JOLIETTE (CUP )-A general strike involving up to 12,000 workers could be launched in the Joliette region. The action was considered by a ‘common front strategymeeting’ only a few days after a Feb. 4 Quebec Appeals Court ruling restricted picketing at Joliette3 strikebou-nd Canadian Gypsum Co; Ltd. plant. The committee comprises delegatesfrom 70 union locals in the Joliette area; said Jacques St. George. St. George, an official of the’ Confederation of National Trade Unions KNTU), said the meeting decided to send two teams of 15 gypsum strikers each on a tour of the Joliette area to gauge support for the strike action’ The 82 gypsum strikers, members of the CNTU, have struck the gypsum plant since March 22, last year. The main strike issues are seniority, rights, compulsory overtime, retroactive pay and grievance procedures., , A strong force behind the common front strategy committee are the 312 workers at Joliette’s Firestone and Rubber Co. who won a 10 month strike last month. The *Firestone and Gypsum workers combined last fall to make Joliette the centre of Quebec’s labour struggle. A large-and militant picket was successful in shutting down the gypsum plant in September. But on February 4 the QuebecXourt of Appeal overturned last Octobers Superior Court judgement which refused to grant the company .a picket restricting injunction. The Court of Appeal ruling prohibits picketing within 1;OOd feet of the plant. This means the closest picketers can come to the ,front gates of the plant is on the opposite bank of the Assumption River. Protected by the injunction, Canadian Gypsum resumed production February 11 with half a dozen scabs and some sup&visors, said St. George.* Canadian Gypsum is a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Gypsum with.its head office in Chicago, U.S. Gypsum owns over 120 dampanies around the world and realized a net profit of $39 million in -a.

Only 35‘percent of its plants are unionized and many of these are shop unions (unions set up and controlled by management). The Joliette plant produces thermobar, an exterior wall paper, and felt used for construction.

MONTREAL (CUP )-The Mouvement Preogressiste Urbaine (Progressive Urban Movement > (MPU, PUM ) held its first press conference Thursday, February 14, at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal. , Their position was one of principle, stating that they were not a ‘party’ but ‘a ‘movement’, organized by citizens to bring to the surface grass-roots opposition to the Drapeau regime. . “We are an association of Montreal citizens, and many of us are active in diverse community movements in the city, Our members come from diverse social milieus, and occupy various posts, and come from varied ethnic origins. We have grouped ourselves together because we are profoundly shocked with the actual attitude of the municipal government and we are very determined to change it.” Their main concerns are the main concerns which they hope will be voiced by citizens at their open debates. These debates will happen weekly in various ‘cartiers’ (municipal regions) and the present members hope the people at these meetings, will create any platform or political strategy (candidates or not etc) themselves. Looking ahead, Stehpen Schecter, one of the spokespeopledorthe group cited public transport and services, housing, streets and parks as potentially the concerns that people would be most ready to take up. And solidif ication of platform can “only be done by active political involvement of our citizens.” The movement is looking for support from other organizations and movements also. Tenants’ associations, medical ‘clinics, legal referral centres; and the,Milton Park people were mentioned. The topic of political structures was brought up; and the movement people expressed their severe dissatisfaction with the Communication structure now in effect between Drapeau and ‘his’ people. They had no specific structural alternative (save a public auditor) and stated again that this would come from the citizens’ groups and individuals which make up the MPU. “We are very upset at seeing a municipal administration more I and more arrogant and sure of itself, and crushing dialogue with ’ popular groups, the press,-and even the members of council.” Their slogan: “vers une nouvelle politique urbaine” (towards a new urban politics) seems to be a valid summation of their activities to date. and thev still seem to be moving “towards”.

‘concerned segment of the 2,300 math students voted 82 to 17 against the name change, pure math professor Ralph Staal said, “I don:t think it means terribly much because more of the students I talked to were not really informed about wh& the changes would mean.” For example, he said, few students were aware that the change would not affect students now registered in math. The name change, which was narrowly defeated in the senate last year, now threatens to become an annual event, as the faculty of science is apparently adamant in its objection to the appearance of the word “sciences” in the new title. University President Burt sa’id the proposal is a \ Matthews “funny issue)) and added “most of the schools and people in the outside world know what we mean by mathematics here.” One critic of the scheme wondered in a letter to Mathnews whether the name change might give birth to others, such as the “Faculty of Artistic Sciences,” the “Faculty of Scientific Sciences,” or even ultimately the “Faculty of Scientific Mathematical Sciences.” Staal said the new name would remove “unnecessary restrictions” on what is denoted by the degree title and “wouldn’t look as mathematical.” If the proposal, which was ap- . proved by math’s Faculty Council recently, is approved by senate, the computer science student who now receives a “B. Math” would instead get a “B.M. SC. (Computer Science)“. +reston

Athena curlers sweep league

Watching underwater hockey is like watching ,a bucket full of-.minnows-. The most exciting part is when they score, there is a loud clank as the metal puck strikes the back of the goa/,, heads emerge and a chorous of cheers and boqs emanate from the flippered watery apparitions. t

For the last five years, the Athenas have dominated the OWIAA curling scene. This year marks the 4th of 5 championships for the curlers. (last year they won the consolation round.) This year’s team of Pat Munroe, Gayle Bower, Brenda Grant and Anne Mallon-had to work very hard to pull off their 5 wins against no losses. 1 The first game saw the Athenas roll past Carleton 8-3. The Guelph game’was to be an excellent game as the girls had beaten the Guelph girls 2 weekends before but only on the last rock of the 8th end. The Athenas only won 3 of the 8 ends to defeat Guelph ll-5., The University of Toronto girls then poured it to Athenas. At the end of 4 ends the Athenas were down 6-l only to score a 5 ender in the 5th end. A new game now with a 6-6 tie game. University of Toronto took 1 in the sixth and the Athenas took 1 in the 7th. Without the hammer, the Waterloo gals scored 1 in the 8th to win 8-7. The University of Toronto game represents the 1st of the next 3 games that the girls had to come from behind to win. The McGillgihs had the Athenas on the run with the score 7-5 coming into the 8th end. Then the University of Waterloo team scored a 3 ender to win 8-7. In the final game against Western, the Waterloo gals were faced with a tough game on tricky ice. In the 6th end the Athenas scored a 4 ender to tie the game up at 5-5. Western took 2 in the 7th end. Again through good curling by Pat Munroe and Gayle Bower, the Athenas scored 3 in the 8th to win the game 8-7. The Athenas graduate Brenda Grant and Anne Mallon next year so that the front end of the rink will be difficult to replace. Both Brenda and Anne have curled for 3 years with the Athenas. The team standings were : Waterloo 46.5 pts; .Guelph 39; Western 38; Toronto 28; McGill 25; Carleton 18.5. . Wilfrid Laurier won the consolation event. -

underviater! For those who missed it, this “championship” was held at U of W on February 16. Teams entered in this sports spectacle were under water clubs from York, Etobicoke, Waterloo, Western and Kitchener. York won the tournament with a convincing three g,ame total of 26 for and 0 against with wins over Etobicoke, Waterloo and Kitchener .

