One of the more unfortunate problems related to mental health is that of retardation, a problem made doubly tragic by the fact that these children are unable to perceive their own disadvantage. HistoricaIly treated as “fools” or idiots the retarded child is still somewhat segregated from society, however, the inhumane aspects of such segregation have largely been antiquated and medica/ care has much improved. The KW Developmental Centre is one such clinic for retarded children; children who have much to say in their innocent faces. See pages 20-27. photo by dudley paul

Running a . tightsship Who’s in charge here, anyway? With the board of entertainment taking over the campus centre for a week, questions were bound to arise about the bureaucratic chain, of command during Oktoberfest activities. As it turned out, those academic remain didn’t questions academic very long. Before the first weekend of Oktoberfest was over, two campus centre turnkeys had been ‘,‘fired” and another Oktoberfest employee dismissed. What it all means, and who did

exactly what, remains fairly hazy. At least one of the turnkeys has been “re-instated”, and a federation board of directors meeting hastily called to decideamong other things-who’s in charge ended before even discussing the problem. The confusion goes back to the campus centre board meetings this summer in which the Oktoberfest project was first discussed. The board agreed to turn the building over to the board of entertainment for the duration

of Oktoberfest festivities. In exchange, the turnkeys-who were being put out of work for a week by the take-over-were to be compensated by being “hired” by the board of entertainment for that week. Just exactly whether they were continuing on during that week as turnkeys and being paid by the board of entertainment rather than the campus centre board or whether they were being “laid off” by the CC board and “hired” again by the BOE was not made crystal clear. Many of the turnkeys were openly against the closing of the campus centre and charging two dollars to get in. One of them, Jane Harding, continued her open opposition to the Oktoberfest concept even after it had begun. Having been assigned by -the BOE to the door, Harding advised those coming in that it was not worth the admission fee and that they shouldn’t have to pay to get into their own building. For being a “disruptive in-

fluence”, she was “fired” by board of entertainment chairman Art Ram, who is running the Oktoberfest show. She returned to work her Tuesday shift this week nonetheless, at 8 am. At noon, shewas informed by campus centre activities co-ordinator Susan Phillips that she had, indeed , been “fired”, and Harding was taken off her shift. Later that day, however, she was informed by federation president Andy Telegdi, that she had been “re-instated.” She was not told why or by whom. The other turnkey involved, Mike Rohatynsky, was working a night shift the first night of Oktoberfest when he had his run-in with the BOE. When Ithe oom-pah-pah band took a break around midnight, he was asked by Oktoberfest personnel to put some records over the P.A. system until the band returned. He refused, and also prevented any BOE people from entering the turnkey office to put on records, since it is turnkey policy to allow no one but turnkeys inside the office. So Ram also “fired” him for refusing to cooperate, after he and Telegdi had tried to talk Rohatynsky into playing some music. The next day an ex-turnkey who had been hired as a helper for Oktoberfest was also fired for being uncooperative. This included such things as not wearing her Oktoberfest T-shirt with the emblem facing out, among other heinous crimes. At this point, it appears that federation council will have to grapple on Sunday with the

question of who had the authority to “hire and fire” turnkeys who had already been hired for the term by the campus centre board, and whether those turnkeys. who were “fired” deserve compensation for the time they were kept from working. -george

A few tiild rumbles A non-issue at Renison College has resulted in the recent creation of a Coordination Council of students, whose purpose is to articulate student interests with respect to the two academic programmes offered there. It was set up in response to a few mild grumblings about the disorganized administration of academic affairs. At least, it was disorganized insofar as the students were not quite satisfied that they knew what was going on. The council acts as a forum for expression of students’ opinions, questions, and complaints. It intends to deal not only with those students living in the college residence but with every student continued

In case you had not noticed, the Campus Centre Board (CCB) had. an election a couple of weeks ago. Only two people ran, for the five vacancies and-were subsequently acclaimed to their respective seats. John ’ Broeze, the representative acclaimedin the engineering seat, was denied the right to vote on the CCB at the meeting held October .2. ’ The rationale given by board chairman Fred Bunting, was that since Broeze was a turnkey employed by the CCB, he could not at the same time have a vote. Apparently, he could theoretically vote to increase his own salary. Broeze was not informed of this ruling before -he managed to gain the seat. ’ It was suggested by several members on the board that he seek the empty turnkey seat. The twenty turnkeys are represented on the board by one vote. This person is voted into position by the turnkeys. ’ Bowever, this same ruling does not apply to the members of the ,board -who are presently involved heavily with the federation. Andrew Telegdi,* federation president is the arts representative on the board and no charges of conflict ofI’ interest have stoppe,d his vote being counted in any issue. ,_ -J

TORONTO (CUP)-The Californian lettuce boycott has been called to a halt. On September 29, the teamsters’ union and the AFL-CIO, I acting for the United Farmworkers ofI America (UFW), agreed to end the fiveyear lettuce boycott by the UFW, at least until 1975. In return for this favour,. the Teamsters have agreed to stay out of the grape fields. The UFW feels that the grape boycott. will-become much more effective now that the Teamsters are no longer involved on the side of the growers. Wopefully; the growers will thus be forced’ to negotiate new contracts with-the grape pickers.

COVENTRY, England I 8(Reuter&Workers at the Triumph motorcycle factory, due to close, decided last week to try to buy the plant themselves and create a “workers’ cooperative” rather than accept unemployment. Some 1700 employeesat the plant, near this midlandscity,’ voted unanimously at & mass meeting yesterday to try and, raise enough money to buy the “Triumph” name and the factory and run it themselves. For the past week. they have been staging a “work-in” by refusing to allow upper-management executives into the factory and sending out finished motorbikes-which they have continued making.

Waterloo Lutheran University paid the sum of $2,400 for 24 letters written by Sir Wilfred Laurier. when he was still alive. Theuniversity librarian -and archivist, Erich Schultz purchased the letters at an auction conducted last week in Montreal. All but one of the letters were writtenin french and intended for Ulrich Barthe, a french-canadian journalist. Barthe obviously recognizing a good thing used the letters for his book about Laurier-Sir Wilfred Laurier -on the Platform, Apparently; WLU is into personality worship of the first french-. speaking prime minister. They plan to accfuire more documents and letters concerning Laurier in order to form a collection of research material about the man.

ta king courses through Renison. Committees have been set up to handle information about courses, notices of student-faculty meetings, course and professor evaluation. So far the close-knit community at Renison appears to be relatively optimistic that the council will get results. The trouble started when a few students who returned in September became disgruntled at the discovery that five faculty were hired without student consent. According to Mike Bird, assistant professor of Religious Studies, this happened because it was impossible to start the hiring before the end of May (when budgetary clearance was obtained). Actually there was one student, a member of. the Student-Faculty Council during 1972-1973, who could have sat in on all the interviews had she been available. As it turned out she was only able to participate in a couple of interviews and in the informal discussion involving those candidates’ merits. Apparently there have- been no ’ noteworthy compalints about the new professors themselves, and so the appointments may have been the most contentious issue dissatisfied students could find for relief of their uncertainties. Those who were available for comment this week seemed a bit sheepish about the trivial nature of the problems they had. been having; after all, everyone has to put up with beginning-of-term confusion, course conflicts, and inadequate book supply. And as one student said, “there’s nothing we can do about it now anyway.” But some students must have been woefully under-orientated, since they did not even understand what was meant by Applied Social Sciences-the programme including Social Work with Psychology and Sociology. One of the tasks undertaken by the new council is to prepare a more comprehensive outline for the calendar and other course literature. Boris Andrushko, one of three student representatives on the Student-Faculty Council when these grievances were expressed seems fairly enthusiastic about the ,, active interest engendered by the Coordination Council. He says that he became discouraged about representing the students at student-faculty meetings, but with the establishment of this council he feels that “students can be assured of a voice.” While this new body has hardly had a chance to prove itself,- it does seem to have accomplished one thing : tranquillity at Renison.

present the Canadian embassy harbors about twenty Latin Americans seeking asylum while the embassies of Mexico, Argentina and Panama have taken in hundreds. The refugees are Chilean leftists fleeing government repression. The Sept. 11 coup changed the country from a socialist to military government within hours. Refugees from some right-wing Latin American countries are also included in the purge. Draimin learned from an external affairs official that the Canadian government has accepted only two applicants to emigrate to Canada. The official is reported to have said that the Canadian government will not offer asylum to “free-loaders”. Also the Department of External Affairs has consented to shelter any person the United Nations referred to the Canadian ambassador. However, Drai\min reported that when a UN official asked the Canadian embassy to put up 200 refugees overnight, the ambassador “hemmed and hawed and demanded to know who they were.” He subsequently denied them entry. At the end of the educational Draimin read a resolution addressed to Mitchell Sharp, Minister of External Affairs. The resolution was an appeal for the government to take action to alleviate the plight of refugees escaping persecution. It was unanimously approved by the audience. The resolution asks the government. to: l open its doors to all Chileans requiring and seeking help; l admit to Canada all those wishing to come; 0 provide physical means, such as airlift aid, for refugees to reach safety.

. One lonely stand

Ron Porter, a former student of Waterloo Lutheran University, has taken one year off school to protest the destruction of Kitcheners’ city hall. He has been picketing the site since the first move was made by Teperman Wrecking-the company charged with the systematic removal of the former building. On October 4, 1973 the police stepped in, presumably to clean up the Kitchener areas for the infamous Oktoberfest ritual. Porter was arrested and charged with “intimidation of the public”. The officers took away the picket sign he had been carrying and warned louise bla kely him not to return to the area. Porter insisted that he would indeed be on the site the very next day. Police replied that they would have little choice but to arrest him again. Protesting an infringement of his civil rights, Porter informed the police that they would then have to arrest him every day if (CUP&While they hoped to stop his protest. TORONTO A large part of Porter’s protest thousands of workers and Allende has taken the form of-speaking supporters are being systematically rounded up and with everyone that walks by and killed the Canadian embassy has trying to persuade people that all “locked” their doors to 250 to 300 is not lost.

Citing John Diefenbaker, the former prime minister, as the only man that can stop the proceeding, Porter is asking everyone that does agree with the protest to send a postcard to Diefenbaker informing him of their disagreements. Porter said to one young Diefenbaker receives boy, “If enough postcards in opposition to the tearing down of this fine old building, then he will come to our city and stop it.” Unfortunately it is much too obvious to the majority of people that the old city hall is already so far gone that even a supernatural act could not save it now.

