Who else would

do it?

It must have .bekn students The student is the most universally ’ despised creature in the eyes of many Waterloo landlords. This was made especially evident at the Wednesday housing forum, with representatives from the city; provincial and federal governments, the local real estate board and a federation lawyer in attendance. Local realtor and apartment manager Margaret Schiketanz, told a crowd of about thtiee hundred people that her apartments were eighty thousand dollars in debt, due to irresponsible student tenants. “They shine their shoes with the window drapes, paint doors and walls weird colours, rip up floors and rugs and one clown even drove his car into the swimming pool”, she. told the audience. Schiketanz also claimed that she had lost ten thousand dollars in broken leases from students. “However, I’m still taking students but now I’m a little more selective. The good students unfortunately must pay for the bad students.” When reminded that the courts - were the proper place to recover damages from the vandal-students she exclaimed “that I could get no

monetary satisfaction from the courts.” When pressed further she said simply “You cannot get blood out of a stone”. Jim Breithaupt, Liberal MPP for Kitchener reassured the resentful realtor that justice would come. “The pendulum has swung too far in favour of the tenant, and in the near future the government will move to correct that situation.” Not wishing to be outdone by his competitors, Max Saltsman, New Democratic MP for Waterloo North joined the discussion by telling students that they were already the most heavily subsidized class of people in Canada. He would rather see any available money go for the construction of

new senior citizen dwellings rather than new student housing. Saltsman also added, that since he had just heard about the meeting, he was unprepared to discuss, in detail, the student housing problem. However, he did say that it would be difficult to write legislation that would guarantee students equal access to apartments in the private sector. “This type of law simply could not be enforced”, he said. U of W President Burt Matthews was prepared to do even less for the student. “It is not the university’s job to manage commercial apartments, for it is already being done by the private sector. The university has already provided 4,160 student beds,” he ‘said. To provide more*beds would be economically unfeasible due to a lack of funds, and the high summer vacancy rate. Matthews attitude towards the problem was simply to wash his hands of it as quickly as possible. Needless to say, this type of ‘solution’ does not help the student still without decent housing. The floor was then turned over to students to question the panel. They disagreed, rather loudly, with Schiketanz’s assessment of the problem. Opinions _ranged from some mistrust to outright denunciations of her statements. One student pointed out that since

she was making over a million dollars a year, she could well afford the paltry five per cent loss attributed to student damage. She retorted that his figures were not mathematically sound, as he did not take into account interest, taxes, and other variables. Another student, Doug Spadafore, claimed that he and other students went to the offices of Dubrick Realty and asked them if they had any townhouses to rent. Dubrick told them that all the townhouses had been rented; this was at four o’clock in the afternoon. According to Spadafore the same townhouses were advertised for rent in the following days Kitchener-Waterloo Record. He left the feeling with the group that the major real estate companies , were discriminating against students. Schiketanz then reiterated her earlier statements about the amount of student damage done to her apartments and expressed a desire to show these damaged apartments to students. The Chevron took her up on this offer. Reporters from the Chevron then visited the Panorama Apartment biilding at the corner of Westmount and Erb streets. According to Schiketanz five of these apartments were totally destroyed. Yet on a guided tour given by apartment superintendent Alphos Michiels, little damage in excess of wear and tear was noted. In fact, the superintendent stated that he did not mind having students as tenants. He noted that twenty-three of the ninety units were presently occupied by

students, although students were charged fifteen dollars a month more than ‘other people’. Reporters also visited the Hillsdale apartments at University Ave. and Dale Cres. Here damage was more extensive with garbage being intentionally strewn throughout the apartment, the newlt installed waiting room couch, being set on fire and someone driving a car into the swimming pool. The superintendent at Hillsdale could not prove this damage was done by students but said, “It must have been students, who else would do it”. As for the rooms, oniy one recently’ vacated room was in a sorry state among the fifteen shown to us. A- crayon drawing of Charlie Brown on a door was the worst of this damage. The superintendent said that students were still welcome provided they were a married couple and that they paid a years rent in advance. This ‘welcoee’ fee comes to $2100 dollars for the cheapest unit. This type of extortion clearly contravenes the Landlord and Tenant Act. The Federation of Students has a lawyer that is available to students free of charge for situations just as this. (call ext. 2402) After viewing the relatively light damage to the apartments, one could not help but wonder whether or not the shortage is really being caused by a few real estate companies controlling so many units and so much land in Kitchener-Waterloo. -mike

For those who co&plained, the four-dollar -Guess Who tickets . really were a bargain, according to Federation of Students president Andy Telegdi.

