive program changes and a parallel budget deficit caused, to some extent, by OCA‘s declining enrollment. The students and teachers at Z want to carry on Ascott’s ideas which stress concepts, not skills. Tom Hodgson, one of the chief organizers of Z, adapts Ascott’s approach to one of apprenticeships : he feels Z must orient the student to the situation, outside the college through interaction with the community. Students will work in business apprenticeships to give them practical training‘ and to avoid buying expensive equipment. The students will receive instruction from about 25 teachers from York, University of Toronto, OCA, and some local community colleges. Hodgson, an, OCA instructor, announced he would resign if the governing council went through with its plans to cut back its $58,666 budget deficit by cutting back on the 22 instructors, many f whom Ascott had brought in. IAl en the council went ahead, Hodgson, along with two other instructors and a handful of students, prepared a proposal for a “Future Z”. Two weeks ago plans came together for Z. About 270 students, just over a quarter of the college enrolment, signed a statement saying they planned to withdraw from OCA the situation next year “unless changes.” The students demanded they be consulted about staff and curriculum alterations. The new college is being rented until May 31, and former OCA vicepresident Monte Kwinter has persuaded his new employers to provide floor space for student art shows. Kwinter was fired at the same time as Ascott. But, in spite of what seems to be an initial enthusiasm for Z, one OCA student commented february 15, “Z will never empty OCA”.

cepted, but the fee scales ‘are somewhat higher. Fees for fulltime co-op parents range from $50 per month for students to $60 per month for faculty and off-campus people. Pariser describes the schidule at the Klemmer Co-operative as “a flexible one with more attention to individual needs than group activity “. Each week a field trip to a place of interest for the two to fiveyear olds is planned. The little people,work with the staff, helping with; lunch and cleaning up. “They’re not being taken care of” Coleman said, “We’re all there to help each other. And the volunteers (about 30 of them) are not just people who help keep fees down and save money on hiring. They’re really part of the staff.” Pariser put it this way: “We operate on mutual respect. He’s not just a cute little kid-he’s a person. The children are really important to us.” Parent and volunteer meetings are held regularly to decide on policy, deal with staff problems; difficulties with specific children and for continuing discussion on the evolution of an alternative theory of child raising. As a parent, Coleman feels “it’s not like farming the children out to other people to take care of them...Parents do control, organize and develop thee philosophy, and they are involved in day-today operations with the kids.” “Because we are in a farm house now,” he added “it’s like a home with kitchens and hallways and cupboards to hide in and shelves to climb on.” To break even financially, the centre needs at least 22 full time children. At capacity they could accomodate 30, including some part time care. They need donations of cutlery, pots and pans, stove elements or a whole stove, toys and people-time. If you have children (or don’t, but would like to spend time with some) and are interested in unstructured, socially creative, cooperative day care, contact the Klemmer people--or go visit them (big and little) at the farm house just up the road.

Comment

Symposium of African peoples The portrayal of the African peoples (called negroes, niggers more euphemistically, or, coloured) is not of their making since their history has been written by those who have made slaves of them. This distortion of the history of African peoples is, in reality, a distortion of world history. Thus all people, black and white, Jew and Gentile, colonizer and colonized, suffer from a history that. has been liberally doctored by white racists who are called historians, theologians, anthropologists, sociologists, etc. The white scholars who have long made themselves creators and guardians of mythologies of African peoples, continue today to masquerade their racist sentiments under the facade of scholarship and knowledge. In this respect, North American scholars have the dubious distinction of making racist myths the basis of their social sciences. It is not at all incorrect to state as a truism that psychological, anthropological and sociological research has been (and still is) undertaken to “prove” that Blacks are an inferior race and incapable of original thought or action. In perpetuating this white lie (and contrary to religious beliefs, all white lies are big ones) white scholars do injustice to their kindred. Can you imagine a Canadian youth, taught from time immemorial that Africans are inferior, finding out at university that he is unable to obtain higher grades or write a better paper than one of these ‘inferior beings’? It is a traumatic experience for many students and of necessity produces psychological imba la rices. One can go a step further and state quite unambiguously that the current disenchantment of white youths is correlated with their knowledge that their glorious history spans centuries of plunder, rape and genocide against all nonwhite peoples with whom they came in contact. The North American settler colonies are living testimonies of mass theft, deception and murder. The Symposium of African Peoples to be held march 2 and 3 at UW is grounded in the belief that an understanding of the contribution of the African to world civuization will be beneficial to the large majority of Canadian peoples who are without knowledge of things and peoples African. It will indeed help them to understand that Africans (all black people) are neither innately inferior nor lacking the ability to manage their own affairs It will show that the GrecoRoman civilization of which the Euro-American is so proud is much more African than European. Hopefully, this knowledge will go a long way in

correcting the racist propaganda concealed by the mantle of scholarship. It may even cause a few white scholars on this campus to begin some serious research on that which they accept as axiomatic; ie. false beliefs, which are the foundation of their own knowledge and which they unwittingly perpetuate. If the Symposium of African Peoples achieves one of the above-mentioned items, it will be an astounding success and gratifying to the members of the two organizations responsible for its realization.

Psych fieldwork program Last year, an article appeared in the Psychology Society Newsletter. The article had to do with the initiation of a Psychology Field Placement committee. At that time, it was agreed that “presently, there seems to be a gap between academic learning and valuable field experience in undergraduate psychology at this university”. Many students have also indicated a desire for more relevant jobs. This year, a group of people have set up a placement program to give psych students practical working experience in the field of psychology to better prepare them for graduate work and employment. In order to fund the program, they are applying for an Opportunity for Youth grant. The number of positions available will depend on the amount awarded by OFY and that contributed by the institutions involved. The types of positions currently under consideration are involved with institutions like the Mental Retardation Centre in Toronto and its summer camp program, the Montreal Children’s Hospital, the Canadian Mental Health Association and the Christopher House Day Nursery. Applications for the program and further information will be available in the Psychology Society office, 383F, humanities. Students applying will be informed at a later date of the openings available. The Psychology Field Placement committee has contacted 107 various institutions. They are hopeful that many jobs will be available for the summer and that the program will be the stepping stone to bigger and better things for psychology students at uw.

(MADISON (CUP-LNS)-Rightwing American students met here early last month to kick off a drive to set up what they call “alternative student newspapers” to combat the “media monopoly of, the New Left” on American campuses. The conference, which resulted in the founding of the Independent Alternative Student Newspapers Association, was told the US Chamber of Commerce would aid the association by providing business contacts for national advertising and fund-raising pkograms. The conference alsdheard from vice-president Spiro Agnew w-ho sent a congratulatory letter and called on the students to “call for a free, fair and responsible student press.”

Chicken giblets I was very relieved to see the reprint from Last Post on the Energy Crisis in the February 16 Chevron. I was beginning to feel that I was becoming paranoid for believing that it could all be a hoax designed to aid the very people most responsible for the indiscriminate consumption which causes the problem. Of course the term paranoid was invented by the establishment. There is no paranoia-it is all actually happening. Isn’t it ? I also have a suggestion about an entirely different subject. If this causes you problems writing a heading for this letter, just try something general yet catchy such as: “Chicken Giblets rise in heavy trading.” Some of the problems with doctors ripping off the Ontario medical insurance Scheme (a very good term) could be eliminated by a rather simplistic system of regressive payments. An arbitrary figure could be set which could vary for different situations. Up to this amount the doctor would be paid at the full regular rate for each service rendered. If $40,000 were the amount, for example, this would allow about $2O,ooO for office expenses and $20,oo0 for a damn good salary. Above this figure the rate could be halved. Micro Economics buffs will note that the doctor is still getting paid at the same rate as all his business expenses have already been covered. When the doctors net income, before taxes, reaches $6O,OOO the rate could again be halved. This figure is not only a convenient figure but happens to be the amount of income at which the income tax rate levels off, at the absurdly low rate of 47 per cent. While hardly a severe blow to inequitable income distribution it is at least not a step backward, which is something to boast about these days. When you consider that this country has one of the world’s most inequitable and regressive tax systems this second reduction can be seen as quite necessary. Soome of the benefits that this system might have are: - It fits the conceptual and operational framework it must work in. That is a “free enterprise” system combined with a self regulating monopoly profession, and a hopelessly corrupt and incompetent government bureaucracy. - It is administratively simple. - Doctors will be encouraged to give more attention to each patient as they will not be so richly rewarded for, quantity. - Doctors actually commiting fraud will have to be much more blatant to make enough to make it worth their while. - The medical profession will be encouraged to admit more doctors to practice. - Doctors will be more encouraged to go to remote areas as the economic dis-incentives will be reduced. I am not sure that this letter will have any affect on anything, but I understand that writing letters to the editor improves digestion, and relieves scalp itch. richard lloyd applied bureaucracy II

Slanderous Steve slapped A few comments are in order concerning Steve Silverstein’s letter in last week’s chevron, lest some misunderstandings remain based on half-truths and inuendos. Let’s start at the beginning and work through his letter. He says “I have never seen the likes of which this election was held and won before in my political What kind of political history.” history has this first-year student had? We were at first impressed that a freshman cared enough to become involved in student politics until we found out that Steve’s campaign was an acknowledged joke and that he himself had very little to contribute. We might mention that in the coop write-up fiasco we pushed that Steve’s letter go out because it would have been unfair to penalize him for the conflict that had arisen between Andy and Shane. Our efforts contributed in no small way to Steve’s receiving half of his total votes. from the coop students. Steve refers to Andy’s late arrival at the envelope stuffing. He fails to mention that Andy was first informed of this unpleasant duty the morning of the stuffing, getting him and some of us out of bed. All these points however fade

into oblivion beside the outright slander that Steve lays upon Tom Duffy (first vice-president of Engineering Society). Steve says that Tom and Andy approached the Chief Returning Officer (CRO) concerning the coop write-ups. In actual fact Engineering Society Reps. met with the CR0 and Andy was not present. Tom’s concern was only that co-op students on work term be given information about all the candidates. At no time did Tom Duffy work on Andy’s Campaign. It’s even sillier to imply that Tom supported us during the campaign in order to get a position on the new executive. A last point about the campaign expenditures. It is true that Andy spent a lot of time, energy and money on his campaign. However the expense was much less than ’ “rumoured from reliable sources” (as Steve says). Steve’s comments are insulting to the student body implying that we the students are so stupid that Andy was able to buy our votes. It’s symptomatic of Steve’s attitude that he would make such a statement. To conclude let us just say again that at first we were impressed first-year student wanted to get into student politics. However, when we actually saw and listened to him, we realized (as did many who heard him in class, on Radio Waterloo and at “Meet the Candidates” meetings) that Steve Silverstein is an incompetent asshole. doug dobney 4 psych ara balaban 4b civil eng

