The Dare strike

Hertz under fire For three days last week, Dare strikers picketed the Hertz Car and Truck rental outlet in Kitchener. Having recently seen Hertz tractors pulling Dare trailers out of the plant, along with Tilden and Hartley Movers vehicles, the strikers decided to try to let the public know that Hertz was helping Dare in its strikebreaking tactics. Restricted by court injunctions to little more than “public education” the picketers can in no way interfere with the business of Hertz and made no effort to disrupt the running of the yard. Early in the strike, last summer, the Hertz Car and Truck Rental outlet in Kitchener had been approached by some of the strikers and asked not to continue renting to the company. Hertz’ position

was that, since they had a contract with Dare, it would have been impossible to cease renting tractors to them,The contract was up by the end of the summer, and no effort was made by Dare to have it renewed. However, rental continued, and Hertz kept Dare as a regular customer. According to the Hertz licensee in Kitchener, Mr. Wicks, “an agreement” had been reached with the “union” as far as rental to Dare was concerned. It was made clear to the delegation that had approached Wicks last june, that there was little that he could do. As far as he was concerned, the Dare Food Co had been “customers for 20-25 years” and that he “couldn’t cut these customers off.” Wicks

‘maintains that the union accepted this situation, and consequently came to an agreement with Hertz that they would “on an emergency basis only, give them a truck”. Paul Pugh, one of those on the picket lines asserted that if Hertz had been renting to Dare on an emergency basis, it was not by agreement with the strikers. The delegation that had spoken with Wicks had not been an official union delegation, and that, while they did not argue his position, they did not agree. A further contradiction between the union story and that of Wicks involved disagreement over just when the last Hertz truck hauled goods out of the plant. A number of the women picketing at the rental yard said they had seen a Hertz tractor at the plant two weeks ago, and thought it had had a Kitchener label on the door. However, both Wicks and an ‘anonymous’ source in Hertz maintained that there had not been a truck from that outlet at the Dare plant since last november. When asked. about this difference, Wicks said the truck could have come from anywhere in Ontario since Hertz is “giving brokers rental of trucks when their own trucks break down.” The fact remains that a Hertz vehicle was hauling out of the plant, and the strikers’ decided that they would try to make a move to stop the scab trucking, by first challenging Hertz: Questioned on whether he thought there were any moral implications in the issue, Wicks attempted to avoid recognizing any. As far as he is concerned, “it would be unfair to cut Dare out just because they are on strike”. He is dealing with the company, and the business transactions that he has with it are not affected by any “internal” problems. In light of his apparent concern with fairness, at least as far as management is concerned, he was asked if he felt that the recent contract “offer” made by Dare was fair. His answer was that the “contract offer is none of my business, or for that matter, it-is none of yours.” Wicks seemed somewhat taken aback by the recent expression of strikers’ discontent with his business dealings in scab-produced goods. Complaining that “all of a sudden we are a bunch of bounders” Wicks offered the consolation that there is “no great deal of profit involved,” and that there were no more than two trucks a month going to Dare. Attempting to justify his position further, Wicks stated that he had a responsibility to his own workers, and that in order to stay in business and keep them in work, he has to rent trucks. Needless to say, Hertz is a non-union shop. -john

than-half-a-dozen Canadian planning departments should be more clearly capable of evolving a specifically Canadian theory. But Greg Spearn, a second year planner said that although his own inclinations coincided with the apparent student concensus in favour of Izumi, he did feel Saltzman to be the next best candidate of the five. He also fears that if Saltzman turns down the position, “the shit’s really going to hit the fan. The alternatives are bleak.” He does not feel that the ‘proper’ procedure of reconvening the committee to reconsider the remaining finalists would be utilized. With the recent withdrawal of another of the applicants and the ‘ ‘complete unacceptibility” of a second, only Izumi and Burton would be left in the running. “I don’t think Nash wants either of them”, said Spearn. “The dean is pushing for an immediate decision. I really have this fear of the power the dean’s going to have if Saltzman doesn’t get this job.” Spearn cited the dean’s occupancy of the directorship of architecture during the search for a suitable candidate and pointed to the “announcement” of R. Dorney as interim director of planning for this year. He fears appointment of someone from within the faculty who is not now a candidate and would not be given even the limited exposure to the school as a whole that properly nomin’ated and screened candidates received. One of the recommendations of the search committee’s student members was that students, like faculty, should be allowed a ratification vote on the choice‘ of the committee. (The faculty vote, incidentally, indicated disapproval on the part of 5 out of 15. But dean Nash contends that at least three withdrew% their disapproval vote when they realized that it meant not merely an alternative preference, but “a very serious cause I for concern”.) A student ratification vote, argued Nash “would not be a very useful exercise. It’s too cumbersome a machinery. Who are all the students? Would the voice of a graduate be the same as a fourth year student. 3” For many first and second year students especially, he felt, it would be “too complicated a problem for them to vote intelligently-without depth of knowledge.” The knowledge argument is difficult to counter. Yet the problem of monopoly of knowledge in such matters is not only attributable to student disinterest or lack of experience. People become active and involved only if they perceive it will do some good, ie. if they believe they have’some power in a-given situation. If they percieve the course of events as beyond their control, they will usually just put up with it as best as possible. Unless students come to believe that they have a right and the

capabilities to substantively participate in the decisions that govern the form and content of their education; and unless faculty come to understand that students are adult human beings despite the educational system’s function of prolonging adolescence-there is little hope for real change. , Dean Nash feels justified in an almost insultingly paternalistic feeling of pride in the “responsibility” of three isolated. students who stumbled onto a search committee, got involved and actively learned something. Peter Brother, assistant to the dean can quote other faculty committee members as saying, “They had really forgotten they (student committee members) were students and considered them equals”. There’s still a long gap to be bridged. Protesting the end result of a year-long process is like shutting the proverbial stabledoor when it’s already too late, And objecting to the man (on the quite reasonable grounds of lack of Canadian experience and a quantitative, computer-style approach) does not challenge the priorities which did, do and will continue to lead to such decisions. Perhaps the definitive comment on the role of students in the decision making process comes from Ian Robertson, president of the enviromental studies student society which, has declined to involve itself in any way in the dispute. “We sort of stayed away from the issue,” he said, “but it was not so much apathy as plain disinterest.” I

No jobs for women

On the Line for

an atternative In September of last year, a group of people in the K-W area began to publish an independent labour newspaper, “On the Line”. The staff of the paper, which has increased from eight or nine to about fifteen people in the first six months of operation, is looking forward to continued publishing, expanded coverage and an enlarged distribution in the future. The paper, which is presently in its ninth issue, has had a number of problems getting established. Originally planned as a bi-weekly, it has generally succeeded . in coming out every three weeks rather than every two. According to one staff member: “The major problem we have had with publication has been finances. .We do most of the work ourselves but still have to pay for printing and materials as well as distribution. The total cost of the paper is quite low-about $225 per issue total-but the funds certainly didn’t roll in at the beginning. Things are beginning to look up a bit now though, as people get the idea that we’re not just a fly-by-night set-up. Also we’ve organized the fund raising a bit more rationally than it was at the beginning with the people who are most likely to get somewhere with fund raising doing the work. And there have been other problems...” One of the other problems was a disagreement over how the local labour unions would be dealt with in the paper. Union members on the paper pushed hard for the position that unions should be dealing with their own problems, internally and asserted that the

&I973

commercial media (the K-W Record) does enough to criticize the unions without a labour paper getting in on the act. Other staff members felt there were real short-comings in many of the unions which should be pointed out in the paper and they argued for a critical approach to the unions in the local area. Eventually the policy of the paper was established as being fairly noncritical with respect to unions. At least one staff member left the paper over the decision. On the other side of this debate the unions have not responded warmly to the establishment of On the Line. The heart of - this resistance seems to be the local labour council, which has even gone to the extent of barring On the Line reporters from the meeting where the executive of the K-W Labour Council was elected. A reporter from the K-W Record was later given admittance to the same meeting. The paper has been called a ‘union paper’ by some and it is true that the main coverage. to date has centered on strike and “protest situations which emanate from union activity. However, the staff claims to be interested in expanding that coverage to include as, many aspects of the local situation .as possible. There have already been articles covering such areas as community sports, municipal government, pollution, food costs, nutrition and education; the latest issue had a column called ‘tidbits’ which included a variety of miscellaneous items. The two restrictions to this expansion are

finances and staff. Members of the On the Line staff were asked how they saw the paper relating to - the university scene.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ the university is a major employer in the K-W area. And from all reports it seems to be a typical screw-the-workers mentality -that guides employment practices at this venerable institution. On the Line people showed interest in making contacts with the people who work here and asked us to make it known that they would like letters or articles from members of the staff at U of W. They mentioned working conditions, hiring practices and job expectations as possible areas which staff members would be interested in writing about; but hastened to add that they did not intend these suggestions as limitations and would like to hear about any aspect of the work situation on campus. And students?. . .Well, the students have‘ the chevron and that’s pretty good for purely student affairs. But the people with On the Line would like to see students taking a more active role in the community. They see this as a necessity if there are ever going to be strong bonds between the student population and the rest of the population of K-W. People from the community feel like they’re walking into a private office building when they go near the university and they’re not about to get involved in the university until they get some, encouragement from at least one segment of the university population. On the Line is presently being distributed to about 8,000 people in the K-W area. About 500 to 600 copies are left at the main desk of the campus centre, so if you’re interested keep an eye out for the next issue. If you would like to work on the paper or send in a letter or donation or just give them’a tip on something which might be worth covering the address is 97 Victoria St. N., Kitchener and the phone number is 576-2640. -bill

For any women interested in obtaining summer employment after the end of the school year, on place they need not look in this area, is Carlings Breweries in Waterloo. Out of interest, one student inquired of the manager at the plant whether any jobs could be had by women. The answer at that time, was a derisive snort. Women are not suited to make beer for Carlings. A conversation with an official of the personnel department at the plant revealed that there just aren’t any women’s jobs in the plant. This is why only a handful of women are hired by Carlings-to work at secretarial positions in the offices. The spokesman pointed out that one of the reasons women can’t work on the production lines is that there are no “lavatory facilities”; production simply isn’t set up to accomodate anyone other than males. And “the nature of the work is not conducive to females’ ‘--end of argument. This observation comes right from the top, the ‘personnel manager at Carlings’ head office in Toronto. The gentleman went on to elaborate that workers are required to preform such functions as driving trucks and lifting &lb. cases around the plant. So while there is no specific policy to exclude women from the production lines, they just aren’t hired. By both spokemen’s frame of reckoning, women could fit into at least part of the production, since some jobs are easy enough to be “suitable” for women. However, in each of Carlings’ plants there is a system of rotation in which workers are shuttled from job to job on the line. Since some jobs are heavy and women would have to shift with the rest of the people in the plant, they cannot have jobs since they are incapable of performing the heavy work. Such is the logic of the argument. Apparently there has been some contact between Carlings and the Department of Labour about this matter. The above explanation was given to the government officials, the problem no longer officially exists and the matter is evidently closed. The Department of Labour office in Waterloo refused to say whether or not the local brewery has ever been investigated. The spokesman did point out however, that the only way an investigation could take pIace would be for a woman to apply for and be refused a job on the sole basis of her being a female. Then she could lodge a complaint and,’ after due process, an investigation would be undertaken. The government does , not make investigations on its own initiative, so it remains for those affected to act for their individual rights. -man

Strike ends but UQAM still dosed

Police incitement of picket-line violence and a court injunction have forced an official end to the general strike at the Universite du Quebec a Montreal; but students continue to boycott classes and the’ university remains effectively closed down. On february 16, rector Leo Dorais announced the university would suspend classes and activities for a “period of reflection.” The students, with support from the teachers’ union and the nonacademic employees union have kept the institution shut down since january 26. The university administration is also under heavy fire from the non-academic staff with whom they are negotiating a new contract. The union may legally strike by the end of March. Protesting the administration ruling ordering the expulsion of a possible 600 students with debts payable after specific dates in each term, the strike had forced the administration to withdraw its initial payment deadline. On february 6, the Quebec government lifted all province-wide deadlines and authorized each university ‘to decide for itself how to collect fees. Protests and class boycotts had also developed over the issue .at the University of Montreal. In both cases, students want the pay-back period extended into post-graduation employment. UQAM students last thursday were expecting police action after rector Leo Dorais announced the night before that the university would be reopened. Two hundred picketers arrived before 8 am at the UQAM Joliette campus on busy downtown St. Catherine street. Another 200 massed before a second building nearby. Police stationed in the area moved in after students tried to stop the entryinto a parking lot of a professor’s car. When half a dozen police were unable to push the crowd back, they moved aside. A motorcycle cop accelerated his machine from across the street directly into the picket line. It was stopped by the press of bodies. Immediately, several other big bikes joined the action to chase students off the sidewalks. Three were arrested and three were sent to hospital, the most seriously injured with a fractured leg. To clear the protesters from the other building, police cordoned off two blocks on St. Catherine. They forced students out of the building’s entranceway and onto the sidewalk with instructions to “keep moving”. Six motorcycle police then rode past the line, pulled a quick u-turn onto the sidewalk, and drove into the picketers, forcing them to scatter and regroup across the street. The bikes and their riders took up the vacated picket line position in front of the building. Minutes later, another half dozen Montreal’s inposing biker cops arrived, with about 29 carloads of regular city police. Shortly thereafter students were confronted with the doubly frightening spectable of the Montreal riot squad, three-foot ‘matraques’ swinging at the ready. After several dispersal orders, the students proceeded to the first

occupied building, were confronted by another police line and left. A few hours later, the university administration denied calling for police intervention. Police then justified their activities on campus by saying the motorcycle cop surrounded at the parking lot had “panicked” and radioed for help. The building was consequently open for business as usual, but only about 46 students took advantage of the situation. No classes were given, and by 4 pm a circulating picket line of 100 was back in place-under the surveillance of just three police. The administration response to the morning’s violence was to obtain an injunction from the Quebec Superior Court forbidding picket lines w.ithin 566 feet of the UQAM buildings. Negotiations between the Comite d’organization Provisoire des Etudiants (COPE), which directed the strike, and the administration were broken off by the students pending withdrawal of the injunction. A rally of approximately 3,696 students monday night voted by a large majority to continue the boycott of classes. Students plan to campaign for support at Quebec’s community colleges (CEGEPs) and at other universities. On Sunday, a meeting sponsored by the pro-administration Silent Majority Committee attracted only 666 students in an attempt to mobilize opposition to COPE actions. However close to half of those were also against calling off the strike. Cope supporters are planning a demonstration friday at Montreal’s Palais de Justice. Ten UQAM students charged with disobeying the injunction will be appearing before the court at that time.