I. The. first report of the Food‘ Prices Review Board, appointed by the Government of Canada on May 28th, has been made public. The board held an organizational meeting on June 18 and then began investigations into the nature and causes of recent price increases in Canada. During the past month the board has been meeting in Ottawa. On the. second day, senior j representatives of the rime major .._ food retailers. were present. Discussions were .held with producers as to how supplies of _ Canadian sproducts can be increased and stabilized; meetings , were- arranged with processors and food manufacturers. ’ The, board is particularly concerned with the impact of rising food- prices on fixed and. limited -income families, and has, at the outset, been directing its attention to a number of staple products whose retail prices have, in mos! instances, been rising and, more serious still, whose prices appear certain to rise sharply in the immediate future unless action is taken to hold them in check. LTheprice of brea,d has risen by , a relatively modest 4 per cent over the past 12 months. However, preliminary results of ,a study y being conducted in depth indicate that, unless present policies of the Canadian , Wheat^ L Board are

changed, there will be a further increase of some 15 per cent during September and another 20 percent in October, as the bakers’ supplies of flour have to be replenished. The price of macaroni has also risen nearly 4 per cent ‘in the past _ 12 months. Thedomestic price to millers of the particular wheat (durum) required to make’ macaroni and other pastas has risen from $1.95 to $7.99 per bushel (about 309 per cent) since July 19 when the Canadian Wheat Board last changed its support price pslicy,“Unless action is taken the retail prices of. these products, which have already risen slightiy over the past year, may be expected to rise a further 75 per cent in ‘the near future.

EDMONTON&UP&The Edmonton Boycraft Kraft Committee recently presented a submission requesting that the government officially back the boycott’. The boycott was institut,ed several years ago by the National Farmer’s Union to force Kraft into collective bargaining with dairy farmers. At present Kraft is one of the largest users of milk in many areas of Canada;- the farmers in order to find a product must sell to Kraft at prices Kraft sets: L The NFU pointed out Kraft pays far too little and that only through collective bargaining can the farmers get a fair price. d The committee asked that the Alberta government refuse to allow Kraft products in its buildings and cafeterias and officially support the boycott. Their argument was that the government should put the interests of consumers and workers before the _ interests of private corporations. Then it was the government’s turn. Hugh_ Horn&, Alberta’s Minister of Agriculture led off. Horner said that they were already overregulated and that more regulations would create more problems for the little guy. How this could be applied to the boycotting .of a , corporation -that made 91 million dollars profit in 1971, was not made clear. Hissecond notion was that if we corporations we would . regulated also have to regulate wages-

which is a recomm:endation of his own Conservative party in their fight against inflation. Horner ahso said that the government’s developmental loans has helped start 5 cheese processing plants, .- enough, according to the minister, to compete with _ Kraft’s 2.7 billion dollar processing, packaging and advertising empire. ’ When it was pointed out by the boycotting committee that Kraft also controlled merchandising, price levels and advertising, Horner accused the committee of being “negative” and left the meeting. When the Boycott Committee asked the remaining representatives. to address their demands, --“Bob Dowling, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs said that Horner had- only “indirectly talked about it”. Dowling went on to say that the answer to the problem lay in the government’s subsidizing of producers andprocessors. Hedid not explain how this could affect Farmers who are underpaid because’ of Kraft’s control of the market. Dowling said that. the boycott was already more or less in effect, since the Alberta government’ places a priority on buying Alberta products. Fred,Peacockr the final member of the government committee was against the boycott on principle and in favour of the monopolies. Peacock said that regulating corporations would destroy monopolies and when you destroy monopolies you destroy individuak and the incentive to get ahead. - The government representative never discussed the idea of giving verbal support to- the boycott. The government will continue to subsidize processors and Canadian farmers -will continue to-move to the cities at the rate of 1000 .a month. However., therre may be some consolation in the words of one of the government’s repr%ntatives : . “I don’t, eat Kraft:. I eat Black , Diamond. Kraft tastes like goap.”