I The Athena V. ballers have been going full power lately. An -away irip to Windsor saw the girls blank Laurier 15-3, 15-0, 15-10. Last week -Waterloo played a home tri-tournament vs. McMaster and Guelph. Again the Athenaswon three straight in both best of five matches : Waterloo vs. Guelph, 15-0, 15-5, 15-10. Waterloo vs. Mat; 15-8, 15-3, 15-3. _ League play has now ended and by virtue of points, Western sits in first place (29 wins, 3 losses) ; Waterloo second ,(27 wins, 5 losses 1, and McMaster third. Western’s losses have all been to the Athenas. The OUIAA finals are scheduled for this Friday and Saturday in Ottawa. The Athenas will first meet Mat, and shortly afterwards the first place team in the eastern division, the Toronto Blues. The Athenas have decided that team work is the key to success. Working together all of the learned skills into a smooth, easygoing game is essential for victory over former Ontario champs from Western. The girls have worked tremendously hard all season for this big week-end. The top team from Ontario travels to Vancouver for the Canadians next week. Best of luck to the Athena V. ballers in the CUIAA finals. -rook

OUAA

wrestling

’

The weekend past marked one of the toughest competitions between University wrestling teams in Ontario. On Friday the OUAA Wrestling Championships were held at the University of Western Ontario, with, the finals concludingSaturday evening. The Waterloo Warriors placed third (43 points) with Western taking second (54 points) and first place going to Guelph (65 points). The Warriors did very well placing every member of the team, except for one, in the top four. The Wrestlers for Waterloo were, at 118 lbs. Tony Beiler who placed fourth, Jim Skelly at 126 lbs. also placed fourth. Albert Venditti placed third wrestling at 134 lbs. Egon Bei-ler, Gold Medalist at the Commonwealth Games, placed first pinning his first three opponents and defeating his last two by-36-0, and 32-O. Egon also won the Keegan Trophy at this tournament for the most outstanding wrestler. At 150 lbs. Don Spink placed second losing to Clive Liewellyn, first, in a very close match. Fred Seheel placed second at 158 lbs. At 167 lbs Albert Kalbfleisch placed third, Tom Gutoski placed fourth at 190 lbs., and at Heavyweight Scott Marshall placed third. The Wrestling Coach of the Waterloo team is Kurt Boese, considered. one‘ of the best in Canada. Bruce Draper is Manager of the wrestling team. As seen by the standings, our team gave a very good showing at a tournament with better and increasing competition than in previous’ years. Wrestlers who placed first in the OUAA compete in the CIAU this coming weekend in Thunderbay at Lakehead University. Wrestling in Canada is improving due to better coaching and increased international competition.

Dr. 1~.C. Matthews, U. of W. President finally gave in to hold a student voting’arena referendum after noticing the results of the opinionnaire. 3,700 were circulated through Engineering and Math buildings, a basketball game, the Village and Church Colleges. Of the :j’i percent returned, 82.3 percent desired an arena, 73.4 showed preference for a large complex, 8.9 percent desired a small complex and 17.7 percent were not in favour of an are’na. He promised he would try to hold the referendum before final exams, but whether this will be accomplished is another questiqn as he claims clear and

proper wording will have to be researched to eliminate all discreoancies. It has taken five months to get only this far, mostly because of Dr. Matthews reluctance to admitr student interest. Construction costs are increasing 15 percent per year. Once again, time is in his hands. Dr. Matthews said the site proposal north of Columbia will coststudents an extra $100,000 to move services such as electricity and sewage acorss the road. Optometry building facilities cannot be used due to the universities short-sighted planning procedures. When more buildings go up there, they will also be bonusses with this additional cost. At an institution supposedly housing the world’s most eductaed people, and specializing in urban and regional planning, how can we let this happen? Dr. Matthews had better reach deep into his pockets to 11716 11lpay for proper facilities this time at the arena so newe,r buildings can benefit. The city seems to encourage this project as the pressure of ice time at other city-owned arenas will be reduce,d. Perhaps they would be willing to foot the

Sharpe possesses amazing body control and is probably the league’s most valuable player. Phil Smith popped in 10 and Jeff Smith, who spends an unusual amount of time on the bench for one so competent, added 9 for the gryphons. For- the second consecutive home game, there was a’ nearly violent episode when Guelph’s short-statured and short-fused guard Ambrose Campana became embroiled in a vigourous dispute over a loose ball with Phil Schlote. There was much milling about, but cooler heads prevailed. The warriors now advance to the OUAA finals this weekend in Ottawa, with Windsor, Ottawa, and

, Todays OUAA 1 swimming lineup L.

The University of Waterloo swimming Warriors are hosting the OUAA championships today, February 22 at the PAC building, with the heats beginning at 1 PM, and the finals at 7 PM. This years OU’s are bound to be the best ever, and will be an excellent indication of national ranking. The first event of the day will be the 200 butterfly. Waterloo’s Mike Hughes is considered the favourite in the event after recording the provinces fastest time of 2 :08.0. He is closely followed by McConnell of Western, Pearson of Queens and Chisholm, Steele and Eldar of Toronto. The secondievent will be the 50 freestyle. Toronto’s Jim Adams is by far the favourite here after - recording 21.6 earlier this year. Fighting for second position will be Waterloo’s Dave Wilson, Stacey Spiegel, Bruce Murray and Louis Krawczyk. Others in the event that . should prove tough competition are Steplock of McMaster and Sheppard of Western. The 200 yardbackstroke is next; Waterloo’s Rick Adamson, Jim Low, Tim Wilson and Eric Robinson should all do well in this event. Competition will come from . Vanular of Toronto, McConnell ’

and Chesworth,of Western and Eckstrand of Ottawa. The 200 individual’ medley could possibly be an open event, depending upon who decides to swim. Many of the better swimmers might be used for the events before and after this. Predictions are that either Adams or Wilkin of Toronto will swim here, both having the best time thus far in the province. Pearson of Ottawa and Sheppard of Western may also place well here. The 200 freestyle is going’to be a close one. Waterloo’s Dave Wilson will have to fight off Mike Guinness, Shawn Laari and Dave Wilkin of Toronto. Ian Taylor of Waterloo will likely swim this also and should place near the top. Waterloo’s Doug Munn and Randal Phillips will be fighting for a place in the 200 yard breastroke. John Sebben of Toronto and Bill Paveley of York are ranked at the top in this event. The one meter diving will start at 9 AM. Lester Newby, Waterloo’s defending champion will see some tough competition from Fin Temple and Alex Lau of Toronto, Larry Cibolski of Western and Ed Duncan of Guelph. Ken Hill will

Laurentian. Even if they have a bad game there, or again fall victim to the Lancer Hex which . has *plagued them in the past, it does seem likely that this steadily improving team will make it to the CIAU championships. The national tournament will include eight teams this year, two of those from Ontario. In addition, there will be entrants euphemistically termed “home area” and “wild card” teams. It seems the CIAU directors realize what :effect the warriors will have on the gate and crowd enthusiasm at, the tournament to be held in Waterloo.

Ian Taylor of Waterloo will have to contend with Toronto’s Guinness, Laari and Chutter in his fight for a medal. meet’ will continue The tomorrow, but the entries cannot be posted until then. Any person at all interested , in swimming should be sure to make it to this exciting meet. Swimmers at this meet will be attempting to qualify for the national championships (CIAU’s), next weekend in Sudbury. Waterloo is hoping to qualify eleven Warriors, to escort the eight Athenas who qualified already last weekend in Ottawa. --eric robinson e

B-ball is cap.itol The basketball warriors scored two victories over c_the guelph gryphons this past week; the first, Saturday in guelph by-an 85 to 60 scored clinched first place for McCrea and company; I Tuesday saw an 84-78 warrior victory in the OUAA quarter-finals at home. . Tuesday’s game was highlighted by numerous fouls on both teams, as the warriors displayed a notable talent to play basketball without Mike Maser . Moser spent nine minutes on the bench with three fouls at the end of the first half and opening moments of the second. During this time period, the warriors began nervously, but maintained a 41-36 half-time lead, which bulged to eleven as thesecond half proceeded. Clutch shooting by Briggs, excellent defensive work by _Simons and Smeenk on the gryphon-gun Bob Sharpe, and solid quarterbacking by rookie guard Larman featured this portion of the game. The warriors’ trend toward consistency in the past two weeks seems to coincide with more playing time for and added confidence displayed by the patient Larman and his fellow rookie Flash Scott. Despite his reluctant sojourn on the bench, Moser found time to score 29 points with customary excellence. Briggs added 22 and scored when it wasneeded most. Simons and Smeenk dunked 11 and 9 respectively. f The most compelling figure on the floor, however, was Sharpe, a 6’3” forward and former warrior of about four years ago. He hit for 35 points including 14 field goals scored in every conceivable way.

