After several months of private deliberation the ice arena question is going to be put to the students. It is expected that a referendum on the issue will be conducted later this month. Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of the Athletic Advisory Board, university president Burt Matthews presented his idea on what the referendumshould ask-and also not ask. The AAB made a few’ small changes to Matthews orig-inal draft and now the entire matter has been turned over to the university solicitor to double check the legality of it all. If built, the arena will be paid for by a compulsory student fee charged to all full-time undergraduates and graduate .s!udents. The payment will begin next September even though the arena itself will not be occupied until, at the earliest, October 1975. The fe will be collected for 15 years. The operations of the building will be supervised as follows : “The facility will be operated with an Advisory Board of faculty, staff and students. The students will be in the majority on the Board and will be elected by the students in each undergraduate faculty and in

’ to’

the graduate faculty. The Advisory Board will .report to and be responsible to the University VicePresident, Finance and Operations. The priority users of the facility will be students” (emphasis ‘added). Apparently the administration is hoping to organize something along the lines of the Campus Centre Board-the body that supposedly runs the ‘student building’ on campus. However, in reality the CCB only deals with minor issues and can do nothing without the university president’s approval. For Matthews the CCB is a cheap and easy way to keep students happy and busy taking care of the trivial day-to-day matters, leaving the university. administrators to handle more important business. Federation president Andrew Telegdi has been involved in ‘delicate negotiations’ with \Matthews for some time trying to get a concession on the part of the administration. Telegdi openly admits that he doesn’t believe in student elections-and was trying to arrange for the student representatives on the advisory board to be appointed by the undergraduate societies rather than being elected by - the students.

philosophy on the society presidents is that students are too many elections would not understand with one for this

isEwever, regardless of Telegdi’s hopes, Matthews ignored the request and has insisted that all the representatives be elected from the bodies they will be attempting to represent . In the referendum students will be given a choice between building an arena or not, and a furtherchoice about what sort of arena they want if one is to be built. There will be three varieties proposed. I Arena number one would cost _approximately $SOO;OOOand would be paid for by a fee of $2.75 per term. It would boast a. 200 by 85 foot ice surface, four changerooms, store-rooms for the Warrior teams, washrooms, lounge and -‘concession space, showers and approximately 350 . spectator seats. The building could be used for recreational and intramural activities, practice for the varsity team, and ‘outside’ users. Apparently the Warriors would not play their actual hockey games team and their-scheduled games. in this arena, probably because of the lack of spectator seats, and Also, there would be a floor for I volleyball, would still need to play in the, covering available Waterloo arena.- Varsity games wrestling, concerts, dancing and basketball.

LONDON (CUPI)-British students gained last month as their National Union of Students (NUS) negotiated fare cuts of one-half on most British trains. The new scheme is in effect for a six month experimental trial period. Under this agreement students will also be allowed a twenty-five per cent discount-on some of the nation’s ferries. However, the project is restricted to only full-time college students between the ages of 18 and 27 This means that college students under 18 or over 27 are excluded, as well as part-time students; student nurses and foreign students visiting England on holiday:NUS representative, Paul Connellan, was dissatisfied with the restrictions. In his letter to the government, he said: “We will be writing to you further on this matter, when our board has a chance to give considered reply. At this stage I would only add that I think you are making a great deal of extra problems for yourselves in incurring the wrath of so many students.” Conservative MP John Stokes immediately protested against the cheaper fares. “I think that it is absurd that students belong to a union at all. They are not employees which is the point of unions. They are absurdly pretentious, pompous, tiresome, and totally unrepresentative of the majority of students-they tend to attract the activists.”

The Centre for Continuing Management Education at the University of Waterloo is offering a seminar, April 20 in Toronto entitled Labour Relations for Supervisors and Foremen in a NonUnion Organization. The seminar is designed for companies whose work force has not yet been able to organize. The Centre apparently feels that it is desirable that the ‘workers remain unorganized. The brochure describing the seminar, mailed to Canadian companies says : “So you don’t have a union. Congratulations. In this age of organized labour, you have on your payroll one of your mostpotent assets’in keeping that way : The first line supervisor.” It continues : “If your company becomes unionized, it will not be because of the efforts of union organizers, but due to a failure on the , i part of management. “Protect that non-union status? enrol1 your first-line supervisors today ! ” It does not, however,‘explain what interest the University of Waterloo has in keeping workers without union protection.

VANCOUVER (CUP&The University of British Columbia faculty has voted -to form a collective bargaining unit. The board of governors is in support of the move and some members feel it will help the university to get funding from the government. The provincial government announced that it would freeze university budgets until they could prove that they were being more beneficial to the general community. One board member -admitted that “if the faculty association could show the board more useful ways of serving the public, even if it meant working longer hours, then that would assist the board in getting more money fax the university. ” Students were puzzled by the move. The arts society president commented that he agreed with the unionizing but found it odd, for the faculty to be doing it. They had always been staunchly against -any student organizing. The unionization _move will not affect the current salary negotiations going on between the university administration and the faculty for the upcoming year. One board member was bold enough to exclaim, “we are getting along great”. The university administration sees faculty unions as an inevitable step that will eventually spread across the whole of the country.

all a joke Bemused math building administrators acting on an item which appeared in the official “organ” of the university Wednesday discovered that stickers for signs on doors were a figment of someone’s imagination. The whole thing was a hoax: perpetrated by math professor Jane Gentleman’ and abetted by the chevron.

Gentleman prepared a fine imitation of an official memorandum which said, insuitable officalese, that any notice posted on any door in the math building had to bear an authorizing sticker. Ten of these, the memo said, would be issued to each office in the math building on the first of each month. Each would authorize the posting of one notice during a given month.

The- Elof a Gorge Bridg controvers Y

The controversy about the proposed bridge over the Elora Gorge c,ontinues with both proponents and opponents rationalising their respective positions. The proponents of the bridge. are those residents of Elora who live on the main street, who have been complaining about the amount of traffic, especially truck traffic, along the main route. Presently the main street of Elora is the only route for the trucks which travel between Alma and Harriston, and according to the residents, the traffic is heavy. The proposed bridge, however, _ would allow the traffic from Alma to continue#on the highway, since the bridge would span the gorge, which presently cuts through the highway.According to Wellington County Council this solution is the obvious one; the one which they want to see implemented. Equally obuious, however, but apparently not to Wellington County council is the ecological damage that the bridge would do to that area of the gorge. The structural bdamage that the building of the bridge would haue have on the gorge is one main concern of the ecologists. The, long term effects of car emmisions on the vegetation in that area also has to be taken into-consideration. Beyond the ecological considerations is the

The residents of main street Elora have been complaining proposed bridge as a solution to the problem.

question of the necessity of the bridge. Alternative routes have been proposed, but haue been rejected by the county as being too far out ofthe wayfor the trucks to travel. Also being questioned is the moral right or obligation of the Grand River Conservation Authority, which controls the land in the gorge area, to keep the land for conservation purposes only. Wellington county would have to expropriate the land needed to build the bridge -and highway from the GRCA. However, according to the Conservation Authorities Act the GRCA can only sell, lease or dispose of conservation land 27 it would further the goals of conservation, restoration, development and management. of natural resources. However, at the *last GRCA meeting the members voted sixteen tofzfteen to favour the expropriation of the land by Wellington County. The Canadian Environmental Law Association in the meantime has been helping the opponents of the bridge to determine the legality of the GRCA’s giving up the land to the County.

