it out

Waterloo was the scene, last weekend, of a less than spectacular educational programming conference. Delegates were invited from post-secondary school insitutions all over Ontario to attend a two-and-one-half-day seminar on the state, of student, governm&t and education. was However, attendance somewhat less. than expected and only ten campuses. 1 sent ,/representatives. David Robertson, major co&dinator of all the activity and a federation summer employee, structured the weekend in such a way as to allow the largest number of people to take part in the, different discussions. There\ were _ three workshops schedul&l for each time period -and each topic ’ was to be handled twice. in the weekend. ,Therefore a delegate cquld attend all but two workshops. That’s how it was orginally planned. But Robertson’s first words and words he would be, repeating all weekend were, t‘This conference can ,be restructured, If there are any topics you would like to ‘._discuss or if there are any changes you would like to suggest, please go ahead:” And that is what Workshops were happened.. deleted or combined with others and plenarys turned into kingsize seminars., It was probably the memory of previous conferences that brought about this looseness and free-form attitude among the delegates. Also, the small number of people involved in the weekend made it perfect for less-structured arrangements. Friday 1 evening, delegates gathered to hear Brian Switzman address himself to the subject, the ‘Poverty of Student Life. Switzman has a long history- in student politics and is presently involved with both, the university and the community. He began with an account of “how things used to be in the sixties” with j the student movement and the general unrest all over the world. Some -of his 1 interpretations and assumptions were challenged by those present. A point of disagreement was the number today and yesterday of the

Members carried out their own survey by sending questionnaires to Ontario nursery schools and day-care centres during June of 1972. They found out that only about half the books in these places are bought, often meaning thet get old books donated which are both out of date and in bad condition. Also, about half the respondentsreplied that they are not satisfied with the condition of their lih+srinc

Most replies indicated that too many .of the books available are ‘ ‘Americanized” and too middleclass in content. The majority of the directors want more stories that reflect real-life situations. Quoting from a 1970 study, the group reported that, in most books, “boys are -shown to be active, creative, brave, resourceful, industrious and capable leaders while girls are found to be passive, docile; dependent, incompetent and less intelligent followers. Like the stereotypes of men and women, these images of children’s sex-roles are not based on descriptions of reality.” The group may be contacted for information of aid at 136 Allen St. East, Waterloo, phone (519) 7420432.

false barriers that keep them apart. The most popular seminar in the afternoon session was the discussion about the relation of the university to the community. There seemed to be some disagreement as to who should be involved with the community, at what level, and to what end. The university already has ties with the community at the board of governors level which automatically means business-a selected group. I Some students believe that they should begin to involve the students with people in the lower middle classes and get some sort of feeling from this group that never sees the university. There was a lot of debate over how the students should approach the community and how the community could be brought into contact with university life. ‘Peace corps’ sort of groups were frowned upon and the emphasis was put on working with the people rather than going-in as the leader. The efforts of liberal dogooders are not appreciated by the working class and in fact tend to build up resentment of university students. Projects like legal aid, medical aid, drop in centres were brought up as possible areas of student involvement. But the emphasis was put on getting those people in the community to come to the university and use the facilities there, such as the library. Many lower class groups still feel the university is out of their reach and do not participate on any present ‘programs available at the university. Ways to breach this gap were discussed in this workshop but .unfortunately no workable solutions were brought forth. One delegate summed up the feeling saying, “Perhaps these

One of the major problems in changing is the lack of available alternative books. Few people are writing children’s books in any but the traditional format, and fewer ( get published. _ ’ A K-W group is among the few groups trying to -provide an alternative. Funded by Opportunities For Youth (OFY) for the second year, the group is called - “Before We Are Six” and works in the Unitarian House in Waterloo. They have published one bookMinoo’s Family, available in most K-W bookstores-and have six others in the making. Se.ven people are permanent members of the group, and various assignments, such as graphic and illustration work, is handed out to outsiders on a piecework basis. Minoo’s Family was actually written last year by Sue Crawford, a member of the original group, and illustrated by Frances McGlynn. It has since been revised, and published in more durable form at a selling price of $1.25. All area bookstores which accepted it except the Book Barn