A run away 77-38~ictory c%er Laurier cleared the way for the Waterloo Atheha basketball team to travel to Ottawa this weekend to play in the quarter finals. It was the Athenas all the way; they bounced to an 77-4 lead in the opening minutes and there was no holding them back. They worked the offence very well and the shooting was exceptionally good. The Athenas shot 57 per cent from the floor and from the fou! line an impressive 73 per cent. Unfortunately one member of the Athenas won’t be on the train for Ottawa, and that is judy Halako. She was coming down from an offensive rebound, twisted her ank(e, and now has a bad sprain and torn ligaments. Once again McKenzi‘e lead the scoring, as she blossomed with 78 points: Tatham followed with 74 and Parker had 70. Copy apd photo by phi1 tatham.

Swimmin’ women

First place and the league championship are becoming old hat for the Athena swimming and diving team. At the University of Ottawa this past weekend, the women retained their title winning the fifth league title in just six years of competition. in Ontario university swimming leagues. pled by Captains Judy Mathieu and Maida Murray who each won / three events, the high spirited squad of twenty, ended the two days of competition with 350 points, some 27 ahead of Toronto who came second with 323. I Western placed third with 314. In all ten teams were in at the championships. Besides winning the Ontario title, the ‘swimmin’ women probably will have eight team members going to the national championships to be held at Laurentian University, Sudbury next weekend. Three, Judy Mathieu Maida Murray and ,. Margaret Murray were automatic qualifiers, coming first or second in an individual event while another five are put on a national ’ points table to be ranked with all swimmers in <the country. These include breaststrokers Liz Saunders, and Maryanne Schuett, sprint freestyler Debbie Farquhar, and distance freestylers Cathy Adams and Brigitte. Zirger. Diving Coach Marnie Tatham was also selected as Ontario’s conference diving coach for the nationals. .’ Coach Robert Graham who was elected 1973 university swimming coach of the year in 1973 and the women’s coach to the Moscow World Student Games said after being ceremoniously pushed in the pool that this win by the Athenas was “the best one of all.” This team was not the strongest he has had but it was by far the most spirited. Every swimmer on the squad excelled when in the water and when not swimming cheered their ~fellow. swimmers and divers at every turn or bounce off the boards. Even the long 9 hour ride back to the university and getting in at 5 am was not enough to quellthe enthusiasm of many ! Judy Mathieu will be the first Athena competitor in anysport to make the national championships in each of the four years being a student at Waterloo. On the weekend she captured the 50-yard butterfly event in 29.2 seconds and the yard fly in an excellent 1:05.8 seconds, a full four seconds ahead of Western’s Joanna . Grinter . Maida Murray, in her second * year with the Athenas won an easy victory in. the 400 yard freestyle going a fine 4 :27.2 and more than nine seconds ahead of Toronto’s Joy Stratten who was also a member of the Athenas last year. Maida also captured the 100 free in 59.4 seconds, almost two seconds ahead of Toronto’s Marilyn McCormack, and the 200 yard freestyle in 2 :07.5. Marg Murray set a new team record in the 200 backstroke and going a life time best of 2:25.7 seconds to capture second spot behind former 1972 Olympic competitor Jane Wright of Toronto. Marg also came second to Wright in the 200 individual medley in a time of 2: 28.4 while placing fifth in every fast field for the 100 backstroke. 100

The Athena’s fine breaststroke swimmers, Maryanne Schuett and Liz Saunders placed- third and fourth respectively in the 100 and 200 yard events. Maryanne also captured ninth palce in the 200 IM in a judges decision over a Toronto swimmer. Chris Lutton, in her final year at the university swam a great 200 yard breaststroke placing fifth in a time of 2 :58.5. Chris, who has been a national competitor for the past three years missed this years team by less than one-tenth of a second in the loo-yard butterfly. She did however place first in the consolations in the event and third in the consols of the 50 fly. In the freestyle events Debbie Farquhar hit he national time standard in the 50 freestyle going 28.0 and placing fifth in the finals. Debbie also placed fifth in the 100 freestyle and second in the consolations of the 50 butterfly. Meanwhile Cathy Adams, had a rough first day swimming the 400 yard individual medley, the 400 yard freestyle and the 160 fly events. Nevertheless Cathy came through getting far below the time standard of 5:lO.O in the 400 free, going a fast 4:54.0 and winning the consolations. She was fourth in the 400 IM and ninth in the 100 butterfly. Laura Foley another senior who has been a solid competitor in each of her four years at Waterloo did a lifetime best in the 400 IM going 6:09.7 and placing sixth while Jacy ,Luty swimming her very first 400 IM picked off eighth place for the team going a great 6:18.9.

Brigitte Zirger who decided to come out of retirement after the fall and began doing sensational times, continued breaking lifetime best times and hitting the national time standard in 4OOzfreestyle going 5:08.7 in the Friday heats. Brigitte also placed third in the consolations in 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard free, the latter in anoher lifetime best’ of 1:03.9. Other great swims .were by Peggy Graham in the 100 and 200 backstroke placing fifth in the consols, Mayanne O’Neill swimming her very first loo backstroke, Andrea White in the 200 free and an honourable mention has to go to Sandy Brazier who was DQed in the 100 breaststroke but thinks the refs were blind. Divers Jane Williams, Penina . Weinreich and Judy Kirk all placed in the consolations on the one and three metre boards and picked up valuable points towards the team total. Both Waterloo relay teams came second in the meet. Marg.Murray broke the 100 backstroke team record leading off the medley relay going a 1 :O8.8. I The 400 freestyle relay playing it safe with slow relay takeoffs to avoid any possible disqualifications had, as its members, Zirger, Adams, Farquhar and Maid’s; Murray. In all there were 33 best performances of the year, 23 lifetime best swims, three team records and one league record shattered out of just 43 swims by the Athenas-a, sensational championship. feat.

I will state briefly what I would like to help bring about as a member of council. First of all I would like to see the strength of the Federation in the hands of the student’s council which was formed. for that purpose. ’ Council should be more representative of ‘its _ constituencies than it is at present, The societies / should have less power over the Federation but at the same time they should be autonomous and ,have more involvement with their own faculty: For instance, the Arts Society should be_ delivering far more to its students than at , present. The- Chevronand Radio Waterloo are .both very important parts of campus life but they should be rounded out more to give a really complete view of life; not just on campus but of the whole world.The present Federation “administration” *will perpetuate the mess that I&W exists< within the ‘Federation of Students. Therefore you need a council that is directly responsible to the student bodynot to societies (which in the faculty, of Arts represents _- virtually noone.) . Neil Dunning L

I believe that the student federation should play an active ‘role in educating and organizing students towards a fundamental Voverturn in the ~ social relations within ’ the university and in society. I ‘am for victory of the liberation forces in Southeast Asia who are - struggling against regimes which are puppets of the American state. I support the ultimate victory of the liberation ” forces in Mozambique and Angola fighting a war .against the Portuguese ycolonial and racist regime. T.he student federation and students on this, campus should voice their solidarity with these revolutionary movements ‘around the world. The students should also give their active support to workers in Canada and Quebec in their struggles against the capitalist owners of industry., , The present. policies and the direction of the Chevron are in general,correct and I am opposed to any censorship of this paper by the Federation. There are other views on this campus held by the publishers of the Coryphaeus and Telegdi supporters to which I am fundamentally opposed.