Planning

Pass-fail system denied I In a classic display myopic insensitivity, the planning f acuity have rejected a motion that would have instituted a pass-fail grading system for the only compulsory graduate course in the department. The issue arose last term when the first year graduate students initiated a discussion on the desirability of a pass-fail system. The debate concluded with the students approving, by a vote of 16 to 1, a pass-fail system for the compulsory planning course, 680. It was argued that planning demands a co-operative, collective sentiment and that an individuallyoriented grading system encouraged an individual as opposed to a group effort. In addition, it was felt that grading is rather arbitrary in nature since the evaluation process, to some extent, is dependent upon the subjective

Despite many exciting public appearances by council candidates such as the one shown here, the student electorate .was not inspired to a great level of interest or involvement in choosing their student “government”.

perspectives of the person doing the grading. Some- grads cited examples of the same essay receiving different grades depending on who marked the paper. The only apprehension to a passfail system was that it would minimize the opportunity of receiving scholarships and jobs. But it was-eventually decided that a pass-fail grading system should be implemented at least for the one compulsory course. Hans Blumenfeld, an eminent planner and the instructor for the course in question, argued in favour of the pass-fail system, stating that due to the large size of the class and his minimum exposure to the students (he is here only % day per week), it would be next to impossible to justly distribute grades. Nor did he feel that the existing grading system had anything of substance to commend it. On the basis of this overwhelming support, a motion asking for the implementation of a passfail system for this one course, was brought forth at a faculty meeting. The faculty, however, were not convinced of the merits of the students’ position. Waffling in a sea of pedanticism, some faculty argued that if a pass-fail system was implemented for this course, it would eventually have to be implemented for all courses. Where would it stop ? What of the reputation ‘of the school? It was pointed out to the objecting members of the faculty, that the institution of a pass-fail for the only compulsory grad course in no way set a precedent for other courses in future years. It was also pointed out that the geography department had been operating their counterpart to the compulsory course of the planning department, on a pass-fail basis and did not appear to be suffering any ill effects. But the objecting -faculty members, couched in their dogmatic attire, persisted in their objection and the motion was finally dealt its death blow, by a vote of 5 to 3 against it. Again, the actions of the planning faculty have failed to reflect the mature and rational aspirations of the students and, some of the faculty members themselves. The f acuity , meanwhile, profess the necessity for “citizen involvement” in the decision making process. Again, they have demonstrated the sad irony of their inability to organize effective involvement in the operation of their own department. But the most prodigious aspect of the whole scenario is the insensitivity of the planners to in_ novation and experimentation. The continuing urgency of the enviromental dilemna is a convincing witness to the inability of current approaches to meet the

challenge. Obviously, experimentation with new programs and perspectives is essential. It is a sad state of affairs when the planners will not even attempt a minimal innovation _ in their educational program, especially when the specific innovation appears to be an attractive and efficacious alternative. Indeed, it is no wonder that ourenvironment is in a state of continuing decay. -tom

Student numbers down again

Hot election flush Well, for those of you who slept through it, the 1973 student council election is over, undertaken as it was in the usual grand fashion. The U of W hotbed of radicalism saw a “piss poor turnout” in the words of George Green, chief returning officer for the federation of students. In arts, fifteen per cent of the electorate showed up to exercise their prerogative; in engineering twenty-two per cent. Science and mathematics boasted a hefty ten and sixteen per cent respectively. Renison topped everybody on campus with a thirty-three per cent turnout. One hastens to add however that this percentage represents thirty-three out of 107 people. Council representatives from other parts of the campus were acclaimed.‘ It seems inconceivable that such a remarkable lack of interest in student politics should take place on a university campus, traditionally the starting base for activism on all levels, in the past. But this fact has been driven home in the last year-that the people here are primarily , interested in the pursuits which have been clearly laid down for them by those who retain the power of control over their lives. The “wisdom” of the directorate does and will continue to be met with respect and blind acceptance until. . . Anyway, read the results. These people are your nominal representatives for the coming year.

TORONTO (CUP&-The University of Toronto (U of T) and the University of Ottawa are the only Ontario universities to emerge unscathed by a province-wide decrease in 1973-74 university according to data applicants, released by the Ontario universities applications centre. Not surprisingly, the province’s smallest institutions were hit hardest. The enrolment numbers game is of crucial concern to the universities. Government funding of post-secondary education is determined by the number of students atrending the institutions. Seven hundred more students than last year have indicated U of T as their first choice, about the same number as last year picking Toronto as their second and third preferences.

The new program calls for direct student involvement in all levels. Students currently have no legal say in course content and development. Subject material, project and course content, presentation and many other areas “will most definitely involve student directly,” Nason claimed. “Many students know more about such things as science than their teachers, because of outside studies”, the deputy minister said. Student involvement leaves the door open for special programs of local interest which will provide educational stimulation, something sadly lacking in Nova Scotia schools. One of the dramatic changes will be the inclusion of “free schools” into the established system’s plans:For the first time, they have been included in the province’s budget. The new program will also establish a teaching resources clearing house, a directory which will collect resource material and give teachers access to information from other sources. The program was drawn up by Professional DevelopmentAssociates, a firm of educational consultants commissioned by the province government in 1970 to work on the plan. The report was submitted in 1971 and is now being studied by a steering committee of teachers, members of the community and other educators. Interestingly enough, students are apparently not being consulted. “These included.curriculum development and implementation, and in-service pre-service training” for teachers, and “allocation and utilization and roles of The consultants said several problems must be resolved before

Student voice to be heard

(CUP)-A new HALIFAX education system involving direct student participation in course content and development in all grades may be implemented in Nova Scotia. The broad new system, a considerable change from the current traditional educational process, is not expected to be fully implemented for several years. But former education minister Peter Nicholson has approved the system and the new minister, Allan Sullivan, says he has given formal ministerial approval so pre-implementation work may begin. Successful implementation of the new system, called “A Total Educational Program Development System for Nova Scotia”, lies with classroom teachers, students, and the community. It is important that directives and policy formulation come from these areas, said deputy education minister Harold Nason, because if they “come from the department the whole idea will be ruined.”

PIZZA

any new program could be successful: Many serious communication problems were evident in the present school system’s operation, they said. “These included curriculum development and implimentation, pre-service and in-service training” for teachers, and “allocation and utilization of teaching resources and roles of responsibility.” The education department had shown considerable improvement in business and financial aspects of the education system the consultants said. But it showed less concern “with education and related budget performance.” Many of the details are still unclear and it remains to be seen whether implementation of the government’s consultant initiated “new plan” will in fact represent a creative input into a malfunctioning ‘educational’ system.

Comment

Foreign students threatened On december 28, 1972, Mr. Robert Andras, Minister of Canada’s Department of Manpower &, Immigration, announced new non-immigrant entry records & employment visa regulations, to be effective january 1, 1973. These, however, do not affect Canadian citizens and landed immigrants.

fws

New employment visa regulations for persons on student visas: 1. the student must obtain an employment visa to work after january 1, 1973. Any violation of the regulations can result in fines of up to $500.00 and-or imprisonment up to 6 months or deportation from Canada. 2. the student must obtain a letter from the employer specifying: a) nature of employment; b) place of employment; c) duration of employment; and d) name of employer. 3. the student must present this letter to the nearest Manpower Office &make an application on a prescribed form. The job offered will be assessed in relation to the condition of the current job market. The student will be unable to obtain the employment visa “if there are Canadian Citizens or landed immigrants qualified & available for the job”, and “if there is no reason to believe that that the prospective employer will not, for a reason relating to the nature of the employment, accept a Canadian Citizen or landed immigrant for such employment,” i.e. the objective is to grant visas only when Canadian workers are not available. 4. if the Manpower officer signs the prescribed form, the student must present it to the nearest Immigrant Office. Decision will then be made as to whether the permit will be issued or not. Our appeal Many of us depend on the income obtained from a summer job to supplement assistance from parents & family, or personal savings brought from home. There are talks that tuition fees

for foreign students will be doubled soon. The financial assistance obtained will thus be far from adequate. This, topped by fast inflation, the current necessitates the need of a summer job to make ends meet. On the other hand for a number of professional degrees, working experiences are required for the successful completion of the outlined program. It would be impossible to finish the prescribed course without valid employment visas. Besides, all of us have already devoted tremendous effort, time & money in hope of. a Canadian education. The Canadian people have already indirectly partially contributed for our education. It appears inconsistent with this previous attitude of goodwill to now the further jeopardise education of these students & in so doing to write off the mutual investment in resources & goodwill already made. In view of the difficulties that student-visa holders will have to face in the forseeable future, we hope as many Canadian universities will join us as possible to make this appeal. Above all, we would also like to extend this ’ pledge to the University of Waterloo Administration. Nothing can be better than having support from our own university. university students’ ternational

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR RESEARCH ON STUTTERING

fe e dbac k :t:::t:;::::r::z:: c ter line. For legal reasons, -letters must number. A pseudonym will be printed if you have a good reason.

Review “ignorant slur” I should like to take issue with a number of the claims made in Pete Smith’s article on the development of the “classical” style. Many of the readers of that article are probably not very well educated in music, and they may well take Mr. Smith’s word as authoritative; if so, they will be left with some quite erroneous impressions of the music of the periods he is discussing. TO begin with, fevv statements about the causes of changes in musical fashion are safe. Whether the music of J.S. Bach sounded to the people who “oppressive” I heard it is very dubious indeed. But Smith uses the adjectives to characterize ‘solid teutonic’ the music, and not just the way his hearers allegedly heard it. ‘I wonder if he meant ‘stolid’? The word ‘solid’, if used to signify certain musical virtues, is indeed applicable to Bach, but equally so to Haydn, Mozart, and any great composer.) At any rate, there is nothing ‘teutonic’ about, for instance, the Bach Suites for Orchestra or the Brandenburg Concertos : they are recognizably German, to be sure. But ‘teutonic’ suggests a certain grimness and that just isn’t characteristic of Bach’s secular music. His cantatas and so forth are another matter. _They might strike an audience as ‘teutonic’, I suppose. But the decline in their popularity is as likely to be due to the fact that contemporary ‘audiences did not understand them as that they found them oppressive. Audiences of today, notoriously, rather like them. J.S. Bach is surely by miles the most popular composer in churches these days, and has been for probably fifty years or more. To dismiss the music of Rameau, Couperin, and Delalande, among many others, as ‘flowery and bombastic’ is really an ignorant slur. I don’t know how much of this music Mr. Smith has heard, but much of it is remarkably attractive. A recent recording of Rameau’s greatest opera has been applauded as the resurrection of a major masterwork in the pages of record review magazines. In any case, the style of Rameau and Couperin was certainly not the domin ant one in the classical era. That is quite a distinct development. And it is quite wrong in any case to dismiss a style as being shallow. Generically speaking, at any rate, the style of Mozart and Haydn is similar to that of innumerable lesser composers of the era. But to think of the works of those two a masters as being “shallow” would be to disqualify one from being worth listened to on these matters. Individual works of music are great or small, profound or shallow; the style in which they are written doesn’t determine this, one way or another.