The smallness of the group lent itself to just such discussion and the dynamics of the dialogue exhibited a marked difference in the home situations of the various papers.

The right

, -

-bargain TORONTO (CUP )-Graduate teaching assistants at the University of Toronto may soon have the right to bargain collectively if an organizing drive by the newly formed Graduate Assistants Association ( GAA) continues to recruit more members. The association now has over half of the mandatory 700 members needed to apply to the Ontario Labour Relations Board for a certification vote. There are- approximately 2,000 graduate assistants at U of T. Thirty-five percent must join before GAA can apply for certification. The main reason they are attempting to gain collective bargaining, is that graduate assistants do 40 percent of undergraduate teaching, yet their average is under 1000 dollars a year. The association is not restricting itself to settling financial grievances ; it is also concerned with job security, hiring procedures and gaining a voice for graduate assistants on committees and governing bodies. At present, Windsor is the only university with a certified graduate assistants association in Canada. That association has gained a uniform wage of 2400 dollars, the maximum allowed by law, a grievance procedure, and a voice in the department hiring commit tees. One of the aims of the GAA is standardized wages based on accurate estimates of time required to fulfil1 teaching and related duties. Now, in many cases payment is purely on the basis of contact hours and doesn’t take into account the amount of preparation and marking time. The GAA is now fighting the university of the university’s refusal to give vacation pay to the assistants, which is mandatory under the Ontario Employment Standards Act. They have appealed for a ruling from the Ministry of Labour. Meanwhile, the U of T administration is getting its solicitors to find a loophole to get out of paying the retroactive pay of over a quarter of a million doilars as far back as 1966.

Changing the name of the game

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LNSCUP)---U.S. support to South Viet Nam’s police and prison system is hidden now, but has increased since the peace agreement was signed less than a year ago. When accounts are added up, it turns out that the Nixon administration will spend $20 million on South Viet Nam’s police in the current fiscal year, a 50 per cent increase over last year. The United States has been subsidizing the South Vietnamese police force since 1954. Last year alone, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) public safety program spent $13.6 million to expand South Vietnam’s prison system, converted the Vietnamese National Police into a tough paramilitary force and furnished 200 U.S. police advisors. Under the peace agreement signed last January, the United States pledged to remove all military and paramilitary advisors from Vietnam within sixty days, and to cease its involvement in that country’s internal political affairs. Clearly, these provisions required the termination of the public safety program. Several weeks later, the State Department announced that USAID had terminated its

assistance to the National Police. But several U.S. senators have subsequently discovered that the old activities are being continued under different names. Senator Edward Kennedy, who investigated the aid situation last June, reported in a senate speech that, “ ‘public safety’ is now called ‘technical support’, ‘public administration’ and ‘public works’ “. Kennedy cited millions of dollars going to the South Vietnamese police under new headings and charged that the administration had instituted a ‘coverup’ of continued support to president Nguyen Van Thieu’s police apparatus. One apparent aim of this aid is to continue Operation Phoenix, the CIA led effort to “neutralize” the NLF underground in South Vietnam. Thieu made additional use of the program to liquidate his opposition among buddhists and other noncommunist groups. As of May 1972, when the pentagon stopped supplying figures, 27,000 politic al activists had been killed by phoenix operatives . An estimated 200,000 political prisdners are still being held without trial. Computer systems used in the phoenix program were set up by

!, U.S. contractors under the Defense Department’s Civil Operations and Rural Development (CORDS) program. The training of Saigon police technicians in “computer systems management” will enable them to take over operation of CORDS data banks holding political information on some 12 million South Vietnamese citizens. With the administration under pressure to withdraw the

thousands of U.S. military technicians still remaining in South Vietnam, it has become necessary to rush the training of Vietnamese technicians to operate the vast computer facilities. This delicate task is being performed by a Los Angelese-based firm, the Computer Sciences Corporation, under a multi-million dollar contract with the Department of Defense. CSC formerly held

contracts with the CORDS program. CSC maintains an office in Saigon staffed by 56 American computer specialists. Presumably this staff includes some ex-Operation Phoenix advisors formerly on the CORDS payroll. A CSC advertisement in the Saigon Post of March 24, 1973 specified: “DATA REDUCTION CLERK-Positions available immediately for one American. Secret clearance required. Prefer applicant with previous Vietnam experience.” A spokesman for CSC refused to provide details on its Vietnam work. The company later told Time Magazine that “we have no knowledge of what the South Vietnamese are doing with the technical training we are giving them.” Kennedy and other legislators maintain that ‘there is little mystery about what the South Vietnamese police are doing. Says senator Alan Cranston from California, “Aid is continuing to bolster a cruel and repressive police apparatus in South Vietnam. A vast surveillance system is in effect, aided by U.S. communica tions equipment and personnel. Police torture and inhuman jail conditions, including the notorious tiger cages, await those who criticize the government’s policies. ” A number of U.S. senators will apply pressure for the U.S. to stop aiding Thieu’s police. When the foreign aid bill comes up for approval, an ammendment will be proposed cutting off all funds for the Saigon police.

MONTREAL (CUP&--In a decision handed down by Judge J .K. Hugessen last Wednesday, October 3, the trial of Dr. Henry Morgentaler cannot be argued as a test case of the Canadian constitution and Bill of Rights. Morgentaler has been charged with six counts of performing abortions illegally. Morgentaler’s lawyer, ClaudeArmand Sheppard, had planned to challenge the abortion law on the grounds that it is discriminatory and contradicts the Canadian Bill of Rights. Sheppard argued that all women do not have equal access to the hospital committees which are set up to determine whether or not a woman may legally obtain an abortion. Hugessen also overruled the petition from the defence challenging the preferred indictment. Morgentaler must now go to trial without a preliminary hearing. Earlier this week, Dr. Augustin Roy, registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, testified that Moregentaler remains in good standing with the college. Roy said no complaint against Morgentaler had been registered with the college. The jury of the trial was picked Thursday, October 4 and the date of the trial has been tentatively set for October 18. On October 3, the McGill Medical Students’ Society passed a motion supporting Morgentaler .

‘Day of On ,the 6 if October 1973, Jews around the wo$ld were praying and fasting in observance of Judaism’s most holy dayYom Kippur, the ‘Day og Atonement. On that very same day, as Israel was standing still in respect, Egypt and Syria launtihed a co-ordinated attack at the Suez Canal and in *the Golan Heights. What do the Arab leaders hope to achieve by this dishonourable action? Why must‘ they pursue a course that can only, in the end result, lead to needless bloodshed and loss of life? This act of inhumanity will be most remembered as the Day of Infamv! Sheldon SS. Goldenberg President ‘Waterloo Jewish Students Organization-Hillel .

I was stunned by what the people of Torqnto suffer under the label of %ews”. * The front page of the T&onto Star’ r resembled something you would find in a paper produced and edited by Herr Geobbals in the 194O’s.- Much to .rr_ly surprise even ‘the CBC wasn’t immune from Zionist cobtrol of its news. After a weekend of listening tid reading Zionist propaganda everywhere, including our <national television, I can’t understand why Canadians aren’t drafted Blong with $he other citizens of Israel. Then we could all kill thdse dirty heathens and take their land, for the Israeli entrepreieurs . Andrew S. Finch,

First Arab. ,’ ‘haeli War .

The war in the Middle Ekst is being waged for the %st time in spite of the fact that Israel and’its allies claim that it is the fourth round. . The question trodai is not who started first, rather, what caused its outbreak. * In 1948, Jewish settlements were ‘established, after Jews from all parts of

the world under the sponsorship ,of the Jewish Agency (created by, the world Zionist Movement in the 1929’s, i.e. before the Nazi’s accession to power in Ger,many). The Movement used these immigrants to set up a structure that would take over the power in ’ the x British protectorate of Palestine as soon as the British were to leave. They were successful, and consequently ihe inhabitants of Palestine were forced o& .of their homes, since there were no provisions made for’ them in the Zionist design for Pilestine. The slogan “a &and without people for a people without land” was widely supported by the powers! of the’ .a day. In 1948, there was no war, for the Arabs were colonized b=y Britain and France and had. no say in their own affairs. Some volunteers who had no ‘i&litary training their brothers the came to help Mujahideen (Old Fedayeen) of Palestine. The forces of Haganah had- been under training for several years and some of the Haganah members were veterans of foreign armies. The hastily assembled Arab armies under Kawekji lproved to be ineffective’ in defending the land of Palestine .. France and Israel) attacked Egypt and ‘there was no war to speak of. The campaign was merely a raid that turned sour after a few days; Nasser had foreseen the consequences and ’ waited for world opinion to defend his country. It did. The world co&mu&y had condemned the attack as soon as its true nature was revealed. . In 1967, the blitz destroyed the air power of the Arab armies,, espe’cially that of Egypt, while still on the ground. The Egyptian .Frny was in thk desert without air cover atid they were destroyed without. a real engagement with Israeli ground forces. Some of the. Egyptian soldiers went back to) Cairo without shooting one bullet. The Israelis are now saying that they “are encoun.tering tactics and equipment they had never seen before, fo quote one Israeli officer. This culminated in the loss of territories to Israel. -The United Nations, in rder to stop the fighting, once and foli jta -in the Middle East, adopted. the 242 Resolution (November 1967)) which called for the return of the Israeli forces to the ceasefire line before June 1367. The Israelis refused. The Rogers Plan was not obj,ectionable to the Akabs at the time. The Israelis objected to it. The late President Johnson produced a five-point program; Israel rejected it too. Then there was the Jarring mission which was shot down by Israel. For how long were the Arabs expected to wait? On October 5, 1973, the Israelis were conductingone af their rout&e rounds of humiliatink the Arab states. The 1,sraeli air force was, superior and no one dared face them in the wide skies of the Middle East. But this time, the Arabs wer@drawn’ ,They decided to to the challenge. defend themselves come hell or high water. This time, the -Israeli musclestretching did not work. Don’t say they were on holiday, the Arabs ,are even fasting for qamadan this month. ’ The Israelis are not winning in the same manner they-had won in 1967. A few cries are being heard. Shame on the peace’ movement which worked for,Vietnam, it is not being heard. Money is now ,being collected to &d Israel. The New York Jewish community .