“The possibilities you offer in your Conclusion to your ‘Philosophy’ note have my support. Radio Waterloo can be a cohesive force binding the real university, as opposed to the surface university of buildings and red tape, together, and giving people a sense of their community. It musn’t be used simply as a training school for budding DJs or communications executives....By the way, my first name is Murray.” ...Professor MacQuarrie, October 6, 1970

Universitv

(media

“At the moment Homo Sapiens has a unique opportunity-unique in time, in space, and in comparison with all other species of animals-to move forward from his present stage of evolutionary process to new ways of life that will ensure his enduring welfare, individually as well as collectively. That glorious future is not, however, guaranteed for him; it is only an opportunity which will be seized or rejected, as men themselves determine.” ...Kirtley Mathers Now, what has this to do with radio broadcasting? In light of Canadian broadcasting in general and ‘commercial’ broadcasting in particular, it has no relevance whatsoever. However, as far as a lot of the people involved at Radio Waterloo are concerned, the above statement committment to represents a broadcasting. It should be obvious that in order for people to guarantee themselves their future potentials, their methods of communication must. alter conRadio Waterloo’s sidera bly.. programming is aimed at providing an alternate broadcasting outlet to radio in its present state. This only means that Radio Waterloo can provide an extensive means for people to communicate. In some cases this has already been accomplished. It is exemplified by the amount of in‘formation and ideas that are constantly flowing from the community through Radio Waterloo back to the community, and by the quality of that information. It is further exemplified by the people who constantly interact to voice their information about their world to one another; who act upon that information; who act as liasons among other people who have either similar or conflicting opinions; who

Involving constantly influence other people while simultaneously allowing other people to influence them. We know!... your cultural norms tell you that it’s impossible! Cynicism, at every turn, says that people could not possibly be that way. But a rudimentary glance at our schedule will point out that our

experience

Radio Waterloo is all about getting involved to the degree that you have mastered the rudiments of the various hardware. Once you have mastered the machinery and you are developing techniques, you are starting to communicate while involving others in the p recess. Working with music can involve much more than working with an actual show. People are needed to help compile a library of biographical material, and to fulfil the necessary tasks in keeping up the record library.

Education:.

L t

iberal education has always been viewed within the-context of how it could best serve the prevailing economy. Three distinct’ ruling class attitudes towards education have existed; each corresponding with and varying with structural changes in the economy. Simcoe’s quote expresses the traditional elitist , view of education which corresponded with an agrarian-mercantile economy. This economy supported a ruling class made up of two strata, each of which made its money in similar ways. In agriculture, they made the peasants give them a ’ share of their produce in return for the of tilling the land. In trade, they made it by buying things in one part of the world at a low price and then selling them at a high price in other parts of the world. In Canada, this was the age of the fish and fur trades, and extended into the wheat and timber eras around the middle of the nineteenth century. The traditional ruling class view of education focused almost exclusively on its moral value. The line between education and religion was imperceptible. In this context, education performed minor cultural services for the ruling class by drumming the virtues of hard work and thrift into the children of working people, and developing in the sons and daughters of the bourgeoisie the and affectations of appropriate mannerisms “culture” to distinguish them from their inferiors and to enable them to occupy their leisure time. The second distinct set of ruling class attitudes towards education was associated with-the onset Industrialism ushered in of industrialism. capitalism (or perhaps vice versa). In this situation, the ruling class made its money in a very different way. Instead of simply appropriating the wealth other people had created, the capitalists set about to They assembled all the produce their own. elements of production and set them in motion. They then took the commodity to market to exchange it for what it was worth. There was just one catch-they had to buy the. various factors of production (labour, raw materials, equipment, et cetera) on the market. If they paid what each of these factors of production was worth, there would be little left over after having sold the total combination of factors for what it was worth. In fact, if this happ,ened, the capitalist would secure for himself only the value of the labour he himself actually expended in producing the commodity. However, as it turned out, the capitalists did not have to pay the full value for all the factors of production. They were able to pay labour much less than the value of what it produced. This circumstance arises partly from the motivations with which each party-capital and labourapproaches the market. Their motivations are fundamentally different. The capitalist wishes to buy labour power to put it to use in combination with physical capital with the ultimate aim of making a profit. The worker, on the other hand, wishes to sell his labour power in order that he may live. He is compelled to sell his labour power to the capitalist, whereas the capitalist is not compelled to buy it. It is a perpetual buyer’s market. Consequently, the capitalist will not pay a worker the full value of his labour. With capitalism, the composition of the ruling the landowners and class changed from shi powners of before to the owners of manufacturing enterprises and finance capital. This ascendancy of the industrial bourgeoisie was not achieved without some difficulty. In 1837 Upper Canada, a war almost broke out when the conflict between the landed “family compact” and the rising industrial bourgeoisie took the form of a government. Over the dispute over “responsible” next few years, the question as to which section of class the government would be the ruling responsible to was settled in favour of the industrial bourgeoisie. Their interest were soon asserted in the field of education. Ontario’s first Chief Superintendent of Schools, Egerton Ryerson, spoke on behalf of the new elements of the ruling class and their ’ interest in education, writing in a report that became the basis for the Schools Act of 1846:

fat-isfying

privilege

“The knowledge required for the scientific pursuit of mechanics, agriculture and commerce must needs be provided to an extent corresponding with the demand and exigencies of the country; while to a more limited extent are needed facilities for

acquiring the professions.”

It was apparent to Ryerson “responsible” state had definite the realm of education:

becoming much more sophisticated, learning to put a velvet glove over its mailed fist, and developing allies outside of the ruling class itself. The first group to be co-opted and put to work on behalf of the ruling class, helping them solve their problems with People Getting Ticked Off with Capitalism, were the liberals-the people who, although they had a sincere interest in changing society for the better, could not bring themselves to break openly with the ruling class inasmuch as they had some interests in common with the ruling class. Since they were motivated by a social conscience pricked by other people’s misery, not their own, the liberals did not feel the necessity of challenging the system, but rather were content to try and reform bits and piecesof \ it. American historian Christopher Lasch describes the various ways in which the liberals’ energies were harnessed to help save capitalism:

that the newly responsibilities in

“Thevery end of our being is practicak.. The age in which we lives is likewise eminent/y practica/; and the conditions and interests, the pursuits and duties of our new country, under our new government, are invested with an a/most exclusively ‘practical character. -Scarce/y an individual among us is exempt from the necessityaof ‘living by the sweat of his face’. Every man should, therefore, be educated to practice.” In recognition of Egerton’s foresight they later named a school after him. It is fitting that this school, Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, was one of the first schools in Canada to unabashedly produce graduates on a demand schedule set by industry.

Monopoly

capitalisti

round the turn of the century, industrial capitalism underwent a major shift from its competitive to its monopoly phase. The ruling class became more compact as ownership of the means of production became concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. The mode of production changed with the increased importance of technology and the unit of production becoming larger and more vertically integrated. It is important to examine the reasons for this shift in some detail since the Canadian economy is presently under the tutelage of American monopoly capitalism. There were two major factors which led to the monopolization of capitalism:

Falling

rate of profit

The tendency for the rate of profit to fall was occasioned by: (1) a decrease in prices due to manufacturers’ competition for markets; (2) an increase in the cost of the capital equipment Gjuired to incorporate technological change into the productive process; (3) increasing cost of labour due to a shortage of skilled manpower; (4) the increasing costs of the anarchy of production, the typical business cycle in which each manufacturer produced as much as possible leading to piles of unsold goods and factories and workers sitting idle in a non-profit making state; and (5) the relative saturation of domestice markets, and other factors.

Ticked off with capit&sm

. \

his was becoming increasingly common around the turn of the century. The problems associated with maintaining the rate of profit led to wages being cut and people thrown out of work. Increasing numbers of workers engaged in militant’strikes which had an explicit anti-capitalist orientation. ’ If capitalism was to remain intact, the ruling class would have to develop a more acute class consciousnessit would have to actively maintain and expand capitalism-which is exactly what happened. All in all, it amounted to the ruling class

“Everyone who has studied the history of American reform agrees that the reform tradition underwent a fundamenta/ change around 1900. Some people identify the change with a changing attitude toward government, a new readiness to use government (particularly the federa/ government) as an instrument of popular control. Others assokiate it with an abandonment of the old populistic distrust of large scale institutions, like corporations, and an acceptance of the concentration of wealth and power. Still others define the change as a movement away from the dogma of natural rights towards a relativistic,. environmentalist, and pragmatic view of the world.” This was when the ruling class began to hire people to “rationalize” consumption. The need to stimulate and direct people’s needs into profitable channels gave birth to the advertising industry. The ruling class also discovered that its ever faithful handmaiden, the state, could help it out with its new problems. In the past, the role of the state had been restricted to fighting wars on behalf of their foreign interests and doing small domestic favours such as donating land and money with which to build railroads. (In Canada, the government contributed around $50,000 per mile of track laid). It was now even more helpful to have the state as -an agent since it meant that the ruling class had at its disposal the state’s troops and law courts to break strikes, its legislatures to pass aniilabour laws and, perhaps most importantly of all, its schools. Education became even more important than it had been before sincejt now shouldered the major burden of producing a surplus of skilled workers. The public school systems were- expanded and everyone was expected to go to school. The liberals hailed the government’s recognition of everyone’s inalienable right to develop to the utmost his peculiar ability to be of service to capital.

he schools were called upon not only to produce more human capital in nearly finished form, but also to develop more effective ways of exploiting it. Ceciley Watson, one of Ontario’s chief manpower planning experts and head of the “Educational Planning” division of the Ontario Institute for Studies in .Education, points out in the introduction to her manpower planning study that:

“A great contribution to labour efficiency was made in the United States around the turn of the century by F. W. Tay/or, who realized, by means of his “time and motion” studies, that a ‘functional organization’ of work would great/y improve the

output of a worker by rn; in just a fractional part formed. This led to the ~1s He a/so introduced the Management’ enlisting sc the economy.