Finally, for heaven’s sake, why encourage the record companies in their effusions of muzak-oriented “greatest hits” of great composers? If you want to find out what Haydn or Mozart is all about, sit down and listen to an entire symphony or -concerto, oi; whatever. Try, for example, Mozart’s Serenade for 13 wind instruments, K. 361, for example, or the Divertimento for violin, viola, and cello K. 364-two supreme masterpieces written in formats that are supposed to be merely entertaining. Also, do not neglect the middle symphonies Iof Haydn. A particularly good reason for not doing so is the appearance in successive volumes of the complete symphonies of Haydn on London Stereo Treasury (a cheap label, by the way) under the baton of Antal Dorati. The late and wellknown symphonies tend to be performed in a style more appropriate to Brahms, and this is death \ for really classical music. The wit and geniality, as well as the elegance, charm, and formal mastery of Haydn are wonderfully exemplified in these earlier works, such as nos. 55, 73, 82, 67. Oh, yes, one more thing: J.S. Bach did not adopt the style of his sons or of - the classical era in his later life. Absolutely not. There isn’t one single bar of Bach’s later music that shows the slightest tendency in that direction. I can’t imagine what might have led Smith, or any of his sources, to make such a statement. His earlier works are, if anything, much freer and less inhibited than his latest ones, none bear any resemblance to the rococo, Mannheim or classical styles. jan narveson

Response to Narveson (At the frenzied insistence of Paul Stuewe, the Chevron’s Senior Music Crit we passed this letter along to hi k for replv) While some of Jan Narveson’s points are well taken, we are running Pete Smith’s articles precisely because most of our readers “are probably not very well educated in music,” as we feel that he writes in a style and at a level of difficulty which will attract those who find that Jan Narveson’s reviews assume a rather high degree of musical sophistication. At least two of Narveson’s comments indicate that he did not give Smith’s piece a very careful reading. Smith’s remark about the “oppressive” nature of Bach’s music clearly refers to the French

’

aristocracy rather than “people” in general, and is hardly “dubious” to anyone familiar with the music favoured by the French court during this period. And to state that 6‘ ‘teutonic’ suggests a certain grimness,” aside from being a _highly idiosyncratic definition, surely reveals more about Narveson’s prejudices than it does about anything contained in Smith’s articles. More disturbing is Narveson’s method of argument, which often confuses assertion with proof. To characterize Smith’s opinion of the music of Rameau et al. , as an “ignorant slur” is, aside from being a rather ‘ignorant and slurring remark in itself, uncognizant of similar attitudes held by numerous musicologistsalthough since several of them are “teutonic”, perhaps their view are too “grim” for Narveson. Likewise, his statement that “J.S. Bach did not adopt the style of his sons or of the classical era in his later life” is a dogmatic utterance on a thoroughly moot point, as attested to by the contrary assertions of several musical authorities (including Joseph Machlis in The Enjoyment of Music, a text used in first-year music courses at U of W) . The point is not that Narveson’s opinions are necessarily wrong, but rather that he implies certitude in areas where there is considerable debate and discussion; he has every right to voice his particular view, but he has no right whatsoever to imply that it represents some sort of‘ absolute consensus of scholarly sources. Finally, Narveson’s objections to “greatest hits” albums are illustrative of that sort of snobbery whose effect is to ensure that the audience for classical music will remain limited. While it is no doubt sad that most people cannot jump right into the classics, the fact remains that sales of classical recordings comprise a very small fraction (4-5 percent) of the total market, and thus some sort of popularizing effort is necessary if this is to change. It is unfortunate that people such as Jan Narveson, who obviously possess a good deal of musical knowledge, have not directed themselves to that end. paul stuewe

On febiuary 16 in this space we were treated to a letter by Steve Silverstein. He took this opportunity to mention- that Andy Telegdi bought votes during the presidential campaign. I can only assume that he was referring to the posters advertising Andy’s candidacy. This assumption is based on a conversation I had with Steve the day before the election on which he denounced the other for their adcandidates vertisments. I am now however; very puzzled because upon returning to campus on Monday Feburary 26, I noticed signs telling of Steve’s candidacy for Arts Rep. Due to this situation I wonder does Steve intend to write a retraction to his “Election” letter or simply attempt- to find out whether or not the average aftstudent will vote for a hypocrite. chuckdandy arts

Parking lot bandit busted Someone told me once that sixty per cent of one’s education in university is social. The rest is academic. Maybe so. Personally I have always tended to discount the percentage angle, and believed that the largest portion of any education involves learning the system, or playing the game, if you will. For those of us who are fortunate enough to have cars at university, part of playing the game means lea’rning to play the parking game. Today I learned a new aspect of that game. Those of you who are keeping track of these things may remember that a year ago my car was towed away (from a no parking zone, admittedly) just before Christmas. I paid the eight dollars and drove away wondering why I bother with the education bit when the owner of the tow truck was driving a Lincoln Continental. That was a year ago. This year I was sure that I had the last laugh over both the towing company and the securities people. Wrong again. I still have a lot to learn. The vestigial remains of my rock n’ roll bandit days include a set of 8:55 x 14 tires. It is beside the point I that as a stoplight cowboy I was an utter failure, since my nine year old Plymouth never did have the strength to pull teeth, never mind traffic lights. The point is, however, that these indecently large tires raise the car high enough off the ground that there is a considerable amount of daylight visible beneath it. In fact, the ground clearance is such that I am enabled to drive over curbs, small children, hills, and the boundary which defines one side of H parking lot. Aha, I thought, I use the Humanities building, which is

immediately adjacent to H parking lot. Although I have never won a street race in my life, I could see no point in putting to further, complete waste, an otherwise completely wasted youth. I thought, in other words, that I would put my 8 : 55 x 14 tires to good purpose. The technique I developed is only a little bit detailed. In the first place there is a certain amount of secrecy needed. It would just not do, for example, to be seen by the securities people, or by the man in the kiosk. For one thing, they would likely want to know why I was vaulting the ‘curb instead of paying a measly quarter to go through the gates. A good point, that. One can also readily imagine them saying something witty like: “Training for the Baja 500?” Or: “Forget your key?” Of course there can be no adequate answer to these questions, although at one time I could have suggested meekly that I was always taught to cross at the crosswalks (but sometime last year they put in steel posts at the crosswalks to stop such nonsense). Anyway, back to the technique. The possibility of a daylight break-and-enter is simply and definitely out, for obvious reasons. But at night its a horse of a different colour, so to speak. I would make an exploratory run down the ring road past the H lot to case the joint. Having ascertained that the machine gun installations were ‘empty, and that the searchlights were looking the other way, I would then be ready for the break into the pen. Driving slowly down the ring road on a second run, I would check the rear view mirror for a “tail,” and the road ahead for a cruising security cop. If the conditions were right, then I doused the headlights, swung the wheel, and eased the car slowly but surely over the curb (glancing furtively to the left and right in George Raft fashion) into the parking lot. Once inside the lot, I drove around a couple of times in order to wear the fresh snow off the tires, since the tracks could be traced to my car, and would be an easy give/ away. It tiorked just swell for a long time. There I was, beating the system left and right, and saving quarters hand over fist. I might add that I giggled with glee every time I jumped the curb. Securites people, tow trucks, administration be damned. I had stumbled upon the perfect crime, Until tonight. Tonight I came out of the Humanities Building to find that my car’was gone. The jig’s up, I thought. Sure enough, a check with securities proved that the car had been towed away to the Bauer compound, which is somewhere just this side of Heidelberg. I suppose that in the final analysis, it all balances out. I mean, if I did the illegal entry thing forty times, then the ten dollar towing charge was covered, right? But here’s the moral of the story: there are no shortcuts to higher education. Although I had diligently and regularly covered my tracks with regard to Securities Section, I had not thought about other potential informers (“There is no such thing as the perfect crime.” Dick Tracy’s Crime-stoppers Textbook, Volume 1, first. paragraph). When

I vas leaving the Securities Building to get my car, I asked the man,/j&t for fun, what had given me away. -Here is what he told me, and you can take it for what it’s worth : “A colleague of yours. Somebody who has an H sticker. He thought it was unfair that he had to pay to park there, and you didn’t. Said he thought it .was his duty...” Well, fair enough, I guess. Maybe he had a fight with his wife today, or maybe he drives a Toyota or BMW with no ground clearance at alI. I don’t know. So much for him; for me it’s back to the drawing board. Anyone want a drag? Or how about a set of IQW mileage 8:55 x 14 skins, in good condition, cheap? john lyon english

S.S. vs A.T. round three The time has come to take a long hard look at t@e pinhead who will be running our next Federation. This letter will try to elucidate some facts hitherto masked by the flowing rhetoric of Andrew P. Teledgi who henceforth be known as “under-the-table-telegdi”. It seems the prerequisites for attaining our highest office are egomania and five hundred bucks to blow. But of course we all know U.T.T.T. is a man of honesty and integrity. One wonders if the judge whom U.T.T.T. appeared before last thursday would agree with the preceeding statement. The anxiety of an upcomming court appearance would have shaken a lesser man, but U.T.T.T. took this in stride as he did his $12,OOO deficit in promoting rock concerts. Rumours around “headquarters” are that U.T.T.T.‘s first act of office will be to double his own salary. His main reason for running was to take revenge on a certain “N.K.“, for having turned down fifteen of his applications for turnkey positions. This idea started as a fantasy in a warped mind and mushroomed into insanity. Since his election U.T.TI T.‘s main drives have turned primitive and he seems to be preoccupied with contemplating the coital favors of cooing co-eds (I wouldn’t believe it but there are groupies for everything). In summary, his election is not that surprising looking at the incompetence of past Federations and their fiascos. U.T.T.T. will sit well in company of other amorphous cool fools past and present. U.T.T.T. does have one redeeming social quality which is that in time he will be biodegradable. P.S. To those who think my objection to spending money on campaigns is invalid and to those who have seen my signs for arts council rep, however few and_ far between they may have been, take note that there is a difference between buying an election with five hundred dollars as A.P.T. has and spending three dollars to keep my name from being too overshadowed as I did. Thank you. Steve silverstein arts

Recently the following article was submitted to the chevron; while the opinions presented do not represent the viewpoint of. the chevron staff, we are printing it at this time because it raises important issues concerning the nature of the modern university which deserve public attention. We hope that these views prompt response and rebuttal from other sectors of the community. We also hope to present another look at the same questions in the near future. by Anne

Ever since I was born, one or two members of my family have taught at universities in Canada, so I have never regarded these institutes of higher learning with unrealistic reverence. Even so, I have been amazed in recent years with the increasing acceptance of the dishonest and bigoted behaviour that goes on at universities in southern Ontario. One expects them, perhaps unreasonably, to adhere to standards of integrity greater than those upheld in business and in government. But the mad enthusiasm with which they have entered the market place indicates that they are afflicted with no such old-fashioned hang-ups. Their current shrieks for money, which until now they have spent with reckless freedom as long as there was any to be gouged from the governments, I find quite disgusting. Their willingness to teach anything to anybody, as long as it is profitable, is quite incredible. They are ripping off the public in major ways, while, by their silence, they hope to benefit by the good things most people still believe about universities. I can think of six cliches which have circulated about universities and professors in the past, but which are now often ludicrous.

Professors are poorly paid Several years ago a survey of teachers’ salaries, including those of professors, revealed that they averaged about $6,666 a year. I did not notice any professor disclaiming this amount, although many must have been surprised at the figure, since few professors earn less than $11,000 a year and many receive more than $35,660. Many professors work hard; but for the work they do, the salaries of many other professors are fantastic, especially since their work is not dealing with essential services-they can cancel a few lectures or meetings if they feel under the weather, or stay at home to babysit so that their wives can have their hair done. Most people believe that professors are paid primarily to teach more or less quiescent students. _ (There is not the high risk of being shot by a dissatisfied student as there seems to be in India.) Yet some of the most highly paid professors who prefer administrative work do not teach at all, preferring to hob-nob instead with other university executives across the country. Few professors give more than three full-year courses a year, and many give fewer than this, perhaps several lectures a week. They argue that each lecture takes many hours to prepare, which is true, the first time the lecture is presented. After it has been give several years in a row, preparation time is small. A mathematics or language teacher may enter a classroom to lecture without having looked over his notes at all beforehand. Most professors teach for only six or seven months a year. The rest of the year they work too, doing research, they insist-and without research no one can keep abreast of his field or be a good teacher. But is such research really work, as most people know it? The problem that the professor is studying is almost invariably one that he made up. Few other people in the whole world want to know the solution to it. He has shown enough interest in some academic field to spend years of graduate work in research without pay; often he continues to work along the same lines when he becomes a professor. I myself spent two years studying giraffes, paying my own way and covering my research costs. Why should anyone else do this, when my interest in this species is in effect a hobby? As Carlyle said, “Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. ” When, during the five non-

teaching months, an anthropologist leaves the campus to visit a distant tribe of Indians, a French professor departs for Paris or a biologist g,oes diving for fish in Bermuda, I do not feel that they will be overworked. I think that they are incredibly lucky to be doing what they love most to do, and to be paid handsomely for doing it. A minority of professors give their courses, sit on a few committees and do nothing else at all. If they were given tenure, as most were until recently when universities stopped expanding, they have no real obligation to do anything else for the rest of their lives. They can only be fired for gross incompetence or for “moral turpitude”, an undefined “wickedness” (Oxford Dictionary) which is seldom perpetrated.

The student comes first As a professor, I was amazed to find that many of my colleagues regarded teaching as a necessary bother. “I have no time to waste on undergraduates,” a full professor told his class. One professor cancelled the last weeks of his lectures one year because he became bored with the course. “The information is all in the texts, anyway,” he said. (Professors are very good at rationalizing everything they do, usually eloquently.) Another went to the Mediterranean for a conference in term time, cancelling all his lectures for more than a week to do so-“ It’s good for students to learn to work on their own.” Various engineering professors go to the West Indies or to the United States for-weeks or months to do consulting work, for which they are lucratively rewarded, in addition of course to their regular salaries. “It’s important that I keep up with recent . trends in engineering, so that I can pass them on to my students,” they say. Philosophers and mathematicians often go to resorts to work. “I can think there as well as anywhere.” Which may be true, but students cannot be taught well from a distance-not in any discipline.