-In June of 1905.. 200’ delegates, representing a variety of’ working class organizations, came together in Chicago, Illinois to found/a movement that would offer workers an alternative to the conservative, professionaloriented craft unionism of the American Federation of Labour (AF of, L). ’ ihe key speakers inicuded.Eugene V. Debs, leader of the Socialist Party of Amer’ica, William D. (Big Bill) Haywood of the Western Federation of Miners, ‘. “Mother” Mary Jones a little white haired_ lady of 75 who had been a militant labour organizer for more than ’ fifty years. Other delegates included Daniel De Leon, a Marxist intellectual and leader of the Socialist Labour Party; A.M. editor of the International Simon& Socialist Revie’w; Charles 0. Sherman;, general, secretary of the United Metal Workers; William E. Trautmann of the United ’ Brewery Workers; Father Thomas J. Hagerty, a catholic priest and editor of the “Voice of Labour”; and Lucy Parsons, widow of one of the anarchists put to death following ‘the Chicago Haymarket riot of 1886. Although there were many fundamental ,-disagreements among those assembled (a cause of the,later faction fights which contributed to the decline ,of their ,movement), they shared a common’ _ goal.-ab’olishment of capitalism as a system of production and the establishment of a classless society. They wanted a j true cooperative commonwealth. The philosophy of the Indust-rial Workers of the World (IWW) was precisely summed up in the preamble to its constitution which reads in part: “The working class . qnd employing have no thing in comclass mon.. .between these two classes a struggle must go on un_til the workers of the w&/d organize as a class, take ROssession of the j earth,. and the machinery of productidn and qbolish the wage system. ” uncompromising This militant, -stance automatically pitted the fledgling IWW against the ruling class and the state ‘which responded to IWW organizing with legal and physical repression. ’ In 1908, on the West coast,-the IWW conducted a series of !‘Free Speech” _fights.. was standard. An t The pattern organizer for the IWW would mount a soapbox in a busy public place and talk to workers about the OBU (One Big Union-a;other common name for the 1 IWW.) ’

songs and one play have been written in his honour. You see, Joe Hill was a Wobbly organizer and at the same time hejwrote songs for the union. In fact, he wrote a good number of the union songs which have been sung on pick/et lines for the last fifty years. But he was framed on a murder charge in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was executed by a firing squad oniNov. 19, 1915 despite two protests from the Swedish government; the intervention of President Woodrow Wilson, and an <international campaign carried out by the lWW and other unions (including a special appeal from Samuel Gompers, founder of the AF-of L). Hill chose the firing squad over hanging (they ,gave’ \h+im a _choice) because he wished to die 1ike.a soldier in the service of his class. On the eve of hisexecution, he wired Big Bill Haywood and the lWW his,‘f,ihal “Don ;t’Smourn, organize! words:

The current-battle between the United Farmworkers Union and the Teamsters is the- latest in a war that goes back many years. But this time, according to spokesmen for the UFW, the attack on their union has been actively promoted by the Nixon administration. Last year, the militant UFW seemed to be on the road to victory in its struggle to become__ acknowledged nation’s representative the 9f agricultural workers. With over 180 signed contracts, the union represented 60,000 workers in its home state, California, and was beginning to score substantial gains in other prime agricultural areas, especially Florida. Today, it has been virtually squeezed -out of the fields in what seems to be an all,out effort by growers and the giant Teamsters Union to crush the UFW. By now,- all but a handful of the union’s contracts have expired, and as fast as the clock ticks off old contracts, growers are signing new agreements with the Teamsters. TheUFW is fighting back with two weapons that served it well in the past: the picket line and the boycott. And it has the support of a $1.6 million AFL-CIO strike fund. Unless currently ’ announced talks reverse the Teamsters’ stand, the UFW will need all the help it can get. “We feel the growers came to the Teamsters last year and made them an says Cesar Chavez, UFW offer”, president. “That way they could kill two birds with one stone. They could, insulate themselves against a meaningful contract, and they could kill the farmworkers’ union.” The Teamsters have held contracts covering cannery and ‘packing house _ workers in California’s San Joaquin Valley since the 1940’s. When the UFW began its drive to organize grape pickers in the area in‘ 1965, the Teamsters developed a new interest in f ieldworkers. Trounced by the UFW in the first union election held by a ,major grape grower (the DiGiorgio Corporation) in 1965, the Teamsters signed a “sweet heart” contract with PirelliMinetti, another big grower, in 1967. (A sweetheart contract, in labour parlance, is a pact-signed by management and consulting union officials without workers). The UFW fought, and won the first of a series of jurisdictional agreements providing that the Teamsters would stay out of the fields and the UFW would stay out of the processing plants. By 1970, with the help of the nationwide grape boycott, the UFW had signed contracts with most California and was giving signs grape growers, that its next organizing target would be the lettuce fields of the Salinas Valley, “the nation’s salad bowl”. Suddenly, in late July of 1970, 200 major Salinas Valley let$ce growers announced that they had signed contracts with the teamsters. The UFW called a strike, the AFL-CIO interceded, the Teamsters backed down and the two unions signed a new jurisdictional agreement.’ But -most growers refused to sign with the UFW, which eventualfy launched jts nationwide lettuce boycott. The battle between the two unions broke out anew this year when growers announced they had re. negotiated their un-expired 1970 “sweet heart” contracts with the Teamsters. there are many At first glance between the contracts similarities s offered growers by the Teamsters and the UFW. The Teamsters demand an hourly wage of $2.30, the UFW--$2.40. Both specify unemployment compensation and health and’ welfare provisions. The Teamsters’ special features .are the relatively high (10-l 5 cent per hour) employer conemployee per tribution to the union pension fund, and guarantees against boycotts and

A few The UFW sees racism behind the days following the Fitzsimmons -professionalism question. In the words speech, Salinas Valley. lettuce growers

renegotiated their un-expired 1970 “sweet heart” contracts with the Teamsters. -According to UFW counsel Cohen, Fitzsimmons’ appearance was arranged by then Under-Secretary of Labor Laurence Silberman. Why should the administration take _ sides in a labor conflict? Simple, say observers here: Nixon wants what the growers want. UFW sympathizers are quick to point out that some of the President’s best friends are in agribusiness: among them William Pawley, owner of the Talisman sugar company in Florida, which has been the target of a year-long UFW strike, and C. Arnholt Smith (now under indictment for tax evasion), San Diego millionaire who holds mortgages on vast agricultural tracts in the San Joaquin Valley. The President has not spoken out on the current dispute, but he has previously shown disapproval of the UFW. “During the campaign, he ran around the state eating grapes,” recalls Cohen. * The Fitzsimmons speech came days after a meeting at San Clemente, reported in the New York ‘Times December 2,‘ between the President, Fitzsimmons, and then president ial counsel Charles Colson, reportedly the .-architect of administration labor policy. (Colson is credited with having proposed the early release from prison -of -Teamster ex-president James Hoffa.) A few days after the meeting, the Teamsters announced that their legal business would be handled in the future by the law firm of Morin, Dickstein, Shapiro, and Gilligan. On the same day, December 8, Colson announced that he would join the Washington firm after resigning his White House post in March. Teamster officials vehemently deny any conspiracy. But why should the Teamsters, two million strong, with a massive base in the nation’s transportation industry, bother goin.g after a few thousand low-wage workers? Especially, why go- after agricultural workers, whose jobs stand to be drastically reduced in the next few years by automation? Teamster leaders maintain that the move is a logical one, necessary to protect the jobs of Teamster food processing workers and truck drivers who could be idled in UFW strikes that cut off the flow of crops from the field. Further they claim that farmworkers want Teamster representation because they are tired of the UFW. According to Teamster organizing director William Grami, the UFW lost the support of grape pickers because they “exploited the hell out of the w(orkers” through use of the hiring hall. According to some rank and file Teamsters, the motive is cash. Automat ion w il I paradoxically become a source of income, as unions pressure employers for financial settlements to compensate for lost jobs. And the high retirement contributions will swell union pension funds. At a truck stop in San Francisco, a Teamster truck driver commented on the move. “It’s not going to do me any good-they’re just going to make more money for FitzSimmons.” His shop steward, a longtime “insurgent” Teamster, had a profounder “These union officials explanation. want to collaborate with the bosses. The thing that can buy them, more,than’ money, is a pat on the shoulder from the boss. To be friends with these guys, to ride on a plane with Nixon, to play to Fitzsimmons, that golf a La Costameans he’s a success.” Asked to comment on the difference between his union and the UFW, an older Teamster driver said he didn’t know much about the farmworkers. “But you know how we got our last contract?” he asked. “In the mail, with a space to mark yes or no. You’re down the river already, when you have to vote like that.”