Theoretically each of the Arts’ candidates has a fifty percent chance of winning a council seat for there are four seats and eight candidates: The winners will probably attend the bi-monthly meetings without any contact with the average student and vote which ever way they want at

that time. In all likelihood they will not even remember to bring their agenda with them or bother to do any research on any of the items on the agenda. I have no intention of voting/for something I know nothing about as many representatives did this past year. With the exception of summer meetings, I attended all but one of the council meetings. . It was my impression that many of the representatives wished they were home watching television instead of some Board Chairperson. To be effective you must be interested and involved. I can promise to work however I cannot pr,omise to make the Federation work. I can promise to try and get input from the average student however I cannot promise a response to my appeals.

My name is Sandy (Andy) Moroz and I am a third year honours economics student. In the past I have been a Federation council member, 197172; Village II pub coordinator, 197273; Art Sot social director, FalI 1973; Economics Club -Executive, 1973-74; Concert Coordinator for the Board of Entertainment, 1973-74; and Vicechairperson of the Board of Entertainment since , Dec., 1973. As reflected by the positions men_ tioned above the area I am most interested in is entertainment. If elected, I will push for the permanent pub in the campus centre and for a small concert series that is now in the planning stages. However, I do not believe that the role of the federation should be limited to entertainment. In my mind the Federation of Students exists to serve the needs and desires of the students. Unlike some people involved in the Federation, I do not think the students _wants and desires - should be molded. Instead the activities ‘should be based upon what the students want. This year a Campus ‘Centre Forum series was Z initialized, however the direction it took-did not receive significant student response in most cases. I would like to restructure this idea by -first, reducing the number to allow for more money per event, second, bring in speakers of greater expertise and popularity, and third, change the topics to the Canadian scene. This is but an example where a change in direction is required. In the past three years of active involvement with the Federation, I have seen many ideas and activities fail. Some may argue this statement, however, I refer to famrre in the sense of no student response. It’ is the are the Federations prime students who responsibility. . The Federation of Students exists to serve the , students and if elected, I will serve to meet this end. Sandy Moroz Arts

When I was asked to run for the science society council representative, I decided to on the fact that there would not be a great deal of time involved. As most of ‘you in science reahze, little time is available for extra-curricular activities. But if some timeis not made available in this area, this will even lessen the chance of “a science student to- take part in extra activities such as science w.eek, presently taking place and various wine and cheese parties throughout the year. Since I have no experience with Sci-sot and do not really know all of its functions, it is hard for me to say what I intend to.?do. Most of you are, however, the same way, not really knowing anything about Sci-sot. So hopefully next year there can be more communication with the science student body in hope of understanding what Sci-sot can do for you. k Also there seems to be a need for better staff student relations in the science faculty. If we strive to change this through more professorstudent social activities then maybe each group will understand, each other a little better and create a better and more pleasant atmosphere to work and learn in.. + Ron Blackport Engineer

STUDIESI ~- -

In the preceding. years many of our fellow students have deemed- that the Federation of Students is doomed. I disagree. In council next year I would like to join other council members in erasing any such predictions. Although there is at present a lack of effective leadership and cooperative spirit -within the Federation, I promise that with my fellow councillors I will work to add strength and direction to the Federation of Students. There must be maximum participation of each council member in the various functions of the council if we are to achieve a strong Federation. I will not act as a “rubber stamp’.‘, but as an actively involved concerned council member. My interests lie- in improving the process of education by working on various faculty-student liason boards. I would like to work for improving the student’s quality of life by working on certain resident life and enissues as housing, tertainment. Most important I want to.etcourage a spirit of co-operation and participation within the Federation and council. Michael Gordon Environmental Studies

The Federation of Students is the vehicle through which students of our university have chosen to provide themselves wit,h services, student representation on important governing improvement of relations bodies, with the community, and co-ordinate the activities of all students on the campus. If the students of this campus wish to express about the -Federation operation I \ their feelings hope they will take this opportunity to do so. * I am a candidate for a position on our Students Council, specifically I am seeking the opportunity The grad students on campus tend to be “the to represent all H.K.L.S co-op students, and their sandwiched between unlost, constituency, interests. I feel there are two distinct groups dergrads and faculty. This is unfortunate as the existing within this faculty, having differing grad students, by virtue of their experience, have interests and aspirations. a great deal to offer both -sides. Because of this, if I am elected I will endeavor The Federation of Students has two graduate to bring about better representation for these two seats, ancl- the grads in those seats have their groups through recognition by the Federation, main virtue as resource persons, and as and possible creation of a new seat on council. stabilizers to keep the Federation in touch with I will give my complete support to the reality. revitalised Kinesiology Students Association, I have had experience in student government, and the Recreation Students Association.

This experience, societies, and if elected I will attend both plus a good, feeling for the temperament of societies’ meetings to give reports of the graduate students on this campus, leads me to Federation meetings. believe that- I will be able to serve the grad I would also attempt to receive studentstudents well as one of their reps to -the opinions on the issues of these meetings, and be Federation. --open for recommendations at society meetings.

Due to . the ‘increasing need to make the Federation a credible organization, and one that is recognized by the general student body, (although I am specifically concerned, with the Math population), I feel that now I am prepared to give some direct input into the decisions made ’ by the Federation council. Having been president of Math Society for the past year, I think that I am in a better position than most to understand how the Math . population feels on certain issues, and a relating of these opinions is most important if the Math student at all cares in what direction the _ Federation council moves. In any event, it is most ,important, as a ‘concerned’ Math student, you vote for the Federation rep(s) running in your constituent.

I chose to run for math representative on the Federation council because I felt that it was important ‘for math students to have people in this po’sition to keep them informed as to the council’s activities. It looked pretty sad for math students at first s when it appeared as though enough math students couldn’t be found to fill the positions available on council.. But I’m glad to see other people have also realized the benefit of having arepresentative on council, and to run as a candidate.

My name is John J. Long, candidate for Mathematics rep on Federation council. Below I’d like to provide my platform for you, the Mathematics student. The federation-student and federation-society links must be strengthened. With strong societies I feel that we can strengthen rather than weaken the federation’. To do this the lines of communication must remain open. As a Math rep on council I feel I must help improve the Federation channels of communication which I feel have been improving but still can be improved a great deal more. I intend to report regularly to the Math Society council as I did when I was on the Campus Centre Board. Also I feel that council reps should regularly hold constituency meetings, and it is my aim to do so. It is my opinion, like the opinion: of what I believe in is the majority of the students think, we should have a permanent pub and I intend to support the Board of Entertainment in its efforts to have this pub and its efforts to run entertainment efficiently so that it could benefit the students the most. As well, I believe that the increased services

and make themselves more readily accessible to their members. The student body as a whole should be the group that the Federation’s interests should be . directed to- not the societies. The societies have a place in the university but not one of controlling the Federation. Council can play a very important role on this campus and get things done in the interest of alI, but not until the Federation puts away all’ its petty bickering and personal differences and gets together and works for a basic goal of helping all students enjoy their university years and become more aware of things that are going on.

that the Federationhas provided this year should continue and expand. Ineducation I’d like to see the Federation sponsor mathematically oriented programs and continue support for antiI calendars. As a rep on fed council I hope you feel that I can provide the required leadership and represent you, the Mathematics student at Waterloo, the best. Through my relations with Federation and Society members and my knowledge of those organizations I believe that I can fill these requirements. To accomplish this I would greatly appreciate your support and your vote in the Feb. 27-28 elections. John Long \ Math

I feel communication between the council and ,the student body has to be improved. A group of ,20 people representing a group of 10,000 people needs an organized system to communicate. There are a variety of ways to obtain this; a good one is to use the society newsletters to record the pertinent minutes of any council meeting that relates to the faculty itself. For instance, financial support, if any, of such things as mathweek, or sponsoring a series of lectures such as were presented to math undergrads less than a -month ago. A This is only one-way communication, however, there must be notice made of student response. Surveys carried by newsletters are one way, and surely with the minutes published regularly, response will at least reflect the majority consensus. Communication will be heightened by familiarity and I hope to utilize this. Forums are a good way to know the reps, but to take the math example 100 people were at the forum for president: less than 7 percent. -Why does council, when effectively. organizeo not make a publicity drive to get the reps known? If there was one in October, it seems I missed it anyway. What is needed, in my opinion, is an eyecatching article or two to let the reps be known. If they are known by face alone, even, council may receive more suggestions, criticisms, queries and comments, which is what I am all for. Tom Weller Math

