Your home away from home in university residence will cost you more next year, as, in keeping with our inflationary time, the cost of coddling spirals to unprecedented heights. Warden of residence Ron Eydt and vice-president (finance) Bruce Gellatly released the information in a joint report to the ~~ executive committee of-the Board of Governors last week, and revealed that the residences are running a $100,000 deficit on their $2.5 million budget. Next year’s costs are expected to increase *by $212,000 as expenditures rise chiefly in the areas of food, salaries and utilities. If the price,changes are passed, by the Board of Governors-and they’re almost as quick with the rubberstamp as the students’ council-village fees will be increased by $80 per term, and Minota Hagey fees by $5. Room and board in the villages for I the eight months of the ’ academic year will then cost $1,340 fora single room, and $I,,240 for a double, roughly four or five hundred dollars more than the cost of living for a similar period in a house or apartment in the community . Naturally the residences provide many comforts with which offcampus living arrangements cannot \ compete. Included in the roster of village amenities are such luxury items as maid service. close proximity to the academic hub of the campus, and freedom from the domestic drudgery of changing one’s own sheets and cooking one ‘s own meals. A pretty fancy lifestyle for those who,can afford it, though-even this privileged few must soon begin to feel the economic pinch. As with all things, you get more, you pay more. And more. And more. ’ Nick Savage

Strike
ends
MONTREAL (CUP >-January 11 saw the non-teaching professionals at two CEGEPS ’ Vieux Montreal and Edouard Montpetit-return to work after a three week strike. , Last spring the non-teaching professionals at four CEGEPS (community colleges) unionized : at Vieux Montreal, Edouard Montpetit, Limoilou, and Montmorency. Dissatisfaction with salaries and working conditions -drove the union to open negotiations for a new contract last May. The end of summer saw no progress made, and the union asked for a conciliation period of ninety days. ’ No agreement emerged from the conciliation process, and by late December the four CEGEPS were able to strike. About 100 people at Vieux Montreal and Edouard Montpetit struck. ‘. The timing of the strike was well chosen, for it coincided with the opening registration for the spring semester (early January). This forced the college administrators to negotiate around the clock for three weeks. On Jan. 11 a settlement was reached,and regular registration began Jan. 14. Information about support for the strikers was scarce. Teaching staff expressed their support, but only in a semi-official manner. Sympathetic students were unable to express support in any effective and meaningful way because the action took place during the holidays. --

-DOWNSVIEW, ONT (CUP)--Bethune College at York University officially opened Jan. 31. _ The college,- which concentrates on Third _World studies, is named after Dr. Norman Bethune, noted for his medical work on the side of the people during the Spanish and Chinese revolutionary wars. At the opening, Si Schiu-Min, first secretary, cultural division of the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa, said the people of China regard Bethune very highly and concluded with a wish that “the spirit of Dr. Bethune shines’ forever, may the friendship of the people of Canada and the people of the Peoples’ Republic shine forever”. Hazen Sise, who drove Bethune’s truck in the Spainish Civil War said “I have waited 35 years for Bethune to be recognized. ” “Everywhere he went Bethune was worshipped. The lasting effect of Bethune will be that he has shown that service to the_ people will be the highest service one can perform-in this life,‘: Sise said. Canadian diplomats were embarassed when the first visitors to Canada from the People,‘s Republic five years ago asked to see the birthplace of the Canadian. At that time Bethune was unheard of among Canadians. A member of the Communist Party, Bethune died in China from a disease he contracted while nursing a wounded soldier in Mao’s army.

THUNDER BAY (CUP&Paul Filtreau, secretary of Dam the Dams, a Northern Ontario group, recently spotted a contradiction between different governments on Ontario’s hydro plans. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Resources, Julius Katz was quoted as saying to a US House Sub-Committee, “.,.this company (Ontario Hydra) is considering installation of additional hydro electric generating capacity to produce energy, principally for sale in the U.S.” Not long after this statement had been released, Darcy McKeough, Ontario Minister of Energy, said “The generation development program proposed to the government this spring does not include any, hydraulic development in Northern Ontario up to 1982. Hydro has no firm plans for the development of these sites as a part of the continuing review of under developed hydro sites. It is expected that some of these sites will become economic for development and incorporation into the provincial grid as the prices of fossil fuels increase or as the large loads develop in their vicinity.7 “Obviously someone is lying,” said Filtreau. He is currently awaiting a reply to a letter written to McKeough asking that he clarify the matter.

Fun with. fig,ur&
Tuesday afternoon saw the arts faculty and _ the university administration square off in the arena of verbal cut and parry to discuss the budget that had been passed earlier by the Board of Governors, and the state of the Arts Faculty in general. The picture that emerged was of an almost total lack of communication between the two They could not -even factions. agree upon the total number of first year students currently enrolled in arts. Ken Davis, head of the admissions committee for Arts gave his interpretation of the current enrollment-situation. He said that the faculty had, in fact, surpassed the projection set for it by the university, and that approximately 800 first year undergraduates were registered at present. The decline in arts enrollment is% myth, he claimed, citing recent articles in the gazette and -the chevron as perpetuating this myth and creating a misleading image of the arts faculty - as being in desperate straits when it is actually quite healthy. He pointed out -that the faculty does 29 percent of the university’s teaching, but receives only 25 (percent of the money. In deploring faculty or money cuts, Davis observed that- “budget cutbacks put-the arts faculty in jeopardy as one worthy of a major university.” President Burt Matthews was
r
.
there with vice-prez Howie Petch to give the university’s side. Matthews was very sympathetic to the debate, seeming to agree with everything that was being said, though this may just have been good public relations. It fell to Petch to make the rebuttal to Davis’ remarks. He brought forth the figures- from the 74-75 budget that had just been ratified that morning to show that arts was actually getting an increase, rather than a cut, in funds. Only five faculty members were leaving this year, he claimed, two of whom had been asked to leave whatever the financial situation was. He did not comment on the other three.
figures that have been set by the university to maintain _“steady state” (a constant student population of 14,500). They have been decreasing in the last-couple of years to maintain the equilibrium. Since “steady state” is still the universityls policy, m.ost of the people in the room wanted to know why the faculty’s compliance with them was labelled as a “decline” by the administration. Real answers were not forthcoming. Matthews explained that the’figures were projections, not quotas, and that he would be as happy as heck if the faculty surpa_ssed them ; in fact, this is what they had to aim for.
The topic of contract, downgradement was brought up but no solid -answer as to its prevalence was f.orthcoming. Petch stated flatly that there would be no large scale faculty layoff for financial reasons this year, but-that they-were almost a certainty next year (i.e. 1975-76) if the situation in the Arts faculty continues to decline. He said it was a shame that junior , Canadian faculty members would be the’ ones to go, but that is the way it is. It was this expression, “continuing to-decline”, that irked many in the room, for there was no explanation of what exactly. was meant by “decline’ ’ . The faculty has, on the whole, met its projected enrollment figures over the past few years,
At a few points in the evening, the whole -affair threatened to deteriorate into a pep rally of the “We-know-you-can-do-it-guys” variety, led by Matthews and Petch. General amusement on the_ part of the arts faculty members present averted this. Davis and Petch continuedto attack and counterattack with their figures . and . various manipulations t.hereof’ the final impression being that. they could only agree to disagree, and no more. The lines of communication are in a bad state of disrepair between the university administration ‘and the arts faculty, a situation which can only serve’ to perpetuate the atmosphere of confusion which now surrounds the activities of both.

Gellatly stated that the undergraduate count was good for the current year, enough to reduce -bert rutledge the deficit to nil for the 1975-6 budget. He called for an investment fund to be set up so to allow for replacement of teaching equipment and “other capital items”. The transfer-to the investment fund is in the neighbourhood of 1.3 million. Gellatly also suggested to the governors that the president be allowed $200,000 to “play with” in next year’s budget.. This discretionary fund would permit Matthews to’allocate $90,000 to the library if.Jhe need arises. Professor Irish asked _Gellatly the value that the university received from being a member of, cou (Council of ’ Ontario Universities).