~ people will only feel comfortable in the university environment after the students have gone out into their world and the ties are established between the two groups. ” Out of this seminar came a decision to gather together a file of all existing projects in the different cities that have begun bringing the community and the student closer together. The data will be collected by each campus and then held at a central pbintmost likely the O.F.S. office-for the benefit of any campus in Ontario. Other workshops held Saturday afternoon were the discussion on the speakers bureau and an information exchange on the mechanics of organ izing an educational event. A speakers bureau is presently being established in Ontario with the different institutions drawing up lists of good speakers on their campus. The speakers will be available for the cost of transportation and expenses as well as a small set fee. This will hopefully . build a good selection of Canadian speakers on Canadian topics. Faculty, students, and administration will be included on the list. Saturday evening the delegates found themselves again sitting plenary with no scheduled discussion. Talk turned to the campus media problem and the present controversy raging on York’s campus with their newspaper Excalibur. (See page one) ’ Most delegates agreed that the campus media needed to be completely independent _ of the student governments in order to preserve freedom of the press. They agreed that the campus media should be critical of their student politicians as well as take a critical look at all areas of life around them. Few topics can be considered irrelevant to a students’ life whether it happens on their campus or across the world. However, Waterloo’s federation president Andrew Telegdi made a plea for control of the student media, explaining that the elected officials had a mandate from the people to control the money. the students pay. The money that is then granted to the student newspaper or the student radio station is out of the control of the elected officials. Therefore, he believes that some sort of editorial board needs to be instituted to insure that the media is not controlled by any select group and that its news is studentoriented. There was little agreement with him on this point, as long as any student, media follows certain guidelines. These were outlined by Shane Roberts, “Any student should be allowed to join the staff as long as they are willing to learn all the processes in the writing or whatever they are interested in, and- willing to put in the time it requires. Also, each paper should have a letter-to-the-editor section that is open to any student that wants to express an opinion.” Soon thereafter, the bar opened and the delegates lost themselves in music, drink and sake. The next morning, unable to face the possibility of more workshops the delegates voted to again revise Robertsons’ revisable schedule and held the final plenary first, thing in the morning. Nothing new was covered that had not already been discussed in the workshops and the morning dragged on till lunch, when at five to twelve the delegates breathed a sigh of relief and ‘wandered over for some village goodies. -swan

In preparation for the upcoming federation council meeting tuesday evening, the executive of the federation -got together last tuesday to discuss ,any forseeable issues. j The first consideration was a request for money for a presently operating legal aid project. Cindy Campbell, representing the group, People in Legal Difficulty, ex- _ plained their operation and their present financial situation. Court workers help people that are about to appear in court but do-not have any *assistance and do not know how to handle the system: In conjunction with’ this work they _ have organized a house for,people that do not have any where else to stay and need a- home. The\ court allows people to’ remain in this house rather than detain .-them simplybecause they do not have any homebase. There are now ten people between the ages of 16-21 living in the house. The group has managed to find a ’ more suitable house for their operation but finances are short and in order to keep functioning they need grants or loans from other groups with money. The executive all agreed the group was indeed a worthwhile cause but they did have some difficulty in finding . the money. Eventually Shane Roberts offered to pay ‘one ,month’s rent out ,of the budget for external affairs and then FredBunting volunteered -another months rent from the student grievances fund. The executive will recommend to council thatthese monies be granted to the operation. ‘The total will, .be -666 dollars. David Robertson got the goahead from the executive council to hold a p.re-orientation orientation weekend the-last weekend in August, >pproximately the 23, 24 and 25. .He had been concerned about the possibility of losing some. money on the weekend and wanted the say so of the executive before committing himself. He also tried to get some ‘discussion-going about the importance of education&l events but unfortunately the majority of members present were>’ more interested in getting on with . the agenda. Radio Waterloo’s request for permission to seek a loan from the university administration received a - great deal of attention. Treasurer David _Chapley expressed concern over the fact that the-loan would be tying up 5,666‘ dollars each year for the next ten years. The loan is only Tfor 15,660 but ,because of a previous 17,606 loan, the interest and payments willamount to 5,225.each year for /’ I the next ten years. Robertson countered with a plea priorities on for putting -educational experience rather than economics. John Jongerius