University research is vital Many laymen bow figuratively to the word “research”, feeling correctly that without it they would have no electric lights or decent medicine or national freedom. But all research is not of Nobel Prize calibre; indeed, virtually none of it is. Few university researchers work on incredible new devices or on how to produce babies in test tubes (as if we are not doing well enough already the natural way.) Science research at universities is well supported by the federal government-this year they gave $76 millions toward it-but most of it is pedestrian at best. Who wants to know how a baby mouse swims or how its swimming style changes with age? Who cares how fast a dandelion grows with increased selenium around it’s roots? Why study changes in gas pressures of unpronounceable gases at slightly different temperatures? One thinks of Jim’s current academic work in Lucky Jim by K. Amis on “The economic influence of the developments in shipbuilding techniques, 1456 to 1465“r “It was a perfect title, in that it crystallised the articles’ niggling mindlessness, its funeral parade of yawnenforcing facts, the pseudo-light it threw upon non-problems.” Eventually all such knowledge may be important, but is each such project worth thousands of dollars as now virtually all of them are considered to be? Does Canada have the resources to allow thousands of professors each year to spend many millions of dollars d,oing their own things ? Such research should rather be

Universities have high standards Before 1960, universities usually had high standards. Why not, when interest in higher education was low and money was scarce? Within the last decade though, universities have shown rather different colours. Now that the money a university receives depends on the number of students that go there, universities have scrambled unbecomingly to attract students. One way to attract and keep students is to drop standards. Grade 13 results are still generally acceptable for entrance to Ontario universities, even though they mean less and less as the years pass. Often professors are told that they will have to raise their marks for various courses, since the department heads refuse to accept grades that would fail too many students. Thus although a professor may feel that a student has learned virtually nothing in a course, he may be forced to give him credit in it anyway. . Many professors take the easy way out to test ‘students, by giving them a multiple choice computer-marked exam or an oral test which only takes a few minutes. There are so many professors that eschew written essays that many students graduate who are unable to write well or to spell, who think “separate” has three “e”s. “Ah well,” they explain airily, “when I get a job, my secretary will change the spelling mistakes.” Poor secretaries, with their Grade 12 certificates. Another way to attract students is to offer “interesting” courses, which do not demand much work. (Anyone can do work, it’s the ideas that are important,” the students insist. Perhaps they feel that work may dry up their creativity.) Thus elaborate new programmes in environmental studies and recreation are being offered at many universities, fields with applied characteristics which would surely be more suitably taught at

blatant dishonesty of professors who accept money from chemical firms and then claim that pesticides do not harm wildlife is alI too obvious in many newspapers. No one in the world can swear to such a claim because at best no one knows and at worst the evidence is all too strong that pesticides have killed many animals. However the dishonesty may be much more subtle than this. Many people were shocked recently at the treatment of a friend of mine who had taught for four years in the zoology department at the University of Guelph as an assistant professor. She had been warned by the dean that she should not be optimistic about her future, because she had a family and lived out of town. When she might have been given tenure in 1971, she was fired instead. Five full professors in the department found her guilty, in writing, of four charges: a) Her teaching was claimed to be inadequate, although the professors had never .heard her teach, did not ask to study the content of her courses and refused to consult the evaluations her students had made of her teaching which showed her in fact to be a good or very good teacher. b) Her research was judged to be superficial, although no fault was found with any of her 25 published scientific papers. In fact, a later independent evaluation sponsored by the Canadian Association of University Teachers found her research efforts to be “excellent”. c) She was condemned for never having served on a departmental committee, which she had not. But as the vice president agreed, how could she serve on appointed committees when she, like the other female professors, was not appointed to them? d) Finally she was censured for often being unavailable, a misconception her setiretary was never asked to correct, although she would have done so readily. Indeed at the time of her firing, my friend was owed nearly $2,066 by the university for holiday time that she had not taken. The zoology depart- , ment rid itself of an unwanted female, but the career and self-esteem of the professor were destroyed and the morale of the other members of the department was seriously undermined. If full professors are willing to lie, as these men were, are their lectures and their research papers worth anything? Information in them may have been made up too. Why not? Since a university is a function of its professors, its honesty is in doubt too if the professors are dishonest. And if a university does not have integrity, what does it have? By its nature Iit has only its standards to define its qualities. If it gives a student a degree, one assumes that the student has learned a certain amount of information. But if one cannot trust the university’s assertion, the degree is worth nothing.

VIs her PhD of lesser merit then? Are the academic standards less for women than for men?” “Of course not. ” “If she knows as much and can teach and do research as well as a man, why does it matter if she is different? ” “Perhaps because she thinks differently, because of her hormones. It is hard to explain, but the difference is important.” This feeling then that he had about women, this intuition, was why they should never be permanent members of the university. He had no objections to a,woman teaching all of her life at a university, only that she should do so on a year to year basis, without tenure. I find this attitude incredible in a highranking professor, yet it is probably held by many who are less honest in admitting their bias. Otherwise how can one explain the fact that women teachers advance more slowly than men in universities across Canada ; that they are paid on the average $1,199 less for the same jobs, although they have the same qualifications ; that I have a friend who until this year was paid $5,699 less than her peers after 22 years of teaching-English? I think that the urgency of acquiring more women professors is even more important than that of hiring Canadian ones, but perhaps the policies are related. Of the three full ‘professors who I have openly heard declare sexual prejudices, all have come from the United Kingdom. What can be done to correct such wrongs? Five things, I think, besides encouraging women professors. l Salaries must be decreased, especially at the top of the hierarchy. When salaries are no longer

engineering can deal with problems that affect Canadian industries. Subjects like philosophy will be impossible to Canadianize, but a start might be made by hiring a few more Canadian philosophy professors. Of the 21 at the University of Waterloo, only three are Canadians. l Professors should not moonlight. No professor should take on work which pays him money beyond his salary. If he accepts such money, he must earn it, and the time spent doing so is time not devoted to the university. The temptation to fit in remunerative jobs in the large amounts of spare time between lectures must be overcome, because the university has already paid the professors for the use of the time. If he is nordoing research, he can attend committee meetings, chat with students, correct tests or think. There is a rule in many museums that museum collectors are not allowed to have private collections of their own, since the temptation to add a large gem or a rare butterfly to one’s own collection when it should go to the museum might prove too great. The same principle

I think today every rational person would agree that equal work deserves equal pay and that women are not inferior to men. Universities are quite willing to take money from women to allow them to’ work for degrees, even PhDs. But they have a despicable record in hiring women PhDs, even though this degree is uniquely suited for a person interested in a university career. In 1965, when I had three years’ experience in university lecturing and an M.A. degree, I was offered a position teaching a full-time university load for $4500. After all, I was a captive Waterloo housewife, why should I be paid more? Because of this I determined to earn a PhD, which I received from the University of Waterloo in 1967. I could not help noting at that time that although the university was expanding rapidly, mostly male professors were being hired. One department head said that he would never have a woman professor in his department, a vow he has been able to keep. At present the-science faculty there has almost one hundred professors, only one of whom is a woman. If girl science students are ever to-be professors, what sort of an example is this to spur them on? One dean was refreshingly honest when I asked him why a working mother would have trouble earning tenure at his university, as he had assured me she would. “You can’t give tenure to a housewife,” he said in a shocked voice, a housewife being any married woman with children, or perhaps any married woman at all. “Why not? ” “You can’t give a housewife a meal ticket for the rest of her life.” Why not, if you give such things to men? Is it the physical difference that bothers you? Would you give tenure to a grossly fat man?” This dean is one of the top scientists in Canada, so I wondered if his prejudice seemed rational to him. “Of course.” “Are you worried about her children, if she had them? ” “No, no,’ but women think and feel differently than men do.”

competitive, the wheeler dealers who have betrayed the universities with their facile glibness will fade away. The professors who use their academic positions as a base for their newly formed consulting firms will be less attracted too. The true academic will remain, poorer’ but less contaminated by his erstwhile’ colleagues. l Only people interested in teaching should be professors, and even administrators should be required to carry on their teaching, so that they do not lose touch with the students. The profession ’ should not longer be a haven for researchers who regard their courses as an unimportant aspect of their work. Researchers can go to the National . Research Council in Ottawa to work, or to industry. A professor is one who must believe that time spent with students is time well spent. l Mainly Canadian research should be done at the universities. There is enough of this to last for hundreds of years and if Canadians are not interested enough to do it, who will be? The botanists can study Canadian plants, the geologists Canadian minerals, the sociologists Canadian social problems, the zoologists Canadian animals. Disciplines like physics and chemistry and

applies at universities; if a professor earns money for preparing an analysis of an outside company for that company, he is more likely to do this than to set ‘and mark essays in his free time. Many professors claim, and validly, that consulting work makes them better teachers. Their aim should be to work as a professor half the time and as a consultant the rest of the time. In this way, * the students will be assured a fair deal. l All professors must be honest. If a professor has knowingly lied in such matters as students’ marks, his own work and whereabouts or the use of research grants, he should be fired. If a ‘scientist makes untrue statements to the press, his job should be forfeit too, since people usually believe what a professor says. There should not have to be a grapevine that says “the work of professor X is no good, ignore it”, as there now sometimes is among research workers. Universities should be among the most important institutions in Canada. But if they continue in their present direction, they will become flaccid and peripheral. Let them reform, so that a professor can be proud of his work, the student proud of his teacher and the nation proud of its universities.

.-why Rita J oe? There are no two ways about it. You either see or you don’t. And if you don’t everything you look at becomes a moving picture without depth, emotion, understanding, comprehension. Just as feeling indicates more than mere physical contact with an object or person, so seeing indicates more than mere visual impression. Dance demands a keen sensitivity and knowledge of the body. As movement based on human behavior, it creates, interprets, and determines a space-time relationship not only with respect to other human beings but to situations, events, obstacles. Traditionally, classical ballet has been a king’s entertainment, exquisite in form, technique, and style, but a spectacle nevertheless. Since the early 1900’s dance has seen new changes. Although still influenced by the technique and style we are familiar with in ballet, contemporary dance attempts to break through ’ the restrictions of highly stylized form to explore and experience new movement, new expression. Friday evening’s performance by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet displayed a comprehension of body language that was both innovative and traditionally graceful. However, it’s employment of various other media, such as film, narration, props, and facial expression, proved at times a little “too much”. Aside from determining how we communicate% is always important to examine what we communicate. So too with dance. In dance, the essential medium of the choreographer is movement. Unfortunately, in “The Ecstacy of Rita Joe” it was often difficult to remember that there was a dance going on. At times I wondered if it was film I had come to see or a play of booming voices.

Chief Dan George’s narration, although poetic, overshadowed Ana Maria de Gorriz’s expression of movement and often even hindered exploration of that expression. An exciutiating incident of such clash occurs when Chief George compares his Rita Joe to a dragon fly. As his voice bellows and quivers “higher.. . higher. . . higher”, de Gorriz, smothered in sound, fights for recognition with painful and melodramatic facial contortions. The love scene between de Gorriz and Salvatore Aiello (Jamie Paul) was beautiful amd moving, yet I wondered what the bed was all about, especially with its appearance on film after its apparent disappearance off stage. The choreography accompanying “sleeping hours” was especially good in this ballet of one act. Yet overal I “The Ecstasy of Rita Joe” revealed and< said little. If anything, it exploited a nebulous emotional empathy that might have been better used as insight into the indian question or indian way of life. Although the “message” of Rita Joe was that of an indian girl being swallowed by an ocean of alien surroundings, to swallow an audience by sheer sensual bombardment is in no way helpful. The most enchanting and perhaps enhancing part of the prOgram was the Pas de Deux Romantique performed by Marina Eglevsky and Sylvester Campbell. A departure from the conventional pas de deux both dancers remained on stage throughout their performance, each performing their particular variations in the presence of the other. The influence of mime and new dance provided innovation that was both refreshing and entertaining. Noticeably different was the maie’s contribution. Sylvester Campbell communicated a control and grace of movement reified only by his stage presence. Charming, open, expressive, he seemed to really enjoy himself. Pu lcinel la Varj.at ions was performed first on the program, with music by .lgor Unfortunately, the orStravinsky. chestration for this p!ece was poor and ony after overcoming sound difficulties could one enjoy the gymnastics and playfull variations of movement. Again, facial expression in this performance was too contrived and in total the exercise was a little too long. And then there was Rondo, a performance divided into five movements, each movement representing a variation of the theme “Conventions”, with six main dancers representing “a person”

in each period of convention. With “no story” and only the theme divining unity, John Neumeier’s choreography created change and contrast that was both evocative and challenging. Convention found, convention spoiled, and convention desired provided a relaxed, easy, soothing tension that was contagious and pleasing. Dance was graceful, poetic and inviting. When suddenly like a thousand sirens blowing, dance changed into chaotic, mechanical movement. There were traffic jams, weird contortions of new bodies, computers clicking, crowds rushing, people scrambling, horns honking. Confusion and turmoil had invaded the presence of six and now sixteen bodies created a force and space of incredible impact. I sat back breathless. My whole being felt invaded and abused, and even now days later images of sexually violated female bodies, bodies undergoing extreme nervous stress, remain with me as if part of a very personal experience. I was left disturbed and uneasy, yet at the same time genuinely surprised and appreciative of this new dance involving both ballet and modern dance movement. However, the unresolved question of impact and “message” leave me somewhat alarmed. Dance is a powerful medium and should be recognized as such. But power in whose hands and for what reasons? /J -Winnie pietrykowski

Emerald in a lead setting The Toronto Irish Arts Company draws its season to a close march 11 by offering “An Evening with John Synge”, directed by Siobhan McKenna. The production by Irish-Canadian talent is the test of the stuff and intent of what the Company alleges is the only such Irish Revival in North America.