collected $25 million. The Mayor of Philadelphia is buying $1 million worth of - Isra61 government bonds with that city> money. The Canadian Room at the Royal York turned into little Israel under the ’ leadership of Mayor Lastman of North York, Philip Givens, an ex-mayor of Toronto and a Liberal MPP and Rabbi Gunther Plaut. We are told that ‘thismoney i’s being collected for humanitarian reasons. More accurately, this is a case of tax evasion. If this money was collected for humanitarian reasons, why not contribute to the Red Cross, CARE or Caritas? Why not, channel all these monies to help our poor in Canada? -7 - The United States is asking for a ceasefire with the condition that all- forces ‘return to pre-hostilitieslines. Canada’s Mitchell Sharp .asked for a cease-fire immediately too. No one seems to care that Israel is presently occupying and defending Egyptian, Syrian, Jordinian and Palestinian lands. Why didn’t th< honourable Mitchell Sharp ask Israel toreturn the lands that it had acquired by force to its Arab neighbours? I There is no need to go deep into the arguments about Israel being the bastion of - Democracy, the Goliathand David. They both are ridiculous. ‘A’ few days aga the Israelis were saying that they will “hit back twice as hard”. They will never forgive the Arabs for fighting on the holiest of the. Jewish holidays. I am n&t quite sure the Israelis were exactly praying at that particular moment. The picture looks too grim on both sides. The Arabs are in the midst of a war that they are not prepared for. The Israelis a& not in any position to come out victor‘ious in a matter of days. Casualities tire high on both sides. Civiliaps were attdcked in Damascus,,Homg, Cairo, Port Said and Lebanon, However, there is a solution. The Arab lands taken by force must be returned to them-peacefully or by force. /The’ inhabitants of Palestine must be alloitved to return to their homes and they must be able to-share the same quality of life as their Jewish .counterparts. The two have lived in peace and harmony for centuries, there is no reason \ why they Can’t do it now. The solution- ti, the Middle East lies in the hands of the Israelis. To have a ‘lo0 :/per cent Jewish population is impractical, especially when ’ the indigenous inhabitants ate living in refugee camps. To acquire pieces of-land by force proved abortive, all throughout history. When 1. these two points become acceptable to the tilers of Isr&el, peace will -prevail. M. Fayed Chem. En&

Just like a car is made to run on gasoline, people are made to live with God. If they don’t, everthing goes wrong.

- Juan Peron: The’ second tie around*

\ I General Juan Peron has surprised us all. After his visit to Argentina in August 1972 it was assumed that he would, remain as a national father figure for the country. The elections of. spring 1973 were the first in which the Peronists were allowed to participate since the overthrow of the Peron regime in September 1955. During his visit to Argentina, last August the general named a successor, Dr. Hector Campora, and old Peron man who won an overwhelming. victory. Dr. Campora non-partisan yet appointed a rather brilliant cabinet. The : military, whose regime Campora followed, remained silent 1I and acquiescent; the private sector showed great enthusiasm, leading to,: the first revaluation of the peso in more than 15 Iyears; and, finally youth and terrorist groups the left of the Peronist movement, were in accord to act peacefully toward the. recuperation of the nation. . After less ! than three .months of rule Campora resigned in order to allow another election to take place and Peron himself to be elected. The chaos that ensued is still to be reckoned with. The Peronist movement is dividded; the military is worried, security has reached a new low and the problem of leadership + remains unsolved. Peron’s goals and motives in the events surrounding ?Dr. Campora’s ;esignation remain unclear. At first glance it seems that. a carefully executed plan was in motion. It is true that the slogan of the Peronists was “Campora al Gobierno, Peron al Poder” (Campora in the Government, Peron in Power). However expectation,s were not directed toward a scheme of this sort. Years of blunders by the military regime had drawn ‘many moderates to the Peronist movement in hope of , democratizing the political process. High level political maneuvers of the’ type of Campora’s resignation and Peron’s subsequent candidacy, were very far from- the expectations of the new Peronists. Nonetheless, it is possible that the move was improvised as a way; to counter,act Campora’s inability to control the loose coalition that led him to power in favour ‘of a strong man like Peron. The various possibilities seem relevant only in regard to the ‘accusation of the Peronist youth that Peron has forfeited his popular support -<by bringing in a power play to a popular movement. The Peronist movement hai been a workers’ ’ movement /since, it began, sometime around 1945. Its origins lie in the social reforms brought about by Peron (then a relatively unknown colonel) during his time as head of the Secretariat of I Labour which he founded. Through this government agency Peron originated pension plans and other worker benefits which helped him gain a substantial popular support among the masses who had been up to then all but ignored. In 1946 Peron was elected president. From then on, his social programs expanded as well as‘ a more thorough organization of the masses. The Unions were; confederated into the CGT (Confederation General de1 Trabajo) . Dissident labour leaders were arrested. The CGT as . well as the Eva Peron Foundation (which was offically dedicated to charity) w.ere molded into political arms’ of parallel activity to the Peronist Party. However, tangible reforms were achieved. .The constitution was amended with a Bill of Workers,’ Rights (article 14) and women where given the legal right to vote and be elected. . While{ the regime produced tangible effects it developed a movement with no ideology other than reliance on its leader, *-Peron. Even thoughPeron was an admirer

The military are very much an active . and crucial part of the puzzle. They have intervened in politics many times since ’ i 1943. Peron himself was originally a military Ibeman. ., The Argentine military considers itself;‘despite ‘moments of doubt in recent years, to ,be a group of ‘pure’ men, uncorrupted by the deviousness of politics. It is in this capacity that they * have intehened in the running of _ government. This self-image has a certain _ i ,degree of -factual foundation. It is t&e that the military men are more heavily indoctrinated in principles of duty, discipline, and patrioism, which are often good ingredients for a statesman. Fur-. , thermore, the milit’ary is less cerrupt and better organized than most government , agencies or political parties. Howevr, their self-image of superiority often leads to over-simplistic, if often well-intended dogmatisms on what ought to be and how it ought to be done. All Latin-American’ Armed Forces are not the same however. *Brazil’s military is more inclined to violence than their Argentina counterparts. The Chilean military, now in the lime-light, maintain the standards which ’ their Prussian instructors left them years ago. They tend to be much more militant . having provoked more than one border incident. A curious detail @out the Chilean military is the fact that the officers’ uniforms still resemble those of the _ . old Wehrmacht. I In sum, the Brazilian military are the most conservative of the three mentioned, the Chileans follow a close second and the Argentines have a blander, form of conservatism, all invoke Catholicism and nationalism as main beliefs. Since the military regime of 1966 to spring of 1973 / in Argentina, doubts have arisen within the military as to-its overall effectiveness With the$ent military coup in Chile the political climate of South America has as a governing force,: The bloody events of l. once agam come under close scrutiny of many political,6bservers.

Water rpower

Water is a’ relatively harmless ‘substance which we use for washing, cooking, drinking and a variety of other functions both social and industrial. Dr. David Burns and Dr. A. Mohaupt, both of ’ the Mechanical Engineering -Department at the University of Waterloo, are researching a new way of utilizing water: as a cutting tool. It is well known that water can, if given time; wear away solid rock-good examples of this being the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls-but,what happens w-hen man purposely turns -‘water against objects with every effort being made to exp’loit and intensify the erosive process which water can create? Burns and Mohaupt have been. working on just such an experiment and they have called it high pressure water cutting. : Using’ water under pressure to cut various materials is not an entirely new method. What is’ novel is-that in the past the -water cutters have used relatively ‘low .pressures of. around 10,000 pounds .per square inch (psi)’ with a largeflow-rate. This has primarily-, been used. in the past as a cleaning method. * Here something different is being attempted. Water pressures-of between 60,000 and 100,000 psi with a flow rate of one or two gallons per minute are being forced through a saphire. nozzle with a diameter of from three to ten thousandths of an inch. Using water at this pressure requires very complex ‘equipment. To date the low pressure water streams hay been used because there seems to be several distinct levels of pressure where more complex equipment must be implemented; 60,000 and again at about 1 !O,OOOpsi. The equipment here is of a new type of design which is capable of standing up to tremendous pressure. Mohaupt has

of joint which was developed to meet the needs of the project. High pressure water ,cutting can be : applied in a number of fields. One of the most useful applications is in the cutting of flexible polymerics such as the synthetic materials used in the production ‘of shoe soles. The object here is to cut multiple layers of material at a high speed. If heat is used then the layers -fuse together. If a mechanical blade is used, then the material tends to bunch up and a straight line is not achieved.-*With water at iOO,OOQpsi’ and only three thousandths of ,an inch across the material is cut-actually broken apart-before ,it has -time to bunch up. The water cutting does not 1 cause enough heat to fuse the material together and,using the new type of joint developed it is possible to cut in patterns accurately rather than in just a straight line. Another application is in the cutting and shaping of concrete. If one wishes to break up a concrete sidewalk, one /- qas only to use a heating method (presently being developed for this purpose) which cracks the concrete. A series of shells of water is then fired at the concrete at a rate of about 10 cycles per second. This is called pulse stream water cutting. Continuous stream water cutting, on the other hand can be used to shape concrete. By directing a high pressure stream of water at concrete one can ; I;ause high spe&d erosion of the- coticrete.5and thus cut ducts in walls ’ , through ..which to fit pipes or cables. :..You can even go so ‘far as to shapes doors using this method. . Continuous stream cutting is also -used in the cutting of asbestos. Asbestos is a very fibrous material which when cut ,by conventional methods gives off -a large amount of + dust. This dust, if inhaled, can c&se, a disease cailes asbestosis. Using water as a cutting agent in this case lessens the amount of dust produced and reduces the health risk. There is another advantage to using ’ the- water cutting method. With restrictions in some cities on noise pollution, it often makes it difficult to employ the use of a jack-hammer. With water- cutting, relatively little noise is produced and this problem 5 circumvented. -

The Canadian state has worked hard to make democracy _safe for capitalism. Its many bureaucratic organs (the executive and legislative branches, c the ’ the military, crown. corporations and judiciary, regulatory commissions) faithfullyco-ordinate the exploitation of corporate wealth. In both Keynsian and Marxist economic theory, the increased intervention of the state in the economic life of the nation has become the means’ by which capitalism , rescues itself from collapse. : The relationship between the economic institutions of, capitalism and the legal fictions of the state was revealed by the recent events in Chile. W.hen the state’s activities threatened the accumulation pf private capital, a rightwing recapturing of the state apparatus was organized. Liberal fantasies to the contrary, the state has rarely served to lessen the injustices of the capitalist economic system. .

