President Burt Matthews approached the federation of students during the summer regarding a hockey arena. Matthews felt that there were no adequate ice facilities available to the campus community.

The arena would have to be financed by a compulsory student_. fee. In order to assess the students an additional fee, the students would have to approve the plan via -a referendum.

In the fall Matthews submitted four proposals for scrutiny, by the federation, Graduate Students Union and the Athletic Advisory Board. ( AAB )-.

The four proposals were: 1) 350 seat capacity arena, cost $490,000; I 2) 350 seat capacity arena plus a curling, $690,000: 3) 1,000 seat capacity, cost $630,000; 4) 3,000 arena, cost seat capacity $1!090,000.

The federation, Graduate union and the AAB were charged by Matthews to answer two questions: 1) is there need for a hockey arena ?: 2) what type of an arena should be built?

Once the recommendations were received

by Matthews, he would put the proposal to a referendum.

Originally, Matthews stated that only one arena plan would go to a referendum.

He did not want the referendum to be confusing to the students.

The Athletic Advisory Board, after numerous meetings put forth its proposal.

The AAB called for a $1.5 million arena financed over -15 to 20 years with cost to students not to exceed $10 per year. The arena would be a mu1 tipurpose facility including things like an indoor track and seating for 3,000 to 3,500.

The AAB made a number of points favouring a multipurpose facility.

Students who are nonskaters could use the spectator facilities as well as the indoor

track. The other arguments for the AAB proposal are too numerous to include.

The AAB felt that in order that students should get the arena of their choice the cost to students per ye.ar should not be a variable.

The proposal would mean that $10 per year would be paid by students whether the arena cost $500,000 or $1.5 . million.

It should be recognizedthat the AAB expresses its bias towards its field of interest: athletics.

At a meeting with federation president Andrew Telegdi, Matthews indicated that he would not be in favour of an arena that would _involve long-term financing.

Matthews further indicated that he saw a f iv_e-year repayment arrangement for the arena.

In order to solicit feedback on the effect of a five year limit on the arena proposal a questionnaire appeared in the Chevron.

From the limited response to the Chevron questionnaire it was obvious that a five-year limit on the project would eliminate everything but a minimum facility as the cost of a more elaborate facility would be cost-wise p,rohibitive to the individual student.

The argument used by Matthews against long term financing was that a small number of students should not be in the position to commit a large number of students who had no chance to vote on the referendum.

The obvious counter argument is that the people in the future would be using the facilities and therefore should not mind paying for it.

In order to respond to the questions asked by Matthews, the federation took the following actions: Telegdi consulted with the presidents of the various faculty societies and solicited feedback

from the residences.

In order to gain an understanding of the AAB position, Telegdi attended all AAB meetings dealing with the arena as well as consulting with Matthews on numerous occasions.

The role of the federation in this case is to ensure that it is the students who decide on the issue.

The duty of the federation is to ensure that the referendum is fair in content. questions asked by Matthews are no: b~in~c~~~~~r~dth~~ LlI federation executive.

The question whether there is a need for a hockey arena and what type of facility desired should be answered by the students.

After extensive consultation with the presidents of the faculty societies and other student groups the federation of students made the following submission to Matthews : ‘1) Extensive advertising should be done to ensure that students know of the implications of the referendum.

2) In order for the referendum to be considered valid a minimum of 25 percent of the student body must vote.

-3) The financing of the arena should be long term, 15 to 20 years.

4) Three arena proposals should appear on the referendum: ( a ) $490;000-350 seats (b) $630,000-1,500 seats (c) $1.5 m.-3,500 seats 5) If the referendum is positive a board should be set up under the federation of students.

Voters should vote on the 1st and 2nd choices.

The proposal that receives ,the least votes should be dropped and the 2nd choices used.

The voting members of the board would be : one member from each faculty society and the federation. The members would be appointed and answerable to the body -they represent.

If the graduate students are involved in the financing then they would have proportional representation on the board.

Administration and the AAB could have non-voting members on the board. If administration ‘and faculty want voting members on the board then they should contribute to the arena financing.

The duties of the-board would be setting policy and priorities for the r arena.

The rationale behind student control of the arena is -to ensure that the student interests are protected.

In case you had not noticed, the campus centre has been trying to improve its image. To this end the campus centre board has refinished all the chairs and couches in the great hall as well as all the lounges. Plans are in the works for sprucing up the pub area by removing the rug and painting the floor,.and placing murals in the great hall.

Under the tight rein of activities co>rdinator Susan Philips, the campus centre has moved away from its former image of being a place for hippies and others seeking refuge from the rest of the university and community.

Even the Globe and Mail would have difficulty ‘finding fault with the activities of the people in the building.

Lately notes have been placed in strategic positions asking people to/remove their shoes before they place their feet on the furniture. Further instruction from Philips has caused the removal of the few four-legged visitors to the campus centre. As she removed two dogs Tuesday afternoon, turnkey Kati Middleton explained the situation saying, “We have to start enforcing the policies.”

It just ain’t home no more.

Ice ritiks and more President Burt Matthews has received all the proposals for the maybe-to-be-built ice arena and the future of the maybe-building is in his hands. Several faculty groups, the Athletic Advisory Board (AAB) and the federation of students have all submitted advice as ,asked for. It’s up to Matthews how to design the tentative student referendum, or whether to hold a referendum at all. If he feels there is’ insufficient support, he can decide simply to cancel the whole project before it begins.

Matthews may be wishing he had never gotten into the issue at all. Both the A-AB and the federation recommended long term financing (i.e. 15-20 years) rather than the five-year plan Matthews said he favors ; but, of course, in 20 years Matthews will be the only person left around to take all the bullshit from students who are forced to pay without ever having had a chance to vote on it.

He can get out of that position by claiming insufficient interest by students-an engineering society has already told him they don’t, want to pay-and refuse to hold a referendum; but it would seem that at this point the student body should be given a chance to express itself and decide rather than simply taking the word of student “representatives.”

In order to receive the largest student sample if the referendum is held, polling stations located at strategic spots around campus should stay open at least for a few consecutive days.

While millions of Americans were hanging on every word of their dear president, ours was busy taking his own very original actions in regards to the ‘energy crisis’. Dated November 22 and printed on very nice brilliant white paper with some green trim-just enough to catch your attention, Matthews directs all faculty, staff and students to do the following: . . turn out the lights . .keep outside doors and windows closed . .reduce the peak load.

Luckily further explanations were included with these orders for those of us that do not recall having a peak load.

Matthews states that he-believes “that the University can reduce its demands on the energy sources available to us” and goes on to elaborate on what measures he is prepared to have us take. Light levels throughout the university buildings will be reduced to levels advised by ‘lighting authorities’.

An investigation will commence immediately of the heat levels in all the university buildings.

Night-time flood lights will be curtailed where it will not interfere with saf,ety on campus. And, a great saving will be made by reducing the amount of outdoor Christmas lighting displays. The lights will be on only from December 15 to January 2.

“Peak Load” the memo informs us is the highest rate of energy consumption.

The university is billed for energy at a rate determined by the heaviest load on the system.

Matthews asks everyone to cooperation in reducing the university peak load. To do this he suggests that we turn out the lights when .ever we can during the daytime, restrict the use of electrical heaters, keep the doors closed, and restrict the use of Christmas lights in the departments.

The university is the largest user of electrical and gas power in the community and Matthews hopes that by reducing the consumption here, the community can better cope with the ‘energy crisis’.

H.olding out on thle food r battlefront While supermarket chains have been able to keep ahead of the inflationary climb of food prices by constantly and mystically raising the food services retail prices, department and ‘the student villages have been caught in contractual binds.

Theoretically a break-even service to the students, food services and the student villageswhich are served by food services-are both anticipating >su&tant ial deficits this year.

Fortunately, hot h food services and the villages have accrued surpluses over the past three or four years which can probably absorb the deficit spending.

Village fees-which are frozen for the year by contract-will definitely go up next September, probably as much as $50 per term.

The villages now charge $590 per term for a single room and $540 for a double. The price of guest meal tickets have been raised (from $1.50 to $2 for suppers) until Christmas at least, but resident fees are frozen.

“We and the students are locked into a contract”, said professor H.R.N. Eydt, head of the villages, “and although the only thing that hasn’t gone up over the past year is the phone bill, we can’t pass the raises on to the students.”

The cost of fuel oil and electricity have risen by about 10 percent. per year for the past five years--and will jump again soonsalaries have gone up due to union negotiations and food prices have jumped drastically.

According to food services spokesman Ron Mudie, meat prices to the university have risen an average of 133 percent since last December, staple items have risen about 36 percent and some food items are simply unavailable, Lvhether because of hoarding or actual lack of supplies.

“August was the worst month for us so far,” said Mudie, ‘!and prices have begun levelling somewhat since then, although it is still quite irregular and we never know from week to week what prices are.”

Food services raised its prices in its cash areas-cafeterias in the campus centre, modern languages and south’ campus hall-and it appears as if the department will now run about $20,000 over its budgeted deficit of $67,000.

The residents of the villages have been- asked to help cut the cost of food .by cutting back on wastage.

At present there are no limits on the amount of food a village may eat. and Mudie says he doesn’t want to change that policy if it can be avoided.

“The villagers are really trying to help,” he-said. “We have asked them to take only one serving at a time and then come back if they avant anot her. Before, people kvould take maybe three helpings and two of them would wind up in the trash buckets when they decided they weren’t really that hungry.”

A memo was recently distributed to all residents of Village I announcing strict penalties for removing food, from

the dining halls, which has also been a substantial cause of loss.

Village I Seems to lose more money through this than Village II since access to the dining hall is more open in Village I. There is essentially.only one way in and out in Village II. The Village I penalties for removal of food are: $5 fine for first offense, $10 fine for second offense and “possible expulsion” for a third offense.

Supply-ing village students with meat has not been easy, since meat prices have fluctuated so wildly over the past year.

Hinds of beef which cost 65 cents per pound in December 1972 shot to $1.08 in August and have now levelled off to 83 cents. A pound of bacon (wholesale) shot to $1.60 in August.

Even the humble old weiner has risen to 74 cents a pound.

But even though beef prices seem to be levelling off, the price of other meats is rising now. Pork and chicken prices are both rising sharply, and are inconsistent from day to day.

“In past years, we could swing from a suddenly more expensive item to another item, but now everything has gone up. And, even ivhen we call and get the price on something, by the time we order it a few days later it has jumped again,” said Mudie. : He pointed out that food services has also had to take on added costs besides food costs, such as heat, electricity, janitorial. and labour costs.

Mudie said that food services had budgeted to spend $2.05 per student per day for providing food for the villages. That has now risen 19 cents to $2.24 and will probably go up again.

“You tell me where you can get unlimited food for $2.24 a day”, he asked. He has reason to believe the prices of -cheese and dairy products are due to go up again soon aIs0.

The only thing on Mudie’s listwhich has gone down since the index month of last December is canned tuna, which is down .5 percent.

Mudie said he is not sure where all the money from the price hikes is going.

“Somebody’s getting a lot more money now, but nobody’s saying so. The farmer says he isn’t getting it, t.he distributors say they aren’t, and we’re sure not.”

He said he doesn’t want to see the villages restrict the helpings of food. but it may be unavoidable.

Most other student residences now have restrictions, he said.

“I personally don’t want to see us change the system, but ‘if we can’t keep up, we’ll obviously have to go to the villages and give them the alternatives.”

Mudie stated that the amounts and quality of food services., fzod has not been cut back by the price rises. Many items just aren’t available, and so don’t appear these days, however.

“Rice, raisins and solid pack apples (for pies) are just not for sale”, he said. “Spaghetti, which used to be a fairly cheap food, has

risen 55.9 percent over the year and flour and other essentials have also gone up.”

Much less spaghetti now appears at the villages, and rice-which is in a period of shortage around the world -doesn’t appear at all.