march

2,1973

The purpose of the Foundation is to wed the irish imagination-which, according to their literature, would seem to have a monopoly on all the “fiery, and magnificent, and tender”and the Irish technique to Canadian talent. The separate and combined efforts of the professional “paycocks”‘ so far (Siobhan McKenna, Niall Toibin and Sean Kenny in “Here are the Ladies”, “Confusion” and “Juno and the Paycock”) have given the audience a one-sided picture of’ the crosspollination process. Typically ,enough, when the repertory company is finally afforded a fair hearing on its own away from the shadow of the imported “paycocks” it loses support at the box office. The Synge plays, “The Tinker’s Wedding”, “The Shadow of the Glen”, and “Riders to the Sea” allow the cast latitude to try humour, social comment and tragedy. Synge is fascinated with the Irish peasant’s dialect as a distillation of poetry, describing the speech “as fully flavoured as a nut or apple.” Most of the flavouring process depends on the actor. The cast, newcomers to the idiom, are consistent in it and may ripen with experience. The prize for the comparatively virtuoso performance, however, must go to the production crew. Designer Sean Kenny, with his propensity for stone as stage metaphor, creates ingenious cottage kitchens out of Styrofoam blocks and balsam -like beams that are whisked capably around during each intermission for different effects. David Banyan’s sound effects, from wind synchronized with opening doors, to crashing sea are skilfully executed. Yet director McKenna, though she may be a fine player-paycock on stage, is uninspired as director off stage. Her blocking of movement patterns is weak: from the tight circles she has Mary Byrne run in “The Tinker’s Wedding”, to the patently symmetrical and immobile array of neighbours during the wake in “Riders to the Sea”. McKenna compounds the weakness by her lack of attention to properties involving sophisticated stage business. Ineffectual and uneven attempts at spinning placed prominently on the stage and careless handling of hot baked bread are awkward. The costumes imported from the Abbey Theatre in Dublin give most of the stage colour to the women, who wear red skirts bordered by a band of black. This is consistent with McKenna’s vision of the Irish women as the lament and life ofD Irish literature. Originally the Company had planned to offer the late Jack MacGowran’s oneman show, “Beckett”, as a strong closing and calling card for the next season. Instead, the job is given to the repertory company. Stripped ofthe imported “paycocky plumage, can it stand alone? --Catherine

diction of terms If members of this community have any legitimate beefs, ideas or enthusiasm, Wired World Inc. of Kitchener should be able to help them out. As Waterloo County’s ‘community radio’, they state their intention to provide freedom in broadcast programming and production. Their goal on paper is to act as a ‘facilitator’ in teaching people how to use equipment and produce for themselves. The group started in June 1971 by offering portable television equipment to interested members of the community. Programs were then viewed on the community cable channel 12. Perhaps one of the most interesting programs cablecast was a series discussing the family.’ Area social workers, psychologists and housewives were involved. In that first year of programming, 185 different organizations used their The situation has now facilities. changed. Port-o-pat equipment is very expensive to operate, viewing accessibility is limited and channel 12 wasn’t very co-operative (paradoxically, as both parties purport to serve the purpose). However, Wired World equipment is now being rented out (notably to ethnic minorities such as the Portuguese community) and GRC12 gives them a one hour a week time slot for presentation. Understandably, Wired World has tuned in to radio. For over one year now, CHYM-FMdonates Sunday morning air time to Wired World programming. Thus far, productions have been varied: poetry readings, amateur music hours, community concerns (such as the Dare strike), children’s hours, satires and dramas. In, the latter category falls the recent presentation of Shakespeare’s ‘Richard II’. The two-and-a-half hour production was a pleasant variation from the usual predictable drivel that we digest. Richard II was remarkably well done, especially considering the group’s nonprofessional status and the relatively short time period required to produce it. Wired World estimates that 2,000 people lent their ears to their ‘Repertory Company’s’ inaugural presentation. Yet whose purpose is Wired World serving? Is there evidence to support claims of ‘cliquishness’ within the clan? Is this another put-on to the public? And . . . have individuals approached Wired World and been ignored, put-off - or apologized to? The answer is quite probably yes to all, which raises a question about ourselves. Why are we so frightened by structures and paranoid about anticipated hassles? When an institution (whatever the boundaries) builds itself around a philosophy, what is it that contributes to the decay of that original ideal? It seems clear that we do. But the beat goes on, and Wired World’s immediate aim is to establish a small, non-commerical (to c - FM station

Part of the family Going to a Bruce Cockburn concert is like seeing an old friend. I first heard him perform -almost three years ago, when his warm-up set at Massey Hall convinced me he was capable of becoming one of the finest musicians around; since then, I have seen and heard him in small coffee-houses, at and worn out ,his three Mariposa, albums. He has fulfilled the promise I first saw in him. . It is no use talking in “Canadian content” terms when discussing Bruce Cockburn-sure, he is probably the finest musical performer and writer in Canada today, but that is a backhanded compliment at best. Bruce Cockburn is quite simply one of the finest anywhere. The complexity and depth of his music and his poetry put him in a league above the more commercial “personal” artists like James Taylor or Cat Stevens. It is unimaginable to picture Cockburn in Madison Square Garden-at 7 bucks a throw-like Taylor, or playing in the echo chamber of the gym, like Stevens.

He has refused, so far, the tremendous pressures of the hyped-up music business; indeed, he is one of the few musicians around who remind me more of a musical “craftsman” instead -of a package put together by advertising agencies and recording studio engineers. He has released only three albums in the four years he has been performing solo, and is now working on a fourth. Cockburn’s music is personal in the finest sense of the word : / he writes about what he sees and has lived, he translates into lyrical poetic language and images the small, beautiful moments and things in our lives we come too soon to take for grantedsunsets, rivers, country roads, even the grotesque beauty of the big city. He does not write about imaginary revolutions or made-in-hollywood love affairs. Sunday night Cockburn was at his gentle best during two performances in the Arts Theatre. The theatre-in-theround setting proved to be just ._--right for him, and he and the audience responded to each other warmly and knowingly as Cockburn spun his lacefragile web of guitar lines around his hauntingly evocative poems, or simply beguiled his listeners with several guitar instrumentals. Switching through various tunings, he played the familiar “Sunwheel Dance”, a new and similar short piece called “Foxglove”, and an extended, seemingly classically-inspired untitled piece which contains the most breathtaking guitar work he has done yet. Cockburn continues to grow both as a writer and instrumentalist. His stage presence is the perfection of ease and naturalness. The sense of the sincerity of the man is overwhelming ; he can be smiling and whimsical while running through humorous ditties like the popular “Musical Friends” or the new “When the Sun Goes Nova”, or he can get deeply involved in his more serious work, a portrait of tightly-controlled fury while doing powerfully angry songs like “Going Down Slow” and “Dialogue with the Devi I.” Cockburn’s mellow Sunday’ night offering was just the right perscription for those of us who have given up packing into the People’s Place echo chamber of late, no matter who was playing there. If the “new” board of entertainment makes good its promise to make these smaller concerts a regular happening on campus, we can look forward to more enjoyable concerts in the near future. -george

Failure

writing flimsy, escapist books he calls “entertainments” rather than “novels”, on the other he has emerged as one of the world’s leaders and initiators in-the field of literature. It is not very surprising, then, that the movie made from one of his most recent books, Travels with my Aunt, should prove to be a very schizophrenic production itself. It is at the same time aromantic high comedy and a serious study of relationships and class outlook. It is every bit the see-it-andforget-it family movie, but it’s main character is an aging prostitute who spouts obscenities and thrives on living outside law and convention. Unfortunately, rather than succeeding on both levels-as a rare few movies, such as Cabaret or The Americanization of Emily, have managed to do- Travels either fai Is at both or succeeds very haltingly in only one, depending on how you approach it. The plot is a fairly silly and contrived one, not worth retelling here, but-as usual with Greene-it is the characters who come to life and attach themselves to you in this film. Maggie Smith does an enchanting, if sometimes overacted, job of portraying the unsinkable Aunt Augusta, joyously flirting about the world surrounded by thieves and police, never bothering to look one step ahead, living on dreams of life and love past and refusing steadfastly to grow old. Sadly, she is also cast in the same part for the flash-backs to her younger and th.e transition is not days, favourable. The middle-aged Maggie Smith looks joltingly out of place among innocent young schoolgirls or elegant young prostitutes. Alec McCowen, as her nephew Henry, plays his difficult part to the hilt, and much more seems to have earned an Oscar nomination for acting than Maggie Smith. But Hollywood never has listened to me, and probably for the better. Augusta, full of gusto and clinging tenaciously to every moment and every experience life has to offer-convention be damned-and Henry, meek play-bythe-rules assistant bank manager, seems to illustrate the two faces of Greene’s own personality and outlook. During Greene’s life, he has lived portions of both those attitudes, and the question of which is preferable is left an open question here, too. But the cards do seem stacked at the end in favour of Aunt Augusta’s hearty approach rather than Henry’s dahlia garden in suburban London: Going only by the mutterings caught while being funnelled out of the theatre,-% Travels seems to have failed to satisfy either those out looking for an easy two hours entertainment or those looking for something a little more substantive. There are too many dead spots, too many drawn-out scenes for it to qualify as a fast-paced zany comedy, and too many light spots to score any points on the something-to-think-about-after\ wards meter. -george

This acclaimed Canadian movie perhaps brings us one step closer to understanding what there is unique about Canadian films.

Except for Mon Oncle Antoine, ’ good Canadian films seem to present a view of mankind that has very few ups, only downs that become deeper and deeper.

friends fear their husbands, are ordered about by them, even beaten at times. Jeannie Dougal and her friend Dol’ly play a reverse ’ game-meeting boys at dances, humiliating them and then leaving them on the door step. But this game is one which can only end with the two girls becoming victims-Mrs. Dougal 20 years later. Friendships only seem possible .. between man and man, woman and woman. Dougal and his friend Sandy retreat to the basement to drink-their beer away from the nagging, worrying women. The _ women gather upstairs over’ cake and a “wee cup of tea.” In these groupings there is r&al affection and understanding that can not be found in the relationships between the sexes. The film revolves around 16year-old frail, mousy-looking Jeannie Dougal (Carol Kane). Her . superb performance is matched by Donald Pleasence as her father, a veteran of the first world war whose friends and social life revolve around the legion hall. Jeannie becomes pregnant as a result of being raped by a soldier friend her older brother has brought home. Her feeble ability to become a person able to stand on her own is totally destroyed since a girl “in trouble” during the forties is, in her own father’s words, just a “Slut”. The double standard that exists for Jeannie and her older brother is hardly remarkable since it is so normal. Dougal can go drinking with his son, share dirty jokes with him, admire obscene postcards because, of course, Dougal has done his own whoring in the past. But Jeannie is expected to remain ’ pure-and no man would touch her now. And to seal Jeannie’s doom, Dougal refuses to believe that his son’s friend was responsible because “soldiers are men of honour.” Wedding was written and directed by Bill Fruet (previously screenplay writer for Goin’ Down the Road and Rip Off). Excellent performances by the supporting actors give depth to this extremely realistic film. Especially good were Doris’ Petrie as Mrs. Dougal, Paul _ Bradley as the son and Doug McGrath as his friend (Bradley and McGrath were both in Goin’ Down the Road.) -deanna kaufman

The other side of darkness b

Don? read this on- tobacco .: Presently playing the mid-night shift at The Picture Show are three films the stories of which are adaptations of pieces by Edgar Allen Poe. All three movies are, regretfully, miserable failures in this area. In the first flick the only redeeming charact&istic (if indeed you feel this to be positive) is the fact that we have the opportunity to observe some of Jane Fonda’s early attempts to act. Also in the film is Peter Fonda who still hasn’t learnt. There is no percepti ble plot ; nor is it a stream of consciousness play; no vigorous, or even living, theme; the acting is poor and the production method might appeal to a few slow seven year olds but even they wouldn’t find it suspenseful. There is a very subtle incest theme running through the movie but only if the audience is familiar with the fact that the two major protagonists are related in real life. Unless you are a very devoted Fonda buff and are interested in viewing some of their early development, this movie leaves a lot to be desired. The second picture has to do with a man dealing with his alter-ego. This movie at least has a plot, even if it does ring hollow; its theme is even less substantial. The credits show Brigette Bardot as one of the stars but she is featured in one scene only in a role peripheral to the development of the plot. The story begins by showing us the antics of a sadistic little pisspot in a children’s military school. In one miserable scene he is feeding the-stillattached toes of a schoolmate.to rats in a vat; enter onto the scene a syrupy male Pollyanna, who saves the day. A similar situation occurs a number of years later when the sadist is in medschool and wants to perform an autopsy on a beautiful young blonde who is still alive and awake; enter once more the good guy to rescue the proposed victim.

On the third interference, a number of years later, this grotesque sadist murders the goody-goody only to become the victim in the all-tooexpected twist in plot. The third showing is a Fellinl film which the credits claim is a “liberal” adaptation on another Poe story. The tenuous connection with the original story provides a slender excuse for Fellini to once more inflict on celluloid his masturbatory imaginings. If this is any consolation to those who are still Fellini fans the very last scene of this movie does have a bril t iant and unexpected twist. For me, one excellent scene out of -three movies is not toogood, it may be par for the course these days but still, it is not good. ’ The only possible interest these. movies may have for an audience is of an esoteric sort for those bent on seeing some of the early fumblings and unsophisticated performances of the odd actor who has now, become a polished arti‘st. These movies are an insult to the work of Edgar Allen Poe, a writer who was a master of horror, suspense and language. Poe wrote in the late nineteenth century and his writing reflects his life in a cruel society where creativity was a quality held in little esteem. Unable to adjust, excessively sensitive, Poe was finally broken physically as well. His creativity and sensitivity remained to the end, as witnessed by his excellent prose and poetry, yet he died an ignoble death of acute alcoholism and mat-nutrition. A man destroyed in life only to be misused in death by the commercialism of the film industry-the story reflects much of Poe’s own cynicism. The p’ity of it all is that the injustice done his work at the hands of cinematic butchers will probably turn people off reading this great author. -mel

Want to acquaint yourself with the now legendary perverse Swedish temperment? lngmar Bergman’s ‘The Ritual’, now playing nightly at 7 and 9 at the Picture Show, wiII provide an excellent source. In this film we can r@ionalize ourselves out of any social implications much easier than we can; for example, with ‘Shame’ or ‘The Sil‘ence’, if only on the grounds that the trio’s theatrical powers transcend ‘ordinary’ bounds. That not all is comprehensible within the framework of human interaction is explicit in ‘The Ritual’. We all have our masks, our complications, our irrational moments. And here, in consistent Bergman style, we descend a step further into the depth and intricacy that is man. Realism announcing itself or preoccupation with morbid connotations? Beyond a certain immediate human warmth does cruelty alone dwell? Are we free only to the extent that we can free ourselves from the grasps of others? Not exactly capricious thoughts, nor did Bergman intend them to be. We are deprived of witnessing any action arising from purity of motive in ‘The Ritual’. All appears to be based on pretext, spitefulness, -or hate. Bergman’s violence, as in the quasirape scene, do seem to take the edge off the film’s gentility somewhat, but this surely doesn’t justify that violence. Then again, we start to question whether physical violence is of a ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ order (if we can make such an arbitrary distinction), than is spiritual violence. The Swedish director’s films are usually generously sprinkled with both. Thankfully, not all human relationships are as intense or personal as portrayed in ‘The Ritual’. And hopefully, man’s mind is not so twisted or bitter. The film is entertaining insofar as it is insightful into other mentalities, and especially into that of lngmar Bergman. -Susan