“Men have long had somt to which education may eliminate obvious evils tt

on paths which shall not produce these ills, and some idea of the extent to which education may be made an instrument of realizing the better hope of. , men. But- we are doubtless far from realizing the potential efficacy of education as a constructive $gency of improving society.” Dewey’s sincere but naive liberalism was easily turned to the service of monopoly capitalism. Dewey was part of a great current in the academic’ stream responding to the new needs of- monopoly capitalism. Lasch gives some idea of the pervasiveness of the phenomenon:

“The new psychology, the child study movement, the new education, the idea of scientific management, the philosophy of pragmatism, the science of evolution, all confirmed the experience of a century of unimpeded material and social progress, that the turmoil and conflict which had so long troubled the course of history could at last be eliminated by means of a scientific-system of control. The old technique of social discipline, the old agencies of institutionalized violence, would soon be obsolete. The mark of progressive societies was precisely their ability to govern themselves without resort to force.... For the new radica/s, conflict itself, rather than injustice or inequality, was the evil to be eradicated.” During the first half of the century, monopoly capitalism developed a steadily increasingIdependence on education. For the United States, the total annual outlay for human capital (in terms of primary, secondary, and tertiary education expenditures) rose from nine per cent of the annual investment in physical capital in 1900 to 34 per cent in 1956. However, in the late fifties, education rather abruptly became more important to the ruling class. The exact reasons for the upsurge in interest are not clear; however, at least the following seem to have been involved: (1) imperialism became less lucrative, making it necessary to increase the rate of exploitation at home by increasing the value-producing capacity of labour via training; (2) in connection with this situation, capital was granhic

about to enter new technologically-oriented fields and a pool of surplus labour would be needed in order to keep labour costs down: (3) the ruling class ideologues realized the higher education offered a unique if temporary solution to the problem of what to do with all the post-War babies who, if unemployed and left to their own devices, might develop into that old nightmate-People Getting Ticked off with Capitalism.’ Higher education would not only take up their time, it would also give them the illusion of upward mobility along with all the conservatizing tendencies this induces. Since the late fifties, there has emerged among students and others a economists, educators, widespread conscious adoption of the human capital approach to education, euphemistically known as “manpower planning”. Much of the impetus for manpower planning came with the 1958 passage of the U.S. National Defense Education Act. The act greatly increased the funding for certain subject areas which were vital to the national “defense”effort-sciences, mathematics, education, and foreign languages.This was a step towards manpower planning in the sense that a conscious attempt was made to plan the supply of skilled personnel for the defense industry which is a major sector of the A’merican economy.

oncurrently, at the international level, the Committee for Scientific and Technical Personnel was established as a branch of the Organization for European Economic Cooperation. Its task was to “develop policies aimed at increasing investment in education so as to supply the qualified manpower necessary for the implementation of a policy of economic growth”. One of the committee’s first acts was to set up “The Study Group on the Economics of Education” which, in the words of its chairman, Dr. Henning Friis, was “to promote and exchange research and statistical data on the broad subject of the economics of education, that is the relationship between education and economic growth, the educational needs of the 1960’s and the formulation of policies for increasing the supply of scientific, technical and other qualified In Washington, D.C. in October, 1961, manpower.” 13 months after the “study group” was established, manpower planning took a giant stride forward with the holding of the Policy Conference on Economic Growth and Investment in Edumtion. This conference was of international scope and importance. Dr. Friis described it in the following words: “This conference was a major step in the development of policies for relating education to economic requirements. It discussed targets for educational investment during the decade 19611970 and reached general agreement on the necessity for long term planning of educational investment in the OECD member countri.es.” : Interest and activity in the field of manpower planning increased generally at the international level in the early sixties. Organizations such as the International Labour Office, the International Association for Educational and Vocational Information, .and UNESCO, held- conferences, circulated literature, and collected information. In 1963, the first annual US. Department of Labour Manpower Requirements, Resources, Utilization and Training report was transmitted to the Congress. In the same year, an act was passed requiring an annual inventory of manpower requirements, resources, utilization, and training. In Canada, the Technical and Vocational Training Assistance Act (TVTA) was passed in 1960. By 1966-67, there were 185,000 students in Ontario alone who were tn schools and courses approved under the federal-provincial agreements concluded under the TVTA. The increases in federal government expenditures for technical and vocational training were dramatic-35 million the first year of the TVTA, 207 million the second year. Given Canada’s relationship to the United, States, it is understandable that Canada’s manpower planning policy was not one that Canadians had independently and consciously conceived. to have been little research There appears published prior to the passage of the TVTA. Two of the more important pieces of Canadian researchWilkinson’s study for the then Department of Labour and Bertram’s work for the Economic Council of Canada-were done outside Canada (at MIT and the University of Washington respectively), using .American research hypotheses.

In 1964, schedule IO of the TVTA came into effect, providing for research on a cost-shared basis with the provinces. Manpower’s research program gave birth to its first offspring in 1968 when Canada’s Manpower Requirements in 1970 was published. The educationalPlanning Division of the On-’ tario Institute for Studies in Education completed Part I of a two-part study which projects the future manpower needs and resources of Ontario to 1986. The Economic Council of Canada carried out a number of research projects for its seventh annual Review. One of the key studies attempts to measure the relationship of operating expenditures, capital expenditures, and total cost per student, to student output. Education’s manpower planning aspects have many ramifications for the interests of the ruling class. In the introduction to Higher Education and The Demand for Scientific Manpower in the United States, a 1963 OECD study, the authors explain the study was done because “there is much worry in high places that shortages will be present in 1970 unless immediate and drastic measures are taken to increase the supply-shortages which will impair the economic and scientific efficiency of the United States and endanger herpolitical and military role in the world.”

here are overtly political problems, too. Wilkinson, in his study for the Canadian Department of Labour, partially financed by the-Imperial Oil Company Limited, points out:

“Another difficulty is that-even if the projections are roughly correct insofar as the desire of students or of parents for their children are concerned, there is still no assurance that the type of students trained will be what the economy actually requires for production purposes. Considera b/e misdirection of effort, not to mention thwarted aspirations, may arise. In back ward countries, as Van Den Haag and others have pointed out, a pool of unemployed intellectuals may provide the spark for revolution. Clearly, it is not sufficient to look on/y at satisfying students’ demands for classroom space and instructors. The needs of the economy. for trained and educated people must be considered as well.” Wilkinson would have been fully entitled to say, “I told you so,” after the Quebec CECEP students occupied their schools. However, most of the explicit concern is with producing a surplus of people with the requisite skills for participation in “our” economy. The people who do these studies are not monsters, they are not witting servants of the ruling class-they seek only to understand things the way they are. Since the structure of the economy assumes a ruling class and since the dominant brand of social science is committed to refining and reproducing existing social relations, not subverting them, these studies are necessarily carried on from the point of view of the ruling class. The study done by Meltz and Penz on Canada’s manpower needs from ‘61 to ‘70 illustrates the class bias referred to above. Two of the assumptions they use in doing their study are: (I) “the industry and occupational structures of employment in the past have been determined primarily by the structure of output and by the prevailing technology, rather than by labour supply conditions interacting with demand conditions” (2) “the structure of output and technology of labour force is based on the assumption that the education structure too is labour-demand determined and independent of labour supply conditions.” They describe these assumptions as “gross oversimplifications of reality”. The reality they are simplifying, as may be seen from their assumptions, is one in which the needs of the ruling class for trained manpower are the basic determinants of the structure of the labour force and the structure of the educational system. Their assumptions state quite clearly that in both of these areas the needs, desires, and rights of the people who make up the structures-students and workers-are inconsequential. To question the degree of universality to postsecondary education deemed appropriate by the state or to- assert that the main purpose of postsecondary education should be the cultural enrichment of the entire society is to challenge priorities and fundaments of the economic and political orders in which we live.

have found myself becoming much more discriminating in the choice of films that I would go to see. Films that are ‘in’ become immediate pariahs for me. Easy Rider, Woodstock, The Godfather and the rest of that ilk failed to

solicit the two dollars or the one and a half hours of pained sedimentation required of me. The Ruling Class, now showing at the Odeon Hyland would likely have met this same fate of non-attendance. My reasons would have been simply that a ‘popular’ film that supposedly dealt with the important question of class relationships or behavior could only end up confusing the subject. The second fang of my prejudice was that Peter O’Toole had the starring role. s In his past films: Lord Jim, Lawrence of Arabia and Becket, O’Toole seemed to have exhausted his ability to portray a harpooned baby seal. Exhibiting the emotional depth of a crepe he had tried to smother his inabilities through increasing the decibel level of his timbrous Shakespearian enunciations . Yet The Ruling Class was a film that I looked forward to. Last year I had seen O’Toole on a B.B.C. talk show. At that time he bemoaned the film industry’s narcissistic infatuation with terror and titillations of perversity. He emphasized the need to bring back laughter and the power of satire. My appetite was whetted. Now having seen the film all I can admit to is amazed confusion. Adapted from his play, scriptwriter Peter Barnes ’ has sketched a portrait of the Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde development of the fourteenth earl of Gurney played by O’Toole. As the third and youngest son, he had been unable to come to grips with the martial society of his family and spent eight years in an asylum. The film begins with the death of his father and Jack’s return to his ancestral home as the inheritor and a self-assumed messiah. The latter r6le he has assumed for himself as a rationaie and defence. Under the duress of his social and family position he changes from the hippy god of love to the normalcy of the cruel avenging lord. Woven around the characterization of the earl is a host of major and minor characters who individually and collectively create a web of subplots and counterplots. O’Toole’s performance is both varied and convincing. For once he allows his body to slink, dance and leap across the screen. Yet because of the dominance of his role in the film there is a tendency of focusing solely on Jack’s development, and lessening the impact of the multiplicity of nuances created by the supporting cast.