3\-

summed up the problem saying that it was a debate between economicsand an alternate learning situation. Executive eventually, gave Radio Waterloo the permission to get the loan as long as they were given a lease for the property they are now in. The iease should cover at least the ten >ear period. Vice-president Steve Treadwell brought up an issue that had been brought to his attention earlier in the day. Apparently a security officer is being charged with assault by someone that had attended a federation sponsored event on campus and had some sort of contact with security at that time. Some membersof the executive felt the whole problem was none of their business but Roberts saw their commitment at least as far as to investigate what had happened; He said, “We must . feel responsible for anything that happened at anything we sponsor.” Then Robertson and Chapley ‘got themselves into’ a *debate about whether or not a person can be an insurance salesman and at the same time be a fascist; The possibility seemedto escape Chapley but he was promptly . reprimanded. Treadwell - informed , ,!he executive that the federation was about to institute a phone in the old rap room for students to use to find housing in the area: He has received complaints from students that have been denied housing only because they are students. The possibility of pressing charges against these landlords is being looked into. The situation at York with their newspaper Excalibur was brought before the executive. -Telegdi thought the whole thing was none of our business but many other members of the executive agreed that the problem needed attention. They were, urged to A send, telegrams in asking the council to hold off judgement until- the student body can be polled. The matter will be brought to council next ,tuesday when there will be more infomation. Jongerius moved that the photo ’ co-op equipment be auctioned off in public in the fall. His motion was accepted readily as a solution to their problem of deciding what to do with the nearly useless equipment that at present no one ’ has access to. He also suggested that. David Monoogian be allowed use of the room until the fall in return for setting up the auction and cleaning the equipment. Everybody liked that idea too. Treadwell was directed to look into the still pressing question of the architecture students and their I honours degrees in environmental studies that they never received. , The case is being tested in the courts and -it seems that the executive did not know much about it so he is to seek out the information. _ * And finally it all came to an end.,

.‘PropOsed site inspected The delegation representing the World Student Games Association -was here last week to inspect the facilities and accomodations’ the K-W area will have to offer in their bid for the 1975 games. The delegation, comprised of four persons, spent three days in the area talking with members of the K-W organizing committee and inspecting facilities and accomodations which would be ‘used if the games were to come to the K. W area. The delegation of Dr. Ludovit Komadel of Czechoslavakia, Dr. Charles Wenden of England,, Nick Rodis of United States and Eugenio Scarpiello of Italy, was impressed with the accomodations of the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier. Dr. Wenden and Mr. Rodis felt that there were very few places in the world that could . match these. accomodations. Dr. Wenden also felt that this would be the strong point in t-he KitchenerWaterloo bid for the 1975 games and- it would be highly considered when the time comes to vote for the 1975 site. It appears that there was some I disagreement about’ the seating capacity of the track and field facilities in the K-W bid. Mr. Scarpiello felt that the proposed seating capacity of 12,500 would be inadequate. He was under the impression that a capacity of 18,000 to 20,000 was more inline for the track and field facilities. Carl ‘Totzke said that if the K-W bid was successful and if there were indications that the planned seating capacity of 12,500 would be insuf f i&e-n t temporary bleachers would be added. Totzke felt that there was little sense in making changes that, possibly, could not be met. - $ l-

’

The delegation was also impressed with the number and quality of athletic facilities which are already available for training’ and competition.’ As it looks at present the only point which might cause the Kitchener-Waterloo area to lose the bid for the 1975 World Student Games would be th,at of the seating capacity of the track and field stadium. This stadium” will also be used for the opening and closing ceremonies. There was a. daily attendance of over 20,000 for the three day track and field at the 1970 games. held ’ competition _ in Torino, Italy. There is a rumour that Mexico City is also bidding for the games. This bid may affect the K-W position because Mexico City has - the facilities which were constructed for the 1968 Olympics but Reg McAfee from the US passes Lasse Viren of L%-rland with about! 306 they no longer have the acmetres to go in the 3000 metre race held at ;Birchmount Stadium, comodations for the athletes and Scarborough last Saturday.