The end result allowed Matthews *to approach cou with “diplomacy” and to suggest a gradual increasing of the maxima until the maxima is eventually done away with. Next on the agenda was the student villages budgets. Gellatly indicated to the board that the village student councils approved the $160 increase. He said that the price for the single room for the session was $1340 and for the double $1240. Gellatly claimed that the rates were still eomparable with other Ontario universities. Matthews further corroborated Gella tly ‘s statement of widespread student support for the increases. He stated that -after numerous visit&to the villages, students had. expressed their desire to maintain all the niceties of thevillages. The latter includemaid service, personal telephones, unlimited amounts of food and the dons. One villager had told the president that if the maid service were removed, his room would be a “mess”‘. Others wanted to keep the telephone in each room so that they could communicate with one , ’ another b Doug Wilcox, the undergraduate board representative, felt that the increases might drive a lot of villagers to seek off campus housing. To this remark, Matthews jokingly, replies‘,‘that it would be good for students to live off campus in fall as then there is a great demand for the villages”. He would however prefer students to return to campus during spring and summer as the village vacancy rates are “very high’!. The board of governors convinced that students favoured the fee increases, voted to accept the villages budget. Bruce McKay, mathematics undergraduate repr.esentative, unlike Doug Wilcox and Steve Clodman, felt it appropiate to vote for the residence fee increases. The last item on the agenda was the faculty salary adjustments. Burt Matthews asked the board, of governors to accept the pay increases, as the increases would fit in the already approved budget. The board, acted upon Burt’s advice to permit faculty m-embers decent wages. The increases (6.5 per cent) allow the 199 professors an average of $26,936; the 261 associate professors an average of $19,698; the 203 assistant professors an average of $15,055 and the 38 lecturers an average of $12,443. -john

The CLM feels that the international unions which have affiliates in Canada are right wing, and are bureaucratically run, and are not responsive to the needs of Canadian workers because of their international character. They feel that by throwing the international unions out of Canada and replacing them with Canadian unions the workers will be able to establish unions which are more democratic and more left wing.

The sub&t of income tax is a complex one, but important to all Canadian , residents. Students must, like all other adult Canadians, file a return for any year in which they have income exceeding allowable deductions. Of course many students may not be subject to income tax, even if they have received money during the year for part-time or summer employment. This article is a basic guide outlining some of the laws and responsibilities commonly applicable to university students.

Basic
Deductions
All taxpayers are entitled to a standard personal exemption of $1,600 and a minimum of $100 for medical expenses and charitable donations. A 3 percent deduction for employment expenses _ (to a maximum of $150) may also be made from employment earnings. As well as these exemptions which apply to everyone there are certain other exemptions which may be claimed by the students. Tuition
Fees
Students may deduct tuition fees paid to the university (provided they exceed $25). These fees may be claimed only by the students, and not by his parent or some other person, regardless of who may have actually paid for them. Tuition fees may be deducted for <either the ‘calendar. year’ or ‘academic year’, at the-option of the student. In this way, co-op students in particular may claim their fees in such a’ manner as to minimize / their taxable income for
Expenses
Every time a student leaves university to work (for work terms or summer employment), he may > claim moving expenses against earned income. Students moving to a university may claim moving expenses only against taxable award income. These expenses may not be claimed if the student was reimbursed by his employer. Expenses that (are deductible include : travelling costs (including meals and lodging en route) ; transportation and storage; temporary accomodation Cup to 15 days ). Receipts must be retained to support any of the above &aims. A completed Tl-M form must be attached to your return, a copy of which is available from your local taxation office. Property
professors and administrators hired by the universities. The solution which they propose for this situation is the demand that 85 percent of all teaching - jobs - in all Canadian universities be held by Canadian citizens. Contrary to what CLM may believe, Canada is not a banana republic or a colony. Canada is in fact an imperialist country with its own internal colony of Quebec. The capitalists in Canada also have very significant investments in the Caribbean through a number of banks. This is why Canadian nationalism is a very grave danger for the left in Canada. Canadian nationalism diverts attention from the task of struggling against the Canadian state towards the supposed priority of, struggling against “predominant” US imperialism. -It creates a tremendous ideological and political obstacle on the road towards class consciousness and class organization.
Deductions
The education deduction may be claimed by any student in full-time attendance at designated educational institutions <U. of W. falls under this c,ategory ). Th$ consists of $50 per. month of fulltime attendance in the taxation (calendar) year. Attendance must be for at least three consecutive weeks, and the term includes the beginning and concluding months of the school term. If the student has no taxable income, or needs to claim only part of the education deduction in order to reduce his taxable income to zero, this’ parents, spouse or guardian may claim all, or the unclaimed part,’ of the education deduction.

These fees, of course must not have been claimed previously. A tuition fee claim must be supported by an official receipt. This is the fee statement signed by the University at Registration, and a cash receipt serves for this if fees are paid in installments. The claim might also include receipts from the university under OSAP, or scholarships. The Financial, Services office will replace copies lost at a 2cost \ of $2.00
Tax and Sales Tax Credit
A student living in residence may claim $25 occupancy cost for the year. For students not living in residence, the calculations for occupancy cost are. explained in the Ontario Tax Credit System schedule. Child Care
Expenses
The cost of caring for children is allowed, within certain limitation’s, as a deduction from the income of a working mother, or, in some cases, from the income of the father. Award
Income
Income from scholarships, bursaries, fellowships or prizes must be included as income. The total of such awards, less a $500 exemption, is the amount which must be stated as award income. In conclusion the writers of this article realize that the alternatives for individuals are many and complex. Should specific in- c3 formation be required they suggest you contact the local income tax office located at 166 Frederick St. in Kitchener. The service is available free of charge. --doug brooks, keith farlinger, dieter gaubatz and glenn wares

The next best thing
Work, women and wages It has become fairly safe now to demand equal pay for equal work, even women are being allowed to use this handy little slogan when talking about their own possible rights in the working world. So, the issue of women and wages was a well enough established topic for the first discussion in this months womens conference which is being held in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. This subject was intended to bring the working woman to the conference, and the discussion was held in a centrally located downtown church-Trinity United on Frederick; but even so, the majority of the audience at last Wednesdays seminar were young university women. Working women were present along with a few men but the body of the group was made up of either university students or professors. Madeline Parent was the big drawing card for the evening, speaking on the conditions of working women in Canadian society, with her emphasis being, for this discussion, the position of women in the KW area. Parent is a long time union organizer in both Ontario and Quebec; ‘her’ union being the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union. Her latest involvement has been with the infamous strike at the Artistic Woodworking plant in Toronto. However for this one evenings discussion her emphasis was to be the position of women in that workforce and therefore in those . unions. Parent began with some very basic premises : “working outside the home has become a way of life for women-in order to make a living”, “women are singled out as a group for discrimination”, and that the people that “tend to get the highest pay are men”. To further support her claims, Parent had brought along some very informative statistics on the KW business community . Her figures used are from a study done in 1972 and they compare the salaries of men and women in the various clerical positions in the industries of the area. In the fifteen classifications there is only one where there are more men in the job than women, and that is the cost accounting clerk. (There is the exception of the office ‘boy’ of which none at all were women. 1 Salaries of all men in any field were higher than the women in the same field, even though there were more women and, theoretically, more bargaining power in the hands of the women. A senior bookkeeper (male 1 is paid an average of $165 per week while his woman equivalent is being paid
$115. Also, in the higher positions of any classification there were more men than women even though the total number of women in the field were greater. (junior accounting clerks, senior accounting clerks) There were several p&itions in which there were absolutely no men. The pay was very low and the status less than that of any of the male dominated fields. A senior typist makes less money than the lowly office boy. In total there are 2,214 women working in these fields in KW in comparison with the 520 men. Businesses and business men can hire a more qualified woman for less money than a less qualified man. Parent said, “when they can make that kind of a deal, that kind of profit off women, who would want to hire a man?” This demonstrates how in your community women are being discriminated against and being used-they are being kept in jobs not considered important enough for men. Women usually have a higher education than the men that they are working with and while these men have less education they still receive higher pay.” From here Parent moved into a discussion or rather an explanation of the laws that are supposed to be: clearing up these discrepancies. There are laws in both the provincial and the federal codes, but neither of them have been of any use at all in bringing the pay of men and women, or the opportunities to the groups anywhere near being equal. The Ontario legislation states that no employer can pay any different wages to men and women if all of the following factors are the same in every case; they perform the “same work in the same establishment, the performance of which requires equal skill, effort and responsibility, and is performed under similar working conditions?’ Any of these variables can be established by the employer. As well, there are four more variables ; “a seniority system, a merit system, a system that measures earnings by quantity or quality of production, or a differential based on any factor other than sex.” Again, any of these can be set by the employer making any appeal that direct responsibility of the person involved. The government will not investigate claims of any discrimination unless the individual involved makes the complaint. The federal governments legislation is little more, the wording is not so blatantly useless, but the effects are just the same. Parent suggested several recommendations for new

legislation the most important point being that work should be evaluated on the “equal pay for equal value” concept. The idea was not something that the women’s liberation groups have dreamt up in the last few years, its been around a long time. Such a concept was made a goal of the International Labour Office twenty years ago. Since then the United Nations has also paid some lip service to the principle but nothing significant enough to effect any change in Canada, who for the most part seems content to let the matter lie until forced to do something more. Parent emphasized the need she sees for women to join unions or to organize their own, in order to be able to do anything at all as a major bargaining force. “The day is past when an individual is going togetaheadonherown...Itmaybe quite a male, chauvinistic union, controlled by the United States and where you would be no better off. In this case you can start your own union-it is not hard-a Canadian union.” , She declined to speak to any issues other than the exact topic for which she had made -the trip from Brantford; except to say that “equality in the economics is only one part but the big part in the battle we must wage.” Parent was firm in her belief that only actual ‘real-life’ situations like the strike in Toronto have any use as a politicizing force for the general working class. She did not make a very clear the connection between the economic necessity to