James Uhrig The posters have been up for a week calling for people to fill the seats of Federation Council; people who want to be representatives. I ask your full support to fill the post of representative for the Science constituency. A true representative’s q own inspired ideas about what is right and wrong are no more irn: portant than the ideas of the people that have elected him or her. Constant communication between constituents and a Council rep is possible by telephone, discussion or writing, and no representative can feel competent until he or she has thoroughly explored the views of the electorate. I can honestly promise you that I will not open my mouth in Federation Council until I have completely determined that the views I am expressing are the opinions and interests of the Science students that have elected me. If you have any thoughts or ideas that you think need expression to the Federation, I would sincerely like to hear from you. I can be reached at 7455530 or you can leave a note for me in the Science Society office. Thank you. / . . . a true representative / James Uhrig Sciende * i

just this. Their album, Canadian Sunset -recorded in a suburban Toro$o. apartment, is one of the finest I’ve heard in recent months. It is retiiling for $3.00 in Toronto at Round records and banjo player and journalist Bob Bossin carries it around selling it to everyone he sees. This is how I got hold of it. They- are also able to duplicate and surpass the album in concert. I was at a U of T concert last Friday when Stringband played ahead of Paul Butterfield. They literally captured their audience with their toe tapping country folk music. With a

fiddle, a banjo and the strong voice of lead vocalist Marie i;ynne Hammond, Stringband had the audience totally involved with their tuneful music, .-What is unique about Stringband is their sentimental but often perceptive lyrics. One of their -m&St well received songs is about a fiddle ~player busted for a dope charge..They are worried about what he’ll do in prison without his fiddle. Another tells about childhood and how a young boy relate’s to his father who is a ball player. They also sing some sort of nationalist s?ngs about Canada and a beautiful number extolling the virtues of country music. Bossin plays a strong banjo and Hammond’s voice is just superb. The fiddle player is also great. And in performance they are even better. Bossin is a real ham and they all really have fun with their music. As a prelude to Butterfield; they ‘were worlds apart from the . great white bluesman. But the common theme of the concert was the performers enjoyment of their music. Siringband is a local Toronto group. They have’ not travelled extensively but they played a lot of Toronto folk clubs. ‘Bossin is a real character. An irrepressible banjo player who just refuses to fit a stereotype though MacLeans tried to put him in one when he was their token radical a,,few moons ago. Bossin is rutioured to be the oldest student journalist in history and still writes for the University of Toronto Varsity. He graduated in the mid fsixties. /The next performers at the concert were bl~esmen, Paul Butterfield’s Better Days, the latest Butterfield combo to hit the n&sic scene. Butterfield has recorded aboA nine albums. He has had success in a very selective market, blues fanatics. The last time I saw him wasdin 1969 when he was with another band. His new group istiuch

tighter and smaller, b;t still a top notch blues ensemble. Butterfield is a bluesman par excellence. He really captures the stage with his fantastic energy and his superlative harmonica. The group backing him are each individually good musicians. It, is a five ,man combo with base and lead guitars, two organs (Butterfield plays one _ sometimes) drums and Butterfield on,. harmonica and vocals. Instrumentals are stressed with Butterfield’s strong vocals added for effect. He truly commands the attention of the audiehce and more than once I found myself almost transfixed by his presence. Butterfield proves the old adage that you have to be black to bz,,a top blues man is just so much crap. We’ve known that all along but there have not been an excess of -top white blues artists. Butterfield’s band is good but without Paul it would be just another good tight group. They really enjoyed their music and seemed to reall\y work well today. They played a lot of really tight knit blues with the traditional themes of love, sex and rejection. The lyrics were simple and well expressed. Coming from Butterfield you could really get into ’ them, unlike some of-the almost saccharin blues some people are putting out these days. They were called on for two encores from a standing, cheering audience. They deserved it. The audience got all they could ask for. Attending a good blues concert should be like hearing an admittedly selective slice of life and that’s what we got, with feeling, from Butterfield. Unlike most concerts f walked out with a feeling they really meant it and it wasn’t just done for the money. Something had really happened between the audience and the performers. -Bob

There is. no normality The following review of the Conformist was written in the Monthly Film Review by James D. White. The Conformist will be playing at &he Picture Show from Friday to Sunday of this week, ’ Convinced that, as a thirteen-year-old boy, he had in 1920 killed Lino, an importuning homosexual chauffeur, Marcello Clerici sublimates his crime by conforming as closely as possible to the norms of his society. His father’s insanity and his mother’s addiction to narcotics and gigolos strengtheh his desire for anonymity, and in 193% he is engaged to Giulia, a sensual bourgeois girl of restricted intelligence. ‘A civil servant, Marcello approaches OVRA, the Fascist counter-espionage agency, and offers to spy on the activities of- his former Cladsics professor, Quadri, now an anti-fascist agitator in Paris, -to which Marcello volunteers to go for his honeymoon. His offer is accepted; but when he breaks his journey in Ventimiglia, Marcello is given a gun and told by OVRA agent Raoul that he is in fact to eliminate Quadri. In Paris, warcello takes Giulia to visit Quadri and falls instantly in love with the latter’s young wife Anna. He is dis$oncerted when she contemptuously reveals that she knows- him to be a Fascist spy, and puzzled when he discovers that she is trying to seduce his wife. The two couples spend the evening together, and Marcello persuades Anna to show Giulia Paris before joining her-husband in the country, since he has arranged for him to be ambushed on-his way there. But when OVRA agent Manganiello collects Marcello next morning, he reports that Arina. has left with her husband; a horrified Marcello sits helplessly in the car as Manganiello’s hired assassins stab Quadri to death and shoot Anna as she tries to escape through

the forest. In July 1943, Surprised to learn that Giulia has known all along of his involvement in Quadri’s death, Marcello wanders in Rome through. crowds celebrating the fall of the Fascist regime. Among the crowds in the Colosseum, he recognises Lino approaching a young male prostitute. Frenziedly, he denounces him as a Fascist, and afterwards lingers by the makeshift bed of the young boy. In his screen adaptation of Moravia’s novel, Bertolucci has eliminated all explanations or analysed motivations, as well as any allusions to Mtircello’g life before the moment he first sees Lino (an important omission since, in the original, Marcello savours the delights of killing animals long before he meets the chauffeur, to whose room he is willingly lured by the promise of a gun). The effect in purely psychological ’ of these. changes, terms, is to reduce Marcello’s story to a model Freudian case history; and Bertolucci has been attacked from the Left (already displeased at his taking money from Paramount and daring to combine the profane.subject of sex with the sacred one of politics) for implying that Fascism

is essentially a clinical problem, the result of adolescent trauma or repressed homosexuality. But this seems a wilful misreading of a film which, although retaining Moravia’s title, is rather more concerned with conforrnism than with the individual conformist. The latter may dominat! the film’s structure (we are shown no scenes at which he is not present, and it is his memories -as he travels to Quadri’s assassinationthat ‘determine the sequence in which the events of his life are shown), but he in turn is dominatedby his surroundings. The giant marble slabs of the insane asylum where his father pronounces the film’s sanest statement (“Unless the State conforms to the will of the individual, how can the individual conform to the will of the State?“), the echoing marble of ,Mussolini’s corridors of power, the mockclassical friezes on the brothel walls, even the art-deco of the honeymoon hotel in Paris, attest a similar decadence, a fallingaway from a once lofty ideal. And what Bertolucci offers his audien&-visually -and, to some extent, viscerally-is a demonstration of how style, architectural and rhetorical, seduces intelligence. As Marcello scurriestight-hipped past’ Roman war-memorials or Paris arcades, he appears, chameleon-like, to be seeking to disappear into his surroundings; and Trint‘ignant’s performance, Ruth its tensely controlled speech and gestures, and nervous cerebral ‘smile, marvellously fleshes out the Freudian cliches to create a recognisable portrait of a weak man currying the- favour of the strong and seeking to be assimilated to their strength. The ‘overriding irony, as his father has already suggested and as Bertolucci later demonstrates through words and pictures in Marcello’s remarkable discussion with Quadri about Plato’s myth of the Cave (the confusion between substance and shadow), is that there is no normality. The goal Marcello pursues is an elusive mirage: the carefully selected virgin bride confesses after the ceremony to a six-year liaison with a sexagenarian law.yer - not even sexually are she or the ideal woman, Anna, free from ambiguity or exactly what they seem; individuality asserts itself in\ even the most bureaucratic surroundings, and