It’s tempting to say--“well, Sam Peckinpab has done it againcreated another tasteless,. bloody and even boring movie.” But although Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is even more boring than the last two Peckinpa! films, Junior Bonner ‘and the Getaway, it appears that Garrett isn’t even a Peckinpa h product. It is, according to the credits, directed by him. However, it seems that Sam lost control of the filming somewhere in the middle because he’went over budget and the backers at MGM decided he needed some more account-bookoriented minds looking eve; his shoulder. Rumour also has it that Peckinpah had nothing to say about the fi!m’s editing, which is sadly evident. This is a strange position tq be in, defending Sam Peckinpah whose excesses in film--blood and violence always exceed what I find acceptable. But in his previous films there has been a tightness and tension which kept up the pace and a sense of mood and place especially with his westerns. (The Getaway has to be ;!n exception to all this since, that movie despite jts frenetic pace, reached ’ the absolute in triviality.) Well, poor Sam, so he lost his film midway. But unfortunately not all can be blamed on the MGM moguls. .__ Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid now showing at the Lyric is sadly miscast with James Coburn who plays Garrett almost the only professional actor in the’lot. Jason Robarts Jr. makes a brief appearanceas Governor Lew Wallace and Slim Pickens and Chill Wills play their usual stock characters of tough guys with hearts of gold. - -Kris Kristopherson, count& rock’s golden boy, makes an at-tempt at playing Billy the Kid. And .a very dapper Billy he is, almost the fashion plate of Lincoln County in white shirt and black suit. Admittedly I am prejudiced in this as well, since I remember seeing a photo of the real Billy the Kid dressed in greasy overalls and dirty shirt. Someone who knew the real terror of the Arizona territory remarked that ithe only way you could stand being near’ the Kid was “if you stood upwind of him.” Kristopherson . with his cleanly shaven cheeks and boyish grin is obviously much more lovable than the real Kid, but hardly seems like ’ the” person wti0 killed people out of sheer spite. A young Steve McQueen is an, actor (another Peckinpah favorite so it is strange that he wasn’t chosen for the part) with enough sneer and swagger to convey the toughness and amorality of the real Billy and of the spirit of the territory at that time. After Kristopherson the actors (that word should be taken in its loosest sense) deteriorate even more rapidly in quality. The very well publicicized Bob, Dylan appears on the screen as the Kid’s sidekick much given to leaning

. graphic

against buildings and ap.pearing out of shadows with meaningful looks on his face. The pretentiousness of the movie reaches unbearable heights at the moment when Garrett turns to Dylan sitting alone at a table in the saloon and asks “what’s your name, kid.” An‘swers. Dylan, “That’s a good question.” Later, when Dylan turns up it- the Kid’s hideout he decides his name is Alias. Yes,~ existentialism has reached the golden west, folks. The hangers-on around Billy were actually Kristopherson’s own band. Unfortunately, it shows. Not one of them --has enough acting presence of mind to develop a believable character-which is not the- case in even John Wayne westerns. Rita Coolidge, by the way, iS also in this star-packed extravaganza as Maria, Billy’s Mexican maiden. She is very pretty and she smiles sweetly and it is a good thing she sings better than she acts. Because of the disjoinied’ scenes Pat Garrett reminded me very much of a low-budget and amateurish western called Zachariah. Zachariah was almost surreal, failing because of bad acting and awkward dialogue; but it came closer to protraying the gunfighter in the west and the relationship between the two young men than did Peckinpah with his big budget and cast of celebrities. One of the most absurd scenes in Pat Garrett is when the sheriff after meeting up with three of Billy’s gang in a saloon calmly and slowly kills two of the gang and the barkeeper while he has Dylan read the IabeEs of food,tins behind the bar. After a scene like that the_ audiep*se is still, --sgpJosed to empavhi’ie with a I’oc&i”sheriff’s ,wife when her husband is killed. This is after the three, Garrett, the sheriff and his shotgun-packing wife, ambush one of Billy’s friends. A film like Pat Garett and Billy the Kid is so much more offensive than something like Zachariah or even John Wayne westerns because of the violence (slowmotion killing of tied chickens yet) and because audiences unfortunately take Peckinpa h more seriously. And worse yet, they don’t seem to see the violence on the screen or feel the violence that is being done to them.

by don ballanger

The plot, by the way, has to do with Garrett being hired as sheriff by the cattle ranchers to run Billy out of their peace-loving territory or kill him if he won’t go. Naturally, silly won’t go peaceful. The legend has been depicted many times before in films that are a lot less pretentious and better acted. And Bob Dylan’s music isn’t worth the price of admission either. Deanna

Lions and lambs Dvorak, Legends, London ’ Philharmonic Orchestra cond. Raymond Leppard. (Philips 6500188.) Dvorak’s Legends is a gem of a record which happens along only once- in a. long while. . Brisk happy tunes are a delight by themselves but here are coupled with expert performance and a first rate recording. What more could you ask? The music doesn’I_ drag since it’s in the form of ten cuts each 3 to 5 minutes long., Its origin is the same melodic folk vein as Dvorak’s popular ‘Slavonic Dances’. Highly recommended for anyone. Soundtrack of Henry’VUI and his Six Wives, Angel SF0 36895. David Munrow must be a busy man now that his prebaroque music has become so popular due to those BBC series Elisabeth R and Hecry the 8th. There are now 3 spinoff albums on Angel the most recent being the oniy one actually labklled as a soundtrack. This one contains much of that fascinating and energetic ancient material that has gained such a following recently but unfortunately also much original material by Munrow himself written to coincide with dramatic moments in the series. It is modernistic music played on ’ ancient instruments and is just an earsore when compared with the tuneful vitality of the older works. A letdown from the fine ‘Plea,sures of the Court’ album, Angel S 36851, which preceded this one. - pete smith