Tatham. The next year he won the one meter board at the OU’s and came in a close second behind Western’s Doug Darling on the three meter board. At the CIAU’s in Calgary that followed, Lester came third on the. one meter and fourth on the three *meter. With these good performances, the team- nominated him U. of W. Swimmer-Diver of the Year. During the summer Les underwent some mind changes. He began to resent Mrs Tatham’s pushing himwinto dives that he did not want to do just yet. For the whole fall term he found it difficult to practise and spent little time at the sport. His mind was ?&t--on ,diving . Last December he attended a transcendental ditation class and decided this offered him what he was looking for. Coupled with yoga, Lester began spending an hour or two a day putting his mind and body back in a progressive direction, healthy foods and all. -By January Lester was getting back into it again. For two months he worked really hard at it. At the OUAA’s here at Waterloo Lester won both diving events, breaking the old record on the one meter by 39 points and pushing it to 421,64, and bettering the three meter record by 44 points, scoring 446.05. Then last weekend Lester competed in the CIAU’s in Sudbury. After coming a close second on both boards, he was chosen as outstanding diver of the meet for his consistency. This is the first time that any diver east of W&inipeg has taken this honour. Lester’s’ eligibility to dive at a university level has ended, but it is \ the intention of this article to encourage Lester to continue on as far as possible and- get his talent into- international competition, since he has improved constantly since he started the sport. As far as Marnie Tatham is concerned, her ability to coach him to this level does not have to be proven. Another of her divers, Ken Armstrong recently broke the Canadian record on the three meter board -by scoring an unbelievable 568 points at the Canadian Championships in Vancouver last December. Ken went on from there to represent Canada at the British Empire Games in New Zealand. With a little luck, Ken may be-diving for the U. of W. next year. But in any case, Waterloo <is losing a truly incredible diver.

Five years ago a 130 pound first degree of difficulty on most dives year kinesiology student by the increased. For example, instead of name of Lester Newby wandered doing simpler dives, she taught into the swimming pool to try his him to do back and reverse two luck at the sport of diving. Last and one halfs, dives that only the year Lester won the OUAA three most expert can execute well. In meter diving, breaking the old only two months he learned more record by 38 points. He was chosen than he had learned in all his ‘by his fellow teammates as U. of previous years experience. At the W. Swimmer-Diver of the year. As OUAA’s that year at-McMaster he. if this wasn’t enough, Lester this placed fourth on both boards and missed going; to the nationals by year went on to win both one and three meter boards at the OUAA only fifteen one-hundreds of a championships, then went on to be point. Fantastically inspired,’ Lester named outstanding male diver at the CIAU’s after diving to two kept diving all summer under Mrs -eric robinson close second ,place finishes. The following is a summary of Lester’s success story. He attended high school in Bramalea where I he was a “jock of all sports”, including gymnastics, football, wrestling and diving at the community outdoor pool in the summertime. When he first came to the U. of W. he found inadequatk coaching and massive unorganization. Diving seemed at this time to be the best answer as it still involved flexibility and tremendous selfdiscipline. The diving coach at the time was Doug Paton. He helped Lester from October to February when he placed ninth at the OUAA’s on both diving boards. Th-e next-year Lester improved his Ontario standing to sixth on the one meter board and seventh on the three meter. This was Doug Paton’s last year of coaching. In the fall of 1971 Lester had no diving coach. Rolfe Weibe, Ken Hill and Lauri Martin, his fellow divers, all worked together for the term, but improvement was very , slow. It was at this point in time that U. of W. talked Marnie Tatham from Woodstock into being the diving coach, and Lester got the perfect. coach to motivate and /he most teach him the proper techniques, trme at the scorers table is during the diving. when judges scores have to be tabulated, multiplied by the degree of difthat would separate him in future years from ordinary divers.

The engineering course at Waterloo requires five years to complete. This may seem like a long period of time to spend in the acquisition of a degree but the student’s time is spent in alternating four month terms in- industry and -at the Waterloo campus. Because of this, the engineering students participation in campus life is largely restricted to the engineering community. A minimum of 24 hours of classes per week leaves little time for participation in other areas. The task of providing appropriate diversions to the heavy course load rests mainly with the engineering society. The traditional distractions appealing to the engineering student have been the legendary activities of excessive beer drinking and sexual depravity. Seldom is any attempt made ‘to disprove these myths. Last weekend very few engineering students .took the opportunity to participate in a more meaningful pastime- presented by the engineering , society. The sixth annual congress of Canadian a five day meeting of engineering students, engineering students from Engineering schools from across Canada, could have been a much more educational experience than a similar amount of time spent in a classroom. In the following article John Breeze outlines the procedings of that conference and discusses those aspects relevant to the engineer - at Waterloo-how they affect him while within the university community and after graduation.

After getting off to a rather stormy outset, the delegates at last weekend’s engineering conference soon settled down to work. The first night of celebrations left some doubt as to whether or not the Valhalla Inn would survive the five day event; the hotel management expressed grave concern about the activities of the delegates staying at the hotel:. Fortunately, the organizers of the conference managed to convince the participants that they were there to work as well as have a good time. The parties continued each -night but on a somewhat reduced scale. In the words of conference organizer Warren Tumbull, “The purposes of this conference are obvious as stated in the agenda. The social aspects are just as important. Mainly, we’re here to find out what we are all doing across Canada. When it’s over, we ‘should all go back to our respective campuses and work hard to implement the things which have evolved here.” The theme of the conference was the engineers future in Canada and several -prominent dignitaries were invited to speak their mind on some aspect of this subject. Collectively, they presented a rather #dim outlook for one of Canada’s most misunderstood professions. The concensus of opinion was that things would have to change and most of the necessary changes would come from within the profession. The problems of the engineer are unique in that they are compounded by the nature of the profession. The historical concept of the engineer as simply a problem-solver must be brought up to date. The public image of the engineer is not in the engineers best interest. Not unlike all other aspects of Canadian life the engineer is usually taken for granted. This is not in itself a problem. It is made worse by the fact that the only publicity the engineer can expect to get is publicity. When a bridge is built, the - negative only time the engineer is mentioned is if it falls down. D.L. Mordell of the Engineering Institute of Canada did not see this as a problem. “It’s better that it’s taken for granted that we do a first rate are typical of the job .” If these sentiments profession as a whole, there can be little hope that the engineer will ever gain- recognition for the -bridge that didn’t coilapse. Change is necessary within the engineering profession. “The engineer is a victim of -his own success ,” Waterloo president Burt Matthews stated, “he has become a public whipping boy, having imposed technology on an unwilling society. Both the engineering student and the professional must challenge these unfair and untrue myths by demonstrating their ability to adjust.” The engineer must learn to take pride in his work and communicate that pride to the public. Engineers have always regarded each other as professionals but to the public they are seen only as mysterious technicians. There are several phases to implementing this change of image. The first step is to eliminate the traditional rivalry which exists between the applied and social sciences within the university community. According to dean of engineering