Although Eydt admitted that a $40-50 increase in village rates is inevitable for next year, he said that Waterloo rates are still “not bad at all” compared to the other campuses.-george

-Those red hangmen Painting a grim picture of life in thesoviet Union, John Kolasky the guest of the Ukrainian club was welcomed heartily by his hosts.

Marking an anniversary of the Ukrainian famine of the thirties, the association was happy to hear Kolasky confirm their - belief in soviet repression.

Kolasky was speaking in the campus centre last Thursday, sponsored by the Board of Education and the UkrainianClub.

Very few people came to listen to Kolasky who had not already decided what they-wanted to hear or even did not know already what he was going to say.

An old Canadian communist and a proud holder of three different university degrees Kolasky saw himself as an expert on the Soviet Union-until he went there for himself and found that all was not as he had thought it- was. He returned from- a two year investigative trip into theUSSR with a very different view of the country and he sees it as his job to spread the truth.

He now sees the Soviet Union as a not so nice place to be after allwhere only Russians have any control at all and Ukrainians are a suppressed minority.

Soviet government is “for all intents and purposes composed of Russians for the sole purpose of advancing Russians and Russia”.

In Stalin’s era, when the Soviet Union moved into the Ukraine they began a sy-stematic destruction of the peasants, the ruling class and the intelligensia.

The famine of the

early thirties in the Ukraine was the result of the Soviet Union coming into the area and taking all the food, in order that the Ukrainian people would starve to death. Kolasky’s own estimate of the number of peasants killed as a result of this move runs into the millions. Kolasky also claims that the standard of living is lower in the other provinces than in Russia itself-because of russification.

The Russian language is promoted throughout the country at t,he expense of the other languages.

Kolasky finished up with a real flourish, “I was supposed to talk to you about civil rights in the USSR, however, as you can see, there aren’t any”.

Kolasky answered a few sparse questions and then left us on a warning note, “today it is the USSR and tomorrow it may be us.”

My Goodness.

Theft m Sudbury q

SUDBURY (CUP)-SGA vicepregident; Roger Campeau admitted to stealing some copy and the editors files about incorporation of the student newspaper-Lamda-last week at an inquiry.

Lamda staff and council member Mike Slawny, began the period raising a series of questions about the thefts. A former editor of the Lamda, Lynn Downer continued the attack criticizing Campeau for his part in the publishing of the counter paperthe “Laurentian Alternative”that saw its main role as that of criticizing the. Lamda and its editor, Bill Scanlon.

In a vote of nonconfidence called during the meeting, council voted-23 to 4 against Campeau. His resignation is expected soon.

Council also granted Lamda enough money to print until the proper budget can be handled at the next meeting. Also, the committee to look into the incorporation of the paper was reformed. Scanlon was pleased with the outcome of the evening.

KINGSTON (CUP )-The female homosexual is in worse straits -than the male homosexual since she is both a woman and a homophile and suffers from the stereotyping accruing from the ‘combination of the two, George Hislop of the Community Homophile Association of Canada told Queen’s students recently.

Hislop’s speech followed a film “Anything You Want to Be” dealing with the double standard imposed on women throughout their lives ; they can be anything as long as they are housewives and mothers.

Hislop insisted that homosexuality is a fact, has always been a fact, and needs no more explanation than heterosexuality.

The only difference between a homosexual and _ a heterosexual is the primary erotic attraction.

A homophile is no more promiscuous than is a heterosexual.

Just as the .heterosexual is not attracted to every member of the opposite sex, neither is the , homosexual at- ’ tracted to every member of her sex, he said. -A large number of homosexuals are married, through ~ pressure applied by family and friends or the need for a cover, he maintained.

The legal aspects of homosexuality are a primary concern of - the Homophile Association which Hislop leads.

Although the Criminal Code still discriminates against those single and under 21 who engage in sexual acts, whether homosexual or heterosexual, Hislop claimed that generally it-is only the homophile who is prosecuted.

He suggested that this is because heterosexual policemen cannot identify with homosexuals.

The homophile t is confronted with other legal oppressions.

The Immigration Act forbids a known homosexual to enter the country. A homophile is not allowed to adopt a child.

Homosexual fathers or mothers are not allowed access to their children.

The last &vo restrictions, Hislop contended, were considered to be rooted in the fear that a homosexual is immoral and would raise the child as a homophile.

Although the association has made some progress in amending certain legal discriminations, he admitted that progress is slow and it is difficult to solicit aid from political circles. Hislop suggested that if straights discussed their fears and feelings of sexuality with gay acquaintances, 4,000 years of discrimination could be terminated. If a straight’s readion was indifferent to gays, the homophile wculd”no longer need to fear condemnation.

This, he concluded, is the objective of the association.

Women and credit The following article is a copy of a speech by Pat Noonan addressed to the Credit Granters Association in Windsor last May. It is reprinted from Chitty’s Law Journal through CUP.

One woman had charge accounts in several stores. After she was married she asked that her accounts be changed to her new name and address.’

One store immediately closed her account, and the others sent her application blanks to open new accounts in her husband’s name, based on his credit rating.

A woman making $20,000 a year, $7,000 more than her husband, applied for a Diner’s Card. She was asked to obtain his signature as her authorizing officer .

One of the blanks gave a single man a $1,000 credit line, while a single woman, with the same salary and more capital, was granted only $500.

Another woman in her forties, the head of her family, wanted to buy a home for herself and her children. She was told that to get a mortgage she would have to ask her seventy-five-year-oldfather, living on a pension, to cosign it.

A single woman in her early thirties was denied a bank loan to purchase a summer home, although she had cash for a substantial down payment and was steadily employed as a practical nurse. Her fiance, who had gone through bankruptcy, had no trouble getting a loan to buy the same property with a smaller down payment.

When a couple applied for a home loan, the wife, twenty-nine, was told that in order for her salary to be counted as part of the total family income she must sign an affadavit stating that she would practice birth control and planned to have no more children. This despite the fact that the woman had worked steadily for thirteen years, was earning $475 a month and her only child was eight years old.

The mother refused to sign the pledge, and, since her husband’s earnings were not enough to qualify them for a loan, they lost their new home.

A 1971 survey of savings and loan associations asked how these organizations would credit the salary of a-twenty-five year old wife with two school age children, a woman who worked full time as a secretary.

Of the seventy-four that replied, twentyfive percent would count none of the wife’s earnings ; over half would count half or less; twentytwo percent would give full credit.

Another study was done on bank loan policy. A man and a woman, each earning $12,000 and each sole support of a family with almost identical financial and personal qualifications, visitied twenty-three banks to borrow $600 for a used car.

More than half the banks refused to lend the woman money without her husband’s signature, or approved the loan only as an exception to their usual procedures.

Several suspected that the woman’s marriage’ was in trouble when she said she didn’t want her husband to cosign and recommended marriage counselling.

These and other stories add up to the claim that banks, savings and loan associations, credit card companies, retail stores and the government all discriminate against women in extending credit. . .women in all stages of life. . .whether single, married, divorced or widowed; with or without children, rich or poor, young or old.

Most of the complaints come from married women. They resent the fact that credit cards are issued in the names of their husbands regardless of the woman’s financial qualifications.

A woman who has worked before her marriage and continues to do so after, discovers that marriage cancels out her former responsibility toward money and bills. She is a non-person.

Her credit cards are cancelled. She can get new ones in her husband’s name, but her past record is not taken into consideration.

Suddenly she is a dependent who cannot be trusted unless daddy signs for her. Often shesuffers from a drop in credit rating and this usually results in loss

of credit in her own ~name.

But no laws exist in any province which prohibit credit being extended to married women. The differential treatment is largely the result of policies and practices arising from the legal responsibility of a husband for his wife’s debts.

To many men this is an unfair responsibility.

But if women were given a salary for housework and childcare services then they could take care of their own debts. Until this comes about though, many women have their own money from outside the home and they would like to have credit cards that they can take care of by themselves.

Another area of discrimination is that of loans and mortgages.

A married woman’s financial status of ten means little or nothing when she and her husband apply for a loan or mortgage.

Many banks and lending institutions have simply refused to take into account a wife’s income. Consequently, the families have been denied credit because the husband’s income alone is not sufficient.

The decision is often based on theoretical future events: the lender conjectures that the woman might get pregnant and-or stop working. Once again, married women become financial non-persons.

Many women presented briefs of complaint to the Royal Commission on the Status of Women. This led to the recommendation “that the National Housing Loan Regulations be a.mended so that for purposes of the gross debt service ratio either husband or wife may be deemed the purchaser, and up to fifty percent of the income of the spouse of the purchaser may be included in computing the annual income”.

Such changes have been enacted by the federal government but many other loan and credit associations some catching up to do.

- If married have women have complaints, widows and divorcees find a new complication.

Whether or not they have worked in the past they have difficulty getting credit unless they have established their own credit record-a feat that is almost impossible, since a married woman can seldom getcredit in her own name. The present rate of marriage breakdown is increasing the number of women who are making independent financial deals.

Many of these complaints have come to my attention because of my involvement in Women’s Liberation.

It is important to listen to what women are saying today. There is a new consciousness around. Women are standing up and saying that they are people too. This new consciousness rejects the traditional stereotype of the dependent female who has to be defined by the man in her life. . More and more women are saying that they are responsible human beings who are quite capable of making decisions on their own. The use of Ms instead of Miss or Mrs says something about their desire to be recognized as individuals.

Mr is readily accepted for men even though it makes no reference to marital status. But when it comes to a woman, the paramount issue is whether or not she is married.

Marriage would be more popular if it had room for two people instead of one and a half. Most women in Women’s Liberation are married, but they do not see why a marriage contract has to wipe out their personhood and individuality.

But there are many other women, not identified with Women’s Liberation who are speaking _up about their lack of recognition They have seen some progress made in the area of job discrimination.

Recent work legislation ensures that women must not be treated differently at work because of sex.

But these work improvements only draw more attention to the issue of credit discrimination.

More than three million Canadian women are working fulltime. They make up one third of the work force (and half of them are married).

They see the contradiction.

If they are good enough to work, why aren’t they good enough to get credit?

I am speaking for some angry women. . Credit \personnel are very unpopular in women’s circles.

Maybe the anger is misdirected but they see credit granters as people who are stereotype women. All women are credit risks.. .a11 women get pregnant. . .a11 women quit their jobs.

Being refused credit for reasons connected with sex or marital status has been a radicalizing experience for women who never believed that Women’s Liberation stuff before. Individuals have become angry, but very little large scale organizing has been done locally.

But as more and more women exchange stories, the demand for change increases.

Some groups have kept a file of cases where women give reasons for their credit refusal.

Itdoesn’t take long to get a list of the places accused of credit discrimination.

Boycotting is still an ef- , fective weapon for women because of their consumer power. .

The University of Waterloo water Warriors took their first league swimming meet w drowning Queens with a score of 69 to 44 on Saturday, Nov. 24 in the -PAC building. The stands were filled with a noisy, anxious crowd (aftermath of the Naismith).

The medley relay, consisting of Adamson, Phillips, Hughes and Krawczyk broke the old team record which stood for two years by 1.5 seconds, going 3:56.2.

Dave Wilson won the 50 free in 23.1 with Stacy Spiegel of Waterloo coming second with 24.0. Later Wilson won the 100 free and broke a team record by 3 tenths of a second going 51.0.

Louis (Alphabet) Krawczyk came with 52.0.

Diver Lester Newby displayed his old form winning both one and three metre boards, Ken Hill finishing third on each from Waterloo.

Ian Taylor won the distance events, the 500 and 1000 free going 5: 27.9 and 11: 17.7 respectively.

Other recorded excellent times this year so early in the season were by Mike Hughes doing his personal best with 2:12.7 in the 200 butterfly, and Doug Munn and Randal Phillips in the 200 breaststroke going 2: 32.9 and 2: 23.9 respectively.

The Robinson Duo, Peter and Eric did well in the 200 individual medley going 2: 14.7 and 2: 15.6.