Going , mad with ,Kurt /

Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut Fitzhenry & Whiteside Limited, (New York: 1973) price $9.15. jr.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., is a writer. That means he puts words together in combinations that amuse him, or make him think they will amuse others. He is paid to put the words together like that. Most writers do not get paid, but a few get paid very well. Kut Vonnegut gets paid very well, very well indeed. He was not always paid well. For a while, after he had tried to fight for his country against some Europeans, he worked for a very large company just like most of the rest of us. But he was writing stories at the same time, and they were good stories, they amused most of the people who read them. These stories were about the war he had tried to fight in, or about the large company he worked for. The people in the stories, and the things that happened to them, were mostly made up by Kurt Vonnegut. But a lot of it was true, or at least mostly true. The reason many people were amused by Vonnegut’s word-combinations is that he did not try to be a writer in the way that people were used to other people trying to be a write’r. He didn’t bandy about all the time with other writers. He didn’t go to elaborate pains to disguise the fact that the words he wrote were just words he decided to write. In fact, he often/ admitted openly in his stories that he was making it all up, and that he sometimes didn’t know what to make his characteFs do next. But, he always thought of something for them to do eventually, and his stories were published. People paid money to read his combinations of words, because they were too lazy or_ too busy to put their own combinations of words together. They used his. Most professional writers had a good racket going, as far as getting money is concerned. They would put combinations of words together. Then their publishers would print off thousands of copies of those word-corn binations, and put expensive hard covers around them. Then they w&Id sell the “rights” to these copies -to clubs which had trapped tens of thousands of people into choosing “this month’s selection.” After those thousands of people had i chosen the “select ion”, the publishers would print a lot of words and pictures about the book in variousnewspapers and magazines, called “ads”. Ads were, by this time in man’s evolutionary stance, technologically designed to make people think they had to have something which they did not really have to have at all. So, all the people who were influenced by these ads would rush to books stores and pay anywhere from $4.95 on up for a copy of these combinations of words. Then, when all those people had been used up, the rest of the people would be taken care of by selling copies of the book in cheaper, more easily destroyable forms, called paperbacks. Paperbacks were less expensive, but also quite profitable.

This was called the “publishing business”, ‘by which hundreds of executives, idea-men, ad-men, secretaries and other unnecessary people received money because one man had put together a combination of words. Kurt Vonnegut did not do this at first. The publishers and idea-men and ad-men, did not think his word-combinations would amuse very many people. So, the hardcover racket was skipped, and Vonnegut’s books were simply printed in paperback form right off, and this is the amount of money Vonnegut or anyone else expected to make off these paperbacks: doodleysquat. Which means very little indeed. But a lot of people were amused by these paperbacks, and told a lot of other people, who were also amused, and lots and lots of these paperbacks were printed and sold, and lots and lots of executives kicked themselves for not making it a “selectidn of the month”. So Vonnegut had the money and the audience to put together almost any combination of words he wanted, and he put together several he liked. But there was one combination he wanted to put together more than any other: it was about his being captured in the fight against the Europeans, and how he saw an entire city which was not a military target bombed to smithereens so that his country could save Europe. And so Vonnegut put that combination of words together, and made up a lot of people, and situations, even an entire planet and a new way of looking at things, and blended them with real people and real situations 2nd a real planet, and even admitted several times during the book that it was just a combination of words he had thought up and not for anybod) to take the whole thing very seriously. But a lot of people did. And a moviewhich is a combination of words plus pictu,res-was made about the book, which was ca I led SJaughterhouse-Five. And even Kurt Vonnegut started taking the whole thing pretty seriously. He took it so seriously that he decidedeven though he had already put together the combinatiop of words he wanted most badly to put together-to put together another combination of words. This time, Vonnegut did it right. He talked to a lot of people about it, which is called an interview. The interviews, like ads, are calcvlated to make a big fuss, in a lot’ of people’s minds ’ a bout something, in this case the new book. He also let the publishers put an expensive hard, brightly-coloured cover on it and make it a “selection of the month.” And ads were made up about it. Vonnegut’s picture was put on the back;after it was taken by the author-camera, which takes the pictures of all author? and makes them all look alike. In the new combination of words, which he calls by another combination of wordsBreakfast of Champions-Vonnegut makes up some more characters and talks about “going mad.” He even makes one of his characters go mad and hurt a lot of other people.