Engineering.: a coat of many colQursof new programmes and departments introduced Archie Sherboume, “it is time to put the physical within the past four years. The faculty of ensciences into perspective and place more emvironmental studies emphasises its inphasis on the social sciences and humanities. The reconcilliation of these variables into an terdisciplinary approach to education. The intereducational pattern is not an exact science but faculty program board exists to promote inrather is only groping in the dark”. The teraction and understanding between faculties. engineering faculty is working on this problem Within engineering the department of systems now. design provides a much broader spectrum of subjects related to social problems than is All engineering curricula --specify that the available in the traditional fields of engineering. engineering student take four non-technical The first class in systems design will graduate courses in the time he spends at Waterloo. In this spring and it is to be hoped that these theory, these provide a minimum exposure to and of the societies non-technical students will bring new life to the engineering appreciation profession. problems. Unfortunately, the attitude of most students is to regard these courses as a necessary Another -aspect of the problem of education at evil and consequently search out the easiest or soWaterloo and across Canada was hinted at by called ‘bird’ courses which require a minimum of Sherbourne. It is an accepted -fact that there exist work to complete. The idea seems to be to get the good professors and not so good professors. The degree having done as little work as possible. L% latter present engineering (as a mundane repetitive process. This may be due to the fact Engineers are not ashamed of the fact that- they that their experience in engineering is limited and are motivated primarily by money. As Sherbourne put it, “It’s a more valid motive than they have not been exposed to the challenges of most”. the actual profession. In the past the division between these fields of Sherbourne’stated that only 30 to 40 percent of interest was cultivated by the educational system Waterloo’s -engineering faculty had actual of the high school. The distinction is implied by engineering experience. Several faculty members the use of the terms ‘science technology and maintain their contact with the profession by trades’ and ‘Arts and science’. In Sherboume’s practising as consultants. It would be interesting mind the recent changes in the high school to study the correlation between professor system have not caused the quality of students popularity and amount of engineering experience. entering university to deteriorate“todays _ The statistics of engineering 1enrolment point students are much more alive and aware”.

If the students interest in his futureprofessional organization could be increased, the job of that organization would be much simplified: Where better to improve the status of the professional organization than within the university community? There are at presenton campus student chapters of several Canadian professional engineering societies. Their activities reflect the position of their parent organizations, only. the engineering sector is aware of their presence. The Canadian public and the Canadian engineer have come to believe that the competent Canadian engineer does not exist or is at least very hard to find. That was the opinion expressed by Oscar Zonatta of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario (APEO) . “We’ve-been conditioned by a Madison Avenue approach that foreign design is preferrable? To him this is a serious problem which should be faced by every Canadian resident, not just by the Canadian engineer. The roots of this problem are to be found in Canada’s political and economic history-in short, foreign ownership and control of Canadian resources and industry. These are aspects of a problem which -though not the sole concern of the engineer are of paramount importance to the future of engineering in Canada. Speaking for the Committee for an- Independent Canada (CIC), Mel Hurtig delivered a speech entitled ‘who are you and where are you ,going’. After hearing him out, one might have added ‘How do you think you’ll get there’. The CIC was formed 3 years ago with the intention of educating the Canadian public to the extent. of foreign control of Canadian industry and the dangers of allowing that control to extend to an increasing number of Canadian interests. Hurtig listed an impressive number of statistics to show how Canadians are giving their country away. Large portions of Canada’s industries are no longer in the control of Canadians. The manufacturing facilities are 63 percent foreign owned; aircraft -and rubber industries are 92 percent owned by aliens; Canadians own a fraction of one percent of Canada’s petroleum industry. These are but a few examples o’f a trend which has been discussed for 18 years in

“Getting Canadian engineers to do Canadian engineering work is not as important as deciding whether of not that needs to be done.” --John Tofflemire. Canadian politics and business. Numerous reports have been prepared by and for Canadian government urging that definitive action be taken to stop and reverse this trend! So far little progress has been made but the CIC is determined that something must and will be done i before it is too late. In order to return Canada to the control of Canadians several misconceptions and myths must be cleared up. One statement that is generally accepted as being true i&that without foreign ownership our standard of living would

drop. This myth is believed to have originated by -prime minister Lester Pearson when he misread a speech saying, in effect that Canada’s standard of living would drop by 25 percent without foreign investment. The conclusions of the Watkins, Wahn, Gray and Ontario reports ail state that the benefit of foreign capital to our standard of living is vir--+ tually nil. Recent studies of net benefits show that in 1972 foreign investment contributed an infinitesmal benefit for Canadians. The figure quoted by Hurtig was one third of one percent of the gross national product. This works out to

“The identity of the Canadian engineer is difficult to define. The on/y true Canadian engineer is the \ Canadian beaver!” -Unidentified Windsor delegate.. about 14 dollars per Canadian in 1972. It appears that Canada has been sold for incredibly tiny rewards. Another myth shattered by Hurtig is that foreign ownership creates employment. ,Between 1946 and 1967, there was a 43.8 billion dollar increase or expansion in foreign ownership.. Only nine billion of this came from outside Canada, the profits made in Canada, by Canadian labour and with Canadian capital have been used to expand foreign ownership. When the thriving Itrade relationship with the US and other countries is brought up it must be pointed out that we sell only the raw materialsour natural resources. Most commodities imported into Canada are finished products, often the end results of those materials we exported. It seems that Canada exists to provide jobs in other countries while we remain unconcerned with our -own problems of unemployment. Unemployment is an issue with which every Canadian citizen is familiar. Foreign investment is not the means to ensure that every Canadian will have a job. It is a common sentiment that sufficient jobs would be created if we were to concentrate on the development of our natural resources. This is simply not so. The expense incurred in this approach to solving the problem of unemployment would be prohibitive. Hurtig stated that it would cost $625,000 to create one new job in the tar sands of Alberta. The projection is that until 1979, Canada will have to produce 2$000 new jobs per month just to maintain a six percent unemployment rate. The solution lies in the promotion of research and development within .Canadian industry. At present there is less development being done in Canada than there was in 1961. Most of this type of work now goes- to the United States + The simple explanation for this is that as Canadian companies are taken over by outside interests, they become subsidiaries of mammoth industrial corporations and lose any identity they may have had as a Canadian company. The existing research and development facilities and often entire engineering departments are phased out, their duties to be taken over by departments at the new head office. Also, the markets of these companies are often restricted by the parent companies. Hurtig quoted an instance where the Studebaker company (then American owned) was not allowed to complete a sale of locomotives to Cuba. The reason-it violated the American trade c with the enemy act. It can be seen that the engineer is ‘daectly

affected by foreign. ownership in Canada. The blame must be shared by the capitalist who sells out for the highest price and the politician who allowed it to happen by not acting when the problem was first recognized. Indirectly, the engineer could also be held. responsible. Engineers are generally accepted to be capitalists. It is also common knowledge that the engineer often rises- to a position of management or ownership of a company. In this light the engineer can be seen to be in an excellent position to do something about foreign ownership in Canada if they had real nationalistic interests. There are several approaches to the solution.. For Hurtig a first step is to replace capitalism with nationalism. The precepts of free enterprise must be redefined-in Hurtig’s words “today, one who sells his country, is called an entrepreneur. That’s not what he was called in the past. The capitalist will, unfortunately, always be with us and we can only hope that he will adopt a nationalistic attitu-de. The politician, however, can be replaced. Waterloo MP Saltzman expressed optimism that the problem can be resolved m-the’ Canadian political forum. In his words, “we must distinguish between ownership and power. Ownership is not power”. This would imply that those foreign owners have no control over their holdings in Canada. The Canadian government can always take steps to correct the problem when it decides it is necessary. This is a direct contradiction of the old cliche, ‘possession is nine tenths of the law’. The time may come when we will not be allowed to repatriate our country. The engineer has never played a prominent role in politics at any level. Saltzman says this is due to the fact that the engineer is not suited to the political climate; like oil and water, engineers and politics do not mix. The engineer is trained to be apractical person and to ask practical questions. The field of politics is notorious for its irrationality and frustration. Saltzman expressed doubts that the engineer would ever make a significant contribution to politics until he learned to live with frustration. “The engineer should assume what importance he can. He can adapt to politics if he chooses, otherwise he should stick to doing his job and leave the decision making to the politician.” Summing up his opinions on the question of foreign ownership, he. stated “the reality of the problem is political. If you want to stQ/ something about it, vote NDP - in the next election! ” After hearing so many conflicting opinions on several aspects of the engineers problems, the closing session of t,he conference on Sunday morning was surprisingly very unproductive and relatively quiet. The few remaining delegates presented very few concrete resolutions and then didn’t pass all of those. A rather lengthy resolution recommending the promotion of Canadian engineering in many ways was passed unanimously. In short, it summed up the discussions and suggestions of the entire conference quite well. A recommendation that the CCES actively support the aims and goals of the CIC was defeated when it was pointed out that the delegates should not make what was essentially a personal decision for the students they /represented, The most controversial motion was presented by the Waterloo delegation and it dealt with the public image of the engineer. It was resolved that those engineering society representatives present make every effort to publicize the zngineering profession so as to enhance the public image of the engineer. A lengthy discussion followed on the merits of this resolution. Some of the delegates argued that its intent was good but it was impracticalapparently the discussion of practicality had developed over other resolutions at past conferences. When the vote was taken it was passed with 28 for, I5 against and 8 abstentions. At this point the UBC delegation asked that the vote be recorded. There was some doubt that any action would be taken by the delegates after leaving the conference. UBC felt that it should be the duty of future conferences to check who had supported the motion. ’ One of the last actions of the conference was to pass a motion presented by Windsor: ‘whereas the identity of the Canadian engineer is hard to define, be it resolved that the only true Canadian engineer is the Canadian beaver’. This was amended to accept the beaver as the official emblem of the conference’. With the unanimous acceptance of this motion, the delegates retreated to their hotel rooms to get ready for that long trip home. Next year’s conference will be held in Alberta. It’s theme has yet to be determined.