Radio empire benefit

The Perth County Conspiracy w<lI play a benefit concert at the Waterloo Lutheran Theatre Auditorium on Friday, March 9 and Saturday, March 10 at 8: 30 Pm* They have consented to play on behalf of the Canadian Campus Radio (CCR) organization as a benefit concert. The funds raised in addition to expenses will be used to purchses materials needed to produce CCR’s magazine over the next year. CCR, which was formed at the Canadian Entertainment Conference in Waterloo last November, is the first national communications link between the seventy-five campus radio stations in Canada. Also involved are such interested parties as the Canadian.Television Commision, The Canadian

Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian University Press and many other related enterprises (both commercially motivated and otherwise). Although the magazine is not the most desirable medium of communications for the radio stations, it is a fitting start. “Congrats to Canadian Campus Radio for their latest thick issue of CCR. Issue three contained 30 pages and was well worth the wait.” RPM Weekly March 3, 1973 Of most importance, CCR has been weIt received by the campus radio stations and it is being contributed to by writers from all parts of Canada. The magazine containsfeature articles about programming, political dreams and bitches, technical expertise and other required bits of information. Possibly a good example would be Gerry Wootton’s article about systems approaches to studio and console design. Another example is an article by CAPAC (Canadian Association of Players and Composers) about the future of the Canadian recording industry. Tape lists from any station are printed for the purposes of enticing free-form exchanges between stations. In several cases, thi’s has already been acted upon. Several possibilities exist, which make CCR very important in the future. Production and distribution of the material of very good, alas little-known, Canadian artists could be much closer with the campus radio stations providing the machinery necessary to accomplish the task well. News from each campus could be rapidly distributed with better connections. New ideas in production and most important of all, of program content wi II be accessible to all stations as time, people and the organisation progress. Non-profit community broadcasters with equal status wiII benefit from the organisation. Because of the nature of the organisation, the publication, which incidently is assembled (I chbse this word because we are using Waterloo’s finest to edit the material) at Radio Waterloo, is distributed freely to all who wish to subscribe. The production costs are not prohibitive because of the volunteers comprising what is loosely termed the ‘staff’. The benefit is being held to ensure financial support for the materials necessary over the next year. Tickets are available at all of the regular outlets in Kitchener-Waterloo and the twin campuses. The cost of one ticket is $1.50 or $2, if you desire. Come out and enjoy the Perth County Conspiracy each night and support Canadian Campus Radio.

Lancers oust Warriors again The Windsor Lancers became the 1973 OUAA basketball champs when they slipped past the Waterloo Warriors by a 76-75 score in the championship game played in Waterloo Saturday. Windsor had beaten the Laurentian Voyageurs 104-60 the night before in their semi final game. The Lancers were very \ accurate from outside, as they ran away with the game from the start. They didn’t do too badly from the charity line either, sinking 18 of their 19 attempts. The half score was 49-24 in favor of the victors, who kept up the pressure in the second half on the way to their rout. Laurentian players, especially Paul Mousseau, missed a lot of easy buckets which, if they had been converted, would have made . the score more respectable. Walt and Bill Lozynsky led lancer scorers with 23 points each. Warriors were in the final game by virtue of their 73-61 win over the Carleton ravens. Waterloo didn’t look impressive despite their win in the not-too-exciting game. They played inconsistently-sometimes very sharp, ,other times poorly. Waterloo got off to a great start with an 11-O lead near the beginning. With five minutes remaining in the half they were in command 32-12 but then they relaxed and Carleton fought back to bring the halftime score to 36-28. The second half was similar to the first as Warriors built up a 26-point margin, 58-32 in the first 10 minutes, then saw it dwindle to a final lead of 12 points by the end of the game. Moser and Bilewicz led warriors with 16 points each, while Jon Love topped the Raven scorers with 14 points. Windsor took an early lead in the championship game but the Warriors battled back to catch and overtake the Lancers by halftime, when the score was 41-36 for Waterloo. Mike Moser played well in this half for the warriors, especially near the end when he scored 10 of Waterloo’s last 11 points, bringing his half total to 18. In the early going of ‘the second period, the Lancers took a slim lead, but by the time 10 minutes had passed the Warriors enjoyed . their largest lead of the game at 6254. This joy didn’t last for long though, as Windsor outscored Waterloo 12-2 in the next three minutes to regain the lead. The Warriors retaliated with seven unanswered points, but then the Lancers put in eight in a row to lead, 74-71. With only one minute remaining, Waterloo banged in two baskets and took back the lead, 75-74. The Lancers brought the ball downcourt and were able to get a shot up but it missed. Everything looked good as a Warrior pulled down the rebound, with only three seconds to play, but the referee signaled that there had been a foul and Windsor’s Gerry Sovran was awarded two free throws. He sunk them both to finish off the scoring. Waterloo tried to score on a long shot, but could only come close. The game proved to be one of changing momentum. Both teams were very evenly matched and were ready to play. The factor that was to decide the game, however, was time; that is which team would be ahead after forty minutes. For the second time in four meetings between the two teams this season, Windsor was ahead at the 46minute mark. The first change in momentum seemed to be initiated by Mike Moser as he began to take control

of the defensive boards and set up the fast running game at the 7minute mark. In addition, he was quick in getting down the court and picked off several easy tip-ins. With 5 :46 left in the half, Waterloo had caught the Lancers and moved ahead. The Lancers, however, at no point had fallen asleep. They caught the Warriors with four minutes left in the half. Instrumental in their attack was Bill Lozynsky who shot six for eight from the floor, most of thich were from about eighteen feet. Both teams shot a fair 43 per cent from the floor. Waterloo held the lead on the strength of hitting 13 of 14 foul shots in the half, which, judging from the season, was quite a feat for them. The Warriors stretched out their lead to 62-54 with 11 minutes left. At this point, play was getting very rough. An incident was nearly provoked when Bob Simons foolishly tackled Hogan in a scramble for the ball in which Simons didn’t really have a chance of getting. It was a stupid incident and Simons was fortunate in getting away without a technical. Late in the game the momentum changed again, and Windsor charged back with three straight baskets before Waterloo called a time-out. After the time out the Warrior defence forced a Windsor turnover and fed the ball up to Ed Dragan. Dragan held the line for the lay up and made a pretty move to squeeze between the two defenders. He was fouled on the shot by Chris Co&hard and scored to give the Warriors the lead. Dragan missed the foul and Windsor recovered, going downcourt for the lost shot, which resulted in the foul and the winning free throws. There was no joy in Mudville that day. Mighty Casey had struck out. But, Mighty Casey had put on a good show. All-stars of the tournament, choosen after the championship game, were Mike Moser and Paul Bilewicz of the Warriors, Bill Lozynsky and Bruce Cot&hard of the Lancers and Jon Love who plays for the Ravens. Very early on Saturday morning, Carleton Ravens and Laurentian Voyageurs met in the consolation final in the People’s Gym. On the previous evening both teams had been defeated by obviously more skilled teams from the western division of the OUAA. Their poor showing then and the early hour of the morning provided the teams with considerably less than a hundred spectators. Of those who did show up, only about ten or twelve who had travelled down from Sudbury seemed at all interested in the outcome. True to expectations, the game was dull and even the players seemed infected by the general lack of enthusiasm. Both teams were evenly matched; that is they matched turnover for turn-over and sloppy play for sloppy play. Laurentian took a considerable height advantage into the game but was unable to control the boards, and in fact seemed physically weak. The shorter but more aggressive Ravens had no trouble controlling most aspects of the game. Had they been able to attain a little more poise they could have run away with the game, but they couldn’t. In the first half Carleton shot 32 per cent from the floor and Laurentian 30 per cent. The first half ended at 34-33 for Carleton.

In the second half both teams seemed a ’ little more aggressive, perhaps realizing that this was the last game of the year. Play improved considerably but not to the point where it could have generated excitement among the spectators. The lead changed hands several times during the half, but the consistent shooting of Jon and Drew Love for Carleton proved to be the margin as the Ravens edged ahead in the final two minutes for a 77-72 victory.

Ice Warriors get the Blues The regular season of the OUAA hockey league has drawn to a close and the final standings in the western division found Western in first place with 28 points; Waterloo Warriors in second place with 22 points ; Guelph Gryphons in third with 20 points; Windsor Lancers in fourth with 18 points; McMaster Marauders in fifth with 16 points; Lutheran and Brock mired in the last two spots with 6 and 4 points respectively. The OUAA al&star teams were also announced and in the western division they were dominated by Waterloo Warriors. On the first team were : goaltender-Jake Dupuis from Waterloo; defensePeter Paleczny from Waterloo and Dick Oudekerk from Western (his fifth consecutive time on first allstar - team) ; centre-Mike Guimond from Waterloo; left wing-Ejay Queen from Windsor ; right wing-Dave Farago from Guelph. The second all-star team was: goaltender-Scott McFadden from Windsor ; defense-Phil Howard from Western and Ken Tyler from McMaster ; centre--Gary Coons photo by dick mcgill

from Western; left wing-John . Marshall from Guelph; right wing-Russ Elliott from Waterloo. The OUAA will stage its championship hocket tournament starting tonight. It is being hosted by the Toronto Blues, since they own the trophy and most of the organizers, so it seems. The four teams that survived the quarterfinals held Tuesday will be vying for the league title. The scores and winning teams in the quarter were: Western 7, Windsor 1; Waterloo 7, Guelph 0; and in the eastern section Toronto 8, York 2; Laurentian 5, Queens 4. In the Waterloo-Guelph encounter, the Warriors were nothing less than sensational, forechecking the Gryphons into the ice with great fervor. Goal scorers for the home towners were: Cam Crosby Roger Kropf, Frank Staubitz, Ron Hawkshaw, Jim Nickleson, Bill Stinson and all-star Mike Guimond. This was the last league game for six of the Warriors, who will be graduating. Getting back to the play-off scene, the first game is tonight at 6 : 36 and has the Warriors taking on the hometown Blues in their own back yard. The second game is at 9 p.m. and matches Western and Laurentian. The two winners will meet on Saturday night for the OUAA championship and the right to advance into the regional playoffs toward the CIAU championships. The OUAA winner will meet the winner of a series between the Great Plains athletic conference and the Canada West UAA at the home of the latter series. This regional series between the western winner and the OUAA winner will take place on March 9,10 and 11 (a best of three series). While the OUAA is playing in the west, the QUAA will be meeting the AIAA winner at the home of the AIAA team in the east. A final single game for the CIAU championship will be held at the home of the most westerly winner of the semifinal played in the west. While the OUAA league schedule has drawn to a close, it is worthy of note to mention a few of the Warriors’ accomplishments. They ended the season in second place, they led the western division in the best defensive average, allowing only 63 goals ; were second only to Western in offense with 135 goals scored in 17 games ; Jake Dupuis and Murray Child combined for the best goals against average; Mike Guimond led the team with 16 goals and 24 assists for 40 points (very close to the league lead for 1 points-final stats not released yet). -gordy

Championships tonight

The squiring of CIAU action starts tonigh‘t at 7 when the Lakehead Nor’westers;“the western Canada meet the Quebec chamrepresentatives, pionship team, the Loyola Warriors, in the first semi-final game. Lakehead has four americans on their starting five and two more in their reserves. The team from Thunder Bay captured the Great Plains conference crown and then defeated Alberta 76-54 and 69-61 in the only two games of their best-of-three series. Eleven of Loyola’s 12 players are from south of the border, a fact which caused several teams in their conference to forfeit the games which were scheduled against them. They bombed Bishops 86-60 to advance to this tournament. At 9 tonight the St. Mary’s Huskies from the Atlantic Conference and the OUAA’s Windsor Lancers go at it. St. Mary’s also rely heavily on American players as nine of their players-including the starting five-are from the US. They defeated the favoured Acadia Axemen 64-55 in their playoff match to make it this far. St. Mary’s features talented Lee Thomas, who averaged 14.5 rebounds and shot 55.8 per cent, the second best percentage from the floor in his conference. The best shooter is also a Husky, also an American, guard John Gallinaugh who made 60.6 of his field goal attempts. Everybody knows how Windsor got to the finals. They will have their hands full, with stiff competition from all sides. The consolation final is at 10 am Saturday with the final game at 2 in the afternoon. ’ Over half the players in these games will be Americans, but basketball is basketball, and if you aren’t particularly worried about the infiltration of Canadian basketball by Americans or even if you are, they should be very enjoyable games to watch.

Today we are living on a suffering earth. Through the use of herbicides, artificial pesticides, fertilizers and a decreasing awareness of the ecological chains, man has succeeded in throwing the natural world out of kilter. It is too difficult to .prevent plant disease and attack without relying on manmade chemicals-at least that is the view of many chemical firms. The easiest method of protecting vour slants from ailments is simply’ growing them in healthy al

--~

soil. Healthy soil is that which is ideally suited for ‘the individual plant. Once you have a plant established in good soil with its proper companions and reasonable care, you should have no trouble from disease or pests. To understand the simplicity and truth of the above statement you must also have a knowledge of common agricultural practices. The rule of thumb for the industrial farmer is that of mono-culture, chemical feeding, and protection

friday,

and extensive care. In the first place, mono-culture promotes the growth of viruses from plant to plant and acre to acre. Plants are often seeded and left to grow untended. This summer, my brother planted corn in two close rows. Mine, planted 8 feet away, was widely placed apart. His corn developed retarded ears and rot while mine remained untouched. Many of the larger corn fields in the,area were also in poor shape. The only replenishment. the hard bare earth received was in the form of chemical fertilizers and old corn stalks. Sometimes, although not generally, the field was manured in the spring. Chemicals wreck the ecosystems of the soil. A cursory survey of animal inhabitation in these chemically treated fields revealed no below-surface animals. Ten shovels of soil revealed no worms or bugs. In the. area where there were the beginnings of a compost pile, two worms were found. In our garden, in one shovelful, we found almost twenty worms. The soil needs the many organisms, earthworms and bacteria that are often killed by chemical herbicides and inhibited by chemical fertilizers.