Waterloo Warriors slaughtered Queens in the final event, the 400 freestyle relay by coming first and second.

Today, November 30, theico-ed swim team left at 7:OO AM for Michigan State, Western Michigan University then on down to Indiana before the evening is over to compete--against Notre Dame tomorrow.

Two meets are planned for each sex (this is getting perverted).

A good number of the team is thinking of heading south to beautiful downtown Fort Lauderdale to train in the Swimming Hall of Fame pool for the Christmas holidays.

The wrestling team has upcoming meets at Guelph on \November 28, Toronto December 1 and at Western December 8th.

Athena

v-ball

The Athena volleyball team realised a three year dream by defeating the University of Western volleyball team Tuesday evening.

This is the first time during the three years that the girls from Western have been beaten in league play.

The girls volleyball schedule has been altered this year, to include a series of tri-meets, instead of the single games. The Athenas also defeated the girls from Guelph the same evening.

Much of the Athena strength can be attributed to the tall crop‘ of rookies, selected by coach Pat Davies.

The Athenas now have a perfect record of four wins and no losses, as they had defeated both McMaster and WLU at a previous trimeet. By virtues of those wins, the Athenas are in good standing for the league championship.

The Athenas will be hosting the annual Waterloo invitational volleyball tournament on January 10 and 11th. ^

Athena , b-/ball The Athena Basketball team came up with two good games in the last week.

Last Friday night’s game against McMaster was rather interesting.

Mat; obviously warned about the Athena’s Pat Tathan,’ elected to.play a diamond and one defense in hope of limiting Tathan’s scoring. Tathan played it well, staying in a wide high post position which had the effect of keeping two defensive men occupied. This allowed the rest of the Athenas plenty of room to work in the offside wing and base position.

Good shooting and good defense combined for a well earned victory for the Athenas. The final score was 61-42.

Becky Duffy had the hot hand of the evening scoring 7 for 8 from the floor while Pat Tathan beat out the defense for 13 points.

On Tuesday the Athenas met last year’s champions,’ the University of Western Ontario. The Western team returning with most of last years team plus two first string rookies proved to be tough opposition Waterloo $&ted‘ out strong, particularly on the defensive boards, however, they were not so fast to react on the offensive boards. As a result Western was able to open up the game a little w.ith three fast breaks.

The Athenas settled down after that

and started playing steady offense and were able to even it up by the half.

The second half saw Waterloo assume a lead which they kept most of the way through that half.

The last four minutes seem to be killers for Waterloo as they‘sat at 49 points while Western slowly closed the gap due to Waterloo turnovers. With less than a minute to play, the Athenas were up by two when a mid court gave Western the opportunity to tie it up. Waterloo failed to make good on the return down the floor sending the game into overtime.

Going into overtime the Athenas had 3 first stringers in foul- trouble and one by one they were elimin-ated * from the game. In the meantime Waterloo only managed to hit for 2 points while Western kept’m rolling. Final score was 59 52, a disappointing finish for the Athenas who did play an excellent game. .

.

Puckers perk On Sunday, November 25, the Warrior’s managed to squeeze a victory from the Carleton Raven’s, and a tight squeeze it was, with the Warrior’s pulling ahead 7-6 in the last few minutes of play.

The Raven’s took the lead early in the first period by beating Snoddy in the far left corner. The Warrior’s responded for three goals with Hawkshaw, Guimond, and Stubel collectihg the markers and Elliott getting assists on all three goals. Carleton managed to slide one more under Snoddy to end the period 3-2.

Carleton tied the game-early in the second period on a slapshot from the blue line that slipped under Snoddy’s legs. Warrior’s pulled ahead on a goal by Barnes from McCosh but Carleton came back with two quick goals to take possession of the lead. Before the siren went to end the second period Elliott managed to put one by the Carleton goaltender on a pass from Partland and Guimond leaving the score at the end of the second 5-5.

The third period proved to be action packed and tense for the fans. Waterloo put the pressure on during most of the period but Carleton’s goaltender, pulling off some superb saves managed to keep the Raven’s in the game.

Stubel netted the first goal in the third period on a pass from Barnes and Nickleson which put the Warrior’s ahead 6-5. It didn’t take long for Carleton to come back and slip one inan empty corner with Snoddy caught down and out of position.

Warrior’s Bill Stinson managed the winning goal on a pass from Madeley.

The last twenty seconds saw Carleton pull their goaltender in favour of a sixth attacker but Waterloo managed to kill off the pressure and win the game 7-6.

This proved to be Waterloo’s worst defensive game of the season and they must show improvement if they hope to keep pace with the Toronto Blue’s.

The next home game will be Friday November 30, when Waterloo will meet one of their tougher opponents, the Western Mustang’s.

Naisrviitk victory University of Waterloo captured its second Naismith championship in three years as Mike R/loser scored an astonishing total of 52 points, and set three all-time records, to lead the Warriors to a 77-66 victory over the Sir George Williams Georgians last Saturday night. Moser scored 99 points in three games surpassing the total of 78 set by Brian Heaney of Acadia in 1968. Heaney is coach of the 1973 CIAU champions, the St. Mary’s Huskies of Halifax. Moser broke his own record of 37 points in one game, and connected on 24 of\ 39 shots.

The Warriors entered the championship game after having defeated Brandon University 98-82, and the University of Ottawa 74-65.

Sir George Williams advanced to the championship game following victories over the Windsor Lancers the -McMaster (93-78 ) , and Maruders (96-90).

Windsor defeated the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawks 102-66 to win the consolation championship after having lost to the Georgians, and defeating the University of Winnipeg Wesmen 108-80. WLU gained a berth in the consolation final by defeating 3Brandon Bobcats 92-88, following a 85-72 loss to the Ottawa Gee-Gees. The Lancers scored a three game total of 288 points setting a new team offensive average of 96.0 points per game.

The Georgians, who possess speed, offensively attempted to fast-break the Warriors during the game. The Warrior guards, Bob Smeenk and Phil Schlote defensively, would drop back quickly after directing the ball into the forecourt and this caused considerable problems to the Georgians’ offence.

Defensively, the Georgians attempted to play zone, but with the Warriors shooting from the outside and leading 16-6 early in the game, they were forced to play man to man.

The Warriors could not quickly adapt to the sudden change, and in ensuing confusion the the Georgians momentum picked up, their fast -break improved, and they came back from a 10 point

deficit to tie the game 35-35 at the half. Fortunately, as the confused Warrior offence attempted to adjust to the Georgian pressure, Moser kept Waterloo in the game by scoring 20 points.

During, the third quarter, Georgian defensive pressure continued to stifle the Warrior offence, and once again, only the remarkable shooting of Moser kept the Warriors in the game. The Georgians did not substitute during the game. Lacking sufficient size and height, they could not endure the Warrior stamina, and slowly their pressure began to loosen up. With four minutes left in the match, Trevor Briggs quickly . broke the opposition’s pressure when he unexpectedly pocketed two baskets, blocked two shots, and made a key recovery.

Moser followed with 12 unanswered points, and victory was out of reach for Sir George Williams. the the game Following Georgians’ coach, Mike Hickey, explained that his strategy had been to apply pressure to the Warriors as a team rather than on Moser because “Moser is such a phenomenal player and it would be unrealistic to concentrate all the pressure on him, with so many other good Warriors on the floor .”

Basically he was willing “to sacrifice a 1itt)e pressure on Moser and apply it; to the rest of the he Warrior team.” Unfortunately, did not anticipate Moser’s hot hand.

Coach Don McCrae elucidated his concern over the Georgian defensive pressure, but he was with the Warrior also satisfied floor discipline.

One of, McCrae’s basic philosophies is to move the ball as close as possible to the inside before shooting.,, His offences are created in such a way so as to give each player an opportunity to score. “Despite the fact that Moser scored 52 points, the Warriors played as a team.

Any one of of those men could have scored, with the offences we were running, but it just happened that Mike had the hot hand.”

McCrae expressed satisfaction

#

the r

in the poise and discipline Ed Dragon showed on the floor, and in the playing of rookie guard, Don Larman.

He felt that all coaches entered the Naismith with three objectives in mind; to win the tournament, to improve team playing, and to give all players as much floor experience as possible.

He confessed that unfortunately , as the Warriors moved closer to vie tory, he did not give all his players floor experience.

Selected to the Tournament AllStar team were Zan Pelzer, who scored 65 points for the Georgians, and his team-mate Tom Brethel, who scored 50 points, and showed exceptional floor poise during the tournament.

Repeaters to the team were Chris Coulthard of the Windsor Lancers, UW’s Dragon and Moser. Mos,er was selected as the most valuable player in the tournament.

The Warriors next home game is tonight at 7 pm when ti,ey scrimmage against the Toronto Senior A’s of the Canadian Amateur Basketball Association, a team consisting of past UW players Jaan Laaniste, Paul Bilewicz, and Paul Skowron.

On Sunday, Dee 2 at 8: 15 in the PAC the Warriors meet the London Senior A’s, along with Tom Kieswetter, Al Brown, Bruce Dempster, and Terry McKay. Sunday’s game will be preceeded by a junior varsity game when the Spartans meet an extremely powerful George Brown College at 6: 20 pm. The Warriors’ OUAA league opening game will be at home on Wednesday, Dec. 5 against the Guelph Gryphons. This game which begins at 8: 151pm will be preceeded

by Spartan-Guelph J.V. match starting at 6:15 pm.

Some girls who have a (Phd) , the commonplace North masculine body build do enter American attitude towards women sports and are usually’ quite in sport results from both a lack of successful because of the knowledge and from cultural attitudes towards what constitutes mechanical advantage possessed b‘masculini ty ” and “femininity”. by the masculine structure, they say.

Granted, there are few studiesif any-indicating the physiological capacities and limits pof the woman athlete. Little data is available to refute the antiquated belief that women are weaklings and should be handled with care.

This may in part explain the wide gap in performance between men and women.

Attitudes are slowly changing.

Swimming is one sport where women have been allowed to go “all out” and their performances are quite close1 to the male’s, at least in the shorter races. The gap is quickly being narrowed in track and field as well, although women still have a long way to go in strength and endurance events.

I’m not saying that women’s performances will ever equal those of men, but that the gap could be much narrower.

Since. most sports have been designed for the male physique by in’ corporating factors of strength, speed and endurance, men have an advantage by virtue of a greater strength to body-weight ratio, larger heart and a greater aerobic . and anaerobic capacity., Equality

Performance 1 i - gap or training gap During 1972 the record books in women’s athletics and swimming were rewritten and history was made in gymnastics.

Despite this, there is still a wide performancegap between men and women.

Although it is unlikely that women’s performances will ever equal those of men because of specific physiological differences which give men an advantage in most sports, one wonders whether the ,gap could not be minimized if women were trained with the same / intensity as men.

Dr Ernst Jokl, who has studied the physiological basis of athletic records, states that ‘men are nearing their physiological limits ; women are not even close, We womenhave had a relatively

late start in sport as well as in other fields . of endeavor.

For example, at the 1900 Olympics women were allowed to participate only in tennis. Swimming was added in 1912, and track and field was not introduced until 1928.

In recent yearsthere has been a tremendous improvement in women’s world records as a result of the application of scientific methods to theA training of women athletes.

This has meant hard training and conditioning rather than just natural ability. Yet most North American coaches,still take a cautious attitude towards the woman athlete. Girls are in no way put under stress in training to the same extent as their male counterparts. ’ .

In sports where these physiological indices are not ,factors necessary for athletic success-horseback riding, rifle shooting and archery-women perform as well and sometimes better than men.

Despite the physiological differences between men and women, the two sexes are much more alike than they are different as far as training is. concerned.

The main purpose of training is toimprove the functional capacity of the body specifically for competition.

Although women may start at a lower level than men and end up at a somewhat lower level, improvements in work capacity as a result of training are the same: a lower resting heart rate, less oxygen utilization for the same amount of work, greater oxygen uptake capacity, tolerance of greater oxygen debt and lactic acid, increases in heart volume, hemoglobin, strength, endurance, power and flexibility.