i Race restored ’

Race. John R. Baker, 1974. Oxford University Press, New j York and London, 625~. The -prevalence of the environmentalist point of view in intellectual circles in the discussion of racial differences has come about as a consequence of eqalitarianism in society at large, not as Baker suggests, from revulsion at Hitler’s policies’. The opposing or fixist view, with its connotations of class as well as of race, stems from the mediaeval concept of divine power from above represented in the inherent hierarchical order of things. He traces the ‘development of biological and philosophical opinion on the matter of race. Blumenbach, Sommerring, Camper and Tiedmann showed a dispassionate interest in the objective taxonomic classification of man, Rousseau’s reactionary Discourse ‘sur l’origine de l’inegalite parmi les hommes an excerpt of which is the * epigraph to the book forms the theme and purpose of Baker’s hypothesis. Hume concludes in his Essays moral and political that differences in “Temper” of various nations cannot be due solely to the environment.. Gobineau’s Essai sur l’inegalite cfes races humaines regards the capacity to originate a . great civilization as the principal criterion for judging the superiority of a race. From morphological evidence Baker, as a biologist, relates this capacity to phylogenetic advancement. He divides man into several taxonomic units known as stirpes which form a Formenkreis of types and considers the possiblity that some of these -, various stirpes such ‘as t$he , Khoids, San&, Australids, . Europids and Indianids may actually be of different species. Hybridization (or as Baker calls it, Misenagenation) may obscure these relationships because of the extreme domestication of man. Little statistical evidence is available to support or refute ’ his.This basis ‘of classification is rightly not that of colour but rather of morphological characteristics. Axillary ’ glands are nearly absent in Mongolids except in the circumanal region hence there is also dry ear wax. Such glands are present on the chest and abdominal skin of some Negrids, on the mons pubis, nipple area and in front of the ear in Australids. Differences in body odour in the axillary and genital-anal areas are notable. The prominence of these glands in the Australids is considered a pongid or apelike feature. Skeletal morpholo& is the basis of most comparison of the various groups. Thus the brain case of the Australids is more massive and has a smaller capacity-about 1290 ml.-than those of other groups. An occipital bulge, elevated sagittal ridge and prominent superciliary ridges are the most outstanding features. A prognathous facial plane and weakly developed anterior nasal spine give the typical Australid appearance. Lumbar convexity is less strongly developed than in Europids. The hallux or big toe is small and the foot is not strongly arched on,$he, inner side. The sulcus lunatus in the one specimen examined resembles the Affenspalte or monkey cleft of the posterior of the brains of apes. A fronto-temporal pterion is more frequent in the Australids than in the other groups. * Paedomorphism in the Sanids , or bushmen of Africa is responsible for many of the peculiarities of these people. Short extremities, sparse facial and body hair: extreme orthogathy, small ear and wide set eyes are regarded as infantile. Remarkable are- the external genitalia and steatopygia in women. The superior frontal gyrus is simple and the-sulcus lunatus is prominent.

performance. Director Maurice Evans deserves credit for his willingness to ‘afford students with an opportunity where they can practise and experience live drama in a major production. All the actors and stage crew can proudly say that they have a success behind them that no person or persons can take away.

Musical. happening&\ This evening you can hear three of our most, accomplished musicians soloing in concertos by Mozart and Beethoven, by the University of accompanied Waterloo Orchestra under the direction of Alfred Kunz. Joanne Elligsen will perform the Beethoven Third Concerto, soloist in Elligsen is the soprano Mozart’s “Exsultate Jubilate”, which is in effect a concerto for voice; and Andrew Tao, whose work. a year ago& the Mozart 23rd Concerto, is back again with that master’s Zlst Concerto, in C Major (K. 467). This is the concerto with the haunting and soulful slow movement which provided the background (and, most of the interest) for the movie “Elvira Madigan”, a fact which the record companies seem to feel obliged to mention on the jacket of each new recording of it that comes out. The whole thing without pauses for romantic vapidities can be heard if you turn out this evening. It’s one of the great things. So, for that matter, is the soprano piece which is much earlier Mozart (K. 165)) less profqund but very lovely and with a L hair-raisingly difficult “Alleluia” section at its finish. We are unbelievably fortunate to have artists who can even attempt this kind of music, let alone bring it off as well as we know that these performers are able to do. In the present case, we are also fortunate to have been able to mount the concert at all, for some weeks ago it appeared that financial support might not be available for the many expenses involved. Due to last-minute donations by the Environmental Studies, Science, Mathematics, and Arts Societies as well as the Creative Arts Board and Federation of Students,the concert was able to be resurrected. If you are a member of one of those groups, why not go and hear what you paid for? It ‘11 only cost an extra 50 cents. 8: 00 in the ’ Theatre of the Arts. Next week there’s also the spring choral concert. Last weekend the- K-W Symphony devoted its sixth concert of the season, aided by the Kitchener Bach Choir and the K-W Philharmonic Choir, to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Arnold Schoenberg and the 150th of the birth of anton Bruckner, using St. Mary’s church instead of the . usual Humanities Theatre location. Two Schoenberg choral pieces, five Bruckner motets, and the Bruckner Te Deum comprised the prograi‘m. Probably a good many people in the audience had *their first hearing ,of either of these composers, neither of whose works are terribly popular with concertgoem_ anywhere in North America, although Bruckner’s works are familiar to symphony audiences in &era1 in Europe. Bruckner countries (Austrian, 1824-1896) is one of the “in” composers in hi-fi circles, however, because of his long, sonorous, and demanding (on one’s equipment and ears!) symphonies. His choral work is very different for the most part, and much less well-known. The present Motets are for unaccompanied choir, and their performance by the Kitchener Bach Choir was nothing short of a revelation. The choir, a small group of carefully chosen voices, has never sounded so well in any of the several concerts I have heard themin. Perfect intonation, smooth control of dynamics, and evidence of total involvement in the music, plus the very careful and searching interpretative control exercised by - -Howard Dyck, their regular conductor, made for memorable performances. Much the same goes for the rendition by the same group of Schoenberg’s early work, “Friede auf Erden” (“Peace on Earth). Although not written in, the completely atonal style of most of his later work, this ‘is -nevertheless a harmonically demanding piece. In recording of the work under Robert Craft’s direction, it also struck me as a crashing

