interest in -scholarship* .

The Senate Scholarship and Student Aid Committee met Monday, May 26th at 2 pm. The committee consists of 12 members, three of whom are students.

It would seem at’ first to be impressive that students are represented on the committee that will give its recommendation’to the senate.

The terms of reference of the committee* are to develop. “a scholarship program for the University, keeping in mind the special needs of the various faculties, schoqls, federated and ’ affiliated colleges”.

The fact that the last meeting of the committee was held February 1,1972 points to the low esteem that scholarship and student aid have in the eyes-of the senate. The sudden intereston the part of the senate regarding scholarships is anything but a genuine interest in academic excellence but rather a defensive maneuver.

The university. of Waterloo has no university sponsored scholarship programmes and the late start was caused by institutions (such as the university of Western Ontario, which initiated a $366,666 entrance scholarship program, and York, which offers tuition scholarships to all students who enter with an 86. per cent and higher average.) ’ McMaster and university of Waterloo have been ranking at the bottom of the totem pole as far as

university scholarship programs are concerned.

The fear of losing prospective students is the reason why the scholarship program is now being initiated.

The awards officer at the meeting reported that the .faculty of arts has offered thirty $250 entrance scholarships, based on early admission documents, to students with iaverages ranging from 66.5 to 96.1 ‘per cent who had, indicated university of Waterloo as -their first, second or third choice.

To date, fifteen replies have been received, of which fourteen. are negative; the predominant reason given.for the negative replies was that the students were offered substantially better awards by other universities.

In several cases, first-choice students decided to go elsewhere because of the larger schol,arships.

The Scholarship and Student Aid Committee originally proposed a program in which the University was to provide $26,666 of ‘free money’ for freshman scholarships and ’ $74?OOO for upper-year scholarships, but this plan was not accepted. Instead, the Senate has approved the matching program , that was proposed by the Senate Committee.

This Financeprogram, which was approved by the Senate, is as follows: l Faculty and staff members to be invited, commencing,@ September 1973, to contribute by . payroll

It was All sections of the community were both decided and arranged that the represented at the four day next day’s sessions would be seminar, the emphasis being not so lengthened.

Student delegates managed an hour to present their much on the development of the existing institutions but rather the views to the ministry. ’ potential of what Minister of The conferencetouched on different topics Colleges -and Universities, Jack eighteen McNie termed “the open sector”throughout the sessions and no libraries, museums and “other doubt some valuable material was cultural agencies”. gathered from them. The conference set an important precedent Apologizing several times for their inexperience at holding such for the future and hopefully conferences-this being their first discussion similar to what was attempt-the ministry blundered attempted will be planned for the future. A lot of people had good through the first day of sessions.

The strictly limited to the one hour ministry came under fire for scheduled, leaving no room for ignoring the student governments development .of ideas and and for the manner in which they had selected their student relationships.

There were nine concurrent delegates.

Also, even when the discussion groups held Monday conference had drawn to- a close and Tuesday, with the expectation ’ -many delegates were still wonthat they would take notes and at dering about the purpose of the very expensive show: some later time the ministry would glean from them valuable ideas.

Regarding the concern of the students in universities.

Robin Dods was elected as the committee that the onus is being representative of the part-time placed on staff -and faculty, students and Jacques- Pariseau Matthews aired the following was elected as the representative. views: if the faculty and staff for stud-ents in community contributions were to exceed I colleges. _ $5o,ooO the Senate Finance Com-

mittee would consider extending the match of funds by the university, or it could agree to distribute-the university funds on a pro rata basis test (e.g. 90 cents on the dollar. ) Matthews suggested that a member of the committee move that academic quality be the sole criterion for awarding scholarships. Telegdi stated the expressed wishes of the-two absent student members-in accord with the committee’s own recommendation at its Monday session-that academic quality not be the sole criterion for awarding scholarships. When the vote was taken on the motion, - Matthews indicated that Telegdi could not vote on behalf of Sweet. It was made clear that no member of the committee could have a proxy.

Two members of the committee, H.J.T. Smith and A.B. Gellatly had others present in their place at the two meetings in question.

P.C. Eastman, a visitor for Smith, even managed to put forward motions and vote at the May 28th meeting.

Gellatly was- represented

by L. Seguin for the-May 29th meeting, and by J. Phillips for the May 31st meeting. Examining the minutes for the meetings-by the committee a paradox appears. If it is the case that no proxies are given and it was by error that Eastman-a visitor-was allowed, to make motions and vote, then there was no quorum for either of the meetings. By not allowing Telegdi

to vote for Sweet, Matthews ensured that there was not quorum for either part of the meeting.

Summarizing the irregularities of the meetings the following became very. lucid. No quorum existed at either meeting.

It is against parliamentary rules and pro‘Eedures to adjourn a meeting on k one day and call for- con-, tinuation of the same meeting three days later.

Notices of meetings should be given earlier than 24 hours in advance. If any parliamentary procedures weren’t adhered to then themeetings could be considered null and void. It is laudable that three students are members of thecommittee, but it is scandalous that no allowances ‘were made to allow two of the students to attend. If it is the case that the students on- the committee are there only to lend an air of legitimacy-to the committee then the students are wasting their time. If the administration and senate are serious in receiving recommendations from the scholarship and student aid committee then allowances should be made that the committee function according to some parliamentary guideline such as Roberts Rules.

If corrective measures are not taken then the committee will be nothing more than a body that lends spurious legitimacy to administrative decisions. Decisions that could not stand on their own merits.

Money - ’ .war< i on

.,The board of governors adopted an admittedly ineffective stand Tuesday against the “scholarship war” which is currently- building among the Ontario universities.

The board, at presidentBurt Matthews’ request, passed a resolution which would keep ‘provincial money from switching from university to university in cases where a student’ is lured from his or her first choice by scholarship offers. The resolution arose from the last Council of Ontario Universities (COU) meeting.

The problem rotates around the actions of two schools-York and Western-which have broken the gentlemen’s agreement to hold the line on scholarships in Ontario.

Western ‘is offering entrance scholarships of- up to $1-,500 for September, and York has announced a massive free tuitionabout $&K&enticement.

Since- the drop-off in university enrollment a -few years ago, the scramble has been on among the schools to keep their enrollments up-and thus continue receiving stable financial support from the province.

Thus, one school’s, enrollment will evidently have to continue to grow only at the expense ,of another university.

Both York and Western’ opposed at the COU meeting the motion passed by the governors, and the proposal will not go into effect unless all COU members sign it.

But hopes are that if all but the two offending schools sign the proposal, ‘the provincial government may enforce it.

The\ university of Waterloo is organizing now for scholarship programs to commence in the fall of 1974. A $199,990 program is being set up from donations from the faculty and staff, to be matched by the university.

It is hoped that the faculty and staff will .put up $50,000. Other methods of raising scholarship funds will be researched -by a special president’s committee whicR was commissioned at Matthews’ _request by the board Tuesday.

-Matthews told the meeting that he obviously is not opposed to offering scholarships to students, but is against the money being offered to lure more students to a school rather than -to “award scholarship”. * Under the current _ provincial formula, universities receive grants of $1,800 or (more per student from the government.

Under the COU proposal, these grants would be taken from the university which enticed students away from other schools with scholarships, and given instead to the universities which the student -has first chosen. For purposes of the grants, the student would be considered the property of the university to which he first applied, as recorded- at the central registry1 at Guelph.

I The board members \ also received -good news about the financial state of the university for the upcoming year.

UW vicepresident Bruce Gellatly announced that a feared $1.5 million deficit was actually reduced to $653,999 due to investments, underspending and increased grants.

That leaves around $1.7 million in the university’s ‘reserve fund.

The Arctic McClelland

.

imperative,

by Richard and Stewart Limited.