How can you make sure that your soil is healthy? The first step is using natural fertilizers. The main types of readily available fertilizers are compost, animal manure and rock minerals. These release nutrients usually missing in chemical fertilizers. Humus and other organic matter which aerates the soil are another extra natural fertilizers have to offer. Pesticides and herbicides should not be used in the garden. Instead, rely on insects such as ladybugs and preying mantises and birds. Plants such as chives, pot marigolds, pyrethrum, asters, chrysanthemums, garlic, cosmos, and others, effectively keep pests and stray animals out of the garden. The best herbicides around are your hands. Use them to pull out “weeds,” or if you don’t want an aching back, then mulch Some popular your garden. mulches are wood shavings, straw, leaves, grass-trimmings, paper, corncobs and peat moss. These keep “weeds” down, in the process of natural organic decay,__ and retain soil moisture as well. There are some safe artificial insecticides-natural roots and plants that have been ground up. Ryania proves quite useful in combatting the coddling moth. A decoction of kelp has also been

march

&I973

found useful in keeping apple trees free of pests. The most widely used safe insecticide is rotenone which has a short period of effect, does little harm to the soil, and is not dangerous to birds, pets, animals or humans. Soap (not detergent) can be diluted and sprayed over plants infested with aphids or lice. Aphids on african violets can be quickly removed by spraying them with a mixture of diluted soap, water and the water from cigarette butts. After the violets have been sprayed let the mixture soak in for about fifteen minutes and then heavily spray them with warm water until all traces of soap are gone. This treatment leaves the plants free of pests and in excellent condition. It may be hard to apply the above methods to the indoor garden, but it is possible. The skill you must acquire in order to be successful is the correct measurement of compost, mulch etc. in proportion to the size of your garden. It takes time but it’s worth it, -kati

\ With two huge wagon wheels at one end of the uniwat pool and kingsize cowboy boots at the other end with the words, “Keep on Truckin Waterloo” there was no way the warriors swimming and diving team wasn’t going to perform- out of sight. The host club had two goals in mind before last weekend’s OUAA championships and both were met and surpassed. One was to come second to the powerful university of toronto squad, who picked up their thirteenth straight league title. The warriors placed second scoring 327 points. Toronto had 567 while western, who the warriors had never beaten came third with 363 points. The other team goal was to get as many men to the national championships as possible. No less than half the team, nine competitors, are now in Calgary swimming in the combined CWIAU-CIAU finals. The warriors have only had one national qualifier in each of the past three seasons. The men at the three day championships are tri-captains George Roy, Doug Munn and Rolfe McEwan; Jim Low, Eric Robinson, Bruce Murray, Ian Taylor, Dave Wilson and diver Lester Newby. Eight athenas are also at the nationals making the uniwat contingent one of the largest from any Canadian university . Last weekend’s meet was capped by, what most coaches said,*was the finest relay swimming ever seen-and it ended in a warrior victory. The last event on the program at the OUAA’s was the ,866 yard freestyle relay, an event the university of toronto has only lost once in 50 years. It was a school tradition to always win that event no matter what. The uniwat foursome of Bruce Murray, Rolfe McEwan, George Roy and anchor Ian Taylor went head to head with the blues all the way. Murray, leading off lost a little distance on toronto’s first swimmer, McEwan stayed even with his man, George Roy picked up a tenth of a second on his man and when Taylor dove in at the six hundred mark he was a full body length behind. Taylor, one of the finest swimmers in the province, steadily picked up ground on Shawn Laarie and then on the final turn with only 25 yards to go caught up, passed him and tore home. At the finish he ,,

was a full body length ahead. The gold medal -performance was clocked in 7:37.6, a team record, while toronto came in at 7 38.2. Taylor, in his initial year ‘with the warriors, set an OUAA record half an hour earlier in the 466 yard individual medley, winning in a sensational 4 : 34.6, breaking the old standard by over a second. On the first day of competition the splashers also struck gold, but it was off the boards. Lester Newby, one of Canada’s outstanding up and coming divers, won the one metre competition outpointing the defending champion Doug Darling by four points. This was the third time in a row Newby has defeated Darling in competition this year. The swimmers, even though picking up only one gold- did have an outstanding day friday. Eric Robinson and Dave Wilson came two-three in the 266 yard backstroke, while Jim Low won the consolations. -All three swimmers went life time personal bests and Robinson set a new club record of 2 :07.9. Wes McConnell of western won the event in 2:05.5. Doug Munn set a personal best performance and just missed a team record in the 266 yard individual . medley. Munn ended up fifth going 2 : 13.0 while Bill Kennedy, a. member of Canada’s Olympic team, won the event in 2:05.5. Ian Taylor set a new warrior record of 1:52.2 and a life time best placing third in the 266 yard freestyle. In the 260 yard breaststroke mcmaster’s newcomer Rob Jones won in 2:21.9, far off the OUAA record, however Doug Munn, swimming one of his best meets, placed a terrific fifth. The long 1650 yard freestyle saw toronto’s Shawn Laarie, John Sebben and Dave Chutter make a clean sweep of the event, however Taylor, and Rolfe McEwan picked off fourth and fifth spots for the ‘Lwarriors. George Roy finished sixth in the 200 yard butterfly, the first event on the card, and going a terrific 2 : 98.2 seconds. Byron MacDonald, another Toronto swimmer who isn’t too bad, won the event in a new CIAU record going a fast 1: 55.9. This also established a new Ontario record which had stood for nine years. MacDonald is just ranked fourth in the world in butterfly so you can see what the rest of the league are up against. Other top performers for the

smashed

warriors on the initial day were Rolfe McEwan in the 1650 and the 200 yard freestyle where he finished sixth. His time of 154.0 in the heats was three seconds faster than he had ever gone in his life. Bruce Murray also did a fine time of 1:56.0 and made it on the national qualifying standard with his performance. Richard Knaggs just missed the standard by 1.5 seconds but still set a lifetime best time by over three seconds, when he went 1:57.5. Third place was picked off by the warriors in the only relay event friday, the 466 yard freestyle. Toronto won this one going 3 : 19.8 but the uniwat foursome of Wilson, Henry, Murray and Knaggs set a new team record. The warrior’s team momentum continued on into Saturday with Lester Newby placing second to Darling on the three metre board. Newby had the lead going into the final dive but the western diver pointed sevens across the board to win the gold. The 566 yard freestyle was taken by Dave Chutter of toronto with team-mate -John Sebben right at his hip. George Roy picked up the bronze and set two warrior team records. The new 566 mark is5: 12.5 while the new 466 yard time, set going through this race is now at 4:O8.8.

Bill Kennedy won the 100 yard backstroke in a quick 56.3 seconds while Dave Wilson placed sixth and set a new club mark of 59.1 in the afternoon heats. Jim Low and Eric Robinson were ninth and tenth respectively. Wilson also picked up a fourth .place ribbon in the 400 yard individual medley later Saturday evening. The event as mentioned before was taken by Taylor. The blues, although upset in the 866 free relay, won the 466 medley relay by going 3 :46.9. Mcmaster placed second while the warriors came fifth with Henry, Munn, Low and Robinson. The warriors’ second-place finish in the championships was the highest placing ever with this being just the fifth year of swimming at Waterloo, all under the coaching of Bob Graham. Coach Graham said before the meet the men could end up anywhere between second and fifth

before the meet started, but now with a weekend of what he called ‘: just sensational swimming” the warriors are one of the top swimming powers in Canada. The OUAA league is by far the toughest swimming conference in the nation and qualified nearly half of the 109 swimmers and divers that will appear in the Calgary nationals. To come second in Ontario means that the team will likely, if all goes according to plan, end up no lower than sixth, and possibly quite higher. Toronto is expected to win it all however, as last year’s champions, McGill has a very weak team this season.

Athenas

eight

The strong Athena team includes captain Judy Abbotts, Joy Stratten, Sue Alderson, Maida Murray, Margaret Murray, Liz Saunders, Chris Lutton and Maryanne Schuett. This squad of pure dynamite is gunning lfor the top but will be strongly challenged by ubc and acadia. The west coast club will be exceptionally hard to beat as they have a number of Olympic swimmers and a diver who won the western conference title. seventeen The Waterloo swimmers are being assisted, like all national qualifiers, by the university and the Department of Health and Welfare’s Sports and Amateur Fitness Department. The government pays 75 per cent of the air fare while the university pays the room and board. Without federal assistance it is doubtful if any national qualifiers in any sport would be able to attend such a meet.

The University of Western Ontario continued to dominate the OUAA Squash Championships for the third consecutive season as they compiled a 27-3 record in the round-robin tournament held last weekend at york “university. Toronto and York, the only other universities that had a chance to overtake the ‘Mustangs 5’, came in second and third with 23 and 20 points respectively. Queen’s university took fourth place with 17 wins to their credit, and the Waterloo warriors followed with 13. McMaster won all their matches against trent to get their total of five points and trent was unable to win a match. On the third day of the competition, western met the toronto team and as the matches were being played, it became evident that western would repeat as team champions. However, the top individual award was in doubt up until the second last match of the tournament. There were four contenders and they provided the spectators with perhaps the best and most exiting squash ever played at the university level. In fact, all the matches that they played against each other went to the limit of five games many of which went into overpoints. , The Waterloo’ team repeated their output from last year’s tournament with 13 wins, however, ’ they dropped one position as #Queen’s overtook them this year on the fine performance of Fenn. Abe Ibrahim and John Cushing, who are the only players graduating from the squash team this year, played well for the warriors. Ibrahim, playing at the number 3 seed, won 3 matches and he came close to a couple more as he went five games against Nathan (York) and Wright (toronto) before losing to them. Gushing played steady throughout the tournament at the number 5 seed and had impressive wins over Irvine (queen’s) and Dickenson (York), but could not handle the power hitting of western’s Kim Vaughan. He had 4 wins against two losses. The other team players, Doug MacLean, John Frederick and Peter Armstrong won only two matches each, all against mcmaster and trent. Frederick had a marathon match with Stu Watt of queen’s that lasted for one and a half hours-the score : 17-18, 15-10, 15-9, 16-18, 15-11 in Watt’s favour. An english squash tournament will be contested on the week of march 19. The tournament is open to everybody affiliated with the university. Entry sheets are posted on the squash ladder and deadline is march 14. Please read the entry form before signing; if there are any questions contact John MacDonald at 7445812. -john

Urban and regional planning directorship

Sorting This week, the three students on the director search committe for the school of urban and regional planning prepared a brief on the director selection process, their feelings and experiences the decisionmaking process in general and a course proposal. The three were Don Sinclair (4th year undergrad) Greg Spearn (2nd year undergrad) and Libby Street (2nd year grad). Their intention was to clear up and misin“some misconceptions about the process that terpretations arrived at the present choice as new director for the School.” They describe the selection chronologically as follows:

process

On Wednesday, march 29, 1972 the inaugural meeting of the director search committee was-held. The members agreed criteria for the selection must be established and would be delineated at the next meeting. The second meeting, on april 5, Kamel Sayegh was chosen as chairman. A draft list of four criteria was discussed. Peter Brothers was quoted as suggesting “the university is tending to take a stronger stand in regards to Canadian citizenship.” The third meeting april 12 agreed on five criteria for applicants for the directorship : l be a planner with professional and academic experience who has administrative capabilities ; a have a degree, preferably a graduate degree in urban and regional planning or in a closely related discipline; l have some Canadian experience; l share with the school and the division of environmental studies their concern with broad environmental issues; l be prepared to commit himself fully to the administrative, teaching, and research function of the school. A deadline of September 1,1972 was set for applicants. At the fourth meeting on may 11, it was announced that R. Dorney was chosen as acting director for a year. (There is no mention in the brief of how or by whom this choice was made.) Faculty were solicited and showed approval of the five criteria. Ten media for advertisement purposes were chosen. The fifth meeting, held September 20 reviewed the 40 applications which had been received. Confidentiality of applications was discussed and supported. To reduce the number to a short list of (preferably) five candidates, each committee member was to rank applicants before the next meeting as: outstanding, It was i good, maybe, poor or impossible. moved and carried that applications after the deadline be accepted. The October 3 meeting eliminated 24 All members names on this basis. rankings were held equal. Discussion narrowed the list to ten. A faculty meeting on October 13 nominated two department faculty, Kyo Izumi and Tim Burton for the directorship. The seventh meeting of the search committee accepted these nominations and narrowed the short list to seven. On October 31, the list was again reduced to four outside candidates and the ,two internal. Visits of these candidates to the faculty were discussed and ‘letters of recommendation requested from each. The ninth meeting, October 16, confirmed visits for some candidates and set up an itinerary for the first The november 23 meeting discussed that visit and revised the itinerary. Number eleven saw the withdrawal of one of the final candidates, leaving five. Between november 20 and january 25, students, staff and faculty had an opportunity to meet all five candidates formally and informally. They were given the opportunity to express their preferences by voting. On monday, february 5, 1973, voting took place within the committee by secret ballot. Sydney Saltzman was named first choice to be recommended to the faculty. _-