The resultant interpretation of the film would closely resemble the stock western formula. A mild sensitive man wishes to live his life in tranquility ; because of the weakness of his friends and townsfolk he is put under pressure to drive out the tyrant who is threatening the ‘peace’. Bloodshed and dictatorial reaction are called forth, but the bad guy gets his just deserts and sheds a tear for the innocent bystanders who bite the dust. The Ruling Class is more sophisticated and complex than the above scenario, as can be expected in the age of the anti-hero. To get beyond -this North American cultural set, it is interesting to delve into the other currents expressed in this film. Psychiatry has become the new religion of our era. Encounter groups, counselling and old fashioned couch repartee has elevated psychiatrists into professional clergymen and witchdoctor status. The psychiatrist in the movie epitomizes this vulgarity. For eight years he has treated young Jack at his posh asylum. Using formalized categories such as paranoid schizophrenic he was unable to find any further labels to cure his patient. During a brilliant seduction scene, the doctor shows Lady Clare, played by Carol Browne, around his laboratory. In the most mechanical of terms, he - explains his treatment on rats and anticipates transferring the techniques to humans. Belatedly the concerned doctor discovers that he has been used just like his rats. His seduction was engineered to keep him out of the machinations at the Gurney estate. In order to redeem himself, he attempts to cure the paranoid and bring him back to the normalcy of being an earl. He succeeds in

‘The Ruling

Class ’

A splendid one_of the most bizarre scenes I have ever witnessed. Yet his success proves to be a failure. It is the failure of his profession and that brand of psychiatry that treats predominant society as normal. With the realization that he has created a monster he in turn gets carted off to be cured by the same electric shock treatments he had scientifically applied to his rats. Arthur Lowe as the butler Tucker, is magnificent. He truly steals the show. Playing the faithful family retainer he adds the dimension of class relationships. It should be pointed out that it is feudal social relationships that are described in this movie and has almost no reference to the present. Lowe is nimble and elastic in mannerism and speech. He is the only tragic figure in the film as his St. Bernard servility overcomes his latent Bolshevic sentiments. He understands the intricacies of the family insanity but his loyalty prohibits his leavetaking and thus becomes a victim of the rise of the Hyde character of the new earl. Another feature of the aristocratic class that struck me was the recurring call for punishment. Subsumed in this plea for more ‘law’n’order’ is that the lower classes are getting out of line. In present day society, based on property relationships, an appeal for a stiff application of the cat of nine tails is a response to breaking down of the availability of those of wealth and power to rule. Although most of the debate revolves, around moral-sexual poles, economics and politics are the more substantive grounds for anxiety by the rulers.

This may be a little too much psychologizing, yet I believe that in this film the constant fascination with punishment is a feature of class guilt. The aristocracy is moribund and parasitic. They even require servants to pick up their clothes after them. The thirteenth earl who had served on the bench required a ritual execution before retiring for the night. The transference of malfeasance by a criminal to his victim is common. We have only to look at American foreign policy for verification. The heaviest thrust from the rapier of satire is aimed at religion. The bishop played by my favourite Scrooge, Alastair Sun, is splendid as the representative of the archaic established Church. He turns the rather weak maudlin marriage scene into the most hilarious nuptial since Feiffer’s

satire

Murders. The bishop like his church is little more than an obsequious toady at the beck and call of Charles, the uncle of the earl. At first the informal religion of the messianic Jack appears refreshing in its naivete. Under the pressures of his family and station however, the hippy jesus-freak, hare-krishna god of love posturing, proves to be a veneer that cracks easily. It could be

Little

argued that the film produces a manichean approach to religion and thus only straw meu are being created to be blown away by the light breeze of hyperbole. My feeling however,. is that the basic tenets of godcentred beliefs are being satirized. The obvious intent is to state that there are many illusions that man lives under but all of them are self-induced.

Percolating, throughout this flit is the dominating family. It would seem much more appropriate to me for the film to have had family and not class in its title. This is not an ordinary family; and yet if our ‘normal’ family life was taken to its logical conclusion it might resemble the Gurney household. The difference lies less in the fact that power still resides in this old aristocratic tribe. Money and privilege are at stake. The structures of the family are immensely powerful. Incest, bullying and usurpation are the rules of the game. It is a militarized society and the offsprings were broken to fit in. The recently departed daddy wanted to be a dancer but had to give it up for the military and the bench. Dressed in a ballet skirt he could only live his desires through fantasy. His son Jack tried to rebel and was sent to an asylum for rehabilitation. The architectural terror of generational infighting suggests that this was the stuff out of which imperialist sentiment is built. The grotesque opening scene is almost incomprehensible until the end of the movie when the fourteenth earl has become complete in the sense that he has become a reproduction of his father. The circle is complete and the fam’ily stands triumphant. All the technical aspects of colour, camera work and editing are excellent. The one exception was the nuptial consummation scene which was ruined by the dull shears of the censors. I wish these guardians of Lawrence Welk morality might turn their energies to more useful endeavors such as editing telephone directories.

There are no dragging moments; the sustained quickness and continual transitional scenes left my mind overburdened with images. The direction of Peter Medak was flawless. The rapid juxtaposition of intense emotionality or philosophical scenes with irreverent musical and dance routines were grand. O’Toole’s harangue on the moral decline of modern man and his call for physical retribution suddenly erupted into a dancing of fox-hunting attired gentry singing ‘dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones’. The quick flash of symbolic imagery avoided the usual Fellini slide into artistic cerebralism, and instead elicited the subconscious immediacy of instinct. The nattily attired ape symbolized Jack’s struggle against an aristocratic way of life that veneered its violence in protocol and opera (monkey) suits. The ape breaks young Earl Gurney and exits with a smile and a tip of his hat. Animal imagery is scattered throughout the film. The pheasant dance courting scene is immediately contrasted with the preceding stylized waltz scene. This may have been an attempt at focusing on what is natural (normal) but in the labyrinth of delusions created by Peter Barnes there seems to be only mirrors reflecting mirror images. Of course there were also straight irreverencies such as the urinating fox. The best compliment that I can give is that each turn of events was unexpected. What a great relief from the standard cinema fare of stock situations and characters.

It is important to note that I got more and more out of the film as I talked to friends who had gone to the film. It would be a grand idea if cinema going was organized differently. Each theatre should have a comfortable refreshment area where the audience could /meet afterwards to delve into their individual interpretations of the film that had been screened. It could be a fine place to meet people and learn. If you have a chance take some friends and go see The Ruling Class. It is an excellent opportunity to use our stunted imaginations. It’s a pity that a film of the calibre of The Ruling Class won’t be considered acceptable to the conservative audiences in K-W. By the time one reads this review in print the film will have completed its run. i -brian

back into self-indulgence and further selfdestruction via heroin. One dramatic, pathologic movie moment occurs when Billie, mentally and physically exhausted, is called on by her fellow band musicians to perform, after she has been physically assaulted by rabid Klansmen from their bus. Incentive is high because a VIP talent scout is sitting in the audience. She, like a good trouper, makes the attempt. She pathetically begins to patch up her facial bruises with make-up, but it becomes apparent as the scene unfolds that the deeper, psychological wound which she justifiably bears can’t be as easily camouflaged. The complexity of her emotions are admirably mirrored in the torment, anguish and helplessness of the psychotic mirror-scribbling in symbblically red lipstick. Who is Lady Day? How should her life be interpreted ? Why, when she belts out “Good Morning, Heartache” do you just know she has a direct hot-line with the manufacturer? Billie Holliday sings Fanny Brice’s torch song, “My Man” and although in Funny Girl it is sung wrought with emotion and you thought you were moved, in this context with Billie singing it, it rips your heart out. Is her tragedy really a personal one, or is hers a life doomed right from the start by her role as a victim of her society? One knows all through her triumphant, precedent-setting concert at Carnegie Hall that her Cabaret singer’s license isn’t going to be returned to her. Her re-arrest is anti-climactic. Her untimely death at forty-four is a continuance of her nemesis; a statement of society. By it, what are we to infer from ours? _

Prepared to find the film Lady Sings the Blues a showcase for the talents of Diana Ross, former lead singer of the I obviously -underestimated “Supremes”, the limit of her capacity. For her acting debut in a movie, Diana’s performance was -by pure gold. Oftentimes glamour and camera flattery were put aside in favour of crushing reality. The opening prison scene where Billie is undergoing brutal drug withdrawal is particularly vivid, and exemplifies the reality aimed for in the visual milieu: This movie succeeds in many directions. One area in which it meets its target is in revealing some of the less pretty aspects of American society in the twenties. Resplendent in snowy linen, the Ku Klux Klan march across the silver screen, bearing flaming torches and equally searing placards. A lynching party scene looms unrealistically in the sphere of Billie’s consciousness. The viewer is presented with a glimpse intb New York City’s Harlem, the queen ghetto of them all, where young Billie Holliday defies all existing social laws by surfacing from a bummer of a childhood which is so unlovely that it is predictable. I didn’t even presume to try and identify with it. Her cliche childhood includes a preadolescent rape, rejection by her momma, who sends her away to tive with strangers. From Billie’s lips: “Momma, I can’t fault you for something that isn’t your fault”. Indeed. However, its cliche quality is somewhat broken by the knowledge that it did actually happen. (The movie is adapted from Billie Holliday’s collaborated autobiography of the same title.) Billie went on to spend her teens earning her room and board in a Harlem brothel as a prostitute. Considering her alternatives, who would dare pass moral judgement on that one? Read on. Diana Ross, happily, doesn’t try to mimic Billie’s singing, but utilizes her own tempered,Motown style, which doesn‘t take a back seat to anyone’s singi’ng. The gin-mill song scenes are mesmerizing; the plot has thickened and lends substance to the songs. The costumes and gowns Billie wears are gorgeous. The omnipresent white gardenias she wears in her hair symbolize the purity and devotion of the love of her well-meaning lover-cum-husband Lewis MacKay. Against the contrasting helpless poverty he shone in his uncontested halo of wealth and power.