opinion,

the

psychiatrists seem copcerned with providing more relevant community services? The situation here is that the Lse: psychiatrists offer nothing to the community at large. Community psychiatry here is nonexistent. There is very little talk about this. They discuss it about every six months. Interviewer: How did this affect you personally? Jose: Originally when I came here I planned to work m&e in the community be&se that is my orientation. To get involved in new ways with this community meant that I had to have some independence and become a pioneer. I would have to overcome things which seemed impossible. If I had been allowed to work for the hospital directly my responsibility could have been much broader. In the business meetings of the Psychiatric Consultants they seemed more concerned with how much money they were making than with community services. Interviewer: What role can the hospital administration play in solving these problems which you have pointed out? Jose: The hospital doesn’t have a staff psychiatrist. There is no one person in charge of co-ordinating psychiatric services. The left arm doesn’t, know what the right arm is doing. All functions are disjointed and each individual is busy looking for loopholes in the system. They should hire a director of-dinical psychiatry. Interviewer: Are there any other suggestions that you could make for improving the situation? Jose: The hospital should contract with somebody to provide services and they should put people on salary. This way the psychiatrists wouldn’t also bill the patient for his services. Also there is a need for better relationships between psychiatrists and other disciplines. Interviewer: Could you explain your last statement more fully? Jose: The rivalry between psychiatry and other services, like social work and psychology is unbelievable to me. I think it is detrimental to the patient. Psychiatry does not accept what those others have to offer. Everybody is guarded all the time. Psychiatry is concerned with power. They don’t want to lose control. Interviewer: Hoiv have you personally felt about working with other disciplines within the hospital? Jose: Personally, I have etijoyed this part of working here. I have appreciated working with nurses, psychologists and social workers and I think that they have appreciated w&king with me. In that sense we have had good rapport and I feel sorry that I am leaving. However, I had to stand for my beliefs.

. ..it’s going

up-

Concern and clarification refused by the Record The following letter was sent to the K-W Record in response to their article about the local psychiatrists withdrawing from OHIP. The Record refysed to print the letter claiming it was “too long”.

To the Editor, Kitchener-Waterloo Kitchener, Ontario.

Record,

Dear Sir; I am writing to comment and i express concern with regard to your article of Thursday August 16th headlined: ‘Six psychiatrists quit OHIP, up fee’. As a member of a group which is in contact with the social welfare resources of the K-W area, I have the impression that we may be aware of implications of- this situation which will not be immediately evident to the general reading public. I would like therefore to clarify some of these issties as well as to convey the reasons for my concern. First, it should be understood that the withdrawal of six of K-W’s eight private practising psychiatrists from OHIP means effectively that no psychiatric care by a certified psychiatrist will be available in K-W under OHIP coverage. The seventh psychiatrist is leaving in protest over the actions of his colleagues; the eighth is not a certified psychiatrist. Furthermore, since Psychiatric Consultants do all the psychiatric work for K-W Hospital (St. Mary’s has no psychiatric services), it is not only the psychiatrists’ private patients who will no longer be covered, but also any personrequiring psychiatric care in hospital. The fact, of -the matter is that Psychiatric Consultants holds, and it appears will continue to hold, a monopoly on psychiatric services in this area. On Friday we spoke with a member of the K-W Hospital administration who assured us that any psychiatrist who wished to practice in the K-W area was free to do so, but there are certain facts which suggest otherwise. In order to practice, a psychiatrist must have hospital admitting privileges. The only doctor outside the Psychiatric Consultants group having access to hospital beds for psychiatric treatment is a general practitioner doing psychotherapy, whose admitting privileges pre-date the formation of Psychiatric Consultants. K-W Hospital does not hire individual psychiatrists to staff its psychiatric wards, but instead has an agreement, with Psychiatric Consultants under which its members perform that function. The psychiatric department of K-W Hospital is headed by doctors from the Psychiatric Consultan& who are therefore in a position to make recommendations concerning the granting of admitting privileges. Psychiatric Consultants requires its members to sign a contract according to which they agree not to practice psychiatry in the K-W area for a year and a half subsequent to leaving the group should they do so. Since Psychiatric Consultants is apparently what we have to work with in the way of psychiatric services in this area, a concern with their motivation in withdrawing from OHIP would seem to be legitimate. What do they