Tougher

Let’s not forget that the basic constitution of woman is strong and she is tougher, if not stronger than man. Doctors have known this for a long time.

She may not be able to handle quite as many training repetitions at the sameintensity as a man, but she is certainly capable of more than she is asked to do now.

Dr Allan Ryan writes: “Those who are interested in teaching athletics for females should probably be less afraid of the stress or strain Lo which they are subjecting the girls or women than s they have been in the past. Women who are normal as far as their health is concerned are capable of undergoing more stress and much more effort in competition than ’ they have been subjected to anywhere until this time.”

Similarly, Dr Katherine Ley (Phd), speaking at the 10th National Conference on Medical Aspects ‘in Sports, stated: “European evidence, plus the limited research that -has been done, indicates that we have. overprotected and underestimated girls and women especially in the areas of sports performance and athletics.”

On August 14, 1973 at 6:30 a.m. our family was sleeping. We were awakened by strangers standing in our bedrooms telling us to get out of bed and get dressed.

No less than 12 R.C.M.P. and O.P.P. officers were in our house because at that time we did not feel the necessity of locking our doors. These officers then started telling us what to doand not to do.

Many of the concerns of the committee are my own, as a student as well as a parent.

I -have experienced numerous frustrations with the day-care facilities on this campus, as have many of my friends.

My-criticism is that my money, which I never have enough of in the first-place (how much can you make in four months?), is to be used for the pleasure of the jocks of the world.

What roused my ire is that I am already paying 17 dollars to supply these people with basketballs and other tools of the trade.

O.K., the students on campus feel physical activity is a necessary department.

Fine, they are free to feel so.

However, I object to doubling this figure.

I also object to the omnipotent. administration making the policy decisions (which they will be doing) with my money.

If I’m going to pay lo-30 dollars extra I want to see it go to a real student union building.

number of my friends have decided against furthering their own education.

For day-care to be so problematic seems unreasonable, especially when universities’ like Western have two universitysponsored and very inexpensive day-care centres.

The section of the report dealing with faculty counselling interested me since I have experienced differential advice concerning advanced studies and career plans from male and female faculty.

One particular male faculty member outrightly entering the discouraged me from academic profession “since women have not been effective teachers”, Women have played an imfaculty members portant role in the shaping of plans for careers and the like graduate studies, among female students, including myself, with.

The that I am acquainted domination by males of most departments is a discouragement to many female students, especially since “sponsorship” is of such importance in admission to graduate school, graduate funding and job contacts.

In view of the findings of the committee and my own experience, it seems evident that female faculty need to be actively sought in far greater numbers.

This, may result in more female students considering and entering graduate studies.

With regard to‘ the other areas investigated by the committee it is apparent that there is an overall discriminatory or at least indifferent attitude on the part of the university in the recruitment of qualified women as graduate students, senior staff, administrators and policy makers.

The data has been carefully collected, and now made public. All too often reports such as that of the- committee are shelved, although everyone agrees on the necessity of taking decisive action.

I hope that does not happenthese changes need to be implemented now.

Areha is needed I feel that this school should have an arena to put us on the map in sports-and also to provide extended student facilities for both participation and spectator sports. If an arena is built here it should be built on open land to the north of Columbia and it should have at least 2,000 seats in order to be worthwhile.

If one is only interested in skating then they can freeze over an area of field such as the village green.

I believe that varsity hockey should be allowed to play its home games in the

arena, but not have an over-pervasive influence so as not to interfere with student participation.

Financing of this building should be done by soliciting as many #donations as possible from citizens of the community, companies, students (by voluntary fees), faculty, and. staff.

With this type of financing, I would entrust adminstration with control of the building.

However, if the financing is done by a l compulsory student fee, I believe a referendum should be taken and that we should only vote to pay the fees if the students (ie. the Federation or some representative body) will be guaranteed control of what would then be our building. h, J. J. Long

Health Services repliesI am writing in response to the anonymous letter in the November 23 issue of feedback in regard to the morningafter-pill at Health Services.

I would like to point out that there is a great misunderstanding here, partly due to.lack of commu nication and partly due to inaccuracy of facts. On the evidence given in her letter, this patient was not given wrong information . When she was given the pills, she was advised that they could make her sick, which is true. In regards to medical history, a few well worded questions are sufficient to screen a person to use this medication.

A full medical history detailing all systems would be quite time consuming and inappropriate in this ca se. It is unfortunate if the author of this letter thought a full medical history was required.

As to the question of how these pills work, we do not know how they work.

Therefore it is impossible to give an explanatory or enlightening answer to this question.

At the same time, there. are no known physical side effects of the medication we are using as the morningafter-pill, at the dose we use it, except for nausea and fatigue.

However, we cannot ignore the psychological dangers of a drug which mi,ght be equated to causing an abortion.

There is not and never has been any “research” being done here on the morning-after-pill.

Gutenberg said that Western is doing some research and would, like other universities to participate in this study.

In the first place this is not research in the sense of experimentation.

This is data collecting on medication which has been used for other purposes (oral contraception) and can be used as a morning-after-pill.

I f and when we decide to participate in Western’s program, every student invol ved will be advised in writing of the total extent of it, and exactly what data we are collecting.

This is not a program to try an experimental drug.

On the first page of our Health Services’ booklet, I have indicated I would like to personally hear from anyone with comments on Health Services.

The only way to correct errors is by pointing them out to me so I can get to the source, to the systim or persons involved.

In this case someone had a complaint which she kept to herself for several months and I still don’t know who was involved.

As I wrote in this column on May 26, 1972, “I can’t do something to someone when I don’t know who or what for, what they did or didn’t do with someone for something.“Ms. Anonymous, I’d like to see you, honest.

30, 1973

The peculiar brutality which the fascist military. junta in Chile has employed to ensure an almost unshakeable control over the Chilean people is unparalled in recent history.

After nearly three months,, the brutality of the new regimes,‘the tortures and executions, the inflation and the book-burning, are still continuing.

The New York Times reported the death toll to be 23,000 in October; French journalists claim that figure , has now nearly doubled.

Initial outrage has been almost overwhelmed by the enormity of the repression.

It’s like a bad dream, sickening, yet unreal, in\ comprehensible to our own lives.

But the reblity of the continuing repression confronts thousands of Chileans and foreigners in UN refugee camps daily. Their friends and families have been imprisoned or executed. They are not safe in Chile, they’ want out. They need the support and help of the rest of the world to ensure the safety of their own lives.

The only above-ground institution left in Chilean society that is working to protect their rights is the Church. Working with various foreign embassies, they have helped about 700 refugees get to \ Sweden, Mexico, Panama, Switzerland and West Germany.

About 300 are in Argentina on transit visas, waiting to find a country that will accept them. About half of these want to come to Canada as do many more in the refugee camps around Santiago.

But the official Canadian attitude presented through Ambassador Andrew Ross, has been, to put it mildly, indifferent.

When a group of church leaders met with Ross a few weeks ago, they gave him a list of 25 people whose lives were in extreme danger and asked him to grant them refuge. The ambassador refused, saying the situation in Chile did not warrant such/ action.

The churchmen gave evidence of hot pursuit, and asked Mr. Ross to take at least 10, even five, of the people named on the list. But still he refused.

So far only four immigration visa applications to Canada have been ap\ proved.

In an interview on November 16, Toronto journalist Ian Adams asked Ross about the violation of human rights in Chik. “Oh,” he replied, “the story has been exaggerated all out of proportion.”

Adams told him about a dossier he had seen, compiled by the church, which documented over 150 cases of torture, and that it was being added to at the rate of 10 to 15 cases a day. He also mentioned that the church conservatively estimated that 3,000 people in the Santiago area’ alone had been tortured.

“You hear some disturbing stories,” Ross replied.

“You have to remember this is South America.”

Other diplomats have not been able to maintain such a nonchalant attitude.

Just last Sunday, Swedish ambassador Harold Edelstam was beaten by Chilean police as he and.Aother Swedish, French and German “In overthrowing Allende government, Chile’s military and police have accepted an exceedingly difficult and probably thankless task. Our regret that extra-constitutional and undemocratic means were adopted must be tempered. . . .”

embassy, had been given permission by the military authorities to enter the clinic, but plainclothes detectives came to arrest her the after her surgery.

Witnesses said the diplomats surrounded the patient’s bed for seven,, hours to keep police from moving her.

Finally, the police moved in, shoving the diplomats away and pinning them to the floor, as they took their . “prisoner” away. .

Even the refugee camps are not safe. Many are overcrowded and large groups have had to be turned away.UN officials admit it is dangerous for them to be on the streets of Santiago, but presently only 10,to 15 a day are able to leave the country.

The UN-sponsored Chilean Refugee Committee estimates there are 13,000 refugees both foreign and Chilean,trying to get out, and the committee has until December 31 to accomplish this task.

As well, the camps are for foreigners only. The only hope for a Chilean who is in danger of arrest for previous political activities is to go through the -formal application of immigration to another country.

If he is already being hunted by the military police, his only chance is’to get into one of the foreign and theoretically neutral embassies.

But too many people have not been able to reach either the camps> or the embassies.

One “extremist shot while escaping” got away and managed to talk to a reporter from the Stockholm daily -c Aftonbladet.

“The Brazilian linotypist Luiz Carlos lived in Chile, accompanied in exile by, his wife, who left Brazil a yirtual epileptic because of the torture she suffered (at the hands of the military dictatorship in Rio de Janeiro).

He lived and worked quietly, while also going to school. He was picked up “as a foreigner” during a police search, along with two other persons.

“Taken to a place near the Resbalon ,Bridge. . . When they got to the river, they made the prisoners get out of

_

the van. Right there they liquidated one of the three.

“Since he was the next, the Brazilian fled toward the river. He was shot three times, once in the forearm, -once in the shoulder, and a bullet grazed his head. He fell into the river and was swept away by the current.

The shooting stopped apparently because they thought he was dead.

“Luiz Carlos was able to reach shore. He went back to a block of apartments, and knocked at several doors.

The Chilean people are terrorized.

Several refused his calls for help. . .

“Nonetheless, someone helped him. And once he was rested and revived, he went to a nearby con-vent.“From there he went to the Swedish embassy, where the Aftonbladet correspondent interviewed him.

Adam Garret-Schesh and his wife were arrested after the coup. They had been in Chile for two years preparing their dissertations on the development of Allende’s Unidad Popular Party. The following comes from an interview they had with the Last Post after having been held for a week in the National Stadium.

“The shootings and the beating were a very direct first-hand experience for us because of where we were placed. For most of the week we were held in a large hallway near the exit to the playing field. We were facing four or five cells on our side, plus the interrogation rooms. So in fact we watched the two lines being made up-one of which got to. be called the ‘life’ line and the other the ‘death’ line. .

“You could see clearly the whole pattern of the lines, a pattern each time the executions took place. In addition, because of where we were, under where the bleachers meet the ground, we watched the prisoners being beaten in front of us -we were 50 yards from the entrance to the playing field.

“In order to go to the bathroom we had to go through the gym locker rooms which became the cells, and there we were able to talk to people. Over the course of the week we got to most of the detention cells. So we knew who was in them, and who was no longer there.

‘We saw the sequence that preceded the executions several times. There was no mistaking it.

“Every time a group of people of about ten to twenty were prepared for the firing squad, they were prepared

in a special way, and they went through a special registration desk. You could tell from the way that the line-up was guarded that something serious was going to happen.

“Every -single time -and only when this line was being led out of into the stadium, they would turn on the exhaust fans in the locker rooms, so the prisoners couldn’t hear. But we were out in the hall, a very large hall with verywide doors leading out into the field. So we could hear a lot more.

“Every time the line was led out, the exhaust fans turned on, there would be every single time a prolonged burst of about a minute or so of automatic, weapons fire.