Rohmer,

It may be hard to say The Arctic Imperative will be the most important Canadian book this year with more still to come but this reviewer believe’s it will be and its contents will continue to haunt Canada for decades unless there is a major change in our national energy policy.

This country’s last frontier is the north and it is here where all the battles will be fought. The winner will probably be the United States and the giant oil and gas companies.

As usual Canada is givjng away the national dream of future generations.

Richard Rohmer, one of the key people’ in the Mid-Canada Corridor concept is no stranger to the north, its problems, nor the Canadian Arctic give away. Because of the major gas finds on the threshold of development Rohmer rushed his book into print, and prior to this gave everyone a preview of it in the Toronto Star in March. It is imperative all Canadians read this book for the decisions made by governments on Arctic energy finds will spell the future of Canada.

Arctic Imperative discusses not only the major finds in the MacKenzie Delta but also the almost fanatic’drilling and large finds of mostly liquid natural gas in the high Arctic islands.

Rohmer states “What must be understood

by Canada is that the pace of resource discovery and development in the Canadian Arctic has accelerated to a point where it is virtually out of Canada’s contrdl.

Canada created its own scenario when it encouraged oil exploration companies to purchase exploration rights for oil and gas in the Arctic at a time when those rights were nothing more than pieces of paper.

Exploration rights were sold without any real understanding of what the impact and ramifications would be for the country, the people, and the future of Canada if commercial finds of those resources were made...”

Today the finds have been made. The first \, flow was on January 23, 1970 on Atkinson Point 35 miles from Tuktoyaktuk.

Estimates for the Canadian Arctic (delta and islands) range from 50 billion barrels of oil and 300 trillion cubic feet of gas to 100 billion barrels of oil and 650 trillion cubic feet of gas. It is expected that the threshold reserves for gas of 15 trillion cubic feet of gas in the MacKenzie Delta will be reached by now while the discovery of from 7-10 trillion cubic feet of gas found by Dome Petroleum on King Christian Island in January b,rings the high Arctic finds to the 15trillion threshold already, thus justifying another pipeline.

Bit will it be of any benefit to Canada?

Rohmer says no. Canada not only sold out the acreage for between five and twenty cents per acre but the big oil com.panies already have given first options to American distributers.

The pipe line or other potential systems of transport will only hurt Canada in the short run 9s the Globe and Mail said on May 22nd. Rohmer gives a blow by blow description to the very complex energy giveaway.

He calls it a ‘theft’ but puts the blame on the federal government.

As the saying goes you can’t be so kind as to call it the ‘rape’ of the Canadian Arctic; not when consent is given. Until we have a national policy on the export of our resources it will just be classed as a theft of our people’s heritage.

It was in 1938 that Mexico nationalized their resources, and in 1973 the majority of Canadians believe it’s time we did the same. Rohmer hopes we will but energy minister Donald Macdonald was flabbergasted at the recent Toronto Star pool which showed this. He didn’t believe it for a minute. Last summer it was a different matter on the MacKenzie Delta where Macdonald was visably stunned as Rohmer reports that, “Mr. Macdonald was told by Father Joseph Adams of lnuvik that if the native people of the north are not given a share in the revenues of oil and gas pipelines along the MacKenzie River .Vally, they will blow them up.”

With the so called gas and oil shortage in the U.S. and with the pipelines from Canada exporting at 96.3 per cent capacity since March (100 per cent in January and February) and with domestic supplies falling from 20 years of known reserves to 11 years of reserves since 1969 we may wish to bring a few natives south with some dynamite.

There are many questions which must be truthfully and fully reported to the Canadian public on the energy export and reserve question. Being on the threshold of full development The Arctic Imperative has not arrived too soon. The question of who will develop, who will benefit; and who will lose are all answered and are unlikely to change with our present government-or the Conservatives for that matter.

This book must be read and understood by all Canadians.

It is imperative.

june 15, 1973

Rohmer unfortunately is very repetitive with some points drilled over and over. He also spends very little time discussing the native people’s claim of the land. He only mentions briefly the fact that this question must be settled first. One point must ‘be understood by the reader and this is that Rohmer, although a ‘Toronto northerner” is a sort of northern assistant to P. E. Trudeau and he would love to get a piece of the action-thus a vested interest in the Arctic developmer!t. ~ -ron

Just jazzin’ Prestige Records released an incredible number of excellent jazz Lps in the 50s and early 60s’ many breaking ground which eventually led to the wide acceptance of such once obscure artists as Davis, Monk, and Coltrane, and portions of this catalogue are now being reissued in 2-record sets.

The generally high standard of this series, both musically and in terms of excellent liner notes’, is exemplified by two recent additions’ Eric Dolphy: Copenhagen Concert (Prestige 24027) and The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever (Prestige 24024). r The Dolphy material is from 1961, and features him with a Danish rhythm section including the very fine pianist Bent Axen.

The emphasis’ however, is definitely on Eric, whose exploration of the possibilities of jazz woodwind playing was a tortured’ frenetic journey cut short only by a ,premature death; and thus his music, while both intellectually demanding and emotionally rewarding’ never achieved the self-confident mastery of, say, the mature John Coltrane.

But it would be misleading to, imply that Dolphy’s career was merely a “promising” one. His technical facility alone, evident in

the ease with which he utilized assymmetrical and displaced rhythms, was well beyond that of all but a few contemporary jazzmen, and even his most avant-garde experiments contained a core of musical intelligence lifting them abqye the “mere noise” category.

He was ultimately a very complex artist on the verge of the breakthroughs accomplished

by Coleman and Coltrane, and Copenhagen Concert is an effective documentation of this quest.

The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever is, for once, an album title which is not inappropriate given the quality of its music. The concert in question took place in Toronto in 1953, and featured the era’s finest “bebop” performers : Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie’ Bud Powell, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach, a lineup which should immediately send jazz fans scurrying to their nearest record store. On the first Lp, this quintet wails its way throuih six classics of the bop repertoire’ including a delightful version of “Salt Peanuts” which might even make it on the pop charts, with Parker and Gillespie particularly impressive as they inspire one another to great feats of solo legerdemain.

The second Lp is a recital by the PowellMingus-Roach trio, featuring Powell’s cerebral piano in a program of standards such as “Embraceable You” and “Cherokee.”

Like Art Tatum and Thelonius Monk, Powell specialized in delicate surgical operations which extracted the essence of a song from the miasma of ten thousand cocktail lounge interpretations’ much as an Ashkenazy will perform radical therapy on a familiar Chopin etude, and this set represents him at his finest. All in all, The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever is damn close to being what it says it is, a release of such broad appeal that even GSK-type jazzophobes undergo positive musical conversions when exposed to it.

Errol1 Graner is another pianist who reflects the pervasive influence of Art Tatum, although in h s case this is expressed in lyrical rather than intellectual terms.

Gemini (London XPS 617) is a typical prograin of both standard (“How High the Moon”, “Tea for Two”) and offbeat (“When a Gypsy Makes His Violin Cry”) pop tunes, performed with that sort of understated authority which represents the absolute craftsmanship of the mature professional.

Very fine music, particubrly recommended to those who have begun to weary of flashy-but-soulless pianism of the Keith Emerson-Rick Wakeman variety.

Somewhat more modish, at least in terms of their use of contemporary rhythms and instrumentation’ are The Jazz Crusaders, whose 2nd Crusade (Blue Thumb BTS 7000) picks up where Crusader 1 left off.

Their music is basically the jazz equivalent the Isaac Hayes-Al Green school of sophisticated soul: a bit on the laundered, restrained’ thoroughly polite side, but so well arranged and performed that only those lost in thle clutches of Black Sabbath will; find it uninteresting.