mean by “a -growing concern over the incompatibility between OHIP’s concept of psychiatry and our own”? (Record, August 16th). The doctors claim t.&$ OHIP and the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons are trying to force them to give poor quality service by “setting 300 sessions a week as an efficiency mark”. A spokesman from the OHIP regional office in Hamilton told us, quite to the contrary, 300 sessions per week had been set as the maximum by the College, after which a doctor’s claims to OHIP might be considered suspect, and investigated. Moreover, a 20 minute minimum length for a psychotherapeutic session is fixed by the college; anything shorter is not considered psychotherapy and can’t be billed as such. What the doctors’ argument would seem to come to, then, is that at the current, rate of remuneration under OHIP, psychiatrists see‘ing patients for hour 01 half-hour consultations can’t make as much money as they would like. Given that they find an average salary of $39,000 a year insufficient, they had the choice of taking more patients for shorter sessions or withdrawing from OHIP so that they could raise their fees. It does appear to be true that the preirailing mythology which places the psychiatrist at the apex of medical affluence is incorrect. Surgeons, for example, earn more. But, $39,000 is an average, meaning that some psychiatrists, those with straight institutional appointments, for example, probably earn less, while others earn substantially more. And is $39,000 an insufficient income when one considers the average yearly income of Canadians? On the one hand there is the argument that professionals should be compensated for their arduous and expensive years of training; on the other the fact thatJ training is, after all, largely paid for by you and me. How much is adequate compensation? Finally, there is the most important questions: what will this mean for the patient? It means that a person who already faces problems which seem to him overwheliming, will have in addition to worry about whether or not he has the funds available to pay for treatment. prior to being partially reimbursed by OHIP. It will probably mean that a person who is not acutely ill will hesitate to take his problems to a psychiatrist’s office because he will feel unable to afford the un-reimbursed amount. For the acutely ill person who can’t afford to pay it, may well mean being sent out of the area to an Ontario Hospital, for how many patients can we expect doctors to take as welfare cases at the OHIP rate, when they have gone to the lengths of withdrawing from OHIP so that they can charge higher fees? I would like to express my sense of moral outrage at this situation, at the action taken by the Psychiatric Consultants and the fact that there is presently no available alternative, and at the fact that Psychiatric Consultants evidently felt no obligation to consult w&h its community, or even to inform it until the very last minute. I would like as well to commend Dr. Canive for his principled stand. Yours sincerely, Sandra Sachs

‘US naval and air force scientists are encountering considerable difficulties in making laser weapons work, according to Aviation Week. Revelations made at a recent conference on lasers in Washington suggest that-a high:power laser beam aimed at an aricraft can be blocked and scattered by three wellknown laser phenomena. One effect is, a plume of plasma formed when a small section of the target becomes incandescent; another results when the air in the path of the beam becomes sufficiently heated; the third occurs when J the beam itself creates sufficient -heat. Until now, laser weapon engineers have favoured high-energy devices with very highly focused beams, so as to pack the maximum heating effect into a single point on the target. One scientist said he _ believes that now weapon-designers will -have to change their ideas drastically. “If you have these types-of thermal distortion,” he said, “you can forget about using laser beams.” But, lest you fear for the safety of the Western World, he pointed out that these temporary setbacks. ,

A small army of anthropologists, demographers, geneticists, nutritionists,. respiratory physiologists and experts on blood enzymes and thermal regulation descended on the villages of the New Cui-nea highlands recentjy, and emerged with the startling con’ elusion that , the “friendly and “tooperative inhabitants” are much healthier than the world average while existing .ona diet which ‘falls far , below the nutritional minimum laid down by the “World ,-Health Organization and other in’ ternational .agencies.