“At one point my wife was almost next to the door itself, like about five yards away, she happened to glance around (she wasn’t supposed to be looking, the guard told her not to look) and she caught this incident: A young student was brought out with his hands behind his back, and a guard puts a cigarette in

’ el. pueblo unido Jamais sera vencldo- Senora Hortensia Allende, wife of the late Chilean president, came to Canada this week to gather support for the plight of refugees in her country, and to testify before the House of Commons’ Foreign Relations Committee in an effort to persuade our government to open its doors ta the thousands of people trying to get out of Chile.

Speaking to a crowd of 2,000 in Toronto Tuesday night, she called on Canadians to pressure the federal government to change its policy of quiet indifference to the refugee situation.

Canada only allows immigration from Chile through standard procedures: applying for landed immigrant status which is based on skill&d training and job opportunities in Canada. Since the coup on September 11 the Canadian government -has not granted political asylum to Chilean refugees.

Along with Senora Allende at U of T’s Convocation Hall were NDP MP John Harney , David Archer-president of OFL, Jesuit priest Richa?d Roach, Margaret Papandreau -from the Pan Hellenic League, and Toronto alderman Dan ,Heap. As was pointed out by one of the speakers, the audience largely consisted of the “already converted”, people aware of the/human injustices and atrocities occuring iri Chile.

Coming onto the stage, Senora AlIende and the other speakers were greeted with a standing ovation.

Chairperson John Harney opened the evening _ by reading various messages of solidarity.

A petition from Canadians living ic Chile demanded immediate suspension and recall of Andrew Ross, Canadian ambassador to Chile, and the most urgently required aid of our embassy and country.

A cable from UN refugee camps in Santiago described the plight of the junta’s victims: “As foreigners unable to return to our country we find oursklves under the of origin, protection of the United Nations, but for one and K-half months for lack of countries that will open their doors to us. Under the condition of state of war as the president of the junta defines it, we consider the security provisions under which we exist precarious and full of serious dangers.

The number of people in refugee centres is increasing.

The evacuation from these centres is going ahead at a minimal rate and there are thousands waiting for spaces in order to enter places of refuge.”

The sponsor of the final telegram, a high ranking Church official in Chile, wished to remain anonymous for his own safety. While pleading that the Canadian embassy in Santiago offer diplomatic protection to the persecuted, he told of the persecutions and the forms in which they have been administered.

“Those who are suspected of leftist syinpathies are arrested and handed over to the largest football stadium in the country... .the interrogtitory methods include kicking and beating, flesh wounds from bayonets, and the, use of electric currents on sensitive parts of the body .“.

Professor Richard Roach of St. Regis College, returning shaken and chxnged by his experiences at the hands of the junta, had gone to aid his Jesuit brothers.

His main concern rested with the poor, who had been main suppoi-ters of Allende’s government, and who now suffer most desperately.

Margaret Papandreau likened the rightist takeover to that which occurred in Greece six years ago when her father-in-lath Premier Papandreau was overthrow‘n by a right wing coup. “The parallel is not accidental.

In both cases and in many others &he thread running through the government is’ the same; but it is not a thread-it is a rope and the hangmen live in Washington.”

Speaking with exuberance and preciseness she said t&at the United

:

States government, representing big business self-interests, allowed neither the desires nor the will of the people to step in its way. But with confidence she assured that “there is one thing that cannot be -smashed by guns or tanks or bought with money and that is the soul of the people.”

The Ontario Federation of Labour presented a resolution condemning the government of Canada for its indecent haste in recognizing In a hurried platform the military junta. manner David Archer demanded the recall of Andrew Ross along with the opening of the Canadian embassy as an asylum for political refugees.

Hortensia Allende ca_me to the platform’ amidst an emotional applause and another standing ovation. She has suffered not only as a widow of an impo.rtant political leader but also as a Chilean estranged from and suffering the tragedy of her nation.

preJ the

The circumstances by which the coup came into being were repeated: the boycotting of copper mines by the United States, refusal of loans to Chile from the World Bank, support and agitation of right wing opposition by the United States, traiqing of Chilean police and military by forces external to the country, manipulation of the media to organize ,a campaign against the workers.

The real victims of these and the junta’s actions are the poor working classes and peasants who are unable to buy even the barest necessities due to unprecedented inflation.

As well the demotiratically based unions and press have been silenced by terror and ugly force, while the military searches out all those dangerous to its regime and the radio daily lists names of people being sought.

The demand must be made by Canadians on the ,Trudeau government to lessen the plight of Chilean refugees.

In order to obtain immigration entrance and work in other countries the refugees need passports and identification papers, their own having been confiscated by the military.

Often urirecognized is the barrier of -silence maintained among Chileans; with government control of the press Chileans know nothing of the anti-imperialist solidarity movements around the world, some pressing to at least relieve their predicament.

Senora Allende asked that i&ernational observers be sent to Chile to restructure the flow of information both in and out of the c6untry.

She also seeks our support through all forms of media in denouncing the violation of human rights iti Chile. She asks for a-boycott of the junta: that we not receive political missions from the military government which is simply trying to justify its dictatorship and the present repression.

Loans and armaments should be denied the junta and Canadian workers should refuse to unload shipsfrom Chile.

Hortensia Allende is adamant that Salvador Allende did not fail. ‘ ‘ Perhaps eve@ Chilean did not have a car in his garage 6r a colour television, some of them did not have much to eat or much to spend, but President Salvadore Allende gave them something that they will never get from the military dictatorship.

He . gave them an opportunity to participate in the decisions that affect their own lives and their hope for a democratic system.” phbtos

Yet just this week the director of the Chilean embassy in Canada, Raul Schmidt, was here in Kitchener claiming, on behalf of his government, that the “official” death toll was only 532 people, including 40 army officers, and that 89 were wounded.

But perhaps that’s an integral part of the mystique of Chile’s “benevolent” fascism.

Other facts about present conditions in Chile have come to light which the junta has not been able to deny quite so easily. Prices on necessities have been raised from 200 to 1800 percent for bread, sugar, oil, tea, shoes, clothes and 70 other items. Sugar has gone up 500 percent and bread and milk are four times as expensive as before the coup. The junta has eliminated the popular program initiated

by Allende of providing half a litre of milk free to all children.

Tea, a heavily consumed drink in Chile, has increased in price from 16 to over 300 escudos per kilo. These are the greatest price increases in Chilean history.

At the same time, the junta cancelled a wage increase scheduled

by Allende for October 1,

1 What can be done I On several notable occasions the Canadian government has responded to cases of political and civil repression in other countries with marked flexibility, generosity and promptness.

Such efforts to save and shelter refugees were manifested in the cases of Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968 and Uganda in 1972.

With the Hungarian situation, the Prime Minister made available $1 million to assist organizations helping refugees.

All available Canadian Pacific and TCA planes were put at ‘the disposal of the flights for refugees.

A ship with space for 300-400 passengers was also made available for Hungarians.

The m’inister of immigration at the time took bold moves to aid the displaced.

The normal administrative red tape was thrown aside. The minister himself went to Vienna to look to the With most the ear-e of the refugees.

Hungarians in their flight having little more than the clothing on their back the government assumed responsibility for the cost of the refugees’ transportation.

Thousands of visas were issued. ’ Again in the case. of Czechoslovakia, the federal -government exercised initiative to Supplementary personnel expedite matters. were dispatched to Prague and Belgrade.

The wanton cruelty, arrogant barbarity, and inhumane exercise of power by the junta in the lives of multitudes in that ’ Chile jeopardizes country.

To this point our government has failed to take up the bold example of various western European nations in assisting these people.

We can help. If you are concerned about these families and individuals you can: ’ @write to your local Member of Parliament: Keith Hymmen for Kitchener, Max Saltsman for Waterloo; address it to the House of Commons, Ottawa (no postage required); @send donations to Canadian Fund for Refugees from Chile, c/o Canadian Council of Churches, 40 St. Clair Ave. E., Toronto; ofor more information write Chile-Canada Solidarity, Box 6300, Station A, Toronto 1, telephone 961-3103. @or contact the Federation of Students.

wages are being paid weeks late and promised bonuses have not materialized.

A massive currency devaluation announced recently by .-the junta should send prices even higher.

Meanwhile, a rigid labour discipline has been imposed on workers (who by the way are no longer to be referred to as workers, but as “manual employees”).

Organizing strikes or engaging in other labour movement activities have become grounds -for immediate firing and the work week has been increased to 48 hourswith no pay for the last four hours.

by military officers. Books are burned in public in an effort to “cleanse” the minds of Chilean youth.

All political parties have been “indefinitely recessed”.

Bounties of 2500 dollars are offered to informers who turn in leftist activists.

The extent of the repression is so vast that even many initial supporters of the coup both inside Chile and abroad are expressing doubts.

On November, 15, our own federal cabinet, upset by the increasing evidence that what it hears from its “intelligence” in Santiago is not an accurate description of the true situation in Chile, called for a complete review of Canadian policy toward Chile. We can only hope that review . comes out soon enough for the thousands of refugees still waiting to get out.

During his visit to Chile this month, Ian Adams met with a Catholic priest who had a slip of paper on which was written the names of 48 hunted men and women who had come to him that day, seeking a place to hide or a way to get out of the country.

The priest had seen many each day since the junta seized power.

“Why?” the priest demanded.

“Why is your Canadian ambassador so hard? Why does your government refuse to take our people?”

When Adams could not answer, the priest told him, “Listen, take a message back to your country.

It’s very simple. For God’s sake help us, help us in this desperate human situation.” n

Perhaps he is right. And it is, of course, entirely ’ unfair to coinpare our local forces with what you can hear on records.

But what else is there to do? Anyway, here goes.

First, t-he chorus.

It made its way through without major breakdown, itself an accomplishment with so terrifying a work. Its singing is far, far, short of such first-rate groups as the Torontd Festival ‘Singers or Mendelssohn Choir: shortbreathed phraging, for instance,, plagued the males throughout.

Yet they were frequently surprisingly satisfying, rising . to a certain height in the final Dona Pacem, for instance.

Once upon a t&e there lived, in the minds of some, a fine place, full of peace and love, freedom and happiness.

It was called Nutopia.

Fortunately, it seems to exist only in the mind of John Lennon. Unfortunately, he has seen fit to celebrate-one more time-the i$eals of this utopia which bridges boundaries and language.

Lennon’s latest musical effort is Mind Games (Capitol SW-3414) and like his previous albums is a combination of peace and love sentiments and expressions of undying love to Yoko Ono. Now, while no one can really be against sat -and we all like apple pie too right? - Lennon can be criticized for putting it forth in the form of such boring drivel.

Musically, most of the album is heavy and,droning with no imaginative backing.’

One cut, “I know (I know)” is the ‘least . cosmic and message-laden and also has some good vocal harmony and instrumental work. Maybe there is a_lesson to that; or as the cynical hollywood producer used to say, “If you’ve got a message, son, send it Western Union.”

Obvious social comment cannot be and should not be separate from music; songs have always been a form’ t6 convey discontent, and criticism of the status quo. But the level .at which Lennon ap. proaches the matter is about the same as Peter Pan-believe and it shall be.

It is unfortuante that the instrumental work on the album is so poor; one is then forced to pay attention to the lyrics and the message.

The title song essentially says it all:

from page 17 Voices Raise”, said Handel, ‘and they did which is O.K. . Bach’s Cantata “ Schwingt Freudig Euch Empor” is another matter.

Here all of the soloists were in one way or another unequal to their parts. Bach’s cantatas, despite their immense numbers, just aren’t run-of-the-mill pieces. They require subtlety, insight, and technique, plus at least good vocal equipment; in the present performances, one or another of these was in too short supply to do. The K-W orchestra again supplied accompaniment, though not so credited in the program.

The oboists, with many of those wonderful Bach obbligatti, acquitted themselves pretty well, considering.