Although they might profitably experiment with a grittier sound, The Jazz Crusaders ,are such capable exponents of post-coital funk that at least one of their albums belongs in your record collect ion.

A Country summer Of late, a new breed of country musician has been receiving some well deserved recognition.

Steve Goodman, Gram Parsons, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, David Bromberg, The Eagles, Kris Kristofferson and John Prine are a few such people and groups.

Their freshness is more a result of synthesis than novelty, as these artists have combined t\he sound of old time country with lyrics that appeal to the sophistication of today’s urban youth.

In the 1950’s there was a rather vigorous revival of folk music, as assorted beatniks and university students rediscovered North American music. These same people learned how to play such instruments as the banjo, the harp, the kazoo, the mandolin, the fiddle, the jug, the washboard bass, the dobro and even the guitar. They then travelled the countryside learning first-hand about blue grass, blues; cajun, gospel, courting songs and labor music.

They sang the old songs intact, they rearranged them, and they wrote new songs. They played with the%ir friends and to their friends in the finest tradition of “roots” music, and soon there was a string of intimate coffee houses across North America.

Yes, the folk music revival became, in accordance with Arlo%Guthrie’svdefinition, a “movement”.

But, as is often the fate of successful musical movements, the record industry ‘realized that there was gold in them thar hillbilly songs. What happened next was almost criminal.

None of the various modes of folk music escaped, and many were returned to their previously “underground” status.

Blues appears to have suffered the least, but old time country and blue grass were almost destroyed, as Nashville converted them into pop music by filing off all the rough edges. In most cases this was commercial exploitation rather than artistic experimentation.

Fortunately, there are still people around who are interested in playing and preserving blue grass and old time country music. In the last two to three years there has been a ye-revival of these musical forms.

Major blue grass and old time country festivals have been scheduled for almost every weekend this summer

thrdughout North America. These festivals feature both the new breed of country musicians and the old-timers, and this bridging of the generation gap also extends to the audiences, where there seems to be a harmonious intermingling of both freaks and middle-aged straights based on their mutual appreciation of the music. (This’ seems like a neat spot to make some comment about how good music can overcome hate and ,prejudice.

Forget it. I may be an idealist, but I’m not an idiot.)

“And now, it gives me gre-e-a-a-att pleasure to introduce to you a fine singer, a fine picker, and a damn fine songwriter.

Let’s hear it for little Johnny Prine!

Yessuh!”

APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE...You know, if it weren’t for the announcer’s long hair, his funny smellin’ tobacco and his unusually long drawl, you’d probably expect Gene Autrey to ride out on stage on his horse, strummin’ his guitar, and singin’ “Single Saddle.” But no sir!

One of the headliners at many of this summer’s festivals will be John Prine. Two years ago, I listened to Kris Kristofferson introduce a song called “Sam Stone” by stating (almost soberly) ‘I learned this song from a guy in Chicago who’s probably the best damned songwriter in America today.’

The guy was John Prine. But Prine is no longer an ex-postman playing at the Old Town Tavern in Chicago; now he has recorded two albums for Atlantic, and performs at such renowned places as Massey Hall and the Buffalo Folk Festival.

John Prine’s latest vinyl offering, Diamonds in the Rough (Atlantic SD 7240), does not contain the heavy hits that highlighted his first album, John Prine. But Diamonds in the Rough is a much more accurate interpretation of John Prine’s music, which is old time country p&e and simple.

It just doesn’t have the cash register ring of the “Nashville Sound”. John Prine’s lyrics cover the spectrum of human experience : his messages are neither h-idden am’idst vague and elusive metaphors nor buried underneath excessive amplification and electricity.

As was the practice with most lead vocalists of old time country, Pritie accompanies himself quite adequately on rhythm guitar (acoustic, of course).

The supporting musicians (David Bromberg, Dave Prine, and Steve Steve Burgh, Goodman) do an exceptionally fine job, especially on “Yes I Guess They Oughta Name a Drink After You”-the dobro and fiddle introduction are nice enough to make you want to have another sip of wine. lnterestingly enough, none of the old standbys-the famed “Area Code 615” boysare used on this album. Which certainly has not hurt the album. Maybe it has even improved it.

People have begun to compare Dylan and Prine because of the similarities in their vocal styles, and some have even said that Prine is “the new Bob Dylan.” For Prine’s sake I hope not.

One of the better groups to emerge as a result of the folk revival of the 50’s was The Greenbriar Boys. Vanguard has released songs from their previous albums on The Best of the Greenbriar Boys (Vanguard 79317).

My first reaction was negative.

Vanguard, given its history of recording obscure but incredible artists, once impressed me as being more interested in music than in money. After viewing the endless procession of “Twofers”, however, I realized how naive that opinion was; and now that blue grass is experiencing a comeback, it seems obvious that Vanguard’s intentions are strictly monetary.

After listening to this album, however, I realized that it was an excellent selection from one of the most talented groups of the 1955-65 era. The offerings on the album range from blue grass to blues to gospel to old time country to modified cajun, and if you’re looking for some fine “back to the roots” music, it is highly recommended.

Nevertheless, I still wish that Vanguard had maintained its integrity by searching out new artists rather than wasting all their time‘ lately with “Twofers” or “Best Ofs”.

Oh yes.. .one torn up Bill Munroe autograph will be awarded to the first person who can successful1 identify what famous long-haired blue grass group I have alluded to through mention of their various song titles.

Just a taller walk \ with thee I Playing this area for the first time (at the Waterloo Theatre), Walking Tall is the story of a small-town Tennessee sheriff who is determined to clean up the -country’s lawbreakers.

The film is supposedly based on the life of Sheriff Buford Pusser from the deep south, USA. The ad reads: “When was the last time you stood up aild Applauded a movie?”

It should read : “When was the last time you wanted to lay down and be sick?”

The sheriff is played by Don Joe BakerBig Buford with the moronic smile and matching intellect. Elizabeth Hartman, as his wife, would have been more convincing clasping onto a rag doll and sucking her thumb.

The couple portray, in fact, two people who have never grown up, who seem to lack any depth or awareness about life and a bout themselves.

In the progression of the movie, Buford and his deputies proceed to annihilate all the meanies and bad guys.

Buford’s security is a big wooden stick which he takes with him everywhere.

He also uses the stick.

To pulverize the strayed populace.

Alas, Buford has the misfortune of being cut up with a sharp knife. Tsk. Tsk. But he’ll see that justice is restored.

H\e’ll kill them.

And he did.

Acts two, three and four are more of the same with copious amounts of blood, and frame after frame of Bovine Buford charging around clubbing people to death.

There is no plot,One could see the ending and know the beginning and vice-versa.

There is no character development.

This is possibly because the actors have nothing save their shallowness to develop.

The editing is poor. The message is nauseous.

Let’s organize ourselves around some ‘righteous’ cause and become dogmatic and self-righteous to the extent that any means justifies our ends.

It’s a story that will appeal strongly to fanatics, especially those who gain a release of their violence by means of the deprivation and denial of human life.

Director Phil Karlson deserves the greatest blame.

Displays of physical violence are pre’sented in an indiscriminate and parody-like fashion. Everyone lines up to get their head blown off. Then deposit same, with tip, at the door.

Karlson’s interpretation of what could have been at least an entertaining movie sinks further into the morasse with his sticky sentimentality and inability to view events in anything but a superficial manner.

Catharsis is reached in Johnny Mathis’ gum-dropped singing of ‘Walking Tall’.

Sheriff Buford has dazzled us all.

-The International Telephone and Telegraph Company hasa peculiar kind of Midas touch. Every year the conglomerate grows and grows and its profits swell; but beneath the blue-chip glitter there is an all-pervasive stench.