could leave the audience in various states of mind. The main attraction, “The Ecstasy of Rita Joe,” is compelling in its subject matter but still slightly disappointing. The Ballet, adapted from the play by George Ryga, tells the story of the slow degradation of -an Indian woman. It traces her life as she first appears’before the courts charged with vagrancy, then prosititution and finally murder. The narration in the background-or actually booming god-like from the ceilingdescribing Rita Joe’s childhood and her appearance before the court, detracts fr_om the dance itself. Chief Dan George, who narrates the role of Rita Joe’s’father, is so compelling that it becomes very easy to listen to his voice and poetic phrasing and forget about the dancers. The film, which provides a background for the dancers for much of the ballet, is unfortunately also distracting. Washed out colour and rather boring shots of the prairie and houses qn the reserves still direct attention away from the people on stage. Perhaps a better way of getting the story across without intery,uptir)g the continuity of the dance would be incorporating the message into the music. The god-like approach would better be left to the balletic depiction of “The Ten Commandments”. The mixed-media approach to dance itself was not at fault, but rather those involved with its production seem not to have realized that with three different types of media competing for attention, the less important one-the film-might actually dominate the dancers. Ana Maria de Gorriz and Salvatore Aiello in the lead roles were quite compelling in

one segment of the ballet when the stage was theirs alone and when, able to forget the hunger, the cold, and the courts of law, Rita Joe and her lover could express the passion they felt. Of the rest of the mixed repertoire presented at the O’Keefe centre, “Rondo”-five pieces from various periods and styles-was the most interesting. Lyrical movements were interspersed with insanely mechanical ones. Grace and beauty were contrasted frighteningly with bodies that jerked and flopped against each other and rolled about the stage. -_ Music for this experiment in pure dance forms and images came from William Cornyshe’s “Ah Robin, Gentle Robin”, Gustav Mahler and Simon and Garfunkel. For those who enjoy romantic classical ballet the Royal Winnipeg presented a “Pas

de deux romantique”. While the interlude seemed to be staged solely for th’e male dancer Sylvester Campbell to display his fine technique, that is probably reason etiough since he certainly showed himself the master of all the romantic nuances. But what is refreshing about seeing The Royal Winnipeg is that they generally present ballet in a more contemporary manner, something that perhaps one could even call reievant to the human condition today. Unlike the National Ballet, which seems to have taken Tchaikovsky to its collective heart @is season, The Royal Winnipeg does recognize advances in dance and music. The company will be presenting its program here this weekend. Tickets, however, have been sold out since november. -by deanna kaufman -.

Classic style foreign A change in fashion was responsible for the rise in ‘popularity of the classical style after the baroque. The cultural focus in “Europe changed from the Rhine to France, whose aristocracy were steeped in selfindulgence and luxury. To their ears the solid teutonic music of Bach seemed oppressive. They demanded light, cheerful material more fitting with their extravagant life style. The change from the baroque of Bach was gradual. At first music was written that gave the impression of polyphonic style but was actually much simpler in construction. Such people as Bach’s four composer sons, Carl Philip Emmanuel, Johann Christian, Johann Christof and Wilhelm Friedrich Bach are ainong the most famous of this style. Even their father, Johann Sebastian Bach, adopted the style in the last part of his career. The Rococo style maintained only the extreme ornamented style reminiscent of the baroque and produced much flowery and bombastic material typified by the style of such composers as Couperin, Delalande \ and Rameau. This shallow style was to be the dominant one in the era of Mozart and Haydn.--Outwardly lively and vigorous for the most -part, inside there is little substance. Only in the area of religious music was emotion allowed to penetrate. The forms in which the music appeared remained static compared to forms initiated in the baroque. The detached rational outlook that was sought during the age of enlightenment has little in common with ours. So too, its music has less about it that is immediately attractive than other types with which we feel more kinship. It is probably -best, then, to start off with its most Iikeable works, the ones into which a strong melody has been infused. Mozart and Haydn were the dominant composers then with no close contenders. Mozart had a more melodious style than Haydn and among his many famous works are the ‘21st piano concerto’, also known as the ‘Elvira Madigan’ work of which the best version is on DGG 138783 with Geza Anda. His two flute concertos are also recommended, the best version on Seraphim S60123 with Schaffer, as are his many overtures and Symphonies numbers 40 and 41, of which many versions are available. The best way to sample this music cheaply . is with a ‘greatest hits’ record of which every major label has a version. Haydn’s best known efforts are his Symphonies no. 88 and no. 94, also known as the ‘Surprise Symphony’, and to a lesser extent, his last 5 symphonies, no. loo-no. 104. -by

Gabrieli was the first real “stereo” composer, writing brilliant and vital pieces for groups of players and singers in the opposed lofts of the Cathedrale di San Marco in Venice. Scaling this down to the arts theatre, Kunz established two groups. of players in the main aisles, toward the rear, so that a number of ‘listeners found themselves temporarily with a French horn in their left ear. The resulting sound, of mellow horns on one side and piercing trumpets on the other, is quite a cry from what Gabrieli could have had in mind, but far better to hear this great composer this way than not at all. Another item, Samuel Barber’s “Mutations from Bach”, consisted of bits of a Bach chorale and other things dissected and reassembled with some contemporary embellishments.

‘have feared. Some reinforcements for this concert from, I think, the K-W orchestra were in evidence and appreciated. Anyway, no really serious muckups were encountered, and Kunz’ tempos were well chosen-lively without being too taxing for amateur players. Should amateurs attempt Bach and Mozart? On the present evidence, yes indeed. That the Brandenburgs, among which the third has always been a favorite of mine, are wonderful masterpieces goes without saying ; given ability somewhat above the rudimentary, they turn out to be remarkably playable. I vote encouragement here. The first of the two solo concertos featured Judy Sheppard, who turns out to have spent only some four years at the horn. That so relatively untutored a player should even attempt one of the Mozart concertos is remarkable; that she should turn in a performance on the level of competence of this one is little short of incredible. There were, indeed, a few missed notes here and there; but against this must be weighed not only many very difficult passages handled with real mastery, but also and more fundamentally, evidence of real insight into the music, and a real feel for the instrument. Note that Sheppard’s trills were not fingered, but were done solely by embouchre control. Wow. And note too her ability to go from a full, round tone down near the bottom of the range to the upper registers without faltering and with almost perfect pitch accuracy. Experienced listeners will appreciate the kind of accomplishment this implies. On a still higher plane of wonderment was the performance of Mozart’s great concerto in A, K. ‘488, by Adrew Tao, a graduate student in mathematics whose avocation is the piano, but who has never played in a concert beforea fact which those who were present must find hard to believe, for Tao played with utter confidence and security, and scarcely a fumble anywhere. He has had only a few years of formal teaching, the rest being entirely self-taught. Tao’s Mozart is clean and lithe with absolutely no ‘romantic’ accretions. At many ,places, I found the playing perhaps a bit clipped, a bit short of the kind of ecstatic, singing roundness which I find in so much of Mozart. But Tao intentionally eschews the pedals and the result is undeniably remarkable in its lucidity. I should not leave the reader with the impression that Tao’s Mozart lacks feeling-on the contrary, he seems a natural Mozartean, if of a rather special kind. There was no hint of ugliness or of that overbearing quality that some steel fingered virtuosi bring to Mozart. No mistake about it, this was a real performance, not just a technically proficient run-through, and that is far more than can reasonably be asked from the debut of a man who is a pianist only as a hobby. The audience thundered its enthusiasm at the end, and were entirely justified in doing so. Let US hope that the rigors of a PhD program in math won’t keep Mr. Tao from further public appearances for too long ! -jan

Bring On The Biggies .-

Waterloo warriors i b-ball squad I of assured themselves a berth in the OUAA finals, last tuesday when they downed the mcmaster marauders by an 81-52 score. Themarauders, who were the only squad to defeat the warriors in league play, offered little trouble for the Waterloo team which was obviously ready to play ball. They were swamped in the early going when the warriors took an early 17-3 lead and never gave them an opportunity to get back in the game. Half time score was 40-19 for the home team. in the second half Waterloo continuedto play the good defence that had held mat to 19 points in the first half. A short outbreak of rough play erupted half way through this period. The mat team was frustrated and short tempered due to the lopsidedness of both the play and. the score. As a result of the skirmish, marauder Larry: Lavelle was ejected from the’ game. Things settled down a great deal after that and the warriors rolled on to the final score of 81-52. Paul Bilewicz led Waterloo scorers with 21 points. Paul was deadly accurate from the court, making 10 of 12 attempts, not all of these shots were from the two foot range where he gets a lot of his points. Mike Moser played a very strong game, pumping in 20 points. The warrior centre was extremely tough on the boards, both offensively and defensively, as he brought down 23 rebounds. Joe Martin0 topped marauder scorers with 13 points. Sam Kaknevicius added 10 more to the marauder effort. Warriors’ tightened defence and better ball control on offence were the main differences between this and the game which mat won previously. The warriors usually worked the ball around until they could get a good shot before putting it up. Waterloo shot 54 per cent from the court compared to marauders’ 35 per cent and outrebounded their victims 69-32. Coach McRae credited much of the warriors’ success to a simulated game which was held at a recent warrior practice. Some local dribblers from the intramural ranks supplied their talents for the drill. This imitation mat team played against the warriors, employing the various offensive and defensive formations that mat used when they last played the warriors. When the mat team tried to foul up the warriors by switching defensive configurations very frequently, the Waterloo squad .was prepared and knew where and how to break each defence. Coach McRae also felt that Ed Dragan and Mike Moser were big factors in the opening three or four minutes of the game when they upset the marauder attack. Ed especial l’y, converted several