G&r ~one~third of the gross national product passes under the control of the various levels of Canadian ’ government. The v:ast majority-of these funds are spent on providing a secure and profitable ’ environment for corporate investment. The Canadian government(s) have, subsidized the development of the massive transportation and hydroelectric systems (infrastructure) and have heavily financed those supporting services which are too risky or yield too little profit for corporate investment. -In order f&r capitalist economics to function at opjtimum levels, the consumer and labour markets must be linked to the extractive and productive regions. Although the enormous costs of railroads, highways and airlines (which are either crown corporations or heavily subsidiied) have benefited those middleclass consumers who can afford them, the main advantages accrue to big business. ’ Over 75 per cent of all airline travel is by businessmen .and 85 per cent of all rail service is for private enterprise.

Benefit‘

But private enterprise- has w-angled even more direct favours from the state through tax concession% and gran%sI Although dorporate profits have grown mo& rapidly than personal ‘income over the last twenty years; their contribution to federal tax revenues has declined from 28 to 12 per cetit . There are nbw -so bany loopholes misquerading as laws that‘ coTorations publicly profluce one set of, statistics for their #ockholders, called “profits.” and another set for ’ the government, called “taxable income”. The resource-extraction industry, mostly foreign owned, is hiving quite an affair with the government. Imperial Oil, which earned a profit. of 1.5 billion dollars betwee 1965-71, paid taxes of Only 290 million dollars-a rat& of 19 per cent. Shell Oil, which made- a profit of 506 million‘ dollars between 1964 tid 1969, won their “shell game” with the government. They paid no income tax whatsoever. Neither did INCO ‘which made a profit of 94 million dollars in 1?69, Indeed, they received a tax credit from the government of 2.8 million dollars despite raying off 2000 workers. Over one-half of Canada’s 200,000 co&orations paid absolutely no income tax-in- 1971; And most of 4.7 billion dollars; of legaIly-deferred income tax and 677- million dollars of legay allowed excessive-depreciation claims were breaks given to the large m multinationals. , -. It is hardly- reapsuring \t, be offered the rationa&ation that benefits to corporations will ultimately work ,their way down to the-worker. This “trickle-down” defence of capitalism has as many holes as does the taxation sys@m-and curiously the same defenders. who -plu& them. The actual monstmus failurb of these programs has been accide&.lly illustrated by the Liberal Party_ls p .e .t ?project , the Department of ‘Regional Economic-Expansion (DREE) . The Department of -Regional -Economic .Expansion was established to -gain votes and diminish regional disparities by increasing employment h me underdeveldped argasparticularly the Atlantic region and Eastern Quebec. The previous corporate welfare programs had been relatively haphazard, although .from 1965 onwards, the Regional Development Incentives Act and the Area Development Incentives Act had succeeded in wasting so .much money, that J-ean Marchand, nQ-w head of DREE; was prompted to cornme& about the grants, “We would-be providing some companies with .more inceptive than Jhey really need and the ’ difference would be a windfall profit at a public expense.” ’ Marchand wag obviously possessed with a prophetic irony. -Since 1969 DREE has given awtiy approximately half-a-billion dollars in co-ration grants.

Through an unco-ordinated pursuit --of incotipete& ‘policies DREE has Gtually increased the-unemployment rolls in maby areas. Td cite sonie examples: l In 1971 DREE gave 15 million dollars to the “needy” firm of I+ctor and Gamble iA order to build a mill that produced Kraft bleached pap&. l In 1972, they gave 13 million dollars to the much maligned ITT in order to build a pulp mill in Qureb&. The result of this subsidized competition & a shaky industry was that 875 workers in .Ei;n existing company in Temiscan&que, Quebec were thrown out of Work. T&e-story of Celanese Canada -is equally hazing. Celanese received a government .&rant bf 500,000 dollars which. they. used to conselidate their weaving op&ations. So, they laid off 450 workers. in one’ ,plant and added -15 jobs -in the other two plants. They- then sold the shutdown plant to another corporate groupw_hich ie-opeped it and rapidly received a 2.5 million dgll& grant from -the red-faced DR$E officials. This created jobs for 436 workers. Altogether 3 million dollars was spent in ‘the creation df one job in the weaving indusiry, and it -must be assumed, a few more in the Ottawa‘z .bureaucracy. DREE- has a special dfection for large corporations. Northern Electric, a subsidiary of Bell; which has eked a mere profit of l-billion-dollars & the last ten years, ,received a ten million dollar grant in 1969 and’ laid off 5,000 workers in the following year. DREE has made more than friendly overtures to other independently wealthy &rporations: B.F. Goodrich (-1 .l million dollars), Union: Carbide (2 million dollars), -and IBM (6 million dollars). But it seems that nobody except. the corporations really appieciates DREE. The Quebec Federation of Labour stam that DREE has peTetua&d outside control of Quebec’s ecotiomy, has -neglected the poorer areas of the province, and has giveti most of the@ grtits to the l&ge corporations who treat -them as gifts. The- Canadian Science Council has suggested that it woyld be more profitable to subsidtie small-scale manufacturing since. the effect of DREE so ’ far has been leted to the subsidization of . iaefficiency . But . the main -dissatisfactions have been ~registered by’ the Atlantic Provinces Ecofiomic Council and the .\ Atlantic Development. Council. They corinplain that with the increasing bureaucracy and “poli&s” of DREE, their share has dropped from a much needed 33 per cerit to an insig+ficant 12 per cent of pant money. They point ;out that the large corporations supported by the ,govemgent are capital-inter&& rather than - labour intensi+e. Therefore, government from grants encourage private profits technological advaticetient -ratherthan employhent and regional development. Typical of the government’s policy’ was t& subsidization of Michelin who received grants %and loans of 88.97 million dollars from the federal

and-Nova Scotia goVernmen@. In a report to the US Commissionbf Customs, Michelin stated that the grant had no effect on their move to Nova Scotia. The only &emally commi&ioned examination of DREE confirms this as a pattern. The report , 3oncludes , - “Movement’ of location of pl;tswithin Cilnada is minimal, and significantly cants produce few changes in respe& to project tieing? project size, or technology used.. .-Rou&ly half of the incentive graqts do not influence-investment in any significant -ma-tier and can be considered to be windfall ,, gains.”

No w<ond& we citizens never hear of the batikdeals and intricacies involved in the remainhg myriad of corporate handout:programs. It is not surprising when we finally f@d out that ‘Canada gave away over 200 m&on doll$rs in &rants to defence contractors over the past six years. It is eym less surprising that 80 per cent of -thesegn)nts were’to US multinationals. IThe ,state’s half-hearted .commitment to ending regional disparities is not acci&nbal. In order to make any progress in such _a venture, the‘ government must not only subsidize a partictilarindustry for a period of ,time but it must also subsidize a whole network of supporting services, consumer hdustries and a technical infrastructure. -. - Such a’ commitment can only be funded by taxing the high-profits of corporations over a,long -pe’tiod of time. Such a, course would risk disaster for the lo&?-relationship between state and corporations. And +both of these groups are more --than whole-heartedly dedicated to screwing everyone else up;

money in that area. To briefly mention the types of problems with \ the present welfare system: l The bureaucratic structure of the ‘programs often provides an incentive not to work. In five provinces, the minimum wage is lower than welfare payments. In all provinces single mothers who accept work are penalized by cuts in their welfare grants. The only organization which has comprehensively examined itself, the Winnipeg Welfare Planning Council, declared that it was in a hopeless state of uncoordinated duplication of services, fostering inefficient and dehumanizing management. l The administrative bureaucracy has very little understanding of the particular problems of the poor and more often than not perpetuates the myth that the poor are essentially responsible for their own problems. Appeal boards and bureaucrats are mainly middle-class professionals who live in the suburbs. The poor are usually dehumanized and degradedsimply given their monthly handouts, and not offered the information required to come to a broader understanding of the social and economic basis of their situation. l The government is not particularly concerned with finding employment for the unskilled or even training them to be skilled. To qualify for manpower training, one must be able to develop enough skills to qualify for an occupation within 52 weeks. This obviously discriminates against the millions of Canadians who have less than a grade 8 education. l The worst part of the welfare plans is simply the inadequacy of the income and services provided. The rates of physical illness and psychological problems are much higher in these groups of people. The documentation of their maltreatment at the hands -of medical and legal _ institutions portrays an unenviable situation.

age or handicaps, were incapable of working. The protestant and frontier ethic was dominant in this era. It was believed that everyone could and should work to support themselves and their families. By the 1920’s the burden of supporting old persons was beyond the means of charity organizations and local municipalities, and in 1927, the Canadian federal government adopted a pension plan. After the depression, widespread unemployment was recognized as inherent in the economic structure and requiring large scale solutions. The various “social assistance” acts of the next forty years were passed largely in to the parliamentary pressure of response reformists. Still they were financed regressively -the worker _paid a higher percentage of his income for unemployment insurance and towards welfare schemes than did the millionaire. There has never been any indication that the government intended to eliminate poverty. Benefits were never tied to need but only to earnings (as in unemployment insurance) or to minimal subsistence levels (as in welfare payments). In 1966 the helterskelter of social assistance services was organized under the Canadian Assistance Plan. Aside from a slightly improved co-ordination of services, its main new wrinkle was to promise provincial governments that the ’ federal government would match all their -social assistance payments with equal federal grants. Of course, the poorer provinces who most need welfare subsidies could least afford to -allocate

The function, if not the design of these welfare programs, has been to take the steam out of social unrest by providing a subsistent standard of existence and to co-opt any possible unity of exploited workers and unemployed. The image portrayed by the media of the welfare recipient as a “chiseler” polarizes the low-wage workers against the welfare recipients. When welfare grants rather than corporate scandals are highlighted by the media, it is natural that someone who can barely afford the deductions for social assistance programs, who is not entitled to the free drugs and services received by welfare recipients, will become angry at those on welfare and blame them for their deprived economic condition. There are similar frictions between Canadian workers and immigrants, mainly in the low-wage industries ; the latter are often perceived as stealing the former’s jobs. Students are most hated, because of all the groups they are given the sweetest bribes. Because students are most articulate about the nature of their oppression,and with the least commitment, most prone to radical action, the government attempts to ensure that their unrest does not transform itself into political activity. Most of the 2 per cent of welfare “chiselers” are students whom the government deliberately leaves alone. They seem to feel that better they be stoned-than they stone the citadels of power. The government’s Committee of Youth affirmed the same reasons operated in the establishing of OFY, “For it was not unemployment per se which was seen as creating social unrest but rather inactivity and non-participation in general.”