on the subject
capitalism of having such a cheap labour pool like women, and the profits reaped by the business men that own these people. During a question and answer period after her initial presentation, Parent dealt with some of the myths that exists about women and especially women working. Women are said to have little interest in organizing in an union, probably because they do not have a known history of involvement in these struggles. Parent explained part of the-myth away saying that women are not any less interested in organizing but rather that men have been the ones that go into the place of work and try to organize women in the way to which men are accustomed. “Women have certain needs and problems and we just have to understand these to help these women organize.” Another myth which is running rampant among most womenprobably because its a very popular myth reinforced by just about everything that the society produces, Including more of its people. Office workers see themselves in a class above factory workers and the factory workers, ‘althaugh angry also believed this fallacy to be true. Office workers are paid less, in very many cases, than the factory workers. They are cheap labour. “People learn through organizing and struggling because they run up against those that exploit them and the powers-thatbe. The lessons learned from that will be the important ones.” -Susan
johnson
If one of the original clubs on campus is successful, students from distant parts of North American and many countries in other parts of the world will be able to talk with friends and relatives at home at no cost. The Amateur Radio Club is attempting to supply a service to University of Waterloo students who are in this situation, where a ten minute telephone call could cost $25-$45. Such exorbitant costs can make regular telephone calls unfeasible. However, by a technique known as “phone-patching” such high long distance costs are in most instances eliminated, the long distance telephone link being replaced by the shortwave radio link, in much the same manner as marine “ship-to-shore” radio. The service, however, would be on a strictly non-commercial basis, with radio amateurs at both ends connecting their radio equipment to the telephone lines. A typical phone patch would consist of requesting this service through any participating Undergrad Society, or other points on campus (to be announced-shortly). The request is then processed and forwarded to the Amateur Radio Club in Engineering 2, Room 2355, where the radio operator would then attempt to contact another amateur radio station in the area to be communicated with. The radio amateurs at both ends connect their radios to the telephone lines to complete the circuit. If the person wishing the patch has not been called to the station in person, he is called by telephone by the- U of W operator and “patched” in, talking to the distant party at no charge. In addition to phone-patching, the club expects to handle written messages ; at present by Morse Code transmission, but hopefully by radioteletype shortly. Definitely on the list of communica t ions available will be cheap and swift communications with other universities in North America. Almost all major universities and colleges in North America have well equipped amateur radio club stations, realizing the services available through the use of such facilities. Such a service is not new by any means, although it is new to U of W. McGill and many others have had such a service for many years. The Federation of Students is presently considering a proposal to revamp the facilities at the Amateur Radio Club by replacing the presently antiquated equipment with modern efficient equipment. engineering has allocated room E2-2355 for use by the club. --g’ menzies

safety
in intramurals
When the intramurals program adopted its new system of intramural assistants this term, one of the six positions created was that of the Intramural trainer who would be responsible in part for the safety procedures in intramural activities. The primary objective of intramural athletics is to provide a voluntary internal program of physical activities that serves the needs and interests of those within the university in a safe, worthwhile and enjoyable manner. Safety is the prime concern of all participants. Needless injuries can be prevented by wearing proper equipment and participating in the activity in a manner which does not promote injury. Players who are injured should be kept out of an activity until ‘rehabilitated. Individuals should always carry their Ontario Health Insurance number. It is important that all injuries-, no matter how minor, should be reported to the intramural office, and a questionaire filled out for the purpose of continuing an intramural injuries. study which will and has lead to increased safety for its participants. The Athletic Department’s training room is equiped to rehabilitate soft tissue injuries (bruises, sprains, strains etc> suffered by athletes participating in intercollegiate and intramural competitive and recreational events. For further information contact the intramural office regarding injuries and the training room.

As a group they have had racing experience which is incomparable to that of other leading teams in the circuit, and they plan to do well this weekend. Someone started‘ the rumour that the ski team has a winning strategy: they are all going to wear their newly acquired and brightly coloured racing shells, blind the opposition and ski to victory. -rica

board level to the various societies, and you also leave some places open for the general student body, for students that might want to get involved, that could be a very workable arrangement. - It has been the ’ policy of the Federation of Students that we have been in opposition to the’ . structure of the University of Waterloo; the way the structure is set up. As you all know, we operate on a bicameral system-that means there are two bodies, the Senate and the Board of Governorsthese two bodies represent staff, faculty, students and community. We felt at that time that when the structure of the University of Waterloo was being decided upon that the unicameral system would best serve the‘ interest ’ of the students, as well-as, this campus. Now, if we make these-kinds of demands upon administration as we have done so in the past, I find it a bit incredulous to separate ourselves from the societies and say-that they are different from us in the Federation of Students. That is’not. the case. At that level we are all students; Telegdi: It is my fairly strong belief that inwhether you belong to the society or the volvement of the societies is not only desirable, it whether you are active in the society is essential. As you know, therewas a federation; or the federation. federation/society conference held. for the first time last month and it is my feeling that resolutions coming out of that conference will be A lraditional ,issue iti .federation elections positive in their nature for the student body as a has been the ‘co@ict’ between the enwhole. One should also note that the societies, if tertainment and the educational sectors of they are functioning well, have a greater the organizations. To what kxtent do you see awareness of students at their faculty level. The this as a real split, an’d,- in that light; what cause of this greater awareness is due to the would you do to re.concile these two areas? greater number people involved. * - To give you an example, there are twenty members of the council in the math society while Telegdi: Well, to me the object of all the boards is the -federation only has four. By involving the the same-to serve the students, to serve their societies, not only would we have more validity interest. Therefore, by’ broadening the base of for the decisons that we do make, we would also input by the student through the re-organization have more’manpower at our disposal. The Board . of education-related boards, this so-called split of Entertainment; as you know, is-made up of the would be reconciled. If the grassroots and the societies are consulted then the direction that social directors of the societies and a chairperson appointed by student council.

Last Monday, Chevron. staff-members John Morris, Susan Johnson and Nick Savage held a marathon public interview in the Campus Centre *with Federation of Students presidential hopefuls Baron Loader, Andrew Telegdi and David , Assmann. Political observers and hardcore masochists alike will revel in the revealing text of this interview as it appears over these pages. The event was chaired by election committee member Ann Knechtel. . The past year has seena gradual strenglhening of the bond between the Feder&ion of Students and the undergraduate s&ieties. Do you think this is a good trend, and how-far would you like to see it continued.? Loader: I think personally that there should be a very strong bond between the federation- and the societies for one reason. Societies represent most of the students-on this campus, and since they are in contact with the students more often than the federation is, there should be a bond between them so that there is an understanding of what the students want. I do not think the societies should control the federation because there are a lot of students that do not belong to any society. They are just doing their thing, and since I feel the federation representsevery student on campus, they should all .work together to figure ‘out what the students want.. Assmann: One of the’developments that we have + seen happen in the past year; a good thing, has been the increase in commu%ication between the federation and the societies. I feel that this is a necessary thing. I feel that the societies and the federation should be complementary, they should -. not be competitive. The societies have a distinct area in which they work and the federation has a different area, interaction between the two is necessary for co-ordination in such areas as entertainment-areas of specific interest to one group on campus. But I feel that, as the word bond implies, there should be autonomy. There should be a distinct difference between the societies and the federation, their power structures should not be intertwined. There is much they can assist each other in; areas of cooperation are absolutely essential. I would like to draw an analogy here with the federal-provincial governments and the federation-society relationship. I feel that the The spheres - of influence are . I( comparable. provincial governments have control over certain areas and the federal government has control over others, but often co-operation between-the two is necessary. .One thing that might be emphasized, is that some societi%s are stronger than others, and just like there is disparity on the regional level there may well be disparity in the societies. If societies were to control the federation then this would be to the detriment of the larger number of students. I must emphasize that cooperation is essential in a number of areas. -

most money into it,‘while the education is lacking in some parts. But the only way that the Federation of Students knows is from feedback from the students, the interest in any type of ,entertainment and education is’only known to the federation by the input that the student gives, and so far entertainment is the one thing most students seem to be interested in. It does not have to be this way if the -students want it the other way, but if the students want more- en-