Strings, while a bit better than the night before, weren’t good enough. Especially, I found the cello, with so many important supporting parts, annoying: he seems not able to play really on pitch for long. The choir sounded out of sorts on the first chorus, and in some of the major chorales apparently unable to get together on matters of pitch. Since it is also about three times too big for this kind of part, and just has the wrong sort of sound altogether, and Mr. Dyck, I’d say, not v%ry sympathetic to this kind of music by temperament, the performance as a whole was not very satisfying.

Better luck next time, I’m sure.

Closing note: tonight and tomorrow, your own U of W choir takes on Bach’s Magnificat in the Humanities Theatre.

Yours truly will be in the bass section, and I don’t promise a thing; but by all means, give it a try. We learn by doing and intrinsically more satisfying music simply doesn’t exist.

-jan narveson

,Spirit of

-

Cedric Smith and Milton Acorn have moved some amount forward in their political expression/performance over the last year, but they still maintain a tense distance between their particular stage styles. Blissfully, the Canadian Liberation Movement is blinded in the light of antiimperialist fervour to such minor technical problems.

Reviving last year’s “Revive the Spirit of ‘37” (the rebellion spirit, not the depression or pre-war spirit) is redundant not only in concept but also in mistakes.

If Cedric and Milton b/w .CLM Nationalism didn’t send the multitudes into the streets last year, the same thing didn’t stand a chance of working this year.

It’s very much a shame that the two performers’ skills are thus wasted.

Unfortunately, . the style of. the exprofessional stage-media actor is presently incompatible to the style of the ex-carpenter print-media poet. Cedric has the stage presence abilties; Milton, flatly, has not. Cedric instills energies into a chairbound audience w’ith his bright clear, mimicry; Milton drains the same audience by means of an unclear voice and a motionless, sermon-like recital. The latter initially appeared on stage as a priest and did inspire some audience response with his first few minutes of satire; but, to our chagrin, he never fully shook the role.

There is a very obvious mutual respect between the two artists.

A great deal of, Cedric’s content was poetry written by Milton, and .Milton attempted to accomodate himself to Cedric’s style by responding to ,his jokes, \ and never daring

to interrupt.

Yet at the same time there were contradictions of style that made the overall performance very rough. Milton’s spontaneity.--that is, his unwritten contributions-was slow and he does not have the flexibility of voice that complemented for Cedric’s versatility.

And Cedric would not or could not engage in much of a dialogue or interaction with Milton.

It was either that the spotlight was on Cedric (most of the time, as the audience preferred) or on Milton-only once can I remember the light equally illumination the two. Coincidentally, or, maybe, notso-coincidentally, the lights were operated

by Perth County Conspiracy members (Cedric’s colleagues).

None of this should detract from the merits of each artist in his own particular field. Milton’s literary contributions tend to make generally accepted pieces of literature seem like irrelevant fantasies.

For example, about the strikes in Sept Iles: The workers there said “en grave” Which in Canada I suppose means “On Strike” But I suspect That in Quebec It would more correctly read “No Fooling Around!”

The problem is, and was last year too, that it’s very hard to be one of twohundred-and-some people crowded into uncomfortable seats in an auditorium oppressively reminiscent of high school (no wonder, it was at the Ontario College of Education) and at the same time try to hear Milton’s weak voice as he reads from a podium on stage. Acorn hasn’t yet been able to ,make the transference from written communication-a situation which we can personally experience at our own time and in our own space-to the mass-media entertainment orientation of the CLM’s fund-raiser.

Cedric, on the other hand, has dealt with this medium hundreds of times before, and can handle it perfectly well by himself.

But I sensed that he was often caught between his respect for Milton and his desire to keep the show moving.

He has drawn upon what to many other performers turn out to be alienating skills: voice and acting abilities that often lead to obscuring the reality of situations; or an irreverent satire that can so easily lead to ignoring the seriousness of a problem.

Cedric however has generally transcended these traps.

Probably because he comes into contact with the people of Canada far more often than‘professional entertainers his voice and acting is representative of these people not only in their style but also in the content of their lives: country folks and their grass-roots simplicity which brings them into contradiction with the commodity orientation of the cityfolks; Maritime people and their alienation from Southern Ontario.

It is with these points and similarities in most of the rest of Cedric’s humor that the greatest irony of the evening’s presentation existed. The CLM presents a rather vacuous notion of Canadian nationalism, excluding Quebec, of course, that makes many assumptions about this country’s homogeneity.

Cedric, consciously or unconsciously, points out the contradiction of regional disparity, at least on the personal level if not on the economic.

The CLM’s anti-imperialism assum.es a context of Southern Ontario nationalism which is itself exploitative of the rest of Canada. Cedric sees the bonds of nationalism as much more tenuous. He talks about the trans-Canada highway: “the big, blac%ZTastic-band that holds it all together.”

Very little of the evening’s content actually expressed a clear - criticism of imperialism.

In fact, I can’t even recall a delineation of who the imperialists are and how precisely, they are exploitative.

Most of the overtly political sentiment was aroused by a romantic appeal to an historical event: Upper and Lower Canadian nationalists revolting against the British in 1837: a situation which doesn’t too accurately parallel today’s intense cultural and economic domination of Canada (and most of the world) by the U .S. and its multi-national off-spring.

Milton didn’t intend it, but perhaps his most amusing line of the evening -was an attempt to tie this nationalist history together.

He suggested that the 1837 Rebellion was truly a proletarian uprising (long before industrialization in Canada got properly underway) and that its rebels were the first to put forth the idea of “permanent revolution”at best, it’s a great try at out-opportunizing the Trotskyists with the use of their own theories.

Painters.....

Painters in a New Land, Michael Bell, McClelland & Stewart, 1973, $22.50; 224 pages This is a large, expensive glossy, eyecatching, coffee-table book.

It is worth every cent of the investment.

Michael Bell, “who has contributed numerous articles to magazines in Canada, particularly Canadian Collector; put together a number of catalogues pertaining to Archives of Canada displays: been Curator. of Paintings, Drawing and Prints for the Public Archives of Canada from 1968-73; is now the Director of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston.

He knows what he is about.

This book is a visual odyssey through early Canada. It is a collection of over 200 watercolours, sketches and oils along with descriptions from literature, diaries and letters of the day. It actually manages to . carry the reader back into the landscape, literary, geographical, artistic and Cultural of Canada in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

All of the watercolours and drawings illustrating this book, (which is a must for literature and art students I should think), are all to be found in the collection of documentary art in the Public Archives of Canada-one of the least known, but best collections of its type in Canada: “Until recently, certain parts of our cultural heritage have been known only to a small group of historians and private collectors.

One of the most exciting of these areas is the chronicle of eighteenth and nineteenth century Canada that exists in the form of water-colours and drawings.

This significant and charming collection forms a cohesive unit that links an artistic phenomenon with the events and social climate of the period. Although these pictures have always been of interest to the ‘sensitive private collector, they are now being recognized as a vital part of our national heritage which must be preserved and made available to a-l Canadians.

We owe a great debt to the early collectors.

They saw the importance of these early records of life in early Canada, and because of their efforts, we are better able to understand the events and surroundings that led up to and formed the Canadian experience .” (From the text.)

The geographical presentation, which progresses from east to west, unifies in the book the elements which make up this country.

The selection includes works by artists ranging from lady amateurs who were taken with the flora to military officers to familiar professionals such as William Armstrong and Lucius O’Brien.

We have the early settlements in Newfound-land, and maritime l’Acadie, the farms and villages of Quebec, the garrison towns of Upper Canada, the vast unsettled West, and the isolated Britishcolony on the Pacific.

The book includes an index of artists with biographical notes, a general index and a very complete bibliography.

-“Have you ever felt helpless with your feet in the stirrups, or hopeless on a psychiatrist’s couch? Vaginal Politics written

by Ellen Frankfort, is a book explaining the dynamics between a woman, her body, and her doctor .”

Most women have been raised with the belief that the only people who are to examine her vaginal area are her lover/husband and her doctor. If an infection develops in that area, she must wait until an extreme symptom shows up. A person can check for inflamation of the throat, so why can’t a woman check for inflamation of the uterus?

This problem is not going unsolved.

The Los A’ngeles selfhelp clinic- is attempting to teach women to examine themselves with a plastic speculum so that they can observe changes ocl curing within their body.

TUESDAY Phantom Tollbooth will be put on in the Humanities Theatre at four pm. A phantasy production for children and adults too. Wednesday and Thursday -as well.

noting these changes, women are able’ to check for themselves, for infections before they become The ‘so-called’ danger serious. signals warned about are usually associated with the late stages of infection.

Infections are not the only thing that a homan should be aware of. Another use of the self examination is .to check signs of pregnancy.

When a woman is pregnant the cervix becomes noticeably red in colour.

This “firegnaney test” is particularly a help to- those- women who intend to have abortions.

This practise of self-examination is not meant to deny the purpose of a doctor. It is simply meant to give a woman an idea of what is happening in her body so that she can time her visits with the doctor when they are most effective-so that the ailmefit may be caught before it gets too serious, and so that she may have an idea of what is wrong.

The self-help ’ clinic also extraction” examines a “period device which pumps the material out of the uterus at once, thus ending the woman’s “period” in minutes.

This device is also effective for self-abortions, .- but has not had much testing to do with the effects iof this use. , While the first part of Vaginal Politics deals positively with how a* woman can be able to understand a part of her body not usually dealt with, in the second part of h&r book, Frankfort criticizes the members of the medical profession, who at times take advantage of the knowledge they’ have.

For instance some doctors have a habit of performing hysterectomies on a woman rather than vaginal surgery.

Then there is the small-town praticioner who, anyone might assume, knows every one of his patients inside out and in whom his patients feel they can confide.

If people have py pioblems they should go to their fampy doctor, for he is the one who can help‘+ them-that is if they are under 12 years old.

Incident; concerning unusual sexual problems, such as unwanted pregnancies or homosexuality, cannot be efe fectively dealt with by the family doctor.

There is one case mentioned in the book where a woman, complaining of a vaginal irritation was asked about her sexual practices and replied that she was a lesbian. The doctor, not being well-informed in the wqys of homosexuality suggested that she not partake of intercourse for at least two weeks. To this she asked if petting or cunnilingus would be permitted.

The doctor was left speechless.

Most doctors, general or specialized, do not conceive of possible ailments in homosexuals or if there are infections which are unique to those people.

21

Abortion is one of the issues found most often in Frankfort’s book. After the abortion law in , New York w&s changed, atclinic 1 was set up in the tenth floor of one of New York’s most modern and exclusive office buildings.

The organizer’s preparatory time waS spent deciding what colour to paint the walls, which “big name” physicians to hire, and what type of intercom system to use rather than undertaking a study of the best methods of the operation.

Both general and local 6 anaesthetic were offered to women. They had no idea of the effects of either-so were asked if they liked pain or not-nothing more than that.

General anaesthetic can cause women to lose more blood, which gives rise to -the possibility of complications.

Other abortion clinics set up are often equally ineffective.

They are usually understaffed, underequipped, expensive and often located in a hospital maternity ward. For a woman to wake up after stillbirth from a saline abortion and hear ‘the souri’d of crying infants from the nearby nursery, may be looked upon as sheer torture.

Frankfort criticizes the medical profession andsees it as being dominated by males.

Although it can be understood that the percentage of male doctors is higher than that of Jr female doctors, she should have made it clear whether she_ was critical of doctors in general, or just of male doctors.

She does mention nurses in their subservient role, - a situation to be found in any professionbut does not speak of the female doctor and her relationship with hey patients.

It would be interesting to discover the nature of the female doctor’s malpractices if any.

She does not seem overly . objective in her criticisms in the two parts of her book. Because she approved of the self-clinic’s work, she took o/n a completely positive viewpoint of them in her criticism.

It was quite obvious that she had a distaste for doctors (male) and showe,d only a negative perspective of them.

For example she did not think twice about criticising the I doctor’s use of general anaesthetic, of which the effects’ are not serious while she does not criticize the use of the “period extractor” which, as yet untested, could have serious effects with hormonal imbalances.