As if the natives of New Guinea have not served as New-Guinea-pigs for ahthropologists long enough now;, it seems certain following these disclosures that they will be the centre of many more studies. The villagers take in vegetable protein almost exclusively, since animal meat forms only a small ‘portion of the diet. Pigs are eaten only on ceremonial occasions. The average native was found to have adjusted to the tropical climate so well that he was able to transfer oxygen from the blood to the cells of the body more efficiently than any- European athlete; he- also had a much larger lung capacity than / most European athletes. The tentative conclusion of the study suggests strongly to nutritionists that the ‘Isafe” levels for healthy nutrition have been set rather too high.

Mud, in your eye A rain-dren%hed crowd of 3,500 watched the University of Western Ontario Mustangs drown the Warriors 42-13 in a muddy football game at Kitchener’s Centennial stadium. During the first-half downpour, The Warriors fell behind 14-0, in less than five minutes of play. Coach Wally Delahay preferred to look on the bright side. “At least we got on th’e scoreboard this time”, he said referring to the Warriors’ opening-game shutout .against Guelph., The two UW quarterbacks again displayed their animal magnetism by attracting the UWO defensive line almost immediately after the ball was snapped. It was a touching ,scene, seeing the

Mustang defence helping the1 qyarterbacks to their feet; it’s a true comfort to see that people still care about each other in these troubled times. The Warrior defensive line was ’ also very moved by the expkrience, usually backwards. The Warriors will be working the offence in preparation for Saturday’s game against WLU, but the defence will probably get qujte a workout too, since the Hawks ha\e three of the top four rushers in the OUAA west division. WLU coach “fuffy” Knight calls . this year’s crop of pass receivers “the best since I started to coach here”, which was back in 1962, so the Warriors will have a tough time deciding what to do with their extra defender. This will be the homecominggame for Waterloo, but the team will be lucky if they can avenge last year’s 48-4 loss to Lutheran. Game starts at . 2pm at Centennial stadium in Kitchener. mike dander

students. The themes of the weekend were to create an awareness of the intramural and intercollegiate prograins and that they must work together in order to, operate at th@r best. .-Eighty students were’ there representing universities from all over Ontario. They participated in a very “mind-expanding” game called ‘Diplomacy’. It consisted of allocating each .group $25,000 with which they had t9 purchase a university site and budget and operate an intramural and intercollegiate program for eight months‘. The game went ,very well permitting everyone to hear each others opinions and collect new ideas for iheir own programs. Now, the first report on our “ladies” flag football. Only two exhibition games have been played thus far. St. Paul’s vs. V2 North was the first game of the season. The teams in this game were evenly matched-both -having very aggressive offensive lines and strong defensive lines. The final score was l-l. The big match of the day wds Vl West vs. Conrad Grebel. Conrad Grebel’s girls must have been practicing all summer because ‘they got on the field and played ‘superbly. The star of the team was Krystal Forbes who ran “like a deer” and scored B beautiful touchdown--clinching the victory for Conrad Grebel at 12-g. Up and coming events in the intramural department are : the tennis tournament on Sept. 26, and the Volleyball entry date on Sept. 28.

; Hey girls, get your favqrite guys; don your swim suits and hop in the , pool _Eor Co-ed Waterpolo. The entry date for this splashing event is Sept. 28. There’s a swim meet for all you swimming fanatics on Oct. 1 in the P.A.C. pool. Oct. 5 is the entry date for Coed Squaliball-a new gape this‘ year which consists of ti volleyball game in squash courts. Should be ,a great time as no one has ever played the game before.

The next scheduled tournament for the tennis Warriors is the qualifying rounds for the O.U.A.A. western finals, this weekend. The O.U.A.A. western division finals will be held the following weekend. Waterloo~will come up against a strong Western team when they travil to Windsor. The tournament will be of the round robin type with each player playing one member of each of the opposing teams. Team members are ranked as first, second etc. and as such they play the correspondingly ranked players from each of the other teams. Each win is then scored as a point and total points are computed for team scores. As in past -years a school will be able to qualify both individuals and a complete team for the western division finals.