tertainment than education then that is where the money should- go. Because it is the students’ money, you are paying twenty-two dollars a year and it is up to the students, really, what they-want. The only way that we know is by the input, and the reactions that we get towards it. Assman: I -do not see that there is a split between -entertainment and education per se, I think the only problems that have arisen in the past have been due,to the politics of the people involved and the personalities involved. If there is a unified federation, if the people were working together then the case of a split between entertainment and education will not occur. Chevron: It seems that one_ of the troubles between entertainment and education has been that people have objected-to entertainment being run along business lines while the education has been run along more or _less co-operative lines. How would you reconcile that? Telegdi: Well; as I stated in my answer previously, if we take a look at the make-up of the --wBoard of ’ Entertainment, you ,will see a fairly newsletter should be put out and distributed on a broad range of in-put, coming from the societies wide-scale - as PanY copies as there are and some other members of the board that do not students-containing a list of events for the belong to the societies. As far as the Board of upcoming months, a list of the services that the Education is concerned, it did not have a broad federation offers, information about council _ base of in-put. If you look at it, there were very meetings-not, just agendas, but information and few people involved, with an awful lot of money. background about items on the agendas-and . Now; if I may suggest to you, if you take the that this newsletter be put out on a monthly basis educati%nal-related activities in the federation and widely distributed. this year, they were very well funded. -For I -feel ‘that surveys should be conducted-a example, Boards of External, Education and minimum of one per term-general surveys, and Publications had a budget of $80,000 whereas the alsospecific surveys on major issues.

What I was During this weekend a number of not-yet-firsttalking about in particular with regard to enyear-students-people that would be first year tertainment : they generate money;-obviously students-inthe fall-were brought. to campus for they do %ot need as big a subsidy, but should a weekend, given guided tours -06’ campus, intheir whole operation be geared tqwards getting a x tro&&d to various members o,f the federation; bigger revenue? and discussed aspects of how the federation Telegdi: I do not think that it is the case that the operates and problems that might arise in the Board of Entertainment is operating with a great fall-with the university, with registration, with deal of revenue. I think that we have to emany number of hassles they might run into in phasize that the problem is that the in-put, the September. decisions made at the board level, are not made - NQW, the idea of this was not only to introduce by people involved with the campus as a whole. them to university life but also to integrate them When you have one or two or three people making into .the orientation program in the decisions for the rest of the student body, they - fall, and to help them learn abut the federation can take that board in any direction that they and the university, and to communicate this to want to. In a lot of cases the directions that they other students. I feel this can be expanded to the take them do not meet with the approval or the level where there’s maybe six or seven of these interest of the general student body. Now to per summer, which would involve a large number ensure that this does not happen, as I stated of first year students, and in the fall, when they before you have to broaden the base of the people arrive on campus, they would have some idea of making those decisions. what the federation is all about, the university is all about, and the problems that might arise. As a somewhat bureaucratic &ganization, Telegdi: The reason that the constituents of the Federation of Students have had difficulty in the Federation qf Students has-often had communicating with the federation is that we did t;ou ble . communicating with its connot deal with all the various groups on campus. stituents, and executing its poticies on a We have “isolated to a large degree, especially in grass roots level. What steps would you take the past-this year has been an improvement in to lessen this gap in the future? . our communication network and input that is solicited from the various student organizations. Assmann: I feel that this is one major area that As the first question stated, we attempted to do the federation has failed in in the past.1 feel that this; hopefullly , next year we can formalize some there are quite a number of areas that can be structure. worked OP to develop this communication betNext year we hope not only to strengthen the ween the federation and the students. I feel that bonds with the societies, but the residences as the publication of another handbook would be well. There is approximately 4,000 people living very useful.

you ‘know what programs we are making’ available. Now I went to some classes this year-not a great deal because I did not have the time-but the ones I did hit, and the groups I did talk to, I stated that the federation offers a wide range of activities and if there are some activities that you see that are not happening that you feel that should be happening I invited you at that time to come into the federation office and become involved in a new range of activities. Now the federation of students to a large extent is you, we’ve got the skeleton crew upstairs, and if you feel that we aren’t doing our job or you feel that we are-neglecting some areas it’s up to you to inform us. Loader: I think the biggest problem that we have in communication is that the students really don’t care, and the problem is the federation sits in its office and goes on with day-to-day work never hearing from the student, and no possible way is there for the federation to get off its ass and go out after the students. The students reallydon’t give much feedback to the federation. Very few people are active in the *federation and societies.sThe mass of people go from day to day, they go -from class to class, and they don’t do anything. They don’t know what’s going on, and ‘it’s not because information is ‘lacking in some parts, it’s just because they don’t really care, and the only way to get them interested is to go out after them, and this is what the federation’s about for the, students. It’s their -money, we’ve got to use it, we’ve got _to get themoff their asses. You can’t expect them to come knocking_on your door because a lot of people won’t. They’ll just sit back and they’ll bitch about what’s going on and they’ll tell it to their friends and that’s about -as far as it goes. For any feedback to get back, the federation is going to have to go out to the students somehow, use every possible means that they can to get it, even if it’s just by using the newspapers, by using the chevron, if possible, or the society papers to get feedback any possible way that they can so that they know what the students want. This is the only way that communication is going -to increase. The students on this campus really don’t give a shit about what’s going on. Chevron;-David, you said you were going to try and improve communications between the students and the federation but you have not been planning to go through the societies to do that:‘Would you explain why the societies are not going to play a role. in furthering this communication. Assmann: I did not say that the societies would not play a role in furthering communication. I feel that communication should be-at a level between the societies and the federation, as well: as the federation and the students. But to use the

federation/society relationship to get to the students is a double step. First you go to the society and then you go, to the students._1 feel that youxshould work at two levels at the same time; you should communicate with the society (I I think that it is important) and you should also communicate with the students. Chevron: All of the candidates spoke, pretty much, about- what the president can do, but what : part can the student council play in communicating with the students? Telegdi: Well, it has not been the practice of the members of students council to be greatly involved with the Federation of Students. We tried to make use of the members of council this year. Well first of all, in their favour, I would like to state that this year’they attended more council meetings than ever before and we never, had to cancel council meetings because of lack of quorum. On thelOPIRG question we sent out the members of council to -solicit the -views of the student body. So when it came to a council meeting we could make a more viable decision. - But on-the whole, student council has not been very involved, in the federation boards, Loader: Unfortunately, I do not know the inner politics of the federation or the council, I just happen to be a common student that got pissed . off about what was going on, the lack of information and the services I was getting, and this is the only reason I am running ‘for federation president. I feel that most of the students do not know what is going on and Irfeel they should. They are paying -for it. Assmann: I feel that council members should play an integral part in the communication process. They are elected to represent their constituency and as such should be responsible for aiding and getting communication back to things such as their constituency, and ,
time that it was instituted and I signed a policy statement that the Board of Education put out at the time. I will read some of it to you: “At the risk of understatement, it should be suggested that we live in a society which is characterized by discrimination based on class, race and sex. Those individuals and groups which are concerned with correcting the inequities of such a system, have a responsibility to their conscience, if nothing else, to respond to discriminatory. actions and practices, especially when they occurred within the organizationof which they are a part. The Board of Education of the Federation of Students accepts this responsibility.‘The board is of the opinion that the federation should not compromise its moral and philosophical principles, for any reason, especially not for economic considerations. The federation is not a training ground for managers, technocrats, and efficiency experts. It is an organization which is committed to social change. This assumes that alternatives we wish to implement are first put into practice in
there are students on campus and we have to provide a service for them, running pubs, and basically that is all we tried to do. And I do not feel that the Board of Entertainment will bring forward this policy in the future. Chevron: You said that council decided not to make a ruling on this matter and instead give it back to the Board of Entertainment to make another decision within their own board? Telegdi: What I stated was that as a rule ‘that council should not dump on any one board in particular before allowing that particular board to recon.sider their decision. The reason for this is obvious. Like \I stated before, Board of ‘Entertainment probably has better representation than any,of the other boards. And for us to have actively dumped on them in the council meeting, would have widened the split. Now, I say this would be the case with all the boards. You know you can be .effective in numerous, ways”. If you alienate people when you come on to them as being antagonistic in a council meeting, then you are not going to get the co-operation you could _ get i?i the future. And when the board had the 1‘i,
Loader: I was completely against Oktoberfest coming into the campus centre for one reason: the students fought to have the campuscentre open to all students at all times and all of a sudden Oktoberfest came along and closed it down...The students are fighting to get control of their own policies; what you are doing ‘is just cutting it away again.
Issues which have raised the hackles of some , over the p’ast year-and those which have been the most visible-have been those iiz the area of entertainment. Some of these have been: a] The yed-ferns’ policy, according to which, at some $ubs last summer a dzfferential pricing structure was instituted on the- basis ofsex. What position did you take on this at the ti&e, and would you ever support such a policy in the future?