Marcello’s expression of solidarity with his society sets him forever beyond the pale of that society’s approbation. Far from undercutting the ,film’s ironic indictment: of attempted conformity, the set-piecesthe two women tango-ing in the Paris dance hall, or the assassinatio_n itself, a deliberately de.based echo of the Ides of March-bring home to the spectator through their’ very stylisation the danger of mistaking beauty for truth or shadow for substance.

Tchaikovsky-The Three Piano Concertos, Emil Gilels and the New Philharmonia Orchestra cond. Lorin Maazel. Axhgel SB 3798 What was the motivation of these records? This is the type of release which kept the classical divisions of record companies languishing in financial misery for years. The tired old repertoire were endlessly reissued into a market already filled with other versions differing drily in the combinations and permutations of artists, conductors and orchestras performing. . Not that there is anything particularily wrong with this version, it is quite competent. But there are dozens of versions of all these concertos in the catalog6s and many of them are much better than these. So why another? Perhaps it_s appeal is thought to be its completeness but even so, there are several other Tchaikovsky works that are concertos in everything but name which are not included here. And as well, in crushing these three concertos into two records the sound has been made noisier than it should be and the music has been robbed of the spaciousness that can really set off a work like this. So, it you’re after a copy of these works this is simply another choice to confuse y&. Not a great one or a bad one but one that is unneccessary. -pete

1 Paint a rose blue Colour the Flesh the Colop of Dust is a play written by Michael Cook and presently playing at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. The entire play takes place around one Set that is representative of a fishing village, ‘th& town of St. - John’s, Newfoundland, in the year 1762. At that time it was little more (and probably a lot -less) than a “stinking fishing village”. As the play opens we are invited to watch a bedraggled British garrison, that has been awaiting r ‘relief for twenty years, hang a local fisherman. We are told that the man .is being executed for ki.lling another in a barroom brawl. Later we are informed that it was because he was too vocal in his protestations against the affluent burghers, who were taking unfair advantage of the tocal fishermen and farmers. The play and the acting makes the year 1762 and St. John’s come alive i‘n an exceptionally vivid way. In the best Brechtian fashion, the various dialects infiltrate the dialogue and can(if you let it) make you believe that you are actually there as the actors and ___actresses gather together, at appropriate moments to deliver, in chorus, a ‘statement of social \ value, as clear and important for today as it was then. These devices in no way detract from the

Monday night Alive Variety, at the Picture Show,’ experienced some lively changes The return of Running Dog and His Electric Lackey with guest appearances by both Kitchen Water and Chicken Foot brought back the much , needed laughter and good times that winter usually misses. With newer material and a bigger band, Running Dog et al, took on an amazing height of absurdity. They have always delighted us with their fine music and strange lyrics, , but Monday night they went into a new style. It was easy to sit back and relax with the fine smooth music. The trick came in trying to remain relaxed through outrageous assaults 0~ the mind, as the lyrics became a little more twisted each song. When a country love song moved into a tale of perversion the brain had a hard time believing what it heard. When it wasn’t enough to manipulate the words, the music began to change rapidly, vaulting ‘from slow and easy to rockin’ boogie in a single beat. It was outrageous and it was good to hear. Running Dog et al, managed to satirize in song almost every aspect of our lives. From love to religion, through every loved addictiop., batik to school days and minorities, majorities, sex and music, it al! got,subjected to a play on words. Even better than the lyrics was the excellent arrangemer? of music, utilizing several styles and rhythms \ that often contrasted heavily with the lyrical beat, enough to turn heads, bring a smile , and usually thunderous applause at their ingenuity. In a particularly mind-boggling rendition of ‘You are my Sunshine’ they managed to combine the new utilization of musical arrangements and -strange lyrics. It left the audience a little startled. That was ,topped by some of their original compositions such as ‘Don’t Do That, It Isn’t Normal’, ‘Strung Out On Smack’, . Twenty Million Things’, and a soulful country ballad about the’ addictions of Cigaroots and Whiskey’ and wlld,I wild women. They certainly have a way with words that has everyone else beat. The only disappointment came when Savage moved over to .acoustic guitar to do ‘Ralph Roberts’ and was defeated by mechanical breakdowns. The noted satirist was greatly hampered by technological difficulties. The end came far too fast, as they wrapped, up their show with ‘Death Did Not Part Us’, a well- known show stopper. Fortunately for the appreciative audience, they did an encore before escaping into the night. The original Running Dog and His Electric Lackeys, with Roscoe

Bell, Phil Elsworthy and the savage were joined in this delightful perfor‘mance by John Koop of Chicken Foot, Dave Pappazian ,of Kitchen Water and drummer Bruce Steel. Together they are reminiscent of Rocky and the Buzzar& and the Nihilistic Spasm Band, with just a touch more class. Good times and good music-all wrapped up in one. Still it would have been much better if they had been in a pub or tavern, where they could @lapfor be& and everyone could get gleefully plastered together. ’ It takes quite an act to follow Running Dog and’ His Electric Lackey, especially when most of the audience is leaving, but La Club Foote, managed to._keep up the trend for craziness. This out of Iown groupconcentrated on blues and poetry, utilizing film media and theatrics to provide a con- ’ tinually moving, changing mood. Their music was more animated hard% hitting bluesy ,poetry, fairly well arranged, good composition and certainly played with expertise. The poetry section of the show was a little- unexpected. After a liitle introductory uncomfortableness in the audience at the seriousness, La Club Foote . settled into a fine mixture,’ using slide and I films {for visual ex- , _ pression and sound effects for other poems. Eventually the mood moved into a lighter feeling and the night ended some relaxing music and smiles. ’ ! We hope to see more of Running Dog (etc.) with even more lively ‘material and better harmony. The trouble they experienced in both d technical and musical hassles will probably be straightened out with &ore practice and certainly more appearances. They are not to be missed, for we need the laugh&r and fun. Hopefully they will become’ regular performers around the city. Be sure to Attend Alive V&iety next Monday night at the Pic’ture Show for Alabaster & Doug Wicken Jazz Quintet will be entertaining. -alison

In most soap operas the good-good is usually a motherly-grandmotherly type to whom all the other characters tell their respective tales of woe. In The Doctors, good, kind, fatherly Matt Powers is the pivotal character who spends more time listening to his staff’s tales than he does operating, or balancing Hope Memorial’s budget. Nurse Kathy‘ Ryker is a typical bad-bad. She is an out-and-out thoroughly mean bitch who always causes trouble and ruins the lives of the other characters.