The government meanwhile spends much of its energies ensuring that the true nature of exploitation is not revealed and that its fundamental relation to economic structures is mystified. In 1965, the government set up a special planning secretariat to investigate property. In 1966 it was disbanded. In 1968, the Senate established a committee in order to investigate the sources of poverty. In 1971, all the evidence linking poverty to the capitalist economic system was specifically omitted. The media are also responsible for perpetuating the myths of poverty. Jerry Goodis, a prominent advertising executive, testified before the Senate on Poverty in 1968. i Committee “The measure of editorial acceptability becomes ‘How does it fit?’ or ‘Will it interest the affluent?’ As a consequence, the mass media increasingly reflect the attitudes and deal with the concepts of the affluent. We don’t have mass media, we have class-media for the upper and middle classes.” Not only do 70 per cent of revenues come from 100 companies, mostly American and supporters of the Liberal and Conservative Parties, but the media themselves are owned by only a few powerful intersts. Together, they perpetuate an image of middleclass life which Porter in the Vertical Mosaic, . found only 4 per cent of all Canadians can actually’ afford. Because any radical analysis is denied representation in both the media and the political arena, the grievances of the impoverished and powerless are framed and illusorily solved by those politicians that corporations can afford to buy. The “liberal class”, if you will, composed of professionals in the therapy and rehabilitation business, welfare administrators, government bureaucrats , doctors, dentists, lawyers, and academics are engaged in the repair of the more damaging of capitalism’s consequences. They “fix” people up so that they can survive a while longer and if made “healthy” they competitively rejoin the “rat-race”. Such persons. form the substance and ethos of the middleclass. The liberal may correctly see that capitalism distorts human potential and dignity.. But, because he imagines that man’s experience and social relations can be separated from his economic activity, the liberal surrenders the possibility of developing a critique of human experience and social relations under capitalism. He forsakes any investigation into’ man’s nature and therefore easily capitulates to the dynamic of capitalism which promises, though rarely delivers, an ever increasing material abundance. Although in the pitfalls of his soul he may vaguely sense the dead-end of such acceptance, he has developed no theory to counter this temptation. He is left with no choice but to accede to the apparently logical demands of capitalismalbeit administered in a kinder and more sensitive fashion. Liberal ideology hides from itself the very economic foundations upon which it is dependent and from which it grows. The extent to which the structures of capitalism dominate the vocabulary in which problems and solutions are posed, are typically lost on liberals. The liberal fails to grasp the very i.deological structures by which capitalism finally seduces him and conceals its deadly workings. In failing to penetrate this the liberal employs his ideas and self in the arsenal of capitalist weaponry. cl

critique of the armed struggle now in progress both In urban and rural Brazil. s The book is made up of four sections,: preceded by a historical review of the .1930-1964 period. It, was during this time that the civilian politicians-still retained control of the state apparatus.Cetulio Vargas, (dictator for fifteen years ,and president for nearly four) with his “politics -of improvisation” kept the _ bourgeois republic polarizedbetween his block and that of the pro-imperialist elements. Vargas’ power base consisted of “skillful manipulation of the different ruling class groups and on ‘populist demagogy.“, His position was further strengthened by -the Brazilian Communist party’s willingness to work- with progressive, bourgeois forces. Even after his suicide in 1954, his method of drawing together’ antagonistic \ tendencies (the national bourgeoisie and the popular movement) was carried on by

chevron’

‘.

Joao Goulart (Getulio’s labour minister) until the reactionary’s ‘revohrtion of 1964. In section one three is a description of what happened after Goulart was overthrown by the armed forces. He was ousted for the simple reason that the popular movement, was pressuring him more and more to the left. The armed forces ‘srepped in to defend the 1946 constitution against the ‘enemies of democracy’: Coulart and the communists. During the next nine years (1964-1973) the armed forces went from q ‘guided democracy’ to an undisguised military dictktorship . The reason for the-escalation of repression was the’growth of opposition in wide segments of the population-the petty bourgeoisie (which ‘defended’ the need for the 1964 coup d’etat) the students, the workers, the peasants, the, lower ranks in the armed forces and the receding national bourgeoisie which did not enjoy the intervention of foreign capital. The stqte of terror launched the revolutionary war (1968) ,and thus prevented attempt at any democratization. Section two indulges in the portrayal of the worsening of conditjons for the exploited classes. The dictatorship acts as a catalyst in an already bad situation. However in the absence of any political opposition to the- regime, the most impoverished in the country-the landless peasants and. the -indians-have been subjected to severe persecution; :.a situation only possible because the armed forces have no legitimate constitution to respect. In other words the.“goriIlas” can do what they want in the name ofnational \ ‘security’. While genocide is reserved for the indians; the surplus peasantry is being transformed into agricultural proletarians. The latter commute to their jobs on the large farms from the urban slums, under what conditions one can well imagine. Quartim also describes the upsurge of . resistance among the workers and the students in 1967-1968. The student groups played ;a leading role until summer 1968 when the, armed forces moved in ‘decisively to restore. ‘order’. Close< to 800 students were arrested at once, at a ‘National Student Union meeting in Sao Paulo. The workers conducted a series of strikes which were soon repressed by the general’s government,, *. Section three and four open the debate on the actions’of the revolutionary left and the possible strategies to follow in the future. It is at this point-’ that Quartim identifies with Carlos Marighela’s A. L. N . (Action for National Liberation). Marighela’s theory can be summed up as follows: thesis-the hegemony otthe political. work over the military action; antithesis-the hegemony of the military action over the political work; synthesisthe union of political work with military action: Thus by carrying on with classical political work in trade unions, the student unions and then by combining it with military action in the form of bank raids, expropriations of weapons, establishment of the rural “foco”,-the Marighelists were and still are the vanguard of the revolutionary left. ’ Of course Quartim is alert to the need for constantre-assessment in face of the ‘changing -reality. Given the increase of repression ,/ much of the urban political work has had to be reduced (most of it concentrating today ‘on industrial sabotage). Military action in the cities has also been substantially cut down since the policy of ‘encircle and destroy’..is still in high gear.- Today the emphasis is on the rural ‘jfoco” and political work amongst the peasantry. Dictatorship and Armed Struggle in Brazil offers a good account of an aggressive sub-imperialist nation .. Brazil is the decisive country in Latin America and if armed struggle is the only road, to socialism there then the same can be said for the rest ‘of the continent. -

Atwood

In the last decade disillusionment with the United States has caused many young Canadians to search for and define their cultural identity. Dissatisfied with the established literati, namely Mordecai Richler, Irving Layton and Leonard Cohen,’ whose work is seen as tinged with New York cosmopolitanism ;* they have erected a new standard bearer to carry the word of nationalism and nativism. The newly found idealogue is Margaiet Atwood. Atwood, however, is riot really a newcomer to the literary scene. She is a respected poet, author of five volumes of verse most potably, The Circle Came and The journals of Susannah Moodie in which she deals with the frontier past both real and mythical and with the current destruction of the Canadianwoodlands. Her following increased with the publication of her first novel, The Edible Woman and then multiplied when Surfacing hit the stands. Atwood’s popularity is understandable if not acceptable. Her view of Canada is not only romantic but must also be quite comforting. She sees Canada and Canadians as powerless victims, unwittingly accepting American urban social conventions and falsities. Moreover, Canada to her is still innocent by virtue of its very powerlessness and undefined position in the world system. In Surfacing Atwood tells us that Canada can learn about itself and of its purpose in the universe. However, the answers cannot be found in the tainted cities, Montreal, Ottawa, or Toronto, but in the last Canadian frontier, the northern bush still largely untouched by civilization. This, she suggests, is where our history and identity lies hidden, submerged and waiting to surface. Essentially Surfacing describes a search for identity. The heroine, who remains nameless throught, takes two journeys in the course of the book. The first, which she undertakes in a spirit of hysteria and self-loathing, is away from the city and its social conventions into an obscure lake region in northern Quebec on what\ proves to be a fruitless search for her father (He is discovered drowned by others). She is accompanied by three friends: a married couple, David and Anna who bring the cities’ artificialities with them but who soon find themselves uncomfortable away from civilization and its diversions; and her lover, Joe, who rarely speaks and to whom she feels indifferent except in bed. The other. journey is an inward one, a search for her past (Atwood also used this’ device in the Edible Woman (which leads to what society would call a breakdown. This breakdown, however, is tor the heroine a necessary psychic voyage. She flees from’ her friends and what they represent and submits herself to the will of the indigenous spirits of the place who “here on the shore or in the water unacknowledged or forgotten, were the only ones who had ever given her anything she needed, and freely.” Atwood’s heroine then does not develop her character through involvement with the social world, rather she progressively sheds the ties and falsities that society has imposed on her. By alienating herself from her shallow and neurotic urban friends she allows herself to enter into the savage mind and finds that experiences she thought she had lost -had only been submerged. By the novel’s end the heroine is able to come up for air, td surface. She can now move back to the city fpr she is no longer a passive victim of her past, but is ready to take an identity. She’will trust herself to the world while at the same time refusing to be a victim of it.Certainly, The Edible Woman is a mere sketch compared to this second novel. While her other characters, David, Anna and Joe talk and think too little to take on

the Yet this was to be realized later and a more complete rounded reality, Atwood developed to the point where Pujol was provided some fine caricatures of foolish victims, empty of creative.introSpection, able, from 1892 to 1900, to draw crowds victimiz.ing and dehumanizing one and revenues far in excess of the imanother. mensely popular Sarah Bernhardt. Atwood has always been receptive to There is little to be said about the early the Canadian landscape. Not surprisingly years-they were laregly uneventful one learns that much of her life was spent passing winds. At the age of thirteen, the in the sparsely populated regions of young Pujol chose the mundane northern Ontario and Quebec. profession of baker towards which to Surfacing also reminds us that Atwood is direct his sensual energies and did indeed a staunch women’s liberationist. There is set up a small shop, just before he was one particularly obnoxious scene in the married (1883). Moreover, after his career novel, in which Anna is forced to strip for h in the theatre arts, Pujol was to t;eturn to the two men who ridicule her and record the baking business, where he spent the the event on film.