0ut

the coniplexities Meeting number 13 saw discussion of the faculty vote’. Although the .vote showed plurality acceptance ,of Saltzman, the committee “(a) was not entirely clear that the vote (was) a clear mandate for Saltzman; (b) was faculty aware of what was meant by the vote “acceptable or not acceptable”? (It was assured they were).” Saltzman was recommended by the committee to vice-president academic, Howard Petch. Since that last meeting, Saltzman was contacted, advised and has visited campus again february 19 and 20, 1973. He has until march 6, to make a decision whether he will accept the position. From this chronology of events, the student brief proceeds to a more subjective look at their collective reactions. “To begin with, there was an inadequate attempt to educate the school as a whole as to what the director’s job members was all about. . . The student were accepted on the committee “to present a unique student viewpoint and make sure the faculty didn’t make any glaring omissions in their deliberations” (or something like that). It was pointed out that this was a concession of faculty toward students.. . . . . the faculty, since they control the information of their respective disciplines, are in an ‘obviously’ superior position and sit in faculty meetings to determine the teaching of that discipline and much of the administration that goes with it. Student participation in these decisions is not seen as relevant except where it affects students directly and even there, such participation is rarely ‘freely’ given by faculty but must be acquired by students. “When the school of planning set out to look for a director there was no question from any quarter as to how this should be done (though the undergrads did question the procedure used to choose the delegates-a question which could have opened up many more questions). “Though faculty and students had delegates on the search committee, the school as a whole was to a large extent left out its own planning process. The committee mechanism may have been necessary to handle some of the administration of the search, but there was no general discussion throughout the school as to goals, priorities, directions: there was no prior attempt to honestly evaluate the issues within the school and to search for and choose a‘ person [or a process] to fit the apparent needs. Such a

process would, without doubt, have been of benefit to both faculty and students and ’ such a process is still needed. 4b. . . a large part of the final ‘decision (of the committee) was made keeping in mind: (1) that whoever we bring should be looked at as a tenured professor more strongly than as a director of a Canadian planning school; (2) that / the director would spend much of his time fortifying the graduate program (whatever that means). “The acquisition of student participation spoken of earlier implies a certain amount of student awareness and willingness to put in the work required of participation. . Yet in the words of one professor; “we aren’t teaching Lincoln’s who’ll walk miles for books. We’re dealing mostly with students who need every goddam encouragement they can get.” 6b. . . There are other decisions being made daily in the school of planningteaching positions, curriculum review, budgeting, space allocation, guest lecturers, ad infinitum. It is our belief that an exposure and definite participation in the making of these decisions would add immeasurably to the education of a student of planning, thereby strengthening the reputation of the , school, the communication between

From this point, the brief moves to a consideration of the value of student representatives on search committees for directors and chairmen in the university. They point out that “this is only the faculty and student and the ability of the , second time that students have had student to deal competently with the representation on a search committee” on planning environment in Canadathis campus, and hope that “from our including its ideology. experience on the committee some “One of the first steps then, is for guidelines can be established to ensure faculty and staff to open to the students worthwhile student representation on information on administration, ie. what is future committees of this type.‘! the decision-making set-up within the They further criticize the fact that “the school and what decisions is it making? committee was led to believe that there Perhaps offer would be a better word. were no internal candidates” until the last day of the nominations when two were put Students have some knowledge but it is forward.

brutality: “thut+‘s hockey” Ttio weeks ago, I drove my fifteen year old brother to his hockey game. He lives in Toronto and plays there at an arena called Leaside Community Gardens. Every sunday afternoon, his team, the Mack Trucks, plays another team. in the house league-ages fourteen to fifteen. The game on Saturday night was the all-star game; a team picked from all the players in the league. My brother was to play centre. That Saturday night, we drove him to his first game with the all-stars. He expressed a lack of enthusiasm about the game because of the team’s disorganization. He did not know whom he was playing or at

what time, but had simply been told to be there at 9:30. An early arrival sent my friend and I into the stands to watch a game already in progress. The teams playing when we entered were slightly younger than my brother and showed a definite lack of speed and finesse. It was a fairly unexciting game as there were few obviously good players. Sitting beside us was a pretty, fashionably dressed mother who would timidly cry out from time to time, “Go, Danny!” to her son somewhere out on the ice. Her husband was a little less timid. If the rather ordinary Danny so much as hesitated for a minute, a stream of invectives poured from his mouth, as he loudly informed his son exactly what he had done wrong and what he should do next. The team coach even had to occasionally ask him to keep it down to reduce the tension. The coaches themselves were into their own power-trip, proudly wearing their hockey jackets emblazoned with ‘Leaside Community Gardens’. They did not simply admonish a bad play but thoroughly crushed the player who had somehow missed the puck as it slipped by. Their only sign of approval was a quick, brief pat on the back and their only advice an occasional “Hit him!” My brother said to me graphic

Ballots were taken from both faculty and students to indicate their preferences of the candidates before the search committee met, and faculty and student represen’tatives could use this information when they voted for the candidates. The faculty had the opportunity to vote after the candidate had bee? chosen but there is no mechanism to allow studelits to express their views about the candidate. The student representatives on the search committee urge, therefore, that in future selection processes the students be given to state whether a chosen’ I’ the opportunity \ candidate is acceptable or not.” Drawing on their experience, the students offered the following five recommendations : l That students be included in all search committees for new directors or chairmen of departments within the University of Waterloo. l The process for chasing a director or chairman be clearly defined so that internal candidates be evaluated before external candidates be considered. l The process for determining a director be re-structured so that the faculty and students make their opinions and feelings known. l A student vote be- &ken after the search once, “In all the years I’ve been playing hockey, I’ve never once had a good coach. They never tell you things you should do, just if it’s good or bad after you’ve done it.” As the game progressed, and the players began to look more and more dejected under the constant heckling, the pretty lady next to us turned and said to me, “It’s all so real here, isn’t it?” David’s team was soon out on the ice. They were older, faster, and a lot more confident than the preceding teams and put on an impressive warm-up show. Tonig.ht the Leaside All-stars were to play the Don Valley Village team. The game began. All the players on David’s team were good and they knew it. ‘There was very little passing, many ‘go for glory’ brea kaways and demonstrations of artistic temperment. Trouble started when a player on the Leaside team checked an opponent heavily, if legally, against the boards. The opponent, eager for retaliation, slashed back and was subsequently penalized. He was indignant to say the least, swearing at the referee and muttering about strange rules in this end of town. The checking got rougher and rougher and the penalties built up. The Don Valley Village team suddenly produced a late arrival whose ankle guards were laced on reverently by the coach. This brute skated’ into play as soon as he was ready. Penalties reduced Leaside’s numbers to three, which placed them against five from the Don Valley Village. My brother scored a goal at this point, which rhade me very proud. Despite odds against them, the Leaside team continued to score as the play became rougher. I was becoming worried about David, although he had so far managed to avoid getting hit very hard. Suddenly he was down on the ice, with the big player from Don ‘Valley standing over him, waving his stick above David’s head. The coach for the all-star team was a young man, in his twenties, and seemed very cool about it all. He did very little coaching except to change the lines often and test out his players, uncaring of the outcome. The tension mounted to incredible heights, as the game was obviously going to end in favour of Leaside. Don Valley was fighting it. The bell rang with an overwhelming defea’t of Don Valley. Then, everything happened. Suddenly there were more than eleven players on the ice, all of them crowded around the Leaside goal. Two of them ripped off their gloves in true dramatic and professiontil style and started fighting. The referee stepped in and was pulled down to the ice so that the three of them were entangled

a candidate to committee has chosen determine whether the candidate is acceptable or not. l Students become more involved in the administration of their department by: (a) Initiating a course similar to the one outlined below. (b) Students obtain equal representation as faculty on all commit&es within their department. The final sectiori of the brief is a course proposal for the planning school drawn,up by Greg Spearn. It is now being further worked on by a group within the faculty, and will presented to the members in its final form sometime within the next week. In his introduction to the preliminary proposal he says: “While serving on the director search committee, I gained substantial insight into the structure of the school of planning. I perceived weaknesses and inconsistencies in the operation of the school that I found difficult to communicate to the student body (and faculty) as a whole. “There is now a ground-swell of student opposition to the decision of the director search committee on the new director. It was my involvement in the search and- reaction it has caused that prompted me to propose this course. “This then, is in part an expression of some of my conclusions and feelings about and struggling. Another fight broke out and then another. My brother calmly turned to look up at us, smiling sheepishly. My brother’s coach had disappeared from his bench. A player took a slapshot at the other team’s bench and barely missed someone. The referees had given up trying to calm the angry players to avoid personal injury and I watched, horrified and helpless as one player crouched on the ice, Lhands held protectively ovechim as another repeatedly punched his head. After much catcalling, booing and threats from the players and the spectators, the teams slowly moved off the ice. No one on David’s team had beeh hurt but one boy on the Don Valley Village team and a referee had been cut. Going down to wait by the dressing rooms, we noticed my brother’s coach talking earnestly into the phone. Soon the police arrived. Four big, burly quietspeaking guys, half-smiles on their faces, walked slowly down the corridor, followed by the no longer. composed coach. Word got around that he had been threatened by someone with a gun, or so he claimed. People laughed this off but remained standing around soaking up the excitement. One of the boys came out of the dressing room, distressed. He tried to explain to his father that he had not been involved in the fight. The man was grimly silent. Another father stood squarely at the end of the hall i,n an incredible pose: legs wide apart, arms behind his back, and head held high. Slightly militaristic. He< had a small smile on his face, with just a glimmer of smugness and he kept muttering: “Absolutely disgusting.” -. The convener of the arena walked back and forth saying: “There’s one thing I can do. That team (Leaside All-stars) won’t play here again. That’s for sure.” The smug father echoed. “Just disgusting.” We drove my brother home and plied him with questions. He seemed, if not disgusted, bored with the whole thing and belittled the hot tempers of his teammates. When I questioned him about the in@dent regarding the hockey stick above his head, he said, “I wish I’d known that guy’s number, I would have liked to get him.” The next day, sunday, was the day of his regular league game. He, and *the others on the Mack Truck team who had played the night before for the All-stars, were given a one-game suspension. Talk died down except among the players, who continued to laugh loudly and proudly about the incident. As a friend aptly remarked to me on hearing the story, “That’s a Community gardens?” That’s hockey. -kim

the set-up of the school of planningis some room for improvement.” Spearn describes the purpose course this way:

“The purpose ,of the series of courses is to further the development of the school as a community in the true sense and to combat student and faculty alienation. The force that should hold this community together is the common interest and concern for the significant major Canadian environmental issues (the annual themes) and the desire to generate action on these issues based on an objective and scientific understanding of the cau&s of the issues ‘and of the resources upon which alternative action-strategies can be based. A secondary &t important purpose is to improve the functioning of the schoolcommunity itself-but before the functioning of the community can be improved, its existence must be felt and acknowledged by all of its members; students, faculty and staff. One inherent feature of a community is its persistent and continuing involvement in decisionmaking. This course could provide experience with the whole decision-making process at the university and “real world” level; thus helping to provide students with an over-view of their position as planneks and agents of change.” Spearn hopes that his proposed course would raise several important questions about the philosophy of planning theory and methodology: l Should planning goals be studied without studying the implementatiop strategies involved and vice-versa? a What are the objectives of planning?

What are the consequences of professionalism and the expert/client relationship? l Is planning active or reactive? l Do planners, as society’s legitimized change agents, perpetuate the status qvo in the name of change? p What are- the societal consequences of allowing experts to monopolize lifeaffirming creative acts? l What are the necessary conditions for the de-alienation of students? The authors of the brief, Sinclair, Street and Spearn drew up a brief conclusion to draw the paper together: ‘We’ve served on one small committee making one controversial decision. No one can say what the ramifications of that decision are for the university as a whole. It’s an institution and its faculties and departments are but smaller institutions. We’ve been exposed to some of the decision making process, pointed out some of its weaknesses, made suggestions for dealing with those weaknesses. We’ve recognized that there are differences in perspectives and ways of doing things from department to department within the University. We’ve said what what we thought was appropriate from our perspective, and hope others can use it. “The university is sometimes a window on society. From it we can see more clearly the ills and wants. We can look out of it with ideas and experiment with solutions. In that way it is unique, regardless of any personal views on ‘real education’. And in that way it ‘is worthwhile. To let opportunities for innovation and potential improvement slip by seems characteristic but unpardonable. ” \ l

“Endless nights of pain and torment (Where have all th? Zulus gone?) In the midst of seething ferment, Life must stumble on. . .and on. . .” With these stirring words Desmond Cripswell, Bart., opened the recent testimonial luncheon to ‘all things good and beautiful’, recently deceased of Pismire-on-Dimsview, Surrey. At the same time Lord Cripswell affirmed, acknowledged, applauded but deplored, as a whole, the recent trend towards polar’isation and alienation, and the retrograde progress of civic involvement-“that spiritual quality of respect and responsibility for one’s fellow men that once made this Empire the strongest of any on this earth.” Rev. Cripswell also related the revelatory, but true, tale of a misadventure to which his page, Crispin Sussidge, had once fallen victim. Despite the detached manner with which this spine-chilling anecdote was told, none was ignorant of the deadly meaning lurking in the shadows between each pregnant word. Cripswell, General-in-Chief to Her Majesty’s Buggadeers since 1927, (also the year of his widely-publicized marriage to his sister Kate), spoke of the shadow that lies over Europe, the, looming intervention of Destiny at the heavy-hand of Fate, and several related topics ranging from “Why Armageddon?” to “When Doomsday?” Others present at theluncheon, at which a chevron was also produced, included Susan gabel, mel rotman, cosmic over lord-elect george kaufman, Winnie pietrokowski, Catherine murray, paul stuewe, david cubberley, ron colpitts, liz willick, greg, john keyes, Susan johnson, ron smith, george neeland, wheels and dribbles, sally kemp, peter hopkins, kim moritsugu, godfrey lee, gord moore, deanna kaufman, dick mcgill, dudley.paul, n. bertram savage, tim linsdell, alain pratte, don ballanger and tony jenkins, not to mention titan tom galaxy.