Loader: I do not believe there should be any bias whatsoever in any federation operation or any society operation. That was a gimmick to bring people in and to bring money in, and I do not think that the federation should do this in any way.

I feel that council members should be the ones that put a lot‘of the work into putting these together; , Chevron: I would like to speak to what Andy, said. He said he was having trouble getting council involved, and I would like to know how he is going to get the students involved if he cannot get the council members involved. , Telegdi: Well, first of all, just to reiterate the point that I just made, as far as student council went this year, like I said they attended more meetings and we, always made quorum. Now, in I,, many cases, we have constituency meetings where members of students’ council could meet with the students that they represent. But when _ you look at the fact that you have five members from engineering on student council, two of whom are off term, leaving you with three; three people that .have to communicate with a population of 1700, For the most part that is almost impossible. Whereas if you look at the societies they have a member of council from each class of engineering, making communication in that case much more viable. So perhaps, we could increase the size of students’ council to- give more representation to the students, enabling the members of council to have a lesser load when trying to communicate with the students.

our own organization. One of these practices is sexual equality, the assertion that women are first human beings and, secondly, women. To reaffirm the-practices of past federations and to restate what was understood as being obvious, let it be known that the Board of Education of the Federation of Students, does not support a sexist, chauvinistic philosophy, and it intends in every way possible to discourage such views. Whatever power and influence-we have will be used for the goal of equality.” I feel that I would never support a policy of discrimination presently or’ in the future. Telegdi/: I am sure that you are all aware that during the summertime the ratio of men to women on this campus is twenty-to-one. Under the Liquor Control Board of Ontario regulations a pub under a special occasion permit, has to have ir ratio of less than three-to-one, in relation to the sexes. Otherwise,.it would be called a stag and it would not get as many special occasion permits that they have. The decision of the Board of Entertainment to try and improve on the ratio between men and women, we all realize that the LCBO regulations for the most part are ridiculous, but we have to , abide by them whether we want to or not. The Board of Entertainment passed a policy regarding the price of admittance, before overruling their decision in counc_il and creating ill-feeling with the board it was our feeling that the Board of Entertainment be given a chance to reconsider what they did at the boar&. meeting, which the board did. They changed their policy regarding the price of- admission. Now, this was not an I economic gimmick to get more people in, this was not the ‘case, because during the summertime
input from the student council, they voluntarily reached their decision. Chevron: I am saying though that it was not , council that gave the decision back to the board, but rather, the matterwas ruled out of order and council did not know what decision was being made, or what was going on at all. Whenever the matter was raised at gubsequent council meetings, the chairperson ruled it out of order. - Telegdi:’ It was brought up at the next council meeting and the whole thing was dropped from the agenda, and dropped from the records. The - ‘Board of Entertainment changed its policy. ’ Chevqm: Art Ram, chairman of the Board of Entertainment, said later that the reason the policy was changed was not because of the sexism but because it was not an economically useful policy. Telegdi: What I would suggest to you is that the co-operation between‘the Board of Entertainment and the chevron has not been great. One of the, reasons for this, I feel, is because the chevron has - dumped ,on a particular person who has brought more things to this campus, namely Art Ram. more than any individual should be dumped on. And I don’t feel that your attitude regarding Art Ram was just or serving the interest of the students. Che&on: Thank you for answering the question so succinctly.

Now when one gets- the job, as the federation president, it’s mcredibl@ how long it takes to learn . the job. Assna& I‘ see’ the role- of president of the federation. in several areas: L one would be as apublic relations person, a liass person between the federation and outside organizations, and campus organizations; between the federation and societies, the federation and students as a whole, and federation and clubs’ and , organizations. I also see the president as so”meone I who is a coordinator of activities, within the ‘organization, he is a coordinator of people that carry out the programs, -people working in the< different areas, there should be some sense of co; ordination, and I feel the president should fall , -r into this. role. * As well, the president should be an innovator, he should-not participate in the existing programs he&should be encouraging and _developing new programs, ford people to work’ in.

we are not members, is that the average student on campus does not know w-hat the organizations =are.’ Now, I feel that by involving the societies and some different groups at the Board of External level, it would be able to enhance communication at least back to the societies who in turn could pass it on to .their particular constituents.’ It would also help if the OntarioFederation of Students and the National Union of Students would restrict their involvement to more studentrelated issues. Like right now there are motions existing under the OFS and the NUS that will never be acted upon supporting just about every struggle you could ever think of throughout the ‘world. I attended a NUS conference last spring along with Shane Roberts and having seen their functioning, or I should say their non-functioning at times; we did not feel that it was in our best interest to join. As far as the OFS goes, we gave it a lot of support, in terms of finances and in providing a person such as Shane Roberts this past summer to work on programs in that field. In relation to’ speakers that come onto qampus, I feel that we should have a greater diversity in speakers, I feel we should bring in/ speakers that are more in demand, therefore are more attractive to- the student body. Now, speakers have been in the past year one of the areas where more subsidy has gone into per student than any other area of-the federation. I would like to see more involvement by the students in bringing in the speakers, and letting us know what speakers they want: Assmann: - It is necessary to have a strong provincial federation before any attempt is made to organize a nationalunion. Therefore, I feel that at this time that it is’not advisable for Waterloo to participate in any national union until the provincial body gets-fully under way. The OFS has been in existence for just under two years and has not yet had time to permanently establish ‘itself. It has made headway in quite a number of areas. The provincial government is now turning to OFS for advice and briefs on virtually any matter in which they consult students. It is this .body to which they turn for advice. Our support of OFS could only serve to make it a more viable ’ body and more should be -done in this area to bring some of the functions of OFS to the student bodyto let people know what it is involved in .and what it is doing. In the area of speakers, there have -been eleven campus forums held-since September and nine of them have been on third world issues. I feel there should be more diversity in the speakers that are more speakers should- b.e brought to campus, Canadian - we‘ should Canadianize the campus forums. Also, I would like to see a series of speakers on science and technology; There - are _ a lot of competent speakers in the area of s@enceand technology that could attract a large number of people and give people some idea ‘of things other than third world issues. Chevron: Baron, earlier you said you were in-
.
terested in putting most money into whatever the most students attendedthings promoted ,by the Board of Entertainment. Just now you said that you ,were interested in the campus forums and continuing the speaker series; which would be a continuation of the boards of external relations ~ and education. I am wondering if you are planning to cut down in some areas to give more money to provide both these things. Loader: I do not believe you really .have to-cut down. When it comes down to dollars and cents, you might; /but when it comes down to par- . ticipation of the federation.-..1 think the federation should make every effort to providewhat the students want. You should realize that GFS is for the students, and the University of Waterloo is only one of the universities involved in this. There should be more participationby us somehow. .Within just the federation offices, or by the students, but you are coming down to .money and what should be subsidized, and I .believe you would have to look at the budget and see which is the best effort in which areas. As entertainment is what counts ’ for most people, as entertainment can be for“ education values or for just plain entertainment, most people are just worried about that primarily. But like anything else I think there should be more effort made, to making the students happy than going into ideas that will bring it all together. I do not think they should be ,. lacking. Chevron: How are you judging what is the most valuable event -by’ the attendance? .Loader: That is the problem to evaluate right now. As you take a look at what people attend there is a general thing you -can’ put on that interests people. And the only way you are going to find that out, is by the number of people that attend. I think that in the last couple of years it has been going downhill as far as entertainment. I think the university has really gone downhill. I -think there should be more emphasis-on the fact that the student wants to be entertained. They pay $22 for things .other than education, he is paying tuition for the education. The $22 should be used to make the student happy, whatever that is. If its entertainment-concert%, pubs or speakers. If people show an interest in speakers then you should bring that type of thing in. As’smann’ I do not think that you ‘can evaluate the event by the number of people that turn out. There are peo,ple that consistently take advantage of &tain areas of the federation, and
there are people that do not take advantage of those areas ,at all. If there is only one thing they attend in the year and they get more value out of that than someone else gets out of seven events that they attend, then that one thing was more valuable to them:There are timeswhen you have to judge whether or not you are serving the student body as a whole. You should provide a variety of programs and try to provide things for -all aspect’s’of the student body, rather than judge *by-what most of the people like. We should not judge for. the majority, but we should judge for pleasing as many of the students as-we can. Telegdi: Perhaps you shoiild look UP the statement that I submitted to the chevron when I first came into office. I stated that I would-like to see a complete_ federation, a federation that, is active in a number of areas. Now‘: I am sure we are all aware that the cost in the entertainment : field has inflated. Take Alice Cooper, who played here last year for $4,000, he is now going for $50. $100,000. Obviously we cannot afford that act. Most of the groups that are coming on campus are coming promoting themselves or are brought in by a promoter. This had been the trend all across Ontario, as a matter of fact all across Canada. Groups will not come in and be promoted by the federation. The activities of the Federation of Students could only be limited by the amount of involvement by the number of students in,the campus community. Like I have stated time and time again, if there is anything in the Federation of Students you feel we are not doing, then we _invite you to come in and start.
Administrations and. students governments typically have a somewhat wary relati&ship. Generally, administrations are hostile to such notions as student-run buildings, and* i equal representation on university committees. What do you think is the best way of representing the student interest in these matters? * ’ Assmann: I think we are at the end of an era in student demands for representation on the qertain areas of the university community. Since 1968, not only on this campus, but on most-. campuses across Canada, there has been an emphasis placed on gaining representation on the Senate or the Board of -Governors-or the equivalent. To a certain extent we have been successful, but to a large extent this has proven