Every so often, the reader is treated to a rare event: the uncovering of an obscure but masterful piece, modest in appearance, but which breaks upon the senses like an explosion. The work of art, in this case, is a short biographical piece, unique in it’s essence, cutting to the very heart of the early Twentieth century French theatre. ’ Jospeh Pujol was born on the first of June, 1857, in Marseille. He was the eldest son of Francois Pujol, a sculptor who had achieved some reknown for his work given to the city of Marseille. Pujol’s whole ancestral background bespoke his future artistry, through his childhood and early adolescence, he was unaware of his gifts of resonance and long even-windedness.

bergasted he saw water pouring out of himself.. .whilst stopping breathing in through his nose and mouth and by putting his head under the water, the sea had come in through his ‘anus., .“. Years passed and Pujol grew to manhood, his unique physical quality forgotten, until one day he happened to mention the above-described experience to some friends. To their great amusement and Pujol’s astonsishment, he performed as he had done years before. Indeed over the next few months, Pujol found that he could develop his talents to the point where he could not only consume as much water through his orifice as he desired, but that he was suited for a like capacity of air. This was not all, for as the nascent artist was soon to discover, he could control the passage of air to produce certain distinct vibrationsand thus create musical notes. As one thing leads to another Pujol soon learned to play songs through his newfound musical instrument. From this point in Pujol’s life, the biographers take us to P.aris, where after trying his talent in the, smaller outlying towns, the young artist came to realize a lifelong dream-a position at the Moulin Rougereknown as “Le Petomane”. In most performances, Pujol was- dressed and worked in black and red silk-always an air of propriety and good taste. So he was able to appeal to a broad audience. And soon, Le Petomane was to reach such a height of popularity that reigning ‘view’ his anal monarchs came to aerobatics. Indeed King Leopold I I of

Belgium is said to have arrived for an evening’s performance later in Pujol’s career. Life went on after the “Belle Epoque” until 1914 when the war brutally burst the bubble of Pujol’s success as Le Petomane. With two of his three sons injured and the other taken as prisoner of. war, Pujol was too emotionally cut-up to seriously consider returning to the stage. He lived the rest of his life in obscurity, as mentioned earlier . Nohain and Caradec, have produced, to say the least, a conscientous and open biography. The style of writing, as befits a man of Pujol’s talents, is airy aid lyricala joy to read-an d the photographs that come with it only augment the work. One can easily end on this note, but perhaps it is better to refer once more to the t\extpart of a testimonial by an admirer later to gain fame with his own aerial exploits in the Far East: “Indeed it can be said of Pujol, that his farts did smell like perfume”. -dudley paul

An architecture student, John Creenwood, gave a folksinging concert in the Theatre of the Arts on Tuesday. It made a good change in the type of music to be found on campus lately: the quiet sound of his guitar composed a nice break between classes. The concert gave evidence that artistic talent lies beyond the art department. We hear far too little of students from the faculties of engineering and architecture from an artistic standpoint. All of the material presented was written by Greenwood. Each number seemed to be better than the one before it. His style could be compared to that of Gordon , Lightfoot-smooth and mellow. His lyrics were such that university students. could relBte easily to them. In one song for example, he tells of the engineering boat races (with real boats). Although most of the songs did have some religious connotations in them, they were liked by even the “non-believers” in the audience. Greenwood’s music was impressive, but the one thing which stood out in the show was his persbnality. His material was presented with an air of both humility and confidence. He was not afraid to admit his mistakes when he made them, while he did not feel he must apologize for them. In doing this he was able to relate well with his audience. His stage presence as a performer was excellent. Greenwood seemed just as at ease on the stage as he would on the street. His capability to show his sense of humour and a wide grin could charm any audience. Although John stole the show, it would be unfair not to give some credit to the two pe_ople accompanying him, Brad’ Sinclair on lead guitar, and D’Arcy Grant on base. because of the style of music, they did not really have the chance to stand out. They simply added to the total effect of Greenwood by harmonizing. So these two backup people had a positive effect on the success of the show. This was Greenwood’s first public showing and I hope it will not be his last. He has -the type of talent that we need in Waterloo to add variations to the music on campus. To people who were fortunate enough to see John Greenwood on Tuesday, or have seen him before, a book of his lyrics to the songs he sang and more are available in a songbook entitled “Peace on Earth“. -linda lounsberry

Au tres visages other children How do we best serve the handicapped their children to he/p themrealize capabilities? We do them a disservice by focusing ‘on their abnormality and structuring an educational programme for them based on a generalized un derstanding, of that abnormality. That assumes a homogeneity among ‘mentally retarded’ children in terms of both /imitations and potential, a homogeneity that simply does not exist.

It has only been fairly recently that people have come to accept mentally handicapped people as members of society in terms of the fact that they do indeed have needs and perceptions which must be ‘considered. But it isn’t enough that these people are ‘officially’ accepted. The understanding of individuals is lacking. Mentally handicapped people assume the same obscure sort of position as minority group as do so many others. What is the brand of ‘polite’ racism towards the native people here for example or the general attitudes contributing to sexism, ,simply takes on a different form in this case and the stereotypes result in the same type of oppression. One wouldn’t think of it in this way since, based on a generalized understanding it might naturally be considered that attitudes towards the mentally handicapped could be nothing less than benevolent. It is, too easy to consider that your attitudes stem from objective intelligent appraisal of the people. They are childre’n incapable -of anything beyond children’s activities and responsibilities. And so this is. The people take the role given to them by their caretakers, who develop the role or schema of that existence from their own misconceptions of the person -the values which apply to one form of existence, one set of perceptions carried over to a very different base. Finally the question arises: What is the mentally hand icapped person -or for that matter what is any defined abnormal personin himself or herself?

Contact seems to be the essential element lackingnot necessar.ily contact of parents but people in general with handicapped people. Contact moves ’ towards an intimate understanding of the individual situations and hopefully a more pure appraisal of the people’s perceptions and needs rather than the ‘understanding’ born out of a common acceptance of reality. Furthermore, what often happens is thaz we concentrate on ~the abnormality in diagnostic terms and make certain assumptions about the limitations of the developmental potential - of that child, then we arbitrarily restrict the opportunities to which we expose them. Then, when he doesn’t progress, we fee/ satisfied that our original diagnosis was accurate, when it was in fact our own limiting of opportunities and not his abnormality that retarded his growth. The two statements in italics come from an article written by the staff of the K-W Developmental Centre (Project Live and Crow) last year. Daytime training is given to forty children from ages two to six here, and deals with a broad spectrum of problems. At the core of the programme, strengthened self-concept promotes growth of the child and all activity is designed towards that end. Also, in- ’ dividual,attention plays a central role to development-the individual nature of the problems to be assessed and dealt with. Funding doesn’t allow for the hiring of many workers, but still a one to one ratio of workers to children is necessary to maintain a programme of high caliber. Volunteer help is fundamental to the programme and badly needed. So what begins as a statement of feeling about mentally handicapped people ends up as a type of advertisement for volunteers for the Developmental Centre, or, for that matter, an,y other of the agencies in the K-W community that serve the handicapped community. Interested? Contact .the Developmental Centre-115 University Ave. W (884-8080).

One of the key factors in last Saturdays win over the Warriors by the University of Toronto Blues was the Blues ability to effect a precision passing game. The Blues managed to accumulate a total of 425 yards through theair, which lead to six of seven [ouchdowns. Tomorrow the Warriors travel to Ottawa to take on the Care/ton Ravens‘ .

Warriors wiped weekly I

Last Saturday the Warriors ventured to Varsity stadium in Toronto only to be humiliated 48-O by the University of Toronto Blues. It was a big day for the Blues as they ground out 211 yards on the ground and accumulated 425 more yards through the air. Their total yardage gained of 636 yards keeps them on top of the league in total offensive yardage.

Meanwhile the Warriors experienced their own greatest offensive achievement of the season rushing a total of 131 yards and passing for another 59. Unfortunately the 190 yards was spread out through the game and thus did not pose a scoring threat. The two Toronto quarterbacks combined to complete 25 of 33 pass attempts which resulted in six of Toronto’s touchdowns. Toronto managed 39 first downs against 12 for the Warriors. The Warriors played well throughout the first half losing only fourteen points to the powerful Toronto team. In the second half the Blues exploded moving the ball at will against an injured riddled Warrior defense.

The Warrior team will not be looking back for the rest of the season as tomorrow the team travels to Ottawa to play the Carleton Ravens. Although the Ravens have a l-3 win-loss record, the Ravens have been contenders in each of their games right up to the final minutes. They feature a strong running game in their offensive attack, which is led by running back Joe Colvey who leads all eastern section rushers. The only hope for the Warriors tomorrow is if they can finally play as a team and muster up some team pride.

Coach Delahey admitted that he couldn’t believe that the Blues could be manhandling the Warriors so easily. Finishing the game with dignity seemed to be the main problem during the second half.