From modest beginnings in Puerto Rico Shortly after the First World War, it has grown into one of the biggest corporations in the world. In the past 13 years alone, its revenues have shot up from $742 million to $8.6 billion, while profits increased by 1,600 per cent. And through it all, ITT has ryoven itself, better than most multi-national c’orporations, to be thoroughly disreputable, built on a foundation of corruption and intrigue.

Years ago, the American company assured its expansion by gaining friends and benefactors like ‘Adolf Hitler, Herman Goering, Francisco Franc0 and a variety of Latin American dictators.

Today its holdings in 93 countries-including massive expansion in Canada-still depend on dubious deals, financial as well as political. Whereas in the 20’s and 30’s growth was based on telephone takeovers in Cuba, Uruguay and Chile, and in the 70’s it is based on cosy deals with the likes of Premier Robert Bourassa.

It enjoys friendship with such diverse elements as President Richard Nixon and the Republican Party, the Eastern financial establishment, the CIA and the Canadian Post Off ice.

In Canada, ITT controls some 58 companies from bakeries to communications, from insurance to hotels. It operates the DEW line and controls an area in Quebec the size of New Brunswick.

And it is moving into the Arctic in a big way.

On the balance sheet, its future looks bright in this country. But its future course is best judged by its present and past, both here and abroad.

International Telephone and Telegraph (its name was deliberately chosen to confuse it with American Tel and- Tel) was founded when two brothers, Sosthenes and Hernard Behn, acquired a small phone company in Puerto Rico, and then aiother in Cuba. Realizing the immense future awaiting telephone companies outside America (where AT&T had things sewn up) the Behn brothers set out to create an international communications system.

Their first major expahsion came in 1923 when the Spanish dictator Primo de Rovera turned the fledgling national telephone service over to the B&hn brothers. Their next big break came in 1925, when U.S. anti-trust action forced Western Electric, a manufacturer of telephone equipment and a subsidiary of AT&T, to sell off its operations in England, Belgium and Germany. Through a series of other rapid acquisitions, ITT soon became the owners of communication manufacturing com-

panies in 13 European countries.

Their international network was held intact through a secret,cartel agreement with AT&T in which they agreed to help each other and to avoid competition.

Further expansion in cable, telegraph, radiotelegraph and telephone companies was stepped up. Within a short time, the company controlled communications systems and manufacturing in such countries ai Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Peru, Columbia, Uruguay and China. By the time the war rolled around, ITT and its subsidiaries had control over a startling number of countries around the world.

Brother Hernand died early in the game, but Sosthenes Behn, backed

by New York banks, proved extremely capable of dealing with various governments around the world. One of his greatest successes came in dealing with Nazi Germany, a story well documented

by British journalist Anthony Samson in a soon-to-be-published book called The Sovereign State of ITT. In 1930, Behn set up a Ge’rman holding company named Sta_ndard . Elektrizitats-Gesellschaft (SEG) and entered into a series of cartel agreements with competitors, notably with Swedish financier lvar Kreuger who later was to go down as one of the world’s greatest defrauders (he bilked various other financiers of close to a billion dollars in today’s terms and then committed suicide).

Shortly after setting up the Nazi Third Reich, Sosthenes Behn became the first U.S. businessman to be received personally

by Adolf Hitler. They met at Berchtesgaden where ITT established a warm and privileged relationship with the Nazi state.

Behn approached Hitler’s economic advisor, Wilhelm Keppler, and arranged to have the boards of ITT’s German companies filled with men acceptable to the Nazis. One was Kurt von Schroeder’ who later became a General in the SS and fund raiser for Himmler’s Gestapo. Schoeder brought in massive armaments contracts for ITT companies, including the notorious Focke-W.ulf company, builders of the very effective Second World War Nazi bombers of the same name.

When Hitler took over Austria the Nazis wanted to expropriate ITT’s Austrian subsidiary, but another visit to Hitler by Behn removed that danger.

Jewish employees were fired and the company (along with other holdings in Nazithreatened countries) was transferred to ITT’s German holding company. Thus ITT became one of the few foreign companies to escape confiscation by the Nazis. Behn remained a good German corporate citizen by ploughing back almost all profits into the construction of the German war machine. (In 1965 ITT managed to get $27 million in war compensation from the U.S. because some of

friday,

its German plants, including the Focke-Wulf bomber operation, were damaged

by Allied bombing.)

But ITT’s loyal service to the Third Reich did not end there.

Before the U.S. entered the war, Nazi businessmen’ acting on orders from Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, visited the U.S. (at ITT’s expense and planning) to try and convince American businessmen to cut off supplies and spare parts for Britian.

After the U.S. entered the war, ITT continued to serve the Germans.

An ITT factory in Switzerland went on supplying the Nazis, although a Swissowned competitor refused.

ITT was strongly suspected of allowing its Latin American lines to be used to pass communications to German submarines (many of its South American subsidiaries maintained direct links with Germany).

In Spain, ITT supplied the Axis with raw materials and equipment (the Spanish Republicans had eliminated ITT but when Franc0 took over the company was invited back with expanded interests).

Operating out of Lisbon and Madrid, Behn kept regular contact both before and during the war wit‘h such Nazis as Hermann Goering, communications being his business.

Anthony Samson writes: “Behn’s high-powerdd contacts, both in Europe and elsewhere’ helped to provide an unrivalled private intelligence servicewhich was perhaps the greatest asset of his company. When foreign leaders came to America, they often lunched with Behn in his penthouse before they talked’to the State Department’ and his information was often better than the government’s” He also had good connections in U.S. politics, as well as with the Pentagon where several ex-ITT men were placed. And Behn was using his worldwide communications system to increase his own and his ‘stockholders’ profit. So he also served the Allies, and that was his own Catch-22.

In Washington’ ITT had been quite’suspect and the Justice Department had been preparing antitrust action against the company. So, at some point in the war, ITT became very valuable to the Allies, such as U.S. intelligence agencies. American agents turned up working for ITT companies.

“When the tide of war turned, and Europe was invaded”’ writes Samson, “Colonel (WWI) Behn emerged in new chameleon colours. On the very day of the liberation of Paris, August,25, 1944, the French ITT workers were celebrating in the laboratories, hoisting French flags on the roof, when who should arrive at the door but the Colonel, wearing a mud-stained battle dress, sitting in a jeep with his son William ,at the wheel. Supposedly he was a communications expert, advising the-American ,Army. But his preoccu,pation was to inspect and re-establish ITT factories in Western Europe.

“It became clear as the Allies pushed into Germany, that ITT now had a special relationship with the American Army. ITT officials mysteriously appeared in brigadier general uniforms...in the postwar rubble there were all kinds of business marauders picking up what they could, with ITT in the forefront.

In October 1945, it even managed to dismantle two Focke-Wulf aircraft plants in Muhlhausen, in the Russian zone, and to move

It was also revealed that, except for losing-memos, ITT’s Washington lobby was extremely efficient. Hoards of bankers, lawyers, PR men and lobbyists spent two yearspushing for. ITT. In fact, Senator Ted Kennedy was movedto’write: “The sustained and sophisticated ITT anti-trust lobbying effort from 1969 to 1971 is a tribute to the advanced state of the lobbying art. Any Cabinet, member or White House aide who was not-contacted by ITT must now be suffering from secondclass citizenship.”

Of course, as subsequent Anderson disclosures showed, its lobbying~was not limited to anti-trust -cases. Around thesame time, ITT waslobbying and plotting to keep Senator Salvadore Allende from taking power in Chile.

A flock-of ITT memos secretly released to Anderson revealed a vast, well-oiled and unremittingeffort by the company to pressure the U.S. government and other corporations to undertake economic-sabotage of the Chilean economy. As well; ITT encouraged the ‘CIA and various Chilean right wing and military elements to block Allende’s democratic takeover.