bore; but this was decidedly not true of the Bach Choir’s account of the work. The first and last, items on the program ‘had orchestral accompaniment and were conducted by Raffi Armenian. “Survivor from Warsaw” Schoenberg’s is a short, ferociously complicated, -extremely difficult, and withal very moving- piece with a dramatic narration as well as a short part for male chorus. The narrator in this case .was Michael Braw tree, a playwright, actor, and director who is now an Associate Direcotr at Stratford. He provided an intensely dramatized reading of the text, intricately punctuated, -underlined, and sometimes overwhelmed by Schoenberg’s score. Composed in 1948, only a few years before his death, it is in his mature serialist style. The rules of serialism, in case you don’t know about this compositional device which is mostly Schoenberg’s contribution to our musical heritage, require that every tone of the 12-tone scale be employed-in the basic theme (hardly what you’d call a “melody” normally), which is then repeated in-various forms, e.g. with some notes inverted, or played backwards or whatever. The “Survivor” modifies this device by using only six tones whzh are then repeated in mirror image. The harmonic results of this are, not surprisingly-, extremely dissonant and music written in this vein is scarcely ever pleasant to hear. It can, however, be powerful, striking, and effective in the expression of the more painful human emotions. It is, thus, a- fine vehicle for portraying the plight of jewish victims of Nazi extermination tactics in Warsaw during the second world war-a subject which would naturally move Schoenberg, himself, one. of the many Jewish artists who fled to North America in the wake of the>Nazi domination of Germany. I was extremely impressed by the orchestra’s success in negotiating this score, which must have been the product of intense rehearsal. Bruckner’s Te Deum calls for a great big chorus and orchestra, four soloists, and organ. We had to get by with a smallish orchestra, of course. Yet in St, Mary’s, they managed to produce a reasonably big sound that wasn’t quite‘ steamrollered by the combined effects ofthe Philharmonic and Bach Choirs. Despite lots of small deficiencies of performance by the soloists and imprecisions in the orchestra, one was simply swept up by this mighty work, a consummatory hymn . of praise to Bruckner’s God.’ We are told by his biographers that Bruckner’s religious faith was as near to being utterly naive and unshakable as the human frame is capable of; and both the naivety and the unshakability are manifest in this Te Deum. But whatever -one’s religious proclivities, this musical blitzkrieg will take you by s&m; at least if it is , performed with the feeling and power which Armenian drew from his forces last weekend. -jan

. Sex-not rational! “You can’t be a rationalist in an irrational world. It isn’t rational.” -This portrays the mood of the play “What the Butler Saw” ‘a play directed by -Maurice Evans presented in the Theatrelof the Arts last week. The combination of slap-stick style- comedy, dramatic irony and the air of sexual activities made for an interesting play. The play fulfilled need for upliftment by the drama people. It provided humour that broke down the downcast spell that hovered above drama here. The play was a farce and helped provide a variation in the kind of drama seen here. It provided an opportunity for , students to learn of a different author; keeping in step with the learning nature of university theatre. It also provided a play that studentscould handle. The play required a small cast thus affording more rehearsing time more opportunity to work together. Since the entire cast was students, an actual experience of developing and performing a play. This last point refers to an area much lacking at this university. Only involvement in a play as a cast or stagecrew member can provide the necessary experience in ‘learning to become either actor or crew member for any form of professional theatre. Plays done with entire student casts allow this to happen. Any student interested in acting must practise his art. If not the skill will be lost. At the University of Waterloo students do not get the time or place to practise and experience acting. The play was generally well done with few exceptions, as there always are. The over use of overt gestures in delivering lines a bit too excessive to add any more to the ludicrous atmosphere. This is a rather minor and picky point as, on the whole, the acting complimented the script. Prentice, played by Bob Ciupa, seemed to be the driving force that moved the plot along quickly not letting -. the mood die. In the beginning, from his attempts to cover up the would-be seduction of Geraldine and . his disproving of his perversion and solving .the problems he created in his cover-up in the end the pace of the play flowed steadily. The otheractors and actresses all seemed to be well suited for their roles. This is seen especially in the role of Rance, played -by Dennis Johnson, the apparently sane psychologist who comes to investigate Prentice’s Psycho-Clinic and turns out to be the only one who is insane. _I _ The play itself was loaded with farcical humour, slapstick comedy and old style English music hall comedy. The play’s author Joe Or-ton used many ideas of Oscar Wilde and melodramatic _ theatre. The play is perhaps a classic if _ there is such a thing in. modem farcical drama. All the actors deserve credit for this

With the release of Sidney Lumet’s film Serpico, there is strong evidence to believe that at least one portion of-the movie industry is trying to establish itself as a reaction to the current theme of ‘cop as anti-hero’. Norman Wexler and Waldo Salt have taken Peter Maas’ novel and transformed it into a workable, somewhat flawed, screenplay. The opening scenes depict Frank Serpico being rushed to the hospital -after being_ shot in a setup arranged by his fellow officers in order to get rid ofhim. Via flashback we see his past career with the force-his surprise and subsequent revulsion with the degree-of graft present in the Department. The pressures prove too much for him and he eventually exposes the situation to the public. Lumet tries to pull the story off by resorting to a collage of cliched themesyouth culture, alienation in society, impotence in power, cops and robbers, - or, more basically, Serpico versus the world. He’s a-loner, wanting to do his job and be left alone;but the rest of the force is “out to get him ‘cause he isn’t on the take”. What characterizes the rest of the force is that they are incredibly straight, middle class people. Serpico is the only hip, honest, good looking cop in the. filmthe rest are --ugly, straight, dishonest,, and powerful. Perhaps a bit too much of a dichotomy. Even the crooks look better than the cops. Still, Serpico is hip; he offers an alternative to getting beaten, and is the one who expertly lights up his joint at a drug orientation lecture. He lives in his “free spirit” pad in the village with plants, animals, and women-the women, incidentally are all shallow beingsthey say they’ll stick it out with him, but in fact just want marriage and families. His devotion to -duty carries him through any bad times he may encounter. At this stage he is supposed to have the full sympathy of the audience. He is a sensitive, thoughtful cop who likes ballet, philosophy, and literature, as well as having all the other cops in the power structure hatinghima character t%ilormade for instant audience identification. Quite a change from the usual praise for the brutality of “Popeye” Doyle in The French Connection, Frank Bullit, and Clint Eastwood in his collection, Coogans Bluff, Dirty Harry, and Magnum Force, and even to some degree - Madigan. These are films of anarchy besought by nihilism with the society turned in on itself-the police officer defending what even he doesn’t believe in- the victims past caring what ‘is happening to them ,,, Al Pacino playssrSerpico not as the man who blew the whistle on crime in the. New York Police Department, but- as a frustrated claustrophobic loser who gets his gold shield for being stupid enough to get himself shot. It ends on the final ironic note of a printed epilogue ,, such as we’ve come _to -expect in films like Z & The, French Connection telling of Serpico’s resignation and self-imposed exile in Switzerland. The result is a rejection of the super-cop image as well as a negation of the value of his experiences. The confusion that remains in the mind of the audience is indicative of the state of the film that tries- to mix the norms and outlines of the standard - police drama. -john

Paul Sweezy is the co-editor, with Harry Magdoff, of Monthly Review, an independent socialist magazine in the United States. He is also the author of The Theory of Capitalist Development and co-author, with Paul Baran, of Monopoly Capital. He has also written on the Cuban revolution, American economics, an’d the problems of the transition from capitalism to socialism. He was at WGill last week to speak on the United States and multi-national corporations. In this interview, conducted by Nesar Ahmad, Michel Celemenski, Joan Mandell, and Herman Rosenfield of the McGill Daily, he -speaks on his lifelong work and activity for socialism and comments on the problem of economic development in the Third World.