On Friday; September 28th, the McMaster Invitational track and field meet was held. Waterloo was represented by five girls-Marg Cumming, Liz Damman, Joan, Eddy, Jill Richardson and Pat Sparling. Although many girls did not go, the ones who did worked fairly hard and did well. Liz Damman came second in the 100 metres times at 12.4 seconds; Marg Cumming came second in the 800 metres _(2.28.6) ; and Joan Eddy, running in a section of the men’s 400 metre event, was timed in 55.9 seconds; and with a last minute unrehearsed relay team of Liz Damman, Jill Richardson, Marg Cumming and Pat Sparling, the girls came third out of seven teams. On Friday, October 5th, the Waterloo Invitational was held at Seagram’s Stadium. At this meet, four girls participated and came third overall in the standings. The best performance of the day by a female UniWat athlete was Marg Cumming’s first in the 400 metres with a 63.7 clocking, a personal best by almost four seconds. Other achievements were Brenda Grant’s third in the hurdles, Pat Sparling’s fourth in the 100 metres and Jill Richardson’s fifth in the discus. Also, a 4 X 100 relay was run, even in the absence of Liz Damman and Joan Eddy who were in Mexico at the time. for an invitational meet. The relay consisting of Jill Richardson, Marg Cumming, Brenda Grant, and Pat Sparling, placed fourth. The girls’ next meet is at Western on October 12th.

On Wednesday, Oct. 3 six flag football games were played. Vl South vs. Recreation was the first match, in which South was the team, defeating victorious Recreation 14-6. Wanda Bower sacred for Recreation, while Pat Munroe and Joanne Rowlandson ran touchdowns for South. Pat Monroe’s touchdown was the nicest one of the game. With great speed and agility, she ran a punt return and crossed the goal line. Vl West and V2 West met in a dead heat, finishing the game in a O-O tie. V2 North vs. Renison, was a good game with both teams i’ having strong offensive and defensive lines. But Jodi Harshaw of V2 North ran a touchdown, giving North the victory 6-O. A very close game was played when Lakeshore met V2 East. Lakeshore played very well, with a very small turn out, and defeated East 14-13. Deb Van Stone scored one touchdown for Lakeshore, *while Carol Burtuzzi, who displayed great co-ordination, caught with one-hand an accurate pass and scored the second ’ marker. Despite the fantastic playing of Lakeshore, V2 East had a star out on the field. Jyl White, who proved to be the backbone of the team, scored both touchdowns for East. a Vl North wasn’t up to par for their game against St. Jerome and suffered a hard loss, 15-O. Joan (Rookie) Matthiews and Marg (Mouse) Durrer scored the touch-

Field hockey update Two weeks ago the Athenas travelled to Guelph to take part in the Guelph Invitational. The very new Athena team returned home with a 2-2 record. The team was badly in need of some game experience and did show well. The first game against an experienced Guelph team was the downfall of the Waterloo gals. Guelph shut Waterloo out 4-O. After much evaluation and adjustment, the Athenas pulled together one of their best games defeating the McMaster II team 1-O. Rookie centre forward Sue Hamilton scored. Against the Mat I team, the Athena’s young defense held well against the stronger Mat team but fell behind 2-O. Centre- . Brenda halfback Eckhardt stepped up and scored to round out the scoring 2-l. The fourth and final game of the day against Western saw fatigue take over and the pace slow considerably. Marilyn Woods and Sue Hamilton scored for the Athena 2-O shutout. Coach Judy Moore felt the weekend helped the Athena club considerably. “Our whole team is very inexperienced and thus we have a long haul still ahead of us; however, we do have extremely fast forwards and will count on their talents heavily. Our forward line will be one of the fastest lines in the league this fall.” Defer& will be our toughest task to put together. “We must be more aggressive and more exacting in our tactics.” The Athenas played host to the Oakville Ladies Club Tuesday on Columbia Field. The game was treated like a scrimmage and so 1 the Athenas had already practiced for an hour before they played. The young Athena speed caught the Ladies off guard and the Ladies lost 2-l. . “Our offense and defense have not reached the concept of penetration in waves and consequently we are unable to sustain our attack.” The Athenas hope to rectify the situation this weekend when they spend 3 days in Michigan at a field hockey camp. Last- year the Athenas played University of Illinois, Michigan State, Ohio University and Indiana . University. “The weekend should pull us together as a team” says Judy Moore.

Getting chokedup Unfortunately, the “choke” has come to mean a lack of competitive character or courage. This is not the case-we all “choke” at times-it all depends on the situation. Actuallyf the problem is a psychological one, dealing with mental, emotional and imagery factors and personality types, as well as the effect of outside pressures which might be brought to bear on the athlete. It is a complex situation. Individuals react according to different pressures, different situations. As a result, there are many areas to consider, and a variety of solutions depending on the individual problem and the’ type of person. Sports psychologists generally agree that the first step in its control is to understand what causes it. To properly appreciate what actually happens and to

One of three

The Warrior rugger team completed a three game series last week managing to win only one of their encounters. The team managed to defeat Brock, but lost their encounters with strong Guelph and Western teams. On October 4, the Warrior rugby

realize that it does not represent some unsolvable weaknesses is the starting point. Basically, the “choke” is a result of muscle tension caused by anxiety-by concern with the possible outcome of such things as the play you are making, the total competition or some developing situation. People who are high anxiety types-who have great aspiration levels, who have a lot to lose, who are subject to great criticism or loss of face if they don’t perform well-are more subject to the problem. The greater the responsibility the greater the possibility that your performance will be spoiled by being over-activated, too “up tight .” /- According to research, the type of athlete who is most prone to “choke’‘-to not realize his potential under established pressure-is the one who tends to think about how he is going to do rather than what he is going to do. When you let your mind dwell on possible results (“what if we lose, what if I fumble,” etc., etc.) you develop a high emotional response and this can create an accumulating anxiety and muscle tension which will interfere with mind and muscle co-ordination. It takes away your normal “feel” for the activity . , But if you concentrate your thoughts on what you are going to do, mechanically, tactically, and technically, there is little emotional response and little emphasized tension increase. This is mental practice and is positive. But thinking about what is going to happen, unless you have a positive picture

your

performance,

creates too much activation of your nervous system. So be positive in your precompetition mental imagery. Assume an optimistic attitude and concentrate on preparation. The Happy Warrior who says, “I’ll do my best and let the chips fall where they may” is much more likely to perform to potential than the person who thinks, “I mustn’t make a mistake-it’s going to be tough, I hope I do well.” Dream mental pictures of what you are going to do, and see yourself doing them. Don’t let your fear of failure create the situation you are worried about>,, The “choke” is a problem-but it can be controlled. There are many aspects of it from sport to sport, event to event, situation to situation. We’ll be covering the whole range of problems and solutions in the future. Begin now. Start developing the habit of thinking about what you are going to do, not how you are going to do. -from

The Warriors played much better in the second half but still could not manage more than the one try. The Trojans also lost to their Guelph counterparts. On October 6, on Columbia field, the Warriors were unable to contain the strong Western backs, as Western ran to a 27-O victory. The Trojans faired somewhat better as they lost 13-6. Tuesday, October 9, again on Columbia field the Warriors played a strong first half and coasted to a 32-4 victory over Brock. Dave Cunningham, Mitch Hammer, Ted Dandy, Paul Stuffer, Gary Smith and Jim Dandy scored tries for Waterloo and Dave Cunningham converted four of the six tries. ,The last home game for the Warriors will be October 13. 4ave

‘Why was it done?

There I was, doin’ my job keeping the building safe and clean for all, when Captain Art and the federation proclaimed that the students wer& no longer able to use the building because Oktoberflesh was coming on campus! As the-dust was being cleared (attached to the furniture) a group of protesters took up their positions in the middle,of the great hall. For too long (three hours) they sat there while various people tried to “communicate” with them. What ‘they discussed, I don’t know, nor care about. What I don’t understand is, why was it done? Confrontation can be a good thing, but I would like to think that it would be for education. I don’t feel the protest taught Andy or Art anything. Nor will the students’ (who count, or, alternatively, who counts?) awareness be increased. All I could see happening was an increase of hostility, and probably added expense to the students if the feds .are pay by the hour. The oktoberflesh drunkfest went through the CC board in the “properlegal” way. Whether it was morally correct is a different thing. But it was done and we are committed. If you want the people to know what you think is happening, talk to THEM, not the “bad guys”. Use the Chevron, get a petition from people who want it both ways, but don’t expect people to be or think “reasonable” if you are going to be otherwise. Don’t get hung up about Easter., D .B.

Johnson not consistent The views of history professor Leo Johnson seem to be featured fairly frequently in your columns. The normal reaction of other faculty members is to say nothing. Certainly that is the most dignified response. But, with considerable reluctance and without having consulted anyone else, I -want to briefly break that silence. After all, it is only fair that someone who is so energetic in attacking various groups of people should occasionally be attacked himself, in his public, non-professional capacity. The point I want to make is this. Through his diverse campaigns there

seems to run a single common theme: the attempt to stir up one group of people against another. This week, for example, your readers learn that the faculty, in which ‘the inept and the mediocre’ are protected, is unwilling even to bother with students’ opinions. There have been other occasions when the emphasis has been laid on a -supposed conflict of interest between students and administration. There have been attempts to encourage faculty-presumably including the inept and the mediocre-to take a ‘hard line’ towards administration. When there seemed a chance that Canadianization would become a local issue, Prof. Johnson tried to divide ‘committed Canadians’ from outsiders, as anyone who attended Arts Faculty meetings in the spring of 1972 will remember. Yet a year or so

earlier, he was loudly beating the separatist drum, condoning the actions of the FLQ and proclaiming (according to your headline) ‘Canada is founded on a lie’. This’constant re-iteration of the the;5 of conflict almost, it would appear, conflict for the sake of conflict is certainly puzzling. M.T. Cherviavsky associate professor, History Leo Johnson will have to answer the criticisms of his views if he sees fit, but the reason those yiews “seem to be featured fairly frequently in [our] columns” is that he is one of the few professors on this campus who is accessible to the students and who is willing to-make his views known in public exchange.the lettitor.