It should be noted that ITT is the Pentagon’s - 23rd biggest defence contractor, much of its work being classified. Its main contracts have to do with “the Automated Battlefield Concept and include a mindboggling array of research and development . into computerized weaponry.

Much of it comes from practical research and application in Vietnam.

Because of the nature-‘of its business, ITT has perhaps the best private intelligence network in the world, presided qover by its senior vicepresident for corporate relations, Edward Gerrity, and his $100.million a year budget for ‘,‘advertising, promotion and public relations”.

As well, ITT and other U.S. companies with farflung foreign holdings, such as United Fru,it, have extensive contacts with the CIA, sometimes with an interchangeable staff. One of ITT’s catches is none. other than John A. McCone, the former director of the CIA, who is an ITT director. Inrecent testimony. ‘before a Senate subcommittee, ‘McCone held his listeners spellbound as hecooly admitted that he had personally offered up to $1 million to Henry Kissinger and to then CIA director Richard Helms to-bankroll any government plan to stop Allende’s election in Chile.

I The Canadian operations of ITT are nominally run out of a modest suite of offices on the 15th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Centre in downtown Toronto. It controls some 58 Canadian companies, including Sheraton hotels, communications equipment firms, Avis-Rent-A-Car, ITT Arctic Services, Rayonier of Canada, a wire‘ and cable plant in St. Jerome, Quebec and frozen foods in Toronto. ’ These companies report directly to the New-York head office. Being -wholly owned American sub\ sidiaries their books are not open to the Canadian public. The four-man Toronto “head office” is then, as journalist Walter Stewart described it, “a combination mail drop and lobby for the U.S. firm.” % The degree of autonomy of ITT in Canada is well ’ illustrated by the fact that when one of theCanadian subsidiaries raised its prices for U.S. 1 customers the U.S. price commission asked the company to rescind the increase and the New York executives agreed.

The biggest deal ITT has made in Canada is the massive project-for the exploitation of Quebec’s huge forest reserve on the north shore of the St. Lawrence opposite the Gasp& Under the terms of the agreement between the government of Quebec, and ITT, acting through its subsidiary, Rayonier Quebec Inc., the company has acquired the timber rights to a 26,000 square mile-area stretching from the Manicouagan River to the Labrador border.

The details of the agreement are reminiscent of the deals worked out beheen the United Fruit Company and Guatemala, and have been described of National Trade Unions as a i by theConfederation “typical example of the degree of belly-crawling to, c .

which our little elites have sunk to satisfy their master.”

The project calls for construction of a pulp mill at Port Car-tier, 350 miles down river from Quebec City, plus access roads and related facilities for a total cost of $165 million. Of this, $57.3 million will be provided by the governments of Quebec and Canada. This huge subsidy will result in the creation of a grand total of 459 permanent. jobs.

Ironicaily, while construction of the Rayonier plant is going on, Candian International Paper’s pulp mill plant at Temiscamingue has closed down, resulting in the loss of 550 jobs-a net loss of 91 jobs.

The mill itself will produce dissolved pulp, or cellulose acetate, a crude material that will then be shipped to ITT plants in Europe for conversion into rayon fibre, cellophane, rubber and film. It’s a nice irony that the Canadian taxpayer ends up subsidizing more and better paying jobs for Europeans.

This ‘hard-nosed’ deal was negotiated on <behalf of the-Quebec government of Premier Bourassa by his predecessor, Jean Lesage, a man who has spent . most of his retirement years collecting a score of company directorships; The terms ITT ran away with call for roya tty payments of 50 cents a cord, compared to the I $2.50 to $3.00 a cord plus $20 per square mile concession rights other companies pay. To gild the golden lily Quebec has even agreed to assume all responsibility for reforestation and silviculture, and for fire protection.

During the- first phase of the operatioh, ITTRayonier will harvest 600,000 cords of wood a.year, paying Quebec $300,000. This will give ITT 263,000 tons of dissolved pulp selling at $230 a ton, making $60,490,000 a-year. Later phases of the project call for 2 million cords of wood a year, harvested from a 51,000 square mile forest, an area almost twice the size of New Brunswick.

To protect ITT’s stake in this, there-is a proviso that if the wood supplies are not adequate, the province undertakes to deliver the shortage. The agreement also gives ITT virtual veto rights over other timber operations in the area.

Just in case all this does not prove satisfactory to --the company, it can cancel the contract without any conditions. As it is, the contsct ,runs for 40 years, with option to renew -for-. another 40 years.

To add insult to injury, ITT plans to finance its’ part of the bargain by an initial bond issue of $25 million, on the Canadian market. Thus, while the

federal and prov.incial governments can trumpet this as another much-needed “foreign investment” of $165 million (57.3 million of which is subsidized) , . Lc IF wiII actually put in only a minute fraction of the amount it will take out of the country.

Another controversial deal involves the Canadian Post Office. ITT’s postal mechanization company in Guelph-landed a $72million contract to _ supply the Post Office with automatic sorting machines, although its bid was reported not to be the lowest.

The government dismissed as mere coincidence that the Deputy Postmaster Generat, J.A.H. Mackay, happens to be a former president of ‘ITT Canada. Both the government and the current ITT president T.H. Savade also claim as coincidental that the Post Office’s chief engineer, Jack Moody, had been seconded work for ITT while still a . government ‘employee six months before the contract was announced.

It seems that all parties concerned agreed that the American company was the only bidder with \ the necessary expertise to fulfil1 the contract. None of the Canadian companies had it-and with government policy being what it is, none ever will. n ITT, because of its mammoth size, acts as a government unto itself, one that does not hesitate to mix in politics. Essentially, it operates without restrictions, as an amoral operation. It has become so steeped in its own insular existence that every facet of its operations is suspect-not only on a large, but even on a relatively minor level.

Recently in New York, for instance, it was shown that ITT had turned the Queens District Attorney’s office into a kind of private collection agency. This was revealed following a raid on a company that had been repairing cars for Avis-Rent-A-Car, and allegedly overcharging the company that- “tries _ harder”.

Subsequently it became known that the detective who led the raid, the chief rackets investigator for District Attorney Thomas J. Mackell, had been. driving a free Avis car for over a year.

Other members of the staff enjoyed similar gratuities.

In addition, reported the New York Tides, ITT had donated at least $138,000 to a non-profit foundation-the Institute for th”e Advancement of Criminal Justice-created and headed by< the Queens District Attorney. ITT was the source of all the funds for the institute, which picked up hotel tabs for Mr. and Mrs. Mackell, but-did little to advance justice. ITT did not contribute money to other, similar organizations and, in fact, spent-more money advertising its “public service” contribution -to the institute than it actually gave.

An investigation is underway to determine what, if any, benefits ITT drew from this peculiar arrangement.

However, it can be safely assumed .. that this is another illustration of the company’s unsavoury character and penchant for corruption’.

The information about ITT’s record over the years that has reached the public is enoughto ‘place all its operations under deepest suspicion, There is, indeed, a stench of corruption and amorality about the company as bad as that surrounding President Nixon’s White House in the era of Watergate, The wonder is that governments anywhere, such as Canada’s federal government and the ~Quebec government,. would conceive of ‘reaching major deals with such sharks.

But perhaps it’s not so surprising after all. It’s only as a result of the recent, unexpected surfacing of several appalling scandals that the public has become aware of what lies behind ITT’s smooth, cosmetic image. Is there any reason to believe that the scores of 6ther giant, international companies, whose names are household words to Canadians, and who have huge holdings in this country, operate any differently? adapted

“Did you see that; touchdown?” was the cry of the week. Little was known at that time that it was the only touchdown to be seen for the B’s. The B’s bubble burst as the Village Dons won 18-7. The surprise of the league however is the Sevens from the Math Society who remain undefeated. They have not had a point scored against them to date.