He also talks about himself-Vonnegutgoing mad. He thinks a lot of people are going mad these days, because they don’t know whether they are machines or animals with a free will. This is one of Vonnegut’s favorite topics, but he has already put together great combinations of . words about it, and adds nothing new here. He also has drawn many little pictures in the book, to illustrate what he is writing about: assholes, flags, womens’ panties ,and beavers, tombstones, trucks, ETC. And so on. Kurt Vonnegut used to be a very special writer. Now he is just another “selection of the month.” So it goes.. . . . -george

recently. Four makes it on the strength of the guitar interplay between Andy Turner and Ted Powell, whd weave complex acoustic-electric tapestries which overcome reservations as to the weakness of their material. A pleasant “easy listening” hard rock album, all in all, perhaps most attractive to those of us who need something to carry us over until the next I Who album is released. Even less heralded, but equally talented, is Atlantis (Vertigo 6360 609), whose debut album showcases a rough-hewn vocalist named lnga Runipf. Ms. Rumpf comes on like a healthy cross between Genya R’avan and Julie Driscoll, and is ably supported by a group whose musicianship is about 68 times as interesting as that of the Ten Years After-Savoy BrownFleetwood Mat variety. Uninspiring original songs, once again, but on the whole Atlatitis is 3 worthy companion to two other excellent-but-largely-unknown Vertigo acts, Jade Warrior and Gentle Giant. Ooh La La (Warner Brothers BS 2665), finally, continues the tradition of wildly variable quality exemplified on previous Faces’ albums. When Rod Stewart is wailing up front, and The Faces restrict themselves to providing a sound rock’n’r@l backing, this is one great band: “Borstal Grown,” and “My Fault” Boys,” “Silicone are the killer cuts here, and will provide sufficient justification for acquiring Ooh La La for fecllow Stewart aficionados. To get to these however, one has to put up with three Ronnie Lane vocals, the usual throwaway instrumental, and a batch of at best mediocre songs, so be discreet unless you’re already a Faces person. A suggestion for Warner Brothers: given the success of the Stewart-Jeff Beck collaborations on such classic items as “All Shook Up” and “Jailhouse Rock,” a similar venture with, The Faces might well result in their first album of uniformly acceptable quality.

As one who came to rock via Motown rather than Liverpool, I’ve often had difficulty appreciating this week’s English super-group. Procul Harum drove me back to Bach; Led Zepplin drove me back to drink; and the Yes-Pink Floyd’ brand of cosmic noodling drives me back, period, preferably right out of whereever it’s being played. Thus the arrival of a batch of goodto-excellent albums by British artists provides an opportunity to transcend functional Anglo-phobia, and to reaffirm that national origins have little bearing on a music which represents one of the few concrete manifestations of the “global village.” Although Rick Wakeman is a member of Yes, his The Six Wives of Henry VIII (A & M SP 4361) is well above the level of their recent work. Wakeman’s keyboard virtuousity has been abundantly displayed previously, and it is certainly in evidence here; but since it is accompanied by a coherent and well organized set of arrangements, it achieves a contextual validity all too rare in music ofthe flash-myplimsoul variety. Henry VIII is somewhat vitiated by the current craze for frequent and arbitrary tempo changes, although Wakeman’s ability to compose intriguing melodies makes this’much less annoying than it could be. In the final analysis, however, it impresses as an ambitious and largely successful “concept album”, of particular interest to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer fans who find Yes’s last few albums more off the wall than close to the edge. Also in the “nice surprise” category is Wishbone Ash’s latest, Wishbone Four (MCA-327)-,which makes me sorry that I missed them when they were at Lutheran

Billion Dollar Babies (Reprise BS 2685) by Alice Cooper: when they stick to /rocbin’ n’rollin’, a reasonably diverting group; but almost half of this album consists of some rather tacky excercises in be-draggled pretentiousness, and without visua! theatrics these are about amusing as... a -clutch of dead babies (a “motif”). Most curious is “Unfinished Sweet,” which for some reason interpolates a theme from From Russia With Love midway through. Oh well, if they’ll let me be in their dream... Ekseption 5 (Phillips 6423 042): their best yet. The classical melodies from Bach and Beethoven are used as jumping-offpoints .for some excellent instrumental solos, with trumpeter Rein van der Broek and keyboard man Rick van der Linden standing out as highly accomplished musicians incorporating mainstream jazz styles in their playing. Phillips’ superb recorded sound captures it all on one of the most satisfying of the’rock-classical fusions proliferating recently. Bursting at the Seams (A & M SP 4383) by The Strawbs: this album is bursting, all right, but hardly with talent. If your taste runs to elaborately produced, -lyrically banal, and one-step-this-side-of-the-grave schlock-pop, you could conceivably enjoy this, although I had difficulty in staying awake through both sides. Moody Bluesers will like it, I suppose. . Raunch’n’Roll (Atco SD 7018) by Black Oak Arkansas: the worst live album since Bloodrock’s, and that’s saying something. The only remarkable thing about this singularly unappetizing group is lead singer Jim Dandy, who has John Kay’s pipes and Tom Jones’ ego, and should’ singlehandedly traumatize anyone unfortunate enough to listen to this album. Historians will remember that Black Oak Arkansas was once hyped as “The new Rolling Stones” by. . . yes indeed, Rolling Stone, acd that ought tq make you think twice before renewing your subscription. -pad