Many women could benefit from the idea and uses of a personal s‘pecultim self examination-if not to be able to recognize changes and /or possible infections in their bodies-but to bridge the gap between a woman and that “untouchable” part of her body.

Federation Flicks Frenzy-this is Hitchcock’s latest movie, and doesn’t come close to his older, classic films. But it’s also not as disastrously . bad as some of his recent work, like Topaz or -Torn Curtain.

Frenzy scores as a well-done not-so-suspenseful exploration of a killer and the men who hunt him. There are a few scenes of the old Hitchcock brilliance.

The East Movie-Dennis Hopper’s tribute to film-making, shot on location in South America.

Almost as much was written about the making of the movie as the movie itself; it has been called both brilliant and banal, and there’s only one way for you to find out for yourself.

Makes a good dabble-feature.

Beer designed a system for the ’ Allende government that he said could change the - traditional hierarchies and feed information out to the factories, while it collected basic indicators for higher level organisations-without infringing the automony or freedom of the inHis critics however were dividual enterprises. not sure (New Scientist, ~0157, p 347, 363, 449).

In addition to providing basic indicators required by the industry (eg textiles), the industry group (eg consumer industry), and the national planners, Beer said his system was being used by some factories to build models for themselves, using their own indicators to create pictures of their situations.

‘We developed certain methods of description that apply to all systems,” Stafford Beer told his OR colleagues.

Rather than calling it a “control” system he- repeatedly used the word “autonomy”.

“Autonomy’ implies being in( control or out -of -control, not me-controllingyou,” he explained.

“My inspiration for cybe’metics comes from neurophysiology.

If I ‘were decentralised or centralised, I couldn’t function.

My systems are not decentralised or centralised but autonomous. . Allende wanted his Marxist state this way. He was a physician; he knew about physical autonomy.”

On a shoestring budget, the models were designed and built in 18 months, and the

workers control over it. “My last meeting with Salvador Allende was on the 26 July,?’

Beer recalled. “I explained to him my problems withir frorr this political system.

I needed a directive him regarding how far the worker control was tc go. He looked at me and said: “El Maximo.‘.’

What would have happened if a more autocratic, less participative group (like tht junta) had taken over after all the factories had their control rooms and models up and running?

“We spent night after night discussing thi: point,” Beer said. “We came to the conclusior 1 that despotic governments already have enougl instruments, so the addition of this one irrelevant.

They would be more likely tc sabotage this system than use it. It has tot many access points. There’s i;o sense in carryin{ it on if you don’t value autonomy and openness.’

Beer ascribed Allende’s downfall to a corn bination of an internal subsystem (the well-to-d1 who controlled the’country’s distribution), ant forces from the world system of which Chile wa only a subsystem (the flow of dollars and arm from outside). ‘ ‘Allende was an idealist,” he said “He really believed that when he talked to th UN they would do something about the externa abuses.”

Finally a man from the packed lecture hall a t LSE asked: “But surely, Stafford, you were inn an experimental situation?”

“All situations ar e. experimental ,” the Cybernetician answered I-* 1 r- _ nrmly.

T hree rather impressive records hi sve been set in the world of science re !cently , although none of them is lil kely to win recognition in Guinncess. These records are:

In the microcosm: a new particle which is by far h;as been discovered yet to be identifiedtl le largest dubbed the “mandela”, tc ?ntatively it was found in cosmic rays using a fc )ur-meter-square detector at 14[averah Park near Harrogate, E ,ngland. The research team, from tl le University of Leeds, has noted .t7 NO hundred instances of the new P’article in three years of watching, nd report that its mass is about 3rty times that of a proton. It has b leen speculated that tile new P Iarticle may be the long-awaited uarkthe theoretically postulated P Iarticle out of which all the known S ubatomic particles of physics are upposed to be built. Other sources %lelieve that it may be the in boson, the par. tl ermediate ‘vector t icle that is theoretically needed as a of the forces of the weak C arrier S ubgtomic interaction.

It has not whether the Y et ‘been determined In nandela carries an electrical charge, In the macrocosm: E. Margaret E lurbidge, professor of astronomy at t !he University of California at San liego and a team of researchers

have announced the discovery of the farthest away thing in the universe - quasar OQ172.

The quasar has a red shift of 3.53, beating out by a significant margin quasar OH471, which has a red shift of 3.40. What is unknown is the actual distance of the quasar, since any estimate of this distance is intrinsically dependent on the model of the universe being used-there remains some little contention as to which of the models so far devised is accurate, if any.

In the world of nature: paleontologists Richard Estes and Llewellyn Price have discovered in Brazil the earliest fossil of the iguana family. The partial skeleton was found near Pieropolis, Brazil, in rocks more than sixty-five million years old. The specimen, which is the “first Mesozoic record, of the Iguanidae and the earliest record of the family,” has been. named Pristiguana brasielensis.

Its discovery and other evidence previously provided

by Estes leads the researchers to conclude, contrary to commonly held belief, that the iguanids are probably of southern continental origin, and must have reached Madagascar by dispersal through Africa, which did not separate from South America until the mid-Cretaceou:. n ,

The committee agrees with two con-. lusions of. the action group report, written by Shelagh’Day , a former arts one nstructor; sex typed female job ategories have lower salaries within the niversity than sex-typed male categories .nd in proportion to their number, w-omen few supervisory and adccupy / ninistrative positions.

The committee found “the system used py the university for assigning pay scales o certain job categories is consistent with ommunity practices” (which the report ays discriminate against women).

In other words, UBC job policy is \ biased.

Yet the report appears to contradict tself when, in a section entitled “over“that the University of riew ’ ’ , it explains 3ritish Columbia does not discriminate in ny policies which it has articulated but hat its practises... are at times liscriminatory to women.”

The committee was formed January 30 by administration president Walter Gage Lfter the action group report charged vomen occupy lower job ranks and are laid less than men at UBC. The adninistration appears to have accepted hem someday.

1“The ecommendation will be implemented vhen the university has the financial sompetence to do so,” Gage said in a Irepared statement but he did not blaborate.

On their view of discrimination and jobs he report says, “since the best paying ohs tend to be stereotyped male, women nust challenge these assumptions and the university must make clear in its adrertising that all jobs are open to both nen and women.”

Among the comnittee’s recommendations are: 1 the university play a leadership role in #he community to campaign against liscrimination and to work actively to nsure policies and practise at UBC erase my hint of discriminatory practices which exist in society at large; 1, in all sections of the university comnunity men and women have equal opjortunities for employment and adfancement; ) an -open policy be adopted by the iniversity on matters jloyment and their welfare; ) an ombudsman be established to resolve Trievances;

fairer wage scales with regard to mental briefs (“its function was not to include the and physical effort, and clerical as settling of individual grievances”) but compared with technical skills: instead invited so called “representative individuals” to the in camera meetings. l the university recognize the need for.

A confidential memo was sent to all child care facilities and work in COdepartment heads of non academic staff in operation with the government to enthem to provide necessary an effort to determine the views of those courage facilities for families living and working responsible for hiring at UBC. close to UBC; Of the 60 who returned questionnaires, l the university urge the provincial 42 percent said they preferred women for and clerical government to modify the Factories Act , certain jobs such as secretarial (which outlines which jobs women can’t work because little training was necessary have because of so-called female physical and “Repetitious work is more suitable for inferiority) to prevent employers from -women.”

Another reason was, higher being forced to discriminate against salaries meant men would apply. ret most heads stated, according to the report, women.

Clearing 1

myths TORONTO (CUP)-One of the few clea in the law relating to changes o name is that there is no obligation whatsoever upon a married woman tc adopt her husband’s name upon marriage The change of name is merely a socia custom.

The common law permitted ; woman to retain her maiden name and th Change of Name Act does not impose th husband’s surname upon a wife althougl it expressly ,permits her to adopt it, if sh desires to do so, without using any of th formal provisions of the Act. Thus publi or private bodies are entirely in the wrong when they insist on the use of a husband’ surname by women who have neve adopted it as their own.

It would seem likely that a wife wh found herself confronted with publi officials who take such an ilI-foundel attitude would be able to apply to th courts for an order to compel the official to accept or issue documents bearing he . own name. ’ things

Where problems may arise is when woman has adopted her husband’s SUI name at the outset of marriage an! subsequently desires to revert to her o.w name. Lawyers who have expertise in thi area are inclined to believe that th Change of Name Act, despite certai ambiguities, has not altered the comma law rule that a person may adopt an name that he or she chooses, without th use of any formal procedure, as long as th change is not designed to defraud othera Thus a woman should be able to revert t her maiden name informally, as long a the people with whom she has to dea such as employers or creditors ar prepared to make a formal change.

However, when a person refuses t make the necessary alterations i documents, since the Change of Name AC contains a provision which can be used t compel such alterations a successfl

Unfortunately, the act requires that married person who brings a change c name application must also apply for change in- the name of his or, her spo_usc unless the parties have been living apal for five years, and the consent of the otti partner must be obtained before a form; alteration of names can take place. Sine very few husbands are likely to E . prepared to adopt their wife’s maide name, this provision is sufficient t deprive most married women of a remed under the Change of Name Act. , A paper on the Change of Name Act ha been submitted to the Ontario La1 Reform Commission.

While it deals with number of other points, the papers mai thrust is to suggest an amendment in th act to permit one spouse to apply for change in his or her name w&hoc requiring the other partner to make a identical change unless this is desired.

People who are interested in this are might therefore consider expressing the views or describing any adverse el periences they have had to the Ontari .Law Reform Commission, I8 King Stret E. 16th floor, Toronto.

University of Alberta economists Frank Roseman and Bruce Wilkinson Concern o&r energy issues is a fairly state directly that the “main benefactors recent phenomenon; it results from the approach, so far, are the much-publicized American energy ’ of the Albertan large foreign-owned oil companies, not ‘shortage’ and the consequent U.S. lust the people of Alberta, and certainly not for Canadian energy resources. the people in the rest of Canada.” ’ Lust is perhaps a misleading term; the An increase in the price of Alberta American drive is more than balanced by petroleum would, in fact, allow Alberta the eagerness of several provincial to collect only 11 percent of the increase, governmentsnotably Quebec and with the remainder going to the oil Manitoba-to use American markets as companies, 90 percent of which are justification for the ravaging of delicate foreign controlled.

Ontario consumers environments in apparent secrecy from are being forced to pay an increase on local and native peoples.

Alberta natural gas, and to watch the The major beneficiaries are the American states who raise their level of industrialization and consumption while from power restricting pollution developments to their source in Canada.

Certainly the “sellout” of the James Basin and ‘Churchill River for huge hydro projects has received wider publication than our minor contributions to the American cause, but eventual construction of nuclear power plants and tidal dams as proposed by the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick governments will dwarf the environmental dangers of the hydro projects.

The role of the federal government in energy matters is indirect approval of provincial action through an anemic passivity.

Federal policythe term ‘policy’ is used very lightly-has been to offer a little bit for everybody in order to keep everyone happy. To be more accurate, it . amounts to a little bit for environmentalists and a whole lot for development interests.

For example, it has been pointed out

by Dalhousie University law professor Ian McDougall that the federal government contributed $1 million toward impact studies on the Churchill River project, after supplying $150 million for construction of transmission cables- to the U.S. The result of the impact study will be effectively ignored.

The federal government’s ‘safe’ habit of supporting large provincial projects for energy exports to American markets is only self-defeating/ when different provinces conflict over the handling of any one energy issue. The sole exemplary instance is the obvious displeasure of the province of Ontario over Alberta’s raising of well head petroleum prices to

lion’s share of the increase go into the pockets of American oil magnates.

Ironically, the situation arises largely because of the failure of the federal National Energy Board to accurately assess the growing domestic demand for natural gas. Despite the obvious need for action from the federal level, that government has /a<bandoned the provinces to settle their own dispute.

This remarkable absence of federal leadership may come to have severe and disastrous consequences in the Maritime region.