the

to be ineffective. We have’ approximately ten percent ‘representation ion those bodies at the present time. This is effective in providing input but not too effective in terms of effecting the decisions. The struggle on this university campus culminated in the University of Waterloo act two years ago. Since-then very little has been possible on the scale of the Senate and the Board of Governors. The time has come to concentrate on. the departmental level, to work- towards building 1 course unions in different departments, and get involved in the areas where students are directly affected. The Senate and the Board of Governors are too remote from the day-to-day operation of c the student. In their day-to-day operation, the student-does not run into any legislation that the Senate or the Loadei; If you’ve‘got enough students standing behind you, you’ve got enough pull that they will start listening. Unfortunately, I don’t believe the -students will stand behind the federation; and I don’t believe that we’ll get much of a turn-out for these elections. -
Board of Governors put down: Things such as tenure, firing, hiring, setting of courses, which are all done on the departmental level, that is where the student should provide an input, and that is where concentration should be for representation. This is a long processit w.ill take many years togain a meaningful representation on these committees-but that is the lev$ at which we should work. We should not worry about the Senate and the Board of Governors, which to a large extent are extremely far removed from that average student. We should . concentrate. on things that directly affect us. Telegdi: I believe that an adversary approach to issues that arise between the student body and the administration of this university can only be . detrimental to the interests of the students, and widen the gap that seems to exist between these bodies at the present time. It will be the position of the federation in the future to identify and promote all issues in such a way as to be of mutual benefit to all the students and the administration. In this way we hope to promote a more productive learning relationship which will lead to even greater successes in the next year. To give you some examples from the past, we them from really getting radical. ’ went to Senate and suggested that Dr. Matthews The only way possible is to take little games sell his house; well he did not take this suggestion wherever they’re possible, in the faculties, in the very seriously and neither did the Senate. So support of some faculty members, or somebody, as long as we get some things done; try every when I went to Senate and tried to deal with possible way that is possible, but I don’t believe, some things that were very practical issues that were very much in our reach, I was not given very since the students don’t support the federation, much credibility b5cause I came from the that it’s going to getanything done, and it’s only Federation of Students. ’ up to the students, when it comes to this election, But there are certain things that you can acto vote. complish at Senate. This year, the federation If you’ve got enough students standing behind made a representation regarding the sabbatical you, you’ve got enough pull that they will start listening . Unfortunately, pay to the professors at this university. The I don’t believe the professors at theuniversity are one of the highest students will stand behind the federation; and I paid in- the country. Keeping that in mind, by don’t believe that we’ll get much of a turn-out for increasing their sabbatical pay they would be these \elections. The more support we get from you, the more very well in the top bracket in Canada. On this support we can brihg out to these people, and say, issue we made representation, and the decision to increase the sabbatical pay was deferred. It went “Lookit, we’ve got all these people standing back to committee. This issue will come up again behind us, at least listen to us, please try to and hopefully once more we ~ can make understand”-;and this is the only way possible .representation, and get it deferred once more. that we’re going to be able to get anything done.’ There has been another thing that we have You can’t go up with say twenty percent of the ‘accomplished at Senate this year: we did get a population and say, “Well, we’ve got twenty motion through Senate to ask that the Senate percent of the people standing behind us, listen to committees follow rules and procedures--at the us’) ‘They’re, just going to tell us to go away, ’ committee level._This has not been the case in the they’re going to go on to their business; forget past3 hopefully this will be the case in the future. the students aga?h. ,Chevron: David, you said-that you wanted to We asked for recognition at the Senate level for the Federation of Students; we did not get it. But press the students’ cause at the departmental we will be asking again in the future. Qne of the level; I was wondering whether you’d follow a ways that we have been approaching Senate t-his ‘proper-channels’ approach to doing this? year is to get the backing of all the various I Assmak: I -feel that that’s a level where we could societies on campus, so when we go up to Senate, initiate action-<try going through proper we know we have the support of the campus channels, and having once gone through the community behind us. process, we’ll have to evaluate how it’s worked, At the past month’s federation and society perhaps think of other means of trying _ to- get conference, we exchanged -valuable information. representation if it does not work out the“ way with the_ societies on how they might improve we’d like to see it. their representation.

I believe that going out there to the individual faculties, getting Telegdi: I’ve got a couple of points to make,,and Number one: recognition there, then going to senate, is .

Most of the decisions are made at the talked about, how do we get representation at the undergraduate council level, and those are the faculty level. I’d suggest that this is an area that decisions that affect you most directly. we can use the societies, <and have the societies Loader: I agree with Dave and Andy on the point help us as we help them in return.

I don’t feel they’re really interested m Students has, in relation to the Senate and Board what the students feel, other than trying to keep J
of Governors. Now; this c is definitely an area wherethe societies have to be involved with uswe cannot do it alone. I’ve just got one more point to make:. throughout the past year, when I have talked to the administration and some members of- the Ministry of Education, and some other government bodies, the point was brought up to me time and time again-are the student governments I representative? I find this question -for the most part very annoying, having to legitimize. our existence. So, keeping that in mind, I would like to ask you to make the effort on the 13th and the 14th next week to come out and vote. Thank you. Loader: I feel that presidential elections are a farce, as they are now, because they don’t have students behind them. The only way that any power to anything is going to be through the students. .We have to have a turn-out to get something done. No matter who you vote in, it’s a point that we need your vote, we need the statistics to work,with. And as for the platform of the other people, I don’t think I should comment on it. Assmann: I also have a brief statement, and I’ll only talk about one ’ aspect-that’s the federation/societies relationship. I feel, drawing the analogy againeetween the provincial and, federal governments, that, firstly, the provincial governments could not run the federal government w,ithout regional disparity getting even worse than it is now. Some areas. are stronger than others, and, in the case of the federation, if the societies ran the federation, then the students that would benefit most would be the .ones in the societies that are the strongest. There are a number of people that aren’t represented adequately by societies; there are a large number that are. But in order for the federation. to be equitable to all students, it should be a separate power structure, not dependent upon the societies. I feel that interaction is important, but I don’t feel that the societies should control the -federation. Chevron: That last question read: “What did you think of the other candidate’s platforms?” The only candidate who answered that at all was David. Could we hear from you all again? Telegdi: Unlike the chevron, I give credibility’ to the intellectual process of the electorate, and let them decide, what they think of the different -peoples’ platforms. Loader: I have nothing further to add.