DAILY: Could you begin by speaking a bit about yourself? SWEEZY: I was born in New York City and. grew up in the, suburban area. I graduated from- ,Exeter and Harvard, which are sort of Ivy League schools, in 1932. I was a completely orthodox neoclassical economist, and I went for one year to the London School- of Economics, .h 1932-33. There I ran into an entirely different situation. A lot of the graduate students came from the London East End and had had radical experiences. There were several Marxists, like Harold Laski. There had been nothing like_ that around Harvard at the time, as far as I know. That was the year that the banks went bust and Hitler came to power in Germany and the Depression reached a low. It was quite a year. And all this had no place in the textbooks‘or the courses in economics that I had taken; so it seemed as though reality was completely separated from everything that was taught. That began to make me think about what was going on. ’ Just_ about that time, the English ’ translations of Trotsky’s History of the Russian Revolution came out and I read it. I really didn’t know’ anything about the Russian revolution. I didn’t even know if I had ever heard of it-maybe vaguely, but not really. And this suddenly opened up an entirely new way of thinking. I began to cons%& myself a Marxist. It was during the next four or five years or so or maybe more that I really stopped and began to think, “What does it really mean to be a Marxist?“. A About 1936 or so, I went back to Harvard after I got done at LSE and became an instructor and tutor in economics. A few years later, there was a course in the economics of socialism, which had been taught by Professor Mason and I had been his assistant for several years. He got tired of teaching it, and he handed it over to me. So for the next three or four years, I taught this course and I found there was - really no suitable reading matter in the whole area of Marxian economics; so I started to write something myself, and it took a long’ time. That developed and changed, and it finally resulted in the book The Theory of Capitalist Development, which was published in 1942. Just about then, I finished at Harvard and went into-the army. That had been a period of three or four years of trying to make up my own mind and understand . -

Marxism. It provided me with clarification. I would suggest that the best way to something is to write a book give a course.

a lot of selfto anyone understand about it or

During the war I was’ in the Office of Strategic Services - in the Research and Analysis branch. We were supposed to evaluate what was coming out of the Axis powers. I spent most of the war in England, France, and Germany. After that, I came back to the United- States, got out of the army, and had the problem of whether to go back to Harvard, where I could have taught for two-and-a-half years on the remainder of my contract. But I ascertained at the time through talking to friends in the department that the department was split down the middle about ever promoting me to a permanent position; so I decided to forget it, and I resigned. It is not true, as often gets around, that I was fired. I lived for the next ten years in the country, up in New Hampshire, writing. In 1949, Leo Huberman and I founded the Monthly Review with a donation of $5,000 a year from F .L. Mathieson. We had been good friends with him and often spoke about the desire to build an independent Marxist magazine. DAILY: Could you clarify that? What does it mean to be an independent, Marxist magazine? SWEEZY: To start off: a paper<with no strings attached, no party ties, no obligations to anyone, no political affiliations or commitments to any politicalline or anything of the sort. The first issue of Monthly Review had 400 subscribers; that was in 1949. This May will be the 25th anniversary. The magazine now has a circulation of around 12,000. We started publishing books in 1951. I .F. Stone had written the Hidden History of the Korean War. He couldn’t find a publisher anywhere in the United States or England. It was a very critical expose of the way the war had been handled by the U.S. and the lies that had been put out under MacArthur’s completely phony handling of Propaganda on the invasion of the North and all the rest of it. Stone did a marvellous job of exposing all this. It was the ‘height of the Cold War in the McCarthy period in the U.S., and nobody would touch it. So we decided somebody had to publish it. We then invented the imprint Monthly Review Press. That book was the first publication; and after -that, there was a long period during the next four or five years of McCarthy in which we published quite a number of other -books that nobody would publish. We soon found that we had a little publishing house; and after a while, it became, sufficiently well established so that people would come to us with books or some ‘translation that nobody in the United States would publish. DAILY: Why do you think that Monthly Review was not interrupted during the McCarthy period? SWEEZY: You have--to remember that the bourgeois-democratic freedoms in certain areas, ’ like freedom to publish if you have the money to do it, is quite a deep tradition. While it is a very fragile one, it still exists. We were never really big enough or influential enough to warrant anyone getting very excited / i ‘;‘,i; !’ ;$ ,F’_ .‘/ . 1

rich ‘countries it has exa$ly the opposite effect. They develop when they are cut off from the rich countries such as during wars and during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. 1,t was during those periods that there was some degree of industrialization and development in the South American countries such as Brazil aqd Argentina. But all this mythology of a common interest between the advanced and the underdeveloped countries continues to exist and constitutes what you ‘might call the core of development economics. DAILY: But isn’t Brazil developing now under the tutelage of American imperialism? SWEEZY: Brazil is developing very rapidly in terms of the increase in the gross national product. It runs around lo12 per cent per year in the last few years, but that is a very interesting case. The president of Brazil, a <few years ago, visited the United States and was quoted in the New York Times as having said that the economy is doing fine but the people aren’t. This is precisely the notion of growth and development that is worshipped by orthodox economicsthe great God gross national product. That real wages; which affect a vast majority of Brazilian people, have gone down by a half since 1964, when the military government took over, doesn’t seem to bother anybody at all. What has happened in terms of Marxian theoretical analysis is that the relative surplus value has been enormously increased, and the workers and the peasants, the people who do the work and who create the value of that society, have been pressed down to a barely subsistence minimum and, and, in many cases, a lower than subsistence minimum, to starvation. An enormous surplus product is, thereby, being turned up. Now, the question is, who is going to consume this surplus product? Certainly not the mass of the people who’have been put down to the minimum of subsistence standard. So what you have is an upper class and. an upper middle class that is going, towards what we have come to call a consumer’s society, buying such things as cars and appliances, (all on credit, of course), houses, second houses, boats, the whole bit. This involves, at the outside, maybe 15-20 per cent of the population. That doesn’t eat up all the surplus, either, so you have to -have a tremendous export

drive. They are going in for exports on an enormous‘ scale,&vading marketsall over the world-in iparticular South America and Africa. To further back up all of this, they play a sub-imperialist role as a junior partner of the United States. For that function they must have military strength. There is an enormous increase in spending for the Brazilian military establishment. They’re now making their own ships and I think they’re even making their own planes. So what you have is a monster growing that has absolutely nothing to do’ with the welfare of the Brazilain people. . There are 90 million people, of whom some 75 million are living on the verge of starvation or on a subsistence minimum. There may be a small, relatively wealthy working class in some industries, but it doesn’t amount to much. The spread of capitalist farming also means that you have more and more peasants being put off the land and congregating around the cities. Brazil is a classic example of South American countries where you find cities with ,a very small, enormously wealthy, upper class and the whole city completely surrounded by shanty towns. Brazil is a perfect example of successful capitalist development. DAILY: The argum$nt can be made that the strong centralized government will only exist until a pluralist opposition is formed and with the advance of capitalism there can also be a sufficient redistribution of income. SWEEZY: What is the< kind of capital that is being developed? Automobile industries, armaments industries, appliances, and technologically sophisticated export industries. What has this got to do with the Brazilian masses? It has nothing to do with them. You can’t suddenly redistribute armaments. You’ve got to do the whole thing over again. You’ve got to junk all that stuff. Ihou’re going to have a serious program,of developing the- economy and promoting the welfare of the mass of the people. ’ We saw this in Chile. The Popular Unity came in, and its first, moves were to expand the ‘purchasing power of the working classes, the poorer classes. They did it by raising income and by temporarily holding down prices. There was a tremendous increase for a while-in textiles, clothing, food- the kind of things that the mass of people in a poor country consume. It had nr;‘ching to do with these