impossible situations to the’ warriors’ advantage. The coach emphasized the importance of the first few minutes of a game, as being the time when a precedent can be set, as it was in the tuesday night game. Other scorers in OUAA semifinal games were Windsor 98guelph 81, laurentian 84-york 54, and Carleton 6% Ottawa 59. The winners of all these games will be in Waterloo for the finals, with the schedule as follows: tonight (friday) laurentian will battle the Windsor lancers at 7:00 pm while Waterloo takes on Carleton at 9:00 pm. Laurentian and Waterloo are the designated home teams for these games. Price of admission for friday night’s activities is $1 for students and $2 for others. Tomorrow, action starts at IO:30 am when the losers of tonight’s games will go after the consolation title. This game is open to the public at no charge. The winners from the first two games will go at, it at I:30 pm. The OUAA title will be at stake, as well as a chance for the national title next weekend. Admission to this game is the same as friday night, students $1 and everybody else $2. Windsor is still ranked second in the nation, behind the warriors and should these two teams meet again the lancers will be as tough as ever if not more so. Laurentian, ranked tenth, must be respected for until late in the season they were u ndefeated. Carleton, the warriors’ opposition, was the team that upset laurentian not once but twice. They have come to life very quickly and have improved a great deal. Coach McRae is sure they will give a much better showing than they did in the Naismith Classic, when they were mauled by Waterloo 111-63. He also adds that he is confident the warriors will play better than they did in the classic as well.

The warriors rounded out their regular season play with a home game against the western mustangs last Saturday night. The Waterloo squad had little trouble disposing of the ‘stangs, 93-70 to bring their record to II-I for the season. Half way through the first half warriors led by 15, 35-20 but they hit a slump for the rest of the period which ended 43-34 in their favour. _ The Waterloo players had some trouble holding onto the ball in that part of the game. Often passes went either a little ahead or a little behind the target, and sometimes right through the hands of the intended receiver. Remarkably the warriors made it through the entire first half with fewer than seven team fouls and thus did not allow the mustangs any one and a bonus free throw attempts. Western had a mini-resurgence

Once the warriors got started in the second half, Steve Ignatavicious was their big threat. Steve popped in seven of the nine outside jump shots that he attempted and brought his game total to 18 points, which was high score for a Waterloo player. He also played the role of floor general for the warriors and at most points he had the team under control. Mike Moser netted 17 points in the attack, all of them from his favourite spot, deep inside the western defence. Vytas Kazragis led mustang scorers with 20 points while Gary Chent got 12. -wheels photo by dick mcgill

Unfortunately the end of the season also symbolizes the loss of three athena volleyball finatics. Jane Fraser, Di Scarffe and Judy Wilcox hope to graduate this spring and will not be in the lineup next fall. Much of the team spirit was built around these veterans and the team sincerely thanks them for all their help with their playing experience. Where would the team have been without Di’s smiling face of determination, Judy’s assistance with their ‘soft touch’ and Janie’s drills-drilJs-drills. Practices are still being scheduled for the girls twice a week in determination for a stronger team next year and also to aid Jane to join the ranks of the Canadian University Team. Next year the Athenas hope to conquer western. The majority of the team will return hopefully excelled and mature with the volleyball experience they have aquired this season. Trainer and manager, Lynn Westwood will again return with her vocal support, training kit, tensor and tape. Athenas greatly appreciated her services in the past year. The Athenas also look forward to the return of their faithful, patient coach Pat Davis. ,Kwas and Fuzz now sign off with one statement ‘Watch out Western“. -kwas

P’ e rs last smash Western won the OWIAA volleyball championship after a hard fought final game with toronto. Waterloo athenas placed third behind toronto. Western, defending Canadian champions dropped only one match during the two day spill. The university of toronto held a tough second place after surviving the round robin undefeated and also taking the first game of the final match from Western. Although our Western friends lost their captain through an ankle injury on Friday they bounced back to reclaim their title.

The athenas maintained a strong third losing only to western and toronto. York, McMaster, and Ottawa trailed for fourth, fifth and sixth positions. In the consolation round, Cuelph overpowered Queen’s two straight games. On Friday night all of the teams were present for the banquet held at the Waterloo Motor Inn. Following the feast the teams presented a short skit reflecting their love for volleyball. The fans gave overwhelming support to the Athenas. Coach Pat Davis referred to them as “educated spectators”. Hopefully, many eyes were opened to the World of Volleyball and equal or greater number of fans return to the bleachers next year. Kwas an Fuzz are happy to announce that their faithful captain, Jane Fraser has been requested to tryout for the Canadian University volleyball team which will travel to Moscow late in the summer for the World Student Games (FISU).

The warrior badminton team travelled to Cuelph for the western OUAA championships last weekend. Although they were not contenders the squad played extremely well, placing fourth, one point behind McMaster. Rob Dickin was the top warrior In the tournament placing as first runner up in the meeting. By doingso Dickin qualified for the all-Ontario finals at M&taster. The second spot was filled by playing coach Kas Trejgo. Dickin and Trejgo teamed up as the warriors doubles team and finished in the first runner up spot. This placing also qualified them for the Mat trip. Originally the number three slot for the uniwat squad was Wayne Sass, but due to a leg injury he had to withdraw from the tournament. Filling in for Sass was Keith McGregor. Being in his rookie year McGregor has gained an invaluable amount of tournament experience this season. Balancing out the rest of the team was Bruce Walder. Walker turned in a strong performance winning three of his five matches. McGregor and Walker also teamed up in the doubles for the Warriors. While the final outcome was not indicative of their potential if they continue to gain more experience the smal.1 team will certainly be contenders next year.

Another record

Eight make nationals

/&immin All it takes to win a swimming championship is lots of fast swimmers, its as simple as that, and the athenas are blessed with many. The Waterloo ‘swimmin women’ made it look simple last weekend at mcmaster as they captured yet another league championship, their fourth in only five years of league competition. The squad also placed eight swimmers on the Ontario team that will be heading to Calgary on Wednesday. This was the most swimmers from any one Ontario team. When it was all over Saturday evening the Athenas had run up 382 points, the most ever scored by one team in the history of the championships and far out-pointed runner-up toronto, last year’s winner, who could only find 271. Third place went to guelph with 222 points while the other seven teams were even further behind. There was one new entry in the league this year, Ottawa who managed a seventh place finish; very respectable for a new club. Heading into the meet friday it was not known how the women would fair but upon completion of the initial race, the 100 yard butterfly, and uniwat swimmers taking first, second and third places to sweep the event and gain a big 41 points, the rest of the league knew it was all but over. Such a sweep, by Maida Murray setting an OWIAA record of 1:05.1, followed by Judy Abbotts and Joy Stratten, had never been done in ’ the history of the championships, and is rare in the sport. Following this Sue Alderson decided it was her turn to do some pdq swimming in -the 50 yard freestyle. Getting a good start Sue quickly went to the lead, hit a solid turn and finished the two length race almost a full second ahead of York’s Paula Thompson. Her time, again a new league record was 26.7 seconds, pdq, pdq. By this time the warriors glee club and poster plasterers had arrived on the scene rushing down to mcmaster after their practice. The men, with a cheer and song for every race and swimmer, made life sweet for the athenas but unbearable for the rest of the clubs. Their enthusiasm and carrying on in the stands was all that was needed for Marg Murray in the 200 yard backstroke. Marg, had placed

Again the Waterloo breaststroke pair of Liz Saunders and Maryanne Schuett came third and fourth in the 166 yard event, and in personal best times. Marg Murray set another athena record in the 166 backstroke going 1:09.2 and good for third place. Newcomer Sue Gillespie in her initial year of competition amazed, everyone, even herself, in the backstroke events placing tenth in both the 100 and 208. She dropped some 14 seconds off her own personal best in the 266 and went a fantastic 1: 18.3 for the 166. Next season she could be a real threat in the league, a definite finalist. finalist. The 468 yard freestyle saw Joy Stratten again place second to sister Merrily but at this point the women had all but taken the trophy. Sue Robertson and Bridgette Zirger were the other athenas in the event and both swam well considering Sue wassick the week previous and it was not the usual event for Brigette.

Women’win third in the afternoon heats but came second in the finals, set a new team record of 2 : 28.5 eclipsing the old mark by over three seconds and guaranteeing herself a plane ticket to the Stampede city. The Athenas dominated the fourth event of the meet, the 200 individual medley, again placing the three competitors in the finals. (No team can put more than three individuals in a single event. ) The race, needless to say, was won by Maida Murray in 2: 23.8 equalling her OWIAA record set at the International meet here in january . Chris Lutton finished fifth. However Kathy Adams, in her initial season with the team, was caught by the officials doing an illegal turn and was disqualified. Joy Stratten, who had been sick over a week before the championships was never pushed in the 260 yard freestyle. Her sister Merrily of Toronto got out in front and won in 290.6 while Joy came second going 2 : 13.7 almost six seconds ahead of the third place finisher. Laura Foley placed sixth in a time of 225.1. Waterloo also placed three finalists in the 266 breaststroke which was taken by Pat Kitchen of western in 2:43.5. Liz Saunders, who only started competitive swimming last season, placed third smashing her old team record by seven seconds going 2 : 46.0 while Maryanne Schuett was right behind covering the distance in 2 : 53.6, her personal best performance. Kathy Adams was a good sixth for the Athenas going 2:57.2 and just ,missing the time standard by 1.2 seconds. The final event of the first day was the 406 freestyle relay and as expected the athenas proved their superiority by finishing 13.5 seconds ahead of second place toronto. Members of the team were Kathy Adams, Joy Stratten, Sue Alderson and Maida Murray. The winning time was 4:03.3 and three of the four team members went sub one minute for each of their 100 yard leg on the relay.