Half-way there and the, amazing Systems United team still leads the league, having won its five starts to date. ‘Hot on their tail are the Professionals (71, 73 A Civil (7) and Canadian Connection (61, each having played four games.

May 36: Dark clouds and slippery fields slowed the tempo of the games tremendously allowing the Professionals to literally walk over the Eng. Grads, 6-l. Joe Peternulg,, who incidentally is the leagues scoring l,eader, had 2 goals for the victors..

The record game had the two Math teams settle their class differences on the field. Although United controlled most of the game, they were unfortunate to lose to their overconfident socket brothers, 2-1.

May 31: A lovely, sunny day, at last! The first game had two of the stronger teams in the league clash-the defending _champions, theProfessionals and a few fans vs the challengers, the Canadian Connection and their large fan support. <The Professionals showed all the poise expected of them as they took a 2-6 lead before the Connections got a questionable’ goal with ample time to score the equalizer . However, the strong Professional defence turned back all further attacks and held on to win, 2-l.

Week of June 4: Looks like summer’s here to stay. 73 A Civil played twogames this week and won both, beating the Crusaders

(who haven’t lived ,up to their expectations) 1-O and the league cinderellas, the Eng. Grads 2-l.

George Douglas,by far the league’s outstanding forward, scored the Grads goal.

In what was undoubtedly the roughest game so far, the shorttempered Canadian Connection defeated the Crusaders 3-1. Pedro Bossia had a hat-trick for the winners.

Other games had Systems United defeat Eng. Grads, 3-6 and Math United, 4-6.

Some 24 competitors (four of whom were past 40 years) representing four states and the Province of Ontario were gathered together at 1O:OO a.m. on Belle Isle, Detroit, Michigan, to cornpete in the Michigan AAU 25 kilometer Championship on Sunday, May 27th. ’ r At the 5000 metre mark, D&y Anderson was sharing the lead with Don Richardson of the Macomb Track Club and John Doyle from the Windsor Y. The strong wind (gusting to 25 mph) dictated the pace on the back stretch of the five-lap-course and killed any incentive of the leaders to break contact early.

Finally in the last 3000 metres, with the wind at his back, Anderson s.frprised his rivals by staging a strong sprint for about 800 metres and went on to win by more than loo metres with a time of one hour, 24 minutes, and 35.0 seconds.

Pat Reid who is a recent graduate from Waterloo came across the finish line with a * respectable time of 1:31:00 in sixth place.

-". THESECOND PACIFIC

attend with the idea of a meeting of the best track and field athletes from these countries every four years. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States accepted the invitation and the idea became a reality with the first games taking place in Tokyo in 1969.

An interesting point about these games is . that each team can enter only a limited number of athletes. At present each country is permitted to only 37 athletes but there is no limit placed on the number of male or female athletes as long as their totals do not exceed the team limit of 37.

There are a total of 27 individual men’s and women’s events plus four relays. Each team is able to enter two athletes in each event which would normally indicate a team, size - of about 54 athletes, but for the limitation placed on each team. What eventually happens in the Pacific Conference Games is that some athletes participate in more than one event. A member of the Canadian team, Diane Jones, will compete in four events.

Because of the limitations placed on each team the larger, more talented countries do not have a great advantage over the smaller less talented ones. An indication of this was. seen at the first games in Tokyo when the team champions.hip was acquired by Australia.

After the games’ winning team has been decided the teams are split into groups for satellite meets. The present set up is to have about 120 athletes go to Ottawa and then to Montreal for competitions with the remaining athletes going to Saskatoon. Both groups will meet upin Victoria for a final competition.

The satellite meets will also, provide an opportunity for other Canadian athletes not on alrea’dy the Canadian team x to get some international experience.

Many of the best track and field athletes will be taking part in the games. Many of these athletes will be appearing in Canada for the first time. Among the notable

1 ' CONFERENCEGAMES ‘I

The Second Pacific Conference Games will commence Wednesday, June 27, at t:OO pee em at Etobicoke’s Centennial Park next evening,. The games have been scheduled during the middle of the week so they will not interfere with week-ends trips to the cottage area.

What arethe Pacific Conference Games?

It is a track and field competition between countries whose shores are touched by the Pacific’ Ocean. ,At present there are five countries-Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United States.

Although track and field consists of a group of individual events the criterion for (the ’ games is a team championship unlike the Olympics.

Points are given for individual - placings, then.added to to give a team total. ’ I Both men’s and women’s points are combined in making the final decision of the winning team.

The idea of the games, conceived by Japan, came about because Japan had/no international track and field competition except the Olympics, which are held every four yea&. The Pacific Conference Games would give ‘them a second rn-ajor ’ international track and field competition.

In order to develop a successful ‘program one has to test the establish program for its weaknesses and strengths and make .changes accordingly.

Most countries, at least those that have the time and resources for such activities, have more international track and field competitions than, just the Olympics.

For instance there is the annual European Games, the annual African Games and the annual Caribbean G:ames.

Japan approached those countries which did not have an annual track and field competition to

athletes from outside of Canada are: Rod Dixon, bronze medalist in the 1500 metresat the Munich Olympics from New Zealand; Raeline Boyle silver medalist in the 109 and 308 metres in Munich from Australia; Kerry O’Brien, former world record holder in the 300’ metres steeplechase from Australia; and John Walker from New Zealand, who defeated Rick Wolhuter earlier this year before Wolhuter set a world record for 808 metres. There has been no mention of which{ athletes-will be participating for the United States at the time of this writing but they should be sending their best.

The Canadian men’s team will comprise: Bob Martin, 100 and 200 metres; Ian Gordon, 100 and 208 metres; Glen Boque; 480 metres; Doug Chapman, 400 metres; Eric Chapman, 800 metres; Ken Elmer, 800 and 1500 metres; Grant McLaren, 1500 and 5000 metres; Dan Shaughnessy, 10,000 metres; Tony Nelson, 110 metre hurdles; Daniel Talon 110 anda metre hurdles ; Doug Vine and Rick Cuttell, long jump; Bishop Dologiewicz and Bruce Pirnie, shot put; Ain Roost and Dave .Harrington, discus; Rick Doswell and Andre Claude, javelin; John Keating, hammer throw; John Hawkins and Claude Ferragne, high jump. *i

CC Board backs beer-bash Students Federation of president Andy Telegdi and Board of Entertainment chief Art Ram were two of the five Campus Centre Board members who, at the board’s last meeting on June 6, passed a motion granting the federation free use of the campus for a week-long centre Oktoberfest extravaganza next fall.

Obviously incensed by the money-grabbing tactics of downtown merchants whose prosper on . establishments student dollars during the city’s version of this yearly event, Ram asserted that the Board of Entertainment had decided to “stop the twin cities from ripping-off the student-what we want to do is rip them off instead”.

Ram, who is E ngsoc’s representative on the Campus Centre Board, gave a brief outline of what the event would entail.

The ‘campus centre, which currently operates on a twentyfour hour a day basis, and is open to alI members of the community, would be open from noon to midnight only, and a two-dollar admittance charge would be levied at the door. The two-dollar fee is the minimum prescribed by the Oktoberfest Association, which governs events held under the Oktoberfest banner.

All profits, however, would go straight to the federation.

An elaborate plan has been formulated, including attendants at .all entrances to the building, to limit access to all of the campus centre, including the great hall, to those willing and able to front the two-dollar admission.

It was not stated whether women will be allowed in for a cut rate.