-Synthesis ‘* needed , -*

In my years at university, I have seen, read and heard about ,a g,reat deal of literature produced by people associated with’- universities. All of this work isproduced with the hope that it will bring a better tomorrow. This is good. Is that not a goal to which we all strive? But there is a major flaw in the total result of all this work. We have no concrete systems by which it is all synthesized to form a common perception of the world. How can we as people , of conscience step forward confidently ’ to make a better world without such a view? In -this university we have engineers, philosophers, biologists, physicists, mathematicians and a bunch of others such as economists and psychologists-and -each person belonging to their discipline concseptualizes the world in terms of his own narrow training. As a result, we have entirely unrelated research. going on throughout the university, and if any of it is related to any other research it is-only by accident: It is * often even more accidental if someone attempts a-synthesis. I doubt if anyone denies the fact that in a few more short years we may “develop” ourselves off the face of this planet. We may disagree on the time, how, it will happen, and where it will occur first, but WC must concede that the world will not be able to support us or perhaps even many of the “higher” life forms if we continue our present suicidal course.

irrational, disrespectful, and best of all lacking common sense (as judged by the current belief system) I am not to be found in the ranks of the technocratic. My bias, on the other hand, lies simply with those who believe that our capitalistic adventures in the world are over and the time has come to be aborigines of our land again. . ’ Perhaps you do not, but I do feel a great vulnerability living such as I dodependent on the technological systems which comprise such an integral part of North American living. We are subjecting ourselves to inhuman pressures and pains which need not be tolerated, let alone accepted. The present incentives in life are affluentially and consumptively oriented; exploitation and injustice have bred these conditions; selfishness, egoism, ignorance, arrogance, authoritative coercion, violence, militarism and war have developed, become widespread and held apathetically; and the religious institutions adjust to and legitimate the ‘perpetuation of this hazardous situation. There is nothing short of sanity that will convince me and many others- such as I that this is our preordained fate. There are other futures and other wolrds for us to inhabit if we step boldlv. There are battles to be fought and tales co be told if we enter the forest where it is thickest. There is a proposal circling around the university that offers the chance for an alternative view of the future to emerge. It could be the seed of something big. The idea revolves around a largely villagesized, self sufficient community that practises low energy recycling methods of sustaining its members. It is a civilized form where the dependency relationships

of man on Nature are reinstated as a real and moving element in the lives of those who inhabit this communi ty. The manbuilt technological environment compliments these relationships rather than displacing, them while at the same time enabling the people to satisfy higher, and profoundly richer, human needs if they are compelled to do so. The idea is far from complete..There is lots of talent and levelheaded individuals at this university. If this talent is committed to a program of reserach and fact-finding in a co-ordinated manner, what I was saying before about the fragmented disciplinary view of the world doesn’t have to be. An effort must be made to close the circle. What ever happens to this world is of our own making. Human beings are now the prime shapers of the surface of the Earth by our activities. Sandy McGuer

Swish Swash statement This letter is addressed to the fearless fifty frosh who allowed themselves to be persuaded by a few spirited dons to come out and participate in the Swish Swash Car Wash on Saturday, September 15. Through your hard work you raised $350 to help fight Multiple Sclerosis, help ‘Talking Books’ continue their service to

the blind and for the Birth Control Centre on campus. It is people like yourselves (and the dons) who make the nice things happen. Thank you once again from my,self, the organizer, and all the managers. We hope that you will continue the spirit of caring despite other people’s intiifferences. The people my complaint is directed towards are the Village II dons who refused to get the frosh on their floors up for the Swish Swash Car Wash which was held .on Saturday, September 15. By your you deprived me of 250 inaction desperately needed people. You are

directly responsible for the failure of Swish Swash. In addtion to the inconvenience to the village serveries, bolstering the bad illusions many in the community foster about the university student; you have denied money to Birth Control, Talking Books and the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Maybe you feel justified in your actions, but I can find no excuses for your beh&ior . To those few dons who did their best, my most sincere thank-you. Bonnie Walker President of Circle K.