Bring on more Fests The general response, or rather the lack of it, to recent moves on the part of the Federation to turn the Campus Centre ” into an exclusive entertainment centre has shown that profiteering is not only possible, but also popular. Students who are willing to pay money to enter their own building are obviously mentally and financially prepared to meet further ons‘laughts against their wallets and their common sense. Giving in to the general apathy that seems to have followed this latest Federation move, I have decided to place my allegiance with the new Powers-that-Be on campus - i.e. The Oktoberfest Autokrats T and hereby forward some modest proposals for future funfests based on the same principles as the latest binge. Why stop &lizing the Campus Centre now, when the prospect of profit still gleams on the horizon? Let’s get it on with some new rip-offs while we can, starting with: The K-W Plutokratfest --Nothing attracts money bitter than money, and to turn this homily into hard cash is the happy basis of a proposed Federationsupported Plutokratfest. With pub facilities still extant in the Campus Centre, its qn easy matter of taking down _ those Oktoberfest decorations and replacing them with computer printouts, blowups of the Financial Post and photos of the latest Rotary luncheon! In offering beer at cut-rate prices to anyone showing up in double-knits and a pastel shirt with matching tie, this new celebration attracts all those fun-loving members of the local business community! (But watch out-We must admit, you never can be - sure on exactly what “characters” might be attracted to such an event! Possibly hiking the general admission rate to $10 per person could offer some protection in this area.) You’ll find that these paragons of profit-making are always willing to put their money down on a surefire attraction like this one. Good 01’ white collar wit and wisdom is bound to tickle the fancy of thousands of students, all preparing to make their futures in the work-a-day world. . . . But the Campus Centre isn’t the only facility available at Uniwat for future “Good Times” planning! With this in mind, may I suggest the following possibilities: The Waterloo Tunnelfest: The approaching winter season offers an opportunity to exploit these hitherto unprofitable underground tunnels that honeycomb our home campus.’ And what better way to express our appreciation for these beneficient bowel-works than by organizing a general Tunnelfest for all students! “maze of mediocrity” is The former thus instantly transformed into a brilliant focus of public convenience and enjoyment. For a paltry fivedollar fee, any student can acquire a special two-week Tunnelfest Pass which entitles him to descend beneath the snows, tour the fascinating underground network of gailypainted thoroughfares and amuse himself by thinking all the while of&hose unlucky SOB’s who are literally “left out in the cold”! Cheery slogans, lik‘e “Baby, it’s COLD outside”, etc., could be displayed on tunnels walls, to remind everyone that the fun-filled federation production is also a splendid public service! Depending on the popularity of the first Tunnelfest, later

expansion on the theme could be made above-ground, so that eventually every corridor on campus could be included. to enhance the overall enjoyment. Or, may I suggest: Annual Merdemania-It’s a real joy to institution see an old unrecognized revitalized into a modern, money-making festivity! With this in mind, may I propose the organizing of a university “Shitfest” or, to add a toych of Gallic charm, a “Merdefest .” ~ Students’ eyes will light up with amazement when they find that deary “trip to the can” replaced by a fantastic , journey into 20thcentur-y efficiency and art-nouveau! After paying a $1 entrance fee to a pretty Merdemania hostess, anyone is allowed to spend five minutes, standing or sitting, in the newly outfitted “Dens of Doo-Doo” ! Shining chrome and spotless toilet seats and \ porcelain, ’ charming .Old-world grafetti attest to meticulous’ preparation on the part of the special Shit-Head Committee! No fuss! No bother! With the addition to restrooms of catchy gimmicks, such as coloured handsoap, etc., they’ll literally be breaking down doors to get in on the merriment! Need a solution to possible lack of public support? Alimentary, my dear Watson! A few truckloads of Ex-Lax sent special delivery to Food Services soon sets everything in motion. Merdemania! another federation hit! Enough said, I think, to convey my thanks to the Federation for their use of my, and your, Campus Centre this week. D. Osborne History grad

Is it all ’ wbrth it? Saturday night, and with a clang, the cage doors open. From the depths of academia, the Villages and places even more remote than that emerges the student rabble and associated hangers-on. Is their gathering aimed at fervent protest of the Chilean coup or the earnest discussions surrounding an Impeach Andy Telegdi Meeting? No, it’s Oktoberfest and the occasion is merely one more presentation of the Federationsponsored beer bust in the Campus Centre. After a two-dollar ante at the door, one was confronted with a choice of seats in an impeccably tasteless decor. Belvedere Cigarettes provided song books which soon had a more functional use as paper airplanes. Last week’s Chevron will be hard to find: it too found better uses as paper hats for the joyful celebrants. Plastic red-check tablecloths, of absolutely no use for soaking up spilled beer, were quickly discarded in favor of the more natural plywood tabletops. With the entrance ticket, one was entitled to a beer mug and a subsequent place in the line to the bar. Beer, at the recently inflated and apparently standard price of fifty cents a bottle was by far more popular than the also-available liquor. Food of a German nature such as ribs, sausage and pig tails, with lots of kraut and potatoes, was obtainable from the hard-working cafeteria- ladies, for a nominal fee of course. The most successful aspect of the evening was the entertainment. Ostensibly, a good quality four man oom-pahpah band played a variety of music to keep the rather small dance floor filled with jostling bodies. Often, though, the band faced stiff competition from the audience, whose enthusiastic tablepounding rhythms dominated good portions of the evening. Certainly, there were many persons to be seen in various stages of intoxication. Some had apparently started their revelries in the early afternoon. While intellectual pursuits such as beer fights and the like can be attributed to the atmosphere of the Centre, they also reflect the maturity (or lack of same) of certain individuals. One of the high points of the evening was the inspired individual who

chevron editorials Campus centre board needs a -new liberation!

IN 1968, the campus centre was “liberated” from administration control by students who physically took over the building and evicted the director. Today, five years later, the campus centre remains far from liberated: Burt Matthews still holds veto power over any decision made regarding the building; student cliques engage in petty infighting over the ways in which it is used; and the Campus Centre Board-the body supposedly controlling the use of the centre-is a structural farce, open to easy manipulation by any group which wants to go to the effort of stacking it. The Federation of Students, under Andy Telegdi, is attempting this year for the first time to win control of the campus centre. This has already been partially and indirectly accomplished by the Campus Centre Board being stacked this summer with federation members, who forced through motions allowing the building to be closed this week for Oktoberfestcontrary to established practice and philosophy. This is the first time since the “liberation” that the building has been closed to students, or that admission has been charged at the doors. According to Telegdi, the CC Board is less representative of the student body than the federation, and so is less responsive to the needs and wants of the students in regard to use of the building. There is little evidence the board can offer to counter this charge. Elections to the board have of late been about as exciting as those to the Greek government, with few seats even being contested over the past three years. Most of the student vacancies have been filled by acclamations of nominees reluctantly put forward by societies. In short, nobody really gives a damn. Structurally, the board is-even more pathetic than the other minor bureaucracies on campus. Its operating rules are fuzzy, its bylaws incomplete and vague, and its policies carry no weight even within its own procedure. The Oktoberfest affair has exposed all the worst loose ends of the Campus Centre Board. During this past summer, the ‘board was down to just five of its twelve members, the other seven being off-campus. Telegdi had been a member of the board since January. Not coincidentally enough, two new members showed up for the first time at the board meeting where Oktoberfest was originally brought up. They were Art Ram and Phil Lanouette. Ram was and ‘is chairman of the federation’s Board of Entertainment, a member of the federation council, and the prime mover behind bringing Oktoberfest to campus. Lanouette was a voting member of the Board of Entertainment and also a member of the federation council. Both had been recently acclaimed to the CC Board by the engineering and math societies respectively. Thus, three of the five voting members of last summer’s board had close tie-ins with the federation and the Board of Entertainment, and consequently a strong motive for seeing Oktoberfest happen. It was for these reasons that the charges of “stacking” and conflict of interest arose. What is most discouraging about this situation, of course, is not the fact that the Campus Centre Board was stacked, but that stood on a table in order to better display his exposed moons to the crowd. So, as Oktoberfest winds down in the Twin Cities, a great number of questions must be raised about the Festival and its relationship to the University. Whose decision was it to close down or restrict admittance to the Campus Centre? How much did expenses total? Will a detailed balance sheet be published which can justify a two-dollar admission charge, in view of what was actually delivered for the money? If control of the Campus Centre is to remain theoretically in the hands of the students, then all interested students must have a voice in’ its operation. It seems now that effective control is vested with bullshit campus politicians more interested in the self-preservation and augmentation of their own power than in being responsive to the student body. One of the most satisfying sights on Saturday night was Telegdi, rather than standing idly near the entrance of a room full of beer mugs, going around collecting empty beer bottles. Granted, a drunken Saturday night pub might not be the most appropriate place for sampling the feelings of one’s electors, but it is a good place to-start. John Buckberrough History II

the building is administered in such a way that stacking-or any other form of manipulation -is possible at all. The central issue, and the lesson which must be learned from Oktoberfest if the campus centre is ever to become in actuality a student building, is that a new system is needed; the campus centre must be removed from administration control, made unsusceptible to student political influence, and operated in some manner by an independent body of students. The federation is not the only group with an interest in influencing’the Campus Centre Board. The twenty campus centre turnkeys and activities coordinator Susan Philips, who are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the building, feel that they should have a stronger voice in its governing policy. Despite their heavy involvement in executing this policy, only one turnkey representative is allowed to vote on the board. Given their close association with the building, the turnkeys’ claim for increased control may easily be justified; in any case, what must be confronted here is a situation in which the power relationships are so ill-defined, and the conflicting claims so many, that the Campus Centre Board is crippled by internal uncertainties to the point where it is ineffective even within the limited potential allowed it by its structure. The campus centre could become a valuable student institution, but this will not happen until students take a direct hand in administering their own building. The logical vehicle for bringing this about is, for better or worse, the Federation of Students, within which body a board could be set up to administrate the centre. To avoid the kinds of conflict of interest disputes that came up this summer, however, strict safeguards must be built into the structure of such a board to assure its maximal independence. Such safeguards would prevent tampering with the board’s policy by the federation executive, and it would be ultimately responsible only to he student council. Unlike the other boards of the federation, whose chairman are appointed by the executive, a board set up to administrate the campus centre would have to be comprised of students elected at large from the faculties. Only in this way could it be ensured that the one student building on this campus would actually meet student needs. In addition, the campus centre’s responsibility to remain open on a 24-hour basis and free of charge should be actually specified in amendments to the bylaws of the federation. It-seems doubtful that this kind of initiative will ever come from the present student administration without a great deal of prompting. Although Telegdi has expressed a desire to win federation control for the campus centre, he will certainly resist any suggestion that the form of such control involve any relinquishing of sovereignty onthe part of his executive. It is imperative that students should demand that the federation take action to re-liberate the campus centre; it is equally important that they take care that their building should not be dominated-as is possible even now- by a small group of student politicians who remain insufficiently responsive to the needs and wishes of their constituency.