OWlM Saturday morning even though the men had returned to Waterloo for a dual meet with Windsor. In the heats again just one swimmer missed finishing within the first twelve spots and by noon coach Bob Graham could rest easier as no other university had placed the necessary number of swimmers to overcome the athena lead. Co-captain Judy Abbotts started Waterloo off on the winning track taking the 50 yard butterfly. Judy out touched guelph’s Ann Walton by a single tenth of a second. Her time was a solid 28.9 seconds. Chris Lutton who finished in fourth position qualified for the Nationals earlier that morning when she went 36.8 seconds, her best time this year. Chris was the only athena to qualify the second day and brought the Waterloo contingent to eight swimmers heading west-just enough to cause trouble at the Nationals. Sue Alderson gave her all in the 106 freestyle going a personal best of 58.4 and setting a new club record by over a second however it wasn’t enough to beat Merrily Stratten. Sue, who is in first year, has been dropping her times all season and no one knows where it will end.

Maida Murray had only one purpose in swimming the 466 yard individual medley and that was to establish a new OWIAA record. This was accomplished easily taking 1.6 seconds off the record previously held by Sandra Bowler of western. Maida, who was the outstanding swimmer at the championships, winning three individual eventi and being part of the winning freestyle relay, covered the sixteen lengths in 5 :05.9, ending over 36 seconds ahead of the second place finisher. Waterloo’s other entry, cocaptain Laura Foley swam a personal best in the event and placed a great fifth. This is the second year in a row Laura swam the ‘animal’ race. The athenas put the icing on the cake to cap the triumph in classic style by winning the final swimming event in record time. Marg, Liz, Judy and Sue Alderson went 4:37.O well under Toronto’s previous record of 4 :41.6. . In the diving, La-&e Martin had her troubles on the one metre board friday but got straightened away on Saturday placing sixth on the high board. Sue Repath and Jane Williams, both new comers failed to make the consolations on either board this year, but watch out next winter. Over all the Athenas established four new league records, bringing their total to over 50 per cent, eight new team records, and scores of personal best times. With eight

speedsters, Joy Stratten, Maida Murray, Margaret Murray, Judy Abbotts, Sue Alderson, Liz Saunders, Maryanne Schuett and Chris Lutton heading to Calgary the Athenas have an excellent, well balanced squad which possibly could take the national title. At the very least they are sure to bolster the conferences chances of winning for the first time.

Men’s today The uniwat pool will be the scene for this year’s OUAA swimming and diving championships starting this morning at 10 am. Waterloo, who placed third at last year’s championships, behind toronto and western will be going all out to move up this time around and place as many competitors as possible on the OUAA Conference team to Calgary. Some of the finest swimmers in Canada will be at the two day meet including Byron MacDonald, Jim ” Adams and Bill Kennedy. MacDonald is ranked 4th in the world in butterfly and is sure to cover the 100 yard distance in the low 50 seconds. Adams who has been with the university of toronto for a number of years will be hard to beat in the short sprints, while Kennedy was on the Canadian Olympic squad in 1872 and is sure to bolster the western crew. George Roy, waterloo’s veteran team captain, will be leading the strong warrior team to the finals. The team this year is tough in all swimming events, and the divers under Coach Marnie Tatham are ready to meet any challenge by the other teams. On friday the diving starts at -loam while swimming heats go at 1:3Opm with the finals at 8pm. On Saturday swimming starts at loam with the diving after the heats. All finals are again at 8pm. In all eleven teams will be in the running this year including for the first time Ottawa, Laurentian, and Lutheran.

Far ahead The second days events started out with the uniwat ‘swimmin women’ having a commanding 75 point lead over toronto. All except one swimmer had made either finals or consolation finals friday and the necessary winning momentum was there early on

Frostbite is fun! i

Yes, the university of waterloo climbing club exists! Two weeks ago, nine members of the club set out for the Bruce Trail south of Owen Sound on a winter weekend camping trip to prove that frostbite is fun. The weather was clear and cold, perfect for snowshoeing, crosscountry skiing, and hiking. Accommodations were spartan at the Noisy River lean-to, with allweather air conditioning, freezerfresh lunches, and an open air lavatory. Plans were kept to a minimum; people set out in different directions, some on snowshoes through the woods, others on skis over open cross-country fields, or on foot clambering around the cliffs and caves on the face of the escarpment. Fresh air, good food and warm sleeping bags drove us to bed early. However the night was kept alive with frequent trips to the bush in the -10 F temperatures. The following day the group hiked together up onto Kimberley Rock in the Beaver Valley, perspiring in the hot sun. Despite the five degree temperatures, jackets and sweaters came off and the suntan lotion went on. The long climb was worthwhile, however, for the view from the top was spectacular and the expedition ended with everyone exhausted but exhilarated. If this sounds like a satisfactory way to spend a weekend, why not find out more about the u of w climbing club? There will be more exciting things coming up in the near future, so contact John Rowe in the Optometry department, room 374 in Chem II.

Ground action The Ground Hog Ring Road Relay Race was originated in 1972 as a five-man road relay around the campus with each runner completingone lap of the Ring Road. Breaking with this short tradition, the number of runners to a team was reduced to four in order to accomodate those athletes unable to produce a fifth. An interesting feature of this year’s classic was the addition to the program of a novelty event, The “Hogger’s Jog”, which attracted seven athletes. The weather was miserable; so miserable that the official starter wassure the race would be called off and did not make an appearance. However, these hardy athletes were not to be denied and reacted promptly to the

verbal commands of the scoring judge who did not have the benefit of a smith and weston. The first lap was fast. Ian Williams provided a twelve seconds lead for the kin faculty over another team affectionately known as “coureur de chemin”. Jay Thompson widened this gap to 55 seconds. Relentlessly, Frank Celinas of the “coureur de chemin” chased Gerry Baycroft from the kin faculty team for the I.7 miles trip around. the ring road until the margin was reduced to five seconds. The faculty team was relying heavily on the strength and experience of Dot Houston, but “coureur de chemin” had too much depth and apparently were saving their best for last. Stephen Peet took the bit in his teeth and ran away from Houston finishing with the fastest lap of 8:17 for the day. The defending champions, lower eng, could only salvage third place with st. jeromes and renison in hot pursuit but buried in fourth and fifth place respectively.

Wrestlers slip to second

remainder of the match trying to avoid Scheel as a result the warrior wrestler was unable to score any points. Scheel had to settle for second. Don Spink should have won the 150 pound class but sank to second. Frank O’Crady was one person who ran into bad luck-he had to face the defending OUAA champion in the first round and then the Canadian champion in the third round. First year men on the team came some surprises. Al UP with Kalbfleisch placed second coming up with some outstanding matches. John Budda, better known as a football player, who took to the mats for the first time two months ago placed second in the heavyweight class. Other warrior placings were Jim Skelly third in the 126 lb division, and Scott Marshall third in the 190 lb class. Wenzel and Bei ler will be competing in the Canadian University Champ,ionships [CIAU) being held at Cuelph today and tomorrow.

’ Athena b’ballers finished

The wrestling warriors slipped to second this year in the OUAA championships. Waterloo took only two in- ’ dividual titles when it was expected that they would take at least four. Western won the team I title and guelph placed a distant third. Athenas finished with a 4-6 According to some of the record this season and a week ago Wednesday the Athenas travelled warrior wrestlers the team which got the breaks would win the to mcmaster for what turned out championship and it appears that to be a disappointing game for western got those breaks; this the home squad. After an hour delay due to the year. length of the volleyball game and Tim Wenzel picked up a first place in the 134 pound class. Wenzel’s win this year makes up for last season when .he had to withdraw from the OUAA championships after the first round because of an injured arm. Egon Beiler was the other warrior to finish on the top of the pile. The competition in the National championships may be a than Beiler had bit tougher anticipated last weekend. During a training session earlier this week a very unpleasant sound ‘and eventual pain came forth from one of his knees. The seriousness of the injury is not known at press time, but it is hoped it will not hinder his performance. An error in judgement cost Fred Scheel the individual title in the 158 pound class. He lost 2-O to Joe Markoci of Western. After Markoci had scored his points on Fred’s error he spent the

a late official, the game finally got underway. The late start did not seem to slow down the aggressive mcmaster team. They started out running and never stopped throughout the game. Their up-tempo pace seemed to rattle the Athena attack which never had time to get organized. The Athenas had plenty of opportunity to control the pace but were unable to bet cool enough to do it. It was not until later in the second half that the Waterloo squad settled down to play their own game but by then the point spread was too great for them to overcome. Final score, 57-43. The win for mcmaster assured them of second place behind windsor and the right to try for the championship this weekend in Ottawa. The Athenas played their last league game with a win over Lutheran. The Waterloo team played well and with a whole team effort toppled the Lutheran group 53-26. Yonna Luypaert was top scorer for the home side with 13 points. Toos Simons, who played her last league game for the university of Waterloo, tu,rned in an exceptional effort on the floor. Toos I graduates this spring after five years of play.- She was a member of the original Athena team as they were called the bananas before. Toos will certainly be missed next year. The Athenas will finish up their season playing in a year end tournament in Ottawa. This tournament held in conjunction with the championship will feature the four teams from each division who did not qualify for the championship.