On March 16, at a public rally sponsored by the Canadian Women’s Coalition to Repeal the Abortion Laws, Dr. Henry Morgantaler publicly declared for the first time that he has performed nearly 5,000 abortions in his Montreal clinic. Following are excerpts from his statement which was greeted with a standing ovation from the audience of 500.

n October 1967 I presented a brief to the House of Commons Health committee in the name of the Humanist groups in Canada urging abortion on request in the first three months of pregnancy. It was a revolutionary idea at the time and to my knowledge the first occasion in Canada that a responsible organization had made such a proposal. As a result of the publicity surrounding my appearance in Ottawa and the many others that followed after I became the of the Humanist first president Association of Canada _ and continued law repeal, campaigning for abortion many women started coming to my office in Montreal saying to me: “Doctor, I heard your views and I am in trouble, can you help me?” I realized that I could do nothing .for these women and that there was no help available except to those who could travel to Japan or England: there were ,at that time no competent reputable doctors in Montreal or Canada to provide assistance to these women. I used to excuse myself saying that I could not aid them because it was against the law, that if I did help I could go to jail for the restof my life, that I had to think of my wife .and children etc. I saw these women drift off in despair, many of them to go to back-alley butchers, to risk death and injury at the hands of incompetent people, to abort themselves, or in some cases to go on to give birth to unwanted babies. As the abortion ‘campaign intensified, the stream and finally the flood of women seeking abortion made me realize the magnitude of the problem. I became painfully aware that there were thousands of women in Canada denied basic human rights and forced to risk their very lives when seeking an abortion because a law based on ignorance and religious prejudice would not allow them to obtain safe medical abortions and permit doctors to offer this help. It became clear to me that unjust laws create victims and that in this case the potential victims are all women of childbearing age subject to unwanted pregnancies, an accident of normal sexual activity, not the result of any crime. It dawned on me that it was not enough to fight for repeal of these barbarous laws but that it was also imperative to help the victims of these laws who could not wait months or years until the law would be changed. Their plight was real and they needed help NOW. I had a choice. I could continue to hide behind a screen of legality and refuse while denouncing these laws as cruel, unjust and dangerous to women, or else I had to defy them and offer help to women in order to protect them. , After a great deal of soul-searching I mustered enough courage to choose the only morally defensible course; to offer a helping hand in spite of the law. I am glad I had enough strength to

‘I am not a -criminal

make this decision and to bear the stress resulting from it. I Two conditions had to be met in order to make such a decision valid and consistent with my philosophy and my conscience: the operations had to be done competently under the best, most modern and safe medical conditions; secondly, the fees had to be reasonable and adjustable downward even to zero, so that no person would be denied this service because of inability to pay. Both of these conditions were fulfilled. And now I wish to share with you tonight a secret widely known in Montreal, Quebec and by many people across Canada. I wish to make public that I have been doing abortions in my clinic in Montreal for the past few years and that I am proud, of having helped a few thousand women obtain safe medical operations. I am convinced that by doing so I have saved many from death and many others from injury, disease and tremendous anguish. I am firmly convinced that the law under. which I am now being tried is unjust,cruel and dangerous to women and unnecessarily restrictive. I claim the right to myself as a medical doctor to’provide help to my patients who want it without the approval of a threeman Board and without being forced to perform abortions in a hospital while I can do it well, under the best medical conditions, in my own clinic. I claim that my duty as a doctor is to assist women with unwanted pregnancies who ask for an abortion, to provide them with the best medical care available so that they are not exposed to the dangers