Musical happenings Among the musical performances on campus which are supported by the $8,000 which is being shelled out via the Federation this year are several noon-time concerts in the Theatre of the Arts. Most of these are and some a lot pretty good, better than that. There were two last week: Steve Kusnir’s classical guitar recital on the 29th, and the University Madrigal Singers on the 30th. Both did a batch of the repertoire for their respective media. In Kusnir’s case, pieces from the sixteenth, eighteenth, and twentieth centuries were featured, including an arrangement of the Fugue from one of the Bach unaccompanied violin sonatas. It’s not an easy piece, and while Kusnir has dexterity, he falters a bit in both and tone in such rhythm material. Others, such as the opening Pavane by Luis Milan, went better. ,We can look forward to more from this developing musician. The Madrigal Singers are a seasoned group by this time, and their varied program featured some enlightening introductions and explanations, as well as ample program notes. Most of their material was from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, by Italian, French, and English composers who brought the madrigal form to a level of high art, and evident affection for this music shone in their quite polished performances. Among the highlights of the recital was Monteverdi’s “Ohime”, a passionate and dramatic piecedone better than bn their appearance in the “Music Four”
Renaissance concert of two weeks earlier. One of the prime desiderata in this kind of music is careful attention to balance and intonation, and the group was in good form this time out. A tendency for the top soprano, Marg Elligsen, to be somewhat overshadowed was in evidence, and the attempt at a madrigal by Claude Debussy at the end was pretty much of a disaster in the otherintonation department; wise, things went well. They also put the audience through a new (because old) version of Three and the crowd Blind Mice, seemed in good voice too, even if 150 makes for a rather oversized madrigal group! Last weekend the fifth K-W orchestra concert of the season was presented in the Humanities Theatre, this time with the University of Guelph’s choir, and guest-conducted by its. director, Nicholas Goldschmidt. The Guelphites sang in Luigi Cherubini’s Requiem Mass, a new one to most of us: It’s a strong piece, reminiscent in general character of the great Requiem of Mozart. That’s rather unfortunate, for Mozart’s is unquestionably the greater piece, and my listening tended to be marred by invidious comparisons . People were remarking afterward that it sounded like a dandy piece to sing in, but they weren’t terribly turned on as an audience. Apart from all that, it was nice to hear Guelph’s chorus, which is a fine one in many ways. They have an extremely clean line, and a lot of well-trained voices which somebody has managed to blend skillfully so that nobody sticks out. The
results are well suited to this basically late-classical piece, but it seems doubtful that they have the tonal weight which would be required for things like Brahms, for instance. The women sounded a bit too much like boy sopranos, and their dynamics seemed rather restrained. But it’s probably the finest choir in our area, even so. The orchestra alone also did Mozart’s overture to The Marriage of Figaro, and Haydn’s 96th Symphony. Goldschmidt has an energetic way with these marvellous pieces, Iwhich is mostly to the good; but perhaps the KW’s strings aren’t yet up to putting them over as one would like. The Mozart had pace, but lacked sparkle; and a sense of inner detail, and consequently of that good-humoured polish which is the hallmark of Haydn’s symphonic masterpieces, seemed lacking. (To see how these things are supposed to go, try the superb performance by George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra; he, as no other, shows ’ why Haydn is one of the handful of supreme composers .) The orchestra itself appeared to be down from the peak it seems to have reached in its performance of La Boheme a month ago, or of Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra a month before that. Perhaps the return of Raffi Armenian to the podium will rectify things. ********* Things to come: Alfred Kunz has hopes of producing two more concerts this year. We have nearly resolved a financial problem that threated a projected Concerto program, wherein Joanne Elligsen will repeat her Beethoven 3rd Concerto, and Arthur Tau, who did such splendid work a year ago in Mozart’s 23rd Concerto, will have a go at the 21st (known to many from its background role in the movie “Elvira Madigan”). And on March 16th, the University Choir will put on Bach’s 4th Cantata, “Christ Lay in the Bonds of Death”. There’s also a St. Matthew Passion coming up, done by the K-W Symphony, Kitchener Bach Choir, etc., in Galt on March lOth, with Armenian conducting. That should be a winner. -jan

Joudry is a playwright. It is natural that her tour de force is setting. The scenes with characters studying and moulding each other are brilliant. She has an eye for the right cup in the right place and the right word from the right mouth. She writes: “The ‘motive tind theme of my life, as of my present novel and all my future is This first novel by Patricia Joudry, works, present and Canada’s Woman of the Year-1956, is a Wholeness . . .Unclusiveness . ..and this has I evolv’ed\from my researches into the cause love story. and purposes of our existence.‘-’ It is a novel which probes man’s funIn-a gabled house by the sea, on the damental conflict: the need to affirm the self and at the same .time unite with others ‘Pacific’ coast of Canada, two young people each other.

of the
of a-:president
Executive Ac$on tells the tale of “the assassination of an American President .” /The assassination is Kennedy’s and the tale is a hypothetical conspiracy. The, movie itself is not exciting-that would be hard considering the ending has been known for ten years. However, the ‘validity of the movie rests in its ability to create within the general ,audience an initial awareness of a conspiracy responsible for Kennedy’s assassination. The conspiracy itself is indicative of the -American political power machine. The conspirators are not left-wing lunatics but respected well-placed right-wing extremists. One conspirator is a Republican senator, another is a\ major industrialist. The assassination is organieed by an exCIA agent. The assassins are lower echelon ex-CI A agents who lost their positions through the repercussions after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Original film clips of Kennedy speaking on topics such as integration, test ban treaties and deescalation of the Vietnam War are integrated very well into the movie and used to enlarge support for the conspiracy group. The Senator is finally brought in by Kennedy’s announcement of impending meetings betweeen the USA and Russia to establish nuclear test ban. treaties. , The group expresses typical fascist philosophies especially on the iuestions of racial equality and “creeping communism”. They want the Vietnam War escalated in ‘order to get a foothold for “democracy” in Asia. They also see the War as’a population control that will end only with white supremacy. The only motive for the War that the conspirators neglected to mention is economic profit. ’ The conspirators are drawn together by a fear of Kennedy and the potential power that he represents. They recognize his charismatic ’ nature and his “natural ’ leadership qualities”. They fear the familiar political-economic power machine that Kennedy is building (Bobby at the time of\ his assassination was Attorney-
General). Kennedy’s liberal idea&o not come close to the fascists views so that his death is necessary in order to’ eliminate the possibilities of their implementation. ’. The ‘making and breaking of Lee Harvey Oswald- % the most interesting ._ Aspect of the movie. Oswald is picked to be the “patsy” in the assassination. His defection to Russia makes him the perfect “left-wing lunatic”, just the sort who would ‘kill a ‘good guy’ like Kennedy. Oswald is established as a “procommunist ” by handing out I-lend American imperialism in Cuba” pamphlets. An impersonator then builds further proof against Oswald in Dallas. Oswald is murdered when he proclaims too loudly that he is a patsy. The movie closes with a list of inex, plicable deaths of eighteen “witnesses”. These witnesses include the assassins and the man who supervised the actual \assassination plot. , . The movie is co-produced by Dan Bessie and Gary Horowitz. Horowitz and Bessie’s fathers. were blacklisted in Hollywood during the anti-communist era of Joe McCarthy (Robert Kennedy was McCarthy’s righth’and man). Burt Lancaster read the Warren Commission Report before he agreed to act. All actors ’ ’ agreed to work for union scale wages. These points would. seem to indicate strong belief in the validity of the movie. While we do not question the actual fact of the conspiracy we do question the realism and accuracy of the portrayal. Too many points were not explained adequately. ‘Vague references were made to Oswald’s ties to both the CIA and (the FBInothing explicit-The Bay of Pigs was touched on- but not in any great detail. An airforce I plane code book was missing - all the phone lines in Washington DC went dead and yet there were only eight conspirators and eighteen witnesses. The vastness and the political and economic power of the conspiracy were virtually untouched. -perry

For the past week rumors have reached me about one of the presidential candidates campaigning *before nominations were closed and campaigning officially opened. The candidate was Andy’ Telegdi - current fed president. This campaigning took the form of meetings with various student groups, ie. village reps, and church colleges. Don Christie, a proctor from St Paul’s said that although Andy’s comments were vague there was definitely talk about what the federation could do in the future. There was mention ,of a subsidy to the amount of one dollar .per student in the church colleges. 1 We all know .enough about ,politics to realize that .these types of little ‘talks’ even where no promises are made influence voting decisions especially when the ‘talker’ seems to be in some position of . influence. This is illegal campaigning. Andrew, unless you can prove to me and other students that this did not occur, then I can see no reason why you should not be disbarred from the election. E .A. Brown

Looking
back Dear Robbie Scholefield Thank you for your criticism of my review of the Bob Dylan concert that appeared in the Chevron two weeks ago. I thank you because it forced me to get out from behind my critics shield and think about what Dylan “had been saying”. Something*that-I had not wanted to do because of my feeling of disappointment after the concert. . It is true that critics have. been eager to/ ahnounce Bob Dylanls idemise virtually from the time of his first success more than ten years ago. This time, they attempted to present Dylan as a fading pop star making a last ditch (and probably doomed) effort to “stay at the top’?. In spite of your impression of my article, I did not believe this. For me, Bob Dylan had created some wonderful music in the last twelve years, but I was not at the concert to hear “his past hits”. I was not going to see “Bob Dylan’s comeback”. However, by the end of the concert, I felt that this was what Dylan was doing. He had not taken his own advise and had spent most of his two hours. on stage “looking back”. Sure he had changed the beat on some -songs, dropped~ lyrics here and there and even rearranged some melodies. But Robbie, I was disappointed that Dylan had the courage to introduce only three or four-new songs. Songs that, with only one exception, were, at least on first impression, exceedingly plain. \ You say that “Bob Dylan is simply Bob
Dylan” and that I and my ‘rfellow critics” were not able to accept the music as sirnply “music,no more, no less”. But to be honest, to me Bob Dylan was always more than that, he ,was not just another music writer, popsmr, etc etc. He.was ‘someone who caught my imagination, and in’some ineffable was able to express many of the highs and lows that-1 and I think many of us went through. And I, like many of the people in the Gardens that night, was not able to accept the music as music alone. Yes Robbie, Bob Dylan was speaking for a full two and a half hours. And though I was listening, I guess I just didn’t want to hear what he was saying. As Dylan reminded us in the last song of the night, “And time will tell, who has fell, and who’s been left behind, when you go your way and I go mine”. ivau zetidel