which have not even been explored. Brazil ’ has a whole range of climate from a moderate or temperate zone in the south, j all the way to a tropical zone in the north. It has tremendous potential, and in time, I don’t see any reason why it might not develop to a point when-the United States and the other advanced powers get into increasing rivalry and knock each I other off to a certain extentthat Brazil might not come up into that league. Not that I think that will do any good for the Brazilian people. Au contraire, the only way out for Brazil and all other countries is a genuine revolution. DAILY: Doesn’t that bring into question our whole notion of what constitutes development? For example, . Galbraith , earlier said that there are basically two ‘types of societies -one that is egalitarian _ and distributes those goods ‘that are available as best it can, and the other where there is such a .vast surplus produced in relation to the needs of the community, (without taking into account, / 3 of course, that this often depends on the _~ exploitation of other areas) that a certain . trickle-down is effected, which ultimately provides people with their needs. SWEEZY: Well, Galbraith has gone through a considerable “development” himself. In. his American Capitalism, which was published in 1950 or ‘51, he took a very complacent view of the situation in-the United States. The next book was The Affluent Society, where he treated inequality and poverty as disappearing problems.

The Symbionkpe Liberation Army is a revolutionary org’aniza$l&n dedicfrted to the overthrow of the capitalist system. Randolph Hearst is one of the wealthiest capitalists of them all. In this article, which includes a complete reprint of the SLA’s manifesto, Susan Johhson examines some-of the realities behind the recent, highly-publicized chain of events which began with the capture of Hearst’s dqyghter Patricia by the SLA in early February. 1 _ On February 4, 1974 the Symbionese Liberation Army took, as Prisoner-ofWar, Patricia Hearst, daughter of the American magnate Randolph Hearst. The commercial press has been using the act of war as an excuse for an alarmist and often propaganda attack against ‘terrorism’. The press also pl+ys its role by failing t? place acts of political violence in their proper context -: that of the history of oppression suffered by the ethnic and other minorities in the United States of America. Most newspapers refuse td acknowledge the actions of t_he SLA as anything more than an irrational kidnapping when instead it ‘is the action of a Very rational and determined group of people fully prepared to follow its actions through as if in war. The SLA has attempted to bring to the forefront of the American conscience the plight of the poor and oppressed people of the United States. In reply Hearst has done all in his power to make those minority people feel guilty and appear like animals in the receiving of the food designated for them. The political manifesto of the .Sym- ’ bionese Liberation Army, printed here in full, outlines its political basis and goals, and hopefully will help dispel the media’s attempt to portray it as nothing more th n a bunch of criminals. “i The Symbionese /Federation and the Symbionese Liberation Army is a united and federated group’mg of different races and people and socialist political parties of the Xoppressed people of the fascist United States of America, who have under black and minority leadership formed and joined the Syrlbionese Federated Republic and have agreed to struggle together in behalf of all their people and races and political parties interest in the gaining of freedom and self determination and independence for all their people and races. The Symbionese Federation’is not a government, but rather it is a--united and federated formation of members of different races and people and political parties who haqe agreed to struggle in a united front--f&= the independence and self determination of each of their races and people and the liquidation of the common\enemy . And who by this federated formation represent their future and independent pre-governments and nations of their people and races. The Symbionese Federation is not a party-,-but rather it is a federation, for its’ meI&ers are made up of members of all the most oppressed people of this fascist people. The Symbionese, Liberation Army is an army of \ehe people; and is made.up of members of all the people. The SLA has no political power or political person over it that dictates who will fight and die if needed for the freedom of our people and children, but does not risk their life or fight too for our freedom, but and rather the SLA is bath political military in that the SLA the army- officer, whether fernare or male is also the political officer and they both are the daughters and sons of the people and they both fight as well as speak for the freedom of our people and children. i

The Symbionese Federation and Sytibionese Liberation Army is made up of the aged, youth and women and men of 611 races and people. The name Symbionese is taken from the word symbiosis and we define itsmeaning as a body of dissimilar bodies and organisms living in deep and loving harmony and partnership in the best interest of all within the body. We of the Symbionese Federation and the SLA define ourselves by this name because it states that we are no longer willing to allow the enemy of all our people and children to murder, oppress and exploit us nor define us by colour and thereby maintain .division rather have joined among us, but together ’ und& black and minority lead&ship in behalf .of all our different races, and people to build a better and new coalition of members from the Asian,black, brown, Indian, white, women, grey and gay liberation movements. Who have all come to see and understarid that only if we unite and build our new world and future will there really be a future for our children and people. We of the’-people and not the ruling capitalist class, will build a new world and system. Where there is really freedom and a’ true meaning to justice and equality for all women and.men of all races and people, and an end to the murder and oppression, exploitation of all people. We of the Symbionese Federation and the SLAsare the children of all oppressed people, who have decided to redefine ourselves as ,a Symbionese race and people. Yet, recognizing the rich cultures of each and enforcing our rights to existence of tour many cultures within a united federation of independent and sovereign nations, each of them flourishing and protected by its own laws and codes of self determination. We are of many colours, but yet of one mind, for we all in history’s time on this earth have become part of each other in suffering and in mind, and have agreed that the murder, oppression and ex’ ploitation of our children and people must end now, for we all have seen the murder; oppression and exploitation of our people for toolong under the hand of the same enemy and class of people and under the same system. Knowing this, the Symbionese Federation and the SLA know that our often murderous alienation from each other aids and is one of the fundamental streiigths behind the ruling capitalist class’s ability to tiurder and oppress us all. By not allowing them to define us by colour, and also recogni@ng that by refusing ourselves to also internalize this false division definition, knowing that in mind and body we are facing the same enemy and that we are all comiades of one people, the murdered and ohpressed, we are now able to- become a united people under the Sytibionese Federation and make-true the words of our codes of unity that to die a race and be born a nation is to become fr,ee. Theiefore, we of the Symbionese Federation and the SLA do not under the rights of human beings submit to the murder, oppression and exploitation of our children and people and do under the rights granted to the people under the Declaration of Independence of the United States, do now by the- rights of our children and people and by force of arms and witk: every drop of our blood, declare revolutiionary war against the fascist capitalist class, and their agents of murder, oppression and exploitation. We support by force of arms the just struggles of all oppressed people for selfdetermination and independence within the United States and the world. And