The immediate availability of New England energy markets and the slowmotion reactions of the senior governments has created a situation where enterprising American developers find the way open for energy projects unacceptable in the U.S. because of their environmental consequences.

To the traditionally have-not regions of Canada, any development is seen as good development with hardly a thought, it seems, given to long-term economic and environmental considerations, and certainly not a word of explanation given to citizens expressing concern over these factors.

It is ,evident that the federal government is willing to go along 1with any ’ Maritime schemes to capture the American dollar. What is happening, in the void of a federal energy policy, is a series of present an-d impending which will run power developments cables and petroleum pipelines in a north-south direction to supply the American demand.

This demand justifies each individual projectMackenzie pipeline and Canso refineries-while no east-west energy

link up or “power-grid” exists to provide for national energy requirements before export.

IN

ENERGY

FIELD

The irony of the situation in the Maritime region is that energy developments are accepted for the number of jobs they will provide and by the diversification of the regional economy which will supposedly result.

The truth is that every form of energy p?oject is necessarily capital-intensive and requires highly-trained staff.

Investment in energy projects does not provide nearly the number of jobs resulting from similar investment in other areas of the economy.

A recent paper by Professor J. Tuko Wilson of Toronto’s Erindale College shows that Canada’s mining and petroleum enterprises produce about the same gross domestic product as agriculture, with the latter sector providing four times the workers as mining and petroleum.

And these figures give no indication of the eventual and very real costs to the environment resulting from all forms of energy production.

Nova Scotia’s energy resources and the resulting forms of energy developments can be grouped into two broad categories: offshore petroleum and geography. ,In the case of petroleum, Prof. Wilson, a respected geologist, tells ofthe method used by Canadian Patroleum Association in determining the oil and gas reserves off the Atlantic coast: “The area of Canada underlain by sedimentary rocks is roughly known and the

thickness and hence volume of the rocks can be estimated.

It is assumed that all Canadian frontier basins are as rich as are the basins which lay beneath Texas.

“Unfortunately this is pure surmise; for it has been well established that not all basins are equally proliferous.

Some indeed are barren.”

GEOLOGISTS’ FORTUNATE”

REPORT

“UN-

Prof. Wilson goes on to-note that “it seems particularly unfortunate that the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists adopted this method of estimating potential reserves of 577 trillion cubic feet in the Canadian frontier areas. Their report was largely written by employees of major oil companies.

“It was adopted at a stormy meeting of the executive of that society which was also largely composed of other employees of large companies .”

These figures are those accepted by the federal government.

In the face of potentially inaccurate and optimistic estimation of Canada’s oil and gas reserves, Canada’s proven reserves of oil have declined for, four and our future consecutive years, natural gas reserves index has shrunk from 25 to +13 ’ years.

The liberal estimates of future Canadian petroleum discoveries are used by the industry to Canadain dispel any fear of future thus maintaining export shortages, levels to/the U.S. Depleting the reserves has placed growing pressure on the frontier areas, including the Atlantic offshore.

And yet, while the federal and provincial governments remain involved in a jurisdictional dispute over control of neither body has offshore rights, proposed a concrete program to ensure maximum regional economic benefits from oil and gas development.

Federal performance in the field of ‘/Detroleum leases gives some indication of the probable ineffectiveness of that government in capping the best deal for Maritimers.

University of I3 .C. Professor Andrew Thompson and law student Michael Crommelin write that “the Canada Oil and Gas Land Regulations of 1961 were debated only in the boardrooms of government departments and oil corporations.

Few Canadians know about them even now and few are aware that the government of that day gave the oil industry carte blanche, telling them to ‘write the kind of regulations that would create incentive for northern development. As a result we have a resource ‘give-away’ unparallelled in any country in modern times.”

REGULATIONS

Since Nova Scotia offshore oil and gas regulations, rumoured to be drawn up in preliminary form, have yet to be publicized or put into effect there is no indication of the quality of future provincial performance in this area.

What we do know, however, is that the Nova Scotian government is optimistic - probably unjustifiably so- in their estimation of future benefits from possible oil and gas developments.

An independent study funded by the federal departments of regional economic expansion and energy, mines

and resources indicates that direct ’ employment resulting from offshore oil developments will be minimal. _ The report concludes realistically that the best potential for regional economic advance will be in the areas of support services to the petroleum industryship-building, food and supplies, etc.and the development of new offshore drilling technologies and equipment for the rigourous Atlantic environment.

To best realize these potential benefits, the study recommends the mobilization of government agencies to prepare for the industry in these’ areas, especially where outside competition is likely’. To date there has been little indication of this type of action by the province.

It has, however, carried out its own alternative study, and claims that the forecast for economic spin-off from the oil and gas industry is much more promising than the federal government report indicates.

The provincial report has not been published.

The second category of energy resources is that of geography-the availability of land for energy developments - and 1ordinarily would be ‘of little significance had not a growing environmental awareness in the northeastern United States prevented the unrestricted construction of oil refineries, nuclear power plants, and super ports.

TEMP-

It is not a coincidence that Premier Gerald Regan appeared recently in New York, tempting American developers to Nova Scotia where environmental safeguards and restrictions weren’t in effect.

The problem with Mr. Regan’s open invitation is that we do not have all that much geography to spare, and secondly, the environment does matter in -a province where tourism and primary industries such as fisheries and agriculture make up a sizeable, portion of the economy.

It is evident, in the light of the Nixon administration’s economic policies, that long-term free entry of Canadian energy into the U.S. simply will not be allowed.

What will happen is the necessary return of manufactured goods to this country to balance energy exports-oil and gas and electricity-to the United States. Canada will once again find itself in the position of exporting its resources, in this case energy, capturing little of the labour inherent in the resource, to fire the industrial machinery of. other countries.

In this atmosphere,, Maritime industrialdevelopment will be stifled. And that balanced economy will be just as elusive when, for lack of any kind of regional and national policy, we suffer the impact of high-pollution, lowemployment refineries, super-ports and the like.

We will have all this because our governments, and ultimately the people wiho elect them, believe what they want to believe about the role of energy developments in our industrial prospects .

IJnquestionably, we can ‘expect no handouts from American-based multinational corporations where our governments, in an optimistic stupor, will not provide for an alternative to this i kind of economic growth.

WASHINGTON D.C. (Vogue: Express )-American men will never really be liberated until Canada has been invaded and her population enslaved, a glamorous Mr. Patricia Nixon told a press conference of men’s reporters in Washington today.

Sporting a chic baby-blue af---- ternoon ensemble that blended perfectly with the opulent decor in his tasteful White House sitting room, Mr. Nixon impressed the gathering with his ability to speak forthrightly and clearly without sacrificing any of his masculinity.

His message-that cultural imperialism from north of the border has led American men to believe that they must forever be confined to the “masculine” world of politics and business-was heartily applauded by most reporters present, though female reporters, in what Mr. Nixon _termed “a typical chauvinist response”, expressed strong doubts as to the feasibility of some of the petite brunette’s more - radical notions. . . _ Opening his remarks with a semi-jocular reference to the inconvenience presented by ’ his unscheduled appearance-he had originally hoped to be able to spend the afternoon waxing the entrance foyer at Camp David-America’s First Gentleman seemed a little ill at ease at some points in his speech, which was his first public address without Mrs. Nixon at his side.

Nonetheless, Mr. Nixon impressed the meeting with his candid demeanour, though more

to men, he maintained, that they should be forced to submit to the indignity of pre-nuptial coital interaction, but it is also not right that women should be required to make do with “used goods”.

The tall, attractively groomed nurse, who says that he is “one of the lucky few to have escaped complete societal conditioning”, rejects the claim of many women that males are biologically more suited to sexual promiscuity than women.

“This belief is nothing more nor less than a myth,” he stated, “a myth fostered in our homes, in our kindergartens and in our churches”.

“It’s everywhere you look,” he went on. “In magazines like Playboy, in the movies, and in the books we are given to read in schools. ”

A former engineer has proven that with hard work a man can penetrate the tough competitive world of women. Jock Lightning completed the rigorous training and became the programme world’s first Avon gentleman It was no easy matter for Mr. Lightning to invade this women’s stronghold. __Ameline Burgess, director in charge of hiring for Avon, said that she had had reservations about accepting his application.

Mushroom and caviar canapes, served on delicate Rosenthal china, were quickly devoured by the entourage during a relaxed reception following the address.

Richard K.

than one reporter was openly miffed when he refused to reveal the name of the exclusive London couturier who had created his Flaring exquisitely-cut slacks.

Richard’s audience remained sceptical despite his arguments, and the general feeling was that he was complaining, as one woman put it, “about a problem that :just isn’t there”.

Another Association member said that: “All this talk about men wanting to be able to control their own bodies is just the ranting of a small but vocal minority of male agitators who do not represent the opinions’ of the majority of men. If men could just get their minds out of the pulpits and into the gutters where they belong,” she said, “both men and women would be a lot better off.”

After the meeting the articulate nurse expressed his dissatisfaction with the strong female bias of those in attendance.

“The whole event was a real abortion,” he said.

capable of competing with the women and soon returned to their former professions.

Moreover, Mr -Lightning had led the simple life-of an engineer where business savvy and aggressiveness were the only requirements.

Burgess commented that she was in fact quite surprised at how quickly Jock grasped the difficult technical know-how necessary to being a successful Avon representative.

When asked about what motivated his invasion into the female-orientated Avon world, Jock responded by saying that he

felt he could do the job as well as any woman, and that no’profession should be completely dominated by one sex, especially if men were equally qualified. He added that he hoped other men would take the initiative and enter professions currently thought suitable only for women.

“Prejudice can be overcome,” he said. “Women have no innate superiority over men-despite their much-vaunted reproductive ability-and I think people are beginning to realize that at last.”

Nixon expressed the hope that the popular image of men as being genetically unsuitable for sex symbol status would receive a stiff blow when his pet bombing project’ begins with hundreds of simultaneous nuclear strikes over Canada early next week.

Tomorrow, the president will accompany Mrs. Nixon on a visit to the Guatemalan embassy, where he will be entertained by the ambassador, and will also dedicate- a shipment of Americanmade Bebe Rebozo dolls to be sent to underprivileged Guatemalan children.

Dear Man: 1 am a twelve year old boywith a problem. My mom and dad are always fighting about who should get to stay .home and look after the house, and who has to go out and look after the family business (we own a funeral parlour). Mom says that because she’s a woman she should- be allowed to do the cooking and ironing and that it’s “dad’s place” to go out and work with the stiffs.

Now 1 know that because mom’s a woman most people think she should be allowed to run, the family the way she wants (sis and Ronny are on her side). But I know that one day when I’m a father I’m not going to want to be stuck out in the cold world fending for myself like dad has to do. Row about it, Man? Are you on my side? .

As far as your own ambiguities about a man’s role in the family I suggest you seek professional help, and send for my booklet “Proper Aspirations for Boys and Girls”. ***

Dear Man: What do you think of a wife that says men shouldn’t be allowed to get breast cancer? This may seem like a trivial problem to you, but to me it’s a matter of “make-up or breakup” for my marriage. Sylvia has always been a perfect wife, but ever since she had breast cancer last summer I’ve been realizing that just by being a man I’ve been stereotyped into missing out on many of the rewarding things that seem to come so naturally to women in our society. And it’s not just breast cancer. What about hysterectomies, silicone injections, menstruation and home permanents for men? Let’s hear your answers, Man. Am I off-base in wanting a tumour of my own?

-So Healthy It Hurts Dear Healthy : There is really nothing wrong with being in good health.

However, I can sympathize with your feeling that men were given less interesting bodies by God (not very fair of her was it). This is evidenced by the fact that we have gynecologists and obstricians who exist for the specific function of taking care of women and no specialty to deal with men. Since you do feel that you have been given a secondary position I have contacted my medical consultants and they tell me that there are several obscure operations that you can have. If your own physician does not know of them write me again and I will refer you to someone who does.