He promised a “continuous flow of entertainment”. Why are the first concerts this term in the two weeks of the election campaign? He promised to “deal with issues which are more directly related to the campus community” and named parking and towing policy and vending machines as two issues he would deal with. Had your

Before another issue is allowed to circulate among the students, I feel compelled to voice my protest(s) against the chevron. Coming from another university, whose ’ newspaper I was slightly disappointed in, I looked forward to seeing what U of W had to offer. In the past five months, things have gone from bad to worse. I resent the fact that a portion of my hard-earned tuition, fees goes toward the fiublication of such ‘a . . journal. _ Last year, the paper I had to put up with was, at worst, dull and unimaginative; the chevron is, at best, offensive, and boring in its attempts to sensationalize. I haven’t yet made it through one of theinnumerable articles or reprints on every “ism” in exlstence~ And the illustrations, especially the disgusting example on page three of the January 25 issue, are in the \ poorest of taste. I know that you counter any criticism with-the cry, “ Come andwork for us if you want to see us improve”, but I am sure that ahything I could produce would never be radical enough or shocking enough to even be considered for publication. After all, I am’ not a political left-winger, I have never used drugs, I don’t know anything about lesbianism, abortion, sex operations, or the historical oppression of women; I would never qualify as a chevron writer. Of course, I realize, that a school newspaper can only mirror the interests of ‘the students. It is disgraceful that U of W students allow this kind of representation. Sadly ,-the only conclusion one can draw is that it is an accurate representation. It might interest the editorial’ staff of the chevron to know that there are students on this campus who have morals and, yes, Christian standards for their lives, and who are not satisfied with the type of journalism appearing in this paper. You’ve had your chance, chevron. And you’ve lost it, as far as I’m concerned. From now on, I will read posters and bulletin boards to find out what is going on, and save myself the effort of ever again plowing through your pages. D. Jongsma’ Engl. & Fr. II

are the serious objections raised to the week-long event by groups and individuals on campus, on the grounds that the closure of the campus centre necessitated by the federation’s ambitious plan represented a significant encroachment on the rights of those who were not interested in Octoberfest, and for whom the campus centre had always been ,’ in more than one sense, a f&e building. Some critics pointed out that it would have been possibleand financially safer-to have run the e’vent on a much
ab!e to realize the goal of a permanent pub in the campus-c$ntre. “Right now”, he says, “we are -involved in painstaking political talks with U of W administration and the LCBO.” This is, to say the least, something of a, misrepresentation. Though our chances for a *permanent pub have certainly increased this year, this change is principally due to new licensing--laws, rather than ‘proper management’. With Telegdi or no, the pub will go through. These -are -_only examples, and by themselves they hardly constitute a compelling indictment of Telegdiit is impdssible to convey the total reality ofti a complex issue in the few words allowed a candidate OK a campaigo hand-out. What is bothersome, however, is the absence of even a phrase to the effect that, yes, this year’s federation hastiade mistakes-and, assuredly, it hasand- ‘that next year’s will profit from these errors. It is this apparently complete self-satisfaction that has marked the Telegdi regime from the beginning; an inability to deal with criticism and use it constructively. Andrew_Telegdi is arrogant, and it is arrogance which makesw a dati’gerous politician.

There are two other candidates: ‘Baron Loader and David Assmann. ~ While more than a nuisance, candidate, Loader does not appear t? bring much more than an admittedly refreshing cynicism as qualification for the office of president; t‘his is not enough.
-Loader has no student pplitical experience, lacks an understanding of the mechanisms by which the university operatesin detail,at least-and is not well-versed in the structural niceties of the federation. With these shortcomings, he does not seem ready to take charge of the reasbnably complex org&ism that the Federation of Students has come to be. More credible is David Assmann. Without being forceful or overbearing, Assmann has a reputation for getting - the job done. His experience in students’ -council and other campus bodies; his sound chairmanship of the Board of Communications this year; and his key role in building Radio Waterloo over the past several years all bespeak a competent and efficient leader. His proven interest in both entertainment and educational areas shqld lead to a balanced federation, as-should his ernphasis on - variety and innovation in all areas. It is sl’gnificant that the thrust of his campaign has so far been towards confact with individual students, rather than organisations; this I reflects ’ the concern reflected in his platform for the everyday life of the I everyday student. These factors, combined *with his obvious energy, argue strongly for the choice of David Assmann for the federation presidency. With the support of a committed and active council, Assmann -could help bring about the kind of useful, responsible, and, yes, responsive -federation this university needs -Go badly.

presidential candidates will not reveal one word on Telegdi’s ‘part to indicate that anything will be different if he is reelected; there is no’ acknowledgement * that any of the controversial issues which have blemished the federation’s public, ‘complexion during the past year was wrongly handled, nor that any of the criticisms levelled at the president were justified in any degree. There is a word for the attitude im-0 plied in this kind of behaviourthe-word is arrogance. It is arrogant of Telegdi’ to assume that he can ignore the very real questions raised in many of the-policy decisions taken during his term of office, without having to face the electoral consequences. km” Yet this seems to be the assumption under which he is operating. Take, for instance, an issue which in many ways epitomizes the approach of the TelegdiregimeOctoberfest. In a campaign sheet issued by Telegdi to off-term co-op students, the Octqberfest extravaganza iS alluded to in appropriately glowing tones as “the biggest * entertainment . event of the year”, and so it was. What the hand-out fails to mention a
smaller scale. After the fact, and when the losses had been tallied, even Board of Entertainment chairman Art Ram acknowledged that the scheme had been a mite too grandiose. Equally important questions have been raised in regard to the cavalier attitude on, the part of Telegdi and his lieutenants towards points of procedure, ‘when pushing Octoberfest first throughthe Campus Centre Board-by stacking a meeting; and then through students’ council’without the necessary reallocation of budget. Yet Telegdi does not speak to these points, does nothing even to indicate that he has considered them. Instead, he will tell us that Octoberfest brought out -a lot of students, and that it was “the biggest entertainment event of the year’ ’ . This is arrogance. ’ SThe mail:out sheet also discusses other accomplishments of the Telegdi government over the past year. Among other feats, Telegdi claims credit for helping to provide the ‘propermanagement’ which past federations were unable to muster, and which has brought about the likelihood of being

For nearly twelve months now, Andrew Telegdi has been trying to make himself important. When’ he emerged from a, murky past to contest last year’s presidential election, Telegdi was fairly dripping with obscurity. Nonetheless, an energetic and expensive campaign-financed by a $500 bank loan-rocketed the aspiring decision-maker into office on a platform buoyed .by unlikely enoughlo capture some fifteen percent of the popular imagination. This victory gave Telegdi the_power and exposure he has always wanted-as the-head of a vast corporation with an annual budget of more than a quarter of a million dollars he was in a position to make the choices that really counted; the highest-ranking diplomat and plenipotentiary of an influential student organization he was able t? meet the people who mattered and kiss-ass to still more powerful regimes than his own. It must have been a heady feeling. Andy-had never been a president before, and he was out to make the most of it, even when his immediate move-for a fifty-dollar pay rais<fell through. Natcjrally, there were problems. Determined to be moreth\an a nine-day wonder, the novice politician knew that only a sustained effort would keep him ih the public eye. Accordingly, he kept himself busy as a bird, answering phones, attending dreary conferences, sometimes even meeting with the president of the university himself, and partaking in ‘painstaking negotiation’. His childhood passion for long meetings received its fullest expression during these golden months, as one campus body after another was treated to rhapsodic hours of crispTelegdian oratory. Pounding away at one issue after another, the-determined chief executive appeared at tim$s to be- making little headway in furthering h,$ bold schemes, but moments of frustration were more than compensated for by such victories as the successful bamboozling of the Campus Centre Board, and by the little warm sticky feelings he got when a waitress called him ‘sir’...(Editor goes to bathroom)...nelping out on the chevron this week were: eric robinson, mihail murgosi, liskris, kwas and fuzz, bob hillier, terry olaskey, bob sisler, paul sharp&, john macdonald, phil tatham, grahameaitken, reid glenn, paul mamelka, john morris, Susan johnson, nick savage, joe Sheridan, alan klarreich, rica wedding, g. menzies, donna miller, dave college,,randy hannigan, dharlotte buchan, baron loader, andrew telegdi and david,assman, Chris bechtel, dri, tom marzotto, Stacy- Spiegel, me\ rotman, john broeze, linda lounsbe,rry, jan narveson, gabriel dumont and associates, ann margret, perry coma, doris Wilson, clare mcculloch, michael gordon, jane harding, john buckberrough, ivan zendel, michael zimmer-man, roger .horst and dj griffiths.