LEWIS AND TRUDEAU Not a comfortable position

* tightrope by Robert from Last

Chodos Post

Some critics of the government, said Arthur Blakely of the Montreal Gazette, were attacking the throne speech as one of the most cynical such documents in Canadian history. “But Canadian politics,” he continued with classic understatement, “has never been completely free of cynicism.” He --went on to point outincorrectlythat the Diefenbaker government had fallen in 1963 when the Liberals under Lester Pearson had supported a S’ocial Credit motion of non-confidence based on the government’s failure to adopt Sacred economic theory (in fact, the fatal motion had been an omnibus attack on the government for its lack of leadership). But if Blakely hadn’t got his facts quite right, he had nevertheless hit on ai wider truth. The decisions that members of parliament make to vote for or against motions before the House of Cmmons have very little to do with the content of those motions, and very much to do with their own survival. It is perhaps not overly cynical to suggest that the most important fact to consider in trying to predict MP’s behaviour is that they now make $26,000 a year. There are few people-and MPs are, after all, peoplewho would not think twice before risking the loss of such a job; this may help explain why the MPs who look the least favourably on the possibility of an early election are precisely those who have the least confidence in their ability to get re-

to snap

elected. It may also cast some light on the talk that has been heard out of Ottawa about the public’s not wanting an early election; what ’ that really means is that many members of parliament don’t want an early election. New Democratic Party leader David Lewis offered another angle. Speaking to reporters after an NDP caucus late in the afternoon of Opening he acknowledged that the Day, Progressive Conservative opposition would try to word a motion of nonconfidence in such a way that the NDP would be induced to support it, and thus bring down the government of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. A motion of non-confidence, he said, “is a ritual. I have no doubt that the Conservative motion of non-confidence will seek to put us on the spot. “I take that for granted. And if we are stupid enough to be influenced by that, we will let down the people of Canada.‘.’ Lewis’s position, if you stopped to think about it, could be justified on more than purely self-interested grounds. After all, if you are a New Democrat, and particularly if you are a New Democratic MP, then you believe that the presence of a large number of your party colleagues in the House is in the interests of the country. “More New Democrats” was the party slogan in the last campaign. Nothing has happened since, or is likely to happen in the future, to convince the NDP that, in fact, it would really be better to have fewer New Democrats. The NDP is also convinced that an early election would not be in its interests. The arguments for this proposition are considerable. It will take the party a while to recover financially

from the last campaign, it does not want to be blamed for precipitating a supposedly unwanted midwinter visit to the polls, and it fears that an election now would turn into a Liberal-Tory runoff. And so, its course is clear. If the Tories with brutal cynicism introduce a non-confidence motion that reads as if it was written by J. S. Woodsworth, the New Democrats ‘will vote against it without feeling that they have betrayed the spirit of their sainted founding leader. Still, it was not a position in which the NDP was particularly comfortable, and as the session opened, not all New Democrats were happy with it. Even some MPs suggested to the caucus that the party should be much tougher with the government. Sympathizers who preferred to see the NDP in its traditional role of conscience of parliament were dismayed to see it in alliance, real or apparent, with the hated Liberals. Well then, Lewis wondered, what should a conscience do? Turf the ,Li berals out and let the Tories come in? It gave him an opportunity to get up in the House and deliver his best set speech, the plague-on-both-yourhouses one: “There is nothing in the record of this government in four and a half years that deserves the confidence of the New Democratic Party. But there is nothing in the record of .the Conservative Party in this country, with a majority government or a minority government, or in the record of. the Leader of the Opposition while premier of Nova Scotia, that warrants our confidence.” It was a rousing bit of oratory, but it

any changes in what the to do. Non-confidence proposed and defeated

motions were with as little fuss as they had been in the previous parliament. But the Liberals were not without their problems. They had to-and in the throne speech they did-go part way toward incorporating NDP policy into their own. Although the throne speech fell far short of the eleven-point program Lewis had set outjust after the election, there was enough candy (to borrow the felicitous phrase that Prime Minister Trudeau introduced into the respectable political vocabulary during the last election campaign) for the NDP to keep it in line. In fact, there was lots of candy for everyone. The throne speech represented not so much a shift to the left as an increase in sugar content. (About the only major group left out were Canada’s native peoples; when approached with this one prime ministerial aide said they were included in the section promising that the government would “encourage through its multi-cultural policy the deveiopment of a society in which individuals and groups can develop and express their own cultural identity.“) The government was performing a delicate balancing act, and the question was how long it could go .on. The relationship between what the government puts into a throne speech and what it puts into actual legislation in the session that follows has become more and more tenuous in recent years; the Canada Development Corporation, for example, was promised in seven consecutive throne speeches before it was finally set up in 1970. The 1973 throne speech was at least phrased in more concrete language than previous ones, but the -government can-and will-renege on much of what it seemed to be promising on Opening Day. The NDP, after all, is not the only group the Liberals have to please. if it needs the NDP to help it avoid an election, it needs its own corporate backers to have any hope of remaining in power once an election comes. Andcorporate support for the Liberals, on the basis of the traditional 60-40 financial split between them and the Conservatives, is by no means as automatic as it once was. The Conservatives represent not only a credible alternative, as a party that could conceivably form the government after the next election, but also an attractive one, as a party that at this point represents corporate interests at least as well as the Liberals, and probably better. The government is walking a tightrope between the corporate moneymen, who expect a fair return on their investment in the Liberal Party, and the NDP, which conducted virtually its entire campaign last fail on the issue of government largess to corporations. It will find that that tightrope will become tighter and tighter, and eventually it will snap. The earliest point at which this is likely to happen is when Finance Minister John Turner introduces his in mid-February or so. In budget, particular, the government promised in the throne speech “amendments to the Income Tax Act. . . reintroducing measures announced earlier.” A spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office said that, yes, this did indeed mean that the government would extend the corporate tax cut announced last June. And David Lewis said that the NDP would vote against that extension if it were introduced. -But surely the Tories, who share with the Liberals a common enthusiasm for corporate welfare, would vote for the extension? Well, maybe not; if, as Lewis said, the Tories would vote for the Communist Manifesto to defeat the government, they could surely find it in their hearts to vote against a corporate tax cut.

Then that means that the government will fall at budget-time, doesn’t it? Well, maybe not. Because if the NDP still has not steeled itself for an election, then it will keep the government in power, even if it means voting for the corporate tax if the government cut, especxially chooses to sweeten the package by throwing the tax cut in with some other measures that the NDP would be hard put to oppose. We don’t like the tax cut, Lewis will say, but we feel that the budget as a whole contains enough positive measures that. . . Then does that mean that the government could stay in power indefinitely? Well, maybe not. But if there is an early election it will as likely as not be by decision not of the NDP, not of the Tories, but of the Liberals themselves. -/The Liberals, after all, have little to gain by allowing the bushy-tailed, outfor-blood Tories time to build up their war chest. They might as well get off the tightrope as soon as they can; in a situation as delicate as the one they are in they have reason to suspect that the longer they wait, the worse it will be. Many people, Liberals among them, noted that the throne speech sounded suspiciously like the election platform the party didn’t have, and could have used; last fall. It is not likely that that was unplanned. In a briefing on the throne speech, a top PM0 official tying together the promised rash of federalprovincial conferences, the decentralization of the department of regional economic expansion and what has since become known as the Liberals’ discovery of the west, said that the government’s plan was to “take every region of Canada in a -new national policy toward its full potential.” It sounded very like a theme for an election campaign. And ‘a new national policy’ sounded very like an election slogan. The old one worked for Sir John A. back in 1878 and besides,. it has a better ring than ‘The Land is Strong’. In the age of the new nationalism, a new national policy’ should be just the thing.

If the Liberals were planning for an early election, it made the NDP’s attempts to avoid one rather pointless. There was, for the NDP, a sad irony in the situation.For years the NDP has held the realistic ambition (as opposed to its Walter Mitty reveries of being the government or the opposition) of one day holding the balance of power. Ah, if only we held’ the balance of power, what we could do then, We’ll turn parliament upside down. We’ll be ablg to write the government’s agenda. We’ll show people what the NDP can do. Now, finally, the NDP does hold the balance of power, but it hasn’t worked out quite the way it was supposed to. It is still the Liberals who are writing the agenda. The NDP has no more power than it did when it was just a plain ordinary third party, and far less freedom of action. If it supports the government, it is accused of being opportunist; if it opposes the government, it is accused of being irresponsible. Instead of showing people what the NDP. can do in parliament, the current situation is showing the NDP what it can’t do. It is not an enviable position. One New Democratic MP said only half jokingly to a reporter after the caucus at which the party decided to support the government, “It is a far far worse thing we did today than we have ever done.” The reporter asked him to consider the following scenario: “The unemployment figures come out next month and there’s 7.9 per cent unemployment. Stanfield gets up in the House and says the unemployment situation is ‘shocking’. He moves a motion of non-confidence in the government on the grounds that they’ve mismanaged the economy. How do you avoid supporting that?” “Well ,I’ said the MP, “we’ll find something.”

My Guru once told me in a moment of extreme inebriation on both our parts, “If life were easy, my son, there would be no sado-masochists among us, and likewise with the massage parlors.” All of which has, unfortunately, nearly nothing to do with today’s sermonette. Our topic today is “Apathy: the man and the legend.” Lucas Wellesly Apathy was born to two parents in utter Poverty, NWT, in 1906. He worked installing fences across the borders of Alberta, during a government attempt to ’ keep out the winds of change. After earning enough to pay his way through grammar school, however-with a little on the side for sideshows-he rented a sky-hook and raised his consciousness about three feet-just enough, it turned out, to allow him to see over the class barriers. About this time, he met his future concubine and laundry-woman Pauletta Ngorkowsky, a beautiful young Irish lass with flaming red hair. After he had put her head out, he immediately proposed to her, but she deflated his male eagle with a hatpin, and the affair was over virtually before it had begun....no one is sure just when Apathy came to this campus, but even the oldest faculty members can, in short periods which they overcome their senile fog of forgetfulness, recall amusing anecdotes about him. Have you heard the one about the travelling farmer’s daughter who stopped in at the salesmans’ house? Neither had his wife, but when she did......Fortunately,?blame for this edition isspread among quite a few individuals, but unfortunately, not quite enough.