Operations coordinator, Niki Klein, speaking for the turnkeys, proposed that the federation make a profit-based donation to the Campus Centre Board, either at a flat rate of $1,000 a day, or at 25 per cent of the net profit. The turnkeys will be faced with a salary budget deficit sometime in the next year, which will mean either much-reduced salaries, or layoffs for some of them; they the conjectured that since federation will likely rake in considerable revenue from an event held in the campus centre, it would not be unreasonable for part of that revenue to go to sustaining the staff who are primarily responsible for running / the building. ‘l’elegdi and Ram vigourously opposed this concept, however, claiming that to capitulate would set a precedent under which rent might be charged in other instances-concerts for example.

The federation currently uses the phys ed building rent-free for concerts in cooperation with the university administration.

Telegdi sees the campus centre board as having, in effect, a moral obligation to allow free use of the building for federationsponsored events, even when those events are not primarily intended as a service to the students, but as a profit-making tool which might facilitate service programs at a later date.

The rationale seems to be that by exploiting the students now, the -federation will be able to serve them better in the future-a questionable philosophy at best.

In any case, Telegdi’s motion on the matter was passed by

three votes to two, with himself, Ram amd math rep Phil Lanouette in favour; science rep Dave Assman and turnkey Howard Eckstein against.

Fleeting mention was made of conflict of interest, in regard to Ram and Telegdi’s key federation posts, but the issue was not pressed. _ Also present at the meeting was security person Dennis Perkins, attending at the board’s request to answer charges of nonco-operation with turnkeys in instances where security personnel had hassled various people in the campus centre, and on occasion made arrests, without informing the turnkey of what was going on.

Although none of the turnkeys who had originally lodged the complaint were present at the meeting, several members believed that the problem was mainly one of mistrust; they felt that, since the turnkeys are responsible for the building during their shifts, it is incumbent upon security officers to explain to some extent the nature of their policing activities.

Perkins replied that the problem was indeed one of trust, and that in the past turnkeys have made security’s job more difficult by expediting the escape using of potential arrestees, information with which security had entrusted them. He added that this constitutes an offence under the criminal code, and that he would “hate to see a turnkey in court charged with obstructing a peace officer”.

He said that one of the main difficulities was that runaway children often use the campus centre as a shelter, and that turnkeys have frequently aided them in staying away from home.

He conceded that these children are often from homes that it would be better they did not return to, but explained that in that kind of situation a children’s welfare agency is always called in to help.

Perkins agreed to attend a meeting of turnkeys at a later date to inform them of their legal obligations as campus centre custodians.

In other business, the board voted $1500 towards a special campus centre board orientation in the fall, and heard a report from the furniture committee confirming the upcoming installation of new speakers for movies, and a clock in the great hall; as well as sexy dimmers and coloured spotlights in the pub area.

Another federation service?

With a summer quorum of four members, the Campus Centre Board met on Wednesday afternoon to discuss several matters of consequence.

Seeing as the board has difficultyespecially in the summer months-reaching quorum, CCB instituted a policy of accepting

proxy votes for members unable to attend meetings, as long as ’ they submit notice in writing to the board chairman before the meeting is called to order.

Activities Co-ordinator, Niki Klein announced her resignation, effective June 22. She outlined the origins of the position-CCB had felt that instituting the job would‘ provide long- term continuity since board members are elected yearly, while the activities co-ordinator was hired for an indefinite term. Klein was paid the salary of a part-time secretary plus an extra five dollars a week, which works out to fifty dollars a week.

Klein named Susan Philips as her preference for the open position and the board moved that Philips be hired.

Philips’ has been a turnkey. in the past and has worked on many CCB activities.

Science rep David Assman brought up the question of the policy of CCB in hiring its staff.

All university and all federation positions are advertised before a person is selected for the position.

The shortage of time in this instance meant it was impossible for CCB to follow this policy but it was agreed that in future all paid positions would be advertised before the selection was made.

One point that brought some debate to the meeting was the question of dealing with possible conflicts of interest arising for some members of CCB. Last week’s meeting saw the granting to the federation of full use of the campus centre for a week next fall during the Oktoberfest rites.

The motion was initiated and passed

by Andy Telegdi, Art Ram and Phil Lanouette-all members of the council of the Federation of Students, Telegdi and Ram being executive members.

Lanouette is the math rep on the council and as well, a member of the Board of Entertainment.

Other members of CCB felt this represented a conflict of interest but since Telegdi et al did not declare it themselvesthe usual procedure in cases of such conflict-they were at a loss as to what they should do. New policy, established at this week’s meeting, states that any member who suspects another member of a conflict of interest can challenge that member and a three-quarters vote of the entire CCB membership will be needed to establish the validity of the case. The onus will be on the person challenged to prove that no conflict exists, rather than on the person doing the challenging.

The Oktoberfest problem was still a foremost matter in theminds of those at the meeting and several times discussion centred on the question.

CCB policy had been understood to be that the campus centre could not be closed and also that admission could not be charged to the great hall-But neither of these policies could be found written in the policy book. Many new problems with the week-long pub had been discovered and it was decided to hold another meeting to deal exclusively with these.

The next meeting will be on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Representatives will be present from Food Services, Security, Bar Services and Janitorial Services as well as the Federation of Students.

Hopefully problems will be ironed out at this meeting.

In a lighter vein, Linda Yule presented a proposal from the turnkeys to hold a ping-pong tournament in the campus centre.

The tournament is scheduled for June 27, a Wednesday and is open to anyone in the university community.

It is thought that something along these same lines might be arranged for every term.

From there discussion degenerated into the rights of turnkeys to decide whether or not someone should be allowed to

Mother Nature once again returns to the pages of the chevron. - The term’s first issue was temporarily misplaced.

This issue will be a hybrid of the first article and random notes.

This spring was unique in that it was a poor one for anyone working with the land. The cold, wet and irregular weather caused the fields to be seeded late. This will undoubtedly result in higher vegetable and meat prices.

The first seeding of feed grains was delayed by the weather so the boeufs will be more expensive to feed. Tomatoes were especially late in getting in. The cloud that looms over the consumer can be lifted if more people start their own gardens.

The procedure for starting a garden will be outlined.

Those of you who already have the crop in can pick up useful information at the end of the article.

HOW do you pick out an area for a garden? The first thing to do is look for a well-drained spot that receives sun all day. Check for weed growth.

A poorly weeded area indicates poor soil, little drainage, or a past use of defoliants.

Several plants indicate whether the soil is acid or alkaline.

Horsetail, members of the dock family (burdock), and fingerleaf weeds indicate an acid soil. Wood aster, sage brush, peppergrass, blue grass, camomile and field madder indicate an alkaline soil. A sandy contain soil will usually goldenrod, Queen Ann’s Lace, flax and wild lettuce.

An area that has red clover contains a good amount of potassium (for root crops) and is not too acid for most crops. Be sure to take a shovel and turn over the soil in random areas to check for rocks, gravel or clay in the ground.

These make gardening a great deal more difficult.

However, don’t let them stop you from planting in a rich soil.

The ideal soil for most crops is slightly acidic. If your soil is too alkaline add peat moss, pine needles, and the decayed leaves, bark and sawdust from any available source.

Peat moss would help if you have a garden in the area. This will loosen up the clay particles.

If you want to grow’ carrots, parsnips, or any plant requiring loose soil add a liberal dose of sand. Add manure (rabbit is the best), compost, shredded newspaper (trace minerals, etc) and any clippings from the area. These should be evenly spread on the surface and then worked’in with a rototiller or a fork.

Once a homogeneous

lightly mixture is reached sprinkle the garden with water and leave it for a week or two in order to compost a bit.

Now the plants can be placed in the garden.

It’s too late to grow tomatoes and peppers from seed. Buy some plants from a reputable nursery (they will sell only healthy plants).

Tomatoes can be placed in the ground a bit lower than they were in the pot.