In fact, my fear has reached such proportions that _I wear a metal identification bracelet which reads not “Diabetes” or “allergic to Sulfa”, but “Don’t take me to / Hope Memorial Hospital! ” Far fetched? Hardly. Millions are intimately involved with the lives and problems of their favourite assortment of soap opera heroes, heroines, villains and villainesses. They write letters to fan magazines anxiously inquiring about the personal lives of the stars, threatening mass defection should Mark marry Susy and leave Mamie, weeping over the death of a special character, and pouting about an actor who has been replaced. Sometimes their passions even spill over into real life. Eileen Fulton, who plays the bitchiest of all the soap-opera bitchesLisa Shea of As the World Turns, once fled in terror from the appliance section of a large department store after watching a taped segment of her show and listening to women customers mutter how much they hated Lisa and wanted to kill her. On another occasion a woman asked her if she was Lisa Shea. When she said “yes”,and began searching for a pencil to write an autograph, the fan began cursing Lisa and beating Fulton with her purse. _ How do the soap operas entice such audience involvement? To answer this, I have developed a typology of soapopera characters-no article written by a sociologist is complete without at least one two by two table of some sort. Here is mine: ‘f

Nora Scott Kinzer soberly dissects ‘to show why soap-opera characters viewers get mesmerized. She offers a clean theory of personality: the good-good, badbad, and bad-good. With the world turned so simple, is it any wonder fans shrieked when the United States Senate subcommittee on the Watergate preempted their favorite pasttime? The article is reprinted from Psychology Today.

TV commercials follow the same pattern and treat women as even more stupid and incapable. As Judith Hennessee and Joan Nicholson reported nearly all the ads show women inside the -home, 43 percent of the time involved in household tasks, 38 percent of the time as adjuncts to men, and 17 percent of the time as sex objects. Earth-shattering problems such as cleaning the toilet bowl, keeping leftover food palatable or making dishes shiny are solved by an off-camera male voice or a man who flies through the window. With a booming, deep voice like Zeus atop Mr. Olympus or Wagner’s Siegfried passing through the Ring of Fire, an omnipotent male rescues a befuddled female from her dilemma and advises, “Use Zappo to clean your toilet bowl, keep your food fresh and your dishes gleaming.” And if the soap heroine never seems to be cleaning her toilet or washing her dishes, it must be because she uses Zappo. ~ When the heroines aren’t getting pregnant or wrecking someonets marriage, they are getting sick. And the female “sick role” with all its assorted baggage of hypochondriacal symptoms is portrayed with antiseptic frequency. Leading ladies never“ suffer from simple influenza, but from obscure diseases like syringomyelia, myasthenia gravis, subacute bacterial endocarditis, meningitis, and sundry brain tumours, not to mention the I perennial favourite amnesia, or its close runner up, partial amnesia. While amnesia is a diagnostic rarity, its incidence on afternoon television is astronomical. Partial amnesia, which means that you remember your name, address ’ and profession but forget little things like whom <you married and why, is not even found in the medical textbooks,. The TV writers deliberately ‘select the most exotic illnesses from the Merck Manual, not only to awe their viewers, but also to keep from .alienating them. Soapopera heroines do not have hysterectomies, don’t have jejunal bypasses, and never endure kidney dialysis. There is, after all, a limit to how much involvement a fan can have with a heroine. The average viewer can enjoy a certain amount of vicarious suffering over subacute bacterial endocarditis, which few of the actors can pronounce, but God forbid that anyone say “cancer”. If things are tragic in Sudsville, they are miserable in ,Lubbock. Every day the television set contrasts Louis XIV with Penney’s best, Saks with Robert Hall’s, Cartier’s with K-Mart, the svelte- heroine with the housewife, and the handsome hero with her husband. When the housewife turns off the TV, looks around her home, glances into the mirror, and greets her husband, the comparison is not pleasant. ~ While soap-opera plots may make housewives feel safe, soap-opera settings may make those same viewers dissatisfied with their own dull lives. And as long as they watch the soaps, things will never be right.

What world? .. It always amazes one how intelligent people can use so much effort and so much paper to say nothing. Although, I would like to commend them for their imaginative abilities. One whole page to discuss a name. The name---CHEVRON. Also for their subtle iYay of plugging Andrew Telegdi’s endearing virtues in front of the--readers’ face. AND - -their attempt to gain - our sympathy by devulging the true story of * the CHEVRON/DUMONTscandal. Well, the effort was fine but the idea and method was all wrong. It saddens one to think that the students of this campus do not find the articles in the chevron as relevant to their situation. If they want to be leaders of the chorus (as the name Coryphaeus suggests) then I suggest they become aware of what it will be like out there when their university glass world is shattered by the others who also want to be leaders of the chorus.

Last week, Alexandre Solzhenitsyn, one of the best contemporary russian writers was expelled from his country, the U.S.S.R., and was deprived of his russian citizenship. This is the lot that the’ political authorities of U.S.S.R. impose upon the dissidents-those intellectuals whose seale of human values does not correspond in their acts or in their writings to the one that these authorities have established for the progress of the collectivity they lead. One can ascertain from Solzhenitsyn’s works that he fully agrees with those economical .and historical ideals of Marx which have presided over the soviet revolution. However he can not accept because he is an intellectual that these ideals can only be attained to the detriment of the liberty of the spirit. .

What is this ‘BULLSHIT’ of a reprint of the last issue of the CORYPHAEUS that appeared on campus this t week. I must admit that I was sucked in by the historical review of the arbitrary name change of the student paper.1 But after reading to the third page it was clear that the ‘REDNECK reactionary group were using the familiar ploy of “Mom, God, and apple pie” in a boorish attempt to rouse emotion (not reason) against the newspaper. I don’t think that the chevron is. the paper it was in 67-68 but it has managed some remarkable editions from time to time. To attack the paper by innuendo and insinuation indeed charaiterizes the general decline in the student body as a whole. In my opinion, Messrs Steve Ireland and Stewart Saxe were in their day, the best thing that could have happened to an institution of this kind and I am proud to h+ave been a part of it. So to the societies and those people who associate themselves with those societies (who by the way generally discard the chevron after a few minutes perusal) I say ‘OFF WITH YOUR HEADS’. Martin K.

Manners? There is a problem, at the Bank of Commerce, which has been bothering me as a customer for some months now. When one is attempting to cash or deposit a cheque down at this particular branch of the Bank of Commerce, one mustwait in line, no matter what the time of day, or the number of customers in the bank. When finally the line has advanced sufficiently to reach the teller, there is a good chance that you will get a girl whose attitude is less than pleasant, to say the least. I feel that a bank is a service organization as well as a money-making operation, and that if the attitude and efficiency of the place does not improve, the students, faculty and stalf of this university will realize that the Bank of Montreal or the Royal Bank, just two blocks away, are willing ‘to provide this to everyone. Perhaps the management should take note. Students may be dealing with the Bank of Commerce now, but where will they bank when they leave school. Because a teller or other staff members has a bad day, or a bad year, which seems to be the case with several of the girls, there isno justification for impoliteness or honest to goodness rudeness to a customer. Certainly some of the girls are constantly alert and pleasant. But even if only one was nasty, she or another member of the staff, ruin that much business or goodwill towards that bank. With all the competition can they really afford it? I would be most interested’ to see if this is just a matter of my -own opinion, although I am sure it’s not.