of self-induced or incompetent operations done by quacks without medical knowledge. I claim that my moral obligation and duty to my patients to save their lives and health transcends the dead letter of a law based on religious superstition and false premises, a law which is widely disregarded by most Canadians as obsolete and unjust, and which has just been declared an unwarranted invasion of privacy by no less an authority than the Supreme Court of the United States. I finally claim that not only is my action in providing safe medical abortions to women wanting them, morally right; but that I firmly believe that it will be declared legal in due time by the courts of this country. Until such time that the highest courts of the land decide on these important questions, I believe that, according to legal opinion, the Canadian abortion laws are in violation of the Canadian Bill of Rights, and am therefore convinced that doctors performing abortions in good faith and by accepted medical standards are within the bounds of legality even though they disregard the stipulations limiting them as to the locale and conditions under which these operations can be performed. You are well aware that I am now before the courts of the country on three charges of the Criminal Code. Conspiracy to perform an abortion (Mark wellconspiracy; apparently it is a crime still for a woman to ask a doctor to perform a safe abortion and if he agrees, the two of them are apparently engaged in a criminal conspiracy); as well as two other charges of having performed illegal abortions. I cannot of course for obvious reasons

go into details of the cases; but can tell you that I intend to fight these cases as a major challenge to the very laws under . which I am being tried. I do not believe that doing medically safe abortions is a criminal act. On the contrary, I feel very strongly that denying women safe abortions and exposing them to death and injury is criminal. I am firmly convinced that all those who oppose the liberalization of the C.anadian abortion laws and those who have the power to act to change these laws yet do not do so, have a moral and perhaps more than moral responsibility for the deaths and injuries of women who died and continue to die and be injured as a result of self-inflicted or botched incompetent abortions, because they were denied access to safe medical procedures before the law. If I have decided to speak of my clinic tonight in spite of the legal risks involved and the fact that I have three charges under the Criminal Code pending against me, it is because I believe that it is important for the Canadian people to know that clinics such as mine do exist, that they are safe and of benefit to women seeking abortions and that they would be the ideal solution to the abortion issue in this country by providing specialized facilities, easy of access, to all those in need of them at low cost under medicare. If I ‘have decided to take some risk tonight by making these public‘ disclosures, it is because I realize that in spite of the numbers of women helped in my clinic and similar facilities, there are still in this country thousands more who are deprived of this type of help because of the restrictions of the law. The requirements of a three-man Board and this in a restricted number of hospitals severely limits access to legal abortions and thus makes them difficult to obtain for the majority of Canadian women desiring to do so; this provisionris contrary to the Canadian Bill of Rights and violates the fundamental right of privacy recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court. It is high time the Canadian government follows the example given by the U.S. Supreme Court and repeals the Canadian abortion laws. The excuses given for inaction are no longer valid; there are a clear majority of Canadians, two out of-three, who favour repeal. There is no reason why the Canadian government should deny Canadian women the services freely available across the border by imposing restrictions found unreasonable and dangerous by enlightened legal and medical authorities. ’ I hope the time will come soon when birth control clinics including out-patient abortion facilities will be established across Canada, when women in need of abortion will be allowed to have them without legal hindrance, under the best and most modern conditions. I hope that my medical experience as well as my campaign for safe abortions for women will contribute to this end. In the meantime, I pledge you to continue the fight for this fundamental human right. Looking back on the last few difficult years I feel a great sense of accomplishment; I feel that of all the things I have done, providing safe abortions for women in an atmosphere of compassion and understanding was the most important and gratifying thing I have done in my life. ---from

This is a time of shrinking university enrolment, rising tuition and widespread disillusionment with higher education. In spite of this, the policy of the university of Waterloo is that the professors teach students only as a sideline to their research and studies. Consider the professor ev&‘lyations at the end of each term. The results are seldom seen by the students tid are often ignored by the professors. Onl! alternative; proposed by a group of students in ‘a 1B Syqtems Design Sociology class, is a mid-term evaluation of a less fohalized format (ie. not multiple choice). Although this format makes it harder to get statistics, wider student response in comments is achieved. A survey of the professors was also done to get their opinion of the ‘formal survey currently in use. The results of the 1B Systems Design survey sho_wed that a mid-term su_r)ley was preferred by the professors and that_unlessclass time was given,. student returns to the questionnaire were poor. There was a greater-range in’ the students’ comments as expected: iThe professo& also fe!t that the formalihed survey did not pinpoint any problems if there were any. - In conclusion it is rsommended that professor evaluations be carried out during the mid-term, to improve the professor’s teaching techniques and to dispei the feeling that professors are not inteieste-d in the progress of their students.