They will root at the stalk and provide the plant with extra nourishment.

Shade the plants from the sun with newspaper cones or boards so that they won’t get sunstroke.

After a couple of days the plants should be able to stand a maximum of sun. The same care should be taken with peppers also.

When you plant in your garden try to visualize the plant at maturity, both the stalk system and the roots. Doing this you can decide which plants will complement each other. Lettuce has a small root system and large leaves so it goes well with radishes and beets which need protection from the sun. The beets also loosen the soil for the lettuce roots. Weeds should not be overlooked in this regard.

Purslane is often grown with corn the ground from to prevent drying out too rapidly.

Weeds can be used as a mulch and a very good complement to the garden.

Nettle protects the garden from unwanted guests and also increases oils in herbs.

Mulching is the most effective and least used method in gardening.

If you mulch properly they will need little other care for the rest of the summer.

The mulch conserves water, provides needed nutrients, and encourages worms and other friendly insects.

Put away your hoe and get out your mulches!

Good mulches are newspaper, straw, wood chips, sawdust, peatmoss, grasses, seaweed, grass clippings, leaves and leaf mold.

Plant the seeds according to directions, mulch and they should take care of themselves.

Trim seedlings with scissors at least twice.

Try not to plant consistently in rows and plant closer than it says to on the package.

The following plants can be planted now: peas, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions, potatoes, spinach, turnips, beets, carrots, chard, mustard, parsnips, radishes, tomatoes, beans, corn, melons -and strawberries.

This is in no way a complete list.

Check the back of the seed packet for the planting date.

Fhllacidus I -.economics One of the major arguments put forth to justify the Board of Entertainment’s sexist admission policy at pubs has been one of economics.

(The policy: ‘$1 for federation members and girls, $2 for others.)

The new admissibn policy has been credrtied with break-even pubs, as opposed to the financial fiascos of previous summers. , This is a defin$e fallacy. As far as I can discern there are three major reasons for the financial stability of this sutier’s pubs: _’ l at present only one pub per ‘week is being held, as opposed to up to three pubs per week last summer; l the’ one ‘pub per week is being held on Friday night, tihereas the federation ran pubs on Tuesday nights last summer, and l the average price paid for a band this around $200 sumrher is sometiher_e whereas last summer the band cost was anything up to $400 a night. Tht! policy can not therefore be justified o&he basis of economics.

The policy does not seem to have affected significantly the sex ratios at pubs. ’ Even putting aside all of these considerations it seems extren$y hypocritical for the Federation of condemn Students’ Council to discrimination elsewhere, yet condone it within its own auspices.

Could this inconsistency stem from EY belief that principles are ‘only valid if they do not affect you personally?

If so, it may be time to take a look at the people who claim to be your representatives.

friend? I know, we have no w&h to get picked up by some cad who only wants-to get laid.

(Sorry guys, sohetimes preliminariesare necessary. ) At the risk\of sounding like a selfrighteous goody, I am writing because it seems to me that a dangerous delusion is being perpetuated: namely, that girls are cheap and can be had if gotten drunk enough.

If tizese miserable pubs are defensible on the grounds that males need sex, then why not turn the day-care centre in Married Students’ into a brothel at night?

-After all, wives say r‘no” or get pregnant, and gee w&z, service is service.

Why not try a coffee-and-pastry bash some evening, gentlemen...charge the guys; let girls in free, if you really want to bring a wide variety of females out of hiding.

Myself, I’d rather choose my lovers from among the intelligent, sober, kind fellows I know, not- some booze-hound breathing %ck” between his belches. A few such creeps in a room can drastically reduce the girlish population.

And those who stay might charge for it anyway.

7 Finally, would someone specify what the purpose of the pubs is? Is it pimping for the-engineers or providing a place to get drunk or bringing girls into proximitywith guys (ie mixers)?

You’re being hypocritical if the real reason is the latter, but you think that the only way to do it is by sponsoring drunken boozers. Wake up and ask some women what sort of mixed events they would like.

I am pleased to see that student “politics”, particularly the Federation of Students, have maintained their more pertinent characteristics df blatant discrimination and sexism.

P must say, council members, you’ve got a lot of guts, but certainly no balls.

Nonetheless, one question remains: what is the precise “product” that this ‘ ‘ service’ ’ , provided by federation bonvivants, wish to sell? These terms appear - As I sit here on my lofty perch (the top to be misnomers, , but also somedvhat bench in. the Ladies’ sauna), I am contradictory.

First of all,. the words reflecting upon the fuss and fury raging “product” and “sell” indicate an idea of a over the pubs and engineers and certain business enterprise running on a profit‘ ‘ services’ ’ . loss margin. When used in conjunction I went to a summer pub, once, BS an -with indicates an “ service’ ’ , .which escorted guest.

A few “radic’alq” were pointed out Mr. Ram has had the audacity to state that the primary reason for this sad to me as I sipped my scotch and soda (the situation of the pubs is the unbalanced most exotic drink ‘you can get). ratio.

The point is, who do the qrganizers of If Mr. Ram, Mr. Telegdi and the rest of these pubs think they’re dealing with the middle-class hangers-on see this low attendance of women at pubs as the object anyway, a pack of bitches in heat?? Withall attempt at charity of heart, I concede obstructing the path tp success ($$$) of social events, then I can see only one that it may not have occurred to the males concrete solution.

I suggest that more that perhaps one reason for poor female men consider reconstructing their ideas of attindance at the pubs is that the setting is little more than a squalid replication of. wonien and their roles.

When women and co-r-dated higher profit margins become the priorities set for successful pubs, then it seems to me -that the only’ logical recourse of action is this: I strongly urge all-women and\ lhen who will not tolerate such an oppressive policy to boycott all federation-sponsoredpubs on campus.

Take , a ‘day off

Just ‘had to say how nice it is, to get these chevrons sent to me while I’m on my work term. Got so excited when this one dune I took the day off work to read it.

Didn’t get -finished, though, I guess I’ll have to take tomorrow off, too...

While I’m here let me congratulate George Kaufman’ for his writing excellence, especially his “Drifter” review.

The wit -and sarcasm in our chevron is etiough to make anyone take a day off.

And the back-page editorial on women, pubs, add profits - wow! Let me shove my opinion down your throats (besides, from the looks of you: feedback section you mustn’t be getting any letters, and I’ve got nothing better to do, so...) I think lack of women, price of booze, attitude of some males, and quality of entertainment are all problems, and all worth working on.

Whatever happened to fun-seekers?

Whatever happefied to girb who go to pubs to dance? Whatever happened to wine pubs? Of course I’m speaking from my own experience, which ended for the summer about six dweeks ago, so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about...

YetI more j\ e The editorial in the June 1st issue of the Chevron (“Women, pubs arid profits: selting the product”) was the finest article I have ever read in your newspaper.

Or any newspapek for. that matter.

As a statement of belief, it was not only well done, but right on. .

Not that we can Uink our beloved engineering faculty wilt change its view oi womanhood bvernight, but I s&ill hope that the views on that< particular Chevron page will touch a few hearts.

The vitriol flowing forth from last Friday’s chevron cqncerning the B’s football team cannot go unanswered.

They are ‘the most wondrous team that the recreational football league has ever had.

They have disprotied the idea that beerdrinking and sports excellence do not go together and they have prdved the adage that if you can beat them in the alley, you can beat them on the field.

Season ticket bales were the’highest this year ever. Mtinly because of the drawing power of the B’s. _ Team spirit has never been higher.

Several disgruntled members of last year’s team have been disciplined and are performing adequately this season. One of these even caught a T.D. pass in-game 1.

In short, for blood-curdling excitement and true sportsmanship, nothing can approach the B’s,