The following article is translated from Bullitin Populaire and reprinte4 from the Varsity, the student newspaper of the university of Toronto. This is the first of two articles-the second section will I appear in next week’s chevron. Indians, Eskimos and progressive groups in Quebec are opposed to the harnessing of the James Bay region for hydro-electric power. In Mozambique, patriots, under the leadership of FRELIMO, continue to fight against the completion of construction ofthe Cabora Bassa dam. And in Latin America, the most important hydroelectric project of them all has begun; it’s the Itaipu dam on the Parana River in Paraguay. However, this project is also bringing about strong resistance from the affected peoples. In each instance it’s foreign capitalist interests that are financing the construction of these imposing dams; and in each case the hydroelectric power is destined, for the most part to be transmitted outside the countries of origin. Itaipu’s power is meant for Brazil, Cabora Bassa’s for South Africa and Rhodesia, and James Bay.‘s for the United States. In each case the dominated peoples take a back seat to the imperialist interests. The

dams

Itaipu, Cabora Bassa, and James Bay are not branches of t.he same transmission lines; the three projects are linked instead by American imperialism and by worldwide capital&n. Propped up by foreign capital, the Brazilian regime has undertaken over the past few years, a large investment campaign in Latin America. From its political policy of an “open door” to investors, Brazil has become the ideal foothold’ for imperialism, at-- the same time as it plays the role of “policeman” for that part of the world. In Africa, Cabora Bassa symbolizes South Africa’s apartheid policy and the colonialism of Portugal. Harry Oppenheimer is heavily involved in theproject which involves several financiers. Oppenheimer, the king of the diamond mines, enjoys dual South African and Israeli nationality, and is also a director of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (along with U of T’s own Sidney Hermant) . And, at the sides of the Portuguese are the South African and Rhodesian troops who help to defend the construction of the dam against the attacks of FRELIMO.

Paraguay stands out as a ready-made bad example of this effort, having recently signed the Treaty of Itaipu. In the same manner as the other dams, the Treaty calls for the diversion of the parana River. _Itaipu is located in the heart of the vast basin of the Rio de la Plata. The main

Utilized to the maximum, the hydroelectrical potential of these rivers could attain 100 million kilowatts. And, more than electricity, the basin holds immense natural resources: iron and gas in’ Bolivia, the forest reserves in Paraguay and Mato Gross0 in Brazil, and the humid pampa of Argentina, useful for the cultivation of wheat. . Because of .Brazil’s political policy of. aggressive imperialism, the kilowatts from Itaipu will serve to supply the foreign industries set up in - southern Brazil with-cheap energy. ’ A type

A small population of 2.4 million realizes that, today more than ever, it must struggle against the unilateral and reactionary decisions of the oldest dictator in Latin America.

Work on the project has been in progress since 1970 and the production of about four million kilowatts will begin in 1975. The main wall of the dam will be 550 feet high and 1,000 feet long. The dam is planned as one aspect of the base of a future economic system envelopping all the countries dominated by the white, southern Africans. FRELIMO has already destroyed 75 per cent of the means of communication thereby hindering transportation of the necessary material to the.work site.

the most numerous, most powerful, and most united enemies to liberate themi selves. These enemies include: the-fascist and unconditionally pro-Brazilian regime of General Alfred Stroessner, the archreactionary agricultural and commercial bourgeoisie of Ascuncion (the capit,al city of Paraguay), the financiers, and the Brazilian military and American imperialists . In his palace, dictator Stroessner never stops smiling; a smile here and a smile there, business is going smoothly. His generals, and even his own son, work relentlessly to p&h railway lines through the country with the, help of the “international mafia”. And while this is going on 300 political prisioners rot in jail. Paraguay in 1974 is the&me country as the Paraguay of 1954, when Alfred Stroessner seized power in a coup d’etat. The’ dictator now controls the politic@ apparatus, the military and the judiciary. He has governed throughout the years under a virtual’ state of siege, which he only lifts for 24 hours on election day. So it’s not surprising that he was reelected for a fiftee’nth cpnsecutive term to the presidency in February, 1973. The- blessi,ng

of the imperialitits

, Last August 15th, two days after the ratification of the Treaty oft Itaipu, celebrations were organized in the capital city of Paraguay, Ascuncion, to celebrate the start of Stroessner’s ,fifteenth manda‘te. As was expected, Brazil’s minister of external affairs, Mario Gibson Bardoza attended as well as the special envoy of Richard Nixoi, Democratic senator J. Bennett Johnston. Johnston’s visit \tias designed to convey Nixon’s best wishes to Stroessner-best wishes from Nixon, the war criminal and political crook, who’s also president of the-United States. And -Nixon recently described the Paraguayan regime as an “ideal gov&nment for Latin Americans.” For Washington, an “ideal government” is. a government, which, in 20 short years, has succeeded in creating catastrophic economic and social conditions : 30 per’ cent illiteracy, 70 per cent of the people live in slums, 500,OOq are unemployed (out of a total population of 2.4 million), there are a half-million exiles, 300 patriots have been tortured and assassinated since 1954, political prisoners have been detained incommunicado and tortured since 1958 without any prescise accusations or any ‘due process’ of any kind, I frequent massacres of peasants occur, strikes are forbidden, a permanent state of siege has existed for 19 iears, hunger, contagious diseases, misery, exploitation, etc. At the best, the term “ideal”. only refers to total submission to the imperialist interests of the Americans and the sub-imper&ist I Brazilians. The

the last century after a war of extermination directed against Paraguay. At the time of the peace treaty it was decided that the waters wotild determine the frontier between the two countries. More recently, in 196!, a discrete occupation of &e area had been undertaken when a Brazilian battalion had taken up a position aro’und Guaira‘%alls where -Brazil wanted to build a dam. For several years now Brazil has acted .as if these falls belonged to it and that’s why it still continues to occupy the region militarily. The initial Sete Quedas plan foreseen for this geographical location had to be delayed i if not ’ abaridoned, after the engineers had concluded that the granite encrusted cartswould turn the construction of the project into a complex and time-cqnsuming endeavour. The projectwas then trans!erred to the south, at Itaipu, 10 miles north of the Argentine frontier. The dam that is supposed to be built there will be the ‘largest in the world and the lake formed by the dam will cgver important areas of Paraguay and Brazil, thereby concealing the true frontier regions as well as the border. The so-called ‘friendship’ between the two countries is inscribed deeper and more clearly perceived in the desire to solidify the Brazil-Paraguay-Bolivia-Uruguay axis. Strongly backed by the United States, Xhis push’ toward solidarity between the fascists is solidified not. only by political agreements but by vas‘t project of ~ integration communications road and rivers. The alliance is further demonstrated by a recently designed entente to create a multi-national steelworks corporation to exploit the Mutun iron beds, in Bolivia of the richest deposits in the world. The iron would then come frbm Bolivia, the electricity from Paraguay, and the manganese from Brazil. Evidently, the , three countries are getting together to provide themselves with inexpensive products. /

‘friendship’

’ Gibson Bardoza’s visit had ‘a two-fold goal: to cement the links between Brazilia and Ascuncion on the one hand and to ratify the infamous Treay of Itaipu on the other. On April 26, 1973, the two regimes had agreed to build a giant hydro-electric plant on the Parana River, which included the frontier between- the two countries for a distance of approximately 100 miles. The harnessing of the water had deep historical roots; in effect, the region affected was occupied by the Brazilians in

During the 1860’s Paraguay was the most advanced country-on the South American continent-materially and socially speaking-and the only independent one, for all intents and purposes. The country didn’t, at that time, have any links with English banks, as did several other Latin American countries of that period. Indeed, what the United States is to South American now, Britain was to the continent in the latter part of the 1800’s. The War of the Triple Alliance (involving Braz/l, Argentina, and Uruguay) between 14365and 1870 was one of the most atrocious acts of genocide in history. Historians have not successfully reached agreement on the number of survivors of the heroic resistance of the people, but about 70 per cent of the population w?s totally extecminated. ‘Since that time, the Guarani country (taken from the name of the important Indian population of the territory) fell into a state of indeqcribable stagnation ! and misery. Much later, around 1930, the War of the Chaco between Paraguay and Bolivia had at stake the control of the Pildamayo River which would have given iBolivia -acess to the Atlantic O&an. Today, it’s Brazil and Argentina that are trying to make use of Paraguay’s riches. The main objective is to control the hydro-electric potential of the Parana River dn which the economic development of the biggest countries of the contin‘ent depends to a large extent. The politics of Paraguay are those of dependence in the face of American imperialism and the Brazilian militafy regime. \