into being the responsibility of the community, to place our children in the union of real comradeship and in the care of loving interest of the revolutionary community. 13. To destroy the prison system, which the capitalist state has used to imprison the oppressed ‘and exploited, and thereby destroy the love, unity and hopes of millions of lives and families. And to create in its place a system of comradeship and that of group unity and education on the communal and revolutionary level within the community and to bring home our daughters and sons, and sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers and welcome them home with love and a new revolutionary comradeship of unity. 13. To take control of all state land and that of the capitalist class and to give back the land to the people. To form laws and codes that safeguard that no person can own the land, or ‘sell the land, but rather the nation’s people own the land and use it for their needs and interest to live. No one can own or sell the air, the sky, the water, the trees, the birds, the sun, for all of this world belongs to the people of this earth. 14. To take controls of all buildings and apartment buildings of the capitalist class and fascist government and to totally destroy the rent system of exploitation. 15. To build a federation of nations, who shall formulate programs ’ and unions of actions and interest that will destroy the capitalist value system and its other ‘anti-human institutions and who will be able to do this by meeting all the basic needs of all of the people and their nations. For they will be all able to do this because each nation will have full control of all its industries and institutions and does not run them for profit, but in the full interest of all the people of its nation. 16. To destroy all forms and institutions of racism, sexism, ageism, capitalism, fascism, individualism, possessiveness, competitiveness and all other such institutions that have made and sustained capitalism and the capitalist class system that has oppressed and exploited all of the people of our history. By this means and the mutual aid and unity of each nation within the Symbionese, Federation, will each nation be able to provide to each person and couple and family free of cost the five basic needs of life, which are food, health care, housing, education, and clothing, and in this way-allowing people to be able to find and form new values and new systems of relationships and interests , based on a new meaning to life and love. If the quest for freedom is death Then by the death of the enemy will Black and other oppressed people Find and regain their freedom To those who would bear the hopes And future of our people, let the voice Of their guns express the words of freedom. . **** I The SLA demanded that Randolph Hearst provide each person with one of the following cards with $70 worth of meats, vegetables and. dairy products: all people with welfare ! cards, social security cards, pension cards, food stamp qcards, disabled veteran cards, medical cards, parole or probations papers and jail or bail releases. The SLAl wished the distribution organized to run over a month period/and to be handled in an orderly fashion such that the people receiving the goods would not have to wait in long lines and be disgraced in any manner. The cost, of this original demand was somewhere near the $400 million markand it does sound like a. very large amount of money. However, to Randolph Hearst it is really very little-he could well afford to comply with the SLA demands although he says he cannot. To understand this charge it is im-

portant to know who the Hearsts are, what they control and what kind of money they do have at their disposal. The Hearsts made their first fortunes stealing land from the native peoples of North Carolina, Missouri and the American south-west in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and playing a leading role in the United States wars to annex the Mexican, la-rids. The Hearst ‘family used its vast control over ‘the American press to help precipitate the Spanish-American war, a key step in extending US control over the Caribbean and Latin America. In the early 1900’s it was the Hearst publications that fomented pro-fascist movements in the United States, and later supported Hitler and the Nazis. Hearst papers have continually supported the US role in Indochina and Nixon and his policies. Today Hearst controls and owns a national newspaper syndicate which includes the San Francisco Examiner, LOS Angeles Herald-Examiner, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, San Antonio Light, Baltimore News-American, Albany Times -Union, Albany Knickerbocker News, Union Star, and the ‘Boston Herald American. Also he owns a string of radio and television stations which include WBAL AM-FM amd WBAL-TV of Baltimore, Maryland; WISN AM-FM and WISN-TV of Milwaukee,

Wisconsin;

and WTAF-

TV of Pittsburgh, Pennyslvania; and Wapa Radio of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Hearst Corporation, of which Hearst himself is the controlling figure, owns a magazine monopoly composed of over thirteen publications including House Beautifuli Harpers Bazaar, Town and Country and Cosmopolitan. The profits of Cosmopolitan alone are $7-8 million a year; profits of House Beautiful reach the $4 million mark. Individually, Hearst owns vast areas of land in the United States and Mexicoforests, grasslands and cattle ‘farms. These include a silver mine and thousands of acres of land in Mexico; acreage in Hawaii; 70,000 acres of timberland in northern California valued at millions of dollars; a cattle ranch near San Luis Obispo; orange groves in Florida; a duck club and rice paddies outside of Maryville, California; and landholdings in Hillsborough, New York, and San Diego. Each of these holdings is valued at well over one-half million dollars. Hearst has personal stocks in IBM, Beatrice Foods, Exxon, the Sugar Bowl Corporation, Safeway Foods, United Airlines, and Hughes Airways. These accompany his huge holding in drug companies; lumber companies and the cattle ranches. --Among his personal possessions ‘Hearst can also boast a collection of antiques, paintings, Chinese screens and Greek vases. Twenty-four of these vases are valued, at $10,000 each. The family’s personal friend, the Shah of Iran, gave them a collection of Oriental rugs. Howard Hughes has also made a few . personal gifts to the family interest. \ The Hearst Foundation is nothing more than a front for the Hearst fortune. By law, the foundation is required to donate to charity the interest accumulated through the year. The Hearst Foundation donates $3 -million to charity each year. The Hearst Corporation owns stocks in General Motors, one square block of buildings in New York City, as well Ias land and buildings in Europe, Australia and England. Hearst claims he cannot raise the $400 million dollars required to satisfy the SLA when in fact he would have little difficulty if he was interested in complying with the SLA. There is no chance that giving up the $400 million would mean that Hearst would have to find even a regular jo%-with friends like Nixon, Hughes and the Shah of Iran, Hearst would have no trouble finding his way to the top of the ruling class again.

Scholarship is becoming an increasingly expensive hobby. Many of us still remember that, only last year, tuition fees for Ontario universities leapt skywards to the tuneof one hundred dollars; ‘at the same time, athletic fees jumped-some thirty per cent to twenty-two dollars; and, sometime in the next year qr two, an increase in the federation fee seems inevitable. When this picture is rounded out with the rising cost of textbooks, :galloping inflation, and drastic reductions in student grant monies, it becomes pretty obvious that the fond idea of equal educational opportunities for all is taking a distant second place to more worldly priorities. In view of the lack of any guarantee that financial conditions are going to get anything but tighter in the forseeable future, the university’s current plan to commit anywhere up to two million dollars of student money to the luxury of an indoor ice-rink-cum-varsity coliseum over the next fifteen years is at best questionable. This is especially true given that no alternatives to the arena plan have apparently been considered, and that no effort has been made to solicit alternative concepts which could put the money to ‘\ good use in other areas. As an example, the students of Simon Fraser University in /British Columbia recently voted against funding an ice arena in favour of a denticare plan for the student body (see last week’s chevron). Whether such a plan would be feasible here is not certain, since the SFU students are to share the costs of their plan with their. university administration and the BC government, but it is at least indicative of the kinds of things which can be done, and of the benefits which can be reaped by imaginative planning. Now, it may be that, after taking stock of the options available to us, ’ students will still choose to spend their money on a hockey arena. In the interest of making an informed decision, however, let us at least ensure that these options are looked at as carefully and ,dispassionately as possible, and let us not forget that any fee increase must be able to justify itself in the context of the added financial burden it will place on many who are already hard pressed to meet the cost of education. Until some real effort in this direction is made, then, and until the administration has proven its willingness to act responsivkly nd responsibly by providing the time and the resources for other possibilities to be examined, students should withhold support from the arena project, by ( voting ‘no’ when the referendum is held later this month.

“-cir,man’s development, h’er freedom, her independence, must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing-the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children, unless she wants them; by refuszbg to be a servant to God, State, society, the husband, the -family, etc. by making her life simpler, but deeper and richer. That is,-by trying to learn the, meaning and substance of life &,a11 its complexities, by freeing herself from fear qf public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman -free,. :. The right to vote, or equal civil rights, ‘may be good demands, but true emancipation begins neither at the polls nor in the courts.‘ It begins in woman’s soul. History tells us that every oppressed class gains true liberation from its masters through its own efforts. It is necessary that woman learn that lesson, that she real&e that her freedom will reach as far as her power’ to achieve _ her freedom reaches. It is, therefore, far more important for her to begin with inner regeneration, to cut loose from the weight of prel*udices, traditions, and customs. ” -Emma-Goldman . [I 9171
